Helped me save a lot of money and took away my fear of the dentist or oral surgery. Made me feel comfortable for every operation. Not to mention my new teeth look amazing. 15 years with 2 missing teeth and these folks truly amazed me.

Patient Review By Ted C
Had an upper decayed wisdom tooth and the molar directly in front of it extracted by Dr Kuhns. I could not believe how fast and painless the procedure was! Dr Kuhns and his staff were very thorough and explained everything! I am now about 36 hours after the procedure and virtually pain free following their detailed after care instructions! I cannot thank Dr Kuhns and his staff enough!.. I HIGHLY recommend!

Patient Review By Katie P
From the time I walked in the door until the time I left. The atmosphere, the receptionist(I’m sorry I forgot her name, Janelle, the dental assistant, and Dr. Engebresten all had a calming effect and made you feel comfortable in what is usually an uncomfortable situation. I was well taken care of. It went so fast and pain free and prepped for implants. I look forward in completing the rest of my care with them. I HIGHLY recommend themThank you

Patient Review By Matt H
I had a need for a very painful extraction and Dr. Engebretson got me in to office the same day as my request. Both he and Alyssa did my procedure and they were extremely professional and they were outstanding at keeping me informed as to what was happening throughout the entirety of the procedure. The office was very clean and well maintained and I would definitely refer anyone in need of their services. They made a very painful situation very tolerable and as pleasant as possible.

Patient Review By Susan S
Although I had 2 teeth extracted, under anesthesia, it was a great experience. There was no pain afterwards, virtually no bleeding, and no pain or swelling 24 hours later. If I could rate them more than 5 stars I certainly would. Dr. Kuhns called me about 7pm that evening to make sure I was ok.

I am a veteran with special needs due to PTSD. The entire staff and Doctors could not be more accommodating to help me through the process. I definitely will return and not hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

Patient Review By John G
#15 extraction over a month ago. ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS. You should trust Dr, Brown completely. When he sez a little pressure now, he means pressure, not pain. His manner is so friendly, assuring, & comforting that I wish we could go out and have a beer or 2. P.S. Stock up on soft foods before you go.

Patient Review By Jenni H
We were very happy to have a trusted friend in the field refer us to Dr. Brown for my daughters oral surgery. Darlene at the front desk was very helpful and informative and answered all my many questions about the procedure and related costs. Dr.Brown was friendly and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and concerns and put myself and daughter at ease for her first surgery experience. Also want to say Joey the surgical nurse was awsome and according to my daughter her new friend. She also wants to thank the other girl but she can't remember her name. Thank you all again for a great experience.
