10/10 recommend. Today was my first time visiting. I needed a wisdom tooth pulled asap. They squeezed me in same day that I called needing to make an appointment. As a new client(paperwork), xray/scan, getting checked, numbed, tooth pulled, scheduled my next appointment and checked out... altogether took LESS THAN AN HOUR. They are SO pleasant, thorough, supportive(I was nervous as most people are at the dentist) Autumn held my hand,Carrie talked me through everything and made me feel at home, Dr. Carpenter is down to earth, gentle, honest, and the front desk ladies Gail and Virginia are so personable, such lovely gals. I don't think I'll ever be nervous again to go to the dentist! THIS PLACE, is where you wanna go
Awesome experience! They took the time to do things right! They understand they are the gatekeepers of our health! Aubrey, Shelby and Dr. Post were skilled and kind!
Very professional and made me feel comfortable after avoiding dentists for several years.
My family has been going to Dr. Carpenter for 14 years, ever since my kids had their first appointments as babies. Dr Carpenter is fantastic with kids. He has seen me for several emergencies and also an emergency for my mom when she was visiting from out of town. His staff is always friendly. Bailey and Lisa are amazing hygienists. I would highly recommend Carpenter Dental for your family dentistry needs!
I love everything about Carpenter Dental! Friendly staff, great service and excellent work!
Always a great experience! Amazing staff
All the staff at Carpenter Dental make us feel so welcome! Dr Thorsen and Betsy are excellent Providers! I trust them completely with all my family’s dental.
We have been patients here for many years, and I have recommended them from day one! We’re always comfortable, and trust the advice we receive. Our kids have always had wonderful experiences and know they will be treated well. I can’t say enough good things about everyone we’ve worked with at Carpenter Dental! Thank you for being great people and providers!
Everyone was very kind and patient. No one ever likes getting their teeth worked on, but it was not an unpleasant experience with Carpenter Dental! Love my dentist Dr Post!
I was nervous to get my first tooth pulling experience without being sedated, however Dr. Post and the rest of the staff made it so much easier and calmed me throughout the entire process.
I recently visited Carpenter Dental, after being newer to the area and needing to get new Doctors, I am very pleased with my decision! The office is beautiful, the front desk staff is very friendly and efficient while being greeted with a smile and I got in shortly after my arrival without a long wait in the lobby. I saw Dr. Post and her assistant Beth, who was very professional and thorough and explained anything that she needed to. I would definitely recommend Dr. Post and I will be back for future cleanings! Thank you!
Carpenter Dental is a high quality dental office. They are very friendly from the moment you step into their office, and the trend continues as you get your teeth cleaned. Highly recommend Carpenter Dental if you’re looking for a new dentist or are new to town!
Carpenter Dental is top notch! As soon as I walked threw the doors, I was greeted by a very friendly staff. I was very anxious, as it was my first time going to their office. They assured me that everything was going to be fine and they were exactly right. They made me feel comfortable and made sure I was doing good throughout the entire appointment. The doctor's came and checked on me throughout my appointment to continue to make sure I was comfortable. The doctor's and the whole staff were so professional and answered all my questions. I knew that Carpenter Dental was the best choice I could have made to have my teeth worked on.
From the time you walk in the door until you leave you are welcomed with smiling eyes. This group of people are focused on giving you your healthiest looking smile!
I am travelling the US and needed emergency help for a cracked filling and crown that came off. After a few calls I reached Carpenter Dental to make a same day appointment. From the moment i arrived everyone was so pleasant, kind and helpful. Everything was perfect-- they fixed both problems comfortably (no pain!) in just over an hour. I highly recommend them.
I do not typically post a bad review but I feel everyone should know our experience. After multiple attempts to get my entire family to do unnecessary crowns fillings fluoride treatments etc. we have switched to a honest dentist that is not out to get every penny for unnecessary dental work! Carpenter dental will push every boundary to do any dental work they can possibly get away with! My wife was told she needed four crowns thousands of dollars worth of dental work. After going to our new dentist like we suspected her teeth are perfect! Beware!
When I get compliments about my smile I wish people knew how sensitive and troublesome my teeth/gums are, and how much I dread “going to the dentist”! Upon moving to the Black Hills, the team at Carpender Dental has always made sure I have everything I need for a successful appointment. They genuinely understand my ridiculous anxiety (they luckily never took my past experiences personal) and they make sure I am completely comfortable every single time. It is a huge relief that the staff knows my routine and always remember my preferences! I should also mention I’ve had Chad Carpender transform an awful chip on my front tooth, fill cavities, graft a handful of spots for gum recession, and more. I’ve always been pleased with the results and genuinely grateful for everything he has done. I recently brought my 15 month old in for his 1st appointment. They made it fun and I am excited for my son to associate “going to the dentist” as a positive experience, as it really is something we should all look forward to!
$$$$ over $500 to pull one tooth. Less than 30 minutes cost over $500.
