I love Dr. Mason and Bethany. I am 71 years old and I trust them. They are very caring. I was actually scared to get implants until I spoke with Dr. Mason and Bethany. I would recommend anyone to go there. Sincerely, Pat Horton read more

Worst dental office ever. Most of the staff are very rude and lazy, don't answer phones, and don't let you finish your dental service before asking you for payment. The equipment is always broken, and many appointments was cancelled because of this.I needed a root canal and lost a tooth because it got badly infected because of cancelled appointment, kept trying to reschedule and the staff was very rude, one even told me that I shoud start seeing another dentist, I called a few weeks later , no answer, left a message to speak to a supervisor, no call back I wouldn't advise anyone to go to this denial office. I would give them a big 0 if I could. read more

Painless Dentistry - Dentures - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Lansing location...worst experience ever. After posting a negative review one of the owners responded and encouraged me to contact the office manager to rectify my complaints of scheduling glitches, lack of communication, length of time to get schedule work, etc. I contacted office manager and a bad situation became untamable. She passed off my concerns to a subordinate, lied about insurance contacts, was rude and apathetic. I requested her supervisor's contact info but was refused although guaranteed her district manager would contact me. That was 6 weeks ago and I have heard nothing. I was assured that the work in question would be scheduled once they received information from my insurance carrier. I have heard nothing from Painless Dentistry although my insurance carrier approved the work 5 weeks ago. Horrible practice and I am searching for another dentist. read more

They return calls 36-48 hours. Poor customer service. When you are at the front desk to check in there is 1- 2 receptionists and 3 other staff members chatting away while completely ignoring you. Not even an acknowledgment until they're done with their personal conversation. The male dental hygienist was so loud there was no HIPPA compliance at all. The Dr. Allison was so rude. I am shocked they are still open. read more

I have them a good review 1. For the free Starbucks card 2. Because I hadn't experienced being serviced beyond communication. they are TERRIBLE. Ew, never coming here again. That man/ dentist was so RUDE, on top of being rude while I'm already in pain, he numbed the Wrong area & I felt him pulling my tooth out. Not to mention they tell me that I have another tooth needing to be pulled and filling needed so instead of doing all of that at once you just did ONE tooth. I'm not coming back. SUCK! read more

I want to start out with this place was the worst experience I could have, not only was it one of the dirtiest places I've been to but they also do awful work. I've taken many pictures as proof that they havent wiped a single surface down in maybe years built up dirt all over their walls, equipment, sinks dont even work yet alone how awful and unprofessional they are and how they cant take simple criticism to do better because they dont even care to. Anyone I've talked to can say the same, if you worry about your teeth and health save yourself some time and find a better option. read more

I needed a cleaning and I had a painful tooth. They told me that I needed five teeth pulled that I had no intention of pulling. Except the one that was very bad and painful. So I went in for the cleaning and the tooth pulling at the same time. It was known and I told several different people this tooth hurts and pointed at it over and over especially the person that was prepping me. I was given a lot of lidocaine front and back I have to words I said I think you pulled the wrong tooth and they said no he didn't it was 15. Whatever that meant. So I trusted them and went home. I could not feel anything for hours and when I felt something I realized it was the wrong tooth that was pulled that I had no intention on getting pulled there was nothing wrong with it that I could see or feel. They don't ever answer their phone it always goes right to voicemail. So I had to drive in there again because they don't ever answer their phone and told them that they pulled the wrong tooth. They denied pulling the wrong tooth. I said I kept pointing at this tooth and telling you it was this tooth and you can clearly see there's something wrong with this tooth. He said well the other one needed to come out too. I said let me see the x-ray. It looked fine to me the other one had a bunch of white stuff all over on the x-ray whatever that meant I don't know. But it felt fine. Anyway they pulled out the wrong tooth. Now I have no back tooth to chew with. Do not go here. This place is horrible. I wish I would have read these reviews before I went because they are all horrible reviews. But I think mine is the most horrible. read more

