Stephens Brett

I was visiting SLC for business, when I began experiencing intense pain in a back tooth. I was hoping over the counter drugs would control the pain until I went back home to Philadelphia the next day. The pain was too much so I called Dr. Stephens and he treated me two hours later in the evening. He fixed me right up, with care and compassion.

I visited Dr. Stephens yesterday June first at ten p.m. Now anyone knowing Utah (especially on a Sunday) knows about half the town is closed to start the day. Yet alone during the later hours of the night.
My girlfriend called Brett and she reaffirmed that he was extremely pleasant on the phone, and met us at his office really quickly. As we affirmed he went straight to work. Took an x-​ray, explained my options, and immediately helped get me out of pain (I had a cavity under a broken tooth that had a filling)
Dr. Stephens is amazing! Not only as an emergency dentist, but as quality all the way. Matter of fact, he’ll be my new dentist from now on! A huge thank you!

Emergency dentist! I had been ignoring a little toothache, and it suddenly got worse on Friday night. My regular dentist would have come to the office to help me, but he was out of town for 8 days more – an unacceptable wait for the kind of pain I had! I called Dr. Stephens at 12:15 on Saturday afternoon and was in his office for care at 2:00.
Because it was an emergency, there was no receptionist or assistant. Dr. Stephens took a good medical/​dental history, did a thorough exam, took an X-​ray and explained it to me, and explained very clearly what the treatment plan was. He was very gentle with the anesthetic. He took a photo of the GIGANTIC crack in my tooth and spent several minutes showing me why I needed to go on to see an endodontist on Monday.
He was very pleasant, but not OVERLY chatty, etc.
It’s a sad story for my tooth, Friends. WEAR YOUR NIGHT GUARD, if you’re a grinder! BUT – you can confidently call Dr. Stephens for emergency dental work. My pain is GONE. I have an endodontist referral in hand and prescriptions for penicillin and a few pain pills.
I believe the price was correct for a Saturday afternoon emergency.
I am giving Dr. Stephens 4 stars only because I do not know how he would be as a regular dentist; I only know him as an emergency dentist. My family is comfortable with our regular dentist, and we have no intention of switching.
His office is humble and small, but clean and professional. I don’t know how he deals with insurance for regular patients, but emergency patients must pay full price upfront. He takes all major credit cards.
