Relaxation Dental

Fantastic experience: In a day an age where customer service is gone this office is a breath of fresh air. The office and dental rooms are exceptionally clean and well designed. The staff including the dentist is friendly and they explain clearly what steps they are taking next and the exact cost allowing you to decline procedures you cannot afford. I highly recommend this dentist office.

Fantastic experience: Friendly people. Excellent staff. Thorough exam. They definitely want you to feel comfortable. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: I’m not sure if I’m getting too old and boring , but my trip to this dentistry was a good time. The people that work here have a real sense of humor. They made me laugh about life out loud. Of course they also helped me with my tooth. I wish them much continued success.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Brown and the staff at Relaxation Dental are very certious and attentave to my needs for dental care... This is my Dental provider. Thank you for the emergency care that the group provided me. See you soon. Best regards John S.

Fantastic experience: The team at Relaxation Dental are amazing! They make going to the dentist actually try to the name Relaxation. If your looking for great care go see them!

Fantastic experience: I was really impressed with how they treat first-time patients. You can tell they care about keeping people comfortable and at ease, and the dental work itself was solid. That goes a long way with me! Affordable too, and easy to reach and schedule with. Keep it up!

Fantastic experience: Everyone was concerned about my anxiety level and comfort. Everyone took time to listen and discussed the right course of action for me not necessarily the office's. Definitely would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at Relaxation Dental in Salida! From the moment I walked in, the entire staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. Everyone was incredibly friendly, patient, and took the time to make sure my individual needs were met, which made a huge difference in my overall experience. Dr. Brown was outstanding. He thoroughly reviewed my chart and X-rays with me, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand without ever making me feel rushed. I really appreciated how he took the time to answer my questions and made sure I felt informed about my dental health and treatment options. It’s clear that the team genuinely cares about their patients and goes above and beyond to provide personalized, compassionate care. If you’re looking for a dental office where you’ll be treated with kindness, respect, and professionalism, I highly recommend Relaxation Dental. I’m so glad I chose them and look forward to returning for my future dental care!

Positive experience: very accomodating and friendly. proactively reached out to accomodate appointments, and got me in fast due to an emergency. Only reasonf for not 5 star is had to pay out of pocket the whole balance. then they will submit to insurance on my behalf. In my experience, id rather not deal with figthing with insurance. so now i just cross my fingers that its covered. i totally understand their position, but it puts a real burden on the client.

Fantastic experience: Best Dentist I've ever seen! Very pleasant, very professional and very thorough. Caught some problems my previous dentist missed and caught them early. Saw for myself on the imaging. Totally transparent. Given options and advice so I could make the right choices. Will be staying with Relaxation Dental. Thank you Dr. Brown!

Fantastic experience: Really appreciate this practice. The staff are all amazing and Drs Brown and Walker are absolutely top notch. My husband and I have undergone treatments from fillings to dental implants and have been completely satisfied with the results. If you are looking for a dentist in the area, look no further and give them a try.

Positive experience: Extremely satisfied with promptness & care. So friendly & attentive! Wow! I loved my goody bag! Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Was in need of a place that would take care of my dental problems in a pinch and give me consistent follow ups and care and they delivered with amazing staff and service.

Fantastic experience: My first experience at Relaxation Dental, was great, all of the staff were amazing and made sure all of my questions were answered to my satisfaction!!

Fantastic experience: Very considerate of needs and small things like comfort that really make a difference. I also appreciate how quick they were with getting an appointment!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Brown's communication and dexterity are unrivalled.

Fantastic experience: Courtney was awesome for assisting today. Love the care here.

Fantastic experience: My son's temp crown fell out while we were overnighting in Salida. After calling, they accommodated us the next morning and fixed the problem for a reasonable price. Really appreciate this business and you should use them if you're local or passing through! Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Brown is great. He and his team gave me a clear action plan which has greatly improved my health. I highly recommend the team at Relaxation Dental.

Fantastic experience: I am 52 years old, and never have had dental work before. I also have debilitating anxiety and panic attacks. So with that being said, Dr. Brown and his crew were all about calming me down to get 3 teeth pulled. No medication, just their words, and true compassion. I could feel their empathy and they truly care. I will 100% be going back as needed

Positive experience: Great experience, can’t wait to get all my dental needs taken care of in a confident competent relatable and non judgmental staff and dentist team. Thanks! I’d be glad to give 5stars after they get through all my work;) .

