If you're looking for a simple cleaning and oral exam this is the place to go. All in the office are great, hygienists, and dentist. Always made me feel comfortable. However if you need major dental services like a bridge, tooth extraction, etc. this is not the place. I paid over 10k for work to be prepare and set a bridge. Slightly two years later the bridge cracked and the company they use has no warranty. They have audacity to call and leave a voice message that if I want to pay another 4.5k they will order and replace my bridge. Really on a 2 year cycle. I really hate to leave a negative as o have referred everyone I know here but until they change companies or offer guarantees on their products. Buyer beware

Regarding my previous review, I challenge Summit Dental, without being fraudulent, to tell us all…read morewhat was incorrect within my original review? I made an Appt with Dr. Millard (under my network). They instead gave me Dr. Leinen (out of network) for a 3 minute review that made me liable for the entire $311 charge (which would have been $0 for me if Summit had simply followed instructions). For all potential customers--you now see how Summit Dental will deal with any problem that may arise -- they'll simply call you names and not accept responsibility for their errors. Personally, I'm done with this firm.

False advertising. Called to schedule "free whitening" coupon. While scheduling, they…read morespecifically asked when my last routine appointment was, and I told them 2 months ago. When I arrived for my appointment, they told me that in order to get the whitening, I HAD to get a routine exam, which my insurance would not pay for since within 6 month window. (they tried to call me 30 min before the apt to tell me, but I didn't get the call). They said they would allow me to use it in 4 months in conjunction with a comprehensive exam, but they don't take my insurance so I would have to pay out of pocket. Complete waste of time, and they had several opportunities to tell me, since it was NOT in the small print. Bait and switch!

Ankeny Dental UNProfessionals,…read more After a regular dental cleaning, the hygienist normally schedules your next appointment in 6 months. Well, mine scheduled it earlier that 6 months so when I got my next cleaning I was sent a bill because Insurance would not pay due to the office's scheduling mistake. I called the office to explain their mistake in scheduling and I was told that I needed to know what my Benefits were and it was my responsibility. In time, I was told that this would go to "collections" and the office would not even split their mistake with me 50/50. Now I don't know about you but I trust that my dentist/hygienist will schedule me for a 6 month cleaning or if a mistake is made, that they own their mistake. (I have since found a new dentist and I explained this scenario to the new dentist and they said they would have "written it off" because of the mistake that was made). I prefer to go where staff are Professional...they now are my new dentists. The dentists are great but the BILLING dept and manager are very unprofessional. I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with these staff members. Dr. Huston is and always will be a good friend but I think the Practices' choice for billing staff needs to be changed. Has anyone else had to deal with this billing staff? Post it here because I guarantee there are more of you out there. Adios UNprofessional Billing Staff

Now they have one day crowns for a permanent one which will be even better because they have their own new machine.