I had come to town for sight seeing and had cracked a tooth in half eating popcorn one night. I called several dentists looking for someone willing to get in this urgent need to extract the tooth, but most of them wanted to charge for a visit then refer me to an oral surgeon. I have no insurance, so two emergency visits and one more expensive than the other was not only a waste of time and money, but also more painful for me. Dr. Carpenter's office got me in within an hour of my call, helped me get set up for Care Credit to make payments on the visit, and assured me it would be taken care of. The staff was incredibly kind and courteous. The dentist was equally kind and he did an amazing job, was so considerate, I wished I could bring him back to Wisconsin with us for our regular family dentist. I couldn't believe how thoughtful and considerate everyone was. It made a very anxious situation so much better. I feel beyond blessed to have found this dentist and that they put the care and needs of their patients, even those from out of town, above all else! We discovered a rare gem in this mining town!
I recently made the decision to try The Invisalign treatment to correct some bite issues I was having. Dr. Post and Shelby were very thorough (and patient) with me to help get me started. I had a lot of questions but I feel they were all answered to my satisfaction. The staff is always professional and friendly whenever I come in. Kudos Dr. Post!
Carpenter Dental has been so good to my family, especially my girls. I took my oldest to Black Hills Pediatric Dentistry and they wanted to put her under to fill her cavities. This didn't sit right with me. I called Carpenter Dental and the dentist was so kind and said he would be happy to take a look and fill the cavity without putting my daughter out. This put me at ease. My girls love their checkups at the dentist. Crystal makes sure they leave with a smile on their face and prizes in hand. Great service and caring employees.
While i was not a patient the staff was awesome, place was very clean and there were from what i saw little wait times. I would recommend this dentist.
Amazing patient-centered people!! We're from out of town and on vacation from Nashville, TN, but Rapid City people... this is one of the finest, most caring dental offices I've ever seen! If you need a dentist, this is the place! The following is lengthy, but it demonstrates the quality patient-centered care I recieved! My family and myself had flown into the area to visit beautiful South Dakota for vacation. Unbeknownst to me, I had an old root canal that had become problematic, painful, and infected. I tried to wait until Monday, but the pain was too great and began too spread and it had started to swell. Not knowing what to do, and I had a heart valve replacement last year, I knew and infection in my mouth was not good—not too mention the pain. Oh, that pain! So, after not sleeping at all Friday night I began calling several Rapid City dentist office and leaving messages and calling emergency numbers. Dr. Carpenter was the ONLY dentist that returned my call and he did promptly, considering it was 9am on a Saturday!! Dr. Carpenter called me back and we discussed what was going and he asked to see me and he was going to call one of his assistants to meet us there. We drove into Rapid City from Wall, SD and met Dr. Carpenter and Kala at the office. They asked my family to come in and made them comfortable, which was an awesome gesture, and then took me back and got me examined. Being from out of town, on vacation, and they came in on an emergency basis, Dr. Carpenter and Kala, still gave me options considering my treatment and even consulted with my dentist back home (which I had earlier called). That was amazing! Thank you Dr. Carpenter and Kala, for taking time for an emergency case! The residents and visitors of Rapid City are lucky to have you!!! A part of me, and an back molar, are now a part of South Dakota forever! ? God Bless you and your staff!
Hands down the best dentist office I've ever been to. Dr. Carpenter went above and beyond for me! I needed an emergency dental procedure a week before my wedding and they went out if their way to make it happen. I can't say enough nice things about this place. They are so wonderful about checking in and I can really tell they care about their patients. The work they completed was a miracle. I strongly recommend!
I have only positive things to say about Dr. Carpenter and his staff. He has gone up and beyond, even outside of business hours. Great atmosphere while making one feel as comfortable as possible. Very reasonable and straight forward.
Everyone is always friendly and eager to help! They are amazing with my 8 year old son.
Kind staff and fun to work with. My kids never liked going to the dentist until we started here. That's for everything. P.s. Crystal Barber is the best ?
Couldn’t be happier with my decision to trust Carpenter dental for my dental work. Chad and his staff are knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and very professional. Thanks for what you do.
