Dr. Bowyer is without doubt the greatest dentist around the Vancouver area. I'm a massive wimp. No one really enjoys going to the dentist, they seem to put up with it, but even for me, a simple cleaning still generates anxiety. I won't say a trip to Dr. Bowyer is as fun as going to an amusement park, but it is somewhat enjoyable. His office is comfortable and soothing, like the relaxing atmosphere of a garden and soft music. You can also listen to your iPod if you want to, but I found his music just right for me. The entire point is Dr. Bowyer and his front desk gal, Lisa, are absolutely fabulous, both very knowledgeable and caring. Both of them are very knowledgeable about dental health and sincerely care. Of course, education is a big part of the treatment, and Dr. Bowyer took the time to answer my questions, even for a simple cleaning. Also, I appreciated that Dr. Bowyer wasn't salesly, as some dentists can be. He didn't try to push extra x-rays on me, and let me know the time frame I should treat a tooth with an emerging crack. Even if you you're happy with your current dentist, make an appointment for an exam and cleaning. I bet you'll Dr. Bowyer will leave your current dentist in the dust! read more

About a year ago I moved from SF Bay Area, CA to Vancouver, WA. I was looking for a good local dentist to continue and finalize my implants work I started in California. Dr. Bowyer was recommended by my real estate agent. After an enormous and very detailed work involving bone reconstruction and implants, I finally got my dental work done. Dr. Bowyer takes his job to a different level of dentistry. His work looks like an art rather than just regular dental and/or surgical work. His careful evaluation of the scope of intervention, healing process and pre- and post-surgical treatment is extremely impressive and consistent. His staff is also very well trained and helpful in scheduling, booking, billing and assisting throughout the process. If you are looking for a magic in the dental field, look no further. read more

Dr. Bowyer - Highly Recommended for Dental Implants I'll be having an implant done by Dr. Bowyer, and I can honestly say I'm very picky when it comes to a dentist's qualifications--especially for something as important as an implant. Dr. Bowyer is exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough, and clearly "smart in all things dental." What really sets him apart is his use of state-of-the-art technology and equipment. There's no guessing involved--he plans everything with precision so the implant fits perfectly and the procedure feels confident and exact. He pays close attention to detail, does meticulous work, and takes the time to make sure every step is done the right way. If you're looking for someone who combines advanced implant technology with true skill and precision, I highly recommend Dr. Bowyer. read more

For almost 15 years Dr. Bowyer and his staff have always taken great care of my dental and periodontic issues, and there have been many. Over that time they have always worked with my needs, whatever my current insurance was at the time, my budget constraints when insurance didn't cover things and helped address my concerns and fears regarding long term solutions to my many issues. They are always flexible and accommodating whether it be schedule issues due to my travel or adjustments to the treatment plan that are more appropriate as things change (as they inevitably do). I have never been left feeling like my issues were not 100% of their focus when dealing with me. It is greatly appreciated and the reason I continue to recommend people visit them especially when facing serious dental issues. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Bowyer. You can tell right from the start that he cares about the work he does and the quality of care he gives his patients. He is kind, patient, and willing to answer any questions anyone may have. I started off with him by looking for a consultation for braces and therefore found out I had work to be done before getting braces on; the entire work he did for me was outstanding and the least bit of painful. There was one day where I needed 3 teeth pulled and Dr. Bowyer did so in less than an hour while doing so with no pain. I have never enjoyed seeing my dentist as much as I have while being a patient of Dr. Bowyer's. Thank you to him and his staff for giving me a place to feel comfortable receiving dental care from. read more

I am a senior citizen and I trust Dr. Bowyer to correct poor dentistry I received in the past. He uses state of the art technology to diagnose what procedures need to be done and sends you photos and an exact cost of any dental work you need. I have never been to any dentist who has done such a thorough examination or has used as much diagnostic technology (equipment) as Dr. Bowyer did. His assistant is a very polite knowledgeable person. They work as a team as well as all of his support staff. This is the place to go if you want your dental work done correctly. Dr. Bowyer was recommended to me by an endodontist who told me he would only recommend Dr. Bowyer because I needed a lot of dental work corrected. read more

Can't say enough great things about Dr. Bowyer and his staff! Even though my own neglect ended up sending me in for emergencies twice in two weeks, I never felt embarrassed or was lectured, but instead was met with genuine kindness and concern, and was treated immediately and efficiently. Dr. Bowyer and everyone on his team bent over backwards to help me and to ensure I received the best care. The office is immaculate and has all the most current tools and technology. Dr. Bowyer has an amazing "bedside manner" and puts you right at ease. Even if you're afraid of the dentist, this place is almost fun to spend some time! Highly recommended to all my family and friends! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Bowyer's for almost a decade, and I'm not sure why I have never taken the time to share why I've stuck around so long. Dr. Bowyer is a profoundly talented, smart, and caring dentist who knows his stuff. He shoots straight with his patients, explains dental situations in terms non-dentists can understand, always has the confidence to set the person in the chair at ease, and performs his procedures effectively and efficiently. He employs a wonderful staff who uphold his values: they are always timely and friendly and do the best work. I'm lucky to have experienced firsthand how much Dr. Bowyer and his team care about their patients. read more

I had a minor adjustment that needed to be made to my implant. I even told the Doctor it could wait until after Thanksgiving but he was adamant- stating that he did not want to run the risk of my discomfort or hurting the implant. He found a space on the calendar for me and when I arrived I really did feel like I was coming back to visit friends! (they have a sign that says enter as a patient and leave as friends- IT's TRUE). The Dr was able to quickly make the adjustment and I was on my way in less than 20 minutes. I really love the staff and appreciate the timeliness and professionalism of Dr Bowyer. read more

Dr. Bowyer's office was friendly and clean. They were on time (actually ahead of schedule). Dr. Bowyer has detailed, thorough, and informative new patient exams. He takes photos, intra oral camera images, and full mouth series of X-rays. He is very personable and professional at the same time. I appreciate that he wants to do best restorative work for longevity vs. just putting out fires and doing the bare minimum to get by. He is an honest professional and a perfectionist, which are definitely two qualities I want in a dentist. read more

I am so impressed with Dr. Bowyer and his staff. Everyone there has been thorough, sincere, and makes the comfort of their patients a #1 priority. Dr. Bowyer is also a great communicator, he took the time to show me x-rays and photos of anything he considered significant and explained the whys and hows. I actually learned something about my mouth and wasn't just vaguely told what work I should have done. Thank Dr. Bowyer and staff, so glad I found you! read more

He discriminates against senior citizens on Medicare/ Medicaid. I showed up to my appointment, only to be told they won't take my insurance. Which will pay any dentist I choose,100% of preventive care and $3000.00 yearly. It should be illegal to turn patients away covered by insurance. read more
