I've been coming here for about 4 years and it has always been a good experience. Jenny and the rest of the staff are always on their game and know what it is going on. I love that they take care what is needed from my insurance and I don't have to lift a finger in regards to it. Fortunately, I don't have to see Dr. Swanson for anything major, but on times that I do which is for regular dental exams, it was always a pleasant encounter. The new location is a bit of a drive for me in comparison to Gentry office but it is a LOT nicer neighborhood! read more

Swanson Dental Group - Dr. Swanson - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Reno, Nevada

If you dread going to the dentist (as I did) and are now looking for a new dentist, look no further! I had not seen a dentist since before the start of Covid and, being terrified of dental visits, had put off dental care for several years until I got a toothache and could no longer avoid it. I was very fortunate to discover Dr. Swanson and his amazing staff! The staff is friendly, informative and very professional. They were able to quickly and accurately determine how much my insurance would cover and how much I was responsible for. I had four procedures - a crown replacement, a new crown, an old filling replacement, and a filling for a new cavity. Dr. Swanson and his assistant put me at ease for each procedure, explaining exactly what would happen, answering all my questions, and checking in with me frequently during the procedures. Most importantly to me, Dr. Swanson made sure I was completely numbed up for each procedure. He made sure my crown replacement and my new crown fit perfectly! In fact, even the temporary crowns fit perfectly! And I experienced absolutely no pain in the hours/days after each procedure. Finally, after some of the visits I was pleasantly surprised to receive personal calls from Dr. Swanson just checking in to see how I was feeling. My visits were a vast improvement over past dental visits and I highly recommend Swanson Dental Group without reservation. read more

I love Dr Swanson and his staff. The act like they really care. I never felt pressured about getting work done. Very friendly staff. read more

I had a dental emergency while vacationing at Lake Tahoe. The entire staff provided excellent patient care. The front office staff thankfully squeezed me in same day, and the assistant (I believe her name was Melissa) made sure I was comfortable throughout my visit. Dr. Swanson has an excellent bedside manner. He was very careful during the examination as to not cause any additional pain. Dr. Swanson was thorough to ensure there was no infection present and realistic about my treatment options. I was able to receive a temporary fix same day until I can be seen by my primary dentist back in Virginia. Highly recommend! read more

Visits occurring July-August 2017 Wow! Dr. Swanson's office is as good as it gets. His entire staff is professional, friendly, and regards patient care with the utmost importance. I can not stress this enough: If you are afraid of dentists and having dental work done, you *MUST* come to this office. There is no better place! A little background for me: I'm your typical American citizen. A patriot. A lover of pizza, hot dogs, ice cream and cake. I was also terrified of the dentist, as are so many of us. All of those carb loaded treats tend to do a lot of damage to the teeth. Although I take pretty good care of my dental hygiene at home, it had been 10 years since I lost dental coverage and my history with dentists had me terrified. Alas, however, it was time for a check up. Because my last visit with a hygienist left me somewhat traumatized, I diligently sought a new office to take care of my dental needs that would also be covered by my newly received insurance plan. Swanson Dental Group didn't have a lot of reviews, but all of them described an experience I sought and I decided on this office. Best decision I ever made! I do not kid you when I say that Garrett and his staff do such outstanding work, that--if I had to--I would likely travel out of state in order to receive their care. I've had several visits in the past couple of months: *1 examination with x-rays: This was my first visit, and Diana completely put me at ease and we actually had a lot of fun, pretending it was a photo shoot. I knew then that this office was a winner. *2 visits for deep cleanings: 2 quads done at a time. The first visit was with part time hygienist Nancy. This was where the real terror, for me, sank in. The last hygienist I saw was cranky, in a hurry, and really tore into my gums with no regard to the pain she was causing me. Nancy was so gentle, she didn't even numb me up in the slightest, even though it was an option. I was very anxious at the beginning of this visit, but when it was over I felt great. Second visit with part time hygienist Heather also went amazing! She used a cavitron to clean my teeth and gums this time around. A little more pain than the scraper Nancy used, but she was very tentative to my needs, making sure I was doing alright at every little wince, and it felt like my gums were truly cleansed. *I also had my wisdom teeth extracted from Dr. Swanson himself. He prescribed an oral sedative to treat my anxiety before the appointment. He was very careful making sure I was completely numb, offered me breaks when I needed it. Although I wasn't put to sleep, all 3 extractions went great. Honestly, Dr. Swanson did such a great job that I realized I really didn't need to be put out. Plus it was kind of fun being aware of everything that was going on! *Finally, most recently, I had a crown put in. This process was a little bit longer than the single visit extraction for my 3 wisdom teeth. Now, if you're like me, and you hate the whirring of the tools, or the scraping of the metal against your teeth, I have great news: With permission, Dr. Swanson and his staff allow you to wear earphones and listen to music while you're having your work done! This is great for me, because one of the things that scared me the most about dental work was the sound of the tools being used on my teeth. The visit for the crown went awesome, of course, and Dr. Swanson and Renee took extra care to make sure the impression/mold for my crown was absolutely perfect. So to summarize, this office is definitely as good as it gets! So if you're uneasy or not sure about where to go, choose this place!! You won't regret it! Don't forget to smile! :D Edit: I also wanted to mention, Jenny and Megan did a great job helping to put me at ease. I called a couple hours before my second visit, for a cleaning, and they both talked me through it and helped instill confidence in my visit. Thanks you two! read more