Completely disorganized and lack of communication within the office. 1st visit I had with them back in October. Came in for tooth pain knowing that I'd most likely need it to be pulled. The doctor who came in to assess in, told me I should get a root canal because you can see it when I smile. Even though I said I didn't care and just need pain relief and would be fine with pulling it. He insisted on the root canal. I just went along with that because he obviously knows better than me. They send me up front get that scheduled, then they didn't have anything until Jan/feb in this office, but said they'd look into the Detroit office. (2 hours away, but I was okay if it got me in sooner.) They couldn't get into the Detroit office appointment calendar right then and told me they'd call. I didnt hear anything for a week. So I called and was never connected with anyone. 2nd visit in December , started off in the main office and then had to be taken to a waiting room across the hall. Finally after 20+ minutes of waiting, taken back for X-rays. The Tech (Rayna) was great. Then a doctor comes back to talk to me, gave her the same story from the 1st visit. Tooth ache, would rather just pull it but again insisted on root canal. I said I'd do that, if there was availability within the month. There was, so I was happy, ready to be done with this. Now yesterday (the day before my appointment) someone called from office " the doctor was looking over his case load and thinks you need to see a specialist because of where your roots are ." After that I'm done. This is something that should've been told to me prior to yesterday. Now I have to find a new dentist and probably wait another month to be seen. read more

Stop the blood pressure procedure. Made to feel like a school child needing Dr permission for a simple cleaning

I'm writing this review to let people know how was treated at Painless Dentistry. Do not go there for Dental implants. They are a fly by night operation and very unprofessional. Do not go there you will be sorry. Totally Terrible Experience. They should not even have a license to practice Dental work. read more

Where to start .... The only thing they do well are cleanings. My husband has had to have crowns redone several times because they were done poorly. He had a cracked tooth clearly evident on an X-ray but was sent to a specialist because the dentist couldn't see anything Is in the process of getting an implant, they've made no attempt at explains the process, his gap is actually closing in because they didn't set his temp tooth in place correctly. Twice the staff have "scheduled" him for the final process and twice he's been told nothing was scheduled. He finally blew up at the receptionist. She never apologized for what happened and berated him for being upset that his appointments didn't exist. Not only that, the only doctor he is allowed to see cut his hours severely and it will take another month to get an appointment. Poor dental work, poor customer service. Nothing but frustration over and over again. Do not go here. read more

Emily Lucas Local Guide·13 reviews·8 photos I recently had a very frustrating experience with Painless Dentistry that I feel compelled to share. Earlier this year, I reached out to the office to confirm whether I could schedule a filling appointment after undergoing a root canal at another facility. I was told to call back after my procedure, which I did on July 12. After my endodontist sent over my 3-D x-rays, I was able to secure an appointment for July 25. However, when I arrived, I was informed that the doctor was not available, and my filling couldn't be performed. I was then forced to schedule yet another appointment. Unfortunately, my troubles didn't end there. A week later, I received a call notifying me that my appointment was canceled due to insurance issues. I rescheduled, only to face the same issue a couple of weeks later when they called to cancel yet again, claiming my insurance had not approved the procedure. Frustrated, I contacted my insurance provider, only to find out that they had no record of Painless Dentistry submitting a prior authorization request. After a three-way call with my insurance and their office, it became clear that Painless Dentistry had miscommunicated, claiming they submitted my request just the night before, despite earlier telling me they did it weeks ago. When I called their office directly to address this mix-up, the receptionist seemed completely unaware of my situation and even struggled to find my x-rays. To my dismay, they also attempted to discuss a quoting out a bridge that I had already received, which felt particularly disrespectful given my circumstances. Her demeanor was poor, and she had no idea why my records indicated nothing but a bridge quote out. Fast forward to late August, and I was cautiously optimistic about my next appointment scheduled for September 5. However, just yesterday, I received another cancellation due to ongoing issues with my prior authorization. The receptionist casually informed me that it could take up to three weeks to get a response from the insurance--a fact that only adds to my frustration. At this point, I insisted on speaking with an office manager to discuss my ongoing issues. The lack of communication, combined with feeling like an inconvenience rather than a valued patient, left me incredibly disappointed. Overall, my experiences with Painless Dentistry have been frustrating and poorly managed. The combination of being repeatedly canceled on, the confusing insurance process, and the lack of organized communication has soured my experience. It's clear that the office is struggling with overbooking and understaffing, but patients deserve better treatment than I received. I hope they can improve their processes moving forward, as a patient's comfort and care should always come first. Also, the office manager has yet to call to discuss this negligence. They're running a contest, hence the 5 star reviews. UPDATED: spoke to office manager. She let me know that her "girls" wouldn't have been able to do the prior authorization without x-ray. But I had sent that x-ray over and during my first appointment we discussed the x-ray. So they have just continuously lied to me over and over. Obviously I'm not going to be going to this establishment again. But everyone should know. The continuous gas really seals it for me read more

