Dove Dental Group

this place was outstanding! I have been absolutely terrified of the dentist since I was a very little girl and had a bad experience at my local dentist and I told them while I scheduled my appointment they met me with complete kindness and complete understanding and patience while I took the appointment pretty much at my own pace the entire time if I needed a break, they gave me one. They kept checking in on me to make sure I was doing OK. They were more worried about me being nervous than I was, and that really says something to those who know how bad dental anxiety can be. I will never go back to another dentist office in my life. I truly felt so comfortable here I felt like they truly cared that if I was comfortable as the patient or if I needed a break, every single person I met had a smiling face and an amazing personality.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Exceptional Experience at Dove Dental — Thank You, Candice! Since I was a child, I have always struggled with dental anxiety. Just the thought of going to the dentist has terrified me. Like many people, hearing horror stories and listening to others talk about negative experiences at the dentist only made that anxiety worse. Since moving to Springfield, I’ve established care with several different dental offices. I want to be clear that I’m not saying those offices weren’t professional or that they provided poor care. I simply never felt completely comfortable or safe when it came to my dental health. That changed with Dove Dental. From the moment I walked through the door, I experienced something different — genuine hospitality, compassion, professionalism, and, most importantly, a sense that I was actually being heard. I especially want to recognize Candice. She was absolutely amazing. Candice wasn’t only interested in my dental health. She took the time to get to know me as a person. We talked about the books I write, where I work, the things I do in my life, and just life in general. It didn’t feel like a simple patient-and-provider interaction. It felt like she genuinely wanted to know who I was beyond the dental chair. That meant more to me than she probably realizes. Throughout my exam and appointment, I was able to vocalize what made me comfortable and what caused me anxiety, and they listened. More importantly, they respected what I communicated and did everything they could to make me feel at ease. Even when the dentist came in, I felt comfortable expressing my concerns and felt like I was in an environment where my voice mattered. For someone who has experienced dental anxiety since childhood, that is HUGE. Dove Dental reminded me that going to the dentist doesn’t have to be something I dread. You can receive excellent dental care while also being treated with kindness, dignity, patience, and compassion. I would highly recommend Dove Dental to anyone looking for a dental office where professionalism and genuine care go hand in hand. And Candice… you deserve a BIG FAT RAISE! 😂👏🏽 The way you made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and valued as a person was truly exceptional. Thank you, Candice, and thank you, Dove Dental, for giving me an experience that was so different from what I’ve known for most of my life. I’m grateful to have finally found a dental office where I can genuinely say:

Most definitely the best experience I have ever had at a dentist office in my life! Everyone was SO kind, the receptionists, the hygienists, and the doctors! Jaye worked with me and she was so sweet! I don’t think I will ever go to a different dentist office ever again. The Christian music playing the whole time was absolutely amazing and definitely helped my nerves as well!

My family and I are originally from Arkansas, so this was my first time here, and I couldn’t recommend it enough. They have a great facility, top notch equipment, and a phenomenal staff that not only cares about your smile, but you as a person as well. Jessica first called me back to take all of the initial images, and to be honest, I was not feeling myself. My husband was in the hospital following a scary incident, and although he was stable, I was still worried and stressed. She could tell, and asked me how I really was doing, and when I told her, she asked if she could pray with me. My family needed that so much, and it certainly helped my heart. Additionally, Jess the hygienist came in and was extremely kind and actually went ahead and worked me in for a cleaning given the circumstances so I wouldn’t have to come back. And don’t even get me started on how kind, compassionate, professional, and thorough Dr. Bridwell was during her exam. I know I only go to the dentist once a year, but I hope when I go back I get this same team, because they not only treated my smile, but my heart as well. I cannot recommend Dove Dental enough 💜💚

Oh my gosh Candice and Kiersten were the coolest and most fun dental assistants ever! I didn’t feel like I was at the dentist I felt like I was at an interactive comedy routine. 12/10 would highly recommend. I love Dove Dental! God Centered and good people! The only constructive criticism I would give is that I hear the rooms are going “uniform” because they will be shared soon with an increase in staff. DON’T MAKE THE Cracker Barrel MISTAKE! Let the place and employees and your business have its personality. That’s what draws me to this wonderful place. Don’t change it. As the homies would say DOVE DENTAL FO LIFFFE!

