Silver Lake Dentistry

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my visit today! The hygienist was so kind. I was very pleased with the doctor. I never felt like I was being upsold anything I didn’t need. The doctor was friendly and professional. I requested to add the laser therapy to my procedure. My previous dentist charged 3X the amount for laser therapy… I look forward to returning in the future!

Fantastic experience: Yesterday was my first time visiting, and it was absolutely awesome! My dental hygienist, Brandy, was excellent—she did a very thorough job, and I can truly feel how smooth my teeth are now. Thank you, Brandy; you are, without a doubt, the absolute best! The assistant was outstanding as well, taking all the pictures with great efficiency. The front desk staff was very kind. I don’t have any issues with my teeth, and I appreciate the brief meeting with the doctor after the exam. Everyone in the office was very professional and friendly!

Fantastic experience: I met Dr. Josh and his staff today (Tuesday, May 27) for the first time after calling over the holiday weekend (Memorial Day) after experiencing a dental emergency. Dr. Josh demonstrated professionalism, customer service accompanied by an informative guidance. Dr. Josh kindly fit me into his schedule the following day to address my pain. Jennifer (Dr. Josh's assistanat) also demonstrated a caring, knowledgable and skilled approch to customer care. If your looking for a dental practice: LOOK NO MORE, this dental team is the real-deal. Thank you Dr. Josh and Jennifer for your exceptional care and service.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Silver Lake Dentistry is very friendly, helpful and professional. I also appreciate the adult dental membership offered by them.

Fantastic experience: I will highly suggest Silver Lake to anyone I know that needs dental work, or who's looking for a new Dentist. I've recently had some Crowns put it, and they have been more than helpful with any questions, concerns, and they make sure everything is done right. Thank you for all the help!

Fantastic experience: I can only say great things about Dr. Whitford and his staff! Dr. Whitford is very compassionate to patients who dread going to the dentist and he is incredibly knowledgeable and keeps up-to-date with the science of dentistry and novel products. The medical and admin staff are very pleasant and accommodating as well! I cannot recommend this practice enough!

Negative experience: Beware- they will cancel you as a patient if you miss an appointment! They said I had 5 missed appointments and said they no longer want me as a patient. I have asked for the proof of the 5 missed appointments they claim I had done but yet to receive those. I respect other peoples time and today was just a honest mistake. I don't think it warranted kicking me to the curb as a patient ! Pretty sure there is some miscommunication in this office and our family will gladly take our business elsewhere and they can have the day they deserve. Received the email back showing I missed 2 appointments. Last one was in December when I did try to reach them and no one answered or responded to my text. I even asked them if they was closed on vacation because No One was responding to me. They apologized but had no clue I was being held as a no show. Two other appointments was cancelled prior to the appointment. Anyway - not worth my time or energy. If this is how they do business - C- ya !

Negative experience: It’s been about 9 months since I’ve been to this office. And the ramifications have only gotten worse. I got quit a few fillings that needed to be filled, but because of child care needed to do them all at once. They said it would be okay, knowing that I came in with a lot of potential tmj pain. They still said it was okay to do at once. Well after getting my fillings filled and my bite adjusted twice from it I’ve been in incredible pain. Adjusting your bite for those with tmj is difficult because your jaw goes in different positions and they sawed down too much teeth when in incorrect positions. My bite is completely messed up. My whole right side teeth touch way sooner and is completely uneven from the left side. This has cause tremendous amount of pain. Additionally keeping my mouth open for as long as it took for that much dental work at once cause trauma to my jaw. And now my jaw is remaining out of its sockets. Now I have to spend THOUSANDS TO FIX THIS. I need a splint, my entire bite fixed and more. The uneven bite is going to cost a lot to fix and I don’t even know how to start that. I’ve been in pain everyday since this appointment.

Fantastic experience: We, along with our 7 kids, have been going here for 12 years now. We are happy with the honest, conservative dentistry services we receive. They are almost always running on time and everyone is friendly. The kids like going to the dentist so that says something. All around excellent.

Fantastic experience: Bailey is one of the best hygienists in the area. We have coverage for visits every 90 days, and always a clean fresh feeling. Cannot forget about Doctor Josh and his Sister too! Wonderful and professional staff.

