He also…read morehad to give me more Novocain as he either wasn't overly experienced in extractions or a "just bare along with the pain" while I'm inconvenienced to have to give you more. Now, I've ran into these no prescribed medications dentists twice before where the first instance was a low cost, county subsidized, no insurance type dentist. I had no insurance when I worked very briefly at a crappy job, and this is who the county recommended. Now I may look like a tall, big, strong man, but I am not pain resistant. In this particular "dentist" case, he seemed like his last job was at a prison. At another major dental provider with many offices around town that does take insurance, you had to ask him if he was in trouble with the state and not authorized to prescribe. I'm a senior with bad gums so I've had extractions starting with wisdom teeth at 19 then the gum problems that started at 45. You're in pain and traumatized, it shouldn't be a negotiation. But this clinic, I thought, was allegedly a topflight, insurance only type of office. I went to a different dentist office later for more pulls and the pain meds were automatically prescribed without asking. Sorry, Advantage. You've lost a customer forever and I would never recommend them if anything painful like a tooth extraction was necessary. For just cleanings and checkups, they seem okay.

Their business practice at all locations is to never answer their phone. They also booked out 6…read moremonths in advance so there are never any appts available. Update: Front desk person said they are too busy to answer every call. STOP TAKING NEW PATIENTS THEN!!! You just lost a patient. I will be reporting you to the Oregon State Dental Board and I suggest others do the same. This place NEVER answers their phone. I have been in agony for weeks after a dentist here tried to do a filling. Five calls in the last five days and not once have they answered the phone. If you have so many patients that you can't bother to answer the phone, it's not ethical for you to continue to take on new patients. And I see from other complaints that this has been the way you operate for a very long time and are refusing to do anything about it.

I needed a new dentist and wanted a cleaning, so I chose this one. My first appointment included a…read morecomplete set of x-rays and a thorough exam. But most of the time was spent walking me through the $13,000 worth of dental care they claimed I needed, with the x-rays used as 'evidence". They recommended a 3-session "Deep Cleaning" that costs over $3,000, and five crowns. I have no insurance, so when I asked which crown was most urgent, the response was that all were equally urgent. Though merely "preventative." I requested a regular cleaning instead of the "Deep Cleaning" and they REFUSED to give me one. After previously telling me that would be part of this first visit. I've always had regular dental care from qualified professionals who always assured me that care options were my choice. And they all had the philosophy, "If it's stable, don't mess with it." It's very interesting that my previous dentist saw me 6 months ago and mentioned NONE of these problems. This leads me to the" conclusion that Gentle Dental is just trying to make a lot of money by urging unneeded treatments. My son looked them up on a consumer watchdog website and the vast majority of the comments said that very thing. Our bad for investing $100 in their "smile plan" up front. But I guess that's a small price to pay to find out that we need a different dentist. Gentle Dental, you're fired!

When I…read moregot there the receptionist was wonderful the whole team, made me feel welcome and not judged. Dr. Daniel Nguyen did a great job with my cleaning and then I came back for a crown in a day. It went really well. I think Dr. Daniel is a bit of a perfectionist, he worked on it until it felt perfect. (exactly what you want in a dentist.) Overall everybody there was wonderful and I left there feeling good about the whole experience .

After calling several dental offices to check out pricing because I don't have dental insurance, I…read moredecided to come here for an exam, Xrays and dental cleaning because they offered a discount program. The receptionist went over the cost with me and said I wasn't obligated to join if I didn't want to. I decided to wait to see how my exam would go and decide afterwards. Dr. Daniel Nguyen sat down with me to go over any concerns I might have answering my questions and offering insights. He was polite and soft spoken and appeared interested in my issues. After my x-rays and exam, he went over my dental charts with me to show me what needed to be done. After my exam, because it was so thorough, I decided to opt in for the program which I could cancel at anytime. A few days later, I decided to go to another dentist for a second opinion and everything Dr. Daniel said, matched the opinions of the other dentist. As far as pricing, because I don't have insurance, I found that the payment program I opted in for made sense as the other dentist gave me a rundown of costs and would've charged way more. With this in mind I made my second appointment with doctor Nguyen to have the crown and fillings that were needed. He was gentle and methodical and did not rush the process. I had no problem with the crown that he put on my back molar. A few weeks later I went for another issue which he fixed. I highly recommend this dental office as the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the office is clean and tidy, and Dr. Daniel really makes you feel relaxed and safe.
