I am a mid aged woman who had the opportunity to experience many types of dental care around the US. I am constantly in fear of dentists anywhere. Dr. Duke is an awesome dentist! He is gentle, efficient and thoroughly explains every procedure. I highly recommend him for every procedure. Today he removed a wisdom tooth in less than 30 seconds, without pain. This is actually the second tooth he removed easily. He has done one crown and I am happy with my new tooth. I am excited to get my first laser filling without a shot at my next appointment. I no longer live in fear and actually look forward to a life long partnership with Dr. Duke for the care of my teeth and gums. Before she moved, my daughter also went to Dr. Duke on a recommendation from her friend. She also loved him. ~ Carol McIlney

I have never been more happy with a dental office than I am at Bitterroot Dental. Both Dr. Duke and Carla have been so very informative in all the visits I have had for myself and daughter. I absolutely love that aspect of care! Martina is also very sweet and helpful. I think the entire staff does a wonderful job in making us feel like we are individuals and not just "another patient". Additionally, my husband has always been somewhat afraid of the dentist and after his last visit he sent me a message to say "that was definitely the best dental visit I've ever had." It's nice to feel good about going to the dentist and not have it be one more thing that you dread or 'have to do'. Thank you so much, keep up the good work!!

Dr. Duke is a patient-centered dentist. He listens to your dental concerns and gives good practical realistic advice. The dental fillings he did for my teeth are like a work of art with his GENTLE HANDS.I have been satisfied with all of my dental care.In addition,my husband, who is picky about dentists, is also happy with Dr. Duke.

Dr. Duke is an awesome dentist, he is knowledgeable, friendly and even funny. Dr. Duke and his staff make you feel very comfortable and at ease while having to endure that trip to the dentist which most of us dread. I recommend Dr. Duke to anyone needing a great dentist. - Dana Jurasek

Dr. Duke did an implant and also a root canal for me. Both procedures went very well. I am impressed by his know-how and efficiency.

If you are looking for a unique dental experience, Bitterroot Dental is the place to go. The staff is friendly and fun and Dr. Duke will make your comfort his first priority. I have always found having cavities filled to be a very uncomfortable experience but Dr. Duke makes it quick and painless. I was also very pleased with Dr. Duke’s versatility in treatment plans and his willingness to listen to what I wanted and to work within my budget. I have been to several dental offices in the Missoula area and Bitterroot Dental is definitely the best!

Thanks Dr. Duke and Staff!! I’ve had enough dental work done to know when I am in good hands. Thanks for making the experience in your office pain free. It really means more than you know. I gladly recommend Bitterroot Dental to everyone! - Diana M.

When an old crown fell off, I was dreading getting a new one. But the whole hour and a half went smoothly from novocaine to temporary. I appreciated that Dr. Duke took the time to explain so many things to me, which helped me understand more and put me at ease. I also appreciated his cheerful manner and skill. Not only did he make an unpleasant event (to me) almost pleasant, but my bite is back to normal! And his assistant Marie is also to be commended for her efficiency.

My sixth implant was the best!



Some time back, Dr.Duke began his practice in Missoula and upon the recommendation of several of my friends, he became our family dentist. Over all the years I have had dental service, I can honestly say I have never had better care. He and his staff are highly professional and everyone is pleasant! Dr. Duke truly cares for his patients and their dental welfare. He frankly reviews all options and associated costs. You know he is trying to give his clients the best option at a reasonable expense.

When I discovered that my eye tooth had to be extracted, I was delighted to learn that Dr. Duke was amply qualified to do the implant! After removing the tooth and doing a necessary bone graft, I waited until area was properly healed. When I returned for the installation, I admit I was somewhat nervous considering previous experiences. However, I was pleasantly amazed at the speed and accuracy in which he placed a perfectly positioned implant. His dexterity and accuracy bespoke of experience and confidence! My mouth never even noticed anything different! No pain and no after operation concerns have happened!

I am eighty four years old and some have questioned why I would consider such an investment at my age. I simply told them that the ability of being able to thoroughly enjoy eating a good steak with the same relish as I have when I was young and with teeth that are as natural as my own, makes the choice a “NO BRAINER”. If I am still in good health when I am ninety-nine, I will do it again if necessary provided Dr. Duke is still practicing!

I first went to Dr. Duke for a regular cleaning while I was pregnant, I was very impressed by how heplful his staff was. I returned to have x-rays after my baby was born. I needed a lot of dental work done including having all four wisdom teeth pulled. They grouped all my work into as few visits as possible...which I great appreciated. Dr. Duke checked numerious times to make sure I was somfortable the whole time, even giving extra novocain when needed!He did such an amazing job pulling my wisdom teeth I have almost no pain or soreness! And saved my a ton of money by not going to an oral surgeon! Even called personally to check to see how I was doing! Thank you Dr Duke and everyone at Bitterrot Dental!

I went into Bitterroot Dental for a general check-up and cleaning. I also had two small cavities filled later in the day.I found the entire staff competent, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. Not only did they find me an appointment time on fairly short notice (~1.5 weeks), but once they discovered the cavities and found I was on a tight schedule, they offered to let me come back later in the day to have them filled. As weird as it sounds for a dentist appointment, I not only felt I was in excellent hands, but I had a good time. In terms of prices, I found Bitterroot Dental to be quite affordable -- either cheaper than or comparable to other dentists in the area.I highly recommend Bitterroot Dental. :)

Making a major change in the choice of a doctor, CPS, or dentist can cause some moments of anxiety. That’s what my thoughts were when I approached Dr. David Duke’s Bitterroot Dental office on Higgins near Stephens Ave. I had first learned of his office through a flyer and since it was so close by, I made an appointment. It was a great decision on my part.Since first meeting with Dr. Duke, I have been tremendously impressed by his knowledge and his professionalism. I had to have multiple implants to replace missing teeth. With the procedure completed, how fortunate I feel that Dr. Duke is my dentist. I found the time spent in his dental chair caused little pain and brought about wonderful results. I love my new teeth.Char Frojen

My experience with Dr. Duke was excellent! I was visiting Missoula on a weekend and my 9 year old daughter needed a tooth pulled. Dr. Duke came in on a Saturday just to see her. I was impressed by how gentle he was. My daughter didn't even know she was getting a shot; he was that good. The tooth was out so fast she thought he was just looking at it. I appreciate the friendly but professional atmosphere. I also appreciate the fact that he took the time on a weekend to help both of us learn more about how to improve both our oral and overall health as well. Clearly he is incredibly knowledgeable about dentistry and cares about his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Duke for any dental needs. If I lived in Missoula, he would be my dentist.

Looking for a dentist is sometimes tough. When it comes to Dr. David Duke look no further. Dr. Duke is truly one of Missoula’s finest dentists. His compassions, concern, gentleness, honesty and dedication to the field is all but amazing and then some. He’s matriculate in his trade as a dentist and treats his patients and staff as family.The atmosphere is refined yet subtle. There’s absolutely no pressure between patient and Dr. Duke in any way when it comes to decisions on a patient’s needs.His demure and professionalism is what I look for in an outstanding dentist. He takes the time, interest and has the understanding as to what you go through, been through or will go through and that is why after three years of service I will continue to be one of his patients. I highly recommend Dr. David Duke to anyone seeking a dentist.