Negative experience: Don't trust anything they say.

Negative experience: Silver lake lied about the amount that I would be charged. Be aware that you will be charged a different price than they estimate.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, on time and quick. A+ for the Silver Lake team!

Fantastic experience: Dentist visit isn't one of my favorite things to do. The staff at Silver Lake is always inviting and always makes me feel comfortable. I drive 30 min past countless other offices to go to a place where the staff makes me feel welcomed and no guilt.

Fantastic experience: It was as relaxing as it can be getting a crown on your tooth. They are very friendly from the greeting at the door to getting the job on the tooth done and making the payment for the work that was done. I love going to this office. There is no pressure and they are all wonderful to work with.

Fantastic experience: I seriously never felt so welcomed and comfortable at a dentist office before I came here and met Dr. Jess! She is literally the sweetest. The hygienist with the long hair as well, always makes me feel so comfortable. The previous place I was going to (on the plaza) was obviously just trying to max out my insurance so when I found Silver Lake and Dr. Jess I was worried the same would happen, but literally the first visit she was like “your teeth are perfect!” I knew I could trust her. Fully recommend.

Fantastic experience: My experience was excellent!!! I felt the staff members listened to exactly what my purpose was coming in and answered all my questions 100%. They have a very professional staff who deeply cares for their patients. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend Silverlakes Dentistry. 5-stars all the way! Thank you again, Balinda.

Fantastic experience: The staff is always very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service and I am very happy with this place and their staff. Every time I go in, staff is always very professional, polite and super friendly. I am glad that I picked Silver Lake Dentistry for my family's dental needs.Keep up the great job! Thank you very much !

Fantastic experience: Bailee has a great personality and skill set to match. Dr. Josh and the team all have outstanding customer service skills.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Very personable and professional.

Fantastic experience: Every single person was truly a joy to speak with! That's why I chose this place to begin with. From the very first time I spoke to their front desk receptionist she was warm, HELPFUL, and with a nice sense of humor. They all actually seem to have a great sense of humor and were just very easy to connect with and talk to. My teeth look amazing and they took my needs into great consideration while working. Happy to call them my new dental home.

Fantastic experience: Great people! Professional, efficient, friendly, caring. Comfortable and inviting.

Fantastic experience: My first time with Bailee and she did a fabulous job on my teeth. Mine aren’t the easiest, I create lots of plaque. They feel so good now! Thanks Bailee.

Fantastic experience: I am very grateful for the team of staff here. Compassionate and gentle support from everyone i have had the opportunity to meet. Our family has three generations of patients who have had dental work here. I highly recommend the Dr's and hygienist that practice here.

Fantastic experience: Jessica was so helpful! My insurance changed and even though she is the dentist and doesn’t typically process insurance, she took the time out to listen to my concerns and looked up my coverage for me prior to beginning my appointment. She was extremely kind and communicative throughout my visit and made it quick and easy! I always have an easy time and leave with peace of mind after visiting Silver Lake Dentistry

Fantastic experience: Had a emergency. They got me in and took care of the problem. Called back with a few questions. They were more than happy to answer any and all question. Thanks for the help.

Negative experience: Referred by my husband, he went here as a teen. First ever appointment was great. Staff was nice, experience was good. I cancelled one appt the day of and now I have to pay a non refundable $100 deposit for any new appointment I schedule, even if its just a routine cleaning that my insurance pays for. Husband missed/cancelled 6 appointments in 2019 (not on my insurance), he has to pay a non refundable $50 deposit for any new appointment, even if its just a routine cleaning that my insurance would pay for. It doesn't go towards anything, we literally have to pay to schedule an appointment. I'm a little person so I'm sure they don't care about this review, but if my service is free, why would I pay $50/$100?Health/Dental insurance is already robbery and this is just more robbery. Ill pass.

Fantastic experience: New dentist visit for me! Doctor took time to answer my questions. Hygienist was careful, thorough and pleasant. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Great!

Fantastic experience: I was so pleased with the friendly service and thoroughness of Dr and hygienist. I always feel relieved after moving to a new area, when I find the right medical/dental facility on the first try. This was one of those finds. I went in for a cleaning (was great), and the Dr checked and answered pre-visit concerns. The office was very clean.

