Dr. Clave and his staff are amazing. I broke a tooth and was able to get in the next day and I have a brand new crown, no pain involved and I’m so grateful for the care that I get there. They are confident, fun to be around, and they know what they’re doing. Thank you so much, Big sky Dental. Sharon Adamson
Positive and pleasant staff.
I love Big Sky Dental! Lori, my hygienist, is the best! And Dr. Clave explains everything in detail, giving good advice and options. Emily, is also wonderful! The office is super clean, bathroom is well stocked, and everyone is so friendly and helpful. And they are always on time! I couldn't ask for more.
Can't speak highly enough of Dr. Clave and his staff at Big Sky Dental. They've gone above and beyond to give me professional dental care. The staff is always so helpful and personable, with a special shout-out to Emily at the front desk!
Great!
Dr and staff are great!
Wonderful staff, everyone is friendly! My husband and I have both had dental cleanings and dental procedures done here. They were gentle and through. Would highly recommend this practice!
Dr. Clave and his staff are absolutely remarkable. He is always so very helpful and his knowledge and care are phenomenal. Thank you Big Sky Dental Team!
Wouldn't go anywhere else to have my teeth cleaned., Love the staff
Dr. Clave and staff are very capable, kind, and helpful. I felt comfortable and cared for. I have not had any issues with my recent crown or filling. I feel fortunate to have such great care.
Always a pleasant experience. My teeth feel very clean!
My daughter loved it and did so amazing! The staff is always so good to her!
His focus and attention to detail were greatly appreciated. Will report on the results in a future evaluation.
Dr. Clave is profession, talented, friendly and fair. His staff is the best. I just had implant done. I had 2 previously and they were a nightmare. Dr. Clave's was perfect first time and almost painless. Longest wait time:5 minutes.
Very good -- in every way. A technically proficient and professional team. Working together to provide great dentistry, ethics, and service which all adds up to be a great contribution to our community.
I needed multiple crowns and a filling. Dr. Clave is so gentle and so good at what he does. No discomfort after the appointment.
Awesome place and staff. Dr. Clave is very knowledgeable and thorough, explains the options for treatment in terms that are understandable.
Pleasant staff and excellent dental care!
Dr. Chris Clave and staff are great. I’ve been going there for several years and wouldn’t go anywhere else for my dental needs. I highly recommend them. I recently had an involved procedure done. Dr. Clave replaced all my old crowns on my upper back teeth. my front teeth had a lot of fillings so he crowned those also, in total 14 teeth. Dr. Clave's assistant Lauri made all the crowns in their lab and they all fit perfectly the first try. My teeth lock great now thanks to Dr. Clave and Lauri.
I recently had major dental work done with Dr. Clave and I am so extremely pleased with the results so far. It was a procedure that took about 6 hours. I had implants placed, teeth extracted and bone grafts done. They used conscious sedation and the whole process was pain free. 'A temporary bridge was also added. It will be a couple more months before it is completely done and everything is permanent but I have experienced no pain during this entire process. It is wonderful and amazing that this kind of dental work can be done right here in our town by a local dentist using all of the most up to date and modern technology. I am very impressed and excited and with the whole thing. I highly recommend Dr. Clave and his staff. His office is so professional and the experience I have had could not be improved. I would definitely do it again here and will continue to be a faithful client. It has been about a month since I got all of my permanent work finished. I wanted to wait a bit to review. I am so very happy with the final product. All of my new implants are in and all of the work is complete. Just like before there was no pain involved, during or after I went home. My teeth look and feel better than they have for years. It is all permanent and doesn't have to be removed so I don't get "caught" by visitors without my teeth. The bite is perfect, it has been years since I could chew and enjoy the meal event. Before this was done my bite didn't match so when I chewed on the wrong side my temporary bridge would come loose and I would have to leave the table to fix it. This is just perfect. I can not recommend Dr. Clave and his staff any higher. I am so happy with these results. Sincerely, Ilene
Dr. Clave, the hygienists and the staff are all so friendly and helpful! I like going to see them, and they greet me by name!
I can’t in for my regular cleaning. As usual Dr. Clave and his team were amazing!
