Gilbert Smiles - About two weeks ago this happened - General Dentistry Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

See all

Dr Swain is absolutely an amazing dentist. He was so kind and made me feel at ease(I had not been to the dentist in awhile). He replacement a few of my old feelings and fixed my chipped front tooth and did a beautiful job A big shout out to his amazing staff as well from the front desk, to the Xray tech, and to the amazing hygienist, you all did a fantastic job! I also appreciate all of the great reviews left on Dr Swain's behalf they really helped me feel good about choosing to Gilbert Smiles for my dental work read more

I have never felt more attacked and uncomfortable by a grown man. I am a younger women and was respectfully letting Dr. Swain know that I did not have extra money for anything other than what my appointment was for. He was not happy that I did not want any other work done. Dr. Swain raised his voice and told me to get the f out. As a women, I was distraught, as a human being, let's do better. The ladies at the front were wonderful though! read more

Been going here for 10 years. For the first time in my life, I love going to the dentist!

Most amazing staff ever! Everyone from the person on the phone to make appointments, the front office, and all back office staff are friendly, gentle, and really good at what they do. They ARE the BEST! Dr. Swain is the best dentist I have ever been to and will never change. He treated me like family and genuinely concerned about my experience. I have always been afraid of going to the dentist, but not anymore. He is a true gem! read more

Have been going to see Dr. Swain, Stacy and team for a good number of years. Gilbert Smiles is the best of the best in Dentistry. Awesome technical expertise, customer service, and they work closely with my Healthcare provider. Definitely would recommend. In fact, my Mother now goes here. read more

Dr. Swain did a deep filling for me couple months ago. That teeth has been hurting since then. I went to see him 2 times to check what's going on. He told me that the only thing I could do is to wait for my teeth to settle after he did exams to make sure the teeth is not dying. I finally checked with another dentist and did X-ray on that teeth. What we found was that the filling did not completely cover my teeth and some of my nerves are exposed! If I leave that teeth alone, cavity will eventually develop due to the empty pocket on that teeth. After I get the new filling done, all the pain I complained about is gone. Note: I may have to do a root canal on that teeth if the teeth does not heal well. The filling is very close to my nerve and my teeth is quite traumatized cuz of the fillings. I understand that the filling for that teeth is hard to do. What I am mad about is that after I complain about my pain, Dr. Swain did not try to investigate further but only to tell me to wait for my teeth to settle. He could easily figure out the why by doing a simple X-ray. And he may be able to fix the problem. I thought a lot if I should leave this review. Dr. Swain is generally patient and is always willing to explain things to me. He is honest in what needs to be done with the teeth. I think he treats his patients well and is quite diligent. I like his staff and his office. Though, I want to share my experience with you all. If your gut feeling tells you something is wrong, please investigate further. It is our own teeth that's hurting! Always get a second opinion if you felt that something is definitely wrong. read more

My wife and I scheduled and got options for plans. Her teeth were far better than mine. But Dr. McDougal was very knowledgeable and gave me the best information and plan to get my teeth back to what they are supposed to do. Front office was incredible all around excited to go back to the dentist for the first time of my life read more

You won't find a better Dentist or staff! I worked as a dental office manager for 5 years so I am very familiar with dentistry. We've been going to Gilbert Smiles for 2 years now am I will never go anywhere else! Friendly, clean, and knowledgeable! Best cleaning I have ever had and I despise getting my teeth cleaned. Give Gilbert Smiles a try, I promise you will not be dissatisfied! read more

Absolutely a top notch group! From the start, they are very friendly, knowledgeable and professional! The staff and Dr. Swain take there time to discuss things with no rush which to me is great! My family and I will be back for years to come. read more

Again Dr Swain making excuses. His office has given me estimates that are almost always low...and if there is a change...they tell you after the work is done so your screwed. Not ethical in my book...but Dr. Swain office staff is very unknowledgable about insurance and guess who pay's the balance if they are wrong...You do! Just say No! And find an ethical provider...just my opinion...for what it's worth. read more