Fantastic experience: I needed an emergency dental procedure and Relaxation Dental got me in promptly when the office was closed. They are responsive, professional and go above and beyond for high maintenance patients like me who are difficult patients!

Fantastic experience: I love Relaxation Dental the whole staff is so wonderful, Dr Brown and Dr Walker have been so wonderful with all my dental needs my husband Jonathan told me to come to Relaxation Dental because I needed a dentist in town and I was having some Dental issues. The whole staff treats you like family and they make sure that you are comfortable. Dr Brown, Dr Walker, Drew, Birdie, Gina, and Kendra and I'm so sorry if I forgot anyone else but thank you for being so wonderful and awesome to me. I love each and everyone of you all.

Fantastic experience: Huge thanks to the awesome staff at Relaxation Dental who saved a father/son trip to Colorado for hiking and golf after my son’s temporary crown fell off during the drive there. Relaxation got him in quickly for an appointment and everyone was very caring and kind. The reseating work did the trick and they were able to continue on their trip without worry. Highly recommend this clinic!

Fantastic experience: Not only was Relaxation Dental able to get me in quickly for an emergency visit, they were professional and kind. They made an unpleasant procedure as comfortable as possible and provided excellent service.

Fantastic experience: Very impressed with their skills and knowledge, and happy to have found my longterm dentist. Great service, and eased my nerves. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been taking my family to Relaxation Dental for years. They treat us like family. It’s really a special place.

Fantastic experience: Best dental experience. Really thorough! Highly recommend. Staff is excellent as well.

Fantastic experience: Get comfy this is a juicy one! Went to a practice in Buena Vista, with selective insurance ,in a nutshell was told “you’re gonna have to deal with it for a couple of weeks until your referral goes through.” no antibiotics, no temporary pain Relief offered…..fast forward three weeks later, I had been experiencing the worst pain of my entire existence! So just like a lot of other folks, going to a new practice, nerves were getting the best of me! I didn’t even have to feel out the vibe when I walked through the door! The energy in that building was so welcoming I forgot where I was! I’m bad with names, so I apologize in advance. The receptionist greeted me with top shelf courtesy, comfort and information immediately exceeding my expectations! (who by the way is a lifetime local, and extremely professional)Now money set aside, I will pay this crazy Canadian family money all day long and say to hell with my insurance from how pleasant and enjoyable My first visit with them was! I cannot stress how awesome this establishment is, I’ll be the first to admit that I have horrible credit…. I was approved to receive the help that I needed through one of their amazing lenders in about 10 minutes! With affordable payments of my comfort level, quick easy process! Although I couldn’t tell if I was smiling half the time I was there, jokes were being thrown around, good conversation and the highest amount of professionalism I have seen in this Valley ever! I’m pretty sure I was introduced to every employee in the building and greeted just the same as my first step through the door! If there were more stars to fill, they would be full, I highly recommend this place and whether they like it or not, they’re stuck with me! I cannot thank everyone enough @Relaxationdental for everything that went down today! PS: if it were up to me, everybody in that building would get a raise! And I almost forgot to mention I got a freaking gift bag full of goodies, super nice insulated growler, stylist pen, and one of those wire thingies you run through your hair that gives you the chills! along with a card.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Relaxation Dental was great. They got me quickly for an Emergency visit. Staff were kind and supportive. The dentist was also very helpful in explaining the procedure. If I lived near by, I would definitely have them as my primary dental office!

Fantastic experience: Workmanship I liked, everyone really nice, nice snack bar, atmosphere is relaxing, everyone listens to what I have to say. Thanks everyone

Fantastic experience: Relaxation Dental is very accommodating, and the customer service and treatment are by far the best- making sure I was comfortable without even being a patient yet, squeezing me into their busy schedule, as well as during the process of root canals. I highly recommend Relaxation Dental for any dental needs! Really grateful they were here to help and did a great job so far.

Fantastic experience: I was welcomed like an old friend when I got there, by anyone that came by. I have to drive an hour to get to the dentist office and it was worth it.. Dr. Brown was great. He took care of my issue and was very happy to discuss a few things with me which we will discuss in our next appointment. But it’s nice to know he is thinking of ways to help me with my dental needs. This is a great dental office, I would gladly recommend them to YOU!