Swanson Dental Group - Dr. Swanson himself! How can you not trust a dentist with a face like that?! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I just wanted to thank Jenny and Dr. Swanson for taking such great care of my 91-year-old Dad. He was in the midst of repairing a broken post and remaking his denture when he ended up in the hospital and was unable to come in to get everything finished. Jenny went way out of her way to come up with a solution so my Dad could continue to eat more normally. I am forever grateful and highly recommend this great dental office. read more

I'm so glad that I found this dental office and this dentist. I've just had a LOT of work done. I recently moved to Reno and hadn't been to the dentist for about three years. Yes, I'm dental phobic. I looked at reviews and compared them with the list of dentists that accepted my plan. Fortunately, I chose Dr. Swanson and his practice. I'm so pleased. Before my first appointment, the dentist actually called me to make sure I understood what was going to happen during my appointment. That level of concern has been shown to me throughout my appointments. I've received more than one call from the dentist checking on how I was doing after a procedure. Dr. Swanson is precise, knowledgeable, careful and kind. He is supported by an awesome staff. Jenny is great at the front desk and very good with insurance. I'm very glad to recommend Dr. Swanson and Swanson Dental Group. read more

My advise to fellow patients is to always recheck/double check your EOB (explanation of benefits) and compare it to what this provider is charging you. Please check and never trust them. This dental office charges more than what is stated on their contract with the insurance company. Office manager even stated that they can charge more than what is stated on the EOB and that's the practice here in Reno??? She also told me that if you have 2 insurances they can charge whatever is the higher limit. Sounded so shady so I had to do my research and got in touch with my insurance, faxed all the charges and my initial payments so they could calculate how much our balance truly is. Jenny, the office manager, was rude and made me feel like I don't understand how this process is and might as well just pay for it. I'm no insurance expert but this is not my first time seeing a dentist so I stand my ground. First I tried to settle and explain to her about the EOB, she doesn't believe me so I asked the insurance rep to talk to her and again she was stubborn. This whole process started July 2021 and was settled March 2022. My insurance had to escalate my case to corporate. Just imagine the hassle of talking back and forth with the insurance company just to follow up with her. Nobody else in the office can settle this except her. There's no customer service, I feel like what they are trying to do is the bare minimum. This office won't try to go out of their way to help you. I know the amount they were over charging us is not much but what I was trying to prove is that they should not be doing that at all. I am willing to pay for the services I received , nothing more nothing less. Dr Swanson seemed nice but he needs to hire somebody who knows billing cause at the end of the day it is his name, his practice that's getting tarnished. read more

