Safe Harbor Dental

Experiencia fantástica: Natasha really got in there and did a deep clean. Felt great.

Experiencia fantástica: I met a new (to me) Hygienist who gave me a great visit. She was careful, explained what she did and handled the whole appointment easily and thoughtfully. If you need dental care, give Safe Harbor a call.

Experiencia fantástica: It was pleasure having my tooth maintenance today and talking story with the staff had a good time.

Experiencia positiva: Modern dentistry. Use water pick for cleanings instead of scraping. Easier on teeth and easier to do for the technicians .

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. Clear concise options. Kind and patient staff. You can tell they take their work with care and safety. Will be our go-to dentist for my family moving forward.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Bowers has been taking good care of my teeth for 6 or 7 years. That includes installing a crown. He has also graciously attended to a couple of minor flare-ups, such as a stuck and irritating food particle. He has excellent staff, and I have experienced gentle, skilled attention on every visit. I would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend or family member.

Experiencia fantástica: Gone to this office for years and even though the Dentist and staff have changed I still feel very well taken care of. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Best dental group around, great hygienists friendly front desk and nice ambiance. Dr. Bower is personable and knowledgeable and does great work.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is always cheerful, professional, patient and willing to go the extra mile to ensure I have an excellent experience with every visit. I highly recommend any and all of them!

Experiencia fantástica: Going to your dental appointments have always been nice, helpful, and friendly. I also like that I did not have to go to a different business to have my teeth orthodontist change being done. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: I appreciate the level of service safe harbor provides. i've never been disappointed !

Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist office ever!! Always a pleasant Front office staff. Very experienced hygienists. Dr. Bowers has earned my trust. Thank you All taking such good care of my family!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Safe Harbor Dental for 3 years. We moved to the Olympia area and I needed to find a dentist. Due to an emergency dental situation my son had, I took him to Safe Harbor because it was close to our house and I liked the name . The staff was friendly and provided great patient care. As most people, I'm always nervous about going to the dentist but Dr. Bowers is excellent!! His staff is wonderful! So if you are looking for a new dentist, check Safe Harbor Dental out!

Experiencia fantástica: Safe Harbor Dental is fantastic. I have always had a very positive experience and would not hesitate to recommend Safe Harbor to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: It’s an awesome place to go to have your dental work done. They are so patient & kind to clients. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to have my dentist work done. Thank you, Leslie

Experiencia fantástica: Great communication… they even texted me to tell me they were ahead of schedule, so I came in early! I really enjoyed my new hygienist, Kenny, who gave me tips on brushing techniques. Definitely motivated to keep my teeth shiny and nice! Dentist was so friendly and positive! Great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Very pleasant. Staff make things very friendly and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Always receive excellent care at Safe Harbor Dental. Thanks

Experiencia fantástica: Great personal service and professional treatment from the front desk to the technicians and the dentist. I highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: After my previous dentist misdiagnosed a tooth issue and wasted my time and money, I came here and immediately felt the difference. They quickly found the real problem, fixed it, and even helped with a few other issues—without pushing anything unnecessary. I finally feel like I’ve found a dentist I can trust. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been having my teeth cleaned for over forty years, and today’s cleaning was excellent - thorough, efficient, sensitive and informative-the hygienist critiqued the condition of my teeth as we went along, and made recommendations on how to improve things. Great job.

Experiencia fantástica: Very happy. Friendly and make you feel very comfortable. Do a great job. Thank you

