The ultimate in quality, professionalism and care and concern/empathy…read more I was visiting Durango/Bayfield this past April of 2024. While on my visit, I began experiencing severe pain in an area of my molar. The very next day it got so bad, my face eyes and cheeks had swelled and I could no longer manage it. I phoned my Lakewood, CO Dentist, whom has taken care of our family for over 30 plus years. She said "don't drive home, I know a colleague of mine from Dental School who now practices in Durango and Bayfield, CO." I immediately called this office at 801 Florida and was quickly taken care of. The receptionist ( all of them ) were compassionate and got me in the very next day. Dr. Courtney Heinicke and his Assistant Kiffanie were outstanding. They listened and had great touch in caring for my emergency. After a quick X-Ray it was clearly visible that the tooth had two cracks in it and could not be saved. I was emotionally tearful because I didn't want to loose it. They carefully explained the process to me and answered all my questions. Dr. Heinicke numbed me up quickly and proficiently. I became much more comforted by their care. The tooth came out quickly and my body was finally eased. They assured me that they were also available 24/7 if I had any post issues..... A on call Doctor was just a phone call away. I did not need any post care, I followed up with my Dentist when I came home from my visit. Thank you to this fantastic staff, they" kinda saved my life that day."

The dentist said he would try to save my root canaled tooth.... and he did! And it was no easy feat. Hero dentistry at its best. Super happy with my experience and would highly recommend.

San Juan Smiles should be ashamed of their billing practices. I asked how much my 6-month cleaning…read moreappointment and first-time appointment with them would cost (so cleaning and x-rays because that's what they do for the first appointment). I was told they would bill my insurance and let me know, but it shouldn't be much. $188 was my portion, what?! for a routine appointment?! You charged me $173 for imaging, $116 for the oral evaluation, $119 for the cleaning, and $34 for flouride. You couldn't run my insurance and tell me what you expected the cost would be? I have never been to a dentist who couldn't tell me what to expect to pay with a basic service. I wanted a night guard. They only told me how much it would cost when I asked them when scheduling the follow-up appointment for the night guard: $1000! Were they going to let me schedule an appointment that would cost me $1000 out of pocket and not tell me? Yep. They didn't even think twice about it. Goodbye, San Juan. I will be taking my business and my husband's elsewhere for no other reason than transparency with billing. I will ensure everyone who asks for a dentist referral knows not to go to you. Out for the money grab because you can. Shame on you. This might be a small town, but your customers deserve more respect.
