St Helena Family Dentistry - Dr Tetz & Dr Varlakova

My EXCELLENT dentist retired a few years ago and I've had a very hard time finding a dentist to fill his shoes. Now, I've seen Dr. Rally Varlakova and my search is over.

I cannot say enough good things about Saint Helena Family Dentistry. I came in with a painful toothache, assuming it was a cavity that needed filling. I was in a bit of a panic because I’m leaving for a month-long backpacking trip on Saturday—and the idea of dealing with dental pain in the backcountry was not ideal. I’m also just a visitor to this area. To make things more stressful, I’ve had several bad experiences in the past and am genuinely afraid of going to the dentist. From the moment I called on Monday, the staff was kind, accommodating, and reassuring. They were able to squeeze me in the very next day. Everyone I interacted with was warm, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. I never once felt like a burden or like I was being rushed through. Dr. Yvette was absolutely incredible. She was gentle, thorough, and truly took the time to listen and explain everything to me. She did a few tests, reviewed my X-rays, and quickly figured out that it wasn’t a cavity at all but likely a cracked tooth that would require a root canal. She explained all my options clearly and made sure I understood every step before moving forward. To top it off, the consultation and X-rays were very reasonably priced, which I really appreciated. Dr. Yvette referred me to an endodontist and, miraculously, they were able to see me the same day. Here I am, just one day later, pain-free and ready for my trip—something I didn’t think would be possible earlier this week. I’m beyond grateful to Saint Helena Family Dentistry. They turned what could’ve been a nightmare situation into something smooth, manageable, and even comforting. Highly, highly recommend.

I had an excellent experience during my dental consultation. The staff was incredibly professional and welcoming, immediately making me feel at ease. The dentist explained everything clearly and provided great advice for maintaining my oral health. The clinic was clean and modern, with a genuine focus on patient care. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for expertise and kindness!

St Helena Family Dentistry made me feel so comfortable. I am 36 weeks pregnant and wanted to get my teeth cleaned before my baby came. St Helena Family Dentistry made sure I was comfortable and checked on me throughout the cleaning to make sure I was doing alright. A very friendly place!

“Exceptional Dental Experience!” I recently had the pleasure of visiting Saint Helena Family Dentistry for dental work, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The entire experience was characterized by professionalism, gentleness, and a commitment to minimizing discomfort. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel at ease with their warm and welcoming demeanor. Dr. Rally was not only highly professional but also exceptionally gentle throughout the procedure. The minimal yet precise use of novocaine resulted in a virtually pain-free experience with no soreness afterwards. It’s evident that Dr. Rally takes great care to ensure a positive and comfortable experience for their patients. I highly recommend Saint Helena Family Dentistry for anyone seeking a dentist who combines expertise with a gentle touch. Thank you for making my dental visit a truly exceptional one!
