They also did 8 fillings on all my molars the SAME DAY and I told them I had TMJ and once the numb my whole mouth my jaw locked and they still forced it open because they already numb me and didn't want to waste it....

They completely ignore any anxiety even if you tell them that you are uncomfortable you will not even receive a response. I wen through 2 sessions of a grind down of my teeth for a bite adjustment with water and saliva splashing in my face, a fluorescent light and a dental hygienist pulling my lip away form my face. 10 minutes before this nightmare ended I finally told them "you guys should get glasses for this" "we have them. Would you LIKE some?" They rude dentist responded. "yes" I replied, then 10 minutes later the dentist walks out without saying a word. Then when I leave the ONE receptionist is on the phone with the dentist literally sitting back in a chair staring off into the distance, I ask "can I leave?" the receptionist glares at me and says on the phone "I am SO sorry. Hold on." Looks at me "yes you can go, did they tell you anything?" I replied "no" she look away and then says again to the person on the phone "I am SO sorry about that." Making me feel like a total inconvenience. This was such an awful experience I will never return there.

Each time I went for a cleaning, they tried adding on more services, and I felt like they were more concerned with making money than anything else.

Don't recommend going here!

I love Dr. Sheram…read more I didn't have high expectations for receiving excellent medical care in New Mexico and most of my experiences here have reinforced this thought. However, Dr. Sheram is clearly the exception and probably the best dentist I've ever had -- and I've lived in many places. Dr. Sheram has done quite a bit of work on my teeth. He's replaced a number of cracking fillings, made me a bite guard, etc., and stressed to me the importance of managing my bite/bruxism and regular flossing and use of the waterpik. Most reassuring of all is that he just cares and guarantees his work and will do what he needs to in order to make you comfortable with his work. What is most endearing to me is that not only is Dr. Sheram a great dentist, but he's just a great guy in general. Having had the pleasure to get to know him during our chair-side chats, he's just an upstanding guy in a humble, self-deprecating shell. His office staff and hygienists, the latter whom I've had limited experiences with, are also top notch. The only negative I can think of is that office operations run a bit slow due to his patient load. Obviously, all those patients are well deserved. I won't miss much moving away from New Mexico but I will miss Dr. Sheram and his gang and will have to look high and low I think to find a comparable dentist in my new home state.

I have been a patient at Northtowne for over 20 years now. I went from avoiding dental care to…read moreregular visits and care with Dr. Armiijo - four reasons: (1) Mike keeps it real - you know you're going to the dentist but the level of discomfort has always been and remains well managed, i.e., my fear of the dentist is a thing of the past. and this includes cavities, cleaning, bridges and implants - some serious stuff; (2) The Northtowne dental and admin. staff are excellent and a great team that instills confidence and sense of sincerity. To me, this is meaningful and appreciated; (3) I worked long-term overseas for many oof these years and coming back to Northtowne was always easy and the team catered to me, my dental needs and my schedule. I depended on them and they were there for me; and (4) At 72, my teeth have been an adventure but they are all still there and while not all OEM (original equipment), they work and the repairs and parts added are great, continue to do the job, and they look pretty good too. This is important stuff. I would never go anywhere else and highly recommend Northtowne.

I was brought upon this place by a friend whom I had a convo w/ about wisdom teeth removal -- she recommended me this place as she also had her consult here as well! & to be honest, I am not disappointed at all by my decision to come here! I've been putting off getting my wisdom teeth out for about a year now, but I figured now was the time to do it. Upon arriving to my consult, I had scheduled this appointment about 3 weeks out since it's summer & all of us are out of school + it's the perfect time to get them out. When I arrived, Angela, the front desk person, made the check-in process a breeze -- she had me fill out some paperwork & took care of everything else. After checking in, a nurse came & brought me back to take some x-rays to see how far in my wisdom teeth are coming in... to my surprise, I didn't realize the top 2 were also coming, so that was an interesting time for all of us. After x-rays, she brought me back into the room w/ the dentist chair & asked me a few questions regarding my history -- then we waited for Dr. Urquhart to come. Dr. Urquhart really knows his stuff -- from everything on the consent form he has you sign, to explaining the procedure, to thoughtfully answering any questions you may have... he makes you feel comfortable, safe, & that you're in the right hands. He also writes up your prescription during your consult so you can pick up your prescription prior to your wisdom teeth removal appointment. Fast forward about a month & half, I have just gotten my wisdom teeth out today by Dr. Urquhart & the whole process as explained from the consult was the exact same. Everything went by like a breeze -- he provides you w/ extra gauze just in case & was also nice enough to walk you out to the car too. If you're like me & was terrified of wanting to get your wisdom teeth out but are scared of everything that everyone tells you, DON'T BE. I highly recommend Dr. Urquhart -- you definitely won't regret it!

He literally gave me the most pleasant numbing injection I've ever had at a dental office. As he was fixing 3 teeth, he explained each step as he was going through the process. Additionally, he inquired about my comfort level from beginning to end. I am so pleased with the outcome of my teeth, and literally have no pain or discomfort post procedure. Also, every single technician/employee in his office is outstanding within their specific roles, from scheduling, insurance processing/billing, to cleaning teeth, dental assisting, X-rays, and making molds of upper and lower teeth. They are all kind, friendly and sincerely care about each patient. And finally, the view of Albuquerque from the dental chair is spectacular!

