Note, my insurance company paid $95 to them for the consult appt too and that will now go against my yearly max allowed. They confirmed that they took my insurance at that time. We scheduled the surgery for Sept 10th. They called a few weeks later stating the office would be closed that week, so we moved it to the following week on Sept 16. After insurance, the estimate was $129. Got a call today, less than 2 weeks before the procedure, and the new quote is abt $2000 beacuse they no longer take my insurance. There was no indication at the first appt or when we rescheduled the surgery that they were considering not taking my insurance any longer. It was explained that the doctor is giving me a $600 "disocunt" which gets me to the est $2k....like that is supposed to be a deal. I canceled the appt and am now starting over having wasted a $50 consult fee. Not sure why they would thinkI would not want to mazimize my benefit by going to an out of network doctor resulting in paying $2000 instead of $129. No words......Because insurance paid them $95 for the original appt, I will likely have to pay more even with an in-network provider, by $95, since that went against my yearly maximum. Very disappointed.

All of our questions were answered and the team followed up with us via phone call after surgery. While doing the 3D images for surgery Dr. Abt found that my son had an Odontoma. Dr. Abt did a wait and see approach and a year later we came back and the Odontoma has not grown and just appears to be sitting between the roots of two healthy adult teeth. His advice was to leave it alone because the risks outweigh the benefit. I highly recommend Dr. Abt, he is conservative in his approach and has a wonderful bedside manner and staff!

I waited about a month and a half before I submitted this review to see if I would change my…read moreopinion of what happened. I was referred to Dr. Abt by my normal dental office for a tooth extraction. I had to make an appointment for an evaluation by Dr. Abt before I had another appointment for the extraction. I'm glad I wasn't in pain to have to wait for the second appointment. The office appeared nice, with plush couches in the waiting room area. The staff (appeared to be all female from what I saw, besides Dr. Abt) was nice and efficient. When I questioned about having to come back for a second appointment, I was told Dr. Abt performs his procedures only in the mornings. So I returned two days later for the extraction. I will say that the procedure did go fast, as I arrived about fifteen minutes early to my appointment and walked back out about five minutes after the appointment time. The actual extraction of the tooth was done okay. The reason I will never return to Dr. Abt was the anesthesia part. He basically just jabbed the needle into me and it was quite painful. I know that the needle has to go in and that it will be painful, but I also know that other dentist will do things to minimize the "discomfort". I have had dentist apply a topical anesthetic to the gum before putting in the needle. I have had dentist put the needle in just a little and inject a little anesthetic before moving the needle further. And I have had a dentist jiggle, or something like that, to my jaw as they insert the needle. And, I have had some do multiple things like that to make the experience more tolerable. Not like Dr. Abt, who just seemed to put the needle in as far as he could to get it done with.

My husband took the day off from work to drive me home from my surgery. I was to have 3 molar extractions with sedation. After being in the exam for 45 minutes, Sorensen enters the room, lays me back, looks in my mouth and says "yup I agree with your dentist, these need to come out, so my staff will assist with the appointment." And he leaves the room. We were stunned, what just happened. The the DA says "Oh this was your consult, when do you want to come in?" We were pissed, husband missed a day at work, I had my whole next couple of days ready for my recovery. ********May 11th, 2026************* We arrive at appt, I go brush my teeth, they call me back. Made me swish peroxide and then medicated mouth wash. Sorensen comes in, asks if I'm ready. Barely scrapes my mouth with topical, more got on my tongue than actual gums. Then he picks up the needle and just shoves it in my mouth. I screamed, so he goes deeper. My leg was tapping so bad from the pain. Then he does it again, the more I screamed and jerked, the harder he did it. I was crying so bad, tears would not stop coming out, I was shaking from my lower jaw all the way to my toes. My poor husband was shocked to see how aggressive he was and not bat an eye. The DA was explaining it was normal to have the shakes, and tears due to anxiety, adrenaline and medication I sat there in the chair for 25 minutes crying, moaning and uncontrollably shaking. DA gives me a blanket and said I did good. Then Sorensen comes in and says "Ok, you need to wait in the lobby for your wife, aobut 15 minutes." Husband was shocked and they showed him the way out. Sorensen very aggressively starts to pull my lower left tooth out. I scream so loud, then he says "Open wider" (I have a small bite) and I say I cant, then he pushes down on my lower jaw, I hear and felt a pop and cracking, I jerk and scream, they held me down, then he does the 2nd tooth, easier its a top. But when it came to the bottome one, he had a door stop, for lack of a better word, in my mouth as he is pulling my jaw way down. I screamed and grabbed the arms to get up, I said "Ok, that's it, Im done". They push me back down and pull the third one. Then Sorensen says, "Ok all done, have a nice day" with a evil smirk and leaves the room. I leave crying and whimpering and swollen, with lockjaw and blood gushing everywhere. ********One Week Later**** Still cant open my jaw, its locked tight, cant eat solid foods, been in pain everyday all day.....never never go to MARK SORENSEN......not a good dentist.

