Dr. Bruce Larrick is smart. I definitely benefited from his years of experience and his ability to "read" patients.

I went to Dr. Larrick to have bonding done on a front lower tooth. He noticed my bite and said that we should not do bonding as it will not hold up because of my bite. He didn't want me to have to come back and spend more time and money later down the road. He cared about my outcomes! He suggested a crown that would hold up. The original crown came in and Dr. Larrick didn't like the shade of it compared to my other teeth and thought that a porcelain might not be the right one for me. He reordered a ceramic crown in a different shade, but went ahead and cemented the incorrect one because it would hold up better than a temporary. He again cared about me - the patient. The new crown arrived and I went in late afternoon and Dr. Larrick stayed until after 6pm getting it just right. I told him it felt great and the bite was fine. Dr. Larrick personally called me back a few days later, I believe it was on the weekend and late at night - does this guy ever sleep? - and said he was concern that the bite wasn't just right. He didn't want to have any issues and asked if it wasn't 100% perfect to drop by the office and he would get me in. He was absolutely correct - he is smart and this is what his years of experience taught him. I went in - he worked me in right away during my lunch hour and it's perfect!! I really appreciate all the care and concern Dr. Larrick has shown for me over this process. As a side bonus he also has a wonderful sense of humor!

If you want a dentist who cares, understands and works with his patients then Dr. Larrick is the dentist for you.

When comparing them to others I have visited for the same condition, they are among the best I have seen. One of the first things I noticed about this business was how many different areas of the building were handicap-accessible. I have been to other places where I couldn't tell how someone in a wheelchair could even enter, but they really spent a lot of time to accommodate people with all different needs. They made the extra effort to make sure every question and concern I had was addressed. I knew I was getting top-of-the-line treatment when they told me about what they learned at the latest conference they attended, and how they were incorporating that knowledge into the practice. I love when I leave the dentist and I'm able to feel how much cleaner my mouth is, and I definitely felt that after my appointment here.
I have been going to see Dr. Smiles for several years. He runs late but if there is a emergency he goes and start that one first.I understand because I was one of them, Toothache emergency need to be seen asap!! I have cancer he works with you gives you several plans you are in charge, I am seen shortly. His nurses explain as much as they can without going against hippa. He gives you several treatment plans and you make the decisions. He'll even work with my bill.
His office is unique. All the pictures and totems poles .has teeth in it. From Jim Henderson stuff animal like MS piggy etc. the ones with teeth. he has there. I enjoy it.. He really a great doctor.

When I walked in here I seriously considered just walking right back out. It was such a weird and unsettling environment for a dental office-did not seem clean or well maintained at all. After seeing the dentist, I kind of wish I had left. I had to wait 20 minutes to be taken back to the chair and then for another 20 minutes for the dentist to come in. I had a routine cleaning. It was awful. The stuff they spray on your teeth got all over my face and clothing, the dentist couldn't find some of his materials because his office is so unorganized and messy, his gloved hands were resting on the unclean counter and then went in my mouth, one of the utensils wasn't working correctly and so he just skipped that part, there weren't any cups to rinse so I had to walk out with a mouth full of dental goo. He made strange comments/jokes the whole time which made me very uncomfortable. I can't believe that this kind of service costs $80. It was the worst and strangest dental experience I've had.

Dr. Larrick is awesome! Why? I am a self-professed poor dental patient, yet his easy "bedside" manner allowed me to feel more comfortable in this setting than I have for years. Compared to my previous dentist, this experience was night and day. No "push" for expensive and questionably necessary dental procedures, no lecturing or passive "guilt" psychology. Dr. Larrick is a straight shooter who empowers his patients by giving both options and choices, and taking the time to talk them through and find his patients' own comfort zone. This dentist makes me feel less like a walking wallet with teeth and more like a person! A refreshing and pleasant change.

As a physician, Dr. Larrick did an excellent job of explaining his approach to dentristy including the scientific reasoning behind his approach. I was very impressed with his care, and the time he spent with me. Their staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with. They are so warm and professional, and make the whole experience that much better. Just as a side note, I was very impressed with how conveniently located this business was and how close it was to other shopping centers. It was so easy to find, I didn't have any trouble at all. I was confident that they were using the latest treatment methods.

Dr Larry is great with children and his office amuses them. My children (8 & 10) love his office decor which helps relax them and it is not a scary dental appointment. I myself also go to him and love his service. I would recommend him to any parent to take their children and themself.
