Hew’s Story: Looking Beyond the Symptoms

What started as a routine dental visit became a conversation about sleep, breathing and symptoms Hew hadn’t realized could be connected. After learning he had mild sleep apnea, Hew began myofunctional therapy with Dr. Alli James.

Hear how simple exercises became part of his routine and the improvements he has noticed in his sleep, clenching, headaches and jaw tension.

Real Results. Real Smiles. Real Stories.

We are proud of the many testimonials our patients have taken the time to write about their experiences at Bend Dental Group. Please take a moment to read what others have to say about us.

“This was my first experience with Bend Dental Group and it was the best cleaning I’ve ever had. Kim was super informative and very thorough. I’m very motivated to take better care of my teeth after the services she performed on my behalf. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them look so clean and polished.”  ~ Peter H.

In Camille’s Words: Feeling More Relaxed

Camille came to Bend Dental Group carrying tension and tightness in her neck, shoulders, and jaw. After beginning myofunctional therapy with Dr. James, she started to notice that even the smallest exercises were making a difference in how she felt. Over the next couple of months, some of that tension began to release, leaving her with a sense of relaxation she found difficult to put into words. Her reaction is simple and genuine: she is loving the experience. Camille’s story offers an honest glimpse into how meaningful it can feel when your body begins to let go of discomfort you have been carrying.

My visit was quite pleasant. Dr. Stahrr made me feel very comfortable when talking about my future visits and educated me on everything I wanted to know about wisdom teeth surgery. The receptionists are also lovely. 10/10

Broken teeth are such a nuisance! But, thank the "stars" above that we have Dr. Stahrr and her WONDERFUL staff at Bend Dental Group. I broke a tooth Saturday last and they were able to squeeze me today, Monday to begin process of repairing that pesky tooth. I and my wife are very happy and satisfied clients of Bend Dental for more than 11 years. There is, in our estimation, no finer dental practice in Centrsl Oregon!

It's pretty cool that I can say I've had several pleasant experiences at the dentist office! Dr. Jones replaced a crown today. He was meticulous in his work to remove the old, prepare the tooth for the new and make sure it fit just right. The assistant was also very helpful and nice. I want to comment on Abby. She is working with me on an oral health treatment plan. She is very knowledgeable, thoughtful and really wants the best outcome for me. I appreciate her a lot. I enjoy communicating with the ladies at the front desk. Other staff who have worked with me in the past were all positive experiences. The pet photos are great!

From the moment you walk through the door you are welcomed with warmth and care. You are seen and valued and not simply a patient. Every member of the team looks you in the eyes, communicates clearly and truly wants and works for the best outcomes for your treatment plan.

I always have a wonderful experience at BDG! From the initial phone call with the friendly and understanding administrative staff to scheduling appointments and checking out after my visit, everyone makes me feel welcome and well cared for. My hygienist is personable, knowledgeable, and highly skilled at using the latest dental cleaning technology. Dr. Sumra Zaidi Elcik has the most calming demeanor, genuinely cares about her patients, and clearly has a passion for both the art and science of dentistry. I highly recommend BDG to anyone looking for exceptional dental care!