Wow! All of my sky-high expectations for Swanson Dental Group have been exceeded! Dr. Swanson and his expert team are simply amazing. I highly -- and I mean highly, recommend! read more

I was in a hell of alot of tooth pain from a rotten tooth I desperately need extracting. They seen me same day gave me the referral to a surgeon who was happily down the road. If it weren't for my insurance saying I couldn't be examined and have a procedure done same day I'm sure they would have pulled it right then and there. They were very nice and informative. read more

I love Dr.Swanson and his staff.Everyone is so nice.Dr.Swanson call's after every appointment to make sure I'm doing okay.He explains everything in detail and makes me feel comfortable.Also a shout out to Jenny at the front desk she's amazing!!! read more

I have been going to this dental office for many years, even before it became Dr. Swanson's office. I am very pleased that Dr. Swanson has joined the team. He is very personable and thorough with his exams. Going to the dentist is usually a not so pleasurable experience, but it's very refreshing to be in an office where a therapeutic relationship is built between the patient, Doctor and staff. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Swanson and his team they are simply the best. I have had many Dentists through the course of my implant ordeal. It has been over 4 years of living without a front tooth because of the orthodontics and surgeries. I have been highly skeptical that I could ever get through it. Dr. Swanson, as was mentioned in other reviews is just simply wonderful he takes the time to explain everything in detail about what the next course of action is. My focus was on the tooth, his focus was the overall health of my mouth and the other teeth that have been neglected. More importantly, he concerns himself with your well being. He takes the time to call you personally before and after procedures just to check up on how you're doing. I am so relieved I found Dr. Swanson Dental Group and friends tell me I'm smiling more. read more

Dr. Swanson gives the best shots ever. I'm so afraid of needles and I didn't even feel it.

Dr. Swanson is an awesome dentist. It's great to see a young professional taking an entrepreneurial mindset in the medical field and also demonstrate the skills and techniques to support a higher level of practice. The office is extremely friendly and approachable. The staff makes me laugh every time I go and adds that personal touch that you cannot replicate. It's always an enjoyable experience and and I highly recommend Dr. Swanson! read more

I moved to Reno about 10 years ago. Finding a new dentist wasn't easy. I came from a small town where all my doctors and dentists were so personable and the process was so familiar and welcoming. When I first had to find a new dentist it was so hard as the few I had tried treated me like another number. Then I met Dr. Swanson and his staff. They are extremely personable, helpful and professional. What more could you want! They treat you like family while still keeping a professional environment. It's really refreshing to see there is a dentist that still takes the time to get to know his patients. I would recommend Dr. Swanson to anyone. read more

I even made an appointment to be seen again it good to find someone you can trust ,I just moved from California and was not looking forward to a new dentist but not I'm going to make this place my number 1 for all my dental work and care. read more

I've been going to Dr. Swanson since he opened. Dr. Swanson is patient, gentle, and very detail oriented. The staff is honest, professional, and kind. It isn't like the big "McDentist" outfits where they make you feel like a bank account with teeth. I trust Swanson Dental Group; that's what I need when I'm in "the chair". read more

I have always been terrified of going to the dentist but ever since I started going to Dr. Swanson's office that fear is no longer present. My biggest fear was the dreaded shots. I hate needles but Dr. Swanson is always so gentle and understanding and I never even feel the injections. He always listens to my concerns, addresses them and finds a solution. I'm very pleased with him and, of course, his even more incredible staff. Thank you Dr. Swanson and team for allowing me to finally feel at ease at a place that I grew up dreading going to. Gloria C. read more

