Two of my siblings and two of my close friends receive their dental care through Dr. Tanner. They rave about him all the time, so I knew that when I finally worked up the courage to see the dentist, I was going to see him. I’ve had a long time fear of dental procedures, and genuinely thought my loved ones were exaggerating over how much they loved Dr. Tanner. But I was completely wrong! Dr. Tanner is hands down the best dentist I could have ever imagined, let alone have the privilege to have experienced. He was thorough, educational, and efficient. He took the time to assess all of my dental needs in one visit, never rushed, and answered each and every one of my questions to completion. Somehow my follow-up treatment visit was even better! The procedure was painless, and he once again provided excellent education regarding what to expect during the healing process. I recovered well and am now able to enjoy food again. It was genuinely an incredible experience and I will be back regularly!
I went in extremely anxious due to past negative dental experiences, but the care I received completely changed that. I felt nothing but compassion and zero judgment, despite being very insecure about my teeth. A tooth that had caused me daily pain for years was saved with a root canal and crown instead of being pulled, and the result looks completely natural. I’m finally pain-free, confident enough to smile again, and no longer dread the dentist. I’m incredibly grateful to the staff and Dr. Nick Tanner for their exceptional care and highly recommend them. Special shoutout to Crystal as well.
I completed the dental implant with DR Tanner today. Everything went well and exceeded my expectations. I’m blessed to have DR Tanner as my dentist.
EDIT IN RESPONSE TO THEIR REPLY: It wont let me reply to their comment but choosing to literally GASLIGHT ME and my experience by claiming I have the wrong office is insane and another reason to not support this business. Instead of taking accountability, they choose to gaslight. I never said you sent me to collections - I said the first time you made me aware of late payment was a threat to go into collections if i dont pay. My apt was in March and this didnt get resolved until August. DO NOT BOOK HERE - if they make a mistake or treat you poorly they will then choose to gaslight and deny your entire experience instead of take constructive criticism to just do better. Disgusting behavior. -------- ORIGINAL REVIEW: Did not have a good experience here. The dental cleaning I got took a super long time and I wasn't being rinsed/suction at all until a whole half of my mouth was polished. I was pooling in my own saliva the entire time. It was just uncomfortable and felt unprofessional. Insurance was difficult to figure out - I provided the correct information and months after my cleaning kept receiving bills for being uninsured and notices that if I didnt pay I would go into collections. The conversations I had on the phone trying to figure this out I feel were a bit rude and I felt like I was being scammed for money. My insurance carrier had told me they never received anything from the dentist all those months and I had to get my employer/company broker involved to get to a resolution. I was also recommended to get 8 fillings - this didnt feel right especially since at that point my insurance issues were unresolved and they had advised to just do the fillings and handle insurance later. And there was just no way 8 was needed when I had no issues at previous dentist. I did not move forward and got a second opinion at another dentist in the area and they told me at best I needed 2 and they werent that urgent. The new dentist told me they had absolutely no idea where anyone could have gotten 8 even if they were being nitpicky. The doctor himself was extremely kind - so I did appreciate that. But with the reco for unneeded fillings and just overall experience with the cleaning and office staff dealing with insurance - I would not recommend going Here
