"Gentling Dental has been just wonderful in handling my recent dental emergencies and setting up an ongoing dental plan for my needs. Every person I’ve come into contact with there is very professional and does everything they can to make sure you have a good pain free experience. This is a real plus as I’d had bad experiences in my younger years and it makes me very anxious about dental work of any kind. I highly recommend Dr Phil and the rest of the staff at Gentling Dental!"

"We love Gentling Dental Care. We've been seeing our hygienist Karen for many years, and she is both thorough and gentle, and also super nice. My husband and I see different dentists (Dr. Melissa and Dr. Phillip) and both provide excellent care. I've had several caps for cracked teeth and have had sensitive grooves near my gumline filled so I no longer have sensitivity issues. I have been kept comfortable for all procedures, which has relieved any anxiety that I typically would have. We highly recommend."

"I had a wonderful experience during my recent visit. The staff were not only friendly and professional but also genuinely cared about me as both a person and a patient. They consistently take the time to get to know you, your family, and your care needs. Additionally, the services provided were top-notch. Overall, I highly recommend this dental practice to anyone looking for exceptional care."

"I had chipped the corner of my front tooth when I was a kid and had a composite filling that time really took a toll on. So, I got an appointment scheduled to get a new filling! Dr. Melissa and Kristie did a wonderful, efficient, and painless job on my tooth. They matched the color and shape perfectly. You can't even tell I have a filling! Thanks for your great work!"
