After a recommendation to get an implant to replace my broken tooth, I asked Dr. Black for a 2nd opinion, who thought he could save the tooth. Sure enough, in about 3 hours, they prepared my tooth, made the crown, repaired 3 additional areas of decay with fillings, and cemented the crown into my mouth. NO FURTHER VISITS necessary. All in ONE SHOT! They've got a cool machine that mills the crown from a block of porcelain and a kiln that hardens it on site. Easy peasy. I now have a new "tooth" that feels and behaves like the real thing. Dr. Black tells me that it won't last forever, I'm not yet 50 after all, but I'm thrilled to be using as much of my "original parts" as possible! I was given a clear understanding of the pain I could expect both during and after the procedure. But, honestly, there's been very little pain. The rest of the experience was great. The office is very comfortable and classy. The mirror in the bathroom even told me I looked "fantastic". Seriously. Dr. Black's assistant/partner Tina was fantastic. They've clearly worked together a long time and communicate well with each other. Tina even understood what I tried to say with a mouth full of instruments. She also made sure I was comfortable with a cozy blanket over my lap, an extra adjustment of the head rest, etc. They also clearly stay up on the latest and greatest in dental care. When I was in the office, I overheard them explain the cool crown-making machine to another dentist who was visiting. They've clearly gone above and beyond when it comes to understanding and using their equipment. Five Stars, you bet!!! read more

I'm a rather new patient with Timberhill Dental, and I must say, I was blown away. I made an appointment (I filled it out online), and was impressed by the communication with the office staff, who even reminded me of my appointment a day or so before. It was a little while since I had my last cleaning, and I went in fearing a long lecture about dental health. Not here! I went into a bright, clean, happy office with super friendly staff who checked me in. As I was taken away to get my cleaning done, I couldn't help but notice the plate of fresh cookies sitting out for patients (Are you kidding me? That's awesome!) My hygienist was friendly and took the time to answer questions for me. She also checked up often to make sure that I was very comfortable. Very professional. Later, Dr. Black came in and checked things out, and he took all of the time needed to talk about details and come up with a plan of action. He was very professional and kind, and I never once had the impression that he was rushed and trying to get to the next patient. Their technology is modern, and I had a clear view of my x-rays minutes after being taken on a large monitor in front of me. Upon leaving, I was offered a frappacino coffee drink and a cookie. I can say I've never been to a dentist that touched this place before. I've found a new home. And don't even get me started on the Tailgater party that this business holds for all of their patients. It is rare for a business to treat their customers (or patients) so well. Give this business a try and be amazed. read more

My husband and 3 children have been patients of Dr Black for over 5 years. He is an excellent dentist, he is a perfectionist, and I think my teeth look great. The thing I appreciate most about being a patient of Dr. Black's is the gold standard customer service. He calls after dental work to check on us. We get personal thank your cards from all the staff members hand signed. The office has a spa like atmosphere: the fabulous receptionist serves coffee from an Italian Espresso Maker, they have warm chocolate chip cookies daily, the office is spotlessly clean, and everyone there from the office manager, to the hygienists to dental assistants are excellent, friendly and care about their patients. I never wait more than 5 minutes but if I do wait, they have all the latest magazines, you can unwind and sip a cappacino. I especially appreciate the hand written card with stickers, the staff sent my daughter when she was in the hospital, (she was 4). I forgot to mention that when I get my teeth cleaned, the hygienist gives me a hot wax hand treatment. The equipment is high tech, you can watch tv while Dr Black is working on my teeth. I wouldn't go to anyone else. This is an exceptional team; emphasis on team. I also appreciate the fact that the entire practice goes on trips to third world countries to volunteer free dental care as a mission. read more

