A few years ago, I was about to start chemo treatments and I was able to call and talk to one of the dentists about how this would impact my mouth and teeth and any recommendations for oral care. They were great about answering all my questions as well as providing information I didn't think about asking about. This must be a wonderful place to work because they have relatively low turnover. Today I am waiting to have a crown replaced and am impressed how technology has changed and that this practice is able to make and place the permanent tooth same day.

I visited Davidson Family Dentistry in late 2024. I had a…read morebroken bridge. Both the dentist and a follow-up call with Doctor Davidson informed me that a replacement bridge was definitely not possible - instead they wanted me to commit to a very expensive upper-arch denture that was implant-supported (despite also later conceding that there was a high risk of implant failure). Though actually getting a firm written estimate from them was not easy. I went to another local dentist in 2025 - within minutes of reviewing my x-rays and inspecting my teeth, he recommended a bridge replacement. I now have a replacement bridge - at a fraction of the cost Davidson wanted to charge me. I can't recommend them - my experience with them was very frustrating - and I do not believe they offer up the most cost-effective solution to customers,

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.

Price: I was referred by my dentist for a root canal after having intense pain in a tooth for a…read moreweek. When I went I knew exactly what tooth needed work, I was asked to make a payment up front before they billed my insurance. I just got a bill in the mail (almost three months after the date of service). I'm almost offended by this bill. The root canal in itself is a huge expense, add in the x-rays and we're already well over a grand. There is an extra $104 oral evaluation charge and random "service charges" added on that date several months after treatment. The examination charge would have seemed fine other than that I had maybe a 2 minute discussion where Dr. Schaeffer checked to make sure I did have the correct tooth, and then very quickly there were needles in my mouth and my treatment started. Care: I am a busy person. I work full time and was told by my dentist that she was "fast," so I was already appreciating that. I'm not a scared dental patient. I have had some work done before, but I honestly was so anxious and on edge during the treatment. I was actually in and out in less than 40 minutes with completely paperwork and paying. Her work was so fast and aggressive and she began working immediately after shooting me up with the numbing agent. It was a very uncomfortable experience. I have never felt like so much like a dollar sign than a patient. The good news is she seemed to do good work and I had no issues since then. I'm just not thankful for this obscene bill right before Christmas.

I highly recommend them.
