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!

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.
Always a great experience.
Laurie is the best! Positive interaction with all the staff Thanx
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!

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!
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
I’m always amazed at Dr Clave and the staffs pursuit of excellence, both in patient care and advanced technologies. When you’re having work done you know that you are being taken care of.
Dr. Clave and his staff are always accommodating, polite, and through and their dental work is top notch!