Fantastic experience: Wow!!! what an incredible experience from the moment I was greeted by the front staff. They make it their goal to ensure the patients comfortability! Every single one of the staff at Relaxation Dental greeted me with a comfortable smile, offering a variety of things to ease my mind. Genuine, sincere kindness. I wasn’t just a number. I was a human with dental needs! They get it and treated me so wonderfully. ~I have to mention how blown away I was and still am at the doctor’s work!!! Never had a painless numbing injection before my appointment with Dr Brown. Not to mention, after my appointment I wasn’t numb all day and had zero pain. I feel blessed to have work done at this dental office!!! It was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be going back for further car. Highly recommended if you have dental anxiety! You can tell they take great pride in the care of their patients!!!

Fantastic experience: The folks are simply the best. From Drs. Brown and Walker to all the staff. Highest quality care, great service and genuinely good people.

Fantastic experience: Going to the dentists is typically very scary for me. However, my experience with Relaxation Dental completely blew me out of the water! Dr. Brown and his assistant Jessica are astonishingly kind and knowledgeable, and the entire staff went out of their way to make me feel welcomed and relaxed during my emergency visit, regardless of my lack of insurance. I was given a variety of tools to help me stay calm during my extraction- there was not a moment where I felt rushed, pressured, judged, or in pain. I would 10/10 recommend this practice to anyone and everyone in the Ark valley!

Fantastic experience: My first visit to relaxation dental was very nice. The employees there seemed very kind and competent. They started out by giving me a gift and a tour of their office! Dr Brown seemed especially nice and explained finding from my exam to me, and I went ahead with some recommended work, besides just a cleaning and exam, so that I didn't have to return at a later date. After leaving my prior practice after over 20 years, due to a move, I was nervous about finding a new dentist but I would now recommend Relaxation Dental!

Fantastic experience: The crew at Relaxation Dental are all so nice and friendly. The staff is knowledgeable and good at communication. They've helped me fix up pretty much my whole mouth as well as explore ways to better maintain my teeth. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have had many miserable experiences when at the dentist, but never at Relaxation Dental. The expertise, effectiveness and caring is unmatched. Can't say enough great things about the folks there!

Fantastic experience: The crew at Relaxation Dental, is amazing! I felt welcomed from the moment I stepped in the building. Drew and Dr. Brown made me feel comfortable with the treatment given and gave me an understanding of what future treatment I need. Kendra was very helpful in explaining the plan of treatment and financial responsibilities to me. Thank you everyone!

Fantastic experience: I had a dental emergency on Friday afternoon when my tooth broke. My regular dentist said they wouldn’t be able to see me for a month, or I could try their other location in a week, but even then they said treatment likely wouldn’t happen at that visit. I was worried about infection or exposing a nerve and felt I needed to be seen quickly. Relaxation Dental, however, got me in right away. They quickly diagnosed the issue, prepared a new tooth to be sent to the lab, and fitted me with a temporary the same day. They even stayed after hours on a Friday to make sure everything was taken care of and personally called me on Saturday to check in and make sure I was doing okay. Everyone in the office was incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment I first called through every interaction I had there. I’m so grateful for their care and responsiveness, and I’ll definitely be switching to Relaxation Dental going forward.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and informative. I felt they took my concerns into consideration and answered all my questions. Both the dentist and the dental hygienist were awesome! I would totally recommend them! I do not have dental insurance and they worked with me on payment options.

Fantastic experience: This was a great dental experience! Extremely friendly and professional staff, clean and relaxing environment, and very courteous, thoughtful, and informed dental team. They are generous with their time, amenities, and knowledge and I’m happy my whole family is here.

Fantastic experience: The staff is amazing !!!! The dentists are the best in salida colorado!!! Im truly amazed!!! Best Dental Service in salida colorado!!!

Fantastic experience: Great technician. Made my teeth cleaning experience very comfortable and pain free. Always appreciate a pain free dental visit.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience, as always. Dr. Brown is kind, upbeat and pleasant. Most importantly he is super competent and careful with how you feel, and how your teeth turn out. The very first time I saw him was several years ago, and he cleared a spot for me the SAME day because I’d cracked a tooth during breakfast. He has done fillings for me and even replaced a missing molar with an implant (no stress/no pain). Today, he filled in some tiny chips in my front teeth and it looks amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Brown and his staff, who are all so friendly and supportive.

