Bear River Dental

Theresa is amazing as always! Pleasant and thorough. Front staff was friendly and efficient as well

I have nothing but positive things to say. I hadn't been to a dentist in an extremely long time and was afraid I would be judged based on the poor treatment of my teeth in that time. Instead what I experienced was a group of people who just wanted to help me feel better and get my mouth looking beautiful.

I have NEVER been to a place that dealt with scared children as well as this place did. My son is deathly afraid of doctors because a past experience and the nurse and dentist here were so amazing at getting him calm and cooperative that as a mother I wanted to cry happy tears. This place is amazing and can make a difference in how your child may view any type of doctor and to top it all off they didn't push me to have extra stuff done to have to pay more money for. In fact I wanted to get my kids teeth pulled and he advised me to just have my son wiggle his teeth to get them out naturally so I didn't have to spend the money to have it done. I am definitely going to be a loyal customer here now!!!!

Excellent care. The team took the time to explain all options so I was able to make informed decisions about the best way to proceed. Highly recommend Bear River Dental.

Beautiful/clean building. Comfy waiting room seats. Friendly staff, nicest dentist I’ve been to. Netflix overhead to distract me. Very upfront about treatment options and cost. Thank you for the great experience after so many terrible ones!

I’ve gone to this dentist my entire life and here’s what I have to say about it. The staff is very friendly and I personally think they do the best job at cleaning teeth. However, their fillings could use some work. I’ve never had problems with fillings up until recently. They filled in a cavity on the side of my tooth, and every now and then I have to go get it refilled because it doesn’t hold. I’m unsure if it’s because of the location of the filling or something else, but they can never seem to get it right.
Secondly, they don’t tell you if your insurance will actually cover something. I needed a mouth guard really bad because of my TMJ and they were very insistent that my insurance wouldn’t pay for one. Well guess what? They do, and they did. I had to go to the hospital in order to find that out, so thanks Bear River! They also don’t tell you if there’s a change in what they’re doing. When I finally did get my mouth guard, it was a completely different one than the one they said they were going to give me. I didn’t mind at the time, but my teeth broke through the flimsy plastic in less than 6 months.
Lastly, they absolutely REFUSE to work with you on payment plans. At my last appointment, I decided I would pay out of pocket for a better mouth guard. They suggested a payment plan that I couldn’t really afford. While I could pay it, it would be taking 95% of my paycheck, which wouldn’t leave me anything to pay my bills with. I explained this to them multiple times but they refused to change the plan, instead they would just take the money out a couple of days later, because that’s so much more helpful. I would also like to add that they didn’t explain any of the payment plan before taking my impressions despite me asking. They just told me the full cost and that “we’ll work something out”. If I had know they weren’t going to work with me before they took my impressions, I never would’ve done it.
Update: I got my new mouth guard two month ago, the on I paid out of pocket for. It’s specifically meant for people with TMJ and it’s supposed to prevent grinding. I spent $500 on this mouth guard and my teeth have already started to break it, so it does NOT help at all with grinding. My teeth have started making craters in the hard bit that’s supposed to stop your teeth from hitting the plastic. I would also like to add that the hard bit doesn’t prevent my teeth from touching the plastic, they just touch it in different spots, closer to the front instead of along my molars. This mouth guard was honestly a waste of money, and I stand by my earlier point of getting one from Walmart

Honestly, if you’re looking for a mouth guard, just get one of the $25 silicone ones from Walmart. It’s way cheaper and way more convenient than trying to work with these guys

Outstanding staff and excellent customer service. Thank you so much for fitting me in to your already busy schedule to fix my bad tooth!!

Excellent knowledgeable staff in a wonderful clean facility. Dr. Owens and his staff are very skilled and professional. It was a very pleasant check up and the most educational dental visit I have ever had.

Very polite and professional. They cleaned my daughters teeth very well and were very thorough in telling us what they were doing and what needed to be done. Overall very pleased with their service.

I love Bear River Dental the doctors are amazing and Teresa my hygienist Is worth the hour and a half drive ❤️
