Dr. Judd treated me with condescencion and disrespect. When I gave him feedback and told him I was feeling uncomfortable, he threw me out of the office in the middle of a procedure. Felt like I was a car being worked on rather than a person. I will never go near this place again and advise you to avoid it at all costs read more

I've been going to Today's Dental for over 20 years. Judd is very professional and an excellent dentist. The staff is very friendly.

This guy Judd Sherman is like a sleazy car salesman. This dentist spends roughly 30 seconds per tooth for a filling. Maybe less than 2 minutes per patient and charged my wife $651. Absolutely taking advantage of the insurance companies and patients. This was a minor filling with no anesthesia. This doctor does not take time to treat his patients that puts money in his pocket. TO ALL RETIREES...DO NOT RECOMMEND! GO ELSEWHERE. read more

This place overcharges and does lousy work. Judd, the so-called doctor, is only in it for the money, he's not personable, and he doesn't do his job right. I had questions about my fillings, but he walked off before I could ask, and the assistant dismissed me without listening. Don't be deceived by the office decorations. Just because it looks nice doesn't mean the service matches. read more

I've had a lot of pain on lower and upper left crowns, I told the hygienist this at my last cleaning but as always Dentist dismisses just about anything and everything that is said. I really wanted to love Todays Dental, and their are some really wonderful people employed there, but I spent a lot of money on a new smile and would like concerns addressed. I also can't handle their booking lady Ashley, I've never EVER dealt with such a condescending, passive aggressive receptionist. I could share several examples of conversations I've had with her where she cuts you down while using her "high-pitched - trying to be nice" voice, but I see right through it and I've had enough. All of the other office ladies are very nice and easy to communicate with. Taking my business elsewhere. Maybe all the "David's" will continue to boost reviews, I'm done! lol read more

I am so grateful for such a caring staff... I was in tremendous pain and the staff got me in the same day then followed up with my primary care to make sure I got the prescription I needed considering my complicated situation. Thank you so much for your care and your compassion! read more

This dentist is overpriced and do shorty work. I spent thousands on 3 crowns and they all failed and fell out. I had to pay $18,000.00 out of pocket to have my remaining top teeth pulled and get implants. They are not even registered with BBB. Now I know why. Stay away if you want to keep your teeth. read more

Best. Dental. Office. EVER! Fantastic staff! Great dentists. I won't go anywhere else!

I have an emergency to try to prevent swallowing Mercury fillings that have broken down and to have this one taken out and replaced I was told I had to wait for insurance to be okayed about two weeks they've talked to my Insurance company many times to know I'm covered yet they just do not give me the customer service I need or deserve in fact I have had nothing but problems with these people for the past 4 years when my teeth should be getting fixed they have been getting worse and they talk to me about care I tell them what I want but they put the breaks on, it is like they just do not care about me or fixing my teeth or giving me any dental care at all I'm fed up I would not recommend this dentist to anyone please don't go read more

Ok so let me start out by saying that the staff in the payment and greeting area are awesome. But today I had a nightmare of an experience having a root canal not only did I vomit 4 times but I almost suffocated in it . I was in a upside down position in my chair I wasn't able to move or turn. And on top of that I No one came to check on me for nearly 10 mins. I'm not really sure if I will be going back but I just wanted to let people know of my experience. I would like write a follow-up to my last post after revisiting Today's Dental in Yelm. After receiving a follow up phone call from Dr. Sarah Sherman, I decided to return for another visit. I have to say I was impressed with the empathy regarding my last visit and the level of care provided. The customer service was outstanding and I'm glad we were able to resolve this issue. read more

I have been going for about 5 or 6 years now, still the best dentist office I have been to since moving to Washington in 2007. I am 55 years old and would put this dentist office un the top 3 anywhere I have lived in the world (being a Navy veteran, I have literally been to dentist all over the world). Notice I say office not just mentioning the dentist Judd Sherman, that is because he has created a fantastic team that truly appears happy doing what they do and making patients feel welcome and comfortable, not rushed. read more

