I hate the dentist. Absolutely terrible past experiences. This is the only place I found I feel like he actually has a passion for his work and also respects what works best for me. I never leave here disappointed.
Dr.Lent was very kind and compassionate, in addition to being very knowledgeable in his area. Getting dental implants is very stressful due to the financial burden and sense of losing your teeth and feeling like you screwed up. Show moreDr. Lent I believe really cares and spends time with patients trying give them the best care possible, because he really does want the best for his patients.

Very friendly and lots of knowledge. Took time to explain and go over everything. Answered all questions or concerns. Very informative and helpful.
Very happy with his work
Everything was quicker and simpler than I thought it would be.
Very nice staff; kind and gentle. Dr Lent knows his practice and is very easy to understand, straight forward, thorough, and has practical options. Very pleasant man and all around nice guy. I would recommend him to anyone needing dental work.
It’s always a great visit, thanks Dr Lent.
Staff is really nice. They’re very informative And provide amazing customer service and quality care
I've been going here for over a year. I finally found a dentist with sincerity and compassion as well as the rest of his staff. The staff takes the time to know you and are so nice. Highly recommend First Impression Dental.
Great
Absolutely the best experience
Especially strong professional skills.
Best dental experience I’ve ever had, Dr. lent and his staff are worth the trip every time , I highly recommend this place.
Just got my first crown ever and Dr. Lent and staff made the process so easy and comfortable. They have beverages to enjoy while waiting for your crown to be made. In 2 hours I was on my way with my new tooth!
Dr. Lent is an exceptional dentist who is incredibly thorough in his work. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt well taken care of. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly examined my teeth, explaining each step of the process along the way. His attention to detail is truly impressive, and I felt confident i his expertise throughout my appointment. Dr. Lent and his staff are a top-notch team, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking comprehensive dental care.
Dr. Scott Jett and Jess are not only true professionals in every sense of the word; yet their attentiveness to me and their ability to make you feel like long-term friends, simply making you feel extremely comfortable and confident in their abilities. They called in my scripts a day before my surgery, and even made sure after leaving to up my meds, given the situation. Truly felt so comfortable and taken care of by the whole team.
First Impression Dental was the best experience I’ve had since living in Fresno. I got my X-Rays, deep cleaning. Also got pictures tooken on my teeth. Everything was professionally done, all in 2 hours. I will recommend Dr. Brett Lent to co-worker’s and Family.
The Best dentist experience I’ve ever had.
Love this office. Everyone is friendly and professional. Dr Lent is AMAZING Thank you all
Dr.Lent and all of his staff are the best. Everyone always greet me with a smile and go above and beyond me to make me comfortable and happy with my new dentures. They also adjusted my old dentures as well. I have had six sets made for in the past and not one of hem fit right. I highly recommend them. Thank you. Michael Kachadoorian
First of all, when you walk in for the first time it does not resemble a dentist office. Second, the decor, Cleanliness, and general atmosphere is welcoming, again does not resemble a dentist office. After you walk in and take in the decor and atmosphere, you arrive at the front desk. The two ladies put everything else aside to assist you in anyway prior to your appointment. Now the good part, the Doctor and staff behind the counter are very professional and help calm and ease you into your appointment. I have found my new dentist!!
It was amazing from the start of scheduling and making my first appointment. The staff was all amazing and very detailed.
Great experience and such friendly staff! Really welcoming establishment
I was always scared of the Dennis even at my age, meeting Dr. Lynch and having him do work on my teeth was comfortable pain-free. He always talks about what he’s doing so you don’t expect the unexpected great person and doctor to go to the staff is wonderful.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Great attention to care!
Always just an easy…..on time, clean, friendly office! Very calm. Great patient first approach!!
The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Dr. Lent takes the time to lay out options that can make your smile the best it can be.
I’ve been coming to First Impression for almost 2 years or so and I love my dental office and team. It’s a small team like a family and I always see all of them each time for different things I need done. The whole team is amazing and always takes care of me. Thank you to the front team Kris and Andrea for always being kind and answering all my questions. Thank you to the back of the house team Amanda, Cody, Vanessa, and Dr Lent for always taking care of my dental health needs. I appreciate you all.
Dr. Lent removed two old crowns and prepared the remaining platforms for new crowns.
