Northwest Natural Dentistry

As a new patient I was absolutely impressed with every person in this practice... from my first phone call to schedule an appointment all the way until I walked out the door on my way home. The front desk check-in, the routine images of my teeth, the exam, the cleaning, even the checkout was helpful in an "above and beyond" way. I felt like I mattered and we were all on the same page to take care of my teeth in the best possible way. Due to a bike accident as a kid, I've spent more time in a dental chair than I would've liked but this was by far the best experience I've ever had... and I'm 64 years old!

My first attempt installing the implant ended in a cracked bone that abutted the maxillary sinus area resulting in an infection that was very painful, unhealthy and hard to get rid of. My health suffered, I felt horrible for 3 months. I work very hard to be heathy, that is why I felt Northwest natural dentistry would be beneficial to me. The next implant was placed after I went through a jaw bone reconstruction. This one however came loose and had to be retorqued. After waiting another 4 months, I went back to discover that this one also has come loose and needed to be retorqued again. Going on now 2 years with no end in sight. I understand that there is a 1%- 3% failure rate, am I in this bracket, or is there something else going on? Why is the implant not binding to the bone? Knowing what I know now, I would have never gone through this expensive, painful, unhealthy and extremely lengthy experience. Still having to look forward to a possible reconstruction process all over again. I feel like just giving up and living with no tooth, but even then I will still have to remove the loose implant and fill in the space with another bone graft just to get back to zero with no tooth. I wish I had never done this in the first place. The staff was very friendly and kind. Five stars on that.

Very friendly staff and doctor. They all made me feel right at ease. The dentist gave me hope for possibly correcting my continual teeth crowding with clear aligner procedure, when I was discouraged by an orthodontist per braces or Invisalign, and other dentist per retainer. I might not be a candidate for the clear aligners procedure, but the dentist gave me hope to try that route per seeing what the clear aligner company says after they get the scans. The office technicians were great—thorough and friendly. So glad my daughter-in-law—a patient of theirs— recommended me to them.

Courteous and friendly staff! They were able to schedule me quickly and even take care of my tooth issue same day as my evaluation. I highly recommend this dental office for their knowledgeability, as well as prompt and professional care.

Very nice workers and skilled. Came in to get a cleaning while pregnant and it really helped my gums. They are super honest. Thankful for a natural place to go to, and feel cared for instead of taken advantage of anywhere else.

Outstanding from scheduling to service! Accommodations were made so that husband and wife could simultaneously get our teeth cleaned. It was a much improved experience from the last time because the energy of the office felt of higher frequency, more efficient and enjoyable (that's saying a lot for a dental office). But most importantly it has been restored to it's original founder, Doctor Harker, who possesses all of the qualities one would want from a dentist without the worry of constantly being upsold for a crown as was the case with the dentist who departed this practice. In the CDA area, one can't do any better than Northwest Natural Dentistry.

My entire experience with NW Natural Dentistry was exceptional. From scheduling, billing, cleaning and my consultation with Dr Chatfield I was given clear information and the team collaborated with me in my treatment plan. I was referred out to another office due to the nature of my treatment. This too was a good sign that the doctor isn’t trying to be all knowing. I very much appreciate and respect his decision. The financials were extremely clear as well. Impressive!

I needed to get my mercury fillings out I had 3. They were so good they were able to do all 3 at once. They were so kind and very helpful. I have had horrible dentists appointments all through my life, this was the best visit I have ever had. I highly recommend them.

The team at Northwest Natural Dentistry in Hayden, ID was wonderful throughout my appointment. Everyone was welcoming, caring, and knowledgable in their field of expertise. I was completely at ease throughout each segment of their comprehensive and conclusive exam. A plan was set up for future appointments. I look forward to having my teeth restored. Nancy F. Felmley

Even though I was shaking like a baby, the Staff & Dentist were amazing...I still dont like it but I highly recommend esp if you have anxiety around dental work. Glad I read reviews to make my choice on where to go. Will return for future work. Bless this team and dentist, all were wonderful. Thank you

They did a great job cleaning my teeth. I had a cavity and they did a great job with that as well. I Barely felt the shot and a day later my tooth feels good! Thank you for the attention to detail and being gentle on my mouth.

Finding Northwest Natural Dentistry was a Godsend and I am so grateful for this practice. They are without a doubt the most knowledgeable, professional, caring and skilled dentists i have ever heard of, encountered or researched I personally had a tooth that needed root canal and wanted to avoid a root canal as much as possible because of the health issues that root canals can cause. I found NW natural after online research of a good dentist that could offer an alternative. These guys were the only ones that came close to offering an alternative, that alternative was Pulpal Regeneration. Turns out i needed TWO root canals, and instead of getting them, they saved BOTH teeth thru pulpal regen. Im so happy. Everyone is so nice and Cares about their job snd patients. everyone who works here is so pure and kind and skilled. Special shoutout to Dr. T, Jennifer, Andres, Wendy and all the others i dont know the names of. Also, since finding them i have brought my entire family here.

Absolutely amazing office. Everyone is so kind and explain everything so well. I love the Christian music and the holistic approach. My poor son had bad dentist care from another office that caused a bad cap and infection. They were able to get him in quick and took such good care of him. Will be switching our whole family over and highly recommend! If you are looking for a dentist that wants to heal and take great care of you, this is your place.
