Dr. Kent and her staff at Whole Family Denistry combine to be the best dental practice I have been associated with during my very long tenure in Boulder. Dr. Kent is extremely knowledgeable and skilled, she employs the latest technologies, provides expert care, and her dental assistants and front desk staff are also extremely qualified and top notch. To a person, they are competent, courteous, and caring. As patients, we really cannot ask more than that from a great team of women. I highly recommend this practice to my relatives, friends, and others in need of exceptional dentistry.

I met with this dentist about a month ago and was really impressed during and after my initial visit. They told me that I needed some work done including having some fillings replaced, sealant and a cavity and gave me an invoice for $1200. Because my company offers dental and the timing worked out I went on dental insurance for this procedure. Long story short they don't take insurance (as many don't) so I went to another dentist to get the recomended procedures done. It ends up that I had the fillings done 3 years ago which they didn't mention to me (fillings last atleast 10 years) they are metal fillings which is part of the reason they wanted to replace them as it's an old rumor that metal fillings bleed mercury (false). And the cavity they mentioned I needed was proved to me by the dentist I saw that it was not a cavity. I decided to get a third opinion from a dentist that I had done business with outside of dentistry through my work because I was curious about the metal fillings giving me mercury (This guy had no bias and Dentist #2 could've just done the procedure and made some money). This dentist I spoke with told me the same thing and that he would have not recommended replacing them, they are not a health risk, and he is very confident this dentist is trying to make some coin off of me..... It's really hard to find anyone who does honest work nowadays even in the healthcare industry. They are a business just like anyone else who wants to grow their revenue (even at your expense). I would definitely recommend getting a second opinion if they suggest an expensive procedure. And I wish they had been more transparent about my options regarding my current fillings.

I have been a patient of Dr Ted Kawulok for 25 years and have never had a bad experience. Today, I was treated to an experienced Hygienist whom was new to me. Excellent cleaning and evaluation.DITTO 6 months later and my gums were much healthier because Rhi had suggested I use a water pick.Today Dr. Kawulok and his assistant Leah worked as a well oiled team fixing my two chipped front lower teeth. They feel GREAT!

From the routine to a crazy llama accident, they have been phenomenal! Dr. Kent has put me at ease, not only with her genuine kindness, but with incredible dentistry and commitment. I trust her judgment and value her care so much that I continue to drive three hours to see her. I can’t say thank you enough!

Dr Kawolick is amazing. He is the best dentist I have ever been to. His equipment and expertise is 2nd to noneUnfortunately the dental hygienist is like a Bull in the China shop. She uses her mirror to literally yank your lips away from your teeth so she can clean. Tugs fairly hard to pull my head to the angle she wanted. My lips felt sore and stretched out after she was done. She kept repeating that she was doing what any good hygienist would do after i tried to tell her she was hurting me. Making excuses implying it was my problem or fault that i hadnt come in earlier. It wasn't the cleaning that was the problem, but more how she used her tools to manipulate me.I'm 63 and have taken very good care of my teeth. So I have had many cleanings. This is not acceptable. I will not use her again. Glad they have another Hygienist available.

I saw Dr Kent today to be fitted with a daytime appliance for my TMJ issues. I was impressed, again, with how caring she is. And compared to the TMJ “specialist” I saw previously, I’d rate Dr Kent 5 stars, and wish I could give her 100! The equipment Dr Kent used, and the many measurements taken, provided an appliance that fits perfectly.

Yesterday I had a tooth cleaning from Rhi - the practice's relatively new Dental Hygienist. It's very simple, I cannot say enough about how much I liked and appreciated her! She is gentle, genuinely concerned, knowledgeable, thorough, detailed, and highly personable and likable. I'm 69 years old have had countless experiences with many hygienists during my lifetime. I can honestly say that Rhi was the absolute best! I am so pleased that Whole Family Dentistry has added such a marvelous professional to their already excellent team. Thank you Rhi, and I can easily say, for the first time ever, I'm actually looking forward to seeing my hygienist again in a few months!

If there is a more professional, higher quality dental office in Boulder County, I would be shocked! Both dentists and hygienists take my comfort and concerns seriously and the cleanings, fillings and crowns I’ve required over the years have been painless and lasted longer than similar procedures at other offices I've experienced in my (now) long life. I can say nothing more than thank you, Whole Family Dentistry!
