I have super severe dentist anxiety. I will go super far out of my way to avoid going to the…read moredentist. But one day I finally succumbed to my fate and made an appointment. I dreaded it for DAYS but when the moment finally came, I was stressed out yes, but the staff were super nice and friendly and I was eligible for gas which lessened my anxiety by A LOT. Also they always kept me in the loop as to what they were doing and I was never belittled or made to feel like I was an awful person (I am super self-conscious about my teeth) and they actually made a plan with me for future appointments. 100/10, the best dental experience I've ever had and they are GREAT with dental anxiety. Will definitely be going back. My only critique is the office in Lawrence is a liiiiittle difficult to spot if you don't know what you're looking for. But I'd say it's worth it.

I have pretty good teeth and actually enjoy going to the dentist, so I feel I should disclose that!…read moreBut I really like this place! I've seen both Dr. Valbuena and Dr. Joice (husband and wife dental team) and I like them both. I've been in for cleanings/x-rays as well as to get some cavities filed (the first and only time I've had cavities filled as an adult). The staff is friendly and efficient, I never have to wait long. They have a TV set up so you can watch something while they mess with your mouth. A nice perk, but unfortunately daytime TV lacks in content!! I also really appreciate that they DON'T chit chat with you while doing a cleaning. There is nothing more annoying at the dentist than having someone ask you questions that you can only respond to with an "AHHNNG YAHHHD". My barometer for dentists is whether or not they tell me I need my wisdom teeth out. I have all four and they fit in my mouth just fine. In the past, some dentists have told me that I should "preemptively" remove them which seems like a scam to me. But Drs. V and J asked if I wanted them out and when I said "no" they said that there is no reason to unless I wanted them out. I appreciate that honesty! They do things electronically, which I prefer. You can book your appointment online and they email you reminders. They also emailed me copies of my x-rays after I had them done (I asked for them), I like to know what I look like inside! My only complaint is that once one of the dental assistants (I don't remember her name) told me I should remove my wisdom teeth because she hates cleaning them. A completely unacceptable and unprofessional thing to say, right? But the dentists disagree, so it doesn't matter.

After a hiatus from Dr.Bridenstein, I called and made two appointments, I did not know about Dr.Boldry until they put myself and daughter into cancellation appointments so we got in sooner. But they FAILED TO MENTION, NOT IN NETWORK. My insurance covers cleanings and X-rays twice a year. Why would I request someone I would have to be OUT OF POCKET FOR? Nope, sure wouldn't Couple of months later I get the $92.55 bill. Beware, they are SCANDALOUS! Now, they have lost three clients. Way to go Debbie!

The RDHs are always friendly and go out of their way to make our visits comfortable, whether offering pillows, blankets, specific flavors of tooth polish or a movie to help take our minds off dental matters. The ladies at the desk up front who deal with the business side always make our insurance coverage easy to understand even when I've forgotten some of the details I should know in advance. They make every effort to check on prices of services when I ask, and they can help set up payment plans if needed. They are kind and considerate when I need to reschedule an appointment, and they always welcome my family when we enter the office. Likewise, Dr. Bridenstine makes every effort to be sure dental services are stellar. We have always had a positive experience with his sedation dentistry, and he provides a thorough explanation of options when available. We have only experienced excellence in his work, and we have appreciated how he goes above and beyond to create a positive outcome for his patients. A couple of years ago, I returned to his office two extra times at no charge just so he could alleviate some discomfort I had after a filling needed to be filed a little more delicately. While I was numb, I hadn't noticed. Yet, he made it right a second time even after I wasn't sure about it the first time I returned. Now, that's patience for your patient! All the staff members work diligently to make dental visits pleasant. I have always appreciated their use of soft, professional voices via individual headsets to prioritize communication and timeliness while maintaining privacy. The entire practice operates in a well-orchestrated manner while each employee treats one another with respect and kindness. They have created a culture of team effort that works for the good of the patient, and I highly recommend their dentistry practice.

After a five minute wait my name was called and I was on my way back to my yearly checkup. Ashlie was my dental assistant and I was able to get a few questions in when her hand wasn't busy inside my mouth. Ashlei does hair as well and has a passion for good dental hygiene because she wore braces twice, and I had them once as well. Dr. Christine wasted no time getting in the chair after my X-rays were finished and deep cleaned in between my teeth. We were able to chat about the origin of my new last name and the current events that have recently turned all of our lives upside down. I'm sure my previous review was fueled from emotion and things going unexpectedly, but this visit has been the best one yet! I really appreciate the staff minimizing customer contact and being attentive to my needs by making notes for next time so it's even more comfortable. This has been and will be the only place I come for all my dental needs. Thank you Gentle Denistry team for always taking care of me, even at times I did not deserve it.

Following a very traumatic experience with my former dentist, I'm embarrassed to admit that, up…read moreuntil December, it had been at least 5 years since I'd been to the dentist. I take care of my teeth (ok, ok, I don't floss), but I haven't been maintaining them because I was afraid to go back to the dentist -- any dentist. Add to that the fact that I apparently am incapable of picking up a phone and calling to make an appointment, and things were getting rough. Turns out not ONLY is Dr. Carol Akers and the team members at her practice, In Harmony Dental Care, able and willing to communicate via text message, email or phone (whatever works for you), they're also all kind, responsive, courteous, bi-lingual, and just generally pretty amazing. My first visit in December was for a cleaning and check-up. First impressions: clean, comfortable office; state-of-the-art equipment; friendly staff; good, calming music playing; and they paid attention. Before m hygienist brought Dr. Akers in, I had told her that I had a bad experience previously. When Dr. Akers came into the room, she asked about it, validated my concerns, and talked about how we could communicate and work with one another to make sure I always felt safe. Following the exam, it was evident that the 5 years away from regular check-ups had taken their toll (the pain in my mouth had kinda hinted at that). Dr. Akers explained everything I needed to have done and ballparked me an overall cost, but scheduled a brief consult follow-up so that she could work up a full plan to review with me. A week later we met in the office and she reviewed my entire prioritized care plan (can't wait, can wait, let's keep an eye on this) and the estimated price and then we compared that against my dental insurance and my financial situation and adjusted so that we could be sure that I maximized my annual dental plan and minimized my out of pocket cost. We've started working on the plan and every visit has been almost completely pain free and, believe it or not, relaxing. She hums when she works and I always giggle a little and she apologizes. With my mouth full of stuff, I try to assure her that my giggles are in appreciation of the calming that her sweet hums provide. When she can't find another tune to catch her fancy, she turns to Christmas carols. And I love it. I had a lot of visits between December and February, but now I'm done with my work for a bit. Not gonna lie, when I was leaving after my last visit, I felt a little sad and knew that I was going to miss Dr. Akers and her team until I get to come back in for my next cleaning. They take every precaution to ensure the office is safe during the pandemic, including wearing ALL the PPE and having the office thoroughly disinfected every night. If you have dental anxiety, want to be treated with consideration and compassion, and want your mouth to feel healthy again, please go see Dr. Akers and her team. You'll be glad you did.
