I must have had some infection or something because I had bad breath all the time, and that’s just not a good thing. A couple of times, it got kind of embarrassing. You could see people back up when you were talking to them, so I knew, man, you gotta do something about this.

I came in, the exam was really thorough. That was impressive. The equipment and technology that they use here is pretty impressive compared to the way things used to be, so the photos they take, the X-rays they take, they see totally what’s going on and can advise you, “Well, here’s where we should go to get you back in good shape.” I let them do it, and it worked.

On the initial visit, what the, kind of a quick checkup, and the initial cleaning, they were pretty thorough about, “Here’s what’s going on, here’s where your issues are, and here’s what we can do to take care of that.” So, then, it was actually on the second visit where they went in and actually did some deeper cleaning.

But on the first visit, they were really thorough and told me everything that should be done.

I’ve had some really poor experiences with other dental offices, with other denture manufacturers, and I saw that this was a place of comfort, and when I walked in the door, it was just marvelous. I mean, I was treated like I was family. I was totally put at ease. All my anxiety went away. Everything, it’s like it’s all about me down to, “Are you comfy? Can I get you something to drink, does this hurt, does that hurt?” you know. Just making me totally comfortable when I walk into the office, and it just keeps me coming back for all of my dental needs. It’s awesome. In fact, it now has my mother and father-in-law coming in, and it’s such a great experience that I had that keeps me and everybody that I know come on in.

I actually, seriously, I actually carry cards. “Here’s the guy to go see.” I’ve had several co-workers that have come to work going, “I’ve got a toothache,” or “I need this done,” and I’m not … it’s like, “Here’s the guy to go see.” Yeah, I know because I work in Boulder, I know it’s in Longmont, but guys, it’s well worth the drive to pop over there. They work with your schedule. If I could shout it from the rooftops I would, I would. It’s just been such an incredible experience from the other experiences that I’ve had that he’s never going to get rid of me.

I equate the dentist with pain, and I haven’t felt any pain at all. I even had to have a root canal, and it was in the front tooth. I am so happy that he did it, because he did a great job. I didn’t feel anything. I watched TV while he was doing it. I had fallen years ago, and I hit my front tooth. And as years went on, it darkened and darkened and continued to get darkened. And then every time I would talk to someone, they would be staring at my tooth. And finally they took X-rays and said that it, basically, it’s dying, and that I had to have a root canal and a crown, which completely I was afraid of. And I came in, he did it, and he did an amazing job. And now I can’t stop smiling. Oh, I would tell them they would feel comfortable coming to Silver Leaf Dentistry. Yeah, very. And Dr. Wallin and Sabrina, they’re great. They make you feel very comfortable.

I was working one day, and I have a four-unit bridge on the upper right side of my mouth, and one day I was working along and all of a sudden, I felt gritty in my mouth. I was like, “Wow, that feels like filling.”

So, what had happened was a large piece of my crown came off, and it didn’t hurt or anything, but I called down here and they said, “Yeah, we’ve got an opening at such and such time in an hour, come on and we’ll fit you in and take a look at it.” He was able to … actually, only needed to smooth it out, but I did lose quite a bit of the structure, so we talked about in the future, because it’s a large amount of work, that we need to schedule it in sometime to get that replaced.

Well, it’s incredible because I can call up and even if they don’t have an opening, they will make an opening for me, especially if it’s an emergency situation. I’m only three miles away, so that really helps too because I don’t have to go out of town to get a good dentist.

You’re greeted with a smile as soon as you walk in. You’re like Norm on Cheers, everybody knows your name. Everybody brings you in. You know, they know about you. Everybody from the dental assistants to the hygienists, even since I don’t use a hygienist. She’s even popped in and went, “Hey, how you doing?”

They offer a plethora of things while you’re working. I mean, they’ll hold your hand if you need it. They have a great video screen above the chair to where while they’re working on you, if you wanna put the headphones on, listen to music, watch Netflix to keep you occupied and your mind off of what they’re doing.