Three years ago my family and I moved into the Corvallis area and began going to Dr. Black"s office right away. I needed a tooth removed and a bridge made to replace the unviable tooth or so I thought; Dr. Black came up with a treatment plan that aloud for my tooth to be kept and bonus, his treatment plan cost less and looks better. If this isn't enough to sell you I pay no more to see Dr. Black and his awesome staff, but I get fruit infused water while I wait, paraffin wax on my hands during appointments, the smell of fresh backed cookies in the room all of this spa treatment done just to make you feel relaxed. I do love the spa treatment but I love even more the way I feel like I am the only patient Dr. Black has when I come in. Yesterday I got a crown and two fillings done in the office and not only were they able to make the crown from start to finish while I was in the office but it is beautiful and feels great. Also Dr. Black himself called to check on me later in the day. I know how busy he is and yet he takes the time to care about each patient in his care. He is not only the best dentist I have ever had the pleasure to see but he surrounds himself with the best staff from front office to back room. If you want the best dental care Corvallis has to offer Call Dr. Black right away. read more

I've been Dr. Black's patient since he bought the practice from Dr. Paul many, many years ago. I appreciate his 'patient-centered' approach to dentistry, a value that characterizes every aspect of his office and staff. I always feel catered to at Timberhill Dental. The office decor is anything but sterile/clinical ... it feels like a soothing spa. I appreciate the offer of a paraffin wax hand treatment to start my visit and the soothing warm face towel at the end of a visit. I've experienced gentle routine care in Dr. Black's office including cleaning and x-rays provided by friendly and competent hygiene staff. I've also had several porcelain or gold crowns completed with no lingering problems or pain. Dr. Black also offers cosmetic services including teeth whitening which I've not experienced. One final comment - I appreciate the front office staff's kind efficiency and competency. They are always helpful both in person and via phone. Going to the dentist was a nightmare for me as a child, but in writing this review I realize that I don't mind dental visits at all anymore! Thanks to Dr. Black, Dr. Paul and the many dentists like them a dental visit can almost be fun! Oh, and don't forget the fresh-baked cookie when you leave! read more

I started coming to Timberhill dental when I first moved to Corvallis 8 years ago and, even though I moved to Portland several years ago, I still make the trip down. Dr. Black is very talented, and I have been very pleased with the work I've had done. He does a great job explaining all the work he does each visit. Instead of simply "getting the job done," I feel he is also quite the artist when it comes to shaping my fillings and other procedures that make my bite feel great. The facilities and instruments are state-of-the-art, the atmosphere is welcoming, and I love the little free chapsticks. The primary reason I continue coming back is the people. It really feels like family around the office. Everyone is so friendly, and they all know who you are. Anne has been my hygienist for most of my time going there, and we've gotten to know each other quite well over the years. The visits are always filled with laughter and catching up. I always have a great experience with Timberhill and highly recommend it. read more

Dr. Black and his staff are AWESOME! Dr. Black is a great clinician (this I know from my childhood dentist that recently took a look in my mouth) and I always feel like he has my best interests at heart. And his staff is so friendly, they all have a great sense of humor and it's actually fun to go to the dentist. The great coffee, cookies and complimentary hand wax dip add to the feeling of being at a spa. Dr. Black is known around Corvallis for his great community service (ex. free mouth guards to all the high school football players) and they also throw a great swim party and huge Beaver tailgate party for ALL of their patients. I highly recommend this office. read more

Dr Black and his team of professionals make it a pleasure to go to the dentist! Dr Black is terrific dentist with an emphasis on patient comfort. He uses all of the latest technology as well as a professional staff to insure that your visit is as painless as possible. I have had a siginificant amount of work done by Dr. Black and am very confident that I have had excellent care. The office is sparkling clean, the staff is very cordial and friendly and a pleasure to work with. A fun little perk is that they offer a hot wax treatment for your hands during your visit! I would highly recommend Dr Black and his staff for your dental needs. Cheri Filker read more

I used to always have anxiety about going to the dentist, but that is no longer an issue. I always look forward to seeing Dr. Black and his great staff. I have been with Timberhill Dental for nearly 10 years, and they really are an extraordinary practice. From their beautiful office, to their friendliness, their spa-like extras, their attention to detail in estimates and dealing with billing insurance, to their great client parties, this practice goes the extra mile and it's actually fun to be one of their patients. Dr. Black does great work. My experience has been pain free, and I've never had any complications. I highly recommend. read more

