G. C. (Verified Patient)
2017:When we moved to Montana, I selected Big Sky Dental because Dr Clave chose the Polson area to raise is family, because he is relatively young which means more modern dental education and up to date treatments. We have not been disappointed. Excellent customer relations; excellent dentistry. Excellent staff. THANKS Dr Clave and all. 051718 forgot appt, got call to come in late anyway. See above, nothing has changed, except now familiar with staff and almost two years of dentistry to wife and I from Dr. Clave and staff – – top of the line! 052019 As ALWAYS, in for 6-mo cleaning/check up with my preferred dental hygenist. We left a great dental staff in Oregon and I researched thoroughly before choosing Big Sky. Modern, professional dentistry at its best. 112119 As ALWAYS, in for cleaning/check up with my preferred dental hygenist. As usual she did a great job – – no pain, lots of gain. Then with Dr Clave; took up some areas of concern, made plan, made appointments to carry out plan. Easy as 1, 2, 3, A, B, C – – – did Jackson Five just pass through? 120319 Bottom row, front five, surface fillings to prolong life and limit further friction/pressure damage – – without anesthesia; no pain. Then state of the art (digital) modeling for night guard. AS USUAL SUPERIOR patient care and gregarious and thoughtful staff. 010720 As ALWAYS, excellent staff, professional, friendly, prompt. 052620 Semi-ann cleaning. Wondered aloud why manual tools instead of the usual ultrasonics; advised that it is a Covid19 precaution as the ultrasonics cause an atmosphere/cloud of saliva moisture. Anyway, hygienist did the most comfortable cleaning with manual tools I have ever experienced! Viva, Big Sky Dental ! ! ! 120320 Semi-annual cleaning. Wondered aloud (habit) about continual upgrades to methods and equipment – Dr Clave upgrades methods and equipment when he is certain of a distinct value to both his patients and his practice. As usual, efficient, gregarious staff are the jewel in the crown (okay, okay, pun intended. 011922 In for semi-annual cleaning. Talked with Dr Clave about new equipments – he has his eye on upgrades that add to his ability to deliver modern dentistry to us patients. Then had teeth cleaned – expertly and painlessly AS USUAL. Big Sky Dental is TOPS! Highly recommend Dr. Clave and crew. 012423: As usual, from receptionist to hygeinist to dentist, on time, superbly professional but friendly – – engendering a comfortable atmospher – – this is the place! 030524 In for semi-annual cleaning. As usual, had teeth cleaned expertly and painlessly – – did I mention: AS USUAL? Talked with Dr Clave about his new lazer and its various applications; eight years ago, when we moved to Polson, one of the reasons we chose and have remained with Big Sky Dental is that Dr Clave ensures that his dentistry is kept modern. Kudos to Dr. Clave and crew ! ! ! 050824 In for cavity filling – – I can’t even believe I had a cavity! But, as usual, Dr Clave and staff got me in, prepped, fixed and out the door with a perfect fit filling. Again, did I mention: AS USUAL? Kudos … as usual … to Dr. Clave and staff. 100924 In for semi-annual cleaning- AS USUAL, excellent cleaning. Also discussed change in provider status with Delta Dental; we discussed pocketbook effect of change – – and discussed Big Sky Dental membership plan and benefits which appear to be significantly less expensive than my annual plan with Delta; am still doing some investigating but will probably drop Delta at end of plan year and go with Dr. Clave’s plan. Kudos to Big Sky for having the receptionist also be the billing person who is knowledgeable and can discuss ramifications of both plans! 070725 Consistency … see all previous postings for past eight years … the only thing that has changed is that Dr. Clave has continued to update his practices and equipments – including minor interior design which welcomes his patients. It doesn’t get any better – sure it does.