This is the worst dentist office I have ever been to. The staff is so unknowldegeable. I have dental insurance and before they complete any service they give you a price statement so you know what will be out of pocket and what is covered. I was taken back for a routine cleaning and afterwards they claimed they had to do extra cleaning and I had to pay almost $80 out of pocket for no reason that I never consented to. My husband also ended up with the same problem except he cost $80 per side for what should be no cost to us twice a year with our coverage. Then we were given quotes for the three cavities I had, ended up $375 out of pocket to start and was told that would be all. Then I get a collection letter from them saying I owed $695 more because it turns out my insurance doesn't cover the materials he uses! I never got a choice! Save your money, find a different dentist. read more

Dr Swain did a great job an was painless!!!! The entire office is so friendly an made Sure I was comfortable an had everything I Needed. They are the best. I highly recommend Dr Swains office! read more

Dr. Swain Does a great job and always has time to listen and answer any questions you have. His staff is always happy and makes going to the dentist a positive experience! read more

I have been putting off getting my teeth cleaned for 5 years. If you have a fear of dentists, and office procedures just ask for Kris with a K to clean your teeth and all will be good. She is super good at making you feel calm and less anxious. read more

Hands down best dentist ever! Dr. Swain and his employees are truly a breath of fresh air. I have been to several different dentists that had left me with dread for dental visits. That was until I found Dr. Swain, he makes every visit a great experience. I am no longer fearful of going to the dentist after finding Gilbert Smiles. The receptionists are kind, and the assistants are extremely personable. Unlike previous dentists, Dr. Swain does not care how long it will take or what will make his the most money. He provides honest recommendations and he will take his time to achieve perfection. I cannot say anything but good things about this office! :) read more

I have nothing negative to say about this dentist office. I scheduled for a cleaning they were polite and attentive. They offered me to get all my new patient paperwork filled out before my my actual appointment. I just printed it off their website and completed it so I didn't have to sit and wait long to be brought back. The wait wasn't long at all and complimentary water is always nice to have. My hygienist Stacy was really sweet she and I had nice conversation and she gave me the remote to choose what channel I wanted to watch or listen to while she went to work. My favorite part was getting to choose the flavor of my polish. The Cinnamon flavor was really tasty and I don't regret getting it. Overall a very easy going first visit. The first of many visits I will be back.. looks like I need my wisdom teeth removed. I've been trying to avoid it for awhile, but if im going to want that Invisaline then I need more room in my tiny mouth read more

My procedure is complete! After insurance, it was $167 instead of the over $5,000 quoted by the other dentist. Dr. Swain even called to see if Red Mountain took care of me! Gilbert Smiles is definitely my dentist practice from now on! read more

I moved to AZ 7 years ago and it took me 5 years to find a good dentist. I hated all of them until I found Gilbert Smiles. Dr. Swain is very personable and knowledgable. Also, I never liked going to the dentist because it hurt! Not anymore..... I am so glad I discovered Gilbert Smiles. Their office is state of the art as well, and always clean. I highly recommend Gilbert Smiles. read more

My boyfriend and I have been going to Dr. Swain for years and enjoy the staff and personal attention we receive from Dr. Swain. He knows his craft and exceeds our expectations. We have had lots of dental work and cleanings done in his office and we always leave knowing we received the best. read more

This is a follow up to my original review of Gilbert Smiles. Dr. Swain personally called me to discuss the situation with billing. I appreciated him reaching out to listen and take care of the issues. Dr Swain is a fantastic dentist, and I always felt comfortable with his diagnosis and treatment. If it weren't for the billing issues with the staff, I would still be a patient there. Hopefully my experience will be a learning experience for them. read more

