The hygienist, Jackie, does a great job. Not only cleans what gives excellent, really useful information about how and where you can do a better job. Really liked the new dentist, Dr Vanderwel.

Dr Vanderwel and his staff are the best! After going to a butcher, for dental work, South Reno Dental took me in and went above and beyond to make my dental work comfortable. Anyone looking for a great dentist and staff does not need to look any further. Very informative and patient. Love South Reno Dental. Thank you!

Today in two hours Had a tooth filled, had my teeth cleaned thoroughly better than I had ever had done in my life, had all the work done to replace a broken crown, which will be ready very shortly, Was demonstrated the new high-tech Oral-B toothbrush, and the new high-tech water pick that you can even use in the shower. The cost, including The new equipment and Delta Dental, co-pays for the crown and filling And cleaning totaled $257 with a full staff, that is very eager and seems to enjoy their jobs and answer every question question you might have. it seems that anyone can have this type of experience if they choose, I believe it starts at the top with an Honest and ethical Dentist.

Doctor Vanderwel was kind enough to squeeze me into his morning and re-torque the crown on my implant. I'm not one of his regular patients. Was a great experience and perfect outcome. Thanks a ton!
