I’d highly recommend staying away from Boones Ferry Dental. I’ve been to a fair amount of dentists over the years, and the culture of patient intimidation and fear mongering that goes on here is disappointing. It’s across the board too: from the primary dentist, to the hygienist, to the frontdesk (it all starts at the top though, so I’m not surprised that it’s systemic).

I went in for a routine checkup after moving to a new area. I’d had a previous checkup with a great dentist just six months ago, where I had been receiving regularly scheduled cleanings. I asked Boones Ferry Dental for a routine exam and cleaning, and they proceeded to tell me that I needed to do extensive deep cleaning (that would be almost $2k dollars more, with a customer out of pocket of almost $250 for me). They were making statements that I had severe “disease of the gums”, that I was imminently in danger of potentially losing a tooth, and that it would be unethical of them to give me just a standard cleaning.

Doing this more expensive deep cleaning would also have to be over the course of 2 more additional visits. I explained to them that I couldn’t take that much time away from work, but offered to come in over the holiday break to do the deeper cleaning and would prefer a regular cleaning now. They refused to work with me.

I called my previous dentist, and he said that this was extremely bizarre behavior and that I should seek out another dentist in the area. Boones Ferry Dental still charged my insurance for an exam despite refusing me service on actually cleaning my teeth, so now I’ll need to seek out another opinion and likely deal with insurance consequences of another exam. I’d never have gone to Boones Ferry Dental had I know that they were interested in bullying customers through intimidation tactics to get them to spend more money – perhaps they’re hurting for business, but this strikes me as an unethical way to do business and treat customers.

At the very least, it is clear that they don’t value my time, they don’t actively listen, and they’re not interested in building a long term relationship with me as a customer. There are 20+ other dentists in the nearby area: do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Boones Ferry Dental has been where I go for as long as I can remember. Dr. Morrissey is a fantastic dentist who is incredibly knowledgeable and has great rapport with clients. Even though I only see him every 6 months he never fails to remember the small details about my life. I am always so happy whenever I show up and am greeted by Tobey, and my dental hygienist Lexie is a joy to be around! I recently had cavity filled which was surprisingly a pleasant experience. I could not recommend them more as a dental office!

I recently switched dental offices as my prior dentist (for 20+ years) retired. I was really anxious to switch but I had the best experience!!

The dentist was super kind and really did a nice job explaining things about my dental health and I couldn’t have been more impressed by the cleaning I was given by the hygienist- she’s hands down the best I’ve ever had.

Overall extremely impressed with everyone at this practice, really happy I made the switch!
