About Dove Dental Group
Anxious patients often mention how the team eases dental fear, from Christian music during procedures to gentle handling of a strong gag reflex.
Dove Dental Group is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign and retainers, though most reviews focus on routine and restorative dental care. Reviews often mention how the team works with anxious or nervous patients, describing calm coaxing, extractions described as causing little discomfort, and small touches like playing music during procedures. Dr. Steve Dove and other dentists on staff are noted for explaining options without pushing unnecessary treatment, and several reviewers mention getting seen quickly for same-day or emergency issues. A few reviews raise concerns about billing and fees.

Most definitely the best experience I have ever had at a dentist office in my life! Everyone was SO kind, the receptionists, the hygienists, and the doctors! Jaye worked with me and she was so sweet! I don’t think I will ever go to a different dentist office ever again. The Christian music playing the whole time was absolutely amazing and definitely helped my nerves as well!

My family and I are originally from Arkansas, so this was my first time here, and I couldn’t recommend it enough. They have a great facility, top notch equipment, and a phenomenal staff that not only cares about your smile, but you as a person as well. Jessica first called me back to take all of the initial images, and to be honest, I was not feeling myself. My husband was in the hospital following a scary incident, and although he was stable, I was still worried and stressed. She could tell, and asked me how I really was doing, and when I told her, she asked if she could pray with me. My family needed that so much, and it certainly helped my heart. Additionally, Jess the hygienist came in and was extremely kind and actually went ahead and worked me in for a cleaning given the circumstances so I wouldn’t have to come back. And don’t even get me started on how kind, compassionate, professional, and thorough Dr. Bridwell was during her exam. I know I only go to the dentist once a year, but I hope when I go back I get this same team, because they not only treated my smile, but my heart as well. I cannot recommend Dove Dental enough 💜💚
