In addition we lost our insurance when exorbitant 2026 rates kicked in, and Deschutes Pediatric went above and beyond by checking into whether the kids were covered by OHP- (they were, yay!) and the dentist, who knew we had a lot of other expensive costs going on, even reached out and offered to do sealants at no charge for our son. They clearly care a lot about their little patients. Love them!

As much as I didn't want to do that, I felt we had no choice and so I agreed. The appt for anesthesia was more than 2 months out and I was told it would be completely covered with nothing out of pocket. A week before the anesthesia appt, I am told they (anesthesiologists) are collecting a $1100.00 fee because the anesthesiologist is out of network with all insurances. Not one person from Deschutes pediatric dentistry told us or even warned us money may be collected separately. If I was told this 2 months ago when the appointment was scheduled, I could have prepared and saved accordingly. Instead, I'm given a week notice right before Christmas. I'm sure the dentist has $1100 lying around, but I do not. Bad communication, bad training of office staff.

She always looked forward to coming. We saw Dr. Steve and he was awesome. One star off because the staff/receptionists never told me that they were no longer in-network. I called my insurance and they said technically they should've notified me. I'm not about to check before every appointment whether an office is still in-network. I do feel they should've told me so that I didn't have to pay for services that would've been considered 'free' to us. Besides this, we highly recommend this place.

From the front office, billing, scheduling, cleaning, and the amazing Porter super Doc's who do the work when things need fixing. I can not say enough good things about this office and staff. My last visit was spectacular. I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to getting fillings. Cleanings are easy, and a cake walk. That said when there is an issue that needs to be fixed I could not be more confident that the staff here has me covered. I had a small cavity that was addressed before it became a problem and a pair of fillings that failed from a previous local dentist. Dr. Maureen Porter and her amazing assistant (I am supper sorry, I totally forgot to ask her name) did an amazing job. It was what you would hope for in this case, the Doc caught the issue early and it was a easy fix, she even fixed the tooth gap that caused some minor food gathering, I know nasty right, but easier to eat now. Some of the best Novocain administration I've ever had, never felt a thing. During the entire procedure the team was both informative and caring during the entire procedure.

I had decided on dentures after years of pain and she assured me this was something she could do. A full upper was done. She then told me my four front lower teeth had to go and she could make me a lower partial that looked like a retainer. So she extracted those as well. $8500.00 later she out right refused to finish my bottom partial. Her treatment coordinator simply replied to every question I had with " You have been referred to another dentist." Dr. Theda was paid in full for this work both by my insurance and in cash by me. I have no idea why she referred me. My insurance will not pay twice for same procedure and I am left withOUT four bottom front teeth. The office did offer me a refund but it was so little I can not make my mouth whole until I save enough money to pay for the copays at another dentist.

Alpenglow's is $100 to start then $35 a month which gets you 2 cleanings and x-rays each year and 15% off anything else. My x-rays were quite the adventure. I gagged one time which is normal for me. But the very nice and well-meaning hygienist wanted to help. She asked for a shaker of salt. Someone else in the office said she had one. She then comes over with a test tube of "salt" to put on my tongue to distract me so I wouldn't gag. I was highly suspicious... so I tasted some. It was citric acid. SO acidic it burned. They told me they were going to put a stripe of it on my tongue! So glad I stopped them! Just putting the story here so you can also stop them because wow that would have been awful if I'd just trusted them and had a mouthful of citric acid I expected to be a quick shake of salt. Besides that, I saw Jennifer Montgomery and really liked her. She taught me how to unlock my jaw which no one has ever taught me and I've had jaw issues since childhood. She did a thorough cleaning and didn't diagnose any problems that weren't there which is a huge problem in dentistry. Glad I found someone I can trust!