Short Review: (I have written a longer, 5-page review and am looking at the most appropriate spot to place it, too) These details are from my experience with Today's Dental of Yelm in the last year in dealing with my four-year old daughter, Aeris: -They failed to do proper x-rays before dental work, which lead to work being re-done by another dentist, and lead to decay reaching the root of a tooth which caused a severe abscess. -They failed to do simple fillings on several cavities. From images taken by a different dentist depicting the work that Dr. Judd and Sarah at Today's Dental did, it was discovered that they didn't remove all the decay from my daughter's teeth before they filled them with amalgam. -They failed to do a proper pulpotomy (akin to a "baby root canal") on my daughter's abscessed tooth that later abscessed again (became swollen and infected) because of it. They didn't remove all the decay in the pulp, so the abscess came back, which caused my daughter a lot of pain and discomfort and rendered the previous procedure useless. -They failed to properly place a stainless-steel crown on the affected tooth. It wasn't seated right and it didn't cover the tooth entirely, which further made the procedure pointless and further caused unnecessary pain to my daughter due to their inability to perform simple dental procedures. -They gave harmful advice that would have damaged my daughter's health further if it was heeded. Dr. Judd said the infection (abscess) wasn't a big deal and was akin to a "zit." Speaking to another professional doctor (Dr. Kapust in Olympia), I was told infections in the mouth are always big deals as they can spread and eventually be deadly if left untreated. -They responded quickly to the need of my daughter to be seen, despite being the ones doing most of the damage. -Everyone in the office is kind and polite. -I was kindly provided a refund for all the shoddy work they performed. -I never received an apology or was given the chance to speak to Dr. Sarah or Judd despite them being the ones failing to meet my daughter's needs. I have contacted them with my intention of speaking to her about 7 times since I found out from Dr. Kapust that Dr. Sarah and Judd did not perform the pulpotomy or even the fillings correctly. He found this out by later extracting the abscessed tooth and x-ray images of the teeth that had the fillings done by Dr. Sarah and Judd. (It has been over a month since I last contacted Today's Dental and was told Dr. Sarah would contact me; August 17th, 2015 to the present.) -They have good prices, but not good value; indeed, how could it be good value when your child doesn't benefit but harmed from their services? In summary, Today's Dental offers dental work for a great price and with a delightful smile. They are prompt, too, in getting you in their office when you need to. However, in my experience, they will sell you things your child doesn't need, don't do things your child does need (x-rays), provide shoddy work (the fillings, pulpotomy, and crown), and--ultimately--leave a hole in your wallet and in your child's mouth. Your experience, however, might be different than mine. Yet, my daughter--the most adorable thing on the planet--experienced a great deal of pain while in their disconcerting care. In my experience, going to Today's Dental will lead to tomorrow's pain. read more

My wife and I have been going here for about four years, now. We are very comfortable and happy with them. Like all dentists it costs, but they have their own dental insurance program that helps for those not having insurance. They will work with you, too. They are all so nice and friendly. This is the only dentist place that I have never had pain. Not even some. I have had some crowns and fillings, plus get regular cleanings. read more

I love them. I have many issues with my teeth and therefore have to go there often. They are always friendly and care. They even squeezed me in the same day as my tooth broke apart. They made me feel like I'm important to them and always do a great job and believe me, I've been to many dentists over the years. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else anymore. The Doc's work was always fast and clean abd I've never had any issues afterwards. read more

Todays Dental Center - The Staff - General Dentistry Near Me - Yelm, Washington

See all

When I was there I was told I had 5 cavities, among other things. I found this hard to believe since I brush and floss at least twice a day and keep up on my cleanings. I haven't had a cavity in over 5 years. I decided to trust my instinct and get a second opinion. The second opinion said I had NO cavities. He put a "watch" on 2 teeth but said there was nothing he saw that would make him drill into my teeth and the dark spots on my x ray may just have been how the picture was taken. The thing I regret is that I was told my 4 year old also had 5 cavities. I allowed them to give her 5 fillings with out a second opinion first. She likely did have cavities, but I wish I would have gotten a second opinion on hers also. read more

My kids and I went here for a few years and always stuck up for them when everybody only had negative things to say. I started having some issues with my gums last year and their suggestion was to pull the perfectly tooth and put in a crown. To the tune of $1600. Said it had to be done within a month. I decided to get a second and then third opinion and both places, one being a specialist, were horrified his first solution for the problem was to just rip my tooth out. It's over a year later and the problem is fixed by somebody else for less than half the price and I still have my tooth. I'm so glad I got a second opinion! read more

Today's Dental center has the sweetest staff, they go above and beyond for their patients. I have been going there for a few years and have recommend them to friends and family. They are very professional and make your visit calm relaxing. Lisa, the dental hygienist that I saw today, was very nice and knew what she was doing. They have a very good crew. read more

I had 2 of my wisdom teeth pulled on Tuesday before Thanksgiving It was very,very painful my face was black and blue all the way down my neck. I know that it was the Thanksgiving holiday weekend,but I think they could have called me to see how I am doing. Also they did not give me enough pain pills it was a very long weekend. read more

