"By far this has been my best experience at a dentist office in YEARS. From the front desk, to the hygienist, to the dentist herself I couldn't have been more impressed. EVERYONE was courteous, professional, and over the top helpful. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of a new dentist! My wife and daughter have both also started going here and they loved everything about this office!! I'm not easy to please when it comes to doctors and dentists and I couldn't be any more pleased with Needville Family Dentistry....got a crown done today and it was smooth and painless!! Come see Needville Family Dentistry, you'll be glad you did."
- Tony
"I just wanted to share that my experience at Needville Family Dentistry was exceptional! In all of my years I have been petrified of any dental office. Dr. Katie Davis and the entire team took great care to make my experience as pain free and comfortable as possible. I had to have two difficult fillings completed. Dr. Davis was excellent in explaining every procedure and step in the process, appeasing the engineer in me! I now have a new dentist- I live in Sugar Land but my drive to Needville is worth every minute of my time. I would recommend Needville Family Dentistry and Dr. Katie Davis to anyone looking for a great dentist/practice. The entire staff are great."
- Kevin
"Dr. Davis does a great job at making sure you're comfortable, while taking her time to give you the best treatment possible. Paula and her sister, are great getting everything ready and setting up for procedures so everything flows smoothly. I use to dread going to the dentist, but they really go out of their way to make you comfortable. There is a comfy chair, movies, and even a weighted blanket! Kelly in the front office greets you with a big smile and great attitude every time. Thank you for the great customer service and treatments that I have received!"
- Matt
"Love Needville Family Dentistry.. I've been using them for years and my son and husband switched to them not too long ago and love them as well. They are all very friendly and professional. From the time you walk in the door to the time you leave you feel at home. My son just had some dental work done, he was a little anxious, they talked him through everything and he did great! Everyone there is wonderful and we will be using them for a very long time."
- Kellie
"Very friendly and pleasant front desk staff. Jessica was lovely she was asked me through each step of the appointment while explaining technicalities. Dr. Davis was wonderful, also explaining insights. Everyone was professional and positive. I throughly enjoyed the 3D model scanned of my teeth and gums; showing full rotation of each roof teeth independently and together. Pretty neat and show cases a more in depth view for understanding current and potential future issues."
- Paisley
"I want to thank Dr. Kunkle (and her assistant, I cannot remember her name) and her team for my most recent treatment. I broke a tooth and when I called in, they got me in the very next day at noon and 2½ hours later I was done and out of there. They have the ability to build a new crown on site, so you don't have to come back and get the permanent crown 2 weeks later and the new crown fit the first time! No adjustment was needed. Also, the ONLY discomfort I felt was the platform they have to use to catch mucous and any debris. I never felt the shot nor any grinding work. I don't like going to the dentist either, but that was by far the best experience I have ever had. Great job!!"
- Mark
"Exceptional office, all the staff is incredibly helpful and kind! I had to make a last minute appointment for some tooth pain and they were able to get me in same day! The exam was thorough and Dr. Kunkel took the time to go over all my options with me and we came up with a treatment plan that made the most sense for me."
- Amanda
"Dr. Kunkel and her staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were great with my kids ages 5-9! No tears or fuss! Dr. Kunkel did a great job informing us of all our care options and explaining everything in detail. I highly recommend this office!"
