So this is my second time coming here, and I feel as though everyone is very good at making you feel comfortable. They are very thorough , and knowledgeable. Alicia is so gentle cleaning my teeth and... very pleasant to talk too. Dr. Johnson always makes sure she covers all the details, and has a nice gentle manner as well. They also tried to give me other options that weren’t as expensive to try first, which I appreciate. It is so hard to find a good dentist that you feel comfortable with, and I loved Dr. O. Very pleased with my service here, and I know I will continue to come here.read more

After a more than disappointing interaction/appointment with Aspen Dental, I opted to support a more local dentistry instead and came to Rivers Bend FDC. What an incredible and attentive staff! Every... part about my visit, from email inquiry to phone and email communication/customer service to in-office exam and cleaning was phenomenal. The team walked me through every step of what they were doing, while they were doing it, and helped me set-up a treatment plan that was concise, fair, thorough and exactly what anyone seeking dental care and work should receive. Could not recommend this place or this team more! Thank you all so so much!read more

Why I Should Find A Local Dentist Near Me
If unsure about making the switch in dentists here are some considerations to think about:
If you’ve just moved to the area it’s a great time to ask your local neighbors who they see or recommend in the area. A big win if they are located conveniently where you go dining, grocery shopping and run errands in your day to day.
A great place to start is by reading online reviews. Google, Nextdoor, Yelp are all great resources. What many of your peers say can give you a clue of the overall experience given by the practice. Pick up the phone and call the office. See how pleasant the conversation is. Was it easy to make an appointment? Do their hours work conveniently with yours?
What Can I Expect With A New Patient Appointment?
Establishing a relationship with a new dental office can feel like a lot of unknowns. Let’s shed a little light on how we do it here at the Rivers Bend!
- When you call, email or use the online scheduler, we will make a special note that this is your first time to our practice. To help give you a faster first time check in process, please feel free to fill out the forms online (here). We welcome any special requests you may have, just let us know, and we will try our best to accommodate your needs.
- Arrive 10 minutes so you can take a deep breathe and relax in our beautiful North Woods Cabin Retreat Themed waiting room. In the mean time, we will make sure all your information you filled earlier is correct in our systems. Also don’t forget the insurance card if you do have one.
- Come back with one of our wonderful hygienist where they’ll see what it is that’s bringing you into the office that day. Whether for something routine or more specific, we try to tailor the appointment to your needs for that day. We want to get to know you and help serve you best.
- Your doctor will be in to address any concerns you may have and do a thorough exam. If there are any findings, we will let you know and give you an estimate so there are no surprises.
- If it’s been not too long since your last appointment and it may be more routine, a refreshing cleaning will be given by your hygienist.
- Take home a goodie bag and let everyone see how spic and sparkly your newly cleaned teeth look 🙂