When it comes to dental work I have some serious anxiety, so I am always thankful for the calming, spa-like atmosphere of Timberhill Dental. Dr. Black's staff are the best, throughout every step of the process. Timberhill Dental uses the most modern, state-of-the-art equipment available in dentistry. They offer paraffin wax hand treatments to relax you while you get your teeth cleaned. They will walk you through the insurance process and show you what exactly is covered and what is not. Best of all, his staff are so friendly and fun to talk to. Dr. Black's office is as good as it gets! read more

Love my dentist! Going to the dentist has never been my favorite thing to do but I actually look forward to seeing Dr. Black and his amazing staff. Sarah cleans my teeth, Dr. Black has put some amazing crowns in my mouth (in one visit...my boss loved that because I didn't have to miss as much work) and Jackie at the front desk always makes be feel so welcome and calm. I think he is a little more expensive than other dentists...but like my Dad always told me...you get what you pay for. I like my teeth and would like to keep them for a long time. Awesome place. read more

Great service, with expert, quality care, delivered with a smile. Great dental service can be hard to come by. I'm glad I found Dr. Black and his team. They are easy to work with from scheduling to dental health questions. I would recommend Dr. Black if you are looking for a new dentist. I've been going to his office for several years now and wish I had decided to earlier. My previous office was too big and the dentists rotated so you never got the same one. Dr. Black is caring and very thorough - an expert. read more

I highly recommend this office. From the moment I walk in the door I know I'm going to be taken care of. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and Dr. Black is top-notch. He's very caring and up on the latest technology. My hygientist is great (I've been seeing the same one for 10 years and I appreciate the continuity of care). I also take my kids to see Dr. Black and they look forward to their visits (as do I). I highly recommend this office. read more

The Timberhill Dental "family" always treat me with the greatest respect, gentleness in touch and compassionate care. They are very professional and personable at the same time. They make me feel like I'm part of their family and I enjoy seeing them on my regular visits. I know I can trust them to give me accurate information so I can make knowledgeable decisions about my dental care. I recommend them to everybody. Thank you for being there for me! read more

Love Love Love Timberhill Dental! I've been to a few dentists in town and I will never go anywhere else. The experience is more spa like and less medical. My hygienist talks to me instead of asking me a bunch of questions while their hands are in my mouth. Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable. They will let you know up front what you will owe before the procedures so it isn't a big surprise. Thanks for taking great care of my oral health! read more

Our family has gone to Dr. Black for years and we are all thrilled with him and the entire office staff. In fact, this morning I looked at the calendar and told the kids that they have dentist appointments coming up. They cheered. For real. As a mom, I appreciate that my kids feel comfortable with going to the dentist so that they develop healthy lifelong habits. I know that we are all getting top notch care from Dr. Black. read more

Dr. Black is outstanding. I've gone to him for more than 15 years and he's done some major oral surgery - all without pain during the procedures or discomfort afterwards. He stays up on the latest preventative dental measures. He and his staff are friendly, helpful, and know a lot to help me keep my mouth healthy. I recommend him to anyone wanting a top-notch dentist who is caring, comfortable and very competent. read more

I am a new patient at Timberhill Dental. I have heard great things about Dr. Black and his staff. All of the staff are very friendly, professional, and make you feel comfortable. They make sure you understand what your insurance does and does not cover before you have any work done. Dr. Black took the time to make sure I didn't feel the shots he gave me. I'm not sure why it took so long to switch dentists. read more

Great dentistry! I am a student at Oregon State and from California so I needed to go to a dentist, and I lucked out! GREAT staff and a comfortable, easy going environment. My absolute favorite part was the hand wax dip!! Felt like I was at a spa, but getting my teeth cleaned!! I will definitely be keeping this as my dentist in Oregon and will definitely be recommending it to people. :) read more
