Fantastic experience: Gentle Dental is exactly what its name is. The staff is very gentle, caring, and kind. I always get anxiety about going to the dentist and everyone at Gentle Dental helped me feel at ease. They really do put the patient first and go out of their way to make sure the patient is comfortable at all times. I am thankful to have found a place that I feel comfortable going to and no more dental anxiety. I will always recommend Gentle Dental to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is nice and supportive which is awesome for someone like me with anxiety in a dental office setting.

Fantastic experience: I will admit I do not like to go to a dentist. Never have. It is uncomfortable and often times demeaning as I am not the best one to care for my teeth. HOWEVER it had been while and I needed to get a checkup and cleaning. My wife visited Gentle Dental so I went as well. I ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED MY VISIT! They are incredibly kind, professional and make sure you understand every thing you need to know about your teeth and the importance of a healthy mouth. Not only will I be coming back I will be making my 6-month cleaning appointments soon. Dr Wood and his staff are wonderful people I HIGHLY RECOMEND Gentle Dental to anyone who is looking for their dental home. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I've started a journey I've been putting off for a long time and Dr. WOOD will be my guide. Extensive dental work ahead for me. Oh man, here we go...

Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience and was taken great care of when I needed it the most!

Fantastic experience: All the staff were very friendly and greeted you when you came in. Dr. Wood took the time to actually listen and was thorough with his explanations and made you feel at ease. If your looking for a dentist, I recommend giving his office a try.

Fantastic experience: This was a fantastic experience and I highly suggest coming here to anyone! The staff are all really nice and super respectful. Not in an odd, overly professional sort of way, but actually made me feel comfortable. They definitely are professional at the same time. I didn't have insurance and they made the process really easy. Dr Wood was really good at explaining what was wrong and needed to be done while being super polite and respectful. If youre anxious about going to the dentist for any reason this is a fantastic place to go!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about this Office staff and dentist. I am one of those people that are horrified to go the dentist but I have to say that I feel like I am in good hands when I go there. It truly owns up to the name. The staff is very caring and you are treated like a friend not a number as soon as you enter the doors. Dr. Wood listens, understands your fears and makes you feel comfortable with the experience. I drive 2 hours to go there for my dental needs. I would highly recommend Dr. Wood.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Gentle Dental has always been great.

Fantastic experience: I had a teeth cleaning scheduled when I went to Gentle Dental and Abigail was my hygienist.She did an excellent job and she was so friendly and courteous, She was a pleasure to be around.Then Eric came in to check things out and he is always fun,, He knows what he’s doing and he always recommends your next step to keep your teeth in good condition.

Fantastic experience: The hygienist was amazing, very thorough and kind.

Fantastic experience: We love Dr. Eric!!! He is an awesome dentist.

Fantastic experience: I will give GENTLE DENTAL a 10 star if they would let me, I had such a bad experience with my last dentist that I didn’t wanna go back, but when I lost a filling I needed to see the dentist again. My sister told me about this place and I’m so glad she did. In all my years of seeing a dentist, I’ve never had such a great caring experience.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dr. Wood several years ago, and discovered he is a great dentist!! I think alot of people have a fear of going to the dentist, but if you go to him once, you’ll never want to go anywhere else! He is that good!! His staff is amazing!! Everyone is very efficient, and also very friendly! That matters alot to me, too.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this office! Their hygienist, Danielle, is amazing—she’s quick, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. She even gave me a helpful tip about stimulating my gums where I don’t have an opposing tooth, which I had never thought about before. Dr. Wood is fantastic and took the time to explain the benefits of a night guard. I struggle with grinding my teeth and headaches, so I’m really excited to have a solution that can help. Their assistant, Hector, took my impressions for the night guard and was so gentle while walking me through every step, which made the process really comfortable. From start to finish, the experience was wonderful—Angie at check-in was welcoming, and Tammy made going over my treatment plan easy to understand. Everyone was so kind, caring, and informative. 10/10—highly recommend this amazing team!

The entire staff is welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. What stands out the most to me is how thorough they are. They take the time to explain every single step before they do anything, which makes a huge difference and really puts you at ease. You never feel rushed or unsure about what’s going on.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Gentle Dentle. I have had issues with my teeth from an early age. So, I've been to many Dentists as I moved a lot. I always dreaded the dentist visits until I found Gentle Dentle. Everyone there is extremely nice and they explain things well. They give you options based on costs and help you figure out how to prioritize your dental treatments taking into consideration your budget. I no longer dread dentist visits! Thanks, Gentle Dentle for truly caring about your patients!

Fantastic experience: Dr Wood and his staff are very good at what they do and friendly. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Very excellent office all the way around. Very patient oriented with patient's comfort in mind. Got given a thank you gift bag with a mug and sugar free mints. First time ever gotten a thank you gift bag from a dentist.

Fantastic experience: I would like to give a shout out to my Dentist and his staff. They are absolutely amazing with my dental care. Dr. Wood is very concerned about how I feel about my smile and if I don’t feel right about it, he stops examines the situation and does everything he can to make me feel valued. His staff makes me feel very welcome. They’re friendly and very professional. They never make me feel, hurried or rushed in anyway. Dr. Wood even took the time while we were waiting on two of my teeth to be made in the lab( which took an hour) He told me I could leave and come back in an hour or I could stay and wait for them I told him I would just rather stay. He spent the entire time making sure I was comfortable and talking with me. He has a very friendly and professional attitude. I would recommend him highly. He his a five star dentist and so is his staff..

