Black Hills Area Dental

Moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota a year ago and found Black Hills Area Dental and never in my life have I been so happy about the work the entire office provides. The attention to details is amazing along with the special care they give you to make sure you know you are in good hands. Everything is done with quality and focus. I lived all across our great country and this is by far the very best dental office. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Dr. Samuelson!

I tried a few dentists in Rapid City before giving up and not seeing a dentist for I'm ashamed to say how many years. When it was time to see someone co-workers encouraged me to see the team at Black Hills Area Dental and I'm so glad I did. For years I have been unhappy with my smile, needing some cosmetic work done I was afraid I would be told I needed so much more than I wanted like I had in the past, but the whole team made me feel comfortable. I was never pushed to do more work than I wanted or made to feel uncomfortable in anyway. Being a patient at Black Hills Area Dental you know they truly have your best interest at heart. From a simple cleaning to some of the more major work I have had done I was have always felt comfortable with ever step of the process. In the last year I have gone from being afraid to smile in picture's to showing off my smile every chance I get. I cannot express how happy I am with my new smile and all the work Dr. Samuelson and his team did to make it happen. I look forward to me and my family to being patients for years to come.

Dr Samuelson did a great job of manipulating my teeth for crowns, they look great!

Our family has been patients at Black Hills Area Dental for twenty years because of the exceptional dental care we have always received. At one time a sign in the office alerted patients to the focus of this dental practice: "We treat your family as we would treat our family." Specifically, we appreciate the dental team--Dr. Bart Samuelson and Sandy--as well as the administrative team--Tara and Jodi.

I have been going to Black Hills Dental for years. The staff are wonderful and friendly and Dr. Samuelson is great. I come away happy and well cared for.

Great service today, great conversation too!

Full disclosure..... I work for an seo company which has no relationship or is doing business for Black Hills Area Dental. I've been a patient of Dr. Samuelson for several years. I can't tell you how caring this office is...from routine cleanings to emergency care they always make me feel like my comfort is they're top priority. I also believe I'm a challenging patient for them at times too, from not taking good care of my teeth all these years to waiting until last minute for emergency visits to fix a painful tooth, they always make me feel welcome and treat me with respect. Dr. Samuelson's the best. Thank you for making me feel important and have answers to my concerns before any procedure. Bad news... I've got a few crowns and a bridge coming this summer...good news is I'm going back to BHAD where I know I'll get good care. Patient for life.......Robert Sharp

Very rude receptionist. Pushing me to get multiple x-rays even though I had them recently taken at another dentist. They are trying to maximize profits and will likely push people towards unnecessary treatments to make more money. Seems like a scam to me.

Dr. Samuelson is unbelievably talented. I subjected my teeth to a 12-pack of soda a day for at least a couple of decades. He saved most of my teeth (I thought for certain, I'd be in dentures) and now I'm a proud new owner of a bright new smile. During covid, I figured what's the point of getting my teeth done if I'm just going to cover them up with a mask; however, pain is a great motivator and it came with a great epiphany: Smiling during a pandemic is a must, even if the only person that sees it, is looking in the mirror. Thank you Dr. Samuelson!

Excellent dentistry, with compassion. I highly recommend them.

If you are reading this review you are likely doing what I did before choosing Black Hills Area Dental. Honestly, I would stop looking for the best dentist because you found it right here. Dr. Samuelson, Bart, is tops in my book. The short of it is he saved my tooth, did a root canal, made a crown and cemented it in all in three visits. His concern for your comfort, pain and your teeth is chapter one in my book. To be a premier dentist you need great staff, they always make the dentist look good, and they are the best.

These folks really care! Make you feel "part of the family". They are all terrific from the front desk to Dr Bart. Best dental experience my husband and I have had in our 70+ years!

I love this dental office. I have been going here for several years and I always have a great experience. Dr. Samuelson does exceptional work and takes pride in that. When I walk in the door the front desk girls always know my name and greet me like a friend. They are all very kind people. I would recommend this office to anyone.

Dr. Samuelson is on the next level. One of the most professional and caring individuals you will ever meet in this industry. His staff is super friendly and professional as well. I cannot imagine taking my family to any other practice. I cannot say enough about Black Hills Area dental.

Amazing staff that go above and beyond to make your experience Wonderful! Dr. Samuelson does beautiful work and has a great personality to make you feel comfortable. If you are looking for a dental home try Black Hills Area Dental!

I love the staff and Dr Samuelson! I’ve been coming here for the last few years, I live in Denver and the drive is so worth it. Everyone is welcoming and remembers me every time I walk in the doors. I am not nervous to come to the dentist for once. I’m always given information about my teeth that will help for future visits and a healthy mouth. ?? Can’t say enough good things about this clinic. Thank you guys!!! ??

Worst experience ever.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bart for many years now. Top quality dental services, excellent staff, and comfortable environment. They are responsive as well, and have gotten me in fast when I needed urgent dental care. Most recently, I have been receiving treatment for Sleep Apnea and snoring. I did not want to go to a CPAP right away and was pleased to find out Black Hills Area Dental offered an alternate solution to my problem. I have been using the ProSomnus oral appliance for over a month now. I obtained immediate results with a better night's sleep. I no longer wake up multiple times throughout the night and feel more rested and energized the entire day. I highly recommend Black Hills Area Dental and Dr. Bart for your dental needs and especially for an alternative to a bulky CPAP machine if you are having trouble with Sleep Apnea.

