One of my front teeth became cracked. I went to Chas health and they said my only option was to have the tooth removed. I was told to go to an endodontist if my insurance would cover it. It took a week to get into Avenue Dental which was the shortest wait time of any endodontist I called. They were able to save my tooth and my insurance covered everything! I feel so much more confident knowing I could keep my smile just as it was. Thank you Avenue dental read more

This guy treats his female coworkers awful. Not friendly to his patients. Cancels appointments an hour before appt. Had crowns done that had to be redone because of the gap. read more

40k down the drain with this dentist ! I am so destroyed he ruined my life and broke me financially! I paid 40k for a all mouth implant procedure, yet sitting here with one row of dentures and you would think the least he could have done was refund the 2k he had said he would and that was a year ago. He still has not refunded the 2k and you would think he would have at least done that 2k considering his actions of pulling too hard on my implant being the reason it had failed. I will be reporting him to the dental board and am putting this law degree I spent the last 2 years acquiring to use! He has no remorse and no heart. He needs to be stopped and get his license taken. One thing he is good at is defacing his patients. I won't ever be the same. THANKS DR. NAVDEEP VIRK OF AVENUE DENTAL CARE read more

There is no star low enough for these people! To go in and have a procedure done that is fully covered by my insurance, but they refuse to send in the documents that well clear this claim. They're asking me to pay and pay and pay and pay, which I refuse to do I do not owe this money! Do not go there they're crooks they will steal whatever they can from you! Do not go there read more

Their advertising shows $43.00 for extraction with Xray's. They came at me with a bill for $1,300.00 to extract 1 tooth! WITH INSURANCE! While the staff was friendly and helpful, I guess they take advantage of you when you're deeply in pain! Bait and switch is never good, but to swindle sick people is about as low as you can go. read more

We feel obligated to write a review. This is not out of vengeance but we feel people should be warned. We originally chose this place because My husband had a filling that fell out and they came up on a list of dentists from our co-op plan. The filling turned out to be quite expensive but the equipment they used was very good and the people were courteous. I decided to go in for a cleaning. Before moving to Spokane we had a very good relationship with our dentist. They made sure that we had full xrays & all preventative dental work was done because we were moving and would no longer have insurance. Avenue Dental insisted on taking their own x-rays and would not request a transfer of the xrays we had done before we moved. They indicated they needed their own. While I was in the chair the hygienist indicated that I had three old feelings that needed to be replaced or I could possibly need root canal's on all three which were in different areas of my mouth. I felt pressured to get them done and they indicated that they could do them right there and then which seemed odd because procedures are usually scheduled. I had a large amount of Novocain pumped into my gums And the work was excruciating. I cried during the whole procedure and left in tears. At no time was there a follow up to see how I was doing. My husband went in a couple weeks later to have a cavity filled on the side of his tooth and was told that the only way they could do it was with a crown to the tune of $900+. I have since been told that a filling in the side of your tooth is common and a crown is not necessary. I have also been told that replacing three old feelings at one time is not good practice. A very revealing point about this business is that I overheard other patients being given the hard-sell For work that needed to be done and a discussion of money while in the chair - not once but every time we were there. A confirmation of our decision to leave this dentist and transfer to another dental office was made when our x-rays were requested by the new dental office and I was called and told that I would have to pay $50 for each set of x-rays before they would send them. The final manipulation was that they were sent to me via my email to give to my dentist to stay within the law. If they are sent directly to the dentist they are forbidden to charge a fee. It only takes a few minutes to do this and they said that it would take over two weeks to get them If Sent directly to the dentist. I have been told that the staff is paid by commission and I'm not sure if this is true but it only makes sense and is apparent. read more

So called on Friday to schedule an appointment for my husband who has a cavity. They said they weren't able to fit him in until the 14th of March. So I thanked them and said I would look somewhere else. Then the lady said they could fit him in on March 5th at 10:30. So I scheduled him for that. Well today is March 5th and my husband went for them to only tell him that they didn't have him scheduled but they could fit him in at 11:30. I read google reviews for this place which were decent reviews. Then this morning when I mapped the address the yelp reviews popped up. I read them and they are opposite of what I read on google. I would give this place zero stars if I could. Very unprofessional and ridiculous. read more

Awesome people here. Always so polite. The dentist and hygentis are so gentle!!! Awesome facility!!!!

