I was a bit nervous about getting veneers, but I decided to trust Dr. Rahbar's recommendation to improve my overall smile rather than just treat the one tooth...and I couldn't be happier with the results. I had seen the before and after photos and knew it was going to look great, but the final result exceeded all of my expectations. I'm amazed at how natural and beautiful my veneers look.

Everyone was kind, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the process. They made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Brandi checked in after each appointment to make sure I was doing well and not experiencing any pain or issues. I truly couldn't be happier with both the results and the overall experience.

They provide wonderful customer service, guiding me through every step of fixing my front teeth. When one of my teeth broke and the temporary crown kept falling off, this office put a new one that lasted until the permanent ones were ready. I worked closely with a ceramist to create a realistic tooth that fit perfectly with my smile. The dentist here is very detail-oriented and even sent the work back to ensure it was just right. The entire process was quick and smooth, making me feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way.

I came in as a new patient not expecting much, but my expectations were exceeded! Dr. Kerry and the…read moreentire team were beyond welcoming, communicative every step of the way, and exceptional in patient care. I spoke with Dr. Kerry about my goals and she thoroughly evaluated my X-rays and scans, which were pulled up on the TV for me to see. She also showed me before & after photos of previous patients who received layered composite veneers, her specialty, which require no enamel removal. She was extremely meticulous in evaluating my oral health and her expertise was apparent throughout the entire visit. You can tell they invest in the newest technology and truly value patients' experiences. Thank you to the entire team for making me feel so cared for! Cali helped me with payment/ paperwork towards the end and she was so lovely and had such an infectious, positive aura! I would recommend Dr. Kerry and her team to my own friends and family!

I honestly wish I could give SmileStyle more than five stars…read more From the moment we walked through the door, the entire experience was exceptional. The office itself is absolutely beautiful, modern, welcoming, incredibly clean, and equipped with technology unlike anything I have experienced at a dental or orthodontic office before. Eric welcomed us so warmly and took the time to explain everything before Dr. Kerry came into the room. Every part of the consultation felt organized and thoughtfully prepared. From the imaging process to seeing all of my daughter's photos displayed on the large screens in the consultation room, even being welcomed with her name on the screen, it was such a professional and personal touch. But what impressed me most was Dr. Kerry. My daughter had already worn braces for two years, and unfortunately, we were not completely happy with the final result. She also knows quite a bit about teeth and orthodontics herself, so watching her face light up as Dr. Kerry explained what could be achieved with Invisalign honestly meant so much to me. For the first time, she became genuinely excited about the possibility of getting the smile she had hoped for. Dr. Kerry's knowledge, attention to detail, and understanding of the newest techniques and technology were immediately apparent. SmileStyle feels like a practice that truly keeps up with advances in dentistry and orthodontics rather than simply continuing to do things the way they have always been done. Everything from the equipment and imaging to the way the treatment plan was explained, gave us so much confidence. I am 48 years old and have been to many dentists and dental offices throughout my life, and I can genuinely say this was the best dental experience I have ever had. Thank you to Dr. Kerry, Eric, and the entire SmileStyle team for making our consultation such an incredible experience. We walked in looking for answers and walked out feeling informed, excited, and hopeful. I cannot recommend SmileStyle highly enough.

I write this review with a profound amount of gratitude. Your health is one of the most important…read morethings in your life that you must trust others with; and I'm thankful to say I could not be more happy with Dr. Aldo and the team at Bella Vita Dental. I see a lot of reviews talking about upselling and unnecessary treatment and I feel like I must say that whilst in my specific case this would not at all be relevant, it would take truly corrupt individual to do this to what is essentially a patient in a healthcare setting. I cannot in my wildest dreams see Dr. Aldo ever doing something like this - nor do I believe her to work in an environment in which this would ever take place. I stand firm in my belief that Bella Vita Dental is not capable of fostering this sort of behavior. The front desk staff were friendly and inviting and thorough with the answers to my questions, and Dr. Aldo and her team of dental assistants were kind, compassionate, and needless to say, all my issues were addressed and I am back to pain free. Whilst I do not look forward to the next time I have dental issues; I find comfort knowing I'm in great, compassionate hands with Dr. Aldo and all those at Bella Vita Dental.

