When I first came to Basin View for my consultation I saw Dr. Prindle. For reference I have had approx. $50,000 worth of work done to my teeth so I could look normal and not have missing teeth. After leaving a practice I was at for 20+ years I was so nervous but Dr. Prindle was so kind and I never once felt rushed or panicked about anything. I have a bit of dental anxiety after a previous surgery and they have great options for sedation which I appreciated. My second visit for a cleaning was with their hygienist Emily and I was BLOWN away. She explained everything she was doing never once left me out of the loop. Made sure I was always comfortable and if I needed to take a moment then we could stop. Typically cleanings always caused me quite a bit of discomfort and this was the first cleaning I’ve had that didn’t hurt afterwards and my teeth haven’t felt cleaner. Thank you Emily! My most recent visit was to just fill a tiny hole on 2 of my teeth and I saw Dr. Nickerson. Knowing I had to be frozen was an extremely anxious experience they did offer me something for it but once the freezing is done I am usually fine. After we got to know each other a bit more and he froze me I was shaking a bit and teary eyed, he immediately tried to switch up the conversation and try to get my mind off of things. I wish I could give more stars because the experience from front to back was a 10/10 for me and I look forward to my next cleaning.

Dr. Jakob Nickerson is incredible at what he does! I was at Basin View Smiles this morning for some dental work and it was a great experience. The entire staff is extremely friendly and very professional. Five stars all the way.

Such a great dental office. Everyone is kind, professional, and super easy to talk to. The whole team made the appointment feel relaxed instead of stressful. Really appreciate how thorough and caring they were. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dentist in Bedford.

I would like to shout out Emily for her amazing service and gentle cleaning techniques. If you are looking for a hygienist who is gentle, very friendly, and thorough with her work- I would recommend booking in!

Dentistry with a view! Laid back environment with amazing staff that create a relaxing, informative experience. They truly care about your individual needs and explain every step, before, during and after. I love it there ❤️

I just wanted to share our experience with Dr. Aljiboury, as I realize there are other reviews praising her and her abilities with children, however, this was not the experience we had at all. If I could give zero stars, I would. After our first visit with her, where she told us to lie to our child about what the procedure involved (which is real good for building trust in an already scary place for most kids), we asked for another dentist. Her communication skills were not great, did not take the time with our kid, did not take the time to explain to my wife what the plan was or anything. The new dentist, Dr. Walsh, was great. Unfortunately, this time around, our young guy needed sedation, which we then had to go back to Dr. Aljiboury. She was 30 minutes late, then took him in without a parent present and after 10-15 minutes called in quits. She chatted with my wife briefly in the hall, but otherwise that was it. No next step, no plan. Well, besides basically saying to wait until infection sets in and go to emerge. Listen, I recognize kids can be uncooperative, and I know my child was, I'm not taking any blame off him, but seeing how she interacted with him + her suggestions made me step back and go, "this is the dentist people say is amazing with kids?". Anyways, I wanted to let other families know, as we we're mislead by the reviews about her. SO, think twice before booking in.

Dr. Aljiboury and her right hand, Colin were amazing! They took the time to set expectations, equipped my little one with all of the knowledge to feel comfortable, and provided encouragement throughout. The main focus was a positive dental experience - and positive it was! These two are a great team and work amazingly with children (and their nervous parents). We will absolutely be returning - Thank you Dr Aljiboury and Colin for transforming the dental experience and establishing a great amount of trust.

The best doctors and providers for whole family dentistry care. Dr. Schaefer knows his stuff, and my entire family trusts him with their oral health. And who doesn't love that view! Just an all around wonderful environment!

Always impressed with the staff at Basin View Family Dentistry. Everyone is wonderful with my kids. And as an adult who is anxious about dental appointments, their friendly and knowledgeable approach puts me at ease. Dr Shin is fantastic. She brings a positive energy to your visit and explains everything so well. Thank you!
