In their own words.
Every review here comes from a patient, trimmed for length but never for meaning. Use the filter to read what families like yours have said.
“Only place I’d drive through the winding canyons an hour each way. The entire staff is warm, kind, helpful, and loves my kids so much. Dr. Keith is the GOAT and I trust him with my kids and their health.”
Megan B., parent of pediatric patients, 2025
“Our previous dentist wanted to put my 4-year-old under anesthesia for the work she needed done. I found this practice does natural dentistry and does not sedate children. Dr. Keith and his team got all her work done in two visits.”
Sarah L., parent of pediatric patient, 2021
“My granddaughter hated going to the dentist. It used to take tears and bribery to get her there. Now she calls her dentist Dr. Teeth, and between visits she keeps asking when her next appointment is.”
Cindy J., grandparent of pediatric patient, 2022
“My son got a lot of dental work done with no sedation or anesthesia. I’m at peace knowing his development wasn’t affected in any way. He even got to play during part of his treatment, and I signed up all of my children.”
Inna I., parent of pediatric patient, 2024
“My son Eddie is special needs and has been coming here since the beginning. Their techniques work. They have encouraged him to be calm and brave. He’s now 15 and I’m so glad I found this place.”
Purple J., parent of pediatric patient, 2017
“We came for a second opinion for our strong-willed 2-year-old. We couldn’t be happier with the plan for his long-term oral health, and best of all, they won’t press for unnecessary procedures. We trust this team wholeheartedly.”
Deanna S., parent of pediatric patient, 2024
“We visited about nine dentists and every one suggested general anesthesia for our daughter. Then we found this sedation-free practice. She got half her teeth done in one sitting with just local numbing, and she had no complaints going to the dentist.”
Ravi J., parent of pediatric patient, 2019
“I came in for fillings with Dr. Jake and caught myself saying it was fun. One cavity was deeper than expected, so they used ozone to kill the bacteria and keep the decay from spreading. I always leave feeling well taken care of, whether it’s my kids’ appointments or my own.”
Heather T., parent and adult patient, 2025
“The doctor made recommendations that meant not spending over two thousand dollars on work that was cosmetic and not necessary. No upsell here. The hygienist continued the trend, giving thorough explanations about fluoride and the alternatives.”
David D., adult patient, 2025
“I left a high-pressure dentist and found a kind, knowledgeable practice that didn’t try to push orthodontics on an older adult. I appreciate Dr. Keith’s professionalism, but even more his acceptance of my needs as I saw them.”
Sandra S., adult patient, 2024
“Over the course of 67 years I’ve been to a fair share of dentists, but Mountain Dental clearly stands tall above the rest. Dr. Keith was skilled and friendly, and I loved how he explained all my options of care. I’m sure I’ll be seeing him for the rest of my life.”
Chris K., adult patient, 2025
“I came from Roseville and the drive is worth it. I had silver fillings removed with the SMART protocol. Dr. Keith is knowledgeable and gentle, and he takes his time with the work.”
Veronika S., adult patient, 2024
“I’ve had a lot of work done and everything has come out perfect. He explains everything as he’s doing it and prefers a more holistic approach when appropriate. I have never felt a single thing.”
Dozer M., adult patient, 2023
“Dr. Jake is supportive and personable, and I love the natural path to taking care of teeth. On my first visit he found an old infected root canal. We took it out, and my sinuses have cleared up.”
Ivan H., adult patient, 2026
“I had to get an extraction and had a lot of anxiety about it. Dr. Jake explained everything clearly and answered all my questions, and Amber S. did everything possible to keep my mind off the procedure. Everything went smoothly.”
Tamara R., adult patient, 2025
“I needed a permanent metal retainer removed, and I’m absolutely impressed with my experience here. The team went above and beyond, and everyone is so kind and considerate.”
Gloria A., adult patient, 2026

In a very nice environment, very clean and with a good energy. Highly recommended, great experience.
I have extreme dental anxiety! Because of that, it’s kept me away from the dentist for over 10 years.
A friend of mine told me about this place (she also struggled with dental anxiety) and the intentions were to just get my daughter and husband in and completely avoid the dentist myself. I was completely blown away and continue to be blown away by the level of compassion and care by each and every one of their staff. I do have to give a special shout out to Katie who has restored my faith in the dental industry; Katie has gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable during my cleanings. I have never felt more taken care of, seen and comfortable at a dental office in my life.
I highly recommend them! One Loose Tooth is truly a treasure.
I felt completely confident letting them handle this for me and I will be back for the rest of my dental care soon. Absolutely recommend using them for your dental and oral health care needs!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m also a patient on the adult side of the office. I’ve always had a great experience with cleanings and treatment. The staff up front is great at estimating benefits. I’ll be a patient for life 🙂