Experiencia negativa: I feel it’s important to share my experience for anyone considering this office. The quote for a crown was less than the other dentist I had seen and they had exceptional reviews (I later learned that most of those reviews are for Dr. Banner, the previous dentist at Safe Harbor) so I made the appointment. I got a text asking for a review after the initial consultation. I’m so glad I waited to see what I was reviewing. If it’s not a Google review, it can’t be edited or taken down. Beware! At first, Dr. Bowers seemed relaxed and calm, but after a few minutes, he became visibly hurried. Overbooked? He did the tooth prep and buildup (which I was told wasn’t needed in the estimate, took 3 minutes, and added $300+ to my bill) and the assistant, Kimberly, was left to finish the procedure, unsupervised. She struggled to pack the cord and ended up placing the temporary crown backwards. When I asked her how long she had been there, she responded, "3 days" and I was sent home without Dr. Bowers checking her work. When I returned to have it fixed the next morning, even the assistant admitted it had been placed incorrectly and tried to take it out without anesthesia before Dr. Bowers came in. Ouch! The permanent crown also doesn’t fit well and has a noticeable ledge confirmed by another dentist, which could cause gum problems over time. I will most likely have to have the whole procedure re-done and spend another $2K because of this. I’ve been in five times, paid $1,858 plus another $96 for another dentist to confirm what I already suspected. The office communicates through a regular, unsecured Gmail account, which is not HIPAA compliant and doesn’t protect patient privacy. I’ve requested my records three times in the past two weeks, but have gotten no response. This is my 5th crown and never have I had an issue before this. I wish I’d trusted my instincts and gone elsewhere. If you value accuracy, professional supervision, skilled staff, and secure communication, I would recommend choosing another dental office.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a patient at Safe Harbor Dental for many years and have always received top notch care with a smile.

Experiencia fantástica: I was afraid of dentists for the longest time! I now go to Safe Harbor and get my regular scheduled care. The staff here is amazing! I recommend anyone who has had a bad experience… to please, please try Safe Harbor! You will get the best treatment from kind people who care about you and the job they do for you.

Experiencia fantástica: As someone who hates going to the dentist, Safe Harbor Dental makes the experience enjoyable. The front gals at the front desk are sweet, funny, knowledgeable, and efficient. All of the people who worked in my mouth were just as amazing. From imaging, to inspection, talking to the dentist, cleaning, and polishing, everyone was kind and made my time there much more pleasant than I initially expected.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent teeth cleaning with Kayla. I always get kind and professional treatment from all the staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Very good experience. Staff was accommodating and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been with Banner Family Dental for many years. The staff is always friendly and takes good care of my dental needs!

Experiencia fantástica: As always, both my wife and I continue to get excellent dentil care from Dr. Bowers and his excellent staff.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to this dental group for years and would never go anywhere else. They are professional and do excellent work. I have a new hygienist, Kenny, who I think I will like very much. He is knowledgeable, friendly and gentle.

Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist and hygienist I've ever had fast on time, very nice people 5 stars for sure.

Experiencia negativa: The front desk staff are very inconsistent. They canceled my appointment without telling me and spoke with someone else regarding my health care, likely mixing up my information with another person's. They also double charged for one procedure, messing up my insurance coverage and charging me double. While the dentist himself is great I can't tolerate the rest of the staff's incompetence.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone in the office is friendly & helpful! had a crown fall off and it was replaced free of charge.

Experiencia fantástica: When entering Safe Harbor Dental, I’m always greeted with a friendly welcoming face. My hygienist, Rhonda, is exception! Dr. Bowers is very professional and thorough and I’ve never been kept waiting. I have and will continue to recommend this office to anyone needing dental care. Terry Semon

Experiencia fantástica: This dentist and his staff are wonderful and have always gone above and beyond to accommodate me, I have been patient with safe harbor for about 8 years (I think) and have zero complaints. Wonderful dentist and staff!

Experiencia fantástica: My dentist for several years. Doctor is always on time, organized, communicative and very gentle. Staff and assistants friendly and skilled.

Experiencia negativa: This place hurt me. I came in for an extraction on two bottom wisdom teeth when only one was bothering me. They worked on the one that wasn't a problem yet. Super unprofessional. They stabbed through my lip with the numbing needle when numbing the tooth for starters then proceeded to make me leave with my tooth only partly done and all messed up. Seems super uncompassionate and annoyed and in a hurry. I left worst than when I went in. Horrible care. Horrible experience. I trusted them for help and they let me down.

Experiencia fantástica: Rhonda is a very kind, friendly and gentle hygienist. She always does a fabulous cleaning job.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly dental hygienist. Makes one feel like a valued patient. Efficient and pain free cleaning.

