    Teeth cleaning

    I've been to several dentists over the years, but none compare to Dr. Highum. Truly the best! She is professional, gentle, and genuinely cares about her patients. Every visit is comfortable, and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend! The office staff and hygienists are very welcoming.

    I love everyone at the dentist office. They are all so kind and so positive. It makes going to the dentist not something that I dread.

    Took my 87 year old mother for a check up, Dr. Highum was so gentle with her. I'll definitely go back.

    I had another excellent experience with Dr. Nouri and her entire team at Modern Dental. I came in…read morefor a tooth extraction, and it turned out to be a very difficult procedure. Despite the challenge, Dr. Nouri remained patient, focused, and determined throughout the entire process, which took about two hours. During the procedure, she consistently checked on me to make sure I was comfortable and not in pain. Her care and attention truly made a difference. She did an amazing job getting a very stubborn tooth out, and I felt such relief once it was finally completed. Her assistant was also incredibly supportive and comforting, working seamlessly alongside Dr. Nouri the entire time. After the procedure, I was sent home with antibiotics and pain relief medication, along with clear instructions. At my follow-up appointment, Dr. Nouri carefully checked my healing, smoothed out part of the bone graft area, and made sure everything was progressing well. She took the time to explain everything in detail and genuinely cared about how I was feeling. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. They even found a charm that had fallen off in the chair and kindly texted me to ask if it was mine, letting me know they would safely hold onto it for me. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot. I truly felt cared for and valued as a patient. Thank you to everyone at Modern Dental for such a positive & great experience.

I was originally going to go to a different dentist but they gave me an appointment a month out and when my filling cracked I needed a sooner appointment and found Dr. Nouri. I saw all the great reviews so I decided to make an appointment and had a great experience the two times that I've gone so far. The entire staff is so professional from the receptionist, to billing, to the dental hygienist. The dental assistant I had today, I believe her name was Cathy, was amazing! She was so friendly and communicative. Dr. Nouri was also very communicative with me, ensuring I understood what we were doing and made sure I was okay along the way. The quality of care at this facility was by far one of the best I've experienced at a dental office. The office was clean and modern, not dusty and old like other facilities I've previously gone to. They also take care of you fairly quickly and the wait time isn't bad like other places I've experienced. Ive already recommended this place to my sister and will recommend this place to anyone looking for a dentist!

There's a lot of comfort in familiarity, and I honestly wasn't sure how I'd feel walking into a completely new place. But I'm really glad I gave Inland Choice Dental a chance. From the moment we walked in, the office itself immediately stood out, clean, modern, and very welcoming. More importantly, the staff made the experience even better. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly pleasant, helpful, and easy to talk to. Nothing felt rushed or transactional. I had quite a few questions, especially since this was our first visit and I was thinking not just about myself, but also about my wife and daughters. The team took the time to answer every question thoroughly and in a way that was easy to understand. They walked us through everything step by step and helped create a clear game plan for our dental care moving forward. It's rare to find a place that combines professionalism with genuine kindness, but Inland Choice Dental does exactly that. If you're looking for a dental office that is welcoming, informative, and truly cares about helping you understand your options, this is a great find. Very grateful we made the switch. Thank you Dr. Choi, John, and team!

    Today was my first visit to this dental practice. With Covid and everything going on, nobody can…read moresee a patient for weeks, if not months. This business is not local to me but in desperation to find someone to look at my tooth, I called them. A nice girl named Caitlin answered the phone and told me they were booked at least a month out. I explained my situation and after putting me on hold, she was able to squeeze me in for an exam within two days. She made sure to tell me they may not be able to perform the work needed right away. Whatever. At least I am moving in the right direction. She offered to email me all forms and authorizations so that when I came in, they could see me right away and not take a bunch of time with paperwork. Super convenient! I wish all doctors and dentists did this. I arrived today for my exam/evaluation at 11am and was greeted at the door with a smile (no pun intended). I did not have a mask and was politely told it was their policy to protect their other patients, which I understand. I literally did not wait more than five minutes until being taken to the back for x-rays. I had Rosanna take my x-rays and she had heard from Caitlin that I was very nervous but not to worry. She originally took x-rays of the tooth in question but decided we might as well go through and do x-rays of all of my teeth. I know they were really squeezing me in but they took the time to go the extra mile rather than have me come back for a regular check-up. She was really nice and efficient. I always waited for her to say "bite down" before biting down. Of course, I failed to do this at the end and bit her finger. I couldn't be more apologetic and embarrassed. She told me she works with kids all the time and has gotten used to it. I now recognize she saw me as a 35 yr old kid, afraid of the dentist office. Afterwards Dr. Tran came in and quickly assessed a cavity as well as two other ones. I knew there were probably a couple others but no pain meant no rush. He recommended we get all three done at one time to limit the visits needed or further complications of them getting worse. He couldn't have been more gentle with my apprehension when looking in my mouth. He came in almost immediately after the x-rays were done. That never seems to happen. I found this practice to probably be the quickest, most efficient, honest and above-all, conscious of my immediate need for help. I understand doctors that do this for repeat patients but to squeeze me in and I've never visited the office before? Unheard of. Not local but I would/will make the drive for this group anytime. From the receptionist to the assistant/hygienist, to the dentist, everyone was world-class. I cant thank them enough. I'll update with a review on how my filling goes!

When the doctor finally came in he told me I needed multiple things done... Mind you I had already waited 30-35 mins and had things to do afterwards. When I asked how long it would take, instead of apologizing or giving a clear timeframe, the doctor responded with, "Why, are you in a rush?" That response alone was enough to show the lack of respect for patients' time. I was told they were "running late with patients". To make it worse, I was asked to go downstairs because that's where my hygienist was and when I went to the front deck the doctor asked if I could "at least get my X-rays done," in a tone as if I owed them something after sitting there waiting. That felt dismissive and inappropriate. After more waiting, I was told to wait longer because the hygienist was not ready for me due to cleaning. I decided I was going to leave and told the receptionist. Suddenly, she said, "She's ready for you." The problem was the hygienist was nowhere to be found. When that became obvious, the story changed to "She's still cleaning." Being busy is understandable. Being rude and dismissive isn't. Overall this place has gone downhill over the years, they are ALWAYS super inconsiderate of their patients time. Patients deserve professionalism, communication, and basic respect and you will not find it here!!!
