I felt pressured into unnecessary treatments, as if they were looking for issues to recommend additional unnecessary treatments.

Asked if a crown was necessary on a bothersome tooth (previous cavities but didn't have any pain) she immediately said yes and I said I had plans after this appointment and would like to schedule the crown at a later time. I also asked to have part of my permanent retainer to be fixed and glued back on to the tooth it was loose on. She said she would check it but instead said "it's already coming off" and proceeded to shatter the glue on the remaining parts and I felt it crackle all over my mouth. She ripped the wire off the rest of my teeth and said I now have to get molded to buy a sleep in retainer from them... :O ... She left to check my X-rays and right when she got back she told me to open my mouth AND SHE IMMEDIATELY NUMBED MY MOUTH WITH A NEEDLE. I was SO CONFUSED and stunned that she immediately decided to fit me for a crown I didn't even schedule yet ??? It all happened so fast I couldn't speak while she was in my mouth. The whole process hurt SO BAD and I felt so betrayed??? I was crying in the chair as I was sitting there with a shaved tooth. I called my mom while I was alone and cried on the phone. Ever since, I've had crazy sensitivity on the teeth she worked on and it's been so difficult to eat ever since... I've changed dentists since and as a result, they recommend root canal bc this dentist fried the nerves in my tooth. She managed to do all this AT MY FIRST INITIAL VISIT TO ESTABLISH CARE. I WAS STUCK IN THE OFFICE FOR 3 HOURS!!! Came in at 2 and left a bit after 5 pm??? Missed my dinner reservation and couldn't eat after. I've asked my dentist friends as well and they all agree that NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE. Dentists work conservatively and step wise but she immediately chose to be invasive for a money grab. Please save yourself from this scamming dentist office.

Your health is one of the most important…read morethings in your life that you must trust others with; and I'm thankful to say I could not be more happy with Dr. Aldo and the team at Bella Vita Dental. I see a lot of reviews talking about upselling and unnecessary treatment and I feel like I must say that whilst in my specific case this would not at all be relevant, it would take truly corrupt individual to do this to what is essentially a patient in a healthcare setting. I cannot in my wildest dreams see Dr. Aldo ever doing something like this - nor do I believe her to work in an environment in which this would ever take place. I stand firm in my belief that Bella Vita Dental is not capable of fostering this sort of behavior. The front desk staff were friendly and inviting and thorough with the answers to my questions, and Dr. Aldo and her team of dental assistants were kind, compassionate, and needless to say, all my issues were addressed and I am back to pain free. Whilst I do not look forward to the next time I have dental issues; I find comfort knowing I'm in great, compassionate hands with Dr. Aldo and all those at Bella Vita Dental.

TL;DR: The billing service that Bella Vita employs filed 2 insurance claims with incorrect billing…read moreinformation, which were denied by my insurance, and are refusing to update that info and resubmit the claim (as recommended by my insurance) and are leaving me with an outstanding $1167 bill. I was a patient with Bella Vita for about 5 years until I moved away last October. I decided to start Invisalign with them in May 2025 and paid my quoted amount ($2411) in full the day treatment started. To my surprise, in April 2026 I received a call that my claim had been denied by my insurance but they would help me out and file another claim that would hopefully be approved by Delta Dental but if that claim was denied, they would file an appeal for me. I got a text on May 11, 2026 that I had an outstanding balance that amounted to ~50% ($1167) of what I originally paid at the start of my treatment so I called to ask what happened and Emily at the front desk told that they filed an appeal for my denied claim but couldn't answer any insurance or billing questions due to the fact that their billing department is not done "in house" so they would have to relay all my questions to a separate service. The office also refused to give me any contact information for their billing department so I'm forced to play telephone with the office and their billing department but also said they could not tell me why my claims had been denied. I was, however, told that my benefits for ortho had been maxed out. I called my insurance immediately after that initial call and they told me that, no, my claim was not denied due to my coverage being maxxed out (it has not been at that point) but because there were errors with the billing information on the claims that were submitted. The insurance rep also notified me that they had no appeal on file, so either there is some technical issue on the insurance side or the office lied about filing an appeal for that 2nd denied claim. The insurance rep told me it was an easy fix and that the office's billing department just need to update that billing info, resubmit, and it should be approved. From May until August of this year, I've called 6 times asking for updates and relaying the message that all they have to do is update their incorrect billing info and resubmit the claim and it should be approved. Everytime I call, I'm met with "The claim was already filed and denied twice so there's not much we can do, but we'll ask the billing department again." I've tried asking for the practice manager and have been told "she's not at her desk but she will call you later" and I never receive that call. All in all, be wary of this place. Since their billing is not done in house, no one at the office can answer specific billing questions and refuse to give contact info for that billing office so you're forced to play telephone with them and their billing department if you ever have an insurance issue.