UPDATE: this was YEARS ago. We've been to them dozens of times since & had dozens of procedures…read moreincluding wisdom teeth extraction for my 3 girls. The dentist who performed our procedures below hasn't been with this group for years. It's unfair to judge them on the below when they've gone above & beyond to correct the issues. We've been more than happy & cared for. They've gone above & beyond. I absolutely recommend them now. Both my daughter & I went there for some work. My daughter had extensive work, root canal included. After she was done she was understandably sore...the next day upon inspection I noticed a large hole in the roof of her mouth. I called & they said that it was normal. She did heal though with no issues. A couple weeks later I went in for a couple of fillings...the first that I've had in my life as I've always had very healthy teeth. All the fillings were on the same side. The next day I had a very large bruise on the same side as the work was done. After a week the bruise was still there...I called & went in to see them & was told that they couldn't see any punctures or anything wrong & apologized. I carried this bruise around for, literally, months covering it up with make-up. Even today you can still see a slight discoloration if the sun hits it right. There is no reason I would have a bruise this large due to simple fillings. Unfortunately this is the only place in town that our insurance will cover but I'm concerned about going back. The staff was great though & helpful but it doesn't seem to me that this much damage should be going on for procedures that happen all the time. I have a high profile job which & the questions & stares were very uncomfortable for some time.

Dentist from Hell in my experience. Very overpriced but comes across as very pleasant, professional…read moreand apt. There goes my confidence in my ability to judge people. I needed an implant, one tooth, $4800. He extracted the tooth, supposedly built up the bone etc and said come back in 3 months for the implant. An appointment was made. The dentist from hell recommended the appliance from hell to cover the hole in the front of my mouth. I believe that appliance, looks like something that cost $2.87, cost $800. It needed adjusting just about every day. Never should have been recommended without disclosing its problems. Further and shockingly, the staff expects you to do exactly as you are told. No deviation no back talk just follow the rules and you will be fine. I have the strange belief that the staff is there to serve me , not the reverse. Anyway, after the staff, a veritable Kindergarten, complained about me Montes fired me. He explained, very nicely, that he had to satisfy his staff because they were a team. That leaves patients in left field. Amazing, this guy has no idea how outrageous he is. Goes from bad to worse. I go to another dentist to get the work completed. The x-rays show that there is nowhere near enough bone in that area for an implant to be placed with the hope of any longevity. I notify Montes of this situation and demand a complete refund. He strings me along for a week or so. I finally file suit against him for malpractice, unprofessionalism,abuse and elder abuse. So unless you are sheep and wish to get fleeced or a law student seeking practice I would avoid this Kindergarten like the plague.

Conservative treatment, quality work, exceptional staff -- and take your kids here. That's the…read moreshort story. The long story is that I've been seeing Dr. Montes for 8 years. The first time I visited his office, I hadn't seen a dentist in a very long time. He worked me in for a humongous filling the same day and successfully avoided a root canal. Winning for my teeth and my wallet. I have seen him regularly since. He recommends conservative treatment -- if possible, take care of problems while they're small and avoid nasty root canals and crowns later on. He is honest about what needs to be done TODAY and what can wait (for me, for my financial/insurance situation to improve). He never makes me feel rushed and always has a smile. I was recently told by another dentist that I needed a crown. Dr. Montes gave me a free second opinion and solved the problem with a filling that was pain-free and absolutely seamless. My husband broke his front teeth in half when he was a kid. After twenty years, they had worn out a bit and Dr. Montes redid them with beautiful results. (And I feel weird saying beautiful either about teeth or my husband, but I did anyway). The office has at least four of the same wonderful, friendly & welcoming receptionists/front office persons/hygienists/dental assistants as 8 years ago. The new hygienist I saw this week is equally wonderful. They are not judgy when I don't floss enough or stain my teeth with coffee (As my sister says -- I provide the teeth, you just clean them in whatever state they're in) or when I need an empty room to breastfeed my kid before we leave. They are extremely efficient in scheduling appointments and dealing with insurance issues. And they make it fun to pop in every six months and update them on what's new with work, kids, etc. like you're visiting an old friend. Also GREAT FOR KIDS. Both of my kids (now 3 and 4) have been seeing Dr. Montes since their teeth grew in. First, for "happy visits" to get them used to the chair and later, for cleanings. I personally don't think the dentist should be disguised as a theme park, and this office is a great professional REALISTIC (hey, sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do) but kid-friendly choice. My three-year-old just had a cavity filled by Dr. Thompson that required no anesthesia. He did not shed a tear and the worst he could say was that "one thing tasted really bad." My insane mother-in-law couldn't even find anything negative to say about Dr. Thompson. Going to the dentist is not fun. This is as good as it gets. I now live 100 miles away and have had enough bad experiences that it's worth it to trek to Prescott 2x/year for our dental needs.