Fantastic experience: I just went to Silver Lake Dentist office for the first time and I was very pleased with my experience. The front desk staff was very nice. I really enjoyed talking to my hygienist. She was also very clear and informative about what she was doing. Then, the dentist was very nice and professional. I am very glad that I made the switch from my previous dentist.

Fantastic experience: The best place ever! Brandy always takes such great care of me and makes my visit fun each time! It’s always nice catching up and being remembered when I walk into a place! Dr. Whitford and his team are just some of the best around! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Dr. Whitford and his staff do their very best to make sure he is able to work with his patients whether it is a regularly scheduled appointment or an emergency.

Fantastic experience: I have very sensitive teeth and very anxious about changing hygienist after my prior dental hygienist retired at another location after 15+ years. I cannot express how professional and kind the entire staff was from start to finish. My new hygienist, Brandy, was beyond kind & supportive- and did an excellent job- taking her time to be comforting. The Dentist afterwards checked on me and as just as kind & professional. I highly recommend Silverlake Dentistry!

Fantastic experience: Silver lake is always knowledgeable, kind and professional! We've been going here almost 4 years now.. In fact we usually have double insurance coverage and for some reason they are out of network on one of our insurances but we didn't care, we'd prefer to pay out of pocket to keep the comfort we have with Silver Lake.

Fantastic experience: Everything went smoothly from the minute I walked in until I walked out. The staff was very friendly when they greeted me. The hygienist was very nice and did a great job and worked very quickly and efficiently. The Dentist did a final check and answered any questions I had. A great group of people that really care about the patient. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly, kind and attentive.

Fantastic experience: Have been going to this dentist for at least 8 years.....Dr. Joshua Whitford and his staff have always been top notch

Fantastic experience: My first experience as a new patient at Silver Lake Dentistry was amazing! Brandy was my hygienist, and as someone who has really sensitive teeth, she was so gentle! My teeth have never felt cleaner. She was super personable and I felt at ease. Dr. J was really nice and thorough also! I will definitely be making Silver Lake Dentistry my new dental home.

Positive experience: Dr. Whitford and his staff are very professional and very nice would highly recommend them. Lettie is the best. Thank you guys for taking care of the whole family

Fantastic experience: Very friendly Dr. and staff. They make sure the patient is their first priority and that the patient's questions are fully answered. I would highly recommend Silver Lake Dentistry to family and friends.

Fantastic experience: I've been a patient with Silver Lake since they opened in Raymore. Dr. Whitford and his team are always kind and I've never had to wait when I arrive for appointments. I broke a tooth, they had me in the office within 2 days. Thank you Silver Lake.

Fantastic experience: Myself and my two children have been coming here for the last couple years. We've always had great service, no billing issues & skilled professionals willing to fully explain the procedures. The cost of procedures was inline with other dentist around the area quoted.

Positive experience: Awesome staff and it was great to get me in on such short notice - thank you!!

Fantastic experience: They are all nice and helpful from the time you enter the door until the time you leave. During the time of the work, they explain what they are doing and making sure you are okay. I hate the dentist but with this group, I love it!!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this place! Everyone there is super nice! They always go above and beyond to make you feel satisfied! Definitely recommend !

Fantastic experience: Staff is always on top of things. Everyone is friendly, helpful and professional. I had a dispute of charges during one of my daughter's visit and they corrected it right away. Dr Josh is always comforting , I have a anxiety toward dental work. He's always patient and everyone is compassionate in the office and exam areas.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Whitford is funny & inviting!! Dental work is always annoying so it's good to have a dentist with such great bedside manner! All the support staff are always kind and thorough & the option to watch TV during the appointments is nice to keep your mind off your bummer cavities! 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Best family practice in the area. Dr Josh is amazing and so nice. They are always adding new services to make your dental appointments enjoyable and convenient. The hygienists are top notch. I have never been excited to go to the dentist, but going to Silver Lake is like visiting friends.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place for dental care. First of all, it’s an extremely comfortable atmosphere. Front desk staffers are friendly and attentive on the phone and in person. The hygienists/assistants are personable and reassuring while being efficient and professional. You get the impression they are happy to be a part of this team and seem to communicate easily with one another. I am a patient of Dr. Josh Whitford. He is direct and confident yet friendly and I feel in capable hands. I have had many different dental issues over the six years I’ve gone here and he has compassionately led me through them a step at a time. I like his sense of humor and kind manner. I have had excellent dental care at Silver Lake and consider it a blessing to have such professionalism in Raymore!

