Mark F Olson, DDS

It’s a little horrible that I’m eve writing this but I have not been to the dentist in over year and half. My previous dentist didn’t do such a good job and I had tooth pain which made me a little gun shy into coming here. The staff is super friendly and made me feel at ease immediately. They’re extremely thorough on their ex-​rays and explain everything that is going on with your mouth. My cleaning took about hour because it was over a year and a half since I’ve been in to see a dentist and had a little plaque buildup. My teeth have never looked so squeaky clean and so beautifully polished. I made my next appointment for other things that need to be tweaked so I can have a beautiful smile again. I definitely would recommend Mark Olson as your DENTIST. Besides it’s always good to have a little eye CANDY at the dentist office.

I have a borderline phobia of dentists due to an experience I had with one who started drilling my teeth without anything to numb me. Long story short, I have gone for years paying for dental insurance but not being able to build the courage to make an appointment.
One day, I saw a commercial for Dr. Olson at the Blue Oaks theater. So I made an appointment. The whole staff was amazing! From the beginning, they made me feel more like a friend and did everything they could to make me comfortable.
I’ve been there for several procedures so far and none of them hurt! WOOO! I even had to have a partial fake too (can’t remember what its called) and you can’t even tell its fake! I would definitely recommend Dr. Olson and his wonderful staff to anyone!

Dr. Olsom
very nice add in the movie theater, very nice office but he doesn’t take all the insurance, also many patient not happy because they change more after the treatment.
Of course he charge he need to paid his add he put in the movie, I almost believed what he say in his add, :-(

My wife Katie and I have found our dentist! I haven’t had any teeth issues until just the last three years. Katie has had a lot of work done through the years. We set up Katie with an appointment with Tawny (Mark’s engaging and very helpful wife who from what I gather co-​runs the office with Him). She was very caring and present. She seems to care a great deal about people and it shows!
When we walked through the door, the office impressed me. That is saying a lot I know, but it’s true. I even said something to my wife about it. It seemed like everything in that entire room was placed there for a reason. It was just a very comforting and yet engaging atmosphere. There are fountains and family pictures and an opened up feel to the whole place that seemed less dentisty and more like a retreat center or something. Very intentional and caring.
Kates went in and got a check up and cleaning. I sat and watched. I was very impressed by Mark’s care. I mean REALLY. In my experience most career professionals like dentists, doctors, etc. try to make the impression that they care deeply and are good at making you feel cared for. The problem is that if they do care (not often), they are still not good at putting themselves into the shoes of their patient/​client. My wife is exceptional at this as a cosmetologist and has always made me so proud of her how she at all times is wondering what she would need or want if she was the one in the chair.
Mark was like this with Katie. He seemed to anticipate what she would need before she could ask! By the time everything was done, I trusted Mark so much, I booked an appointment for myself.
Mark is highly skilled. No question. From his technical work, to how he makes absolutely sure you are comfortable and understand what he is going to do right before he does it, this dentist is, in my opinion, beyond professional. He is a rare one.
My appointment was the same level of quality I expected.
During my filling out my papers, Tawny talked to me. She remembered my dental history from my wife and I’s conversation with her 3 months before! From memory! Was very impressed.
My check up was great (who says this after a dentist visit?) and I left whistling and chipper.
Katie and I both feel like we have been friends with These two for a long time. They do such a good job like that. I have only talked to Mark three times and Tawny 6 times total. This is an incredible dentist. I even geeked out and grabbed a bunch of their cards to pass out!
I’m not one to promote. I am one however to give honor where it is due and this dentist deserves it. I am so glad to see only 5 stars reviews here.
I just hope these two wonderful people are here to stay in the area. Our dentists for life…

My husband said that this guy is magnificent, personable, and very gentle. He had a «deep cleaning» which can usually be uncomfortable and leave you feeling sore for a couple of days. My man said he literally felt nothing before and after… high tech!
My daughter has been back 3 times and she hates the dentist, but said she loves him!
We are merging the family in, but I wanted my husband to be the «test subject» first.

Our family moved to the area eight years ago, and the only thing I was fearful about finding was a cutting edge, top notch Dentist with the state of the art equipment. It took a little while and a couple of dentists later, we found Mark Olson. He and his staff are wonderful, even our teenage kids think so. He and his staff truly do make you feel comfortable, sometimes I feel like I am visiting friends, not going to the dentist. Highly recommend to all.

I’m very dental phobic, and this office not only got me so comfortable I agreed to have the work I desperately needed done, but without sedation. They’re miracle workers. Very modern office/​equipment as well. Can’t recommend enough!