They were great with all the comforts of anesthetizing the area to just keep me calm, always checking to make sure every time, “Is this okay? Are you feeling good? How’s this working for you?” Just to put you totally at ease when you’re in here.

I suffer hugely from white-coat syndrome, and you couldn’t even tell from my blood pressure that I was in a chair. It’s just totally, they treat you like you’re the most important thing in the world, and it’s just awesome.

Dr. Wallin and the staff, again, it’s that friendliness, that ability to put kids at ease. My daughter unfortunately inherited my bad teeth, and she comes in quite often. And they are always just very kind, very gracious to her, and really make sure that she feels good when she’s coming in to get procedures done. And that’s important to me as a mom.

They work within your schedule. They’re a family-owned practice, so they understand family scheduling, between baseball, basketball, and my daughter’s school. They’re very willing to get us in when we need to, when we have to, and work around with our schedule to accommodate that. And that makes it very easy having two kids with two busy schedules. They work well with our insurance, and they just work well overall, welcoming us and making sure we know, again, what’s happening, what’s going on, and are just very friendly in the process of doing it all.

I had had a crown put on many years ago at another practice, and I had a huge margin in it, and I was constantly getting food particles in there. Very tired of tooth picking it out all the time and flossing it. I asked Dr. Wallin if he would do a crown for me and he said yeah, and in fact he agreed with my assessment as far as where it was at and everything. I came in and we had it done and within a week or so, I had a brand-new crown.

He was able to close the margin on it and barely … was able to floss on each side very tight. I’ve had incredible luck with it so far.

It looks great. It matches … my shade matches. If you didn’t know it was there, you’d never know.

Well, I very much like this practice. Dr. Wallin is an excellent dentist. He’s got a great chairside manner. He’s very calm, patient, knowledgeable. He has great communication skills with the patients. He listens and shares his thoughts and ideas, but he respects the patient’s opinion too.

The reason I came here, initially, was I hadn’t had any dental work done in way too long of a time period. I had to get something done, and I buy from the bread store, next door, and I’d seen this and somehow saw that they had some sort of a price special for first-time visits. And I thought, “Well, I have to go someplace, so I’ll just give these guys a try.”

I found them to be way more friendly than any place I’d been. I’m mean, they’re really sincere. They’re genuine, I guess, is a word I would use. They’re really genuine, down-to-earth people with no pretenses, no arrogance, just good friendly folks. You can tell that they not only enjoy what they’re doing, they care about my health. That, to me, was probably the biggest difference of anything. I figured I had to have some work done, but where? And this was one of those things, you know, give it a shot, see what you think. But I like the people and, especially, Dr. Wallin is great. I mean, he’s as friendly and as gentle as anybody gets.

Speaking of gentle, the cleanings, the girl here that does the cleanings is the most gentle person I’ve ever visited. You can tell I have a few years under my belt, so I’ve been to several, and she’s definitely the best. I recommend them anytime anybody says they need a dentist. I tell them, “This is the place you need to go.”

I was in my 20s when I first lost all of my teeth, and I first got dentures. These are my third set of dentures. The set of dentures that I had were basically worn out. They were ill-fitting, all the teeth were flat, so it was time to be able to try to eat again. So I found them and, like I say, we went through some of the discussions on my different options. They said that the new technology that was out and the way he does it is way different from any other experience that I had. Some of the other places that I had been was, they do a set of impressions, next day you get your dentures – “Have a good time with those.” There was no, “Okay, let’s do a mock-up, see how these are going to fit. Okay, no, not quite right, let’s make them perfect.”

To take the time to actually do that other than just handing you a product and saying, “You’ll get used to it,” it was, the way I had to get used to it was, to be able to eat properly, to be able to chew properly, have a proper bite again – that’s what I had to get used to as opposed to, “Here’s a set of dentures. Go for it. Have a good time with that.” You know, “Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.” Just keep checking with me to make sure that the dentures are going great.