Dr. Carpenter and staff, from the hygienists to the front desk, are an amazing group individuals committed to exceptional dental care. This afternoon I had Invisalign put on by Dr. Post and Aubrey. They both made the experience so easy and fun I almost forgot I was at the dentist. Take it from a long time patient, if you’re searching for a dentist in Rapid City give Dr. Carpenter’s office a call; you’ll be glad you did.
I absolutely love going to Carpenter Dental! They are the friendliest staff and the most thorough hygienist’s. I usually cannot wait until my next appointment!! I always leave happy?
When we moved our family of seven to Rapid City in 2017, friends suggested that we go to Carpenter Dental. On our very first visit, we were welcomed with great hospitality and great service. Every time we go for a dental hygiene visit or for dental work, we are treated with the same warmth and genuine kindness that we received on our first visit. In addition to great hospitality (and coffee) the dental hygienists are experienced, gentle and take great pride in their work (a special shout-out to Lisa, whom I also have as my hygienist). Dr. Carpenter is excellent too and takes time to joyfully visit with each patient to get to know them personally and explain their dental situation in layman's terms. I cannot imagine a finer place for families to go for all their dental needs. Thank you to the Carpenter Dental team for your great service to my family and so many other families in the Rapid City area.
The entire staff at Carpenter Dental are amazing! They are friendly, professional and provide excellent care. I have high anxiety when it comes time to sit in the dentist chair. My anxiety has subsided because I know Dr. Thorsen and Betsy will take their time with any procedure; always making sure I am comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Chad or Dr. Thorsen and their team to anybody that is looking for a dental care provider they can trust.
I had a bike accident and damaged my front teeth. Dr. Post did a great job repairing them. They look great. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They have done some other work on my teeth, Dr. Post always tell you exactly what she is going to do. She does a great job and is very professional.
The staff here are so kind and knowledgeable! They were so helpful and I look forward to working with them into the future!
The staff is amazing at Carpenter Dental. I have recently had some major work done requiring several procedures. Throughout the entire process the staff has been nothing but patient and kind to make sure I was comfortable. I can say enough positivity things about everyone that works there.
Very great dentists there and everyone is so kind. The dentist and the assistant explains everything so well. Thank you Carpenter Dental.
Absolute amazing place!!! A true gem with world class customer service and dental professionals. Me and my family LOVE THIS PLACE!!! With them I always look forward to a visit. Mauricio J. Ehlert-Birriel, MD
Thank you Dr. Carpenter and staff for your excellent care. Going to Carpenter Dental is always a pleasant experience!
Overall pleasant experience from someone who is not excited about going to the dentist! Their bedside manner was excellent and worked with me and my issues! Dr Carpenter is the best! Lisa the hygienist is the best as well! Overall happy with the work they did for me! I would have to say that's the best dental experience I've ever had period!
Okay...a fun dentist, is it possible? At Carpenter Dental it is! Everyone is beyond kind, caring, knowledgeable, and informative. I just moved to Rapid and had a dental emergency. By word of mouth (pun not intended), Carpenter Dental was HIGHLY recommended. They were quick to get me in and they made a plan with me. I’m actually looking forward to going back. It felt as though you were catching up with good friends. That doesn’t happen! Dr. Thorsen (Thompson), Autumn, and Virginia were the most incredible people. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank y’all! ?
I’m from California and was here visiting family and came down with an excruciating toothache, after careful research I decided to go with Carpenter Dental and wow am I glad I did! They ended up getting me in the next day and I ended up needing a root canal. I have a pretty bad fear of needles and they made me so comfortable and made sure to verbalize everything they were doing. Dr. Post performed the procedure and Aubrey assisted and I felt SO at ease under their care. There were no surprises and it was a perfect experience. It was painless, surprisingly relaxing, and relieving. I haven’t had a toothache in weeks and I am so happy with how everything went. Also I felt very safe with the covid precautions put in place. The office was immaculate and everyone was wearing masks the whole time. I will absolutely be making this my go to dentist when I’m here in South Dakota! Thank you again to everyone over there, you all are amazing and I can’t thank Dr. Post and Aubrey enough for the relief they have provided!
My visit to Carpenter Dental could not have been better. From the moment that I entered the office, I felt like all of the attention was focused on me. From my initial inspection, through having my teeth cleaned, consultation, and finally a plan for my treatment, it felt like family. Betsy, Aubrey and Dr. Thompson made me comfortable with my treatment and thoroughly explained my many options for my dental health moving forward. I have never recommended a Dental Office before, but now I can thanks to the amazing staff at Carpenter.