Fantastic experience: I am a 100% disabled Veteran. Being in a remote community and subject to the VA gauntlet of obtaining reasonable and timely dental care has been exceptionally stressful. DR Brown having heard of my struggles opened an appointment for me in spite of a full schedule and provided the dental care I so despirately needed. His staff treated me as if I was the most important person of the day! The work DR Brown did was nothing short of amaZing. I arrived for my appointment feeling embarrassed and a little ashamed. I left feeling like I was wearing golden shoes. They brought me so much relief and hope and we all know hope is the muscle we forge forward with to higher places. Thank you to Relaxation Dental.

Fantastic experience: I called with an emergency and they were able to see me in the next day, even though I was not an established patient. Very professional, kind and informative. I have found our new dentist in town!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist. I can not recommend Relaxation Dental, the staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely found my new go to dentist!!

Fantastic experience: From the moment I stepped into Relaxation Dentistry, I knew I was in good hands. Their welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff immediately put me at ease. Under the expert care of Dr. Brown, I found that this highly regarded practice embodies the perfect blend of professional excellence and the warm, personal touch you'd expect from a small-town dentist. Dr. Brown took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure I understood my treatment options. The gentle techniques used during my appointment left me feeling relaxed rather than anxious. If you're looking for a dentistry that combines state-of-the-art care with the comfort of a hometown atmosphere, I cannot recommend Relaxation Dentistry and Dr. Brown highly enough! They truly go above and beyond for their patients I’ve never before been to a dentist office under one roof that did it all, from a simple exam, cleaning, tooth extraction, root canal, bone grafting, post insert and 3D modeling for the perfect fit. Amazing services. Edward on the River, Salida

Positive experience: Employees very friendly and helpful and caring. Nice clean office. 01/13/2026 update...changes in office procedures have changed my opinion. This office will not book any appointments, even cleaning, without a $50 deposit! So if you schedule 6 months or 8 months ahead your $50 that's there and doesn't collect interest or anything. Then when you make your next appointment while you are there, they keep your $50 so if you continue to make appointments you have Ashley donated $50 until you either die or change dennis. I think this is obscene unbelievable and basically fraud. Beware and maybe you'd want to start with a different dentist office that doesn't have this type of deposit to make an appointment.

Fantastic experience: Always outstanding dental care and the professional and talented staff is incredible - Thanks Again Armand

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough great things about Dr Brown and his entire team. Always patient, kind and friendly. Even faced with a major procedure they put your mind at ease, and in my case patiently answered my multitude of questions. They also send you off with thorough post op instructions which in the past I’ve had to google myself. My dental journey has been a long and difficult one, but Dr Brown has me on track for success. So grateful to Relaxation Dental, Dr Brown and the entire team!

Fantastic experience: We moved to Salida a year ago, and I had not chosen a new dentist, but my husband had been to Relaxation. The week before Christmas I had a crown pop off. Even though they (and every other dentist in town) were super busy, they told me to come in the next morning. They were running on a skeleton crew- just Dr. Brown, Jess and Kendra. The old crown needed to be replaced, but I wasn’t in pain, so they could have sent me home and scheduled it later, but they took care of me that day. There were a bunch of emergencies and they took care of everyone. They were all so personable, kind and caring, not to mention amazing at what they do. Just another reason why we love living in Salida. I highly recommend Dr. Brown and Relaxation Dental.

Fantastic experience: The entire staff was very considerate & kind regarding my dental anxiety. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: This place is absolutely amazing. The staff is great and the environment is great. Im honestly terrified of dental places. I had a few traumatic things happen which made it to where I was very scared to get an extraction done, that I needed out for many years. I found relaxation dental and I am so blessed I found them. They are about making sure people are comfortable and taken care of. They truly care about their patients! I ended up finally getting my extraction done and I couldn't be more thankful for Dr. Walker, Dr. Brown and the whole entire staff for being so supportive and encouraging.

Fantastic experience: My experience at Relaxation Dental was the least stressful part of my day. They are very solution-focused and helped me through the process from beginning to end with incredible customer service. They fixed some other dental work and my bite is the best it's ever been. Their prices match the quality provided. I spent more money going first someplace less expensive because, in the end, I had to pay for the work to be redone 2-5 years later by the competent professionals at Relaxation Dental. I could immediately tell the difference, and it's clear this investment will pay for itself many times over in the years to come. I recommend them to anyone looking for quality dental care and a first class customer experience.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about how kind the staff and Dr. Brown are. They took us in for an emergency same day and solved the issue. We have probably tried most of the dentists in town over the years and Relaxation Dental staff are the most professional, non-judgmental and calming by far. There’s no comparison. Thanks you guys ♥️

Fantastic experience: Best experience at a dentist office ever and I'm 53. I would definitely refer Relaxation Dental.

