We were on vacation and my wife was in a lot of pain from a bad root canal from years ago. The practice made room for us on such short notice and took very good care of her. She went back the next day just prior to our flight to get numbed very very accommodating. Very professional and good people Highly recommend them. read more

I have used two other dental offices in the past who did great work but were so expensive I didn't go back, and it always took me a long time to get an appointment. I took a chance on Elk Ridge Dental and they fit me in for a cleaning and xrays for the following day. Okay, it's off season but I was thrilled. They not only did an excellent job but offered me a discount they haven't offered in the paper for a month . They also informed me of further work I needed and were totally upfront about how much it would cost. I will use them again. read more

I came to Jackson Hole for a ski trip and ended up having a dental emergency! Thank God for Elkridge Dentists who gave me a same day appointment to fix my crown. They were friendly, caring and did a great job in 20-30 minutes so I can be on my way eating my favorite foods on vacation. Thank you, thank you for taking care of me!! I wish I lived in Jackson so they could be my dentists! read more

Just over two weeks before the end of my seasonal job in Jackson, I developed a toothache. I did some research and decided to contact 2 local dentists. Elk Ridge Dental was prompt to return my call; I never heard from the other. After explaining my situation to Gloria on the phone, she made me an appt for the next day. I saw Dr. Espinoza, who after discussing my symptoms and a little of my dental history and reviewing my x-ray, concluded in her exam that perhaps a small spot of decay that didn't even show on the e-xray was the culprit and recommended a filling. I really thought my pain was far beyond a bit of surface decay, but she is the dr...and I got the filling. I asked her about prescribing antibiotics, and she said we should wait to see if the filling alleviated the pain. By the time the anesthetic wore off, I knew the original issue not only remained but the pain was increasing. I called the office the next day (a Friday) and the soonest appt was Monday morning. The weekend was filled with bouts that were reminiscent of having labor pains in my jaw! On Monday morning, needless to say, Dr. Espinoza quickly agreed that the little cavity she'd filled was not the "root" of my problem (as I had suspected) and said a root canal was in order. She then prescribed antibiotics and pain meds, I paid for another office visit, and left their office entertaining visions of a pending root canal in my future. The soonest root canal appt they could get me was 8/19...I was leaving for home 8/21... In the mean time, I contacted my long-time dentist at home, explained the situation, and decided to hold off on the procedure till I was back there since it was a difference of just a few days. I stopped into the office one morning this week to ask them to cancel the root canal appt for me, and to express my unhappiness with the diagnosis I had originally received. Neda and Gloria were both very receptive and understanding of my situation....an inaccurate diagnosis of my original complaint, a procedure that was most likely not necessary, the pain from the infection that would not have escalated had it not gone untreated for 3 more days, and the fact that I had paid a 2nd office visit fee to come and tell them the first diagnosis was wrong. Gloria's offer of a monetary solution was immediate and even more than I had expected to "right" the situation. Both ladies thanked me for being candid and expressed that this information was important to Dr. Galbraith. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome, despite the big hiccup and 3 days of unnecessary pain. Overall, if I could rate the business separately from the doctor's diagnosis, I'd give 5 stars. I thought the fees were reasonable. All of the staff, both front and back office, that I encountered were very friendly and professional. I just think that Dr. Espinoza needs a little more experience under her belt before I would be confident with her treating me again, and because of that could only give her 2 stars if rating the doctor separately. read more
