It's been a while since I've been back (with the new job and all providing me with excuses), and there's quite a bit to be done so I'm a bit intimidated, and I wonder to myself if the nice little veneer that providers and their stShow moreaff wear to woo their clients in would've worn off by now - especially because I was late. So I walk in the door, head slightly down to deflect any arrows released in my direction, but when I chanced a look, there's the staff, Rob, Selena, and others right there in front, Vinh with a smile, and Dr. Prat seated and looking up at me as if I were a close friend, all of them with the warmest, most genuine "welcome back" look I've ever seen. My anxiety immediately drained away. I felt so at home. At the dentist. With no Ativan in my bloodstream. Just genuine human kindness when I needed it most. Thank you Dental Touch. All of you. - David Sovereign
Here is another of my 5 star reviews for Dr. Prat at The Dental Touch. I just had to write another after our last visit. I made back to back appointments for my wife and I and mine was first. Dr. Prat was wonderful as usual and thShow moreen when I finished I went in to see if my wife wanted me to stay with her during her appointment. She has had dental phobia since she was a child and usually needs my support to feel comfortable. She not only said I didn't need to stay, but after the appointment told me that she and Dr. Prat had been joking and laughing together! Well, you just can't appreciate how amazing this is! My wife and I have been together 23 years and this is the first time she has LAUGHED at the dentist's office! Thank you Dr. Prat for not only being a fabulous dentist, but also for being a kind, caring, respectful human!

Reviews
Accommodating, actively listening and went above and beyond in the time he spent addressing my treatment planning.
I had Dr. Marjan but she wasn't an option to choose when selecting providers. However, she is fantastic! She is so friendly and was very helpful on my last visit.
Friendly and very caring…job well done
Dr. Prat is very gentle
Dr. Pratt genuinely cares about the patient comfort and positive experience. I had deep cleaning done yesterday. No pain. Magical. Exceptional professionalism. Clear, honest and friendly communication. Highly recommended.
Friendly dentist and staff

Dr.Dennis Prat is good
Always willing to above and beyond- I can’t say that all medical professionals have that philosophy anymore and it’s been so wonderful going to this office. I feel like they really care.
Always a great dental experience. I have been a patient of Dr. Pratt’s for 16 years and counting.
Know what he is doing
Always so helpful and comforting
Dr Marjan is a sincere informative professional…covers all bases maps out a specific plan of direction in treating my teeth both health wise and financially…
Outstanding service over many years.
The Dental touch staff are professional and helpful. I always have a good experience. I love the fact that Dr Praite is completely honest about my oral care. The office is always clean with a fresh sent and a friendly atmosphere!
Waited an hour past my appointment time and the Dr was not especially considerate of my pain :(
Most professional service with a dentist who has the coolest personality you will ever find out here.
Dr Pratt is very nice. He is patient and kind. He is also an excellent dentist. I highly recommend him. I’ve been a patient of his for over 6 years now.
Accidentally clicked “no” on recommending the practice earlier. Felt the staff were friendly and helpful. Ran on time. Dr. Romero was kind, personable and thorough. I did not feel rushed at all with him.
Took his time explaining everything about my xrays and gum health, much appreciated
Excellent
Super friendly office. Got me in next day even as a new patient. Explained everything. Listened and responded compassionately about my anxiety. Dr. Prat was patient and kind and gentle. The dental assistant let me squeeze her hand. And the end result was a quick recovery and well-done temporary crown. I'm not anxious about returning in 2 weeks for the permanent crown, as I trust they will take good care of me again. I highly recommend this practice!
Thorough
Great, quick, competent
Great accommodations were made for my disabilities. I enjoyed having a dentist clean my teeth, rather than the usual tech. This was my first visit and I actually got some time with a dentist.
Fine
Great
Best dentist I’ve ever had.. Highly recommended
Pleasant thorough and as expected.
