    Surprised to receive this bill almost two years after my procedure
    William J.

    Good dentist, disorganized back office. This is a bill I recently received. Notice the date of the procedure compared to the date insurance was billed--almost two years had passed before the Center for Advanced Dentistry billed my insurance. I suspected a problem when my insurance company alerted me that the provider had submitted a claim but did not provide all the documentation needed. I contacted the dentist office multiple times to ask them to resubmit the claim, and each time they said they would get to it soon. Fast forward years later and they finally appear to have gotten around to it. I had already changed dentists because I was uncomfortable with having to be in the role of encouraging a medical provider to bill insurance. This could be an inconvenience for some and a serious issue for others who can't afford an unexpected medical bill. Those who use FSA accounts to pay for medical bills have only a year to spend those funds before they expire, so postponing a bill this long could be costly. My experience with the dentists was positive; it's unfortunate I can't say the same about the back office.

    took this picture with my beautiful wife a few days after tp celebrate the surgery .

    Dr.lim did a full on upper implants in one day for me. The experience was amazing throughout the whole process I was well taken care of and informed the whole way . The surgery was effective and done in a timely manner. I woukd highly recommend any dental needs that have to do with the establishment. I cant thank Dr.lim enough he has gave me back a major part of my life . The experience was a great one the office visit laid out what was to be done abd how they planned to accomplish this .

    The dental implant they gave me is really good, the color is identical with the rest of my teeth.

    Sheila is a great hygienist. Spent plenty of time and effort, asked all the right questions, and got Dr. Lim involved at the end.

    The other doctor was supposed to take care of the surgical part of process, and Dr Steve the aesthetic part.

    I have been coming to Sincere Smiles since 2014. Never a bad experience!! Now they are our family…read moredentists. Dr vafai is my absolute favorite!! Francesca and Daisy are usually my hygienists and they always do a thorough job. They keep the conversation flowing so the procedures don't seem as daunting or uncomfortable. Christie at the front desk is so easy to work with. She has always been able to find me a time that works for my family. Highly recommend!!

    I was referred to Sincere Smiles in San Jose by a friend. From the moment I walked in, the staff…read morewas very pleasant and welcoming. The office is modern and equipped with updated technology, which I appreciated. However, I quickly realized this office may not be the best fit for someone looking for affordability. I have Guardian dental insurance, and my initial exam was quoted at a little over $100, which surprised me. Thankfully, I wasn't charged for the cleaning, and they were transparent about not repeating X-rays since I had recently taken them at another office. I appreciated that honesty. They recommended a saliva test, which was around $160 and not covered by insurance. It was presented as something I needed, which made me feel pressured, especially since I was already concerned about costs. I knew going in that I likely needed an extraction for tooth #9 and a temporary solution until I could afford a bridge. I asked about a stay plate because I didn't feel comfortable with the idea of removing an appliance in public while eating. Instead, they recommended an Essix retainer with a pontic tooth. It was more expensive than I expected and didn't address my concerns about my front tooth gap. I didn't feel like my personal preferences were fully considered. I was also told I wouldn't qualify for a bridge and would need an implant, which is significantly more expensive. The oral surgeon consultation alone was quoted at around $250, which felt high just for an exam and discussion. Before I realized it, I had spent around $600, even with insurance. When I returned to pick up my retainer, they reviewed my saliva test results and recommended supplements and additional treatments that would total around $2,000. At that point, I felt financially overwhelmed. I do need fillings and a deep cleaning, but the overall treatment plan felt out of reach for my budget. I do believe the staff has good intentions and provides quality care. However, this office seems better suited for patients with a higher budget or more comprehensive coverage. Between the costs, commute, and office hours conflicting with my work schedule, I decided to find a dentist who could work better with me financially. I wish them and future patients the best, but I ultimately chose to continue my treatment elsewhere. I've since had my extraction completed and am moving forward with a bridge option through a more affordable provider.