My elderly mother recently visited Dove Dental after dreading dentists for about the last 40 years. I told her that this office is different from anything she had experienced previously. She finally gave in after she couldn't stand to see herself smile anymore. She had multiple issues and needed extensive dental work, including multiple root canals and a crown. She never experienced pain or discomfort, even the following day! She is sold on Dr. Dove and all of his staff! Thank you so much for changing my mom's attitude toward dentistry and for taking such great care of her! We won't go anywhere else, and we continually refer friends and family. There is no reason to fear the dentist when you visit Dove Dental Group. Thanks, again! ❤️

I knew it was going to be an extraction. Went online, was able to get appointment for next day. Filled out intake forms, and CC info for security deposit. Front end staff very friendly and personable. Dentist was dressed casually, and had what I would describe as a “down home” attitude, which came across as reassuring. His assistant asked personal questions in a way that indicated that she truly cared about me as a person. Plenty of time was given to allow pain meds to take full effect. Extraction was quick and efficient, and I was shown the damaged tooth once it was removed. I paid with CC Care Credit. The bill was about $50 higher than I expected, but I don’t mind paying extra for appointment timeliness and superior customer service. Well done Dove! I would recommend.

Ive been going here for years now and ive always had a great experience, even when im in some of the worst pain of my life. The peeps at the front desk are always nice and cheerful. Ive seen three of the dentists here and they've all been steller. Dr. dove has always been focused on my care and comfort rather than just jumping right pulling teeth, he took time to listen to what was going on and to formulate a plan. Ive never felt judged for my less than great dental health, but ive felt encouraged to stay on top of things. The dental assistant Lucy is one of my favorite people to have during my procedures. Shes has a warm personality and she's alwayd been professional. The staff here are great communicators before, during, and after my appointments. It helps my anxiety when they let me know what to expect, especially when there are drills involved near my teeth. They've been straightforward about the cost of things and helping me explore options given my health and financial status. I never felt pressured into a treatment plan that I wasn't comfortable doing and dr. Dove was honest in helping me understand the pros and cons of my options. This is the best dental practice anywhere and im happy to trust them.

I have major anxiety about the dentist and have had a lot of trauma. I also don’t numb well. This is the first office that takes time care and consideration. They explained everything thoroughly and they walk you through the expected procedures. Make sure you’re prepped mentally and physically. I have never had a bad experience here Dr. Dove and the other doctors are amazing. Jessica did my cleaning and she was so careful and gentle and very respectful. I cannot recommend this office enough.

This was my first visit with Dove dental. I hadn’t gone to the dentist for a few years so I was nervous how the appointment would go. The whole staff was nothing but wonderful from the time I came in and alleviated my nervousness right away. Everyone was very kind and professional and seemed to want to take the time to get to know me while getting all the information they needed to take care of my teeth properly. I walked not being confused about what they were telling me and gave me a clear plan of action for the work I might need to get done in the future. Now I’m not so nervous to go back for my next appointments.

Dove Dental has been absolutely outstanding from the moment I walked in. The entire team sets the tone with kindness and professionalism, and my experience only got better from there. My dentist was incredible, patient, knowledgeable, and truly committed to making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. And my dental hygienist, she was just as impressive: gentle, thorough, and clearly passionate about making sure I continue to follow her guidelines to keeping my mouth healthy. I felt great today that she said I was doing a great job. It’s rare to find a dental group where you feel genuinely cared for, but Dove Dental delivers that and more. I’m grateful for the excellent service and the welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dental home where you’ll be treated with skill and respect. Thanks Dove Family! MrLee.
