I was hesitant to start at a new dentist’s office after my previous dentist retired. But I have been really happy at North Benton Dental. It is a calm, clean and pleasant environment. The hygienists and dentists are very skilled and I always feel I’m in good hands.

I love this Dentist Office so much, that even after I moved and switching Dentists would have been more convenient, I chose to stay. Friendly staff, everything is always clean and sterile, and the Drs actually seem to remember me and ask questions about things we haven’t touched on in 6 months!!Really great atmosphere and they also always try and work hard to get myself and two kids all seen at the same time so we aren’t there all day!-Amanda

Dr.Johnson is a great dentist. I had a very bad experience with another dentist so was very anxious and leary to treat with a new dentist. I am now able to go to North Benton Dental with little to no anxious feelings. The staff are all so friendly and professional. I definitely recommend North Benton Dental!

I’ve always had good experiences with the staff here. Today was my first visit with Chelsey as my hygienist and she was so delightful! So friendly and informative! I love that they show you pictures and explain what they’re seeing going on with your teeth so you know the best course of action when it comes to preventative.

Went in for my routine cleaning this week and my hygienist Brittney did a great job and it’s always nice to chit chat with Dr Russell. He’s personable and a great dentist! Would highly recommend this office.

I hadn't been to the dentist for many years because I did not have insurance coverage so I was dreading it. My hygienist Chelsey did a great job scaling my teeth and I was comfortable the entire time. All of the staff is friendly and welcoming and the dentists are very helpful and informative. Would highly recommend!