A complete scam. They lied to me and told me that my insurance would cover everything, just to charge me over $4500 out of pocket. Be careful to look at your bill statements this company is known for lying, and charging patients for treatments that were not done. I thought my visa card was lost only to find out dental billing receptionist had it. When I asked her the first time she said it was not at the dentist office. I found out days later I was overcharged several of times for the same treatment. Then the dental billing receptionist calls me, to tell me she found my visa card. The customer service is awful. Be prepared for calls not to be answered. I would not recommend this place to no one. read more

The worse possible experience I have ever encountered at a dentist office in my entire life. The office manager who's name is Stacy, is the rudest person they could possibly have doing that job, and she enjoys it (which says a lot about this place in general). STAY AWAY..... read more

The people at painless dentistry must have some sort of personality other than being rude, since they came up with this ironic name. I totally recommend coming here if you enjoy: getting yelled at by a dentist who has a needle in your mouth, being left unattended for an hour, getting ripped off, having your mouth numbing (for surgery!) botched, and paying extra for nitrous oxide they don't even bother to give you! Oh, and did I mention a newfound fear of the dentist! Anyway, I hope the people at 'painless' dentistry have as horrible of a day as I do, everytime I think about my experience here. read more

Not even 1 star for me. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS how they do clients! And they are not courteous AT ALL! I work so sometimes it's hard to make my appointments. First off they don't answer the phone. I left several messages stating I couldn't make it and wanted to reschedule. NOBODY CALLS YOU BACK EVER! They put me down as a no show and told me after several missed appointments I could no longer receive services there. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! they ought to be glad ANYONE would consider having any type of dental work done outside of cleanings in that CUBICLE! ANYWHO, turns out rejection is really a blessing because as soon as they told me I could no longer receive services from them I got into another dental clinic TWO DAYS LATER!!! IDC if I only had one tooth left and they were the only dental office left on earth I Would NEVER GO BACK TO THEM AGAIN!!! read more

I had a reference from a friend that a good doctor just started working there. After three visits, my doctor was unavailable. I went ahead with the cleaning and they found work to be done. After three visits trying to see my original doctor and refusing anything but cleaning, they finally admitted my doctor left over a year ago. A practice that can't be honest about the basics is no practice at all. read more

The extraction was not bad.Had too dig out tooth by root because tooth busted off.I was sore for 2 weeks miserable with no pain meds.I was told to hold ice pack on my mouth and that hurt..Oh my God painless dentistry are you sure about that?painless?How about miserable aching swollen face. read more

I never even made it to a dentist. My appointment was rescheduled by the administrative office. Once I received that new date, I called to confirm my appointment twice and no one told me my appointment was moved again until I arrived. I took off early from work for this. Very unprofessional. read more

Thoroughly impressed by the scheduling, friendliness of staff, and informative consulting. Shoutout to Kimberly and Dr. Mason for awesome work! read more

I had a great visit with Painless Dentistry. My hygienist, Anna, was amazing. She took the time to explain what she was doing with each step of the process, and her attitude was great too! She took extra time to address my concerns and made sure the dentist was aware as well. She also did a great job with sanitation. I saw her sanitizing every surface before I had even left the building. She was great! The front staff was very helpful for me as well. read more

This is the worst dentist I have EVER been to. I paid for services and work was not completed. Now I will have to go to a different dentist to have the completed and the work done to my teeth sucked. read more

