    Horrible orthodontist. He will destroy your teeth. He's very absent minded and doesn't care about anything but the money.

They consistently took the time to explain everything that was being done, which made me feel informed and completely at ease throughout the process. Dr. Htut and his team truly go the extra mile to create a safe and comfortable environment. You can tell they care deeply about their patients and the quality of their work. I honestly never thought I'd have straight teeth, but now my smile looks amazing! I'm beyond grateful and highly recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.

Enter Prestige Orthodontics. Dr. Htut and his staff treated my daughter with patience, kindness, gentleness and respect. They took the time to explain each step in a calm, reassuring way, giving her space and time to process. Beyond the accommodations, the orthodontic care itself was outstanding. Her teeth are beautiful, and the process was smooth, thanks to Dr. Htut's attention to detail and thoughtful planning. What could have been a stressful, overwhelming journey turned into something truly positive. We are so thankful to have found this practice. I wholeheartedly recommend Prestige Orthodontics to any family, especially those with children who may need a little extra support. They don't just straighten teeth--they build trust, confidence, and smiles.

    I've been going to Gold Coast Dental for a few years. My first visit was only a few months after…read morethey opened. I really need to give a huge shout out to Lucy, who works in the office. I've been handling some of the payments for my brother's dental work. I'm not at the appointments with him, so I don't always know what the exact treatment was, how much was paid, or what the balance is regarding. Lucy helped my brother with the HIPAA authorization, and has been great explaining treatment and providing me with paperwork Ive requested. That's the work side. On a more personal level, I always enjoy my short conversations with her. She's always bright, friendly, and smiling. No one likes going to the dentist, but when I walk in the office and I see her there, I know I'm going to have a good visit! Thanks Lucy!

    At a moment when I was in fast & desperate needed emergency dental treatment, I trusted Gold Coast…read moreDental to help me. Unfortunately, after further investigation with my insurance company, it was determined that I was substantially overcharged for the services provided. What makes this situation even more disappointing is that the office staff themselves were actually friendly, professional & very knowledgeable throughout the process. It's unfortunate that employees who appear to genuinely care for patients are working under what feels like a dishonest & crooked corporate operation. When patients are vulnerable & seeking emergency care, transparency & ethical billing practices should be the standard & not something patients have to fight to uncover afterward. Personally, I no longer trust this office & will not be returning. Do as you wish, but carefully review your billing, treatment costs & paperwork before agreeing to anything.

I have always been on top of all my dental visits, check-ups, X-Rays and cleanings (3x/year). Come the appointment for cleaning, the hygienist comes in hot and tells me I have major issues with my gums and need to have a deep cleaning ($140 OOP) and laser gum treatment ($400 OOP) then maintain deep cleanings every 2-3 years with routine cleaning every 3 months because of my "advanced gum deterioration" keep in mind my other dental office with routine check-ups and X-rays never found anything wrong nor have I felt anything out of the ordinary. I asked her to just perform routine cleaning and she refused stating that there is no point to doing that and only a deep cleaning and/or laser gum treatment is what is recommended, I was stuck in the moment and the chair I said go ahead and deep clean it. Also note, the only time I ever did a real deep cleaning it was done in two visits with 2 quadrants cleaned at a time, she cranked it out everything so fast so it was basically a normal messy cleaning labeled and charged as a deep clean. After the cleaning I consulted a few hygienist friends I have and got their opinion, a deep cleaning is pretty extreme and almost unnecessary if you've already had one and maintain good hygiene and regular check-ups/cleanings and they all pretty much summed up how some clinics will absolutely be sales driven and up-sell or recommend unnecessary procedures to rack up the bill. I'm going back to my old dental office and paying out of pocket, I had no idea there's a dark side to this industry and it showed here. The whole process did not feel right at all, it was rushed, sales pitch was fast, filled with strong buzz words and fabricated urgency like a used car lot or old gym memberships. I should have just left and went for a second opinion at another office.

This is my 2nd time getting braces (lost my retainers in high school and teeth shifted) and my son's 1st and last time . From the very first visit, Edina made us feel welcomed and taken care of. She answered all of my questions and prepared a detailed treatment plan including estimated monthly payments.  Abari Orthodontics staff are always friendly, professional, and incredibly organized. Checking in for appointments and scheduling future appointments has been completely stress-free. My son and I mostly followed up with Dr. B., who is very knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely someone who cares about his patients. He takes the time to explain the treatment process clearly and always makes his patients feel comfortable and confident during appointments. It's rare to find someone so patient, attentive, and dedicated to excellent customer service. Thank you all for making every visit such a positive experience!

    My daughter was referred to Abari Orthodontics for an oral surgery consultation regarding the…read moreextraction of my 8-year-old daughter's severely decayed permanent molar (#14). Before we could even be seen by the oral surgeon, I was told that she needed an orthodontic consultation first. As expected, because my daughter is only 8 years old and still has many primary teeth, we were told she was not a candidate for orthodontic treatment at this time. We then had to schedule yet another appointment to finally see the oral surgeon--the very reason we were referred to the office in the first place. During the oral surgery consultation, the doctor agreed that the tooth needed to be extracted but recommended a bone graft that was not covered by insurance. When I asked whether the extraction could be performed without the bone graft, I was told by the treatment coordinator that the doctor would not perform the extraction unless the bone graft was also completed. As a parent, I wanted to understand the specific clinical reason for that decision. I requested written documentation explaining why the bone graft was necessary in my daughter's case and why treatment would be denied without it. Instead, I was provided with paperwork recommending a second opinion, which did not answer the questions I had asked. My concern is not that a bone graft was recommended. My concern is that I was unable to obtain a clear explanation of the clinical findings supporting the recommendation or the reason extraction alone was not considered an option. When parents are being asked to approve a procedure that is not covered by insurance and comes with a significant out-of-pocket cost, they deserve a clear and detailed explanation. Having worked in the dental field myself, I understand how insurance reimbursement and contracted fee schedules work. In some cases, additional procedures that are not covered by insurance can create significant out-of-pocket expenses for families, particularly when patients have state-provided insurance or plans that reimburse at contracted rates (HMO). While I cannot speak to the intentions of this office, the situation raised concerns for me because the recommended treatment involved an additional non-covered expense, yet I was unable to obtain a clear explanation of why it was required before the extraction could be performed. Parents should be aware of this and feel comfortable asking detailed questions whenever additional out-of-pocket procedures are recommended. I encourage other parents to ask questions, request copies of radiographs, seek second opinions when appropriate, and make sure they fully understand the rationale behind any recommended treatment before proceeding.
