Fantastic experience: Got me in very quickly and the staff were wonderful. In and out the door to repair a chipped tooth in 30 minutes.

Paul Published on Google

Fantastic experience: My wife had a molar that the crown broke along with part of the tooth. They were kind enough to accept her as a patient with only a day notice. All went well. Thanks. Now we can continue our vacation. If we ever have another dental emergency, we will definitely come here for a solution.

Fantastic experience: I definitely recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: I had a surprisingly great experience considering I got a tooth pulled, but this dental office is excellent. They get you in in a timely manner, they even called me to offer me one of their cancellations. When I arrived the staff was very professional and pleasant. I was brought back quickly. I saw the dentist very quickly. He was impressively professional. Very good at his job, this man. I was in and out quickly without feeling rushed. I will definitely be coming back here for my dental care.

Fantastic experience: Very professional team. Have been going here for almost 15 years and my teeth have never looked better. Dr Chalgren is of the highest integrity, he has never suggested unneeded dental work. All the dental hygienists here are at the top of their game. Always painless.

Fantastic experience: I am a new customer to Copper Country Family Dentistry. Family members gave them a good review, and I got a very competitive price on an immediate need. I have been back multiple times, and all is well. Friendly service. Efficient. Very little downtime waiting in the chair. I highly recommend them!

CM McLaughlin Published on Google

Fantastic experience: This dental office gives me reasons to smile. When I cracked my front teeth thousands of miles from home, Dr. Bob took my phone call and recommended a dentist that a temporary solution. His office also scheduled a appointment so upon my return home they swiftly initiated a permanent repair. His assistant, Annette, is equally thoughtful and professional as his team carefully repaired my teeth so they function and look as if they never were broken. His office uses state of the art equipment, resulting in painless x-rays and their lifelike models gave me teeth that feel and function as good as they look.

Jeffrey Paulson Published on Google

Danielle Hupp Published on Google

Fantastic experience: So thankful CCFD got my daughter in during spring break, when no one else in the area would. Was able to help her with her tooth pain. It was short notice on our end but with going out of town and this coming up i couldn’t be more thankful. Now my daughter can enjoy spring break!

Denise Eister Published on Google

Positive experience: First of all Kayla the scheduler is amazing, friendly, understanding and works really hard to make appointments that work for you. Dr. Chalgren was amazing, I had emergency appointment, infected wisdom tooth needed to be pulled, absolutely no pain. Dental Assistant (dont remember her name) was supportive during procedure and professional but not overly friendly and I was super nervous. The most negative thing I can say is about the front desk reception. They were very cold and distant, not what you want representing the office upon entering, or after your appointment when checking out . If it wasn't for front desk reception I would have rated the experience a 5, but I still would recommend Dr. Chalgren. Thank you for quick appointment and another shout out to Kayla in scheduling.

Roisto Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Friendly, efficient hygienist. Felt comfortable through the entire teeth cleaning experience.

Lianna Madden Published on Google

Negative experience: I have never written a review on anything ever but let me tell you, my first visit was horrible. My literal first interaction with these people. They gave me the anesthetic for fillings only to tell me they couldn’t do it because someone neglected to view my insurance. Walked out with half of my face numb for no reason. The dentist told me “if I would’ve known you were with (insert insurance), I wouldn’t have done it”. He didn’t even explain anything about my x-rays or how the filling would go until after the anesthetic was done. Absolutely terrible place. This part might be nitpicking but he’s also stingy with the water rinse and try’s to speed run through the appointment (probably so you don’t ask any questions… he couldn’t answer mine). Dentist was Dr. Chelgern

Deb Schmidt Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr Bob and his staff are always pleasant to see. They treat you as an individual and not just a client.

TedN Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Chalgren was super! I’m not a fan of dentistry work being done, but he made me feel super comfortable and made my procedure painless, him and his team were able to do everything that needed to be done all in one visit! Thank you! I would definitely recommend him and his team to anyone needing any dentistry work done! Thanks again Dr. Chalgren!!

