Best dental care I've received. Dr Sodergren NEVER disappoints and he is very attentive with his patients. The staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable and they are sure to make sure you remember all of your appts. Dr Sodergren has done my crowns and fillings and usually my appts are pain free and I have a little nitrous to take the edge off.
I had one time a few years ago after a root canal that I had pain but was able to get thru to the after hour phone number and he immediately called me in pain medicine. Connie will make sure you pay those bills and if you need time, will give you paymentt options to help. They take great care of my kid too. Highly recommend.

I really love this dental place! The place is very clean, and the Dentists are wonderful, along with their staffs! I happened to find this place online a few years ago when looking for a dentist, and I am so thankful that it worked because I won't be going anywhere else as long as they don't move because it is not easy finding a great dentist that you love!

I am upgrading my review despite a bad experience with pre-work for a crown. I was in pain for a week and I think it was cut deeper than what it should have been. As for the dentist herself on a couple of different occasions has spent more than usual-time looking for issues that I thought I was having and really tries to get to the root cause. She is always very personable with me when I come in which makes a huge difference.

I used to love this place. I came here for years for regular checkups, cleaning, filling, and my wisdom teeth being pulled. I had a filling done over two years ago. The pain never went away, I came back 2 more times after complaining about the pain. They kept sanding out my tooth and telling me to wait it out. I moved to CA and no longer have dental insurance. Over two years later and the pain has gotten worse. I will be going in soon and hopefully nothing is infected.

I have not been to the dentist for a long time and I let them know that I was feeling anxious about it. they made me feel so comfortable! The exam was so quick and informative! They were able to get me in the following week on my day off to get a cavity filled which was quick and painless. I got a deep cleaning and I was very nervous at first because it was going to be a two part appointment but I was relaxed and felt very confident in the woman cleaning my teeth. Going back for my next cleaning in February! Thank you First Impressions Dental Care!

Not happy with this dentist, i had been going there for awhile and having issues with one tooth, they took xray after xray telling me they could see nothing, when the tooth got infected, they then told me there was bone loss and the tooth had to be pulled, i know bone loss did not happen over night, i was put on antibiotics which did not help the infection, i called to tell them that, they did absolutely nothing, i found another dentist who put me on a stronger antibiotic, which has helped, they will be extracting that tooth for me, but overall, im so not pleased with first impressions dental.

I found first impressions on yelp about a year ago, great reviews so I scheduled an appointment. I knew I needed a root canal and I wanted a dentist I could trust. Everyone is very professional and the office is beautiful and newly renovated. They have very high tech gear and the staff is very kind and helpful. All of my concerns were addressed and the root canal and crown were done very well.

I've been with First Impressions for about four years now. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The ladies in the front walked me through all the services I needed done, answered questions I had about insurance and finances, and even gave me recommendations for orthodontists that I had asked for. The ladies (and gentlemen) in the back made my dental experiences (cleanings, fillings, extractions, etc.) less stressful.
They are very gentle with their hands, resulting in less painful visits to the dentist. I also love that they are minutes away from my house. I recommended this place to my bf, who also always had good experiences with them.

I came here knowing that I would likely need dental work done. I sure did. Just wasn't expecting the poor treatment I received here. I came here, got evaluated & told that I needed a root canal, which I did one of my tooth. I scheduled my dental work, & ended up having to reschedule my first appointment of treatment due to my sister flying in from out of state for a last minute interview.
This threw me into auto host mode. If you guys know what I mean, family first. I didn't want to be coming right out of dental work, then not hosting a family member to the best of my capabilities. Unfortunately, this place was less than understanding. They would send me emails leading up to my appointment asking me to confirm the appointment, yet when you respond stating that you need a reschedule via email & you ask for open dates to move forward with, you don't get a reply.
No call, no email. NOTHING. So myself being the patient. If I'm not getting a response from you knowing that you to do all of this dental work on me guess what? Trust is lost. I went & got a second opinion from another dentist who even disagreed with some of their findings. After all of this they still lied billed my insurance for my initial evaluation, which they said was no cost.
The lobby is small. They work out of a two story building that's run down & their office should be two stories since they work out of a two story building. The inside is nice though. Stay away. They lie & only see you as dollars, not a patient. +Look is modern inside the offices. -Failure to communicate on behalf of all staff. -Lies about billing. -Parking lot is drab & beat down looking.

I have had some miserable experiences with dentists. I was searching for a dentist who was professional, not pushy or arrogant, and who billed in an ethical manner. Well, I found it here. Dr. Sodogren filled 3 cavities and recently completed my first root canal. If it's possible to have a "good" root canal, I had it. He and his staff made me feel comfortable.
They are quick, efficient, professional and do a great job. He told me exactly what to expect before, during and after the procedure. They are fair in pricing, and never try to sell me services I don't want or need. Thank you Dr. Sodogren! AA+++

One of my employees referred me to First Impressions a few years ago and after seeing the same dentist for almost 21 years, I was a bit skeptical about changing dentists! But after my first visit to First Impressions, I am so glad I switched! The staff is awesome! They are very professional, friendly, and very accommodating. Let's not even talk about the dentists and their latest technology! All I can say is.the rest is history. I would highly recommend First Impressions without any reservations or hesitations!

Alright, I had avoided dentists for a long time, since they were too expensive, and I never had adequate coverage. Well, now I have the coverage, but out of habit, I still didn't want to go. That all changed when I broke a tooth. I had problems with it and finally had to get it pulled. That was the worst part, really. You see, they only have a couple days a month where you can go in and get your teeth pulled.
I wish so much that they offered this move often, but, alas, I am resigned to struggling to find a time to have those types of things done. I have one more, and then the optional wisdoms pulled. I don't know yet though. Otherwise, this office is very clean and professional. I appreciate them answering all of my questions to the best of their abilities, and always demonstrating patients and compassion towards the patients.
Everybody I have dealt with there has always communicated with me about what they are going to be doing, and made me feel comfortable during any and all of my appointments. I will continue to go here. Thank you guys!
