Reviews of Big Sky Dental Clinic: Chris Clave DMD (Dentist)

Celeste Lindsay

They were able to fit me in right away. Every person at the office from the desk to the dentist were exceedingly friendly and helpful. I love that they can crowns in house.

Julie Sisler

I love Big Sky Dental. Our family has been under their care for 10 years. All the gals are super fun and professional. Dr. Willis and now Dr. Clave have always taken good care of us. The whole team does a great job of educating, laying out options, and never pressing unnecessary procedures. Makes going to the dentist not so bad.

Matthew Sisler

My son had a dental emergency thanks to a basketball collision. Dr. Clave and his staff made a point to get him in for the first appointment of the day to address the damage. He even reached out to my son’s orthodontist to be sure what he did was in alignment (haha) with his orthodontic plan. Thanks Big Sky Dental!

Moriah LeBrun

Dr. Clave is meticuouls and I am so grateful! I worked with Dr. Clave and his staff to get a dental implant; they teamed with my periodontist and orthodontist, made sure everyone was on the same page for my treatment plan, did frequent follow-ups, and ultimately gave me teeth to be proud of.

Julie Hille

The staff is very friendly! My experience was painless. It was a good visit!

Madison Maldonado

Always a great experience! Both my kids enjoy going here! Thank you!

Kate Sheridan

Excellent care from all staff members - the cleaning was thorough yet gentle, each procedure was explained, and Dr.Clave was kind and knowledgeable in discussing my concerns. I'm glad I chose to establish my dental care at this practice.

Becky Hoxie

Chris and his staff made my appointment a breeze! I’m VERY pleased with my crown; this quality is 100 times better than my 20 year old crown. I’ll go no where else!

Lacey Jo Carey-Pugh

Dr. Clave has exceptional bedside manner! I was entirely expecting this visit to be like every other where the dentist is just there to get their check. Let me tell you...this guy is sooooooo different! He made me feel so comfortable in a very uncomfortable state. And his staff is amazing to boot! Thank you Dr. Clave for getting me through the tough stuff!

Todd Erickson

I like this place.

Rosemary Hickey

Great staff and Dr.

Lisa Cofield

Far from home and needing immediate dental work, I feel so fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Clave and Big Sky Dental Clinic. They graciously worked me in to their obviously busy schedule and took exceptional care of me. They utilize the latest techniques and equipment and are able to provide same day crowns. Dr. Clave, Jess and Laurie are professionals with warm, caring chair side manners and I do not hesitate to recommend them for your dental needs should you find yourself in beautiful Polson MT.

Elizabeth West

This is an amazing dental office! The kindness and compassion of the whole team are beyond compare. While traveling I had a filing fall out and was able to make a last minute appointment here after having a fair bit of tooth pain. Dr. Clave was so kind. I had a fair amount of anxiety which caused my blood pressure to sky rocket. He and his staff were patient with me and administered laughing gas which caused my numbers to drift back into normal range so that the procedure could be done. They never acted annoyed or put out. They were simply very kind and compassionate. I would without a doubt come back to this dental office.

Just had a very relaxing experience at the dentist, Dr Clave. Would highly recommend him to all.Yes I would

Ivy Anderson

I have never met or had a dentist as good or caring as Chris. Chris is witout a doubt the best dentist I have ever had the privilege of having work on my teeth. His staff is also outstanding. Thank you for giving my smile back to me!

Duane Hille

Going to the Dentist at Big Sky Dental is a real pleasure! All of the hygienist are great! Friendly and helpful, and they always have positive conversations with each patient to put us in a relaxed mood. Dr. Clave is great, and really cares about each person that comes in! He designs an individual plan that works and is easy to follow. This is the first time in more than 10 years where I've been to a Dentist and come out feeling as though I can "keep my teeth" and what I can do for the best of my health!

Kathleen Shepherd

Dr. Clave is a truly consummate professional. He is meticulous and his work is flawless. He treats patients with respect and deeply cares about them and their comfort before during and after procedures.

Shawneen Turner

We loved our 1st time experience here. Wonderful, friendly, and professional staff. Would recommend Big Sky Dental to anyone in Polson and surrounding areas.

Dave Newburn

I really appreciate that I was able to have the extraction done on such short notice. Dr. and great staff are personable, professional, and caring. I also appreciate the amount of time Dr. Clave spends explaining options without pressuring.

Katie Stinger

I have extreme anxiety when it comes to the dentist, and the staff here always makes me feel comfortable no matter what. I will never go to a different dentist as long as I can help it. Keep up the fantastic work!

Corolla J

Dr. Clave and his team are professional and patient centered. Best dental experience ever.