I've been treated by Dr. Swain since 2008. I was referred to him because my dental issues required the very best in his profession. I cannot praise him and his staff enough. As a senior citizen, I've been to over a dozen, supposedly highly qualified dental experts, and found that their dental treatment was inadequate or poor quality. Dr. Swain is unbelievably honest, open, caring, and a perfectionist. Upon my first visit he took lots of time to examine my dental issues and then explained in detail what he recommended and what my options would be. He tells it like it is. He said my treatment will take some time and will be one of the most challenging he has tackled. He was very confident I would be very pleased with the outcome. Once we decided on the treatment plan that would save me from having dentures, he went to work diligently collaborating with Dr. Brinks Austin for my 5 dental implants, and Dr. Swain's dental lab for the careful design and construction of my two bridges. Dr. Austin and staff were as professional and caring as Dr. Swain's. Dr. Austin completed my dental implants absolutely painlessly! During the time my implants were healing, Dr. Swain frequently monitored my progress and kept me smiling and as comfortable as possible with a temporary partial. After about 12 months, Dr. Austin said my implants were ready for Dr. Swain to attach my two permanent bridges. I was so surprised at how well the entire restoration turned out and how incredibly wonderful it felt to be able to chew prime rib and bite into an apple. I felt so good about smiling big again. Dr. Swain, Mary, and the staff are by far the most friendly, professional and knowledge dental office I have ever experienced. Sarah, my dental hygienist, who has been cleaning my teeth 2 or 3 times a year for the past 5 years, is absolutely wonderful. Not only is she a real sweetheart, she is thorough, knowledgeable and warm. Sarah is the most gentle hygienist I have ever experienced. If you want honest, high quality, and professional dental care, I highly recommend you visit Gilbert Smiles, and let Dr. John Swain's incredible expertise and caring staff make you smile. My comments above do not fully express and convey my sincere gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Swain and Gilbert Smiles. read more

I love this place! They are genuinely nice and helpful. They answer my questions without even having me mention them. They take great care of their patients, and their staff is always bubbly, funny, and authentic. Best dentist ever! read more

Office staff is incompetent. They moved my 9am appointment to 2pm without notifying me. I canceled my appointment and did not reschedule.

Pros: Dr. Swain is an honest dentist. No hidden costs and in most cases he'll be able to save you money. Cons: Dr. Swain allows his assistants to do majority of the work. In between my husband and me, he did 3 crowns. 2 of them had to be replaced as his assistants messed it up. One he personally did from beginning to end (had to actually tell him that upfront and he made AN EXCEPTION) and that one turned out great. That being said, Dr. Swain is indeed a good dentist, however he's not the one working on you most of the times. And even when he comes to check and finish in the end, the damage has already been done. read more

Dr. Swain is awesome and love all of his staff. Always leave the office happy and confident in my smile

John Swain a great dentist, he always takes the time to answer questions and give complete details of work needing done. The best part he lets you know what work can wait so you're not hit with everything at once. The rest of the staff is so friendly and always checking to make sure you're comfortable by going the extra mile. Anyone looking for a great dentist, very clean friendly office this is the place you need to go. read more

I love this office! They are friendly and great at their jobs. I had to go away for a few years due to a few insurance coverage but I'm so glad to be back. They even remembered me. They tell me exactly what I need without trying to recommend things I don't. I would tell anyone to go here. read more

Dr. Swain and his staff are fantastic. They do work when it needs to be done, not because they can make a buck. Dr. Swain is meticulous in the work he does, like the crown I had done a few months back. I also appreciated how the staff went out of their way to expedite the process. I was told my permanent crown would be done in 10 days, but was delighted to get a call after less than a week telling me it was ready and they had time that day to get the thing in. Good service, nice folks, would recommend to a friend. read more

Our family of 6 have been patients for over 10 years and couldn't be happier! Dr. Swain and staff are true professionals who ENJOY what they do! Our family has had everything from cleanings to cavities to major restoration work...every time we leave completely satisfied. Best dentist ever! read more
