Friendly professional staff. Nice open office. Very welcoming. Parking can sometimes be crowded, but I've always found a spot.
Just started my journey with them for Invisalign. Ha, thanks high school me who didn't wear my retainers. They had really cool tech/pics of my teeth before and computer generated afters. Very excited!

Since we were all there at the same time, (the office put in the extra effort to accommodate my request to schedule appointments for us all in on the same day which made it so much more convenient for us!) we were seen by a few different hygienists and each one was great. Dr. Bunker himself is awesome. He is so friendly and instantly puts you at ease, explaining things clearly in a way that is easy to understand without being condescending, dosen't shame you if it's been too long since you have seen the dentist and need some work done (which we did) and he is very gentle (but still quick!) when working in your mouth. I was especially impressed with how well he did with our two youngest kids (ages 6 and 9). They really struggle with anxiety at medical appointments and I was worried they would freak out, but amazingly they sat quietly and didn't have any issues at all! I'm sure that was due to having Dr. Bunker being so kind and patient with them and putting them at ease. This office is great for all ages, I'm glad that we have found a dentist we can trust and have a good experience with! read less

I personally have not been to a dentist in close to 10 years prior to my appointment here at Dr. Bunkers office… Dr. Bunker has amazing bed side manor, he listened to my concerns, he was realistic with expectations and he seems to genuinely want what’s best for me. Ivy was by far the best dental hygienist I have ever had clean my teeth and she made it nothing but a pleasant experience and did not make me feel judged about the state my teeth were in, instead she made a goal for us and plans to follow through with that goal with me. All the office staff were incredibly pleasant and positive. Small wait before being called back but for the level of care… absolutely worth it! Best dental experience I’ve ever experienced by far! read less

Less face it, no one likes going to the dentist but you can count on the fact that atCarmel mountain dentistry you will be served by extremely qualified and friendly staff along with the receptionists. The best part about Dr Bunker is that there is none or very little pain when given injections to “numb you up”. Yesterday I went in for a teeth cleaning but ended up with Dr Bunker doing prep for two crowns because he knew I needed them and so he queened me in. I was told that I probably need to rinse with warm salt water for possible discomfort, but after the annethesia wore off, I felt perfectly fine no pain whatsoever read less

As always, we both had a phenomenal experience with our teeth cleaning thanks to Ivy! She is detail oriented and does a fabulous job! We would never go anywhere else! Dr Bunker is by far the best; caring, careful, professional and makes going to the dentist pure pleasure!