I am recently new to the area and decided it was time for another dentist appointment. I heard about this dentist on Rob, Arney, and Dawn (98.5 FM) so I decided to give them a try. The staff were friendly and Mark was professional and took his time while I was there. The follow-​up appointments were were things went bad. I had to schedule an appointment almost 2 months out due to their volume of customers. My wife had to do the same. We both received confirmatory calls 2 days before from a real person (not a recording). Then, the day before each of our appointments, they called and cancelled due to a «scheduling conflict.»
They have a fairly strict cancellation policy where you are charged if you cancel on them, but from what happened to my wife and me, it seems they cancel on their clients on a regular basis (we had appointments on different days in the same week). It is too hard to get time off of work, and my time is too valuable to wonder if they are going to actually get to see my wife and I for scheduled appointments. I’m going to take our business elsewhere. My insurance only covers one set of x-​rays, per person, in a 5 year period so hopefully they will transfer those to a reliable dentist. If not, it’ll be worth the extra $$$ in my eyes to have someone who knows how to follow through and respect other peoples’ busy lifestyles.

I was having some tooth pain and knew a hefty dental bill would follow. I was prepared to spend a decent amoutn but my jaw dropped when I saw their estimate. $ 1700 dollars to get a crown done. WITH INSURANCE. When I asked for an extraction price i felt like they rude and condensending. Then came back with an estimate for $ 900 to PULL the tooth. I was in tears by then and left. After speaking to family and friends most said I was getting ripped off and boy were they right. I went to a different dentist. Same exact procedures proposed (root canal, build up of tooth, and all procelain crow) their estimate with the same insurance $ 650. I asked just out of curiosity what it would cost to pull the tooth and was shocked with the reply of $ 30!!!Since my insurance covers extrations 90%. I was told at Dr. Olsons my insurance didnt cover extrations at all. I am going the other route and paying the 650. Im disgusted at Dr. Olsons office. Seems that drastic difference in price should be illegal. Save yourself!
(not to mention Dr Olson only spent maybe 45 seconds in the room! guess i wasnt important until they knew how much they could squeeze out of my checkbook.)

Dental work scares me. I’d rather have spiders crawling all over me than sit in a dentist’s chair. And spiders really freak me out.
My regular dentist (who is amazing, but located in Reno) didn’t feel like he could do what I needed done this time without causing me excessive anxiety and discomfort. He suggested I have a dentist that does sedation do the work. My husband and I know Mark from skydiving, and he was also recommended by another jumper.
This was THE least stressful dental experience I’ve ever had — once I got in the door. Mark’s staff is awesome; they greeted me by name and almost made me feel like I was visiting an upscale salon instead of a house of pain and torture… err I mean dental office. And that was on the consultation visit; they were equally awesome when I arrived for the actual procedure.
The sedation experience is quite strange. I remember bits of the procedure — and I remember not being at all fussed about it happening — but nothing after that until I woke up at home almost 12 hours later.
Mark is VERY good at what he does and is obviously VERY passionate about it. Highly, highly, highly recommend his office to anybody, but especially those who really, really, really hate going to the dentist.

I’ve been going to Dr. Olson for a few years now. I have, and will continue to, refer anyone and everyone I know to him. He and his staff are simply wonderful. I’ve never had a great fear of dental work, but it’s certainly not been something I enjoy. I can honestly say I look foward to my appointments with Dr. Olson and his staff. They make it feel like you’re going to visit friends who just happen to also be cleaning your teeth. I’ve never left his office without feeling like I’ve been very well taken care of. I’ll be starting an Invisalign treatment with Dr. Olson in just a few weeks and I am super excited. Can’t say enough great things about this place.

I hate going to the dentist. HATE. I’m one of those people that gets anxiety at the thought of a drill. I watched that Corbin Bernsen dentist movie when I was a kid and never recovered. Everything changed though once I went to Dr. Mark Olson’s office. I still hate having my teeth worked on, but the experience is way better now. Mark is unbelievably nice and super funny. His staff are great as well. Tawni (sp), his office manager is incredibly accomodating to work around my schedule and always calls me to remind me of an upcoming appointment. I have really no idea what prices for dentistry are, but for the quality of work done, the education I receive about my teeth and gums while I’m there, and how amazing his office and equipment are, I feel like it’s well worth what he charges. The dentist’s office isn’t going to be a place I hang out at often, but I’m completely sold on him and his practice.