Fantastic experience: excellent experience. staff was kind and thoughtful. Dr. Brown listened to what was important to me and talked me through it all. loved the 'comfort menu'. warm blanket, pillow, TV on ceiling... what more could you want.

Negative experience: This experience was not great I wouldn’t recommend coming here. There was no one there to check me in for my appointment which is odd for a medical office. So I called to let them know I was there for an appointment and they honestly seemed annoyed with me. The next person I interacted with was nice enough but had no formal dental hygienist education and had been trained on the job, which is no fault of his but this practice claims to have higher trained staff than other dental offices. When I finally met the dentist he had his assistant relay information to him rather than asking me questions himself which truthfully was the most awkward interaction of the whole appointment mostly because the information was not relevant to my teeth and was about my hobbies ? They seem to be focused more on gimmicks like having tvs on the ceiling and offering rewards for writing reviews than the actual dentistry. Also if your going to be giving gift bags to new clients, maybe try something useful like toothpaste or a toothbrush, not a cheap head scratcher and coffee mug I don’t need?

Fantastic experience: The team at relaxation dental is so fantastic! From the doctors to the dental assistants to the front desk folks! I would recommend this office to anyone :)

Fantastic experience: First day at Relaxation Dental today. Great experience from check in to departure. That is not how I normally describe a dental appointment. Everyone went out of their way to make you feel welcome and cared for. Very professional and informative as well. So good to find a great Dental Team right here in Salida!

Fantastic experience: Drew, Ian, Kendra and Dr. Brown were very friendly & knowledgeable and made sure I understood everything that was happening during my appointment. I highly recommend Relaxation Dental.

Positive experience: Was very informative and honest but a lot more than I’m willing to pay but the experience and knowledge Dr Brown has was excellent and a very nice man

Fantastic experience: One of the most professional, kindest, down to earth, coolest and hip staffs I’ve see in years!!!! I mean that across the board of all professions. . Felt like home and my blood pressure was dropped immediately when I walked in the door, whereas that’s never been the experience for me at a dental office. 11 ⭐️’s to the whole crew across the board, and I couldn’t be happier. One Love Relaxation Salida Team ️

Fantastic experience: The staff was wonderful and accommodating. I was from another state traveling on vacation and had a dental emergency and they were able to get me in quickly! The manager herself came up from downstairs and did my dental work!! Very impressed. She did a great job and was so nice and kind. My procedure was completed and I was able to continue on with my travels. Highly recommend Relaxation dental.

Fantastic experience: . I had to come in for a dental emergency, and the whole team at Relaxation Dental was absolutely amazing! Everyone was so kind, encouraging, and thorough truly a luxury dental experience. They helped me navigate a scary tooth issue with such care and compassion. As a mom of four little ones, I was so thankful they could see me quickly without having to drive all the way to the big city. I was able to get an appointment within just a few days of reaching out online. I’m beyond grateful for their help and can’t recommend them enough!

Positive experience: Great Emergency Dental Services! I was an out-of-state visitor that had a gum sore which made it painful to even swallow a glass of water. I was able to schedule an appointment for 2 1/2 hours after I called. The friendliness and customer service of the staff from the moment I walked through the door was unbelievable. Both dentists I talked to seemed knowledgable and competent. Dr. Walker was able to instantly diagnose my issue. In my case, there were two different avenues of treatment, one more expensive and invasive than the other. After consulting, the doctor recommended the less expensive and invasive route -- something that earned more of my confidence. He even gave me his cell number in case my pain worsened over the upcoming weekend. A word on pricing: The staff were very upfront about pricing. I found the fee for an emergency visit limited exam reasonable. However, it was a little unusual that they wanted payment up front, before I even stepped into the office. (Most places bill insurance first.) Also, I found the estimate for the more invasive treatment (which we both agreed not to do at this time) to be rather high, even when greatly discounted from the "book" price. I have no comparison, no experience with this, but the price estimate for a minor surgical procedure was as much as I have paid at previous places for a whole crown (including all related visits).