Amazing experience. The staff is always cheery and responsive. Dr. Judd insures that the procedure is as comfortable as possible. They are willing to work with you financially and the pain of a dental visit is minimal. They are definitely my dentists of choice and recommend their devices to anyone. read more

After over 3 1/2 years and better insurance benefits I finally fixed the pain this place caused me, we found out they had put metal directly onto my nerves which was what caused me so much pain on both sides of my mouth I was able to eat raw fruits again and it made me cry. Be careful they will use you for your insurance I was sat in a chair for 4 1/2 hours one day, and 5 hours the very next day while 3rd trimester pregnant because I was told i could get all the damage they found "fixed" before my insurance ran out. The new place I found spaces out my work so I don't have to spend more than an hour laying in an office chair and I'm NOT pregnant. read more

Today's dental is such an amazing place to go. They are so friendly and have big smiles on their faces. They are so helpful. My teeth are always so clean! I really recommend coming here. I love today dental! read more

I had my wife schedule an appointment for pain that I have been experiencing since my last visit. I arrived 10 minutes early and wound up leaving 45 minutes later without being seen. I sat in the waiting room with no update and no explanation. I take this as though my time is of no value to Today's Dental. Judd and his wife are great dentists, I only wish they valued my time as much as they value their own. I will be looking for a new dentist for our family. read more

My daughter had a dental check-up a few weeks ago, and the office staff were very nice. HOWEVER, the dentist was rather cold and indifferent. Didn't interduce himself when he came in. I was not too impressed. THEN today my daughter had her wisdom teeth pulled and was the worst, traumatic experience ever!!! We've all had our wisdom teeth out; yes it hurts afterwards, no it isn't pleasant. WHAT WAS AWFUL AT TODAY'S DENTAL WAS THEY DIDN'T ADMINISTER LAUGHING GAS, just Ativan the night before and 1 hour before. After questioning them about this multiple times, they assured me that this will be better and have more of a SEDATIVE AND AMNESIATIC effect than laughing gas. This is B.S. Sure if you were having maybe 1 tooth pulled that was fully in, BUT NOT 4 COMPLETELY IMPACTED!!!! DON'T EVER GO TO THIS DENTIST!!! There are plenty of others. Don't be fooled by their nice new office and their courteous staff. This dentist is a quack! read more

Let me start this review by saying that I have 10+ years of experience in both the administrative and clinical aspects of dentistry. I have had the pleasure of working in 3 different offices, all of which employed the highest standards of professionalism and care. I am fairly new to the area and had a minor dental emergency. Today's Dental Center was recommend to me, so I scheduled an appointment. When I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly young woman, but that is where the good ended. I well understand that coming in on an emergency basis, I would probably have to wait. However, no one ever informed me that I'd be kept waiting at all, let alone almost 1 hour. When I was finally seated, I could not believe the level of chaos and disorder that I observed. The back office staff that I came into contact with, all seemed to be rushing around like they had too much going on. I was appalled by the obnoxious and immature manner of the young assistants and even the doctor himself. While waiting in the operatory (yes, I was made to wait there too), I heard a lot of high-pitched giggling, and curse words and crude jokes being consistently, loudly, and casually thrown around. When I was being taken back, I even saw one of the staff skipping through the office. Completely unprofessional. When the doctor finally graced me with his presence, he was loud, abrasive and inappropriate. He spent just enough time with me to help me with my issue and then he was gone. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, so I went back a 2nd time for an exam and cleaning. The hygienist that did my cleaning was absolutely wonderful, but she was pulled away from me several times in order to give anesthetic to other patients. Sadly, I only encountered more of the same ridiculous behavior from the doctor and the rest of the clinical staff . I don't usually write reviews, good or bad, but my experience with this office was just too awful to let go. It is astonishing to think that this office has patients that regularly endure this kind of unprofessional behavior. Today's Dental Center, through the staff's and doctor's actions, made it abundantly clear to me that quantity of patients and production, is what is most important to them, not the quality of the dental care they give to their patients. The health of my mouth is too important to me to continue to go to an office where I will receive sub-standard care, so it is extremely safe to say I won't be returning. read more

I am filing a complaint with the better business bureau and ice (military complaint) because you guys do way below sub par work for well above pricing. my new dentist was disgusted by amount of cement left in my mouth and terrible job you did on my crown and the way you abused my insurance time and time again. also telling me I was a lair didn't help. esp since my new dentist fixed the problem in about 15 mins by removing all the cement you carelessly left in my mouth for almost a year causing a infection and me to be in constant pain!!! I will make sure no one ever has to deal with that amount of incompetence again. read more
