From start to finish, everything was smooth, comfortable, and far easier than I ever imagined. I had been putting off treatment for years because of anxiety, but opting for sedation was truly a game-changer. The team explained every step clearly, the entire procedure was quick and completely painless. It felt like I closed my eyes and woke up to a new smile. The implants themselves look and feel incredibly natural--like I have my real teeth back again. I can finally smile with confidence, eat comfortably, and not worry about my dental health holding me back. Healing was straightforward, the aftercare instructions were simple, and the results are nothing short of outstanding. If you're nervous about dental work or have been considering implants but are unsure, don't hesitate. Sedation dentistry made the experience painless and relaxing, and the implants have genuinely improved my quality of life. I wish I had done this sooner! Highly recommend!

I became a patient at Canyon Lakes Dental based on the excellent reviews here. It was great…read moreinitially, until my family and I started running into consistent issues. My whole family were patients, so this review comes from a couple of years of experience visiting them atleast twice a year times four. 1. When they call to confirm the appointment and you miss the call and call them back, they claimed each time to have not seen any missed calls, nor received any voice mails, nor any text messages sent to them requesting a reschedule. I have proof in my phone's call logs and text messages of having tried to contact them, yet they insist they never heard from me. If it's a tech issue, happening once or twice is understandable, not multiple times! 2. If you can't keep the routine cleaning appointment made 6 months in advance and speak with someone at the front desk, the office staff's routine response is that the next available appointment is 4 months out and they will put you on a waitlist. Their hygienists are always booked months out but if the hygienist can't come in when you have a scheduled appointment, you are expected to accommodate and they will have spots in a couple of weeks somehow. 3. I needed to ask the doc a question about keeping my dental appointment the following week after being prescribed certain meds earlier in the week for an emergent condition. I was told to wait till Tuesday for the doc to come in to answer the question, when the appointment was also on Tuesday. I was told there would be a charge if canceling an appointment on the same day, which is fair only if they can answer questions about whether I can be treated before the appointment day! 4. The reception area reeks of strong perfume/air freshener. When requested to unplug because it's triggering allergies for my daughter and a migraine for me, the response was the scent doesn't bother them. Good for them, but that's supposed to be a common waiting area shared with patients some of whom do mind the scent and have allergies and migraine issues. There seems to be a rotating door for dentists, we have seen the same person maybe twice in a row. Dr. Shilpa Chovatia, you and your dentist colleagues maybe excellent professionals but your front office experience and scheduling challenges leaves a lot to be desired. We will not be returning. EDITED TO ADD (April 7) I got a call from Jocelyn at the office offering to schedule me with Dr. Shilpi Chovatia for a specific time, if I didn't want to be on a cancellation waitlist. This is nice, but at this point, too late. I have had 3 appointments for different family members in the past month that needed to be rescheduled for different reasons, and we were told each time to wait months or get on their cancellation list. I am unwilling to deal with the extra administrative burden it puts on me to coordinate schedules for different family members with this practice and plan to find a more accommodating office where the office staff don't simply say "ok thank you" and hang up on me when I tell them I plan to find a different dentist because scheduling with them is so difficult.

When I first met Dr. Rega, I felt hopeful. I had already been through a long and painful dental process, and I thought I was finally nearing the finish line. He seemed confident and enthusiastic about helping me with the extractions and implants I needed. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out the way I had hoped. An implant he placed in 2023 looked fine at first, but later scans from two other dentists showed it had been positioned crookedly and too close to another tooth. When I brought this up, he dismissed their findings and reassured me that everything was fine. I wanted to believe him -- but the problems continued. During later visits, additional extractions and implants were placed, and again, the alignment was off. One implant was so close to another tooth that it made future dental work complicated. I've asked for a partial refund, but was told that since the work "functioned," even if it wasn't "textbook ideal," no refund would be given. After two months without any follow-up or accountability, I felt defeated and frustrated. I'm sharing this not out of anger, but in hopes of helping others avoid the same situation. If you're considering major dental work, please advocate for yourself. Ask for clear scans, second opinions, and full explanations before moving forward. I wish I had done so sooner.

I was treated with so much respect and dignity. They didn't shame me for having a lapse in dental coverage or poor coverage. The facility looks like a beautiful, luxe spa. Pro tip: their bathroom definitely has a fun vibe and sweet speakers if you need to take a moment to freshen up before you're called into your appointment! The out-of-pocket price for my exam, x-rays and extraction were quite fair. They are transparent about you're paying for and show you exactly what you'll pay before they perform anything. They also offer a discount/membership plan, but I haven't subscribed yet. Special thanks to Zach, who is super friendly and helped me understand everything before my extraction. Mina did a fantastic job helping me understand my x-rays before I met with Dr. Choi, who extracted my very angry tooth. Although no one enjoys such things, I must say that the whole experience far surpassed my expectations. Everyone I've met is so kind and helpful. A week after the extraction I was worried that I might have dry socket, (I didn't) but thankfully Dr. Choi was able to fit me in to follow-up and prescribe some antibiotic mouthwash to help with the pain and swelling as my gum healed. Weeks later, my extraction site is looking healthy and I have zero pain.

The appointment was scheduled weeks in advance, and I even called the office on the morning of the visit to reconfirm. On the day of the appointment, I pulled my daughter out of her flag football practice and we arrived before at 4:10 PM but we went in the office next door (which is also called Gale Ranch Family Dental, but the Orthodontic entrance is separate). To our surprise, the office was locked even though we could see people inside. We knocked repeatedly and waited outside in the heat for about 5 minutes before someone finally came out. Instead of apologizing, she rudely accused us of being late--even though it was only 4:13 PM and we had already been waiting outside. When I explained that the door was locked and we had been there, she changed her story and said the orthodontist had already left for the day. I reminded her that I had called earlier to confirm the appointment, but she dismissed me and claimed no new patient appointments were ever scheduled that late in the day. Her tone was condescending and unprofessional, as if we had inconvenienced her rather than the other way around. No one ever followed up to clarify the situation or to reschedule. If this is how they treat new patients, I can only imagine the experience after signing up. Extremely unprofessional and discourteous--I strongly recommend avoiding this office.
