The office and treatment areas are attractive and spotless. The staff are professional and the cleaning process was painless. The x-ray process was rapid as well. Dr. Willis did a thorough examination. I appreciate the thoughtful and kind manner in which everyone treats patients.

I had my first appointment with Willis Dental the other day and they've already made me feel like a valued, long-term client. From the moment I stepped in the door I was treated with courtesy and kindness. Many thanks to Stacey, and Dr. Nelson and his assistant for a wonderful experience.

I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed Friday. Dr. Nelson and his assistant were incredibly gentle and made me as comfortable as they possibly could for what was a rather difficult procedure. (my wisdom teeth did not want to come out and it was a about a 3 hour ordeal lol). I could not be happier with them, especially due to the circumstances.
Dr. Nelson is great and I highly recommended Willis Dental. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. It’s such a relief to finally have a great dental office to go to.

I had an excellent experience at Willis dental yesterday. I know, at a dentist? But seriously, the staff was friendly, courteous, and competent, and I did not have to wait in the lounge at all. Dr. Willis himself was very friendly and upbeat and promptly performed a minor repair of a tooth I had been neglecting. He also corrected an annoying issue on a tooth/gum line that had become sensitive. I am grateful for receiving professional dentistry at a very reasonable price.

Absolutely love this Dentistry & the all the staff there! They are all so courteous & make you feel so comfortable, they genuinely care about your smile!! Super nice facility, very sterile. I’ve been going to Ally for my teeth cleanings for years now, she is the best & I adore her. I used to be a pt at State Street Dental & it received awful care so I appreciate my new Dr for being genuine.

Thanks for always making me feel as comfortable as possible there! (I’m a big baby about the drilling) Thanks for being understanding of me wanting to wear my headphones throughout the process. It really did help. Great team here! 🤗

I went in to Willis dental because I had broken one of my wisdom teeth and I needed to have it pulled. I’ve avoided dental work like the plague because of anxiety but Dr Willis was incredibly patient with me. He made pulling my wisdom teeth a painless and less stressful process. Through the procedure he checked in with me to make sure I was okay… and wasn’t frustrated by my fidgeting at all. I can’t erase my dental anxiety but I can say that after my experience with this office, I will feel a lot better communicating my needs and staying on top of oral health.
