The entire staff was so a welcoming and nice. Everyone made me feel comfortable and at ease. Going to the dentist can be stressful and overwhelming but Dr. Grider was very upbeat and honest with me about the health of my mouth and gave me some great advice when talking about the next steps in my dental health plan. She made me feel like we were just two people talking about teeth. Very happy with my care and happy to know that my family will be in such caring hands! Kristin M. read more

Worst dental experience I have had as an adult. They told me at my appt that I had to have laughing gas but did not tell me it was not covered by my insurance. I have never had it in my life. I had to have a broken molar extracted. I had an infection that went into the nerve. It was you have it or I don't get the service. So I did it and tried very hard to not breathe it in. I was not given antibiotics, pain medications or a prescribed anti-inflammatory like prednisone because I could not take ibuprofen. I was so sick from the gas and ended up at the walk in clinic. Dr. ended up in jail for something and I got the bill for last August 2025 two weeks ago - June 2026 with no breakdown of costs. Just $1900 and a charge for the laughing gas denied because I was too old to have it supposedly. Seriously? Worst customer service and patient care. Also I could have used my FSA, and now I can't of course. read more

Been going here for a year now and I haven't 1 good experience. Dentist is always late and inconsiderate and not helpful at all so my wife and I started looking at finding another family dentist so we found one and they requested dental records so we requested our dental records from St Joseph Dentistry and not only did they send them over the records but they canceled my whole families cleaning appointments without letting us know. I called and receptionist and she was very rude and said she was contacted awhile back and was told to cancel the appointments which did not happen. Not surprised tho. The business is a money maker with little to no customer appreciation and as the customer I've always felt like an inconvenience. 0 stars. By the looks of the reviews I'm not the only one that has had issues here. Charles thank you for the quick response but that is just a professional way of telling me to pound salt the same way your receptionist did when I called your office with concerns and to try and resolve the issue. Thanks for the abandonment of care for me and my family. Thank you, Come to find out this is just an automated response. Thanks for the sincerity Charles. read more

I'll be fair. The office is nice, and so are the staff members. However, waiting to tell someone that their insurance is not accepted until after the appointment, forcing them to pay $490, is a bit unethical. Maybe next time, insurance coverage should be discussed in advance. Evidently, the website is not a reliable source to find out if your insurance is in network. Who knew? read more

Was discriminated against when I told them I had gotten injured bad in my upper lip and needed to possibly try to get stitches because of the bleeding 48 hours prior to my appointment - even talked to the office manager Tammy - I was not treated with respect or kindness and I will honestly investigate if that form of discrimination is even legal. I never said I would t make the appointment I just said I felt it would hurt and might make it rough on hygienist if I'm opening up wide making it bleed more on her and myself. I saw the response I can't call and talk I was on the phone with them today they have made it where again I can't get my teeth done due to discriminating me from my injury read more

I had an excellent hygienist, very friendly staff, and top rate care. I am glad I chose to go there

Very good cleaning and overall efficiency of the office. I would recommend them highly.

BEWARE. Our daughter has two abscessed, infected teeth that require extraction. Dr. Bernard saw her on 8/24/2022 and recommended extraction of four teeth, but specifically asked us to consult with an orthodontist prior to extraction. We did as we were asked, and the orthodontist recommended extraction of only the two infected teeth. The orthodontist provided this recommendation to Dr. Bernard prior to our visit. We talked to St. Joseph Dentistry staff about the conflicting opinions, and we were told that it would be worked out when we arrived for our extraction appointment. This morning, 9/21/2022, we arrived for our extraction appointment. Our 8 year old daughter was in pain from the infected teeth and we were eager for a remedy. When we asked about the competing opinions (four teeth vs. two teeth) we were informed by the hygienist that "Dr. Bernard does not like having his plan questioned." We simply wanted Dr. Bernard to explain to us why he recommended removing four teeth instead of two. When we pressed for an explanation, we were told that Dr. Bernard would not deviate from his plan. We would have liked an explanation from him, but ultimately decided that we would proceed with Dr. Bernard's plan because our daughter was in pain and we trust that the dentist knows better than we do. However, we were informed that because we dared to ask questions of Dr. Bernard and his plan, we were no longer welcome at the practice. Utterly shocked, I asked who the managing dentist was. Dr. Howenstine came to talk to us, and we reiterated that we would be fully willing to proceed with Dr. Bernard's plan, and couldn't believe they would turn away our suffering child because we asked questions about a second opinion that they themselves asked us to get. Dr. Howenstine was unapologetic and suggested we find another dentist. Aside from being a horrible experience, this is a violation of the ADA's Code of Ethics, Section 2.F. Dentists have an ethical (and legal) obligation not to abandon patients in need of immediate care. The fact that Dr. Bernard violated this ethical obligation simply because his ego could not withstand answering a few questions about treatment for a child is unconscionable. Dr. Howenstine's apparent endorsement of this behavior fares little better in our view. Please, do yourself a favor and find a dentist that does not violate ethical canon at the expense of a child in retaliation for the minor crime of being asked a few questions. read more

Everyone here is so fabulous! Dr Burt is always gracious, kind and explains everything so wonderfully. The staff is prompt and gentle and I look forward to my visit's! I highly recommend and will continue to do so! AG - St Joseph read more

The staff are friendly and you don't have to wait long for your appointment. The dental hygienists are gentle, kind, and thorough.

