I found Riverstone when I was searching for a mercury-free dentist in Red Deer. Their web site…read morementions the concept of Holistic Dentistry: Dentistry should do no harm, and dentists must look at the mouth, teeth, gums and jaws as integral parts of a larger, whole-body system. The health and structural integrity of the mouth both influence and are influenced by everything else going on in the body. Health professionals tend to focus on their area of expertise rather than looking at the body as a whole. Holistic Dentistry looks at the mouth and teeth as they integrate with the rest of the body. Along with being mercury and fluoride free, Riverstone Dental also uses cutting edge technology such as digital X-rays that use a fraction of the radiation as traditional x-ray equipment as well as ozone infused water as part of cleaning and other procedures. Riverstone staff are very friendly and I was delighted to be able to get a next day appointment for a cleaning and general check-up. I had made an in-person visit because of a tooth that was hurting quite badly. Erika handled my cleaning. I have some areas that are very sensitive and she was awesome. Most dental cleanings are quite uncomfortable for me and this is the most comfortable I've been with a cleaning in a very long time. Dr. Price is very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained what was going on along with treatment options in a manner that was simple and easy to understand.

I have decades of history with the "wrong" dentists to the point, I was terrified to even call when…read moremy teeth needed care. I have had to take medications pre-dental appointment to calm my anxiety and stopped that strategy after one incident when I found out I actually drove a car and went to work while under the influence of tranquilizers. I went to one dental clinic in Lacombe, and that was just another sorry episode that only confirmed my fears about dentists. Until my daughter-in-law and son took their family to Aurora. I was so fortunate that my first experience was with Dr. Lowry. The whole clinic, receptionists, assistants and Dr. Lowry, were consistently reassuring me, and comforting me in the first visit - and that was only an examination. My second visit involved two difficult extractions - I felt barely a pinch and the experience was almost cathartic, in terms of my almost lifelong fear of dentists. I just finished my third visit, another extraction - of an infected molar - again.... nothing but reassurance and comfort. I am so confident in Dr. Lowry's ability to handle any dental procedure, especially to those who are terrified of dentists. Thank you so much Dr. Lowry & staff.

Current review: 2025 · 2* Original review: Over 14 years…read moreago. · 5* Do you know those upscale restaurants where the waitstaff create a non-intrusive, seamless dining experience? Versus places where some of the waitstaff are "so attentive" they're announcing EVERY arrival to the table, asking how everything is every two minutes? And you spend more time and effort attending to THEIR "service" versus why you came to the restaurant; to enjoy the LIVING of life? Post new management, and more specifically post pandemic, Saby Dental has shifted from warm personal interactions & the cheeky "marketing" of a warm cookie after each appointment to incessant reminder emails, texts, & calls, repeated requests for a review, and recommending seemingly excessive visits. (No dental problems, decreased build up, yet recommending I come in for cleanings 4 times a year!) I get that everyone runs their business differently, and even that some customers will appreciate these methods. To me, it feels more like I have to manage their way of doing business rather than them coming alongside me, living life. I manage my side of the fence by accommodating my anxieties and sensory challenges of going to the dentist. Now, I also need to manage Saby Dental within & beyond the four walls of their business, since they don't seem to consider how they impose on clients. It's more labour than I'm willing to put in for a business. No, I will not be your outsourced marketing team of 1, by writing you a review after every visit. No, you can no longer reach me by phone, text, or email. You lost that ability, when you didn't respect multiple requests to interact on my terms. I don't want to manage your incessant "give us more business" methods dressed up as "friendly reminders". (The cheeky warm cookie was far more effective.) I want to be respected as a responsible adult, not infantalized or prodded to do your labour (Even considering to engage or ignore is unsolicited labour I didn't consent to). I don't want to manage your doubling down, when you slip past my blocks via new email addresses and phone numbers. (When I haven't been back for a few years!) I don't want to recognize or feel like I'm being funneled into and down your business practices pipeline before, during, and after an appointment. Just see clients as fully human instead of business model pawns. I've communicated directly (multiple interactions) & indirectly (blocking, withdrawing business). It's still not enough. So, let's try this. I'll use a language that might have more significance to Saby Dental, and leave a negative review. I not only gave them 5*, back in the day, I told everyone, friend/stranger, how amazing Saby Dental was at every level of care and service. Now, I tell no one. Saby Dental was my dentist for roughly 20 years. While I've received quality cleanings & checks under Dr. Sandhu's management, I feel more like I'm serving Saby Dental than Saby Dental is serving me. Increasing my visits for no reason? Increasing all communications in frequency, type, & method? Requiring more forms of labour from me to manage your choices? Shifting from 'fellow human' to 'another number' mentality? I'm moving on. Particularly, when going to the dentist already requires a lot of self-care, self-management, & personal accommodations, I don't manage what isn't mine.

His dental assistant and Hygienist are hands down the most amazing ladies I have ever met in my life. The receptionist has been extremely kind and patient with my numerous appointments as well.

She went back and ask dentist if they would charge me again and she came back on phone and told me they would not charge me but would have to charge the insurance company. Came to third appointment told dentist I wanted tooth pulled got really snide with me because he wanted to do a root canel and I was done with messing with tooth. Got tooth pulled. Went to front where receptionist said I owed $100.00 Denied what was agreed to on previous phone call tryed to say that she said she would talked to dendist and see put he decided to charge me so she out and out lied was not blaming her for anything until she lied about this. Whether she was pressured by the dentist to deny the agreement because he was mad about me refusing the root canal or shes part owner of this company doesent matter very little integrity Her I wont forget. As far as the 2nd dentest worst Ive ever had. we had our 1 son in before all this happend and every thing seemed ok now his teeth are starting to give trouble hence the decided review. at least they hadnt got to our second child yet and wont. By the way I noticed a lot of people going in and there insurance percentage. Example 80% pay more than 20% or100 % but still have to pay out of pocket. reason givin the insurane only pay this or that amount and its not enough. I Heard on news, Alberta is one of the most expensive in canada for dentestriry put they could at least try to do good qualty. Greed at its best. Note: 2nd tooth that was sufaced drilled twice. I did not have them touch as it only hurts a little bit now and did not wont them to make it worse again also I follwed all Instuction on Eating, Drinking or Smoking after dental work. Sorry for long review but this place was awfull and dentist was very arogant.
