Photo of my new smile after Invisalign, whitening and bridge to fix missing tooth. Excellent job!

Contemporary Dentistry is the best dentist I have ever been to. They are friendly, accommodating and just all around a pleasure to visit. I have had many bad experiences in the past. But because of Contemporary Dentistry I have overcome my fear of going to the dentist. My smile looks amazing and I am so grateful!

I am so glad I came to this dentist office for a teeth cleaning! Getting your teeth cleaned every six or so months is very important and I was definitely needing one! I called in to make an appointment and the girl on the phone was very friendly. It was fast, simple, and easy to book the appointment. I was scheduled for the following week and I was told on what I needed to bring. The office itself is located in a much bigger plaza with other surrounding business. I did have a hard time finding the office since I did not see a business sign. I finally found the office and didn't realize that I had been driving passed it the whole time. (The office is located on the side of the plaza closer to Houston street behind another business.) We walked in and the receptionist greeted us very friendly and she then handed me a couple forms to fill out. I didn't wait too long after turning in my forms to get called into back, and she even showed me around the office as well. My dental hygienist was the BEST. She WAS SO NICE. She did everything from my X-rays, to my periodontal exam, to even my cleaning. She made me feel comfortable and answered any questions that I had. I did get to see Dr. Kathy once my cleaning was all done and she was also very friendly! Everyone that I was able to interact with on my dental visit was beyond friendly! These ladies seem to have a passion for what their doing and it shows! I am so glad I picked this dentist office and I'm actually looking forward for my next visit in 6 months!

After years of my dentist telling me I need to get grafting surgery due…read moreto recession (from orthodontia, genetics, excessive brushing, etc.), I finally decided to go in for a consultation. I actually decided on this office due to a positive Yelp review from Meg K. and was happy to learn my insurance was accepted as well. The consultation was very informative and I didn't feel pressured into doing more than needed for the grafting, so I decided to move forward in getting my surgery done by Dr. Tandy. Last Friday I had my first of two rounds of grafting done and it went better than I anticipated. The staff here is just great. Very professional, understanding, fun, and helpful. Dr. Tandy, Christie, and Sadia are all amazing and I am actually excited to see them soon for my next round. Reasons why this office is wonderful: 1. You get this awesome complimentary Shea Butter Lip Balm which appears to be custom made by Dr. Tandy. 2. The Relaxation Room is so cool! There is an awesome massage chair, tranquil music, and even blankets to keep you relaxed prior to surgery. 3. The staff is so much fun! While still completely professional, I can't stop laughing while I am visiting due to all of their jokes :) 4. Dr. Tandy and her team take their time in explaining each detail and really take into consideration all medical history prior to scheduling surgery to make sure nothing conflicts. They called before each session to make sure that we were all on the same page. I love their thoroughness! 5. They are very understanding in rescheduling. I had an unrelated hospitalization and was unable to make my original scheduled grafting surgery. They made sure I was in good health prior to moving forward with rescheduling. I highly recommend Dr. Tandy and her staff to anyone who needs a periodontist!

Dr.Tandy and Carol are HILARIOUS!! The whole office has this very relaxing vibe to it so you totally feel comfortable as soon as you walk right in...but it gets better...within the relaxing office there is a relax room to help calm you down for your surgery....I have never used it, but I peeked in and you just want to fall asleep in there! After your operation (that pretty much feels like a teeth cleaning), you get this warm towel to wipe your mouth off with that smells like fresh squeezed lemons! Its the little things people...when you have just had skin grafted to your gum a nice lemon towel makes your face feel fresh! :) HAHA im serious! Dr. Tandy is the coolest and I would recommend going here over ANYWHERE else for an oral surgeon!!

They ensured that they could. I followed up via phone the same day to again ensure that we were on the same page and that they could provide the correct service for my daughter who is experiencing tooth pain. They again stated that they could and scheduled the appointment. They call me the day of the appointment, a week later, to inform me that they made a mistake and cannot provide what my daughter needs. They said that all they can do is take x-rays and provide referrals. I already have the x-rays and THEY were the referral. Also, how is that service providing my daughter will any type of pain relief that we discussed via email and via phone prior. Their exact words were that "no one is perfect" and that there "is nothing they can do about it"! Mind you this is after I have already requested time off work and have been telling my daughter for a week to just hold in there because the dentist would be seeing her soon. ABSOLUTE IDIOTS!!!! AVOID THEIR STUPIDITY AT ALL COSTS.

Dr. Johnston performed my implant extraction procedure. Although the process took longer than…read moreexpected, his skills and expertise were excellent. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the surgery, which I really appreciated. The surgery was successful, and I am very pleased with the outcome.

