Dr. Puffer's office is HANDS DOWN the best Dentist's office I have ever been to. I recently moved to Nacogdoches and I was leary to see a new dentist but my mother-in-law assured me he was the best. Let me tell you, they DO NOT disappoint! I have never in my life had a dentist call me personally, before my appointment, to welcome me to his practice. Then, from the time you walk in, to the time you get back into your car, they make you feel safe and secure. Raven was my (awesome) hygienist and I learned things from her that no one has EVER told me! My gums are already in better shape! They give you everything you need and make sure that they explain everything that they are doing. I have never had the Nitrous gas because most offices make you pay for it, but this one doesn't. They try to make your visit to the dentist a happy and relaxing experience, and it's not just Dr. Puffer, it's the entire staff! If I ever leave Nac, I may just have to come back to town for my dental check-ups! He's my new forever dentist! I'm so glad that I took a chance on him. You will be glad you did too! (And no, they did not compensate me for this review) :)

The sweetest, knowledgeable , ladies work at Puffer Dental they explained every step and I got the Best Cleaning I’ve ever had, without pain. I recently moved here, my dentist in Colorado had a new hygienist every year. I appreciate the caring, professional experience with Puffer Dental.

Not only is Dr. Puffer knowledgeable and so talented in his skills, he makes you feel like you are his favorite patient. His staff is so pleasant and professional. Always great music playing and staff seems like they really enjoy their job. A lot of smiles and laughter when I’m there. Normally can’t say it’s fun to go to the dentist, but it is!

Best dentist and staff around.... besides having a first class business they go above and beyond to become part of your family as well make you feel part of their family.... they all know each one of the girls and wife by their first name and no what each girl lives about life and that’s normally the first thing we talk about before teeth become the topic of conversation..... my family won’t be swapping dentist
- Vernon S.
My 6 year old and I go to see Dr. Puffer and I’ve got to say it has been the BEST EXPERIENCE by far. Every time my son needs dental treatment done he comes out with a big smile and says “I didn’t even get a shot.” (And he is SCARED of shots) That is how GENTLE Dr. Puffer is. We highly recommend him for ALL of your dental needs.

My experience with Puffer Dental was excellent. The work I had done was painless. The assistants and Dentist were very pleasant to talk to and very competent while completing their work. The work was completed very quickly with no hangups. I highly recommend Puffer Dental to anyone requiring dental work no matter how much work they need to have completed. I give them 5 Stars for their excellent service, they are very very good. A most enjoyable experience.
- Michael G.
Great experience from the moment I walked into the office. Staff was caring and attentive to my concerns. Dr. Puffer and Michaela, assistant, made the procedure more than tolerable. No pain plus both are pretty humorous almost like a side show. By the way I was in for a root canal. Thanks again.
- Damon W.
Dr. Puffer is definitely a top tier dentist. Superb staff, professional & friendly faces all over the place. Previous dentist work was lacking in the workmanship department & Dr. Puffer was able to fix some of it at no charge! (My insurance doesn't cover Ortho for adults). In short, Dr. Puffer is a 5 star dentist.

My visit was not a normal trip to the dentist. From spending years in an abusive relationship there was significant damage to my teeth, jawbone and face including a total of 5 fractures. Breaking free from that life and spending the last 4 years in shame and almost unbearable pain, I finally found the perfect place to get my smile back along with my self esteem and find new courage. Dr Steven Puffer is a phenomenal Dentist and incredible man who has treated me like a friend since the moment we met with me being in tears as he handed tissues while listening to my story. Everyone in this office is amazing and now they are all part of my family. This emotional and surgical healing has been the greatest experience of my life after kids and grands of course. I drive 3 hours one way just to come here and will recommend anyone to do the same. It will be the best dental decision of your life. I cannot express how much they all mean to me and the blessings they bring into all their patient's lives. Faith in humanly restored!!!

From start to finish, Dr. Puffer’s team is the epitome of efficiency and patient-oriented service, but my favorite thing is that Dr. Puffer focuses so much on patient education and won’t leave the room until all of your questions and concerns have been answered.
- Jody F.
Best cleaning I've ever had. They took my pain and concerns seriously, and for the first time I had no pain from the dentists routine exams and felt cared for as a person. Highly recommended

This is a great dental office! Raven, one of the hygienist, is wonderful! She would explain everything she was doing and she was easy on the teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Puffer and his staff!
I broke a tooth on a Friday evening and when I called on Monday, they got me scheduled in quickly. The staff is super friendly and very professional and explained everything very thoroughly. And Dr. Puffer is wonderful! He’s easy on the teeth and very personable. Thank you for taking care of my emergency and making going to the dentist a less stressful experience!

I have had some pretty bad experiences in the past regarding dental care which has lead me to have a lot of fear towards the dentist. I wanted to change doctors and heard good things! I have been to Dr. Puffer for a cleaning and filling and had really amazing experiences. They took the time to hear my concerns and past experiences. Together we discussed and made a plan for my dental care and how to help me get to a place of comfort rather than fear. They explain every step during each procedure to ensure I am calm and comfortable. I ask a million questions and they are happy to answer them all. It never feels rushed, they are genuine and caring. Highly recommended!
- Amber R.
Fantastic! I am a college student and was having some dental issue so I started looking for a dentist. The reviews are what caught my attention and believe me they are well worth it. The staff was so kind and helpful and the dental technician told me everything she was doing every step of the way.
UPDATE
Had an appointment today and as alway it was fantastic.
- Marri V.

They sure know how to make me feel good about myself! They welcomed me in with a smile and brought me to my room with little to no wait time. I’m glad to have found a dentist I can call home!
