The dental experience I had with the Vetter Clinic was the best dental experience I've ever had. I'm 40 and move around every so few years with my job. This place takes the cake! I came in for a cavity fill and a cleaning. Dr. Luck and her tech (I didn't catch her name. wish I did! She was incredible!) made me feel comfortable through the whole process, especially when getting the numbing shots. Kati (the dental hygienist) explained everything thoroughly and was very gentle. Would highly recommend this practice to anybody in the Olympia area.

This review is pretty late but it's an experience I think about every time I go to the dentist. I went to Vetter 5 years ago for a regular exam and cleaning. I was told that I had 9 cavities which was a total shock because at the time I'd only ever had one filling in my life. I went as far as booking appointments to get my "cavities" filled (yes, multiple appts bc they recommended so many fillings).
My friends and family urged me to get a second opinion. Thank god I did because I learned Vetter's recommendation was a total scam. The second opinion I went to told me that I had two tiny cavities that didn't need to be filled immediately and could possibly heal with proper treatment. It's been 5 years since I went to Vetter and I've only needed to get one filling.
At the time, I was a full-time student without insurance and was planning on taking out thousands in loans to pay for all the work that needed to be done because I was made to believe that it was urgent and that if it didn't happen soon, I might need a root canal in a couple months time. I don't remember which dentist I saw but that type of practice is predatory and I wouldn't trust anyone there.
The financial exploitation is completely unethical as is drilling holes into a person's teeth unnecessarily.that experience instilled a general fear and mistrust of going to the dentist.

I came to this dentist office after bad experiences at my previous dentist. I have been here for 3 cleanings now and have had excellent experiences each time. Yesterday, Nissa was my hygienist and she was friendly and polite and had great bedside manner. Dr. Rentschler was great as always. I will forever be thankful to her because when I came in for my cleaning last year, she noticed a spot under my tongue that, upon biopsy, was not benign.
I have since had surgery to remove it and all is well but I am very thankful she noticed it to begin with. I don't live in town anymore but I still make the 45-60 minute drive to come here. It's only twice a year after all!

Pros: They will work with you on payment plans; accept credit cards; discount for paying with cash or check. Nice office, convenient location. Cons: Not the best quality dental care; poor bedside manner. I'm sorry to say I can't recommend Dr. Vernon. She was quite aggressive in the number of fillings she recommended for me, and for very tiny cavities.
The drilling she had to do was probably more damaging to my tooth than the pre-cavity she was wanting to fill. My husband, who had not had regular dental care previously, had several fillings (the first in his life) done by Dr. Vernon. During a subsequent exam, Dr. Vernon criticized the quality of one of the fillings, saying "whoever did this." Um, it was you. Dr. Vernon also lacks appropriate bedside manner.
While working on my fillings, she was gossiping with her assistant, saying negative things about her child's teacher, and going on political rants. When I came in pregnant, and my nice hygienist pointed it out that congratulations were in order, Dr. Vernon said, "Oh, I couldn't tell, I thought she was just looking a little tubby." Right in front of me, in third person. Needless to say, that was my last visit to this office.
I once saw a different dentist when Dr. Vernon was out, but she no longer works there and it was too brief of an encounter to judge. I don't know anything about the other dentists currently there. The hygienists are competent and friendly. The only negative thing I can say about the hygienists is more than once they pushed us to get fluoride treatments by trying to tell us that our insurance would pay for it, even though (1) we had no insurance, and we'd told her that, and (2) most insurance generally doesn't cover fluoride treatments for adults.

Dr. Vetter is terrible. Their financial system and billing system will screw you and she does terrible work. If you go here, you will get unfit crowns and be billed more than she ever will quote you for. One crown has costed $7,000 from her. Not to mention she'll do fillings when you don't really need them. Do not go here. If you do, get a second opinion and quote before letting her do anything in your mouth. You've been warned. #nostars more info to come.

I went here based on all of the great reviews and was really disappointed. The hygienist were really, really great but I was not satisfied with the dentist or the rude lady Pam in billing. I was told I had 13 cavities! I was in such shock I got a second opinion at which I was told I have one. I felt really scammed. I recommend if you go here to get a second opinion!

Vetter Dental sets the standard for customer service in the dental industry. I have moved since becoming a patient but am willing to make the drive just for the consistently great experience. They even accommodated my cranky four-month-old when I had to bring her with me on my last appointment. They took the stress totally out of the situation and actually had one of the hygienists come in to hold her for a bit when she started getting fussy.
Totally unnecessary but a perfect example of how they go out of their way to make the experience and environment great every time. I just hope I don't move any further away.

Best Dental Experience Ever! My dentist Maryann and my hygienist Dawn are the most professional and gentle dental practitioners that I have ever experienced. The office is very modern and the tools and equipment are top of the line. You can tell the office manager and owners take great pride in putting forth a quality dental office with great customer service and patient care. I highly recommend this office!