The short: I have never had a bad dental experience, but this was the first amazing experience I have had. From setting up my appointment Dr. Swanson called me the night before and left a detailed message of the plan for the following day. From the beginning of my visit (I made 3 in one day, x-ray, hygenist, and a cavity filling) to the end of my visit my comfort was always priority. Dr. Swanson explained everything he saw on my x-rays, talked about the course of action and asked for my input at every point. My cavity filling went by quickly and easily, and afterwards had me check for any irregularities and when mentioning there was a small piece he gladly rechecked, removed the small piece easily and i was on my way. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Going to the dentist is not fun! Lets get that out of the way from the top. However, this place is great! We've been clients of Dr. Swanson since he took over for Dr. Peri (whom we were with for decades) and I can tell you you will not find a better dental office anywhere! The staff is wonderful, the work performed is gentle and correct and the fees are reasonable. It is a very pleasant place to be while one is waiting to see someone. The waiting room is comfy and inviting. Everyone is friendly, professional, and exceedingly competent at what they do. We wondered if we'd stay after Joe left, but I can say now that it has been a pleasure to be clients of this establishment. We're glad we stayed on. If you need dental work or are looking for a new family dentistry look no further. As I said at the top: Going to the dentist is no fun, but I actually look forward to going to this one! I would give ten stars if it were possible. read more

I'm a new patient to Dr. Garrett Swanson, DMD but not to this office. As a self referred patient, I elected to return to this office based on my former experience with the friendly and efficient staff headed by Jenni, the Office Manager. Dr. Swanson has demonstrated his thoroughness to both me and my spouse of 54 years! The Office has the state of the art technology, but the best part of my visits has been Dr. Swanson's chairside manner of care along with the confidence he instills. read more

Dr. Swanson is the most amazing dentist! He is honest and conservative. He doesn't pressure you into getting multiple or unnecessary treatments. Dr. Swanson explains everything in detail. I felt like I had a good understanding of what he was doing and why. Also, I'm a total weirdo when it comes to needles, and Dr. Swanson was very accommodating. I couldn't believe how easy it was (for me anyway) to get some fillings done today! I was dreading it and extremely nervous, but Dr. Swanson made the whole experience comfortable and even pleasant! A good dentist is hard to find in Reno. I'm glad I found Dr. Swanson! read more

I am established with another dentist in town. However, when I suddenly developed a painful condition of my gums and mouth, and my dentist was out of town for the week. I was referred by my dental office to Swanson Dental Group. They were able to not only get me in same day, but within the hour! Everyone in the office was so welcoming, kind, and helpful. Dr. Swanson treated me with compassion and gentleness evaluating my painful mouth and was able to prescribe me something to help with the pain! To top it off, Dr. Swanson himself called me the next day to make sure I was able to get my prescription and that I was doing okay. They definitely went above and beyond and I'm so grateful my dentist works closely with this office because I know I'm in good hands here! read more

Great place to go. The dentist is nice and friendly and very caring . The receptionists are very nice and funny but very professional. Prices and fair. read more

Swanson Dental Group is just amazing! I woke up on a Friday morning with a very painful tooth and my "normal" Dentist could not see me until the following week! Panicked by the thought of an entire weekend filled with pain.... I took to google and searched all local Dentist Offices! I must have called 15 different Dental Offices and always got the same answer, "No available appointments!" I was so relieved when I finally found a last second appointment with Swanson Dental Group! They got me in only 30 minuets after my call to them! The staff is amazing and friendly and so welcoming! I am so very pleased with Dr. Swanson and his wonderful staff I am happy to now call them my "normal" Dentist! Hands down the best experience with a Dentist in the Reno/Sparks area (I know, I know....who actually enjoys going to the Dentist?) I will definitely be recommending Swanson Dental Group to all my friends and family from now on! Thank you Dr. Swanson and top notch staff! read more

Dr. swanson and his team are extremely professional and excellent at what they do. I feel comfortable and at ease every time I come in. I highly recommend Dr. Swanson Dental Group to anyone who is looking for a new dentist or just needs dental work. read more