I set up an appointment with High Country Dental for my fiancée, the deal was "$99 New Patient…read moreSpecial" And I understand that there's probably tax to be added onto that. Now, he went in mainly to get his teeth cleaned and when they found out that he hadn't been to the dentist in a long time and that he had a dead wisdom tooth in need of removal, they decided to not only NOT clean his teeth, but give him a laundry list of things they wanted him to come in for which totaled, in 10ish visits, out to about $16,050 or so all the while knowing we don't have insurance. They then scheduled another appointment next day after the original appointment for I don't even remember which of those things on that list they said he needed to come in for. The only reason they're getting 2 stars instead of 1 is because as far as I was told they did do the X-rays and "exam" which would be looking at the X-rays, asking questions, and telling him what they see and their thoughts. That's about it though. Also when I was talking to the front desk lady about payment for what they did do, she tried to charge about $105, so full price for not even doing the cleaning part, and when I told her I'm not paying full price for them not doing all the work promised by their website, she then told me I could pay $75 instead and I was going to but she made it seem like they'd already charged the $105 to my account so I told her that I couldn't pay both at the same time, only one or the other, but I think she misunderstood what I was trying to say because I probably didn't word it in a way that she could understand so she told me that I didn't need to pay but I couldn't go back, and my thought was that I didn't want to go back if they were just gonna try to take me for all I'm worth again. I live paycheck to paycheck like most do these days and it's hard to fit in important things like health related appointments with what little extra we can spare for them and I was expecting him to go in, get his cleaning and then we pay around $99 and go on our way, but these people decided that they wouldn't make it that easy. I've added pictures for what proof I can give. This was back on June 12th 2025, I've been meaning to review but time got away from me so I'm posting it now that I have a chance while I'm thinking about it. It was a frustrating situation. I know that his teeth need more work but all I asked for was a cleaning. The least they could have done was clean his teeth to the best of their ability and I'd have been fine with that, paid the bill and taken their list into consideration. Plain and simple. I hope anyone who chooses to come here doesn't get the same treatment and has a better experience than I.

I cannot say enough good things about High Country Dental! Dr. King is amazing, thorough,…read moreprofessional, and extremely nice! I talked to her about getting two dental Implants. After looking at my panoramic x-rays (Which were at no cost to me or my insurance) She decided that it would be better to refer me to a surgeon, due to my narrow gums. I respect her decision. It proves to me that she cares about me as a patient and wanting my procedure done perfectly. We also came up with a game plan together to replace two crowns that have worn out over time .My dental hygienist, Danette(sp?) was very thorough and gentle at cleaning my teeth. This office is beautiful, elegant, and relaxing. Every single person in this office is extremely nice and welcoming. I highly recommend High Country Dental!!!

Once a Great Dental Clinic, Now Deeply Disappointing…read more My family has been patients at Family Dental for just over a year. Early on, they earned our trust--they offered appointments that worked for two working parents of three children, and even coordinated back-to-back bookings. The office felt genuinely family-friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, starting early this year, things took a troubling turn. During a February checkup, two of my children were told they needed multiple procedures: fillings, extractions, and even a crown. I requested to book those immediately but was told they needed to confirm insurance first. I waited over 20 minutes at the desk only to be told they'd call me later with a quote. That call never came. When I followed up, I encountered concerning service. The representative--who I believe is the office manager--was dismissive and twice placed the phone down instead of properly placing me on hold, letting me overhear unrelated conversations with other staff. She repeatedly asked if I was "okay" with the cost, despite me clearly stating it wasn't a problem. Her tone and insistence left me feeling judged, as though I couldn't afford the treatment or didn't understand her explanation. At our next visit, we arrived early for our 1:00 pm appointment and waited nearly five minutes before anyone acknowledged us, despite five staff members being present--including the office manager. When I asked about reimbursement if services weren't received, the response insinuated that I didn't want to pay rather than simply providing clarity. My 8-year-old was especially nervous, and while one kind dental assistant allowed me to accompany her briefly to offer comfort, I was shocked by what my daughter shared afterward. She said the dentist told her the assistant couldn't stay because she had "wasted her time." That's not how you speak to a scared child. To make matters worse, I was nearly charged for an extraction that wasn't performed--only numbing was done. When I tried to clarify at checkout, the office manager repeatedly interrupted me and made it clear she didn't want a conversation. She finally said she'd check with someone "higher up," but I could hear her loud phone conversation where she misrepresented me as refusing to pay for services my child "received." That, on top of everything else--including my daughter saying the dentist was "mean"--solidified our decision: this most recent visit was our last. I understand staffing issues happen, but that doesn't excuse lack of empathy, poor communication, and dismissive treatment. A pediatric-friendly clinic should prioritize kindness and clarity, not frustration and judgment.

He was rude and condescending throughout my visit. I don't trust him or anything that he told me. When I asked the woman who brought me back if he was usually so rude to patients and if he failed to greet all of his patients, her response was, "he has other patients to get to." As though that's an acceptable response. He is a nasty set of work. If you hate patients so much - get another job. Any professional that is too busy to greet patients with a simple hello, you know, treating people like they're human, doesn't need to be in business. When I went up to the front they asked if I would like to start scheduling my cleanings there. HELL NO. As a matter of fact, I will never be back again and I'll tell everybody not go to this establishment. I couldn't imagine him working with children. This evil, little man should go out of business. DO NOT GO HERE.
