Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough wonderful things about this dental office. From the very first appointment, they made me feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely excited about my smile again. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and treated me with kindness and compassion. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m getting my smile back, and with it, my confidence. It’s amazing how much of a difference a caring and skilled dentist can make. I’m so grateful for the incredible work they’re doing and for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one. If you’re looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients and takes pride in helping people smile again, I highly recommend them. Thank you for giving me a reason to smile with confidence!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Bills is very good with Children. All of my kids were very comfortable with him, over the years. My youngest has been very nervous about seeing the dentist and she found out today that there is no reason to be afraid. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. They do a great job of giving you pricing ahead of time, so there isn't "Sticker shock" when you receive your bill.

Fantastic experience: Accessible, kind, unpretentious… super knowledgeable and willing to share options. The staff and the dentist both, I don’t think it gets better than this.

I will definitely recommend and return.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best visits to any Dentist office by Far. Everyone was so kind and nice and they seemed to answer all my questions before I even asked.

Going to hold you to that; definitely come on back! Looking forward to seeing you again ! - Dr Bills

Sue LaBuhn Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I recently had to have my partial built up to fit my job better. Dr Bill's explained everything and possibly I could have been without my partial for 2 weeks but they said they would try to put a rush on it and guess what! The partial was in a pinch over a week! Absolutely the Dr Bills & the staff from Jaylyn, Julie, Sydney, Treisa, and Jennifer. I'm sure they will make you comfortable and right at home.

Fantastic experience: Dentist is a real gentleman. Great with his patients. After my wife’s procedure he took the time out of his busy day to make sure my wife got in the car ok. Made sure she didn’t hit her head getting in the car. That’s the kinda guy I want in my corner.

Bad Axe Family Dentistry

A couple hundred reviews and this may be the first time I've been accused of being a gentleman! I'm glad you and your family have chosen to place your trust in us. Happy to take care of you from the beginning of the appointment all the way to the very end! Where I come from we simply call that service! - Dr Bills