Weeks ago I had my 2nd and LAST dental appointment at AlpenGlow Dental in Bend. Here is why I call…read moreit LAST: I chose AlpenGlow when I was having trouble with Advantage Dental in La Pine. They had staffing issues. Covid was to blame and having a dentist from Portland who had to drive during snow season didn't help. Reading the good reviews of AlpenGlow, I went for my new patient appointment to get my teeth cleaned there on May 25, 2023. Due to a series of medical emergencies I had to cancel the next cleaning appointments but I went to them on November 14, 2024 and left feeling sad. After seeing what was the X-ray technician, then dentist who did gum check (I thought she was the hygienist because I never had a dentist do this), then I briefly saw THE hygienist as she peaked in the room to say she didn't have time to do my scheduled cleaning as I "needed deep cleaning that would require two appointments". I heard horrible gum numbers I have never heard in my life. I later showed my daughter the estimate and she said it was the 2nd high estimate she heard from them recently. I'm in my 70s and I have had some long-term dentists. I miss the one who retired as he took care of me and my four kids for over 27 years. I know the routine. Most dental appointments have been good for me, but I didn't feel good about the last appointment with AlpenGlow. I felt hustled and I don't even remember their names, if they gave them to me. No small talk. I also wasn't even shown my X-rays which I later realized no dentist has ever done that to me. I was told the X-rays were in the other room I didn't get to go into. Other dentists would have shown them and explained my options. Not sad now. My teeth were cleaned in one appointment by another dentist, and I felt the way I have about the good professional dentists/hygienists in my life and I'm going to return there. Saw my X-rays, no rush. Merry Christmas to me--I saved over $900! So glad I got a 2nd opinion. I got a normal cleaning with the addition of a deep clean of two teeth, not four sections. I only had a topical to help with pain on those two teeth. This is the first time in my life to be told I needed a deep cleaning. I realized that it had been almost one year and six months since they were last professionally cleaned. But somehow I needed a deep cleaning of two teeth. A few teeth below needed a little extra attention but nothing like those two teeth. I have never felt the need for a second opinion but I'm glad I got one. The office of AlpenGlow has a beautiful vista, but I am not willing to help pay for it.

One of the best views of the Deschutes River in all of Bend is from the patient exam chairs at…read moreRiver Park Family Dentistry. I'm not kidding. But the view isn't the reason my hubby and I have been patients at River Park for the last seven years. The reason for that is the top notch dental care we receive from Dr. Ben Grieb and his staff. Including the patient chair side staff like dental hygienist Kathy, who does a stellar job of keeping our teeth clean and polished - we each go in three or four times a year to see her and once you've been her patient you see why she has a waiting list. Also, dental assistant Lorraine, who flawlessly assists Dr. Grieb when we need a procedure done, like a beautiful crown I just had "installed". Also the office staff, including Marcie who keeps insurance and personal billing coordinated and Mona who keeps appointments lined up and on the two occasions when my hubby had emergencies was able to get him in the door in nearly an eye blink. Front office staff make a big difference in patient satisfaction with a medical practice whether we all realize it or not. Another reason is that the office is both serene and bubbling with enthusiasm for patient care at the same time. That may sound odd, but you can sense it in the patients too, the good energy everyone seems to have about being there. And let's face it, going to the dentist is not something one looks forward to doing. But River Park slogan, "We treat you like family" really is borne out in the patient care. Still another reason is that the technology used for patient exams and procedures is all in place to provide state of the art dentistry. Not to mention the entire place, from waiting room through exam rooms is sparkling clean. That matters to us in medical offices. But in the end, it all boils down to how one feels about the dentist in charge. We have a lot of confidence in Dr. Grieb who has a high level of skill in dentistry technique as well as chair side manner that are the result of experience in dental practice combined with a passion for excellence in outcome. He is a top notch practitioner and one has the sense that he is completely vested in each patient's care. We appreciate his advice and the time he takes to explain options, we trust his expertise, and we are always extremely pleased with the quality outcome of his work. And it occurs to me, as I write this review, to share that something my husband and I both appreciate is that as a procedure is being done, Dr. Grieb explains what he is doing at each step. Great protocol to relieve patient anxiety, it seems to us! If you're living in Bend and looking for a dental office for top notch dental care, we happily use Yelp to refer you to Dr. Grieb and River Park Family Dentistry.
