J R.

I can't believe I've never reviewed this place. I've been going to creative smiles for over 10 years. My entire family has seen Dr Montilla. She's extremely clean and organized. Her staff, Tanesha is great and always greets us. Over the past ten years I've popped out two kids who are also seen by Dr Montilla, and my husband as well.

Jessica and Dr. Montilla are great! The office is clean, they have TVs to keep you distracted, headphones to help cancel out the drilling noise and glasses to help the bright light from blinding you. She answers all my questions, showed me pictures when I asked and doesn't make you feel rushed. Jessica also explained to me my billing/ insurance stuff which was helpful. Highly recommend this place. Just a heads up, parking can be a mess so give yourself enough time for that.

Waiting for my husband to finish..

Usually after I visit a dentist I don't go back until I have pain. I've been going back and keeping up with the cleanings after my deep clean for the first time in my life. Don't be afraid.

Melissa, the office manager, is wonderful. She's very informative when it comes to pricing, insurance benefits, and coverage, and she makes the whole process feel seamless and stress-free. The front desk staff is also friendly, welcoming, and always helpful from the moment you walk in. The dental hygienist who did my cleaning today was extremely thorough yet so gentle and careful. It was genuinely a pleasant experience, which isn't something you hear often about dental visits. This was my second visit, and I've already referred my husband because they truly make going to the dentist feel calm and stress-free. Highly recommend this office!

Up until I had fallen and cracked my front teeth I went for an appointment to see how they could fix my teeth, I went for a consultation on 06/26/2026 and one of their dentist recommended 2 fillings and 2 veneers, come by two weeks later I went in for an appointment with them on 7/6/26 because they told me to wait a week until my teeth healed and the other dentist that saw me recommended veneers for all 4 teeth at dental solution, that day they just did a root canal on one of my teeth. After my appointment with dental solutions I did want to get a second opinion just to make sure that was the best option in preserving my natural teeth and what's better in the long run which I did and when I went to another dentist they did say I should do crowns instead of veneers because one other teeth needed a root canal because it was starting to get infected and that the other 2 it was a 50/50 chance I might end up needing a root canal, he did say a crown was a better option just in case they need to reach the teeth from behind for the root canal. They also had prescribed me antibiotics for the tooth that needed a root canal. After my consultation I called dental solutions because I wanted to talk to the dentist and see if a crown was a better option, mind you they had not offered me a crown for either of them and had not prescribed me antibiotics, or even noticed the other tooth needed a root canal, I still wanted to get there opinion on a crown and stick with them but when I called today July 8 to ask if they could do the root canal on the tooth they missed Sandra was really defensive and wouldn't let me speak, she said "if you don't trust us, go with the other dentist, I'll go ahead and cancel your upcoming appointment and you can go with them", I explained I wanted to get a second opinion because teeth are important for people and making sure your getting the right treatment is important and it shouldn't matter if i decided to get a second opinion which I doubt she heard me because she kept speaking over me. And I told her I still wanted to talk to the dentist and she canceled my appointment. I'm so disappointed in how the front desk lady answered the phone and treated me, anyone who is paying would want to make sure they're getting the right treatment. She had also said "oh I don't like when people do that, you're not buying a car where you can shop around" very unprofessional. I ended the call by saying people's teeth are important and I told her okay that's fine cancel my appointment, I'll just leave a review. I added screenshots of the phone call and the appointment she canceled as well as the initial treatment plan they had given me. Even after not them not seeing the other teeth needed a root canal and was infected I still wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but the front desk lady clear any doubts, if they acted like this I'm glad I didn't go through with them because anyone who knows there not doing anything wrong wouldn't care if I went to get a second opinion. Because of her I didn't even get to talk to the dentist, which was the main thing I wanted to do.

I've had dental work done in the past that's had to be redone, and have had my fair share of unpleasant experiences, even during routine cleanings. I've been so sore and in pain for days, unable to properly eat, from just a regular tooth cleaning - I used to dread those appointments. It was very simple to make an appointment online which was already a plus. This place is also about 10 minutes away which was also convenient. The front staff is nice, not rude or condescending like some other places. I didn't have to wait long until I was called in. I had X-rays done, and then the Dr came in and actually spent a good amount of time just getting to know me as a person. After looking at my X-rays and doing a quick exam, he gave me a simple treatment plan for one tooth. He explained everything thoroughly and answered every question I had. I was even able to get my teeth cleaned with Zareh the same day and he was really efficient and gentle - no pain or soreness afterwards at all. I'll be going for my treatment in a few weeks so I'm a little nervous but feeling optimistic. I'll have to update this review after treatment so hopefully everything goes smoothly.

I started reviewing their yelp reviews and I made an appointment for my tooth that I had bad infection. I went in last Thursday and had all X-ray done by Alma. Omg she is such a sweet lady. She was telling me how the surgeon usually extracts teeth. So I started freaking out as soon as heard surgeon they have a surgeon that comes to the office once a month.

Recently I had a 20 year root canal go bad and it was time for an extraction + implant. I had been super afraid of finding a proper dentist to do this procedure because I just could not trust dentists to not screw me over with pricing and procedures. I came to Shant at Dental Blvd through a recommendation and could not have had made a better decision. Shant was the 4th dentist I went to for inquiry about the extraction and implant, and not only did he quote me a price lower than anyone else I inquired, but Shant and the office staff me feel so welcome to be seeing a dentist lol. It felt like I was visiting a dentist who was in my family or something I ended up going through dental blvd for my extraction and implant. I got my molar extracted at the start of July and my implant is about to be finalized by the end of this year. Since then, I've come to Shant for a chipped incisor (front tooth) and filling replacement on a premolar. Let me tell you something else. My chipped incisor had been worked on by another dentist before, and that filling only lasted two months before it fell out. Shant not only repaired that dentist's work, he made it look flawless to the point where you would never know the tooth had been chipped in the first place. I don't think I can trust another dentist in my life anymore.

It was clear she didn't want to be there working on a Saturday. She was very unprofessional. First of all, when she called my husband back and I got up to go with him, she told me, "Wait here. You can come back when I put him in a room." I waited--only to find out that after she finished taking his pano, she told him, "You can go get your friend." (Petty.) He corrected her and said I was his wife. When I walked back, she gave me an attitude and told me I could sit in the chair in the corner. As I was walking over, she told me to MOVE my things (drinks). This girl should not be working in customer service, let alone in a dental office. Janeth, you should focus your time and attention on properly cleaning and disinfecting the operatory for the next patient--not on having an attitude. (See attached photos of blood from previous patients.) You're an assistant, not a doctor. You're not shit. On a positive note, the woman at the front desk was amazing--very attentive and sweet. The doctor was okay.
