Tentmakers Dentistry

My first time at this dental office but it won’t be my last. The front desk staff was very friendly and professional. The hygienist Terry was VERY thorough and attentive. Dr. Yamane was very nice and pleasant. It was a wonderful experience AND they do fluoride treatments!

I just went back for a 6 month cleaning. I had Terri again. She was very good, just like my first visit 6 months ago.

SO I know that this is my 3^rd review for Dr. Yamane but I just can’t say enough about him. I went in yesterday for my root canal. Now I am a big CHICKEN when it comes to Dentists but Dr. Yamane was very kind and helped me relax. I barley felt the needles and there was barley any pain that night. THe procedure its self was very easy and he was very gentle Please if you need a good Dentist go to Dr. Yamane. Oh and his staff is EXCELLENT, very kind and very patient. Thank you everyone at Dr. Yamane’s you guys ROCK !!!

Wow. That wasn’t the horrible experience that I used to have when I was a child, and it took a short time, about an hour to replace 4 very old fillings, that was leaking. THANKS, Dr. Michael Yamane, that FAGD is a great asset, such expertise! and Griselda-you’re a good team. Love the state of art equipment, the massage chair. After the initial needle it was virtually painless. Really a good experience for someone who really is phobic about going to the dentist office.

My husband and I love Dr. Yamane! We are willing to drive a long way to visit his office. Dr. Yamane and his staff make us feel welcome and comfortable. Dr. Yamane has a gentle touch and we never feel any discomfort. He is caring and kind, and calls his patients to make sure that we are feeling fine after our procedures. We have recommended Dr. Yamane to family and friends.

I don’t normally post reviews however this office and team deserve it. Dr Yamane and staff truly are awesome As much as I hate going to the dentist they are great at making it very comfortable thank you Dr.

Dr Yamane is an excellent dentist! As I am getting a bit older (and longer in the tooth) I am having issues with fillings and such. Dr Yamane has the lastest in equipment (in-​chair x-​rays going right to the computer, lasers, UV hardeners) and is very knowledgable. He tries hard, too — giving you sunglasses so the light doesn’t bother you eyes, putting things on the ceiling so you have something to look at, soft music, and clean rooms. He isn’t always pushing to complete everything all the time (face it, dentistry can get expensive) and is willing to work on my schedule.
I can’t recommend him any more highly!

I hadn’t been to see Dr Yamane in 8 years, due to my working location, but walking back in I remembered just how sweet and kind he is. He also remembered me.
I do not do well sitting in ‘the chair’ and the work that I had done, he was gentle and quick. I am going back for more work!
Also, very little pain! Only 3 Motrins total required
Thank you Doctor!

I was looking for a dentist within my area, it was kind of an emergency since my Wisdom Tooth was bothering me (a whole lot). I came on Unilocal to check out some review’s and came across Dr. Yamane @ Tentmakers Dentistry. All the reviews said he was gentle, caring and not out to get your money. I called a few places got a few estimates since I was gonna pay out of pocket (no insurance). By far Dr. Yamane’s office came in 1^st place when it came down to answering questions over the phone and even the estimate over the phone was resonable compared to the few other office’s I called. I decided on Dr. Yamane’s office, they were able to fit me in the same day (Tuesday is there late day). I AM SO GLAD I DECIDED TO GO TO DR. YAMANE. He is everything and more the reviews make him out to be, very kind man, makes you feel at ease and comfortable told me exactly what he was doing as he was doing it. He was genuinely concerned about me feeling any pain. I’ve never had a Wisdom Tooth extracted before but I thought it would be painful… I felt ZERO pain even after the numbness went away, grant you that I do have pain killers but still… I havent felt any pain, I even had to ask him if the tooth was out already? LOL! He smiled and said, I guess if your asking its cause you didnt feel it… and then he showed me the bloody tooth, IT WAS OUT ALRIGHT! : —) I could rave more about him but I dont want to get carried away, it was only my first experiance in that office, I’ll be going back next week and then again in a few weeks… (if I’m going back it only means he did an awesome job and prices were totally reasonable). His office is small not fancy, its cute, cozy and clean.
And just to put the cherry on top of the sundae… Dr. Yamane called me this morning, just to ask how I was doing and if I was feeling any pain : — D I HAVE FOUND MY NEW DENTIST! I know it was only my first visit yesterday but I’m soooooo pleased with my experiance that I had to share it with you ( Unilocalers) and all my friends and family!

I went in today, first visit ever and it was incredibly pleasant. The staff was very kind and the vibe was comfortable. Dark hard wood floors, nice light green walls, soothing modern music, instead of the typical corporate vibe, white walls, etc.
Cozy environment, appointment was on time and everyone welcomed me with a smile. Plenty of Parking.
State of the art technology and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Yamane is great, very understanding and so far has a great touch. I may have found my new dentist.
I have another appointment on the 25^th of January and am looking forward to it.
***I am a musician/​composer for a living WITHOUT dental insurance and was happy to find out that this place does great work and doesn’t charge an arm and a leg.

Agree with the others — Dr. Yamane has been my dentist for 8 – 10 years now (can’t remember exactly). He really cares about each of his patients and puts them before dollars. The staff is friendly, he does a very thorough job, and is honest. He never tries to sell you extra stuff you don’t need unlike a lot of dentists out there. The equipment is modern, too. This is a place you can trust.
Update on 3÷9÷12: by the way, there is a filtered review from 2÷8÷12 by someone named Isa. Perhaps Unilocal thinks this is a ringer but I know for a fact it is a true review so if you are trying to decide about Dr. Yamane, please read that one as well. The main thing is, he is a person with integrity. He does the right thing, not what the insurance or dollars dictates.

Awesome dentist. Dr Yamane. Just has root canal and no pain and put on the christian station for me :)

He’s the best. My family and I have been seeing him for over 20 years. He’s extremely concerned about making your visit as comfortable as possible, and as painless as he can too. The office is low-​key, relaxed. He’s updated his equipment so that now all the Xrays are computerized, low radiation with instant images on the computer screen. And I can’t say enough about the quality of his work, too (including follow-​up phone calls). He can really work wonders and stands behind it. Very friendly and concerned staff too. No, he won’t do «orthopedic» work (feet) but yes he does Orthodontia!

I been looking a Dentist for a very long time and I found the ONE!
This place is very relaxing and the people there are very nice too! Tentmakers Dentistry is a Christian based joint. Dr. Yamane is Christian and the coolest thing about him beside his gentle hands is that before he goes in for the kill he does a little prayer, which I think is awesome!
They do all kinds if dentistry work from general to cosmetic, but I’m not sure about orthopedic.
