Absolutely love this place! Walk in and the receptionist greets you with a smile. Wait is short, and the dental assistant is sweet and kind. Dr. Steven Shaffer is wonderful—calm, caring, and explains everything. So thankful for him and his team.

Patient care is good, and reminders are timely without being annoying. Only thing holding me back from a higher rating is the TVs haven't worked in 3 years (they really help take your mind off things) and the front desk receptionist wasn't very welcoming.

Owner Response

We appreciate your honest feedback. We're sorry about the TVs and the front desk experience—we'll look into both. Thank you for giving us a chance to improve at South Ridge Dental in Lincoln.

Almost 20 years I've been coming here, and honestly, it's the best dental care I've found in Lincoln. From the very first visit, I never felt like just a patient number—they actually know me and care. The team's always friendly and professional, making sure I'm comfortable. They take time to explain everything, which I really appreciate. After two decades, I wouldn't trust my smile to anyone else for my regular dental checkups and cleanings.

I went here for the first time today on January 21st 2025 I needed to find a new dentist for reasons I will not go into and it was like a whole new world compared to where I was going before. They were so kind and polite. Very willing to work with my schedule They also came up with an excellent plan to get all of my needs taken care of had a more than reasonable price. I am very happy with this first visit. I had a tooth that was very sensitive to cold and they took care of the problem right away on the first day. I could not believe it. I highly recommend them.

The hygienist’s Dr Shaffer has are wonderful. They are very knowledgeable and it’s a full 45-60 minutes for an adult cleaning and x-rays.This is one of the reasons I come to this office. Plus Dr. Schaffer has a lot of patience when it comes to procedures and he takes his time when I need a local anesthesia.One of the best shots I every had.

I recently visited south ridge dental for my 2nd time and both visits I had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made me feel at ease right away. The waiting area was very clean and comfortable and I didn’t have to wait long before being seen. They took their time to explain every step of the procedure and answered all of my questions hourly. Their expertise and gentle approach made the entire process painless and stress free. Overall, my experience at the office was exceptional and I highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and high quality dental care. I will defined returning for my future dental needs.

I've been going to South Ridge Dental for over 20 years. (Wow) I always see familiar friendly faces and always feel welcomed and well taken care of. I have an implant and the team at SRD always informs me of its health and stability and lets me know if there are any additional follow ups needed. I never feel pressured for expensive add on treatments and have never had any issues with my insurance or other payments. I highly recommend South Ridge Dental!!