Fantastic experience: Abigail was my Hygienist and I highly recommend her for her gentle touch and warm smile. Dr. Wood is an amazing dentist who is easy going and very kind. We have been his patients for many years now and we are very happy with him and his team.

Fantastic experience: I wish I could give six stars to Dr. Wood and his staff. I have horrible dental anxiety and every part of my visit helped to put me at ease. It was easy to see that they cared about making me as comfortable as possible, and they went out of their way to explain everything clearly. I’m so glad I picked Gentle Dental!

Fantastic experience: The staff and facilities are excellent at Gentle Dental. They are very conscientious and caring. A very good dental office.

Fantastic experience: Returning patient after moving back! I can’t say enough good things about Gentle Dental! Dr Wood and staff are top notch in every sense of the word!

Fantastic experience: If you have any kind of anxiety or fears going to a dentist this is the place to go. They are incredibly nice, very patient and made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed without any judgment. They also offer really great flexible payment plans which helped a lot. They offered all sorts of things to make me feel comfortable and relaxed but they’re so nice and great at what they do that I don’t even need the additional things anymore. I only found out about them because a lot of my clients had talked about how amazing they were and they weren’t wrong. Love love love this place.

Fantastic experience: Excellent dentistry across the board, enjoy talking to the Dentist and staff. Provides excellent patient care and bedside manner. Best Dentist around, professional staff. Dental assistants are awesome. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I love these guys. I was terrified of the dentist. I NEVER believed that I would ever look forward to going, but I actually do. I had a cow issue come up right before my appointment yesterday. I had to go with manure on my shoes, smelling like cattle, didn't have time to brush my teeth 1st or change my clothes! But I didn't want to cancel. They gave me a toothbrush and let me clean up in their restroom and were so gracious and kind. They kept telling me not to worry about it, they were just happy that I made it. 15 minutes later my teeth were cleaned and I was ready to roll. That's how gentle they are. I DIDN'T want to cancel. If you knew me, you'd know what a miracle that is! They kept telling me how proud of me they are for not being scared anymore. But that's because of their kindness. It's all them. I recommend them to anyone who asks about a good dentist. I just love them. AND they have an in house dental insurance! $35/mo, you get free cleanings and big discounts on any work that you need done!

Fantastic experience: I have never been one to like the Dentist very much (nothing personal LOL) So I have had gaps in my dental care. Recently I got a tooth ache and needed a tooth pulled. A friend told me to try Gentle Dental and I'm glad I did. It was probably the best dentist I've ever seen, probably going to get on track with my teeth again. Thank you all at Gentle Dental

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this place. They have a quick check-in. In the waiting area, they have nice clean bathrooms, self-serve coffee area, tv, and good music playing not too loud. The chairs are so comfortable to sit in while you wait, which is not long at all. The staff behind the desk is friendly and makes you feel welcome. The dentist Eric Wood clearly explained any questions or concerns that I had. The dental hygienist is amazingly gentle and very professional. Tammy also was patient and kind when explaining my insurance and billing to me.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Gentle Dental and was thoroughly impressed with the service I received from Tammy, the dental receptionist. From the moment I walked in, Tammy greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel welcome. She was incredibly helpful and efficient in scheduling my appointment and answering all of my questions. Tammy's friendly demeanor and professionalism made the entire experience a pleasant one. Abigail, the hygienist, was incredibly thorough and gentle during my cleaning. She explained each step of the process and made sure I was comfortable throughout. Dr. Wood was also excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions. He conducted a thorough exam and provided me with valuable advice on maintaining good oral health. Overall, I highly recommend Gentle Dental. The staff is friendly and professional, and the facility is clean and well-maintained.

Fantastic experience: Very kind, very relaxed environment. I've a few bad experiences with dentists. So much so that I just started going to a see dentist again after a 10 year hiatus last year, which ended poorly. So I showed up today, full of anxiety. This was the best dental visit I've ever had. Painless, calm, everything was explained as we went along and it went by very quickly! 100% will be my go to dentist in Siloam. 100% would recommend it to anyone! Especially if you have anxiety about going to see dentists!

Fantastic experience: I felt welcomed and listened to. I got a good explanation of the treatment plan.

Fantastic experience: I have always had a great experience at Gentle Dental with Dr. Wood. He doesn't rush. He's kind when you ask questions and make you feel bad for asking. I have been going there pretty much since he opened his doors.

Fantastic experience: We love Abigail! She is so good with our 8 year old who has a wiggly tongue and a quick gag reflex. We rarely wait more than 5 minutes before being seen and the team is professional and kind!

Fantastic experience: If you want the BEST care…this is where you go. From Dr. Wood to the hygienists to the office staff and financial staff…EVERYONE is so kind and caring. They truly go above and beyond. Dr. Wood and all of his staff who have ever taken care of me, always do the best work with the most thought and care. You can tell they take pride in their work.
