There are many choices on the Palouse for your dental needs, but there isn’t many dentists that will care for you like Dr. Hansen and his staff. Dr. Hansen goes above and beyond with his sincere and excellent care. To be honest, I don’t love the dentist- but Dr. Hansen and his staff make it the best it can be. Another thing- many area dentists look for a reason to do thousands of dollars of work in your mouth- upon intake Dr. Hansen takes the time to get to know you and what level of dental care you are comfortable with- if you want every single thing fixed…you got it. If you’re like me and don’t want to fix it until it needs fixing…you got it! Thank you Dr. Hansen and staff!

Truly the best experience I have had at a dentist! Dr Hansen spent so much time with me talking and educating me on what was going on. 10/10 recommend!

I hate dentists I always sit in my car thinking about if I even want to go because of the anxiety I get from dental work. My first time going into Dr clay Hansen’s office I was shaking when opening the front door but once I got in and talked to the staff I felt like I was at my grandpa’s old practice and my anxiety diminished little by little. By the time my appointment was done it made my view on the dentist change. Now I can go in there with little to no anxiety knowing that I’m taken care of. Thank you.

I love going here, they really take care of you and make sure you are comfortable. I absolutely love going to the dentist now! My son (age 9 now) has been going here since he was 5, he’s never been afraid or worried about having them look and clean his teeth. With their new renovations every room has their own water line and suction; and the new chairs are so comfortable I almost fell asleep last time while they were cleaning. The staff is so nice and welcoming, I have always felt taken care of here.

Thank you for fitting me in for a tooth repair. I am one of your patients who probably has a big TLC on her file, and your gentleness and kindness is much appreciated – not just with Dr. Hansen, but with his entire staff.

I appreciate that the secretary got me in at 2:20pm. I arrived on time, but I forgot to bring my night guard with me! So the dental assistant let me go back home and retrieve it since I live close by. She was still nice when I came back quickly. She used the grinding tool 4 times at my request to smooth out the surface of the night guard, and she answered my questions also. I really appreciate the care I received. Thank you!

Dr. Hansen went far above and beyond my expectations. He agreed to see me on an emergency basis when his office was closed for vacation to do an extraction for an incredibly painful toothache. The work done was first rate. When the pain returned after the deadening wore off, he had me come to the office int he evening to give me another dose. He followed up with me by text and phone to make sure I was okay the next day. He was kind and considerate throughout.

Once again, Dr Hansen accommodated a dental emergency for me and saved the day. Im not good at reviews, but I had to do something this time. Ive been seeing Clay Hansen for several years now and Ive come to feel very grateful for the way that he and his staff run their practice. Thanks to all of you at Palouse View Dental in Moscow Id.

Based on research I did online, I selected Dr Hansen to see for a dental checkup. It was the right decision. From my first encounter with Marnie at the front desk to my dental exam by Dr Hansen, the staff was kind, knowledgeable and professional. Keisha (sp?) did a great job cleaning my teeth, explaining everything as she went. Dr Hansen was a personable, thoughtful gentleman who listened to my concerns and came up with a plan to address those. I highly recommend Dr Hansen for dental needs!

The nurse I had was really cool, or Dentist assistant and I was taken care of pretty well. Hard to get to since I’m not from Moscow but I appreciate the membership club 🙂

Read More About UsWoman: I’ve always been conscious of my teeth…my front teeth, and I’ve people who commented on them at different places. Like, if you’re in a restaurant that has different kind of lighting, they would kind of fluoresce. And so when we decided to do the implants and when we decided to do the veneers, I really wanted something that looked natural, and that for my job, I have to spend time out in eating situations with people. It’s so important that they look natural wherever I’m at, whatever kind of lighting, and that’s what I feel this does. It feels very natural. I think that they look appropriate, and I think people notice my smile, they don’t notice my teeth.
Man 1: I have had work done from other dentists that they’ve been able to go in and take a look at and be able to make sure that it’s up to their standards. When I was away for an extended period of time, you know, I had a filling done by another dentist, and there was always just, like, one spot that was, like, really rough. And being able to come in and say, hey, you know, someone else did this. I know it’s not, like, your responsibility or anything, but can you look at that? Can you help me with that? And they were able to go in and, like, help, like, refine it a little bit and make it nice and smooth.
Man 2: I think the quality of care here is top-notch. I’m thinking about friends that I have that are also people that I’ve referred here and people who…and the person who referred me here. I think when I have somebody in my life that comes here and totally separate from this office, comes back and comments about how happy they are. I have nothing to do with how this office operates, but I made that referral now years ago, and still, it’s a part of our exchange outside of this office that we both have this thing in common. And it’s because they care here.
Man 3: I think Dr. Hansen’s great. He’s genuinely concerned about my teeth and me, and I think he does excellent work. I had the top of…all my top teeth capped, and it’s a pretty sensitive, critical procedure, and I think he did a great job. I ended up capping them all because they match each other better when they’re all done at one time. I’m smiling more. I like to smile more, and people smile back, and it’s a good feeling.
Common Questions From Our Patients
It’s easier to answer this question when you come in for a consultation. No two patients are alike! Luckily, you’ll discover implant options for patients missing one tooth or all of their teeth. For implants, you’ll need a strong enough jaw to support them. However, you can get procedures to restore your jaw, if needed. Schedule a consultation today find out if you are a good candidate for implants.
After your procedure, we’ll give you aftercare instructions that protect your implants. You’ll want to follow our instructions in order to encourage healing. Once your mouth has fully healed, you’ll need to maintain good oral care habits, just like you would for regular teeth. That means brushing twice a day and flossing at least once. You’ll also want to visit us regularly for checkups, so we can monitor the condition of your implants.
Absolutely! We invite you to schedule appointments for your loved ones. Although we specialize in dental implants, we welcome patients in all stages of life. We offer general dental care, cosmetic services, restorative care, and more for your family’s needs. If any damage happens to their smile, you have an expert team on hand that can help!
