The dentist was extremely rough--my jaw hurt for months afterward, and I had daily migraines from the pain. Their scheduling system is also frustrating. They refuse to adjust their reminder calls, which come at 7 a.m. on weekends and even before the office opens. If you don't confirm--because no one is there to answer--they cancel your appointment. One of the teeth they filled had never bothered me before, and now it hurts every time I bite down. The front desk staff is consistently rude and will ignore you while you wait to check in. I strongly recommend going elsewhere.

They finally decided to start over and they still could't fit my mouth with implants. I never saw the same denist. They were still trying to fit my implant dentures when I went in for more procedures. After the next appointment I was escorted out and I asked if these were permanent dentures. The said yes and I said but these don't fit and they aren't a full set of dentures and they said bye bye. I'm still thinking that they would finish making dentures. About a month later I called in for an appointment and went in and they would't let me see a denist but they let me talk to an office manager who told me I wasn't a patient anymore. Don't go to Cherry Hill for implant dentures.!!!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent care I received at Aspen Dental, Columbia, MO. Having…read moreread some reviews, I must say I was neither upsold nor was I pressured. I was scheduled for a consult with Dr. Parrott because I needed a molar (tooth #19) extracted and I knew it would be difficult because it was in the center of a bridge, He worked off of the xrays that I had from Dr Nolph in Jefferson City as I did not want more xrays taken. He took the time to work me in that day as I had been treated for an abscess. He worked very hard to get out this decaying tooth, removing it in pieces, He even took time to pre-numb with a first shot before giving the big dose of novacain. His staff was very pleasant and considerate. I was presented with two options and went just with extraction with a plug in order to not overstep my insurance coverage. I will go back anytime to see Dr Parrott. Also, I apologize to the waiting room patients who might have been delayed by my care which was provided excellently but I am certain took longer than expected. As a 78 year old, I will remain eternally grateful for Dr. Parrott and his staff.

When I arrived for my appointment, only then was I advised that a cleaning would not be done, but I would have to schedule a second appointment at least a month later for the cleaning to be done.

Based upon this experience I can not recommend Accent Dental Center.

Finally, a dental place that is good, cheap, and fast. I'm pretty sure that violates some…read morefundamental law of physics, but there you have it. If you are following my dental hygienks (get it?), you've no doubt read about my experiences at the local Pro Dental (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pro-dental-columbia#hrid:DVY2zjS5BuBeVPP0P4kIgA). After that, I somehow got lucky, and landed an appointment at this place. Thank goodness. Let me count the ways. One: Inexpensive and Good. So inexpensive, that, since I am a relatively healthy person without any chronic dental issues, it is actually cheaper for me to pay for the check-ups and x-rays than to pay for dental insurance. Of course, if I get that root canal, I will be wishing I had the insurance but a guy has to have some excitement in his life. As far as the quality goes, I'm no expert, but I am sort of observant, and the hygienists go by every tooth, with the pick-thing and the polisher and the floss, and Dr. Fuchs checks there work every time and even checks my tongue and gums for cancerous things, along with the questions about smoking or chew and such. So he seems to care. Two: Nice folks. From the receptionist who knows your name even though they only talk to you once every 6 months, to the hygienists who are thorough and personable, to Dr. Fuchs himself who is professional and friendly, I'm just not sure you could ask for much more. Three: Quick and painless. I guess dentistry isn't ever going to be the thing you really look forward to, but for the most part, I leave there feeling better than I walked in. If they need X-rays, they take X-rays. If I'm getting my teeth cleaned, they get cleaned. If there are other issues, they ask me and I reply, and things get done. It's pretty straight forward, and they make the whole thing easy. But a review should have something about what is not-so-great, and so I'll include that here... Ah... well, I guess.... um... no, they do give me the free toothbrush.... I guess the AC is usually cranked, and sometimes I'm a little cold, so there is that. Anyhow, go there and judge for yourself.
