I called this office because I wanted a second opinion on dental work. The first dentist in Buena Vista, Colorado saw me as a new patient. Full dental xrays were taken and the dentist addressed 2 teeth. A front smaller lateral tooth which I had broken just 3 weeks before, which prompted my visit, and a back molar that would need a root canal and crown redone. I was advised that the smaller broken tooth would also need a root canal and crown. Not feeling excited but needing to address the findings, I agreed to the work. He then told me I would be referred to an oral surgeon in Colorado springs, 3.5 hours away from Buena Vista. I told him going to the Springs would be difficult for me and asked him directly "Isn't there any closer surgeons in the area?" He said "No" The next day I went online and found the number for Relaxation Dentistry in Salida. I called the office and in seconds I was so relieved to hear Dr. Brown could do surgery. Within minutes I had an appt set for 4 days out, not 3 weeks as was my wait with the first dentist. This Monday I went to see Dr. Brown and my smaller lateral tooth did not need a root canal or a crown. When I heard this, I sat in the chair and cried happy tears. I not only saved a tooth but time, gas, pain and suffering. The original bill for the first dental estimate in total was 2800.00, so I will save thousands when it's all said and done. I am so thankful for finding this dentist, and that I followed my gut. read more

Dr. Brown and his staff have been so amazing and beyond helpful! I had taken my daughter to another dentist in town where they had referred me out to the front range. It was unexpected and they were not very supportive or understanding at all of my circumstances, so I swung in on a whim to see if Dr.Brown could help and boy did he deliver! He took my daughter right back that day, evaluated the situation and saved us lots of money, a trip, headache, and a root canal, he was able to fill the tooth! He has state of the art technology in his practice! I was shocked at what he could do! Dr. Brown has the capability to do a procedure technically on a tooth before he actually does it to the tooth! This helps to better know what to expect! He is super professional and meticulous. Him and his staff are everything I wish for in a dentist for my kids and myself, how I wish I'd of had this kind of caring, fun, personal dentist and staff when I was a kid, I probably wouldn't have the anxiety I have as an adult to get dentistry done on my own teeth! My kids absolutely LOVE going to Relaxation Dental, they refuse to go anywhere else. Dr. Brown and his staff are the BEST! The Smythe's read more

I made an appointment here to try to find a local dentist and almost got suckered in to paying an excessive amount for unnecessary work. When a trusted family dentist for decades couldn't find a single thing wrong. The business model they use is similar to one you would find in any sales chain. My appointment was more focused on the credentials of the dentist, the new tech of the building, and what my husband did for work. After two hours of being poked and prodded I was told I had enough necessary work that needed to be done to cost close to $2000, not by the dentist who reviewed my X-rays but by the financial specialist who had a print out of teeth circled for where I needed work. Fast forward a couple months to when I can see our regular dentist who upon reviewing X-rays saw no work needed. Don't go here unless you have money to waste, want to be viewed as a dollar sign in their pocket, and want to enter in for a free smoker based on referrals. This was the most uncomfortable and sales focused experience of my life that could have ended in unnecessary work being done. read more

after seeing Dr.Brown for a serious impacted wisdom tooth at age 63 I felt I needed to write my fist review ever because of the absolute professionalism, attention to detail and courtesy he and his staff showed me. If any of you have the fear of seeing a dentist like i do then just RELAX and leave it up to Dr. brown. Having seen many dentist in my life Relaxation Dental is by far the best I have ever been to.

I have been a patient of Dr. Brown's for over a year now, and I couldn't ask for more from a dentist. Dr. Brown actually cares. No, I'm not talking about just "bedside manner,"-- though he surely does exude the requisite professionalism and caring -- I'm talking about a legitimate compulsion to solve dental problems. When he asks you about what has been bothering you with your teeth (often very painful), he listens intently. He holds himself to an exacting standard of care. You can see that any failure to provide you with the best care would lodge in his consciousness and bother him for a long time, so he's going to do the best he can. read more

Hands-down this is the best experience(in 5 decades)I have had at a dentist office! The entire staff was kind, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Ronnie is the best hygienist to ever clean my teeth. Her technique was painless and she is extremely thoughtful. Dr. Nick Brown assuaged my concerns with his calm manner and easy explanations for my dental care. As a new patient with an unexpected chip in my front tooth he fixed it like brand new during the thorough initial visit. Thank you to the entire staff at Relaxation Dental Specialties for taking such good care of me. Sincerely, Jennifer Logan, MD read more

I have severe anxiety in regards to dental visits due to past dental trauma. The whole staff worked together to put me at ease and lessen my anxiety. When I mentioned that I have a very sensitive gag reflux, Danielle offered a remedy that worked and even pulled in another person to help with x-rays to lessen the time I had the device in my mouth. Everyone was very attentive to my concerns and made me feel very comfortable. read more
