I hate going to the dentist, for the most part, I believe thats how most of us feel. Whether its the cost, the waiting room/wait time, or just the unpleasant feelings in your mouth and in you stomach of what had just happened as you walk out of the office or wake up the next morning. However, after my last two visits to Salt Lake Dental, I have completely changed my outlook on getting dental work done, and Im even going to go as far as to say i feel sorry for some of the nice people Ive met in other dental offices. Ive had quite a few dentists because Im pretty picky and have moved a lot, and by far, Brigham Stoker and his staff are THE BEST!!! They worked with my busy schedule, the staff explained things clearly with my insurance and the costs, and they made sure I was comfortable the whole time I was there, whether it was during my short time in the waiting room or while I was watching netflix getting work done! Also, it wasnt just a simple explanation of what I needed done and what had happened. Instead, Brigham and his staff explained things clearly before he began and than after he was very patient and thorough while answering all my questions to make sure I understood everything, as well as to make sure that I was going to be as comfortable as I could be outside of his office. I wish I could explain the kind of pleasant atmosphere I was in or the type of relaxed and worry free feeling I had during and after I left, but all I can say is the way a dental experience should be like in this day and age, its the way Brigham Stoker and his staff get it done! I recommend him to anyone that is in need of an amazing dentist and everyone else who is second guessing their current one.

I hate going to the dentist more than anything in the whole world, and I avoided them for years. But then I went to Dr Stoker, and I dont even hate all dentists anymore. Im an expert because Ive seen him like seven times because my teeth are terrible and I eat too much sugar. My initial consultation was like an hour, which is longer than anyone else has spent w/ me. He was very thorough. Im a poor person, and he was very forthright about costs and very conscious of my budget. He was very good about prioritizing and telling me which teeth were in imminent danger, and the other ones that were decaying, but less urgently so. My only negative, which was a positive, is that they took photos inside my mouth with a fancy camera. It was maybe the most horrifying experience of my life - seeing my teeth in such high definition was GROSS. But it definitely helped me understand the depressing state of my teeth in detail, rather than a vague x-ray and taking the dentists word for it. I was scared of getting a crown on one of my front teeth and had avoided it my whole life because its such a prominent and I was afraid it could look worse. But he is a perfectionist and spent several hours redoing it until it was the exact shape and color we wanted. Oh and he has Netflix and the chairs are comfortable. My last dentist only had cable so I was stuck watching the MSNBC and commercials and it gave me additional anxiety. But now I look forward to the dentist so I can have time to watch Sherlock. His staff is on top of their game. They are all attractive & friendly humans. Highly recommend.

I generally enjoy fairly good dental health, but I have always dragged my feet about actually going to the dentist -- I guess maybe Ive been a little anxious/nervous in the past. As a matter of fact, aside from cursory annual medical readiness exams as a soldier in the National Guard, I had not been to a dentist in nearly 10 years, until a couple of weeks ago my fiancée pretty much forced me to make an appointment to see someone. I did not have a regular dentist so I chose Dr. Stoker pretty much at random, and I really feel like I got lucky with my choice! I guess if I had to pick one thing that has stood out to me in the time Ive spent in Dr. Stokers office, I would say its the way his staff seem to go out of their way to make the whole experience welcoming and comfortable. The other reviewers who talk about the friendliness of his staff are not kidding, it just seems like they are a great group of happy, confident professionals. Dr. Stoker himself is quite patient about answering questions and making sure you have a good understanding about whats going on in your jaw, so he has definitely earned my trust in the few visits Ive paid him. I am blessed that so far I havent had to have too much interaction with the medical system, but from what Ive seen at Dr. Stokers they are really doing something right there. If you are looking for a dentist, seriously do yourself a favor and give the folks at Dr. Stokers office a call, you will not regret it. Keep up the great work, guys!

Im a raving new fan of Dr. Stoker. I am so impressed. He is honest and will tell you candidly what your options are. He is skillful, has steady hands and is careful to make sure you arent experiencing any pain whatsoever. I didnt even feel the needle go in. Thats huge for me. His office is beautiful and professional, and his staff is exceptional. Im as loyal as they come and Ive been going to the same dentist for 10+ years. On my last visit, I was sent directly to a local specialist and hours later I was told I needed two root canals. I was shocked at how much they were going to charge me. I walked out feeling defeated. Later that night I asked a friend for advice and they sent me to Dr. Stoker. I was hesitant at first because I dont like change and I have sent many people to my other dentist over the years. Everything about my first visit to Dr. Stokers office was perfect. They got me in immediately, even though he is very busy. They were able to help me understand exactly what was going on with my teeth and provide immediate help, as well as options for what the next steps were. They were significantly less expensive than my other dentist and the other specialists. This was very important because I dont have dental insurance. I could go on and on... But lets just say that Dr. Stoker has a new, devoted client that will keep coming back for years to come.

I got a root canal the other day and was dreading going to the dentist to get it taken care of. I found Dr.Stoker and his staff online and decided to see if I could make an emergency appointment. They took me right in, and you would have never know I was a new patient. Emily, Brooke, Chanda, and Dr. Stoker treated me with great care. He took the time to get the pain under control and set an appointment for another day. When I came in, they were ready to put me in the chair and get to work. He answered any questions I had and addressed any concerns that may arise. As we looked at the X-Rays together, we showed me what would be involved in the root canal procedure and the options of filling the tooth verses putting on a crown. My fear was completely dispelled and as we went through the process of taking care of the tooth, the staff was very attentive to my comfort and care, I mean I got to watch Netflix for heaven sakes. Couldnt quite get Angry Birds figured out though, kind of tough with someones hands in my mouth. :) This was an awesome experience, and I look forward to having him as my permanent dentist. Thank you everyone in the office, your truly made my experience one to remember. You are awesome!