I have had TMJ problems for years I have tried all different kinds of retainer form thick to thin to wearing them 24/7, tops at night or bottoms during the day. I went to Carpenter Dental and there’s no more making molds. They simply scanned my mouth and the retainer made from the scan fit like a glove not to thick not to thin no wires in them absolutely prefect would recommend to absolutely anyone and my jaw hasn’t hurt since! THANK YOU!
Fantastic place with an incredibly skilled and friendly staff that truly cares about your wellbeing. 100% recommend!
Awesome Dentists here very conscious and caring ,they try to work with your budget and they take care to be gentle and caring and their knowledge is the best i have ever experienced and I've been to dentists in different countries, these guys are the best I've experienced. Thank you all at Carpenter Dental. Maholo, Karen Williams.
I wish i could give more than 5 stars. "The kickoff to a 4 day weekend starts with extreme dental pain." Carpenter Dental not only took a new patient on the spot but at the very last possible minute of the day. Carpenter Dental staff excels at "People" Service. I say this because i was never made to feel like a patient or customer, they made me feel comfortable and welcomed. This office closes at three and on the start of a 4 day weekend the staff stayed hours later than that to take care of my needs and never expressed anything other than concern for my comfort. Josh is excellent at relieving financial anxiety. If you are in need of dental services, look no further than Carpenter Dental. Dr. Post, her assistant Aubrey, and Josh are the epitome of "excellence", From the welcome at entrance to the follow up call to see how you are CARPENTER DENTAL REALLY DOES CARE.... Thank you for everything you have done this far and i appreciate all the compassion from Carpenter Dental.
Dr. Carpenter was determined to find a solution to my dental needs. He was sincere, kind, and the whole staff was polite and welcoming. Would recommend to everyone!
I am extremely happy with the quality of work I received at Carpenter Dental. I needed some work on my front teeth to repair some damage. I couldn't be happier with the results. My teeth feel great and everything looks completely natural!
Dr. Carpenter and his associates are the true definition of “caring about their patients”! They consider every single facet, from comfort to billing, when creating a positive customer experience. The environment is 100 percent professional and every single room feels brand new. They are absolute artists, even with temporary work! As one who has some severe dental anxiety, this place is not a place of fear. I wish there was a way to give more than 5 stars!
First visit and I feel very welcomed and taken care of! I feel very confident I will be taken care of through out future visits as well!
I love this place and will not go anywhere else. I've been seeing Dr. Carpenter for years and not only do I get excellent service with great communication about what I can expect but the ladies up front always make me feel like I am a friend when I come in. Very positive experience with the staff and they always make me smile (pun intended)
Chad Carpenter does awesome work and all the gals in the office are so nice and caring. The office is very comfy and up to date with the latest technology. Thanks for all the great work!
Thank you Dr. Carpenter for a great experience getting my first dental implant. You and your staff are amazing and made the experience a pleasant one. I’d give you more than 5 stars if it’d let me. Thank you!
Best experience I've ever had at a dentist.
Dr. Carpenter is awesome!
Awesome staff and customer service! Everyone is so nice and helpful. Also, they are great with kids.
Carpenter Dental has the most wonderful staff! They did a phenomenal job on cleanings and additional work. My husband, son and I all agree they are the best!
I have been going to carpenter dental for 10 years. Dr. Carpenter has always taken good care of me. He does great work and Carter's to whatever his patient needs. Some might say he is a tooth artist.
Love the care provided here!!! They do an awesome job! Thank you for your excellent care.
What an amazing place the treatment I received from chad and the staff is the best treatment I’ve ever received at a dental office the compassion they have for their patients is top notch
Carpenter Dental is top notch! The staff are friendly, genuine and our appointments always run on-time. We’ve been with them for over 10 years after an “emergency visit” on a Saturday with Dr. Carpenter. Thank you!!
Best dentist in the region. I've been going here for years and don't ever plan on changing. Dr. Carpenter is great and always takes the time to ensure the best care and has an excellent staff all around him. They have the knowledge and equipment to best serve your every need and they offer to text appointment reminders approximately a week before. Overall, Carpenter Dental makes your visit to the dentist as painless as possible!
It's always a great experience working with Dr. Carpenter and his staff! They are always accommodating and friendly. Dr. Carpenter is an amazing dentist and truly cares about all his patients. My children always feel safe and cared for, and I appreciate that. I highly recommend!
The staff and doctors were all very professional and personable. They are always concerned for your well being and comfort during whatever procedure you are undergoing. They treat you like you are one of the family. Dave B.
This was my first time to meet with a dentist and Carpenter Dental went way above my expectations. Very friendly staff, they walk you through steps and explain with detail what is going on. They do a great job taking care of your teeth and give you wonderful advise. I will definitely visit Carpenter Dental again and spread the good news out there.