Sara Lahti Published on Google

Negative experience: Lived in the Copper Country nearly 20 years now and wish I would have never went there - billing office is unkind and unfair. Never going back

Dawn Kiser Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome. I had a root canal. I almost fell asleep during the procedure. No pain. I’m so grateful. I didn’t have to travel to have my dental work done. I highly recommend this practice.

dawn Bardo Published on Google

Fantastic experience: CCFD is always a pleasant place to get my teeth taken care of no matter the situation. The whole entire staff shows kindness and understands your needs and reacts to the situation. I would recommend them to any and all.

Jeanne Houle Peters Published on Google

Fantastic experience: My first impression was the Notices received from The Office about my upcoming appointment. They were very helpful.. This is my first time going to Dr. Chalgren’s dental office-Upon entering, the staff was welcoming and had the information about my appointment and the forms that I had Filled out online-They were very organized. Dr. Chalgren was very personable interested in my dental care … in the past as this was my first appointment with him and went over teeth cleaning, Teeth sensitivity, Past history and my continued care during the summer months… We also talked about Dr. Chalgren being very familiar with the area … And the residents Of Houghton County and the surrounding counties… Each of his assistance knew about my x-rays that were sent to the office from my out-of-state dentist which also was very helpful that I did not need to pay for x-rays again…

Tammy Gajewski Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I have severe anxiety with dentists and Dr. Chalgren keeps me calm and relaxed while maintaining my teeth the best they can be for as long as I have them. The atmosphere is relaxed and I appreciate that very much.

Donna Trudell Published on Google

Fantastic experience: The office staff is very accommodating and friendly. Dr. Chalgren was efficient and made me feel comfortable in the midst of a dental emergency.

Fantastic experience: Amazing work and hospitality. Staff is extremely friendly and the dentist was amazing!!!

dan harri Published on Google

Fantastic experience: As most humans, going to the dentist is not very high on the list. Copper Country Dentistry is a class act. The cutting edge tools and technology makes it as pleasant as it can be. A bonus is most of the professional team calls you by your name and makes you feel comfortable and an appreciative client. Thank you for another painless appointment Dan Harri Harbor Haus

Floyd Kaiser Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Bob and his staff are excellent. After numerous radiation treatments for throat cancer. My gums are shrinking and they are really helping me save my teeth. They are the best.

Desarae Waara Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing. I have only had two appointments so far. But with all I've gotten done, I have to say 10/10 best dentist I've gone to in years! Staff is so welcoming, and friendly.

Jane Church Published on Google

Fantastic experience: A crown I had made and put on downstate by another dentist had come off. Dr. Chalgren's office was kind enough to find an appointment quickly where Dr Chalgren reattached the crown. I'm very appreciative of the care and service I received. Today I had my routine 6 month check up. I was thoroughly impressed with the check up. The dental hygienist not only did a careful job in checking my teeth but did it pain free. They also checked inside my mouth looking for anything out of the ordinary plus check-in neck and thyroid areas for irregularities. I left the appointment feeling highly confident that everything is fine. Thank you. I had my 6 month cleaning today. Laurie does such a fabulous and thorough job. She doesn't rush and is meticulous with her approach. She also gives me good feedback and tips to follow. I couldn't be more pleased.

Cherri Allen Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Look Ma, no cavities!! Always a PLUS!! :) The rest of the visit was very pleasant. All employees are friendly and knowledgeable. Cleaning was done in a timely manner followed by a check by the Dentist. They are very thorough, and I trust them totally. THANK YOU!

Jennifer Ellen Yugo Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Chalgren took care of an emergent dental situation when I had just moved to the area. He is always friendly, supportive, and leads with positive energy. I appreciate the efforts they have taken to be able to schedule patients closer to a six month time frame between cleanings, difficult in a less populated area. I spend a good amount of time in the Chicagoland area and alternate cleanings to be at max at six months (in the past I've been advised to consider cleanings at four months). While they have a waitlist system where they will text everyone openings as they come up, needing to respond to a text/email within moments of it coming sparks anxiety and can be challenging with work meetings and travel. I would pay a fee to be on a first-call list where a spot is reserved for me for 24 hours. Grateful to have this practice in our community!