Fantastic experience: I really appreciated the comprehensive cleaning that I got today. Nicole is a great dental hygienist and Dr Walker spent a lot of time explaining helpful breath work and other ways to improve my teeth and jaw tension. They are nice prople too!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Relaxation Dental! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I usually hate going to the dentist, but Dr. Walker and Ian (his assistant) were absolutely fantastic and made me feel so comfortable. Ian even patted my shoulder to calm me and distract me while Dr. Walker massaged my gums, which made the numbing shot so much easier to handle—something I’ve always dreaded. Everyone here was amazing from start to finish. Drew at the front desk, noticed my high anxiety (I was rubbing the top of my hand) and he came and brought me a squishy stress ball that I held and played with the rest of the time! Between that, Ian’s shoulder patting and the doctors rubbing of the gums made this whole process awesome! Gina, and the entire team were so kind, patient, and truly caring. They really listen and go above and beyond to make sure you feel safe and comfortable. For the first time ever, I actually felt relaxed at the dentist. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: This practice deserves the credit that is due. Birdy, Dr. Walker, Kendra and a brown-haired gentleman whose name I am unfortunately blanking on now... Were all truly, truly incredible. I could not have anticipated just how lovely, helpful, genuine and kind these healthcare professionals are. I came in from the CT fried, exhausted, and with a broken tooth. They helped me immediately and the cost was affordable. I'm blessed and grateful to have come across Relaxation Dental. Bonus points for having three different types of water for patients, btw (: Thank you again, I am free to continue onward with my hike again, and you have no idea how much that means to me.

Fantastic experience: My dental problems are rather complex and I anticipate more than ordinary restoration. Given the attention to detail provided at Restoration and the overall vibe of the office I feel immediately that l was led to the ideal place. Their in-office insurance compares favorably with other plans. I was attracted to their discounted initial visit and I've encountered no disappointments.

Fantastic experience: Im so happy to have found Relaxation Dental in Salida. I popped my crown off last night while flossing (crown is from another dentist) and am headed off to vacation tomorrow. They were able to see me and fix it within a few hours of my call for help. The entire staff is amazing, facility is state of the art and the dentists are fantastic! They've won me over and I've already scheduled my next cleaning with them.

Fantastic experience: Wow everyone what a team here! I went in for just a recrown and dr. Brown found i had a small cavity there and he gave me multiple options on how we should go about fixing the tooth issue and explained things so easy to understand. I will absolutely highly recommend relaxation dental for very nice, and so effective and efficient team they are! Dr brown is awsome! Thank you all for such a great visit!!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Walker and the staff are top notch. They always welcome me by name, remember information about me. The care for my teeth is wonderful and they always make sure I'm ok during any of the cleaning. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I have been to Dr Brown a couple of times now for different dental procedures. Today was my first cleaning with them. They didn’t do the traditional poking and scraping that leaves my teeth clean, but also leaves them feeling very tender and sore for at least a day. Dr Brown used a tiny, powerful jet of water that was sort of like a power washer for teeth. There was NO pain during or after the cleaning and my teeth feel great! Thanks to all the great people at Relaxation Dental in Salida CO…I would recommend you guys to everyone!!!

Fantastic experience: I’m pleased with the bonding Dr.Brown did and he’s friendly. The dental assistants and receptionist are professional and make good conversation.

Fantastic experience: I had a lot of anxiety with dentists my whole life, which led to me avoiding them altogether as an adult. But the team at Relaxation Dental, especially Dr. Walker, Ian and the lovely man at the front desk (I’m sorry I forgot your name!) have always made me feel very welcome and calm. My apprehension around dental work is almost completely gone and I appreciate how well everything is explained and talked through before and after each procedure. Thanks so much to Dr. Walker and all the awesome people at Relaxation!

Fantastic experience: Staff is great! Had a filling done, (no fun) but shots were not painful and fillings perfect. Dr Brown was accommodating to my requests. No issues following day, no soreness, etc. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Talk about a dream come true! Dr. Brown and his whole team are amazing to their core. I came into the office with a vision of what I wanted done and they surpassed my wildest dreams. They made me want to smile big in pictures again! Cannot thank Relaxation Dental enough for my dream smile!

Fantastic experience: Kind, cordial, professional, attentive to my needs. Recommend. Dental insurance plan they offer is working out great for me and my family. No need for Delta Dental insurance any longer that didn't pay for much anyway.