Frances was the assistant who had assisted me. She Was very friendly and super nice. She kept great communication and was super polite. I have Dr mason and I've heard good things. I will update this after to talk about the doctor. They have some great deals here and I recommend the visit! I'm here for braces and they have a great payment plan! read more

I always have a great experience here. They are always willing to work with you. They are the best. I recommend them to all my friends and family. read more

Worst dentist ever...staff is rude and once they have your money they could care less if they finish the procedure. When asking questions regarding the procedure never would receive the same answer, it was as if no one knew what was going on. Also, every time had an appointment would have to wait for 20 to 30 minutes and then remind them that I was there. Would have given 0 stars if could have. read more

The front desk staff was very welcoming, Beth cleaned my teeth and used a special instrument to clean around my implants. My teeth looked brighter at finish than start, and though I usually need to be numb for cleanings I wasn't and I was very comfortable. Dr. K did my exam and he was thorough and spoke highly of the specialist they have who does implants, stating he would send his own mother to him. I met the office manager Roberta on my way out and she was very nice. The cost was reasonable (I don't have insurance) and overall a good value. read more

I found the staff to be friendly,I was made extremely comfortable during my visits,they are a very caring,professional and throw a sense of humor in there too.Thank you for giving me back my smile!!! read more

Sooooo been at this office since I was a kid and it was owned by Robert Elliot. I have been nice and trying to work with them before taking legal action but they are horrible. They have messed up on my soooo many times!! Like seriously even given me medicine I'm allergic to and my allergy is on file. They have had to re do an implant 2"twice due to their own errors and now I have 2 route canals that have to be completely redone by a true professional. They have high doctor turn over with new doctors each time you visit and the last doctor I seen there reviewed my x rays and was furious at the horrible work the did. At this time I now have to have 2 re-do on a job they were pain in full for. My total cost is 2,400$ and I will not let this go until they take care of this and make me whole. Now on tot complain to the attorney general, better business bureau, and consumer protection Agency. You can not treat and service patients in this way and I'm not letting this go. They were suppose to call me back yesterday about this issue. Tacky tacky tacky read more

Well for a teeth cleaning they took all of 15 min i think. all polishing no scaling, to me that isnt a good thing and the teeth cleaner was telling me they got the job because the friend is the manager. I would say dont go to them I am getting a crown right now sadly and they called me after I just got done paying them 430 and my insurance paid more then 900 bucks and they send me a bill for 56. this place is a joke i should have known with their cheesy sign not to go. read more

They couldn't contact me? I fill out all the paperwork in the office and hand it to them before scheduling the appointments for me, my wife and my son. While scheduling we moved around the group of appointments to find what works best. I go in for the appointment two weeks latter and the receptionist is rude and keeps changing her story. "There's no appointment for you", "No, wait, we couldn't contact you", "Your late for the appointment" (had move it back from an earlier original time, while doing the orginal scheduling). "Oh, you forgot your insurance card", and she pulls it out of the desk drawer, not from a patient file or some secure place, just with the rest of her pens and paper clips. When I asked her why she couldn't contact me when I filled out all the paperwork with contact, SSN, and medical history 2 weeks ago, her only anwser was it not in the system. She couldn't anwser where my information was now, why it was never enter over the 2 weeks. After getting the run around for several minutes, I became upset and she demanded that I leave. Without providing me any of my information, which she is legally obligated to do. I wouldn't trust these people with your private information, let alone work on your teeth. read more

this is the worst dentist around.. their commercials are gimmicks and lies.. you only see dr west for the consultation then your left to whoever else he has working.. they do not care if you are in pain.. I was in pain at every visit and had swollen gums which they never did anything for when I complained it was always that's normal.. my work was supposed to take a month and took 7 months. do not go here you pay high prices for poor work they do not care about their patients just want their money.. I paid $3800 for work and an additional $1000 for gold to be put around 2 teeth and whoever they sent the gold too could not do it correctly after 5 attempts I was left to settle for one without any gold and now they refuse to give the money back for the gold that was never put on... add to this post if you had a bad experience here we can try to get a class action lawsuit against painless dentistry and dr. west... read more
