Dr Stender was an absolute pleasure to have as a dentist! I met him on my first visit- he was great doing an emergency extraction- also on my first appointment- He has the best customer service and dental skills combined that I have experienced in years!!! Very gentle - educational with details to help calm you down with better understanding of what’s happening! I had a moment arise of peak anxiety- he was so calming with his coaching back to normal breathing I am so grateful! This is a “ Diamond in the Rough “ ! The entire clinic was amazing with their customer service care as well!!!
I absolutely love this dental practice. The entire staff is consistently friendly, genuinely nice, and very helpful. I especially appreciate how the hygienists clearly explain each step of the cleaning process as they go. Highly recommend location.
I have had a great experience each time I’ve been from walking in to walking out. I’ve had Bre and Sydney as the assistants and both do such a great job. Dr. Stender was great as well. The whole team explains everything thoroughly. They tell you what to expect before doing something. They explain the process, why it’s needed, and the pathophysiology behind all of it. Makes me feel informed about what’s going on in my mouth. Love this whole team!
At 801 provides good dental care in a clean, modern office. The staff are friendly and professional, and the dentist takes time to explain procedures clearly. Appointments run fairly on schedule, though it can get a bit busy at times.
This was the best dentist office I’ve ever been. I am so happy with my results and how well they have guided me through my Invisalign. Everyone here has greeted me with nothing but kindness!

Gentle, modern dentistry with a focus on patient comfort and education.
