We were very happy with each phase of our first day with this company. They set us up with their 1st available appointment that was over a month out, but put us on a call earlier list if there is a cancellation. This was great for us, because as retirees we could be available at a days notice. Both of us got calls to come in earlier than our scheduled appointments. Front desk staff were very efficient at processing Maggie & I as 1st time patients. The dental team makes the 1st appointment 2hrs long to do a very thorough exam. They want your input to get your level of involvement in the dental care process. The equipment they have is top of the industry standard. It gives the patient a good view of dental issues, allowing a more knowledgeable choice by patient & Dentist. We never felt pressured to additional care that wasn't truly required at the present time. We were given a break down priority list of items needed & told they would work with us on payment steps based on the priority list. Even given discounts on how payments can be made. I see them on Monday for 1st step in fixing some of my issues. We highly recommend this Dental Care Family

I've been a patient of Dr. Babilonia's since she took over the practice at Smiles That Work, which…read moreI think was about 2 years ago. Everyone in this office is kind, professional, and always puts you at ease with whatever you're having done. Their office hours are very accommodating, with early morning and evening appointments available if you need them. I've seen them several times over the last couple of years for everything from cleanings, to cavities, and more. Then, yesterday, August 7, 2020, I tripped over a small gate in our backyard, landing face first on our concrete walkway, damaging several front teeth in the process. I called their emergency number, and Dr. Babilonia answered right away. She asked me to text her a picture of my teeth, and upon seeing the picture, decided I needed to be seen by an endodontist, as the injury was more severe than she could care for in her office. Luckily, her husband, Dr. Hochberg, is an endodontist with a practice located near Montgomery and Pennsylvania. Agreeing that immediate treatment was crucial, she and her husband met us (I was in no shape to drive so my boyfriend took me) at his office within 45 minutes. Let me repeat that, just so it's perfectly clear. Dr. Babilonia and her husband came in on a Friday night, in the middle of a pandemic, to help me. Now you may think, well, that's their job, and sure, I wouldn't disagree with you, but they could easily have said, you know what, given the extent of the injury to your teeth and mouth, it's probably better if you go to the ER. That would not have been an unreasonable call to make. But they didn't. They gave up their Friday night to help me instead. Throughout the whole experience they were both calm, calming (I was a little freaked out), consultative, and clearly concerned about my physical, and emotional well-being. I'm going to leave a separate review on the page for Dr. Hochberg's business (Endodontic Associates of Albuquerque) as well, but I want to make sure I say how impressed I have always been with Dr. Babilonia, her staff, and her practice. Last night's emergency just solidified what I already suspected. These are good people, doing a good job, and taking care of their community. If you're looking for a dentist, you can't go wrong with Smiles That Work.

Burned bad! I needed a new dentist, or so I thought…read more went to Tijeras location. Had X-rays and cleaning. Knew I needed a crown my last dentist had said. Yep, Gaylina Reachi found it did, then added two other back teeth needing crowns. She did not show me the X-rays which every dentist had always done. Very unprofessional I felt. I went back to my old dentist who had taken X-rays recently. He did the one crown he'd noticed. I ask about the other two crowns Gaylina Reachi said I needed. No crowns needed on those teeth he said. For dentists to prescribe unneeded dental work is a practice that is wrong, fraud dentistry and harms patients oral health and essentially steals their money. It is morally wrong in every way. Office policy is that it is the patients responsibilty to know their dental coverge, not the dentist. I feel All parties must work together to reach a satisfactory outcome. I will never cross the threshold of their doorway and happily spread my experience.

Our dentist retired and sold his practice to Dr. Rodas. My husband and I gave him a chance but…read morewere disappointed. At a routine cleaning, Dr. Rodas suggested replacing some older fillings. They weren't bothering me, but I agreed to have two replaced. After doing so, I returned 3 weeks later complaining of pain. Dr. Rodas explained that one of the teeth NOW had a large crack. That could be causing the pain . He took photos and said "It might be time to talk about about getting a crown." I wondered if the crack formed while he replaced the fillings. I decided to get a second opinion. I chose Cabezon Dentistry for the second opinion. At that appointment I learned that the photos and x-rays Dr. Rodas sent over were unreadable. Despite the lack of records, Dr. Morrison examined the new fillings and COULD NOT FIND THE CRACK that Dr. Rodas photographed. In addition, he advised AGAINST getting a crown. Dr. Morrison said, "I don't recommend a crown for that tooth. It is a shallow filling. A crown tends to destroy the integrity of the tooth. Oftentimes a crown turns into a Root Canal a few years later."

The office staff claimed they would call her back but did not do so, so I encouraged her to call again since they were likely busy. The front desk answered and placed her on hold, but they forgot to actually push the button so my daughter had to sit there and listen to the other staff and the front desk staff talk about her. They laughed that this was the third time she had called and made fun of her being from out of state. They agreed with each other to just tell her that the dentist had left and they said their goodbyes. When the front desk person returned to the phone and said the dentist had left, my daughter brought up the fact that she was not placed on hold and just heard their entire conversation. The staff member became very quiet, failed to apologize, simply mumbled something, and hung up. This is the worst unprofessional customer service I have been a part of experiencing. They showed no care or sympathy and were inappropriately disrespectful.

My wife was referred here for a wisdom tooth extraction by the UNM Dental Clinic. The office is…read morelittered with random dentures, plasters and dirty implements across every surface, and it seems more like a taxidermist workshop than a dental surgery. They put a bib on my wife that was just vile, completely saturated with sweat and pus. The dentist seemed out of it and began talking about how he had taken out his own wisdom teeth. My wife's first language is Spanish but she understands English; however, the dentist would only speak to me and clearly assumed I had brought her there because I wanted the cheapest service possible. He told me that he could remove her wisdom teeth, but it would hurt so much that we would become enemies and that I should really have her put to sleep. I wasn't sure what he meant at first as I didn't think UNM would refer us to a veterinarian, but I eventually replied that of course we wanted full anesthesia. It turns out he doesn't do that. We were only there about 10 minutes but by the time we left I was looking in every corner for the candid camera. I'm still not sure whether this was some sort of prank or not.

I have a bit of anxiety about dental visits, so when I finally got up the courage to make an appointment I searched Yelp! for the best in ABQ. Sandia Heights Dental Care showed up and so I trusted my fellow Yelpers and made an appointment. So glad to say everyone was right and this is a great facility! The first thing you should know is this dental office seems pretty busy and they are about a month out on scheduling appointments, so if you are considering going in call them now! The office was clean and professional and all of the staff were friendly and efficient. You can tell by the way they interact with each other that everyone works well together and they are a tight team. I told my technician I have a bit of anxiety and she was understanding and compassionate. She quickly took the edge off with a gentle touch and calming chit chat. She listened to my concerns and explained each step in great detail. The appointment went great and I booked not only my next cleaning for later this year, but also an appointment to discuss Invisalign, because this clinic does it all! I even grabbed a handful of business cards for my dental phobic friends. I highly recommend going here whether you are just looking for a new dentist or have some anxiety like myself.
