About Ponderosa Dental Group
Emergency dental repairs—including a holiday-weekend surgery for lost front teeth—come up repeatedly, alongside a conservative, no-upsell approach to treatment.
Ponderosa Dental Group is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, clear aligners, and TMJ treatment. Reviews often highlight Dr. Dan's willingness to fit in urgent cases, from broken teeth to a holiday surgery, and his conservative approach of treating only what's needed rather than upselling procedures. Many reviewers with dental anxiety describe gentle numbing techniques and staff who check in throughout procedures, while others note a clean, modern office with current technology.

Ponderosa Dental Group has an extremely professional staff and they always make me feel at home. I was not a big fan of dentist, but Dr. Dan and his crew has changed my mind on that. He has great respect and appreciation for all his staff and patients. That says alot about him as a person. You can sit at my campfire and time Dr. Dan

Ponderosa Dental is exceptional. Dan and his staff are friendly, thorough, and competent. We moved away from Missoula but will drive several hours there and back for the their dental services. Also, they always play great music in the office. I've had great dentists before, but none like Ponderosa.