Everyone was very kind. The hygienist that cleaned my teeth explained everything and was very gentle.

I was happy with this office until I tried making our most recent appts. They canceled them and won't allow us to go back because of an insurance change before one of my kids extraction appts. They charged $900 to pull out baby teeth that were just hanging on for too long. I assumed it as covered and received a bill for it. I am a single mom with one paycheck and it took me a while to come up with the money and when I did, I paid in full. They sent my other child to a surgeon to have a cyst removed from her gums. So she doesn't get to return to the dentist that diagnosed her because her mom was too poor to drop 900 when the bill came. I have a new dental policy that puts this office in network but instead of verifying that, I have to find a new dentist. Again, I owe them $0, I paid in full, but they have blacklisted my family for having to wait until I had the money that I didn't realize I would need. They should have been able to tell me during his appt that it wouldn't be covered. read more

St. Joseph Dentistry has such a lovely staff, they made me feel welcomed. My dental hygienist Kathy was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions and concerns. She was so gentle when she worked on my teeth. When I met with the dentist she reviewed my gums, teeth, head and neck. She had a sweet spirit. I'd definitely recommend this office to others. read more

It's so rare to actually look forward to going to the dentist, but with massage chairs and TVs on the ceiling it feels more like a spa than a dentist! I almost wish teeth cleanings took longer because it's so relaxing! The staff is amazing and friendly, and the dentists are caring and know their stuff. I love this place! read more

New PT needing emergency appt. They offered me a choice of 2 times - same or next day. They were very gentle and understood what care I needed. I decided to purchase their in office insurance plan and already saved $150. Very happy with the office and all the staff interactions. read more

None of the staff members in this office were wearing masks. For a pediatric dentist, I was shocked by this. An extremely uncomfortable experience and ridiculous for a place that provides healthcare for children during a pandemic. We left after seeing that the clients and office staff didn't wear masks and I will never go here again. read more

Love Dr Burt ! I chipped a crown and was able to get in the next day. Morgan brought me back and took detailed pictures so Dr Burt could see what was bothering me . Dr Burt carefully ground down the little chip and all was well. The girls in the office were all super sweet and helpful. read more

The staff at St Joseph Dentistry are amazing! Super friendly, professional and very very accommodating.

I had an appointment for a checkup and cleaning, woke up with a terrible sore throat, had to call and cancel at last minute. Was told that any future appointments would require a $100 deposit at time of appointment. The girl on the phone wanted to get my credit card information for the future. I told her I didn't feel well enough to be on the phone or to come into the office. The same thing happened to my friend, who had Covid at the time. Wile I was satisfied with my previous experience with them, I doubt I will return to this practice. read more

This is the best dentist I've ever been to. I was so relaxed. They have massage chairs and TVs on the ceiling and give you sunglasses because it's so bright. They took such good care of me. Everyone was so sweet! Especially my Doctor, Dr. Burt. The dentist is never fun but they do everything possible to make sure you're comfortable. read more

From the new front entry to the massage chairs, The new office looks amazing and is very comfortable. The ladies at the front desk and check out were helpful and nice and Sharon took wonderful care of my Grandson. He went back all on his own and had a great experience.

Everyone I have encountered has been friendly and knowledgeable. They aren't happy until you are happy

I have a terrible fear of going to the dentist. The entire dentist office made me feel comfortable and heard. Everyone was gentle, explained carefully, and took excellent care of my mouth. The x-ray technology was amazing. I even got to watch some home renovation shows while the work was done. I would give 10 stars. read more

My 6 year old was having a tough time but they made her feel super comfortable and she calmed down and was fine for the appointment!! Alexis was amazing with her! Dr. Grinder is awesome as well she is always super happy and genuinely nice!! read more

Awesome experience. Technically they are cutting edge. Personally you can tell that they strive for a great experience. I usually walk in and the receptionist greets me by name and says that I am checked in. I am called back within 5 minutes. Just extend this to checkout. The dentist is friendly and always concerned with you in managing discomfort. Everything is explained well and they work with you to arrive at a treatment plan. My experiences have been with Dr Grider. read more

I had cracked my tooth over the weekend. They got me in first thing Monday morning, or very thorough with the exam and got me set up with a treatment plan. They are very professional and personable! read more

I've been going to St. Joseph Dentistry for three years now and couldn't have had a better experience every time! Everyone is very welcoming and kind, couldn't recommend them enough. read more

The people are friendly and calming. They explain everything, instant x-rays and in a place you can see them also! You get "sunglasses" with the all so familiar bib. There is not a bright light above you that always blinds you instead they have a tv in its place! They chairs are comfortable and they vibrate! Separate dates for what you need done instead of cramming it all into one and walking out sore and unable to do anything. read more

What a great "no fear" dentist. Beautiful and COVID clean office. Great people running the office, and great people working on my teeth. Vibrating chair was a bonus! I'd recommend them to anyone, especially to those who don't like going to the dentist! read more
