Painless dentistry, everytime!

Very friendly, professional and thorough. I appreciate the atmosphere created by the staff and the ambiance from all of the natural light that this space enjoys.

Awesome dentist, everyone is super nice and friendly! I recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist in Marquette MI!!

Stopped in for a cleaning and Jessica Larson had an awesome professional and positive attitude. Work ethic’s like this make a great experience at the clinic.

This office is run very smoothly. they show care and compassion with all dental procedures. The cleaning is great and the last crown I had she wanted it done asap and they fit me in the same. day.

This place is Great!! I had bad experience's in the past with Dental care. Brandy, Jessica, & the rest of the staff are Great, Friendly, & Helpful. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Skaates is great ! Love her and the staff. Been coming to this dentist office for many years and never was disappointed . Always had a great experience .

I have always been terrified of the dentist because of a previous negative experience when I was younger, but was forced to find a dentist when my wisdom teeth caused problems. Dr. Skates took me on as a new patient years ago, and I have been coming back ever since. Her staff has ALWAYS made me laugh, feel safe, welcomed, encouraged, important and taken care of all while being professional. They take the time to get to know you on a personal level and her work is always impeccably done. My fears haven’t fully gone away, but Dr. Skaates and her team have always gone above and beyond to make me comfortable. My teeth have never been better and I now look forward to my appointments. I would highly recommend Dr. Skaates and her practice! Thank you for serving our community! :) I have always been terrified of the dentist because of a previous negative experience when I was younger, but was forced to find a dentist when my wisdom teeth caused problems.

First time coming here, and I don't regret switching dentists at all! Loved how welcoming and informative they were and they definitely made me realized how bad my last dentist was

I highly recommend Superior Dental Care and Dr. Carla Skaates and crew. A great all-around smooth and positive experience. Thank you!

Have been seeing Dr. Carla at Superior Dentisry during Covid for several visits and give only the highest of recommendations. Her dedication to protocols, professionalism and quality dentistry has been outstanding which is also true of her highly committed and knowledgable staff. Very happy teeth!

I was visiting the UP and broke a tooth. I was able to get an appointment with Dr Skaates within 24 hours of calling. Dr. Skaates is very profession yet warm and caring. I found the the dental assistant and the rest of the support staff to also be very professional yet friendly. Dr Skaates did an excellent job of diagnosing my problem and providing a temporary fix. Dr. Skaates and her team documented the situation and quickly provided the information to my dentist at home. I high recommend Dr. Skaates and her team. I was visiting the UP and broke a tooth.

I highly recommend choosing Dr Carla Skaates, she does amazing work and makes you feel a level of comfort most dentists do not. The Dental Assistants are all so friendly and easy to talk too. They also make it an awesome experience for children. 5 stars awesome people, amazing work, judgement free environment!!!!!

I have been a patient of her and her crew for a couple of years now. I find them to be a very competent and capable crew! I thoroughly enjoy how upbeat and informative they all are, especially Doc Karla and Jess! They’re professional and yet down to earth! Good job, ladies!!

Dr. Skaates and her team were so accomidating! I'm in college and had a dental emergency and Superior Dental Care got me an appointment as soon as they could. They took me in as a new patient and guided me in the directon that would be most benifitial for a long term solution. Without them I would have been in some real trouble.

Dr. Skaates and her dental hygienist have done a very satisfactory job on my teeth and oral health. The office staff seem to run things fine and are pleasant to work with. Her prices are not very low, but I feel her work is worth it. I have been with her a few years and plan to stay with her. She offers a dental coverage plan which helps bring costs down over time.

Love this office. Great with kids and adults. Highly recommend switching to here if you are struggling to get the care you need elsewhere. You won't be disappointed. The office is small and quiet. They book appointments well planned out and actually stay on time! The waiting room is never crowded, even pre COVID. ❤ When you walk in you feel welcomed and get that smaller town feeling that they care about you, not just another paycheck walking in the door. The staff remember you! I give them total props for remembering even the small details about my personal life discussed last visit 6 months prior. Makes visits seem less awkward and stressful when you can simply pick the conversation back up from before. They also don't beat you down about dental hygiene. Yes it is important, but life happens and flossing isn't always top of the mind. They will provide tips on creative ways to remember though! They are great with kids. After a few other failed dentist offices with my daughter I decided to switch her to where I go. Best decision ever. The staff are patient and calm with her. They include her in what is going on versus directing everything to me. I can stay in the room with her the entire time (no idea why this is not common practice elsewhere). My son now goes there as well. My daughter even asks to go back to show them her teeth. For kids they bring out the fun cleaning heads on their dental tool (aka the cleaning head may be a zebra or a giraffe). They do have little toy prizes. They do send home little goodie bags to get your child excited about brushing at home. This is a family office, which means even the smallest of patients matter to them. Insurance is accepted up front. Sad that this even has to be brought up nowadays but I know it's a big problem elsewhere in the area. This office will run your insurance and only ask for out of pockets not covered. They help process the insurance claims instead of making you pay for a large bill then have you submit the claim only to find out they coded a dental process a certain way that you won't get reimbursed for, like the other dentists in town. Veterans and nervous dental patients. Dr Skaates provides care to veterans at the local veterans home, which means two major things. One she sees even the worst of teeth so don't be concerned if you have poor teeth and need proper care. Second some veterans have PTSD, or have tough exteriors. This means that if you, or someone you love, needs extra care due to sensory overload or fear of the dentist, she and her staff will take amazing care of you. If you've made it this far in reading this review, that means you have likely experienced not so favorable experiences elsewhere, just as I had. I'll save you the trouble of changing dentists multiple times. Go here and know you will be cared for. Love this office. Great with kids and adults. Highly recommend switching to here if you are struggling to get the care you need elsewhere. You won't be disappointed. … More

Dr. Skaates and staff are always pleasant and easy to work with. I have no complaints when it comes to this office.

Jessica and all the staff are very friendly and professional. They do a great job with dental work and cleanings and they follow all covid 19 protocols Would highly recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Skaates and Brandi make a great dental team. They work efficiently which my appointment comfortable. Dr. Skaates is gentle and concerned for her patients comfort. Great job Superior Dental Care.

Dr. Skaates is a great dentist. However I can not say the same about that staff she has working for her. They have messed up on my billing more than once and refused to fix it. Also, the do not honor the quotes that they give you. When I questioned this I was actually told "well, sometimes they are not right." If you tell someone how much a service is going to cost...then that is how much it should cost. I am very disappointed by the staff that works for Dr. Skaates. Which is unfortunate because I like her as a dentist. But I cant keeps having my charges be more than what I was told. Dr. Skaates is a great dentist.

A Dentist I Like Going To! Dr. Skaates and everyone in her office is friendly and they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. She even has a relaxing video of scenes of marine animals in the ocean, in the waiting room. Most importantly, I trust Dr. Skaates and her knowledge of dentistry. She is patient and takes the time to explain things and procedures. So, this is why I drive 150 miles to have her be my dentist. A Dentist I Like Going To!
