About Ironwood Dental
Modern imaging technology and a notably gentle touch with young kids define visits here, alongside Dr. Alyssa Holmes and Cole Younger, DDS on staff.
Ironwood Dental is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, clear aligners, early treatment, and TMJ treatment, though most reviews focus on routine dental care. Reviews highlight the office's 3D imaging, full mouth scans, and a clean, calming design more than is typical, and many describe staff as unusually patient with young children during first visits and procedures like fillings or root canals. Anxious patients often mention feeling at ease thanks to touches like blankets and relaxing videos during treatment.

Incredibly dishonest pricing practices. After going in they told me I needed my wisdom teeth pulled. Asking for a price, they told me $2k after insurance. I thought it was a bit high, but decided just to get it over with and went in, paid them, and thought it was done. Three months later they give me a bill for an additional $1k because... they like money? Avoid if you want an honest dentist's office.
