Patient Stories

What Our Patients Say

Haven't been to the dentist in over 24 years. I decided to go due to a possible job change. I had some cavities, but I also had a broken tooth that needed extraction. Summit dental is hands down the best dentist around. While I was getting the "deluxe" package, it still went fast and I felt no pain. The entire staff there is top notch. I won't go anywhere else.

Best experience. I was in a lot of pain due to an infection in my tooth. And they were able to get me right in and take care of it. They were so caring and helpful. All the dentists are attentive and so nice! Highly recommend coming here!

I had a molar that needed to be removed for quite some time. I had never been to Summit Dental before, and needed the tooth removed asap due to excessive pain that would not subside. I made an appointment for the same day for emergency removal, and the tooth was removed by the end of the business day. Thank you, Summit Dental!!

I broke my tooth and I was in a lot of pain as it hit the nerve. I called Summit Dental and asked them how fast I could get in as I was really struggling. They said they could take me immediately. My dentist was Dr. Chad Erickson and he did a fantastic job. It turned out that he had to pull the tooth and then he also prepared the socket for an implant. He did that all while I was in the office. This just happened yesterday and while I was expecting a lot of pain I had very little which was also amazing to me. I really appreciated their quick and professional service. I highly recommend them.