Positive experience: Friendly fast and pain free! Everyone very knowledgeable and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Good experiences all around.....Staff all inclusive ....very polite and welcoming.. Dr Whitford very professional and caring. Procedure was lengthy ,as I was previously told would be, but was kept comfortable all morning. And most important the crown I received is fitting perfect and completed in just one visit!! Thanks

Fantastic experience: As a totally new patient with an emergency problem that had to be addressed within 24 hours before leaving on an important business trip, these folks whisked me in, treated me like an old friend, gave me professional advice and repaired the problem with a permanent crown. I was on my way and able to complete the trip as scheduled. My hats off with sincere thanks to Dr. Whitford and staff!

Fantastic experience: I had ab emergency tooth ailment today and they were kind enough to get me in, even though they were short a person. I'm extremely grateful, no more pain! I'm not going anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Fell asleep in the chair, no gas required. Calm, peaceful, quiet place. Got a shot in my mouth, heard a little crunching and an inconvenient wisdom tooth was gone. Look forward to my next nap there.

Positive experience: Great people the are very kind. They are also very expensive and no guarantee you will get approved for care credit. I think over $2000 for teeth cleaning is a bit much. $1600 without sedation. Sure wish they would have explained that to me before cleaning a 1/4 of my teeth. Better communication would have been great because I would have found a cheaper dentist to do my cleaning. Very pricey and a little rude when you tell them they are pricey.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, nice people. Dr. Josh is top notch dentist.

Fantastic experience: My daughter needed some toothbrushes to pass out to underprivileged kids and Silver Lake Dentistry showed up BIG time and donated 50 toothbrushes. Nice job!

Fantastic experience: Professional pain free service from entry through completion.

Positive experience: Dr. Josh was very nice and patient with me. I can be a tough customer, but he knew exactly what i needed.

Fantastic experience: Everyone in this dental office is amazing! I am very happy with all of the care my daughter and I have received there!

Fantastic experience: They get you in and out. My family loves going there.

Fantastic experience: They were great with my toddler, especially for not being a “pediatric only” dentist office. We enjoy going here and the staff has always been friendly.

Fantastic experience: Awesome! Walked in early for appt, just a cleaning, they got me in on time. Then proceeded to go ahead and install crown. Very efficient crew, couldn't be happier with there performance.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Whitford and his staff are amazing. When I got my front tooth blown out in Afghanistan it was fixed "VA" style. Needless to say this was functional but not optimal. It caused me tons of anxiety when I spoke to groups about The Foundation for Exceptional Warriors. Dr. Whitford and his crack team of tooth fixers replaced my broken front tooth and I literally have not had a moment of anxiety since. I view my teeth like a good offensive lineman. If I am not thinking about them then they are doing their job. Dr. Whitford and his crew provide my with peace of mind. There is no possible way that someone could be happier with their dental team than I am with Silver Lake Dentistry. If you have any further questions about how awesome they are please don't hesitate to contact me on my Facebook page Chris Wolfenbarger.

Fantastic experience: I was very scared to have work done on my teeth and the entire staff did everything they could to make me feel comfortable! Definitely makes it easier to keep going back!

Fantastic experience: The quickest filling I have ever had. I was in and out and for someone who hates going to the dentist, I wasn’t at all uncomfortable. This will be my forever dentist!

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Feels like family. Good people

Fantastic experience: Very pleased with results. Entire staff kind and professional. Both doctors were wonderful.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Silver Lake dentistry Doctor Josh and the whole staff is amazing ill never go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: This office is the poster child of Dentistry. The staff is continually going "the extra mile" The Doctor is so professional, he discovered problems with my teeth from another dentist and now I am headache free. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: This has been the first dental office I've ever been to that cares about the client.

