First Visit Expectations

First visit with the new Drs and staff at Borderview Dental. I have worked in dentistry for over 30 years and this was definitely a 5 star experience! The front desk staff, assistant, Hygienist and Drs were all very thorough and very kind. I highly recommend.

Outstanding! Wonderful staff! professional and friendly. I recommend Borderview Family Dental to everyone.

By far the best Dentist I have been to in my 30 years of life. The office staff are very nice, pleasant to talk to, and professional. They know their stuff! The office is very clean and relaxing. And I’m serious, everyone is so nice and personable. They let you watch a show on Netflix while they fix your chompers. Last but definitely not least, they do great work and are very thorough and caring throughout the process. What more could you want? Me, my wife, and my 3 year old go here for our dental appointments and will continue to go here for as long as we live in the area. Absolutely recommend this dental office.

Great service

Friendly front desk greetings! And, Dental Assistant Melissa, walked me to “The Chair”! She explained stuff with a clever and natural sense of humor. I laughed a lot…something I don’t do at the Dentist office! It was calming and I appreciate being included. Melissa owns a contagious sense of humor which translates into patient-at-ease! Dr Mandy and Melissa were in sync, with proficiency I recognized as ‘Teamwork’. The procedure was executed well and on time. An enjoyable Dental experience for me. How often do you hear “ENJOY” and “DENTAL” in the same sentence? Thank you! Jan W.

A Dental Diary Part 1: March 10, 2026 A Jewel in Blaine: The Right Dental Team at Borderview Family Dental I had an amazing experience at Borderview Family Dental. Dr. Gagan Sandhu and his team are all fantastic. At the front desk, Daryna welcomed me and made filling out the patient forms very easy with their high-tech iPad setup. Viktoriya then walked me through everything financially, clearly explaining it all. Dr. Sandhu himself was extremely professional, carefully explaining my future dental needs and answering all my questions. Kirsten was also great with my X-rays. In general, I have a bad gag reflex, but she made me feel as comfortable as possible. Thank you, Kirsten! 🙂 Even the room itself was wonderful, with a huge window showing a beautiful green forest view, no need for TV or other entertainment! Blaine is a small community, so having a dental team like this is a real jewel. Kudos to the Dental Team at Borderview Family Dental! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent dental care. Part 2: April 21, 2026 Technology, Teamwork, and a Surprisingly Comfortable Crown Procedure Today, I had my second dentist appointment. As I had expected, I was greeted by Viktoriya, and after only a few minutes’ delay, Melissa, the dental assistant, welcomed me and took me to the treatment room. It was a busy morning at the clinic, but everything still moved along smoothly. Soon, Dr. Sandhu joined us, completing the patient-dentist-assistant triangle. The dental crown procedure on a major molar turned out to be surprisingly comfortable. Thanks to Dr. Sandhu and Melissa, along with the help of an Isolite retractor, I, as someone with a highly sensitive gag reflex, was able to go through the entire procedure without any gagging whatsoever. It was the first time I had ever experienced the use of an Isolite retractor, and I found it remarkable. I asked Dr. Sandhu whether it was a new invention or device. He told me that it had actually been around for quite a few years. That made me wonder why, after all these years, this was the first time I had seen it used. His response was that the reason may simply be the cost of the device. The entire procedure was efficient and impressively well coordinated. Thanks to the Isolite retractor, along with the seamless teamwork between Dr. Sandhu and Melissa, the experience was far better than I had anticipated. What a difference proper technology makes when it is paired with a skilled and professional team. Part 3 May 12, 2026 Precision and Efficiency I returned to Borderview Family Dental for the final stage of my crown procedure. The clinic was busy, yet everything remained calm, organized, and efficient. Viktoriya and another front staff member (whose name I unfortunately did not catch) greeted me warmly, and Melissa quickly guided me to the treatment room. Melissa removed the temporary crown, and Dr. Sandhu cemented the permanent one with remarkable precision. The fit was perfect on the first attempt, with no anesthetic, drilling, filing, reshaping, or bite adjustment needed. I was out of the clinic in less than 30 minutes. Once again, the teamwork, precision, and professionalism were outstanding. Kudos to Dr. Sandhu, Melissa, Kirsten, Lisa, Gabby, Daryna, Viktoriya, and the entire Borderview Family Dental team.