The dentist is incredibly rude and does not do good work. The assistant he had at the time I went was either new or incompetent and everyone in the office left her working on me alone. The office people lied to me twice before my procedure, telling me that my insurance had approved it and would cover it (after pushing me to get it done earlier than I would have) I get told a few months later that the insurance didn't cover it because I didn't have the insurance long enough before hand and I owe them for the insurance half of things. I try to work that out today and explain to them that this was in no way my fault and I should not be expected to pay for their mistakes and was told "too bad" and to pay it or they would send me to collections. This is the most shady company I have ever dealt with and they do not care about customer service or satisfaction at all. Do not go here for anything. read more

Same Day Root Canal, two hour from the first call, Can I say More? received excellent care

I just got home from an appt here and I was thoroughly impressed! My appt was for 4pm but they had me in the back at 3:30 pm (first time ever that I didn't have to wait a long time!; I don't know if this treatment is typical tho...) My general dentist is in MT but I needed a cavity filled. The secretary and assistant were very friendly and the dentist was very knowledgeable- he found a second cavity on the tooth next door and took pictures to show me it. I was able to get both filled at the same time! Woo! The technology was very updated too. They are accepting new patients so I definately recommend them if you are looking for a dentist in North Spokane! They accepted my insurance, but their finance plans looked very affordable if you don't have dental insurance. read more

People were nice, dentist was nice, expensive but seemed to do good work. My biggest problem is their voluntary dental plan which apparently you cannot not opt out of even if you do not use any of their services. $19/month, which I paid for many months, my card was compromised thus cancelled and giving a new one. Their automatic payment stopped which I figured was fine, cancel my policy which most insurance companies always do but no-- they wanted the money and charged me $35 each month for NSF for a total of $238 which they turned me into collections for. Seems like they are more concerned about money then customer relations. Won't go back that is for damn sure. read more

Avenue dental is amazing. They treat you like family. I've had a crown done there and they cleaned my teeth and filled a cavity. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Morgan and the rest of dental Hygienist are the greatest and the doctor was absolutely amazing he explained everything he was going to do and answered all my questions. I highly recommend you go there for all your dental needs read more

I have to say this is the worst dental practice I have ever gone to. I took my son who keep in mind has never had a cavity and had sealants put in just a year before visiting this dentist. After his exam the so called dentist said my son had 13 cavities. I said "how can that be?" He just had sealants a year ago, their hygienist told me they probably all fell out. They gave me a print out of all the work that would need to be done. About 1,300 total. I went with my gut and took him to another dentist. Turns out he has 1 cavity. I can not believe a dentist would put a child through 13 fillings when he only has one. So please beware of this place and I strongly suggest getting a second opinion. I only gave it one star because I had to. read more

This place treated us great the first couple appointments. However, after they did the work that was needed, and used all our insurance, things changed. We told them not to go over our insurance, and they did, so we ended up having a bill, then my husband required more work done because he was in pain and they took their sweet time. My husband remained in pain for far too long even with us calling the "emergency" phone line. The receptionist is the worst I have ever had to deal with. We will be looking for a new dentist now. read more

Beware! Dr. Navdeep Virk is the worst and most dishonest dentist I have ever encountered. While working on one of my teeth, he damaged a crown, then tried to charge me for replacing it. He botched trying to give me an anesthetic injection so badly I could not close my eye for two days. Watch out for his "specials." The procedure for which he offered me a "special" price involved work that was essential to the procedure, and yet was not included in the "special" price, work for which Dr. Virk charged me twice as much as other dentists. To add insult to injury, Dr. Virk makes himself unavailable when the #&*% hits the fan. There's a very good reason there's no waiting to get into this dentist. read more