Experiencia fantástica: Just went in for my semi annual cleaning! What a pleasant experience again! Love this Dentist and staff, they are wonderful!

Experiencia fantástica: Always on time, efficient, caring staff. Dr Bower listens to concerns and always has a positive attitude

Experiencia fantástica: 10/10 experience. Needed an urgent procedure and was met with compassion from everyone in office. Dr. Bowers provided the best care I’ve had in decades and walked me through every step of my root canal procedure / temporary restoration of my front tooth. Looks beautiful and the procedure was gentle. I could tell he was confident and demonstrates integrity in his work. I don’t have nice teeth but I’m on a journey to getting there and Safe Harbor welcomed and prioritized my needs effortlessly. Great work from a great team.

Experiencia fantástica: Great team here. The Dentist and hygienists are all immensely knowledgeable and kind.

Experiencia fantástica: ANGELA IS AMAZING! I was urgently looking for dental care for my son as he broke off half of a front tooth. Our insurance was not accepted here but Angela took it upon herself to call a couple places that she thought accepted our insurance and that could help. We were able to get in elsewhere right away, thanks to her. She could have just simply told me “No, sorry we do not accept your coverage”. Which in all honesty is what I expected. Absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much Angela! You definitely went above and beyond!!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a really good, gentle and knowledgeable hygienist. Her names is Misty. Also Dr Bower was welcoming and calming.

Experiencia fantástica: Our appointment was not on the calendar for some reason, but they got us in anyway. Thank you Dr Bowers and front desk and team.

Experiencia fantástica: After weeks of struggling with my former primary dentist & the referral I was sent to for extraction, my concerns were dismissed. I felt unheard and confused with no follow up on what to expect. I finally found a dentist who truly listens. Dr. Bowers thoroughly examined my healing extraction and bone graft, explained in detail the healing process, took the time to walk me through exactly what to expect — even in the future implant process. I left feeling relieved, heard, informed, and confident in my care moving forward at Safe Harbor Dental. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I got a same day appointment for my very painful tooth. Staff was friendly and efficient, good listeners

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Bowers and his team are incredibly good at what they do. I have been a patient of theirs for about 5 or 6 years. I am moving to Florida next month, but if I could afford to fly back up to their office in Tumwater each year for my care I would do it. They are true professionals who care about you and your teeth and making sure the dental visit was as comfortable as possible. Take it from me.....I am a huge baby when it comes to going to the dentist. I give them the highest of recommendations.

Experiencia fantástica: These people ROCK! So friendly. Great communication. I knew exactly what they were doing and why. Comfortable office and chairs. I usually have high anxiety at the dentist. Not this time. Thank you so much.

Experiencia negativa: Left me on hold for an hour and I only had one question but the front desk didn’t even give me a chance to say anything before putting me on hold. Asked if I could be put on hold and then just did it. Supper rude if you ask me it would’ve taken one minute to answer my question I was just wanting to know if they accepted my insurance.

Experiencia fantástica: I started going to this dental office 10 or 11 years ago. I stayed as a client after my dentist dentist retired because I trusted Dr. Bowers. He is also gentle which is important to me! The dental care is excellent. Everyone is welcoming & friendly. If I have to be at a dentist, this is the place! Give them a try.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff is professional and friendly. They genuinely care about me and my health. Recommend to anyone looking for a dentist!! 5 stars.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice clean office, all the staff is very friendly and professional. Dr. Bowers is great and gentle! I used to be terrified of the dentist and avoided it for almost 10 years. I now go every six months. I would absolutely recommend Safe Harbor.

Experiencia fantástica: I switched dentists because my previous dentist and hygienists didn't help me to feel comfortable and seemed unprofessional. It was a relief to have the opposite experience at Safe Harbor. After one visit for I feel comfortable coming back to have more work done

Experiencia fantástica: Okay, this is one of the best dental experiences I have had! Dr. Bowers was kind and took the time to explain everything to someone who has had bad experiences in the past. They have a great team with top-notch customer service and care!

