I had a fantastic experience at Sierra. Everyone was amazingly kind. The dental hygienist was funny, put me at ease, quick but thorough, explained everything she was doing. And the dentist explained follow up clearly and was great to work with as well. So happy to have found a great dentist. Would highly highly recommend to anyone!

Had such a good experience at Sierra dental. I had to bring my baby with me but Andrew at the front desk was so good with him and wouldn’t put him down! It made getting my teeth cleaned so much easier! Thank you Andrew!

My dental hygienist Gabriel was absolutely amazing. I have horrible dental anxiety and unfortunately needed a deep cleaning. Though I was nervous, Gabriel was as gentle as can be and I actually look forward to getting my next cleaning! I am excited for this journey of getting my dental health back on track. Thank you Gabriel!