I understand that if I can't make an appointment, I should call to cancel. I followed the procedure…read moreand left messages on both Thursday and Friday to cancel my Monday appointment. I called 96 hours in advance, but when I spoke to the front desk, I was met with rude behavior. The receptionist asked, "So, what are you going to do, pay or not?" and questioned why I couldn't make the appointment. Now, as I'm writing this review, someone from the office called me, clearly upset that I left negative feedback. She was just as rude as the front desk staff. She called me on my cell, but I couldn't answer because I was at work. Then, she proceeded to call my workplace and harass me, attempting to bribe me into taking down my reviews. When I explained that I left messages on Thursday and Friday, she said those days "don't count," and I was left frustrated by the confusing and unclear policies. It's troubling that they seem to feel it's acceptable to treat customers poorly but will go to great lengths to harass them if they leave an honest review. If I had called the day of my appointment, I would've understood a cancellation fee, but I gave plenty of notice. The way I've been treated, including being harassed at work, is completely unacceptable. Please be cautious when considering this place. Don't let poor treatment slide just because of a polished online presence.

They have no solution except to go back to the endodontist that I referred from. It seems like it was a circle of referring which could maybe have been solved with just an endo to do the work, or pulling the tooth, vs an expensive procedure which was done poorly. It should not have been done at all unless it could provide 100 pain relief. I did have one extra cleaning with him which was done well but it won't take care of the problem that Dr. Nelson behind. It's very expensive to go around and get a second or third opinion on some imperfect work and asking if they could redo this work. I can't recommend coming here since the results were leaving me in pain for the rest of my life having to deal with cleaning an area that is still open having to take pain medication the rest of my life for work that wasn't done well. Maybe the next patient will get their work done correctly but mine was not. My dr. was Dr. Nelson, so other doctors in the practice might do better work but I would stay away from this place specifically Dr. Nelson. I cannot recommend him due to His poor work that left me in ongoing pain, that he still charged me full Price for.

We moved to Scottsdale about six or seven years ago. My wife did a ton of research before picking a…read moredentist and she chose S&L with Dr. David Ngo. I went with a different place at first because it was closer to where we were living. Well, that turned out to be a mistake. I ended up having a bad experience there and finally switched to S&L. Dr. Ngo and his team fixed everything the other dentist had messed up. Right away I knew my wife had been right all along. I've been going to S&L for four years now and they really are the best dental office I've ever been to. Dr. Ngo has removed all my old metal fillings and replaced them with modern ones, plus he's done a couple of crowns for me. Everything looks and feels great. My wife has also been extremely happy with all the work he's done for her too. I'm almost 55 and I've seen a bunch of top-rated, highly recommended dentists over the years, both here in the US and a couple in Mexico. Nothing else comes close. One thing I have to mention is how good Dr. Ngo is with people who hate dental visits or get nervous about pain. His work is excellent, but it's the way he takes care of you that makes the biggest difference. For example, the way he does Novocaine shots is unbelievable. You barely feel it at all. Every dentist out there should learn his technique. With all that said, I do think the front office experience could be better. If the customer service up front matched Dr. David's clearly caring vibe, it would be 100% perfect. If you're looking for a truly professional dentist who gives five-star care and service, this is the place. Dr. David Ngo at S&L is the only one I would recommend without any hesitation.

I chose this dentist because of all the amazing reviews, and so I thought I'd detail my experience…read morebecause it wasn't as perfect as the reviews make it seem. They seem very knowledgable and seem to know what they're doing when it comes to dentistry, but my concerns are more in the administration side of things. I changed jobs earlier this year and got new insurance with a common major insurance provider, and I needed to get a procedure done. I asked them what the procedure would cost and they gave me a quote, which was already expensive, and I paid that at the time of service. However, when I came in for a routine cleaning 6 months later, they said the insurance "didn't pay as much as they thought" and stuck me with MORE THAN DOUBLE their original quote. I looked into the insurance claim and called the insurance company myself, and the insurance company paid exactly what was according to their billing schedule. There were no surprises. I think the office knew (or should have known, because they're the professionals and this is what they do) that this would happen, and they dishonestly gave me a lower quote, did the service, and then stuck me with the even more expensive bill (but to their credit, they did give me a lower price than what they billed to insurance, but it was still VERY expensive that I was not prepared for). Additionally, I distinctly recall the procedure treated four teeth, but then on the bill and insurance claim, they say they treated six. Unfortunately, I don't really know how to argue this, especially because it happened so long ago. I suspect they didn't contact me about this issue earlier for this exact reason. Again, dishonest. Another concern with this dentist is that it's unprofessional that they use Zelle to get around credit/debit card transaction fees. Every merchant has to deal with card transaction fees, they shouldn't be up-charging that cost and they shouldn't be using Zelle, which is supposed to just be a peer-to-peer payment network. Lastly, as much as I love dogs, I don't think it's hygienic that they keep a dog in their office. In all, I started off loving this dentist, and very disappointed that they turned out to be this unprofessional and dishonest. I'm sad I'll have to go elsewhere from now on.