Excellent professional service! Highly recommend Dr . Carpenter! Office staff & hygienists excellent & helpful! They place a high priority on comfort during care.
You are treated like family! They know everyone in the family and they take the time to explain the plan, what it will cost and what you can expect insurance to cover. I highly recommend Dr Carpenter and his staff if you are looking for long-term dental care!
Great experience -the entire staff is so friendly with huge smiles when you walk in the door. Highly recommended!
I have had nothing but great reviews for Carpenter Dental. The service and staff are the best. They are very professional and helpful. Dr. Carpenter is very thorough and has the best interest of his patients at all times. I highly recommend Carpenter Dental.
Great staff, doctors and customer service. I love this place. I highly recommend it!!!
Chad Carpenter and his staff at Carpenter Dental provide an excellent environment for dental care. The building they work out of is beautiful, very clean, and always comfortable. I've really appreciated how the staff is so accommodating and organized regarding patient scheduling. What a great place to receive highly skilled dental care!
Dr. Carpenter and all of his staff are wonderful. They took extra effort to make me comfortable . Two new crowns, all in one visit. Love the new teeth Chad!
This place is amazing. I have never seen such advanced dental technology at any other practice. The staff and dentists are kind, efficient, and extremely thorough. I also love how generous and involved Dr. Carpenter is with the Rapid City community. Best dental experience I have ever had!
Going to the dentist is not my favorite place to go but the doctor and all the employees are so awesome! And very gentle and caring! My daughter and I have been going there for years and I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Thank you Dr. Carpenter and all the staff for making my very anxious and wiggly 8 year old feel safe and comfortable enough to have his filling done. You all were so patient, knowledgeable and empathetic. Thank you so much!
Very skilled excellent service, couldn’t be better
I have been bringing my family here for a few years. It is always a great experience.
No complaints, EVER! Professional, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere.
What an absolutely amazing dentist and staff. Was greeted as I walked in, and was in the chair at my appointed time. Dr. Carpenter spent a great deal of time speaking with me and talking about how my orthodontics (from another great dentist) were progressing. Talk about care. I would recommend Carpenter Dental to anyone in and around Rapid City.
Most professional and well trained staff I've been to, I had a great experience. The building is appealing to the eye and very clean, and has a pretty simple layout. They are all kind and very curious people, I highly recommend this establishment to anyone, no matter the age.
Everyone at this office is so friendly, from the front desk staff, to the hygienists, to Dr. Carpenter. They take the time to explain what they're doing and make it a pleasant experience!
Carpenter Dental is the bees knees! Absolutely the best Dentist and staff in town. I'm extremely impressed with not just the level of care but also the level of customer service and compassion each and every person there provides. If I could give 50 stars are would! I highly recommend Carpenter Dental for all your dental needs.
Like many people I hate going to dentists. Had an in depth gum and teeth cleaning. The office itself is state-of-the-art and I loved being able to watch TV with headphones. Bailey is the one who did my teeth and she could not have done any better. She was very patient and thorough. After the anesthesia wore off, I couldn't even tell where the injection sites were and I had no discomfort.
Dr. Carpenter and his staff always go ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure comfort!
Dr. Carpenter and his staff are so professional, but so welcoming at the same time. They make sure you're comfortable! Oksana was wonderful at getting my X-ray and panoramic X-ray done, as well as making sure I understood what all was going on. Dr. Carpenter got in and extracted my wisdom tooth and relieved me from so much pain! 10/10 would recommend.
Carpenter Dental is amazing! From the receptionists to the dental hygienists to Chad himself, very professional and friendly staff! Have never liked going to the dentist, but this office makes your visit very enjoyable - Highly recommended!
I've been going to Carpenter dental for many years. The staff is excellent and Dr. Carpenter is exceptional.
Dr. Carpenter and his staff are great at what they do! I came to their office several years ago needing emergency dental care. From that first visit and to this day, they treat me with the utmost respect. They don't make me feel ashamed about my teeth, are always upfront about costs and willing to work around finances, as well as making me very comfortable in the chair. For me, I feel like the numbing before a procedure is the worst part, but Dr. Carpenter always does such a great job at this! I never feel that painful pinch/ pressure. I usually find myself surprised that he's done. I love how their staff are so good at patient care and clean up during the procedures as well! I never feel like I'm choking or drowning during a filling, etc. The hygienists do such a wonderful job cleaning my teeth and recommending ways to improve my dental hygiene. Plus, they always have yummy flavors. I would recommend Dr. Carpenter and his team to anybody needing dental care.