Very gentle and extremely detailed. He stands behind his work and takes extra time when needed to do it right. Painfree process everytime. Staff is very nice, polite and friendly.

My friend, Carla, recommended this practice to me and I'm so grateful that she did. I've been their patient for years and wouldn't even consider going to anyone else.

Friendly staff, explained everything they were doing AND went over all images with me.

Chelsea and Jessica took fantastic care of both my husband and me! Dr. Samuelson was great too! This was our first visit after moving to South Dakota. Very happy with entire experience!

Friendly staff, cutting edge technology, In comforting surroundings. My entire family goes here and we're all very happy with our choice?

The billing department was flat rude, couldn’t seem to apply our insurance payments to the account after getting payment but would hound us to pay it. Very rude. Very unprofessional.

I had a great experience with Black Hills Area Dental. Dr. Samuelson done a great job, explained everything thoroughly. Everyone was very friendly, nice and helpful. I'll definitely be going back...

I have always had a very good experience at Black Hills Area Dental. I have been a loyal patient for many years and appreciate their attention to detail and their knowledge about dental health. They are always up to date with what is new in the dental world and use it in their practice. It's a great place for dental care for the whole family!

Very helpful, professional and friendly. I was very worried about pain as I needed work on a tooth that has caused lots of problems In the past. They gave me extra pain relief during my filling and I was very grateful!

These folks are so nice! Almost makes a person "want" to go to the dentist!

Kind, understanding, patient, gentle.

I love how the staff here consistently goes above and beyond always providing the best possible level of care. I've been going to Black Hills Area Dental and trusting Dr. Scranton for my dental work for years. Thank you all for making something like going to the dentist a great experience:)!

I've always had a great experience at BH Area Dental. They are great working with my insurance and always up front about any costs. Dr. Samuelson is always great, explains what he's doing, what your options are, and remembers all of his patients. His hygienists have also always been great!

This is simply a great dental office. Great, professional care. Michael E. Hogue, MD

Great service. I'm very happy. I had be rescheduled a couple times because Dr. Samuelson had things come. No big deal - I'm a clinician so I understand that that can happen. Both times I received a gift card from Dr . Samuelson. Totally unnessecary but much appreciated gesture. Staff is very friendly. Appt. reminders efficient. Great dentist office. I'm confident that I'm getting the best care possible from both dentists (I have seen both) and their team.

Incredible work. I have never felt so well taken care of! Thanks Dr. Bart

I have gone to Black Hills Area Dental since I was teenager. I could not imaging going to any other clinic. Just recently, I had to have an old filling replaced due to normal wear and tear. I absolutely dread getting numbing injections for fillings and the continued numbness after the procedure. Dr. Scranton informed me they now could numb the respective tooth with a laser rather then numbing that entire side of the mouth. I barely felt a thing! I was able to go to dinner right after the procedure without having to worry about biting my cheek or tongue.

I cannot say enough good about Dr. Samuelson and BH Area Dental. I just had extensive dental work done there - bridgework that encompassed ten teeth - and I am THRILLED with both the care I received and the final result! Everything, from the prep work to the temporary bridge to the final permanent bridgework, was done with care and precision. Dr. Samuelson works with a master ceramist and that is a winning combination. His staff is excellent as well. Thank you Dr. Samuelson for giving me a beautiful smile!

The staff are so friendly, kind and helpful. I always dread going to the dentist to get cavity fillings. Guess what my experience was amazing. I didn't have to have any numbing medication. Thats right no numbing!!! they used a new laser that makes it pain free and simple. I got three done at one time and i was able to eat and drink right away and didn't have to wait for the medication wear off. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Dr. Samuelson is great! I just had exstensive work done and he was very gentle. I love this whole office from the hygienists to the assistants to the front office. I would highly recommend this office.

Everyone was so helpful and kind. They made sure I was comfortable and answered all my questions. Best of all, it was as close to painless as a trip to the dentist could be! Thank you Betsy, Jenny and Dr. Bart!

As good an experience as you can get, when you have to visit the Dentist, everyone is friendly, caring, and Dr. Samuelson is very gentle.

Always extremely helpful and knowledgeable. First dentist I've enjoyed going to. Will recommend to family and friends. Very friendly staff and flexible with times and emergency appointments.

This practice is super! They are always prompt with keeping timely appointments, courteous, and the serve with the patients interest in mind. I like how they are always concerned about comfort and keeping you informed about what they are doing during throughout the appointment. Highly recommended!

I love coming here! Everyone is really nice and explains things in a way that I understand. They are very gentle while cleaning my teeth and never trick me into getting stuff done that costs extra money.

I always receive the best treatment. Everybody there is very courteous and caring.

All the staff at Black Hills Area Dental are absolutly amazing. I have high anxiety when going to the dentist and all the staff make my anxiety levels a lot lower then they use to be. They are a great bunch of people and really make me feel comfortable.

I had extensive dental work including implants which was something I've always wanted. Dr. Samuelson and his staff went above and beyond to make the process as seamless as possible. Thank you!

Always great dentist and staff is amazing. All about keeping you comfortable. Even won a iPad for referring a friend. They rock!