Kersten Jackson

I take all of my kids to chris clave (there is 6 of them) they range from age 3 to 14. All of my kids love him and no longer cry when I say they have dentist appointments. He is welcoming and considerate. He explains all treatment,options and why he recommends them. He also works together with our orthodontist to ensure treatment is working together. I do not have a single complaint about them and recommend them every chance I get.

Danialle Phiel

Dr. Clave is kind and understanding. Although he couldn't help with the problem that my husband has, he did some research and found someone who could help us. We are very thankful to him for the help he gave us. I would recommend him to family and friends. Thank you Dr. Clave.

Robin Lopez

Very nice people! All the staff members were pleasant to interact with. Dr. Clave was very reassuring and helpful. Easy to work with budget wise as they let you know what price will be before the visit. Highly recommend this dental office

Rocky Point Heating

Lori is the best hygienist around and a valuable asset to Big Sky Dental Clinic!

Jason Newton

Chris does excellent work and is very committed to giving you the best he has to offer which is rare these days. His staff is also 5 star.

Chelsea Kleinmeyer

The most thorough dental visit I’ve ever had. The team is kind and great with educating patients. Happy I chose to establish care here.

Laura Whitten

I know most of the time people don’t want to go to the dentist. I actually had a good time at the dentist. I came in with the a new problem I wanted to have whiter teeth and they helped me out with that. I had my six month cleaning. I had chipped my front tooth and they fixed that for me. So they helped me with two things that we weren’t even going to do today. I was 20 minutes late because I lost track of the time. They phoned me and sweetly told me what time it was, They still took me in for my appointment. There was a lot of laughing and joking as well as the professional care. I feel that The dentist and the staff at Big Sky Dental Clinic genuinely care about their clients.

Gerald Conley

When we moved to Montana, I selected Big Sky Dental because Dr Clave chose the Polson area to raise is family, because he is relatively young which means more modern dental education and up to date treatments. We have not been disappointed. Excellent customer relations; excellent dentistry. Excellent staff. THANKS Dr Clave and all. 051718 forgot appt, got call to come in late anyway. See above, nothing has changed, except now familiar with staff and almost two years of dentistry to wife and I from Dr. Clave and staff - - top of the line! 052019 As ALWAYS, in for 6-mo cleaning/check up with my preferred dental hygenist. We left a great dental staff in Oregon and I researched thoroughly before choosing Big Sky. Modern, professional dentistry at its best.

jodi hunter

My daughter who is 8, had a toothache and when I called local dentist, Big Sky Dentist Chris Clave was the only dentist to fit us right in with emergency. Upon our arrival, the assistance made us feel very comfortable from offering water to Keurig coffee I was able to join my daughter in the exam room and the equipment that was used to take xrays was up to date and the assistant was comforting to my duaghter the entire time. Chris who was able to see my daughter on such short notice made recommendations to have my daughter see a pediatric dental surgeon I Kalispell the following week. We set up a follow up appt to have my daughters teeth cleaned and be our local dentist. I was very impressed by services. I would recommend Chris to all new patients needing a dentist. WTG Big Sky!

Bruce C

The best dental experience I have ever had! The staff was amazingly kind and gracious as well as thoroughly professional. I am delighted with the care I received. Another great visit! Thanks.

Peter Rork

As a physician, I recognize talent, skill and communication skills. This guy has it all, and more. Trust the doctor that the doctors seek out for their personal care...

Rich Bell

Due to my recognition of a potential necessity for dental care and having curtailed regular maintenance visits long ago I needed to find a Dentist. I did the regular web and friends reference search first and made my choice to use Dr. Clave and the Big Sky Dental Clinic. I should mention I was prepared to travel up to 50 miles away to the 'big town' because quality of care at all levels of service is critical to my needs. I had my initial session today, about an hour and a half of services I have had in the past so I have some comparisons. EXCELLENT at all levels. From the front office to the x-rays and exam and plans/options for the future care discussion with Dr. Clave, I was impressed by the skill, understanding and compassion of he and his staff. I was a person, not just a patient, and treated as such. Quality and service - I chose wisely.

Annabelle Smith

Great doc. Glad I took my teeth here. Cool staff too. 10/10 place

Sharon McDaniel

The staff is extremely friendly. Dr. Clave is very concerned about what's best for the patient, especially in the long run, and I appreciate his input and recommendations.

I recently needed to have my lower denture replaced which I'd had since 1998. I went to see Dr. Clave and after my first visit my anxiety proved to be unfounded. The staff was very welcoming, warm and professional. Dr. Clave immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. His extensive experience and calm manner made a world of difference in my situation. Thank you Dr. Clave.

Terry Olsen

We appreciate the thorough exam as first time patients. All staff we encountered was friendly & helpful. We definitely plan to return for our annual exam.
