  I have a mild case of PTSD from going to the dentist as a child. When I was a toddler, my top 4 baby teeth rotted out from my mom putting honey on my pacifier (it was the 70s). My small town, rural dentist replaced the rotten baby teeth with fake silver ones until my adult teeth grew in, and the experience was traumatizing. During that procedure, I ended up biting the dentist (it hurt!) and he bit me back!! I always seemed to have cavities as a kid, and the sound of the drill can still send me into a panic. My parents wouldn't tell me until the day of my appointment that I was going because I would agonize for days leading up to the visit. As an adult, I still have trouble getting fully numb for fillings, and just the thought of going to the dentist triggers the fight/flight response. Dr. Edland is the first dentist who truly listened and worked with me on my trouble with Novocain. He is patient, and waits until the anesthetic fully takes hold. There has been one time where I could still feel pain after he started drilling - he stopped, injected more anesthetic, and waited for it to take effect. I can't tell you how grateful I am for his kind and gentle demeanor. He also fully explains everything he is doing, keeping you updated on how far he's gotten and how much work is left. He is pragmatic and doesn't push you into procedures that can wait. And his staff is just as wonderful! Receptionist Liz is an absolute delight. She always makes you feel like you're her favorite patient. Edie assists Dr. Edland during procedures and is attuned to your needs throughout. She always provides comfort and reassurance during stressful visits. Valerie is one of the dental hygienists who is so sweet and gentle. Everyone at this practice is amazing. I just could not recommend Dr. Edland and his staff more!!

  I just have to say this is an Amazing office!!! The first time you walk in and see Sandy at the front desk smiling to when you go back and everyone welcomes you and always smiling genuinely it just feels right! Julie the hygienist who cleaned my teeth was so great, she got cement off the back of my teeth from years ago from a bonded retainer that I’ve gone to many dental visits and no one has been able to get it completely off, also she was amazing to talk to!! Then I met Dr. Edlands his bedside manner is also amazing and he genuinely cares about all his patients and makes you feel very comfortable and at ease especially if your nervous going to the dentist! The kindness that everyone showed me at this office was beyond my expectations and I will definitely be referring friends and family there!! Love love love Thank you for my perfect first visit!!

  Happy I chose this office. I was too embarrassed to see dentist for many years. Dr. Edland & staff are very friendly, encouraging & make me feel comfortable. Plus they have nitrous.

  They are like family. Everyone knows us by name and remembers details from conversations six months ago! Dr Edland even remembered my dad's favorite comedian, told me he was coming to town, and we had the perfect surprise gift for my dad. They are awesome!