Rudy Luck Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Rapid repair of a filling that had fallen out. Managed to get an appointment on the same day I called. Repair was fast and expertly done with no strange bite afterwards.

Karen Kilpela Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I had just moved to the area & my crown fell off. Copper Country Family Dentistry was able to get me in & did a great job putting my crown back in place. Everyone else I called would not see me as I wasn’t their patient. I plan to become a regular patient of Copper Country Family Dentistry.

J P Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Staff is incredibly kind and professional. Fillings and cleanings are practically pain free which I didn't realize was even possible before coming here. Absolutely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have had Dr Chalgren as my dentist since he was with Dr Moberg. He is a great dentist and grateful for him and all his staff. I like the fact that I can have the same dental hygienist each time I go in for a cleaning. Julia does a great job.

J K Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Chalgrin is a skilled dentist. He has done some difficult work for us and we are very happy with the results. I cannot recommend him highly enough.  Sandy, one of the hygienists at this office, is wonderfully thorough and gentile. She is a wonderful human all around. Both of these individuals have earned a loyal customer. To top it off the office clean and modern with new low radiation digital equipment.

Fantastic experience: Three awkward cavities filled. Front tooth had a visible cavity, then resurfaced beautifully. Desk staff and dental pros all very nice, all totally skilled. Very happy, relieved to have found a great dental clinic!

Xiaochu Ding Published on Google

Positive experience: It is a very nice dentistry with very well services. A little bit of space needing improvement is that the front desk can give more precise instructions on what documents and materials I shall bring to my first appointment. Overall, CCPD is a very nice dentistry for dental treatment.

Fantastic experience: From the front desk to the hygienist to the dentist, they are so kind and friendly! I only waited a few minutes in the waiting room and I was out of the chair within 45 minutes! Everything was explained well to me, and I always feel very comfortable there no matter what work I might have to have done.

T Frusti Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Only great things to say as I've been recommending CCFD to others for years. Always nerve wracking having to go to the dentist, but this has been my favorite place to go and I don't plan to ever change. They do Fantastic work and Quickly. Everyone I've interacted with are nice and polite, but the biggest positive is I've never felt judged or looked down upon. These reasons here is why I give CCFD 5-Stars and recommend them to you too.

Dusty Olson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Everything went smooth. Got in and out with no cavities

Erica Blasiola Published on Google

Fantastic experience: The hygienist was incredibly patient and helpful with my 4 year old. I brought my younger two kids along as well. Everyone was very friendly and patient with our chaotic family. They have a separate section of the waiting room with kids books and a rug for driving cars (bring your own cars). Overall a very pleasant experience!

Jessica Phillips Published on Google

Negative experience: UPDATE: in addition to the below experience, this dentist told me I needed two fillings. Because of my first experience I refused to go back and waited six months to finally get in to see another dentist in town who told me I had no cavities and absolutely do not need any fillings. I was shocked to know unnecessary dental work had been suggested. My first visit the dentist actually forgot about me for 30 minutes. He admitted it when he came back in the room. He said, “Oh, I forgot about you and had moved on to something else.” He was rather rough during my procedure for getting a crown and pretty inconsiderate of the fact that there was a person connected to the lips he was squishing and the mouth he was digging in. I was going to let that go and just deal with it bc let’s face it, the dentist is never fun anyway. But then today I went back for my permanent crown to be put on and when I left I looked in the mirror to see that I now have a gold tooth. I was told he doesn’t do porcelain white ones but that it would be kind of off white. I straight up have a gold tooth. So now I have to either deal with having a giant gold tooth in the back of my mouth or argue with them about his dishonesty in the first place and then sit through having the crown pried from my tooth and redone.
