Mayerle + Tydeman Dental

We switched away from this place. I think the dental work is fine, but their staff are very gossipy and in your business. They talk the entire time, telling you all about their personal problems, and trying to find out personal information about you. Really not a good experience.

I don’t like to go to the dentist!, I never have. But my experience at Mayerle and Tydeman was great. I had a lot of work that needed to be done and Dr. Tydeman got right on it. He explained all of the options to me and was supportive of the one I chose. He did an excellent job. I work in Construction and the hours can be pretty crazy, Ian and his team bent over backwards to work me in to fit my busy schedule, that rates pretty high in my book. Thanks guys!

I really love this place to have dental work completed. Everybody is so nice to their patients. I had 4 cleanings and 3 fillings done here and they are very nice. They always have good conversations with you to make you feel more comfortable.

I’m a long-​time friend of Dr. Tydeman’s from high school, which you’d think would give him an automatic advantage in the review department. Not so. I was actually way more nervous to see a dentist that’s a friend, and we each had something on the other: I’ve got total dental phobia and didn’t really want him to witness any childlike freakouts. And I’ve seen him… well, do all the stuff we all do in high school that makes you unsure your friends there will ever be competent professionals down the road.
But Ian was different — always took his studies very seriously, treated others with respect, made good decisions. A diamond in the high school rough, you could say. I think he knew he wanted to be a dentist even then — he’s had a passion for it as long as I can remember. So I decided to ditch my old drag-​me-​to-​my-​annual dentist and take my new toothache to Mayerle.
The office was super clean, modern, convenient [right off the freeway and with a parking lot], and thoughtfully has a kids area in the waiting room with toys and a healthy teeth cartoon playing.
Everyone there was fantastic. I’m rather complicatedly between insurance plans, and Alicia at the front desk went above and beyond to help sort it out. The whole team of technicians and assistants was kind, gentle, and knowledgeable. They all really seem to care about their profession and their patients.
Dr. Tydeman is now the best dentist I’ve ever had. In my initial appointment, he took time to read and inquire about my health history on the new patient forms, and to consider its impact. At operation time, he patiently got me through my squeamishness (well, the Ativan helped too), and had a demeanor you could trust any scared kid with. He talked me through every step of my procedure so I’d know what was coming, and explained the situation with a mirror because I wanted to see. He was appropriately conservative in his treatment, which I appreciated emotionally and financially. I left the office, slept off the drugs with a nap, and by the time I woke up I couldn’t even tell I’d had any work done. No sensitivity at all in the tooth or in the local anesthetic area, and it looks fantastic.
Bottom line:
I’m a dentist hater, and came to Mayerle with an extra-​scrutinous eye. Dr. Tydeman and his team exceeded every expectation, and I highly recommend them — even if you don’t need the babying I did.
