I went on their website to ask if they accepted my insurance and they got back with me right away to set up an appointment. Dr Pollard and his staff are all so friendly and informative. After lockdown restrictions lifted, the whole staff wore face masks and followed a thorough procedure to make sure everyone coming in was healthy and felt safe. If you're new Ames/ISU resident looking for a place to get a checkup/cleaning, I recommend Pollard.

Dr Hampton pulled one of his teeth and left a section of root in his gum causing infection and pain until the root finally worked it's way out of the gum. In the mean time, Dr Hampton prescribed several antibiotics that really messed up Larry's digestive system so he still has chronic diarrhea. I generally just go for cleaning every 6 months and although I have some problems I'm hesitant to share and get the care I need. The hygienist doesn't clean the front of my teeth at all. Apparently I am troublesome and in need of punishment for my very existence. I guess we need a new dentist.

I have a gold crown. After my biopsy, my pain was unbearable. If anyone has had a toothache, they understand the pain can make one crazy. I called Northgrand dental to see if they would remove the gold crown, fill any cavities and put a temporary crown on my tooth. I didn'T want to make future plans at this time. While the receptionist was polite, her concern was getting paid and the next step, and the next step and the next step. I just wanted this crown removed to see if the pain would stop, I was thinking I would make future plans after I had this done. Possibly remove other crowns and have them replaced. I just wanted to take things one step at a time. She decided to put me on hold to speak to the dentist. No one ever came back on the phone. I hung up, waited a few minutes and called back. it went to voicemail.That was my one and only experience with Northgrand Dental.

I was worried to go to the dentist because I was scared I would be shamed for not keeping up with regular dental appointments. What I found in this office surprised me. Not only was I treated gently and with respect, they offered me a flexible payment plan to help with the financials. Even with good insurance now, paying for dental procedures can be pricey. In the past year, I've found Dr. Sonya and her team to be nothing short of amazing. They know me as a patient and as a person.

If you loathe the dentist, go to Dr. Cook. She takes a lot of time to walk you step-by-step through what is happening and what it will feel like. You'll always know what is coming. The only drawback is that she is not in any of the major dental insurance networks, which means you'll have to pay up front and wait for a reimbursement check. That's peanuts to me because Dr. Cook and her staff do exceptional work. I can't say enough about this superb small town dentist.

Well, that wasn't the case at all. I was walking out on my second appointment (out of three that I needed for a mouth guard). As I checked out, the receptionist informed me that I owed around $200 for my last two appointments, one being from when I was in high school and wasn't even paying my own dental bills. No one quoted me anything at those appointments. Wouldn't that send the message that I don't owe anything because of my insurance? I sat and cried in my car afterwards because I'm a college student and don't have extra to spend. I called to ask about it before my third appointment because I have not been quoted anything for my mouth guard at this point. The people in the office couldn't tell me what my bill was because there is only one person that can do that and they weren't in. Upon finally getting my mouth guard, I now owe around $500 and again, was not told how much it would cost in advance. Isn't that important to tell a patient before getting something done? I'm disappointed because they have always been great as a dental office. But, now I almost feel cheated for the lack of communication about what appointments and procedures cost and what will and won't come out of my insurance.

I went in to get a filling drilled out and a new one put in and I was numbed 3 separate occasions throughout the service.

My jaw and nerves were shot for more than a week from just a routine filling. After the fact when the bill came it was way over what we discussed and they admit that the bill they sent was wrong.