Fantastic experience: Very efficient and kind, high-quality service. Both Drs are highly knowledgeable and answer all of my questions. They do offer many opportunities to save a little money, which really helps. I have been coming here for years and when my husband decided to shop around again he did his research and came right back. I couldn't afford dental care for a long time but they never shamed me for the cavities I had collected and made the lengthy filling sessions as comfortable as possible with music, blanket, sunglasses, even chairs with a massage function! I am doing orthodontics now with the new Spark system and am so grateful to have a team that is working with cutting edge techniques in this rural setting. Highly recommend this team.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been under the care of Relaxation Dental for many years as I navigate my dental needs. Thank you Dr. Walker for bringing your clarity, expertice and generous spirit to meet me in the moment with confidence. I know I'm in good hands. The entire staff at Relazation dental is both professional and personal. Relaxation Dental is an exceptional dental practice. Thank you all.

Fantastic experience: I have been so pleased with Relaxation Dental. They fit me in for an emergency procedure as a new patient. Their work is medically exacting, precise, & cosmetically pleasing. That would bring any patient back in itself, but a giant bonus is that the entire staff, from personable Drew at reception to the expertise of both dentists & the artistry of Jess, everyone there were so kind and personable. They set a great example to follow.

Fantastic experience: As a new patient, during our consultation I loved how we were given time & important information explained so well. We were able to ask questions & felt cared for. Lovely office & staff, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Relaxation Dental truly lives up to its name, providing a calming experience from start to finish. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, ensuring that my partner felt at ease. Their flexible payment options made our emergency dental care accessible, which is a gigantic plus. We needed an urgent extraction, and the team went above and beyond by scheduling him two days earlier than planned to address his emergency pain. The procedure was handled with great care, reinforcing the professionalism and compassion of the Dr. and his team. Lastly, the clinic was cute, clean and smelled fantastic. Overall, a top-notch dental experience!

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Dr. Brown and his team for their sensitive, loving care. I have been with them for years and plan to continue. I have a severe dental anxiety which makes any trip to the dentist something I dread. Dr. Brown understands and makes it possible for me to make myself go to the dentist on a regular basis. The whole team works together like a family to make me feel comforted and secure. If you have the same kind of anxiety (you know who you are!) you owe it to yourself to let the team at Relaxation Dental help you to get the care you know you need!

Fantastic experience: The staff were excellent they made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Fit me in on an emergency and worked around my schedule the rest of the time. They made sure I never felt any pain during the root canal and the crown fits perfect. Dr Brown was nice enough to do some other work and did not charge me for it. I highly recommend relaxation dental!

Fantastic experience: If you have a clearly defined business model for a Dental practice based on instilling trust in the doctors and maximum comfort for the patient, this is the place for you. Highly impressive communication skills from the doctors and state of the art treatments. I was so impressed with this place , I recommend to all my friends and family.

Negative experience: Amending a contract is just that an amendment. Your can't say "give me money" BEFORE giving an appointment to charge for services not yet received much less allow your employees to INSULT clientele by proclaiming them as thieves because they don't want to pay for services that HAVEN'T even been scheduled. Yes, the front desk employee said "we find that if you pay in advance for an appointment you actually show up..." EXCUSE ME... saying I am stealing time and must pay when I was given a document stating payment received when services are rendered but demand payment before an appointment and accusing me of thieving and dishonesty. If you value yourself in anyway... go ANYWHERE but here. Another patron paid in advance $3000 for an appointment reassured that it would be refunded when insurance was billed but NO ONE EVER billed and he suffered great losses. They are the liars and theives but accuses potential clientele. Do not go here!

Negative experience: I went for my son's first appointment and was given an estimate for a 2nd consultation. When told I MUST pay at least 50% before an appointment being scheduled they presented me with a child's 'scribble' signature saying I agreed to this arrangement, however, when presented with the 2nd consultation (why we need 2...?) I showed where it stated in the "new" estimate that it says payment due at time of treatment the man was rude and treated me as trash... literally (like I need to get to the dumpster, seriously) So stated the issues but the AMENDED print out given to me at the end of the appointment changed the original agreement (not signed by me) and they REFUSED TO HONOR IT! It's highlighted "payment due at time of treatment" NOT before! Wouldn't recommend but will consider legal action based upon tort laws.

Fantastic experience: Relaxation Dental folks are like family. Everyone is kind, considerate, skillful and efficient. A perfect combination of wisdom and compassion in action.

Fantastic experience: Never in my life have I ever felt so welcome and cared for by any medical facility. That is until I walked through the door at Relaxation Dental. The most polite, professional, and accommodating staff you will ever experience! I actually look forward to my next visit! THANK YOU!!! ❤️ Update: I returned this morning for a tooth extraction and I was completely blown away by how comfortable they made the entire process! I am so very grateful for the staff and services at Relaxation Dental!