TL;DR: The billing service that Bella Vita employs filed 2 insurance claims with incorrect billing…read moreinformation, which were denied by my insurance, and are refusing to update that info and resubmit the claim (as recommended by my insurance) and are leaving me with an outstanding $1167 bill. I was a patient with Bella Vita for about 5 years until I moved away last October. I decided to start Invisalign with them in May 2025 and paid my quoted amount ($2411) in full the day treatment started. To my surprise, in April 2026 I received a call that my claim had been denied by my insurance but they would help me out and file another claim that would hopefully be approved by Delta Dental but if that claim was denied, they would file an appeal for me. I got a text on May 11, 2026 that I had an outstanding balance that amounted to ~50% ($1167) of what I originally paid at the start of my treatment so I called to ask what happened and Emily at the front desk told that they filed an appeal for my denied claim but couldn't answer any insurance or billing questions due to the fact that their billing department is not done "in house" so they would have to relay all my questions to a separate service. The office also refused to give me any contact information for their billing department so I'm forced to play telephone with the office and their billing department but also said they could not tell me why my claims had been denied. I was, however, told that my benefits for ortho had been maxed out. I called my insurance immediately after that initial call and they told me that, no, my claim was not denied due to my coverage being maxxed out (it has not been at that point) but because there were errors with the billing information on the claims that were submitted. The insurance rep also notified me that they had no appeal on file, so either there is some technical issue on the insurance side or the office lied about filing an appeal for that 2nd denied claim. The insurance rep told me it was an easy fix and that the office's billing department just need to update that billing info, resubmit, and it should be approved. From May until August of this year, I've called 6 times asking for updates and relaying the message that all they have to do is update their incorrect billing info and resubmit the claim and it should be approved. Everytime I call, I'm met with "The claim was already filed and denied twice so there's not much we can do, but we'll ask the billing department again." I've tried asking for the practice manager and have been told "she's not at her desk but she will call you later" and I never receive that call. All in all, be wary of this place. Since their billing is not done in house, no one at the office can answer specific billing questions and refuse to give contact info for that billing office so you're forced to play telephone with them and their billing department if you ever have an insurance issue.

He's not like your typical dentist who guilts you for your whole appointment, but instead he actually genuinely cares about you, your life, and will give you such useful tips when brushing & flossing your teeth! I love this place and would recommend it to anyone who's scared of the dentist like I was! Now I actually do enjoy going & always have a good experience. I've had so many services done by them - cleanings, filings, crowns, implants, and the service & experience has been so incredible! They also have pretty top notch technology - which is super cool because they will explain it to you if you ask. But because they take so many pictures and scans, they really can explain to you the status of your teeth and help you get back on track. I know some people are worried about getting scammed, but this place will show you x-rays and pictures taken in real time so you can understand everything as well. 10/10 experience. I've been coming here for years and after your first appointment the staff gets to you know pretty well. This year I also got a Christmas gift (chocolates). All the people are so easy to talk to and it really creates a solid community in such a big city!

(I'm in the process of searching for a prostodontist to finish my full mouth rehab and have visited several other prostodontists in the area). Some of the OTHER dentists made me feel ashamed, spoke down to me, got upset for asking questions, acted in a hurry, were super expensive, didn't explain treatment and all kinds of other negative things; it was the complete opposite with doctor Paredes! I am really impressed by doctor Paredes! He is very polite and takes time to answer any questions, he is well spoken, well educated and has a lot of patience even with an extra inquisitive, anxious person like myself. Never did I feel rushed with him and he always took the time to explain things fully and face to face with me. I had the feeling by talking with him that he is the type of person that believes that no question is a stupid question. I'm still taking a little time to choose who I'll commit to for my treatment but sofar of the many doctors I've researched and met with he is the nicest, more caring and well spoken specialists in the area! Definitely give him a try if you have complex dental needs and are looking for a true professional!

This is a complaint about his front desk, not Dr. Paredes. I read such good things about Dr…read more Paredes, and I really wanted him to take care of my teeth. However, I was really disappointed when no one at his office returned my three voicemails or replied to my message on his website requesting an appointment. This occurred over 4 days; I was being patient. Either he is so busy that he can't accept new patients, or his staff is not doing their job and causing him to lose potential patients. I would not have wasted my time if there had been a notice on the website or voicemail stating that Dr. Paredes is not accepting new patients. Hopefully, the doctor reads this and is made aware of the issue.

After years of…read moreseeing specialists and finding the right care to improve my joint health I finally felt well enough to get back in for dental care, but was so nervous. Let me tell you how much I love Dr. Collin's and team!! They took all of my concerns a seriously, I mean really listened to me. I like that they have laughing gas as a backup option to help with my anxiety during these visits, but I found myself perfectly fine going without. This place is generational family-owned and you can just really feel the warmth and care that comes from that. After a cleaning I came back in for bonding to fix the chip I've had in my front tooth for literal DECADES and found that process to be nice and painless as well (literally and figuratively). Last little note is I've been impressed with their willingness to work with my insurance to make sure I'm keeping as much money in my pocket as possible.

Last year I decided to do the major work needed to bring my smile back. This decision was done in large part to the confidence I had in Dr. Collins. The process took about nine months and involved removing all existing teeth and crowns and putting in 28 new crowns. The process was easier and quicker than I expected (I did opt for sedation dentistry which certainly helped relieve almost all of the of the discomfort of the procedures). Today I can smile again and have beautiful teeth. Also, everybody in the office is very friendly and supportive of all patients. Special shout out to Ashley, Dee, Winford and Diedre, all are great to work with. I very much recommend Dr Collins for any dental work you need.
