I Received several notices of a change in the date and time for this first appointment—one for 12/16/25, 12/17/25, 12/18/25, and today. The front desk was very friendly, and I appreciate that. This is my third outside dental clinic authorized by the VA. The first one lasted five or six years. The dentist was retiring; it was an excellent clinic. My next one lasted three or four years, but they dropped the VA for doing their dental appointments; it was also an excellent clinic.nI like the way my teeth were cleaned with the electric tool rather than just with the pick. I hope we can have a good run moving forward. I will express that to the VA to continue.nDr. Jimmie Allen

I was there for the first time today. I liked the attitude of the staff and the doctor. I thank assistant Denis for his professionalism and my doctor who examined me. They offered me treatment options and explained the best course of action. Thank you also to everyone else Aileen.

I have been using GD for over 7 years. The technicians are excellent. Given it is a clinic, there has always been a choice of dentists and the care is therefore expert and convivial. I do check my copay each time. My insurer has been helpful advising ways to be healthy but budget conscious. GD .managers have assisted in that a great deal also.

I have the worst dental phobia. It started as a military child with insensitive dentist to adult dentists I have to prepare at home just to arrive at an appointment. The drill becomes the next obstacle. With a lot of convincing, and decades later, I gave Gentle Dental a chance. Though my anxiety and panic was visible, my earplugs coupled with earphones made my experience tolerable. The first serviceI left me with no pain after cavities filled. Today there were extractions and a partial dental inserted. I’m numb and achy, but I’m confident Gentle Dental was the perfect choice for my dental needs. My Dental Phobia still exist, but the Gentle Dental staff is understanding, treats me with ease and patience and slows down to give me time to catch my breath when my anxiety becomes overwhelming. Dr Merchant, Tech Dennis and Office Manager Aileen are the best!
