Made me feel so comfortable & my teeth are cleaner than ever! The process was pretty seamless & they communicated with me very openly and transparently! Highly recommend!
Loved everything about toothbar! I followed Brittnay Cox, my dental hygienist that I recommended to everyone, here because she is incredible… so happy I did because everything about toothbar is top notch! The environment, staff, and overall vibe is so welcoming. 10/10.
n absolutely incredible experience! I am so impressed with their state-of-the-art screening. Between the X-rays, 3D imaging, and scans, I was able to see the full structure of my bones, the topography of my teeth, and a complete model of my mouth. The team identified my needs, recommended an amazing treatment plan, and truly prioritized patient care. Brittany went above and beyond in explaining everything, including the fascinating connection between mouth and gum health, gut health, and mental health—something no dentist has ever discussed with me in all my years of care! This wasn't just a basic cleaning; it felt like seeing a true specialist for oral health focused on preventative, diagnostic, and holistic care. I am so thankful they provided such an integrated view of my overall well-being. I don't write many reviews, so taking the time to write this truly speaks to how wonderful this practice is. I was also pleasantly surprised by the wide range of insurance plans they accept, making high-quality care accessible regardless of socio-economic status. Finding a practice that genuinely cares and takes the time to listen—rather than rushing you through like a number—is rare in healthcare, let alone dentistry. Thank you, Brittany, for such an informative session, top-notch care, and a truly whole-health approach to treatment. I beyond recommend them!
Dr. Bakke treats her patients with excellent care and consideration. I trust her because she always takes the time to clearly explain what kind of care she thinks is most appropriate, perfectly blending calm and professional expertise. She puts me at ease, makes me laugh, and is also incredibly patient and kind.
Came in as a new patient and enjoyed the experience. Everyone on staff was helpful and full of positive energy. Thank you to Brittany (please don’t hurt me with the needle next cleaning if I spelled the Brittany wrong) for making me feel comfortable and for the cleaning. Thank you also to Dr. Gibbons for her expertise and clear explanation on what all I needed done or should consider in order to maintain a healthy mouth and bright smile. You get two hours of free parking in the parking garage. They have a good taste in music. Everything was clean and welcoming. Thank to the ladies at Toothbar.
