So glad I found Dr. Young. Not only is it super convenient that he's in West Salem and so am I, but…read moreI also love the fact that his prices are reasonable, he doesn't try to up-sell you on things you don't need, and he does very good dental work. Everyone in the entire office is friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home. This is the type of dentist who doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth and have you in fear of going back to the dentist for future visits. I can say without hesitation that Dr. Young is world's better than the last dentist I was seeing in Keizer (Shorview Dental). I also very much appreciate the fact that they can see me on short notice, whereas my dentist in Keizer told me it could be 3-4 months just for an appointment to get a cavity filled (ridiculous). I can't recommend Dr. Young highly enough! If you're looking for the best dentist in Salem, this is it!

The dental team is professional, competent, friendly, caring, and attentive. He works great with little kids all the way up to adults. This is a dental practice for the whole family.

I strongly disagree with any rating less than 5 stars. Period…read more I am about to have my 7th, I think (I've lost count), implant surgery with them. I have had both Hopkins and Kennedy do some cutting. My situation is unique, as I have had no bone for several years before finally having the means to get this done. Due to that, several bone grafts have not worked. Instead of keeping my money and telling me it won't work, they have accommodated me in every possible way. On top of that, they are the best at their respective profession in the state. I would fly back here to finish the job if I had moved out of state. If you need an oral surgery and don't have it completed by these fellas, well, that would be a grave mistake.

I highly recommend this clinic for anyone who may need a dental implant! The staff and doctors are…read moreexcellent. They are super friendly and put me completely at ease. I wish I could give them 20 stars. Everything during the procedure went really smoothly and zero pain. Thank you Dr. Howerton and staff for your excellent work and care. This is the only place I will go in the future for implants. I need two more put in on the other side of my mouth. So after these heal up I will schedule for those to be done at this clinic.

With zero amounts of irony, Dr. Bateman has quite literally changed my life…read more I have been terrified of the dentist since I was eight. To the point where even as I child I was having panic attacks. Every dentist I had treated me like a scared little kid even up until adult hood. So I stopped going. My fillings needed replaced, I had a cracked tooth, I had a cavity or two, and I was letting my mouth go to hell all because of my fear. But then I found this office, and everything changed. Dr. Bateman and his staff treated my anxiety seriously. They offered sedation methods that calmed me down to the point of WANTING to get treatment done. They have been patient, kind, and extremely accommodating. Not only can I eat normally again, but my smile looks better than ever and I have a new confidence I lost for years. If any of this sounds like you and your experiences: don't hesitate. You won't regret your time with this team.