Definition of DISHONEST dentistry!!! Went for an initial exam and cleaning as I just moved to SD…read more No prior dental issues. They made me do a Cone beam CT as part of my "routine xrays"; didn't even realize it was a CT until afterwards and that I'd been exposed to unnecessary radiation. Then they tell my I have deep gum pockets and need deep cleaning in all 4 quadrants; they bring in their sales person to try to convince me to buy their own insurance plan and tell me how much I'd save. Mind you, I had been having routine dental exams and never was told I had any gum pocket issues. Super suspicious, I told them I'd think about it since it was thousands of dollars and just wanted a general cleaning today. They made a big fuss and made me sign papers saying I was "going against clinical advice". Proceeded to give me the quickest and most superficial cleaning of my life. After the fact, I got a second opinion from my friend who is a Navy dentist. He checked my pockets and said they were ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUES! And he told me good thing I didn't fall for their scam. And he scoffed when he heard they made me do a CB CT for absolutely no good reason. To add insult to injury, I find out later that Mission Valley Dentists tried to bill my medical insurance for a radiology read of the CT scan. Again totally unnecessary and suspicious! Was some random radiologist in SD - not even at their location. When I reached out to ask what that was they simply stated "oh we just bill the insurance and if it's not covered, don't worry, you won't have to pay for it". SUSPICIOUS. If you're looking for a corporate dentistry place that doesn't actually care about your health and looks at you like a cash cow, congrats you found it!! They should be ashamed, because they're contributing to medical mistrust.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Rahbar and the entire team at Dentique! From start to…read morefinish, my experience was absolutely incredible. Dr. Rahbar, Brandy, and the rest of the staff were so kind, welcoming, and professional throughout the entire process. Communication was amazing every step of the way, and they always made sure I felt comfortable, informed, and confident in every decision. Before coming to Dentique, I had always been a little insecure about my smile. My teeth had some crookedness, and one of my teeth sat noticeably higher than the others. I decided to get 16 veneers, eight on the top and eight on the bottom, and I truly could not be happier with my decision! One of my favorite parts of the experience was how involved I got to be in creating my perfect smile. From choosing the exact color and shading of my veneers to making adjustments to my gumline, Dr. Rahbar really took the time to perfect every little detail. Nothing ever felt rushed, and she genuinely cared about making sure my smile was exactly how I wanted it. Her attention to detail was incredible, and I really appreciated how much thought and effort went into making everything look beautiful and natural. Another thing that really stood out to me was how accommodating and accessible the entire team was throughout the process. They always made it clear that if I ever experienced any discomfort, had concerns, or simply wanted something checked, I was more than welcome to come in, even first thing in the morning. Thankfully, I never had any major issues, but knowing they were always willing to make time for me gave me so much peace of mind. I never felt like I was bothering them or asking too many questions, which made the entire experience even better. I genuinely could not be happier with my results. Dr. Rahbar completely transformed my smile and gave me a level of confidence I didn't have before. I am beyond grateful to her, Brandy, and everyone at Dentique for being so patient, attentive, and caring throughout the entire journey. Getting veneers was a big decision, and I am so happy I trusted Dentique with my smile. I would recommend them a thousand times over to anyone considering veneers or looking to feel more confident in their smile!
