Gentle Dentistry - Coon Rapids Office

I am very scared of the dentist but Rami made me so comfortable that I didn't get my normal I'm going to throw up feeling. Will definitely go back.

They don’t call it gentle dentistry for no reason! The dentist I had was so gentle, caring, talked me through the process of what he was doing, he actually cared about how I felt! All the other workers there were also very kind and sweet and answered all the questions I had and were very patient with me! I had a horrible experience the week before at a different dentist who worked on a tooth that shouldn’t have been done and also told me I needed a root canal on another tooth that I had no issues with and I had an extraction scheduled with the other dentist but I just had a feeling that I shouldn’t do it and found gentle dentistry and they got me in an hour after I called and sure enough I didn’t need a root canal! He was able to save my tooth from being pulled and got it fixed the SAME DAY! He did an AWESOME job I didn’t even feel the Novacaine shot when he gave it to me. The other dentist was super rough and hurt me when he gave the shots and did work to my teeth that didn’t need to be done. I didn’t think I could go back to another dentist after that experience I’m so glad I found gentle dentistry it made my fear of dentists go away! Thank you so much for your awesome work and being so kind!

Dental hygienist, Linh, is amazing! She is very gentle and explains every step she does. As I am someone who does not enjoy going to the dentist, she makes it a quick and easy process. My rating for this location dropped because of the dentist! She has a "I don't care" attitude and will do things in a rush. When I had a cavity and came in for a filling, she did not give me any heads up when it came to shots. She also did not show me any xrays. I have switched to a new location and it has been a much better experience! Depending on the receptionist, they can be slow at their tasks. I had asked for a scan to be sent to another location. I gave them a week and they still had not done it.

I highly recommend this place! I have had nothing but the upmost respect and high quality care from ALL staff. They have patience and work wonderfully with my kids who have anxiety issues and one who is on the spectrum. They let all of us know what they are going to do before they do it vs. while they do it or not at all(had this issue with previous dental offices). We’ve been going here for years, and will continue for years to come. Thank you for all that you do for my family and I. We appreciate each and every one of you and all that you do!

Today I used Gentle Dentistry for the first time and was very happy. The entire staff, from front office to the chair, were professional and welcoming. Great experience!

My experience is very bad. They canceled my appointment because I didn't answer their call three days before to confirm the appointment. I arrived and was very upset that I wasted my time for nothing

Edit: They pulled all 4 of my wisdom teeth out without putting me under. Never gave me the choice to do it, then the dentist was rude about the pain I was feeling. Extremely unorthodox. It's only six months later that I realize how odd that was. They were terrible at communicating what the procedure was going to be like before-hand. My initial review was a 5/5 because I had a good time dealing with the hygienist before the surgery.

Went in to get a filling done. Next day I’m in excruciating pain have a fever and feel awful! Had another appointment went in and let them know what was going on they looked and told me that my tooth is cracked from the filling they put in and tell me they can fix it for 2000 dollars out of pocket or they can remove it. Now I have to have my tooth removed because insurance won’t cover for them to fix their mess.This has caused me tremendous fear of going to the dentist. I’ve taken care of my teeth for so long just to have them break it and not fix it and according to them my symptoms are unrelated and to go get tested for COVID?! Well I tell you what if I got COVID it won’t be from no where else but this place because I’ve been quarantined at home not to mention if I ever leave my house it’s only for appointments, I have not been sick until this happened! The audacity!

I really enjoy meeting up with my dental hygienist and catching up because she really cares. They are the best not only do you leave with a great smile but client are well informed regarding upcoming procedure and any cost you may have so you can budget for the service.

I have really bad anxiety when it comes to the dentist, and before Gentle, I hadn't been in a dentist in maybe two years because of a traumatic experience. It got so bad, I had panic attacks whenever someone mentioned the dentist. But after coming here for a cleaning, I felt more confidence in myself.

Linh Tran is the best! She was so sweet and calmed me down from any impending meltdowns.

I have other appointments coming up, I'm a little nervous, but I know I'm in good hands.
