    I’ve been going to alpine dental for over 10 years, Dr. Ben Leaver is the best dentist I’ve come across. Alpine dental is worth traveling from Seattle WA to Farmington UT for dentist check ups and cleanings. Alpine dental is who I recommend even when I am states and counties away knowing everyone’s teeth are in the best hands between the hygienists and Dr. Leaver.Staff is always professional super friendly, Facility is always clean. Staff is great with kids even when they aren’t the patient. I Highly recommend Dr. Ben Leaver and the wonderful staff they are great for everyone especially those who’ve had bad experiences with other dentists like myself.

    Staff is wonderful and I can’t say enough positive things about Dr Leaver. I was having horrible teeth pain on Sunday and he told me to come in and he’d take a look. He was able to locate the problem tooth and stop the pain! So so grateful. Alpine dental is the best. Highly recommend!

    My first visit and I really liked everyone there. The hygenist, Lara, did a better job cleaning my teeth than anyone ever has. Dr. Leaver was thorough and helpful and open for discussion and questions. A safe and friendly environment.

    It is rare to find a place of business that is a good experience. From experience a Dental visit is bad news and expensive. I have bad teeth. The best part about Alpine Dental, is everybody cares. They’re glad to see you. No one complains about having to be there. They are overly attentive, that you pass the don’t want to bother them stage, to you really know they care and want to help. Dr. Leaver always keeps you informed, explains until he knows you understand, tells you what to expect and does really try to get the best improvement for long term at the best price. I was referred to him because I was on my 3rd dentist since I moved from Cache Valley. The best part is they get along so well they seem like a family and they made me feel like part of they’re family. He can help anybody. I would highly recommend Alpine Dental.

    I sincerely enjoy Alpine Dental. It probably helps that I brush and floss daily 🙂 but they are professional and friendly. It is a warm, comfortable environment where I get all my questions answered and of course great dental care. Dr Lever is great as is my Hygienist Brittany. Thanks to both of them and the front desk staff for a first class experience. I highly recommend Alpine Dental. Thanks!!

    Very thoughtful with their precautions during this pandemic. As always, staff has been top of the line, friendly, personable - they don't feel like strangers at all like I was used to with other dentist offices. I love the appointment reminder texts as well.

    The best dental care my family and I have ever received. Which would explain why we’ve been going to Alpine Dental for the last fourteen years. In addition to giving such great care, they have the latest equipment/technology and the best staff EVER. You’ll never want to go anywhere else. 🙂

    I had an emergency visit to Alpine Dental today.. They went up and beyond to get me in the same day I called. Then upon my arrival I was greeted with the nicest and most professional Dental assistant. She stayed with me throughout my entire visit. She was far more than considerate, making sure to explain in detail, everything that was going to take place. When Dr. Leaver come into the room that same caring and considerate care continued. It was wonderful to experience the feeling that everyone in the office truly cared about what was the best way to help me. I was so comfortable that I felt like I had known all of them for years as cherished friends. I have never felt this way before about a dental office. It truly was a welcomed change. You will never regret going to Alpine Dental. They will have me as a client for life.
