    Oh my goodness, I can't believe I overlooked writing a review on Yelp! I had a dental implant…read morenearly a year ago, but even now, I'm super excited to give kudos to an exceptional practice like Canyon State Oral and Dental Implant Surgery. Why does Yelp only give you the option of 5 stars? This practice deserves so many more! Starting with walking in the door, the waiting room is decorated so tastefully, it's very clean, and everyone in the front office is REALLY nice. The exam and procedure rooms are actually serene, with beautiful decor and windows to look out. And then the surgery team--I don't even know where to start. I am the most anxious (adult :-) patient they have probably ever encountered, but they were so kind and considerate it's INCREDIBLE! Dental implants require 2 procedures, and they were equally thoughtful and patient both times. I have to give a special shoutout to Sam and Dr. Ray. It was your medical expertise and the confidence it gave me, plus the above-and-beyond support you provided from start to finish, that helped me through everything that was difficult for me. I am so happy that Canyon State was recommended to me!

Their professionalism and expertise at their tasks showed every step of the way. Dr. Ray easily does some of the best work in his profession and his passion and care showed to me before during and after procedures made me feel so comfortable. 10/10

    Im extremely disappointed by a communication error made by iGoDental's billing department. As if…read morethe billing issue itself was not frustrating enough, I was then left feeling like I was practically shown the door when I expressed my concerns. In February 2026, I went to iGoDental for a dental cleaning and a consultation for veneers on a couple of teeth. Upon checking out, I was provided with a quote listing my patient responsibility as 2453.10 with 2000 expected to be covered by my insurance. I paid the 2453.10 in full and was extremely excited to finally perfect my smile after recently completing Invisalign Dr Hanna Choi performed my veneers, and I genuinely liked her and her work. She was kind, warm, and did beautiful work. I was so happy with my smile that I even recommended iGoDental to others based on my experience with her. Unfortunately, my experience with the billing department has completely changed my perception of the clinic. A couple of months later, I received a text stating that I had an outstanding balance of approximately $1,400. I was obviously taken aback, especially because I had already paid the amount I was told was my responsibility in full.I called the clinic and eventually spoke with the manager, who I was told is one of the new managers. The manager explained that my insurance had denied the claim and that I was now responsible for the remaining balance. I explained that I had never been made aware that an insurance denial was even a possibility. Had I known, I absolutely would not have paid the full amount that day without first obtaining the billing codes and contacting UnitedHealthcare myself to verify coverage. The manager apologized that I had not been made aware and explained that she was "a new manager" and that there were "a lot of new front desk members who are new and working on their wording." I understand that employees can be new and mistakes happen. However, I relied on the information provided by the office when deciding to proceed with treatment. The manager then explained that the consent I signed "clearly states" that I understood the amount was an estimate and that I would be responsible for any remaining balance in the event of an insurance denial. I reviewed the consent myself. The composite resin consent states regarding insurance: "Insurance: Some plans only cover the cost of amalgam, so the patient may pay more. The material used will be properly documented." I would genuinely like to know how that clearly communicates to a patient that their insurance could deny the claim altogether and leave them responsible a huge bill. The quote I was provided also did not clearly explain that I could potentially be responsible for a significant additional balance if insurance denied the claim. It is incredibly disheartening to feel financially responsible for a lack of communication from the billing team. If there was a possibility that my insurance would deny the claim, I believe that should have been clearly communicated before I paid thousands of dollars--not months later when I was suddenly presented with a large bill. What was perhaps most disappointing was how the situation was handled afterward. I explained that I would have happily continued as a patient for many years for routine visits, including throughout the five-year warranty period for my veneers. I live only about five minutes from the clinic, genuinely liked the Dr and had every intention of continuing my care there. However, the manager told me I could have my cleanings done elsewhere and simply come back to iGoDental if I needed my veneers repaired, as long as I provided documentation that I was maintaining routine cleanings. Instead of feeling that the practice wanted to resolve the situation and maintain what could have been a long-term patient relationship, I felt as though I was essentially being shown the door. It's a shame because I really liked the Dr's work and appreciated that iGoDental is privately owned. I was prepared to be a long-term patient, but this experience has unfortunately changed my perception of the practice. If you choose to receive treatment here, my advice is simple: get everything in writing, verify your coverage with your insurance yourself, and don't assume that the quote you're given is necessarily what you will ultimately owe.

After the x-ray they came in to numb my mouth to fill the tooth. I had novocaine shooting out of my mouth and inside my entire mouth and tongue. They wouldn't suction that out till I waved at them I needed to be suctioned. During the procedure they had to stop and numb me more when I felt pain. When released the biting surface was extremely rough. A week & 1/2 later I came back to have that smoothed out they drilled more without Novocaine. The dentist had such a hard hand he pushed his instruments inside the jaw bone. I had to ask him not to put that much pressure on because it was hurting me all they said was we have to move your tongue. I was informed that I had to have a root canal and a crown IMMEDIATELY. I need additional fillings on additional teeth. I asked for pricing they did not give me a price. During that week my gums bled. I thought I might have had an infection. I went to a different dentist for a second opinion and the old silver filling was still underneath of the white filling, they said it should never have happened that way and they should have put a crown on top of the new filling because it's such a large feeling that it can crack my tooth. My route was fine and there was no sign of infection. That was over two weeks ago and I'm still in pain.

    Well this trip was bust but we definitely didn't make the same mistake twice. So if you got surgery…read morefollow the no eat or drink policy cause they will cancel your appointment. All in all the office is nice, summer is here so it's nice and cold inside and it's very clean and nicely decorated. I would say the cancellation was careful care since we don't want to vomit all over anyone or anything so they took care to follow the protocol as given. Staff seemed friendly I mean I don't think they were rude about it, it's just it is what it is and I get that. They also seem like they enjoy each others company as I sat I could hear their voices and friendly chatter so to like where you are on a regular basis is good for cheerful patient approaches. I also heard and observed them being kind to others as they came in (not to us) but again I'm not all bent out of shape from them not greeting us as I said they weren't rude or mean so. Two teeth removed later he's just grateful to the doctor for just being of service to his expertise. What more could we ask right?!

I am a very picky person when it comes to who works on my teeth and I was more than happy with this Dental Group. The girls at the front and Dr Pratt's assistant are simply amazing and friendly. I have a long journey ahead of me and I'm excited that it's going to be with this Dental Group. Thank you all so much for making me feel like family. I highly recommend going there and getting work done with Dr Pratt or any of the other dentist there. Thanks again
