Fantastic experience: This was my second visit here, and just like my first, it was great. This time my hygienist was Patty. She was gentle, thorough, knowledgeable and nice. Dr. Kent was very good too. He examined my teeth and patiently explained what he saw. The office was nice as well. Just outside the window were beautiful flowers and birds coming to feeders on the window. Who knew a visit to the dentist could be a Zen experience!

Fantastic experience: Very pleasant staff. Have never been in a dentist office where the staff has fun while at work. Had a tooth break. Dr Bennet took the time to explain the treatment plan for the tooth. Put a filling on it and also said he would request.pre-determination from my insurance company for a crown if the filling fails.

Fantastic experience: Switched to Dr Nicklas as prior dentist’s practice was taken over by a highly impersonal corporate group of dentists. Dr Nicklas’ office knows its patients by name. They acknowledge us as humans and provide highly personalized treatment. It ‘s been two years since we switched and it was the best decision we ever made. Highly satisfied!

It was a pleasure meeting you Justine, hope you have a great holiday season!
Fantastic experience: Very caring and professional staff. Highly recommended!
Positive experience: Been a patient of Dr. Nicklas for over 20 years. Always extremely happy with him and now also Dr. Bennett. Hygienists are pleasant and proficient at what they do. For the past couple of years, without explanation, they have gone to making you wait for 9 months for the bi-annual checkup. My insurance pays for 2 visits a year. When questioned I am told I can always call and see if there is a cancellation to get me in earlier. Please explain Dr. Nicklas?
Thank you for your concern. There is a national hygiene shortage. We are aware of the scheduling situation and doing our best to address it without sacrificing the quality and professionalism we expect from ourselves.
Fantastic experience: Been going to Dr. Nicolas for years. He is a great dentist never in a rush & concerned about your needs. The office people are friendly & always helpful to your needs. Highly Recommend!
Fantastic experience: Amazing to go and be fully confident that you are getting the best and right care. Appreciate how everything is explained and I am always part of the process. Excellent care. Highly recommend the staff and Drs Kent and Bennett!
Fantastic experience: Great dentist! I saw Tim, and he did an excellent job. I had a few small cavities filled, and the whole experience was quick and painless. He’s very skilled with a needle. I didn’t even feel the pinch. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and caring practice all around!
Fantastic experience: Called yo get an appointment fir a sore tooth. They took me in almost right away and diagnoses the problem quickly. Great team. Kind and gentle.
Thank you for the kind words Sandy! Hope you have a great weekend!
Fantastic experience: I have the most thorough teeth cleaning at Dr. Nicklas office comparing with my previous experience. I am very satisfied with the results.
Fantastic experience: I had an awesome exam with Dr Tim Bennet & his assistant, Cindy. It was very thorough, with excellent, informative, explanations about my teeth and needed procedures.. My questions were addressed and a plan was discussed and laid out for my care. Nothing was rushed! I couldn’t ask for better care! From the front desk greeting upon entry, to my exiting, I’d give Nicklas Dental an A+++…
Fantastic experience: I haven't been to a dentist in 15 or more yrs because of the bad experiences I have had with previous ones. My daughter told me about the staff at Dr Nicklas's office and how gentle they were. She was so right and Dr. Bennet his hygienic assistant and Denise all have been awesome! I will never go anywhere else for dental care. Denise is great as well with lining my dentures. She is very professional and makes the procedure a pleasant experience.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. Nicklas since I was a child (Niel then Kent). That should speak for itself since I am in my sixties now. Fabulous care- I would never switch. And I have dealt frequently with Denise - she’s a gem. Great practice!
Fantastic experience: All the staff is friendly. Dr Bennett is very personable. Explanations and reasons are provided - very educational. I moved half hour away, but will gladly make the drive for the excellent customer service.
Fantastic experience: Was very satisfied with the fast service I received at Dr Nicklas office . Denise was fantastic.
Fantastic experience: I needed an emergency fix on a chipped tooth. They were able to get me in right away and fixed my tooth. Excellent staff. They are the best.
Fantastic experience: Excellent. Work was quick, and painless. His whole staff did wonderful work.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bennet was friendly and professional. He spoke with me at length about my concerns. Judy was the tech who took my X-rays and was very nice also. I have found me dentist!
Fantastic experience: Best office, hands down. Bring your family and friends
Fantastic experience: I could not ask for a better dental team! I’ve had extensive work done by both doctors and have always felt comfortable before, during, and after each visit. The docs and their staff are always kind and take time to discuss various treatment options and prevention plans. Often times as a patient, I’ve been forced to choose between bedside manner and skill. That has never been the case at this practice, they are the whole package. I never feel like just another number. I wouldn’t dream of going to a different dental office. I already have the best!!!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was extremely professional. I haven't been to a Dentist that was so detail oriented. I'm glad I found this office.
Fantastic experience: Dr Nicklas and team are phenomenal! Dr Bennett is an excellent dentist! My Dental Hygienist is a delight! I even enjoy the music! Everyone is professional and friendly. I highly recommend Dr Nicklas and his team.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Nicklas for the last 20+ years. He takes care of my whole family. Our experiences with Dr.Nicklas have been exceptional. He and his team are skilled, but more so they care about us as people, not just patients. The community is blessed to have the practice and the people at the office of Dr. Kent Nicklas!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. Nicklas for 25+ years and have always had a good experience, whether I’m there for a cleaning or a dental issue. His referrals, when necessary, are always top notch.
Fantastic experience: Overall experience was excellent. Dental office has latest techniques and equipment. Staff members very caring and explained all procedures being used for my visit. 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: I had an emergency, my front tooth filling fell out. I called the office and they got me in that day and fixed me up. God Bless the staff there.
Fantastic experience: It’s just the best dental practice. All the staff are professional, kind, in tune with your comfort, alleviate any fear you might have about going to a dentist. I highly recommend this practice. It looks like Dr. Nicklas is gearing up for retirement and Dr. Bennett is just as great as Dr. Nicklas.
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about this office. They are the kindest and most caring staff I have ever met. I have always been nervous about going to the dentist for several reasons and have never had such a positive experience. I have had issues with my front teeth chipping constantly and although I wore braces as a teen for 4 years and I had to invest in Invisalign hoping it would change my issue with breaking my teeth. I honestly had not felt good about myself or smiled in more years than I can count. One day I chipped my front tooth again and decided to call and see if I could get in as a new patient thinking it would be at least a week or two away. The response I got shocked me to say the least. Not only did I get a same day appointment but I spoke to the most caring receptionist I have ever spoke to. I saw Dr. Bennet and his assistant Denise who made me feel like I was the most important person in the entire office! They took their time with me that day and several days after that when I again chipped my front teeth. To make a long story short, because I can’t say enough about them, I can finally smile with confidence for the first time in more than 30 years! If you’ve ever felt like I have do yourself a favor and go see them! You too will be glad you did!
Thank you so much for the kind words Simone - we love having you as a patient!
Fantastic experience: Great doctors great staff wonderful place always comfortable there
Fantastic experience: You will not find a more friendly, caring, knowledgeable, well run office. Everyone of the staff members on up to the doctors are great. It’s unusual in these times to find staff who know what they’re doing. The doctors are very skilled. I am a retired dental hygienist and I come back to Cleveland from out of state because I cannot find an office of this quality where I now live.
It's always great seeing you Karen!
Fantastic experience: Thorough and thoughtful. I’m a new patient and appreciated the staff, the service and the office environment.
Fantastic experience: Always great service. I have been a patient for years. Staff awesome both dentists!