Experiencia fantástica: My tooth had broken and my dentist of 7 years is going to a new state to further his education. I was really nervous to find another dentist, since like most people, not my favorite place to go. Kind and considerate treatment from the office team began from the first call to waiting in the treatment area. They checked in often to ensure my comfort, as they were a little busier than usual. It’s apparent that this practice is very patient focused. Dr. Bowers has an excellent energy, was able to quickly fix my broken tooth and I didn’t experience any discomfort during the entire treatment. I was very happy with the overall experience and will be back for future dental care.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Bowers and his staff are very professional, patient, skilled, and caring. They listen carefully and explain everything. I highly recommend this office to receive excellent dental care.

Experiencia fantástica: Efficient, friendly, advanced technical dental care. Very pleased with Safe Harbor!

Experiencia fantástica: Safe Harbor is very responsive. They were able to get me in right away when I needed it most. Their staff are very helpful and kind and Dr Bowers is great. He made my dental work pain free. Thank you!

They examined my mouth and got the tooth out in under a hour! thank yall so much !

Experiencia fantástica: Safe Harbor is a wonderful place to go for dental work. Dr. Bowers is amazing, Rhonda is my hygienist and is super cool and caring. The girls at the front desk are always smiling and very kind. I give them a 10.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at Safe Harbor Dental was helpful, kind, concerned and professional as always. I have been going to this dental office for 21 years and would recommend them to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: I broke my tooth and couldn’t get in to see my regular dentist for a week. I called Safe Harbor and they set me up for an appointment that same day. Dr Bowers and his staff treated me very well. I would highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a dental emergency and they were able to get me in right away to address my dents issues with speed and kindness.

Experiencia fantástica: I'm transferring care from another dentist and just had my first ultrasonic teeth cleaning at Safe Harbor Dental. Really like the hygienist, Melanie... she was gentle, non-judgmental and explained things as she worked.

Experiencia fantástica: No one wants to have to come in for emergency dental work, but Dr. Bowers and his staff made what could have been a very difficult situation so much better! Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: I have never felt so good about my dental Hygiene. This is a very supportive environment!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at the office is so friendly and kind. I felt so comfortable from my x-rays, to cleaning, even a root canal! Would highly recommend Safe Harbor to my friends and family.

Experiencia fantástica: Safe Harbor Dental is just that—a safe place especially for anyone with dental anxiety.

I had a problem tooth and he handle it immediately and brought it back to health. When I was experiencing symptoms, staff got me in ASAP for an exam. Recommend Safe Harbor Dental highly.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr.Bowers saved my Thanksgiving this year! After experiencing severe pain from a tooth ache for days and not being able to get into see a doctor, I couldn’t wait another day, I found Dr. Bowers’ office on Google and I called them at 7 am and had my emergency root canal at 7:45 am, the SAME day. The sense of urgency and the level of care left a long lasting impression. Thank you to the team at safe harbor.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this office. Everyone is so nice and friendly. My entire family see Dr. Bowers and we all enjoy our visit. I tend to have a lot of fears when it comes to coming to dental offices and they make me feel safe. They help put my fears at bay and walk me through different procedures. Thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: #1. Not a big fan of going to dentists. That being said I am now a fan of Safe Harbor Dental. Very professional, friendly, meticulous and best of all painless. Highly recommended.

Experiencia negativa: Generally I don't like to leave negative reviews but I feel that this one is justified. I called to get set up as a patient and was asked about my insurance. I informed the somewhat rude sounding receptionist that I had Delta Dental, but when I didn't know my exact group I was told to send a picture of my insurance card via email to them. That alone wasn't too much of an issue, but not getting a response back is. There is a large sign in front of your building that reads "Now Accepting New Patients". I called and was greeted by a rude receptionist, was told to send a personal document via email, and never received a response. I am now a patient of Tyee Dental instead.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful dental clinic! Courteous and efficient staff, intelligent and gentle dental work. Plus small jars of free honey! Highly recommend Safe Harbor.
