Larsen Dental

As a traveling healthcare worker I arrived in GJ with a severe toothache and this office was able to see me immediately. They provided a uniquely warm and caring environment while going over my dental history along with my treatment plan. They were very patient, caring, and understanding with my situation (home dentist 1000 miles away). A few days later I stopped by with no appointment to ask if Dr. Larsen could check on my healing process and they happily accommodated my request. Grand Junction is lucky to have this dental office and staff!

I'm a dental coward, new to GJ, and very happy with Dr. Larsen and his team. Shawna just finished my deep cleaning which was two 2 hour appts, across 2 days. Excellent work, I was even eager for 2nd appt and the wonderful feeling of having it done.
They have good cash pay/no insurance, and referral programs too!

Always a great experience at Larsen Dental. They are always friendly and very helpful. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

During a checkup, Doctor Larson made this statement, "People in Grand Junction have low aspirations. They get a low dollar per hour job and a pickup truck and feel satisfied. I feel it is good for people to try to make more of themselves."
His comment shows another side behind the ultra-professionalism, hyper-niceness, devout continuing education and rejoicing in his following of shiny happy people. Humility that does not build oneself up over others, rather finds the essence within all people is blessed. "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." Matthew 6:22 Holy Bible. If you have experienced dentists with quirky traits, your fears are justified at Larsen Dental.
If you are a believer in him and continue to attend his dental ministry, ask him questions from time to time to see if you can detect this condescension. He is intelligent and spiritually alert so you need to be prudent in selecting questions and interpreting the results. Then there is also the matter described below. Notice in his reply below the ultra-professionalism and hyper-niceness. Get real my friend. Get real.

The Larsen Dental practice has a significant issue: dentist David Larsen is overly aggressive about examining previous fillings - he seems to need to know what is going on underneath them where the xrays don't reach and he gets insistent about needing to replace.
Aside from this matter the office shows some efficiency, they do an okay job with cleanings, fillings and answering questions and on good days David seems nice. However, when one tries to address this issue with him, he denies it and gets defensive.

I would highly recommend Larsen Dental! All the staff is very friendly and make you feel like family. Dr. Larsen is compassionate, honest, and understands the wants/needs of patients and doesn't try to "sell" you on anything you don't need. Shawna, the hygienist is very experienced and truly cares about her patients. She will always greet you with a warm smile and leave you feeling confident about your dental health. I love getting my teeth cleaned!

I am a New Patient that had a semi- urgent issue. I called Dr. Larsen's office and had an appointment the next day. It was determined that I needed a procedure which was scheduled for the next week. I had that procedure done today and the care and treatment I received was remarkable! The staff are funny, kind, and professional. Dr. Larsen is very intent on providing sincere, caring and straight forward care. My previous Dentist retired and I feel blessed to have found this practice.

I am a new patient and when inquiring about my insurance coverage, the office manager went above and beyond to investigate my service benefits. On the day of my appointment the receptionist was delightful and gave me a concise explanation of each of the 8 forms that needed signing - first time an office was ever so patient and helpful about those legal forms.
The hygienist was excellent; knowledgable and gentle. She spent extra time with me since I had significant build up and did not rush or make me feel guilty. Dr. Larson was very personable. We discussed my treatment in detail and he was happy to answer all of my questions.
I did not think I would find a Dentist office I like more than my old dentist in Los Angeles, but I have.
A very happy patient.

Dr. Larsen was extremely helpful for a dental emergency on a holiday weekend! This for a patient that isn't even his client. I am sincerely impressed with his caring assistance and understanding.

The practice is extremely clean, modern and professional.

Thank you very much Dr. Larsen - I highly recommend your services & practice.

Dr. Larsen and the entire team are amazing. They provided same Day Care with excellent service! I always feel completely informed about my care options and am able to make autonomous decisions. Thank you so much for all that you do! You are the best!!

I have been going to Larsen Dental since I first moved to Grand Junction and I refuse to go anywhere else. Dr. Larsen , his hygienist’s, and front desk staff are always so so great! They make you feel good about going to the dentist. Plus they do an amazing job! I imagine all of their hygienists are very good. But Shawna has the most amazing bedside manner and has always taken such good care of my teeth. She is and always will be my go-to. If you are looking for a dentist on the western slope, look no further and make your appointment with them!
