Best hygienist in polson.
Chris is the best hygienist!!!!!! Thanks for being so patient with me 😊😊
They are very professional. They are always exceptional.
This review is based on my experience on the 1st visit and correlates with what I heard from friends prior to and which led me to Dr. Clave’s practice. The staff were all professional and very observant of Covid protection measures. The cleaning was excellent and very thorough… she was not satisfied until repeated inspection proved the process complete. Subsequently Dr. Clave performed a detailed inspection of my mouth and the xrays that were taken. We sat down to discuss how to proceed as there is a lot of work to perform to take care of my dental issues. He collaborates with orthodontists and oral surgeons for specialized issues. We discussed several options as the resolution to my issues is very expensive due to implants and crowns. His focus was on what basic things need to be done to protect the integrity of my teeth and those that are more cosmetic. To sum up… 1st visit was very positive! 2nd, 3rd, 4th … visits have confirmed my first impressions and now he’s helping with my sleep Apnea appliance. Yes, I’ve helped Chris to make his mortgage payments through my extensive dental work but I got something significant and long lasting for my investment. consistently goes beyond working with me on Sleep Apnea device. Another good experience… I still whole heartedly recommend Dr. Clave for the reasons previously mentioned
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.
Excellent as always!
Thanks Lori you are the best!
Everyone here was kind, attentive, and very competent. I was impressed by the level of care I received on my first visit and feel confident I will be given the best care possible.
I was absolutely thrilled with my appointment at Big Sky Dental. Dr. Chris Clave took an exceptional amount of time to discuss my unique concerns and treatment options, and he went even further by patiently answering all of my questions until I felt completely confident about the timeline and process ahead. The support staff were equally impressive—warm, welcoming, and professional—creating an environment where I felt comfortable expressing my worries and concerns. I highly recommend Big Sky Dental, Dr. Clave, and his outstanding team!

Comfort Friendly Competent Quality patient interaction and skills. They also listen !
Dr. Clave and his awesome staff do an excellent job! They treat you like family and do their best to make you comfortable. They do one-day crown services and I’m extremely happy with the way my crown fits and looks. I highly recommend Big Sky Dental!
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 had my teeth cleaned on Tuesday by Lori my hygienist. As usual see did a great job. As always I recommend Big Sky Dental Clinic.
Great professional team! Thanks for your dedication and service to-the patients!

I recently moved to Polson and my cousins suggested I see Dr Clave for my dental needs. Had my first cleaning and it was thorough. Dental hygienist was excellent. Dr Clave came in at the end of the cleaning, again checked for any issues with gums and teeth. He too was thorough. They have great technology to assist in identifying any issues. Really liked the entire experience. First visit was 2 hours. GREAT!
The staff is warm and friendly and they accommodate extra work (like coming for a filling and needing a crown)!

I needed multiple crowns and a filling. Dr. Clave is so gentle and so good at what he does. No discomfort after the appointment.
Pleasant staff and excellent dental care!
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!
Always a good experience! Keep up the good work!
I have always had a good experience at Big Sky Dental even though I am one of the many that find going to the dentist a bit stressful. Dr. Clave and his staff and very welcoming and always explain in detail what to expect which I truly appreciate. I would definitely recommend this dentist to any one like me who needs a bit more patience and understanding while in the dental chair. Thank you to you and your wonderful staff!
Dr. Clave and team did a fantastic job replacing a crown that was giving me challenges based on fit and shape. My original dentist replaced it once and I still continued to have the same challenges. I no longer have issues with food getting caught or impacted potentially causing further issues. I’m very grateful and amazed at how much it was impacting my ability to eat. I highly recommend Big Sky Dental for their skills, kindness and professionalism.
Great dentist office! Extremely nice staff! Super affordable and they help in any way possible! Would highly recommend for anyone!
The dental team worked with diligence and care to complete a difficult and lengthy procedure. They were very attentive to any pain and discomfort. They worked quickly and efficiently to finish in a timely manner. Am very willing to return and recommend them for dental issues. They are both competent and congenial. You will walk away satisfied!
I have had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist since I was a child. I recently moved and was very worried about finding a new dentist, but I didn’t need to worry! Everyone at Big Sky Dental Clinic in Polson was amazing! So kind and patient. I would recommend them to anyone!
I love the quality and high level of care I receive from Big Sky Dental. Dr. Clave and his staff are the best! I live in Rollins and work in Kalispell, so the drive is especially far and can be very treacherous in the winter. The quality visits make it all worth it. 😊 …
Traveling & the Big Sky team fit me in! Moreover they are pro’s with expert level skills & accommodating professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend them & did so by bringing their business cards back to my resort to refer future travelers in need.
Great first time visitor experience. Beautiful extremely well equipped facility and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Personal attention from Dr. Clave . Received professional assessment, immediate attention to pressing needs and initiation of a future program of care. Just what I was looking for. JTT
