I have had anxiety going to the dentist since I was young. I have been going to Dental West (Dr Leavens) for the past 5 years and just realized, I’m not anxious anymore. The staff is amazing, Ama always greets you with a big smile and Lin-z has always been gentle and calming during my cleanings. Best Dentist Office in TriCities.
Dr. Leavens and staff are the best! I had a double crown procedure yesterday and they made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend this office for your dental work. Karen and Ama were wonderful.
I’ve never felt more at ease being at a dentist! I look forward to what the Dental West team can do for me and my teeth. Super friendly and patient staff. Highly recommend!
WOW!! I am excited that the Lord guided me to Dental West… My teeth feel brand new and, at 66 years of age, that is outstanding!!
Such a friendly and welcoming environment and staff! They work so efficiently and have resolved any problem I have had involving my dental care. I would 100% recommend Dr. Leavens and his team for anyone who is looking for a dental care provider.
The staff from the minute you walk through the door until you walk out of the door are all so friendly and make your visit enjoyable. Lindsay and the doctor were very knowledgeable and helpful with the decision plan that they came up with. I felt very comfortable in a new dentist I highly recommend visiting.
I came in with a lot of bad teeth, hadn’t been to a dentist in 25 years. The dentist office was probably my least favorite place to be so naturally I was very uneasy. Everyone there was so nice and made me feel like they were genuinely concerned. They were very helpful and knowledgeable, I didn’t have to wait long at all and never felt hurried. Dr Leavens was easy to talk to and was happy to answer all my questions. I would have no problem at all recommending them to anyone.
Dr. Leavens is a great dentist. I had an over 30 year old crown replaced on June 30, 2020. I loved walking out the office with my new crown-no second visit for a permanent crown- fully satisfied. Dr. Leavens has an amazing dexterity, great personal demeanor, and everyone on his staff are very caring, and professional. I was very impressed by all the precautions put in place regarding Covid 19, and gave me the utmost confidence and peace of mind of their virus mitigation precautionary approach. I highly recommend Dr. Leavens to anyone who is looking for a superb dental service.
I have been going to Dental West for many years and the care I receive each visit is beyond compare. Every person there goes to great lengths to make you feel comfortable and help you get past any uneasiness you may feel being in the dental chair. Dr. Leavens and his staff are top notch and I highly recommend them!
