When you don’t have anything good to say , it’s best not to say anything at all.
What I will say is everything seemed alright through the whole procedure of replacing a crown and the staff were nice and polite for the most part.
Only after going home and taking a close look did I discover the crown did not fit the margin on the far side of the crown and there was a gaping difference between the crown and the margin. Within a couple weeks the crown came off while flossing and my insurance was close to the limit after he was paid . Now I’ll have to pay out of pocket to have another Dentist

Dr. Folden is amazing. He has the best bedside manor and if you have to have a shot...he is the magical shot giver. I did not feel a single thing when he did it. He is professional, friendly, thorough and works with you to ensure that you are both relaxed and have a good experience, or at least as good of an experience that you can have at a dentist. Seriously, I cannot say enough about his personality as a doctor. I have anxiety normally at a dentist office, but NOT with him. He really cares and makes you laugh.
His whole team is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend their office.

I am new to the area and found Dr. Bell by searching local dentist. My initial visit was one of my best experiences I have ever had at a dentist. The entire staff is extremely friendly. I unfortunately had a cavity but Dr. Bell was able to fill it during my visit. I never felt the shot and Dr. Bell was very quick. I went back for a cleaning and had an equally pleasant experience. The hygienist was super friendly, gentle, and my teeth looked and felt great. I highly recommend Dr. Bell and the entire staff at Dr. Lee's practice.

We had been searching for a dentist to pull two teeth , but they had all said that since I was a teen they wouldn’t pull them. We went into Dr. Lee’s office and without hesitation he said that pulling it was the right move. Dr. Bell did an amazing job pulling them, and I would definitely recommend their office.

Love Dr Lee and staff! They are all kind, professional, and easy to work with. You won't regret coming here. I'm one of those *weird* people who actually like the dentist, even though I've had horrible past experiences in other offices. We've been coming here for almost 5 years and we have no complaints! Dr Lee finally fixed my "tooth from hell" so happy!!!

I have been seeing him for years. Never felt an injection. Have had crowns , fillings, permanent partials and never had pain. Very caring staff and always accomodating. My husband got braces at age 50. His teeth were beautiful. Always leave with a SMILE.

This place is amazing! As a nervous patient in the past, I can say that everyone who works here puts me at ease. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. You can tell things are run efficiently because you never have to wait. (A blessing to a mom with a small child!) I was very impressed with Dr. Bell and also the technology. A crown in one day! (Again, huge blessing to a mom with a small child!) This team of people seem to love what they do and love their patients. And I appreciate that greatly!

Thank you to everyone here!

I presented Dr. Bell a difficult extraction - it was a failed root canal (from another dentist ) and the tooth could not be saved. I never felt a thing during the extraction. He was amazingly gentle given the tooth was quite difficult to remove.
He next prepared the site for an implant-- all went amazingly well- no pain and no complications. Dr. Bell was very attentive, he followed up regularly to make sure I was doing OK through out the process.
I now have a great implant and have all the function of the original tooth. I highly recommend Dr Bell and the entire office staff. All were very friendly

I was absolutely terrified of Dentists' for over 20 years. You could certainly tell that about me whenever I opened my mouth. After hearing so many great things about Dr Lee, Dr Bell and the entire staff I decided to try one more dental office visit. This has to be the kindest, most patient and knowledgeable dental practice anywhere. I needed so much to be done to my teeth due to years of fear and neglect. Dr Lee explained all of the different options and prices that were available for me. He and his entire staff made me feel so welcome, comfortable and relaxed. I knew after the first visit that

I have had a fear of dentists for 20 years. Upon a reccomendation I made an appt. The office is very tranquil & relaxing. No loud drill sounds, no smell of burning teeth & the smallest needles Ive ever seen. You can also request nitrious oxide. When you inhale that, your worries, fears & anxiety are gone. I did not even remember what they did. When you stop breathing it in you are perfectly able to drive. Dr Lee is so sweet & caring. Day or night you can reach him and he will always help you, even on a Sunday. I can not say enough good things about the entire staff. I now actually
