I chose Dr. Landry after researching dentists in the Houston area. When I went in for my appointment, I was seen and treated by Dr. Singh instead. I was very pleased with her. I should probably preface this review by saying there is no one who is more afraid of going to the dentist than I. Throughout the years, I have had some great and some horrible experiences in dental offices. Consequently, I am dangerously close to phobic about going to the dentist. Dr. Singh very kindly put up with my extreme nervousness and was very gentle and understanding. Moreover, and perhaps the most important of all, Dr. Singh was very knowledgeable and competent. I like to know everything that is happening during the procedures. She was really great about explaining everything to me. I had a periodontal cleaning, some filling and bonding work, and replacement partials. I am still waiting on the partials, but it they are as good as everything else is, I won't be disappointed in them either.
My husband also had a root canal and crown done in one appointment. They have the equipment to make the permanent crowns on site. I could not tell the crown from his other teeth. They matched them that well. And, he had no pain.
Additionally, they offer a no interest finance option, which we decided to take advantage of rather than plunking down a pile of cash at one time. Erika handled it all for us, and, in a matter of minutes, it was done. She also said she would apply the insurance to the balance when it came in.
That said, I have to comment on the entire experience. From the start, I was impressed by the way the office is run when I discovered that your entire registration process is online - no filling out forms in the office. The ladies in the front office are charming. When I came in, they offered me a beverage and gave me a tour of the office, which is immaculate and extremely well organized, something that impressed me a great deal. They seem to have their equipment well sanitized and organized for easy access. I was very impressed with their digital imaging machine and the equipment that allows them to make a permanent crowns onsite, thus avoiding temporary crowns all together. When I left, I was given a nice welcome gift.
For all you who are terrified of the dentist and avoid necessary care as a result, I would highly recommend using this office. I am partial to Dr. Singh, but my husband and daughter liked Dr. de la Cruz just as well. I am so impressed with the caliber of their professionalism and competency, which is what is really important in a dentist. But I have to admit, I really enjoyed all the pampering as well.
Edit 11/19/15
I decided to change my review due to the fact that today is two months since I first began with Consultants in Dental Aesthetics, and I still do not have my partials. While I understand the responsibility lies with the lab, I think that I have been more than patient and heard excuse after excuse. The people in the office are pleasant and accommodating and continue to tell me they will make it right. I am at a point, though where I feel it is past time to tell me they will make it right and actually do it. Now I will not be getting my partials until almost December, and I don't have much faith that they will be right this time either. I left three stars because they did a great job with my periodontal work and my husband's crown. I am of the opinion, however, that if the lab they use does substandard work, they should find another lab. Additionally, I paid for the work two months ago. Very disappointed that I will not have my partials for my Thanksgiving trip. read more