We did go with the anchored option. Doc said that would change my life, and aw, man, he was right. It’s like having, well, it’s better than having my old teeth when they were originals. They’re better than the originals, and he brought me out all the information on it, and went through, actually showed me how the procedure was going to happen, showed me X-rays of, “This is what it’s going to look like when you’re done. This is how it works.” Brought me examples of everything, and it was a no-brainer. From the difference between just having a denture and having the anchors, it was a no-brainer.

It’s like day and night compared to just a regular denture, having the implants. It’s just been awesome having the new set in my mouth. It’s great being able to have steak, have an apple, fruit, take something and bite it, as opposed to having to cut it up into little pieces and then try to chew. It’s been awesome. It has truly changed my life.

I have a major fear of the dentist but at Silverleaf I feel more relaxed than ever before. The waiting area is like sitting at home, the Netflix while being worked on is a great distraction, and everyone there is so understanding, helpful, caring and kind.  I need a lot of work done and no one ever made me feel like I was a bad person for waiting as long as I did.

Angela

Incredibly friendly staff. They talked me through everything they were doing and made sure I was comfortable at all times. They were also very flexible with their schedule and allowed me to stay and have my teeth fixed the same day as my cleaning.

Evan

Too many dentists now are part of big corporate chains that seem not to much connection with their patients. I like this dentist more every time I come back.  Everyone is really friendly and positive even early in the morning. Being that it had been years since I regularly went to the dentist, I am still fascinated with all the new and modern technologies used at this office to provide a more thorough and improved dental experience.  I haven’t had any work done aside from exams, cleanings, and fluoride treatments so I will have to update my review if I ever need anything else done (I really hope I don’t)

Dr Wallin is great with children, he has cared for all 4 of mine, and emphasizes not only how but why they should take care of their teeth, showing them the X-rays and pictures and communicating directly with them. It really helps them to feel responsible! The office hours make it easy to get an appointment, and Amy at the front desk is so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

K. D.

Very nice people. It was our daughters very first visit to a dentist. They were so kind and gentle with her she was not afraid at all and had such a positive experience! Thank you to all!

Lynn

I had to find a dentist I could afford to have a lot of work done with.  Silver Leaf was able to help me with financing so I didn’t have to chose between my house and my teeth.  The staff is wonderful and caring.  I have had great dentists in my life, but none compare.  Everyone I spend time with from Amy at the front to the assistants and Dr. Wallin are wonderful. Thank you to everyone at Silver Leaf Dentistry.

Megan

I am always pretty skeptical about finding a new dentist because I am familiar with this field, having worked in dentistry in the past. I felt pretty good when I walked into the office, not only be welcomed by Dr. Wallin himself, but to see such a beautiful office. I was here for a general cleaning, and exam. This took all of about an hour and a half, which is typical seeing how I was a new patient, had a cleaning, full mouth set of x-rays, and an exam. I had a great cleaning done by Shelby, who was gentle, but good! She got all the staining of my teeth, and my teeth felt so smooth! YAY! I then had my x-rays done by Kate the dental assistant who was also fantastic! Quick and painless x-rays are always the best! haha! Dr. Wallin then did my exam, and found no cavities or troubles with my mouth! Double YAY! He’s a super sweet, genuine guy who seems to really take into account all his patients. Amy the office manager/front desk coordinator is also a sweet heart! She worked with me via email to schedule mine and my boyfriends appointments, and got us in asap! Love this place! Highly recommend! Good job Silver Leaf Dentistry!

Nea

The entire staff here are very nice and competent. My daughter and I just went for our check-up and cleaning today. My daughter finished sooner than I did and they set her up with a movie and headphones. She has never been so happy to be at the dentist.  I would recommend this office to anyone who wants a great experience.

Rea

The customer service and genuine care for the patient here is amazing. I would recommend this place to everyone and believe me if you go here you are certainly in good hands!