Fantastic experience: For the past 20 years, I have dreaded going to see any dentist. I have 3 autoimmune conditions that can cause serious dental issues. I’ve been told by most dentists and rheumatologists that I would soon have to have either implants or dentures to replace all of my teeth. Every time I would go in, it would be more bad news. I felt basically that was just a ‘problem’ patient with so many issues that it didn’t really matter what I had going on, that I just needed to be written off as a `lost cause.’ I hesitated to go to Relaxation Dental due to the fact that it would be out of pocket for my treatment, as opposed to being able to walk out with my insurance covering most or all of my payment upfront from other dentist offices. (Relaxation Dental does file your insurance for you, though.) However, I also felt I wasn’t receiving the attention I really needed for my condition from other dentists I have seen. I decided to make an appointment and just have a consultation to see what they thought could be done in my `condition’. To say I was totally TAKEN by the attention, care, and concern I received from BOTH Dr. Brown and Dr. Walker, as well as their AMAZING staff is probably the utmost understatement I’ve ever given. I was literally blown away from the minute I met them. I have NEVER had any dentist pay attention to me and take me serious like they did. They took the time to listen to everything I said, including the history of what I’ve gone through in the last 20 years. They cared. They actually cared. They both took a look at my teeth, consulted with each other, and both agreed that they could actually SAVE my teeth. I fully thought they were going to tell me that it was time to begin the implant or denture process. For once, I’ve been given hope, even an actual POSITIVE outcome that I might be able to have ‘normal’ teeth with their recommended treatments. My appointment for my consultation was at 1:30, and they literally worked with me until almost 5:30 to start the process for me. I was given all of the numbers of what it would cost me upfront in private before we proceeded with any given treatment. I was also offered a few different credit avenues if I needed any info. I never once felt pressured. I did however feel empowered from their positivity and determination to help me. Their upmost concern was to make me comfortable and keep me informed through the entire time I sat in their chair. I was given a pillow, offered a warm blanket, something to drink, and asked me repeatedly what they could go to make me as comfortable as possible. I could see my x-rays on the screen above me, and I was shown and given a thorough explanation for everything that concerned them and what the treatment would be needed to address it. I was asked repeatedly if I had any questions. It felt as if I was in a dental spa! They all had an amazing sense of humor, also. It was FUN. I had many laughs! For the first time in 20 years, I have a whole new positive outlook on not only being able to have `normal’ teeth, but that they will actually be MY teeth! I actually look forward to my next DENTIST appointment with them! Who would have thought!? My ONLY regret is that I wish I would have gone to Relaxation Dental when I first heard of them instead of waiting until now! I would’ve been a lot further along than I am now, but I am so thankful that I went and beyond grateful for their help! I highly recommend if you have not given them a try, do yourself a favor…a HUGE favor… and make the call for a free consultation! You won’t be disappointed! I simply cannot thank both Doctors and their staff enough for their each and every effort on my behalf.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Brown and his staff are absolutely amazing! The front and back staff are very friendly and welcoming. They have essential oils to help calm. They also have options like a blanket and fidget toys for the little ones and a TV on the ceiling to watch whatever you want My 6 year old daughter was terrified of going to the dentist because she had a horrible experience from her previous dentist. Dr. Brown calmed all her fears and explained all the tools he was using along with letting her touch them. Dr. Brown is truly amazing, caring and compassionate about what he does. My daughter is no longer fearful of the dentist and is excited to go back to Dr. Brown!!

Fantastic experience: Was my first time going to the dentist in a long time! The staff made making an appointment fun and easy, checking in was a breeze. Once in the chair the staff was friendly and thorough in the exam! Never once was there an awkward moment. My teeth felt so clean and cared for by the end of the visit. Would 100% recommend coming here! The staff if what makes this place great!

Fantastic experience: First time patient at relaxation dental, I have to say the customer service was incredible! Everyone was so warm and welcoming. I went in for a broken bracket on my braces and they were so patient and understanding. Dr. Brown and his team fixed me right up!

Fantastic experience: My daughter had an emergency over the weekend and even though we are first time patients and came in from Canon City, ALL the staff have been phenomenal. We were able to talk to both dentists on a Sunday evening late and they have done everything they could to help us. Probably the best dental experience we’ve ever had. They did everything they could to make her comfortable as well me bringing her to their office. Multiple phone calls and texts to check on her. Thank you so much for helping us!!