Fantastic experience: Great customer service, communication, efficient to work with. My 3 kids and I all go there and have been for a few years. Even though I live 30 minutes away I prefer the quality they offer all around.

Positive experience: The staff is very friendly. I’ve been there twice and never have to wait long. The only thing I would say would be for the dentist to introduce themselves to new patients and not assume I’ve been there before. Other than that I would recommend them.

Positive experience: Great service and amazing staff!

Fantastic experience: So very thankful to have found Dr Whitford and Silver Lake Dentistry! They are kind, professional and patient-focused. When necessary, they also refer to specialists that I can trust.

Fantastic experience: This office is great! Great doctors and staff. Friendly and knowable. Make an appointment today! They care for their patients.

Fantastic experience: The staff are very nice and welcoming. It's a very comfortable place to be at

Fantastic experience: Awesome office, staff and doctors. Our dentist retired last year and I needed to get the kids into a new place. I couldn't be happier with Silverlake Dentistry.

Fantastic experience: Got me in same day, super friendly and professional, very clean and welcoming atmosphere. They also do an excellent job on cleaning teeth and explaining things So glad i found them!

Fantastic experience: Excellent care and service, I would never go anywhere else! Both Dr’s Whitfield and Silverstein have been absolutely wonderful when caring for my family, especially my children (who can be very tough customers). Their office staff is so friendly and efficient, Letty, the manager, is so kind and always remembers my family! Allison is the best hygienist I have ever encountered; gentle, friendly, and puts an extrordinary amount of effort into giving her patients the best experience possible. I simply cannot day enough good things about his practice. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Besr Dentist ever and staff is awesome

Fantastic experience: Always appreciate how quickly I'm able to get in for an appointment. Staff is always careful and listens to concerns when I'm feeling more sensitive in places. very clean facility!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Three members of our family have visited this practice & we were all pleased with our care. So happy to have found a new, local dentist that we are comfortable with!

Fantastic experience: This is a great dental practice. I came to Silver Lake Dentistry after an extremely negative experience, and my faith in the profession was restored. I don't plan on ever switching dentists.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Whitford and staff are so friendly and make you feel comfortable.

Fantastic experience: I've worked here and have been a patient for a good portion of my life. The staff is very welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. I've gotten to know both the doctor and hygienists on a personal level and I couldn't be more satisfied with every visit.

Fantastic experience: My hygienist remember things about me from my last 6 month appointment and I was amazed at how much she cared!! Love this place!

Fantastic experience: The staff is awesome and always attentive. Best customer service in town!

Fantastic experience: Love that Lidia always has everything handled, insurance, appointments and they always know us by name!

Fantastic experience: They took care of me while I got set up for my wisdom teeth removal. Highly recommend them!!

Fantastic experience: I've always had a great experience!

Fantastic experience: First change of dentist over 25 years and glad to have found them! I have had a wonderful experience here with my dental needs.

Fantastic experience: Great group and very friendly!

Fantastic experience: Pleasant staff, evening hours, good location, very accommodating.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful dentist whose service offers me flexibility to make appointments in the evening and not miss work. Great staff and wonderful time (even though dental work doesn't sound too great at first).

Fantastic experience: I had not been to a dentist for a very long time because of bad experiences. After coming to Silver Lake Dentistry, I now get regular check ups and have been coming here for 3 years! My husband comes here also!

Fantastic experience: The staff is always friendly and does a great job keeping my kids comfortable during cleanings and procedures.

Fantastic experience: My family have been patients since they first opened their doors. Dr. Whitford is always polite and pleasant and always takes the time to discuss and explain any problems that he may find. The staff has always been great. They are always friendly and engaging and do a great job of making you feel relaxed and comfortable, no matter what you're coming in for. I'm also impressed with their follow-up regarding appointments, calling to remind you and now using text messaging as well. Overall I have no problem recommending their services to anyone who might be looking for a dentist.

Fantastic experience: Awesome customer service! Everyone is extremely caring and makes you feel comfortable from the minute you get there. Dr Whitford is knowledgeable and takes the time to explain what he is doing which puts anxiety to rest. Thank you Silverlake for all the great care!
