Reviews

Real Patient Experiences

I am a patient here, and this place is nothing short of amazing. A clean dental office with professional and friendly staff. Dr. Pries explained and kept me informed. They followed standards and procedures that made me feel confident having my dental work here. The dental hygienists really do a thorough job when it comes to dental cleaning. I highly recommend this dental office.

Dr. Pries is the best dentist that I have ever had. As soon as I walk into the door the friendly receptionist makes me feel like family. Even the waiting room is a warm cozy place. I never need to wait long, the efficient staff is always centered on the patient. Dr. Pries instantly puts me at ease with his professional demeanor. I know that I'm in good hands and that I can relax. I have referred friends and family to Dr. Pries, and they all have been very happy with his service.

This is a great dental practice! The Doctor was very professional and reassuring. It was my first visit, and I am definitely going to be a regular patient from now on.

The best dental care team I have ever encountered. Everyone was warm and very professional. They attended to my needs like I was the only patient there even when I wasn’t and made sure I was comfortable the whole time!

Claire H.

Absolutely awesome. I got a crown yesterday. This is the second procedure I’ve had done here. I also had a root canal done. I mentioned to Dr. Pries that I needed to leave by 5:00. Not only did he make it happen, it was done right. It fit perfectly.

Best Dentist in Silicon Valley Period! I don't trust another dentist! Upbeat staff, friendly, knowledgeable! I wouldn't trust my teeth with anyone else! Wish them the success they deserve it!

I had a badly done cracked filling from my old dentist and Dr. Pries gave me a professional filling without pain or problems! Best treatment I’ve ever experienced!!!

Great, clean and friendly environment filled with professionals. They are well organized and communicate clearly everything ahead of time (no surprises with bills). I trust my whole family’s dental care to Dr Pries and I strongly recommend that anyone would do the same.