I'd recommend Big Sky Dental to anyone. The hygienist did a great job cleaning my teeth. This is an outstanding Dental practice in Polson, MT. Great staff, service, and dental patient care.
Lorie is a wonderful feral hygienist I appreciate everything she does for me. She’s the greatest thank you Gail Peterson.
Always a good experience! Keep up the good work!
I had to choose a new dentist for my son and I about 4 years ago, not one regret. Has to be one of the best, from the service that is provided to the exceptional staff.
Thanks for the professional, personal service you provide! It allows a person to feel at ease while in your care! Thanks Lori and Chris for your help!
Laurie is the best! Positive interaction with all the staff Thanx
The staff was extremely helpful. I Was able to get an appointment the same day I called. Dr. Clave is very professional and I would recommend him to anybody looking for a dentist in Polson.
Once again, excellence in every aspect of care. I came to Big Sky Dental after a traumatic experience elsewhere and Dr. Clave and his staff have turned things around for me. The care and competence exceed expectations.
Friendly and very smooth.
Absolutely amazing experience. I have severe dental anxiety. The staff, the Dr, the entire everything was amazing. I had to get a filling as well as an extraction done & the entire process was smooth & the Dr & staff talked me through every step. He would proceed without telling me what he was going to do & how he was going to do it. I recommend this dental office to absolutely anyone and everyone. Thank you SO much.
Dr Clave made me feel so comfortable about the things I wanted done and things that I was nervous about. He never made me feel pressured to do anything, will be coming back always
Great professional team! Thanks for your dedication and service to-the patients!
I have a lot of chair time with Dr clave and his staff. They fixed teeth another dentists work, spend days redoing a lot of fillings and crowns. They are incredible. Always welcoming, always busy and they keep that pace very well. I can’t express how amazing their office is. I’m moving a state away but I will be traveling to them for all my dental appointments.
Very comfortable atmosphere, have had a lot of work through the years with this office and they never disappoint, and always honor their work. Couldn’t say enough good about them.
Everyone at the office are kind, knowledgable, and comfortable to be around. Would highly recommend this dentist and dental office!
Staff is friendly and ready to help take care of you! I look forward to my visits.
012423: As usual, from receptionist to hygeinist to dentist, on time, superbly professional but friendly - - engendering a comfortable atmospher - - this is the place! 2021: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. 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!
Very good experience at Big Sky Dental. Dr Clave & staff took the time to evaluate & discuss options. I would recommend this dentistry office.
I love the dentist and coming here I’m always at ease! Great environment and great personnel!
Always on time for appointment. Very protective of themselves and patients for COVID. Friendly and caring!
Always welcomed and very professional.
Great friendly staff and a dentist who keeps me informed and a great job.
My cleaning was well done. Everyone is so professional
Excellent as always!
Can I add a couple of extra stars for "above and beyond"? I was in a lot of pain and they were the only ones of several dentists I called who would fit me in same day. Dr. Clave and his team were wonderfully friendly and took the time to explain anything I didn't understand. I left feeling informed and well taken care of. Highly recommend!
Comfort Friendly Competent Quality patient interaction and skills. They also listen !
My crown came out while on vacation. Dr Clave's receptionist was great and managed to squeeze me in that same day. Everyone there was very kind and friendly. Dr Clave was very thorough. He made sure I was comfortable and not in pain and took great care gluing the crown back in. I would highly recommend him.
As always,a pleasure during my visit. Staff are always Great👍
Just had a very relaxing experience at the dentist, Dr Clave. Would highly recommend him to all.Yes I would🌸💗🌸
Friendly professional staff. I had my regular cleaning with my favorite hygienist and then major work done. Every thing went smoothly and I am good to go. Thanks!
it was the most fun I had all year
So appreciate Dr. Clave listening and being willing to do the small things as well. It made a big difference for me today.
Always professional, informative, and everyone has a smile and a kind word. Love that they make every effort to make you comfortable and truly care about helping you make the best choices for your needs.
Very good experience with all staff,except for going to a soft toothbrush 🪥 JK 😆 lol
