WOW! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!…read more I just had my second visit with this incredible practice. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe and taken care of. It's worth saying that I'm writing this as someone who used to "hate" going to the dentist. Mind-blown... First visit: From the simple initial paperwork, to the receptionist who greeted me at my car and checked me in (and screened me for Covid' thoroughly/temperature), to the highly skilled and motivating hygienist, and then to the incredibly efficient (and friendly) Dental Assistant; my experience surpassed the decades of extensive time spent fearing dentistry. Lastly, Dr. Peterson might be the best dentist on the planet. I know that sounds extreme; but, for this fearful patient who had been out of care for years; he: 1) made me feel human; 2) explained what was actually going on in my mouth (pain and relief); and 3) came up with the most realistic and easy treatment plan. Second visit: This is where the magic really happened. Dr. Peterson and his remarkably bright assistant began working on my treatment plan; which involved un-doing years of sub-par work. I'm writing this the next day after waking up without pain in said area. Without exaggeration, I've been in constant pain, and for the first time in years I already feel relief. The work is visually stunning, but when I bite down and feel the surface with my tongue it's like new (which is worth noting given my anxiety and trauma, over-time, has me gripping and has damaged my bite). Lastly, while they were working away, like one person with 4 arms, my comfort was constantly a priority. Oh, and I am very hard to anesthetize; and, I was actually properly numb for the duration of the visit! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, to the entire staff for re-defining quality dentistry!

My initial review of this office was very positive. I had been a patient elsewhere, and upon coming…read morehere, I was immediately impressed with the technology. Fast, non-invasive x-rays, the ability to fabricate crowns in-house, huge staff...felt like it was a step in the right direction. Fast forward to now, and I feel differently. I had one crown done, as a tooth had cracked. I was given a $1,000 estimate with the standard disclaimer that I'll be responsible for the actual amount. No problem, I know the drill, as I have had dental work done in the past. The problem was their "estimate" was 100% off, and now I'm being asked to pay $2,000 for a crown that was supposed to be $1,000. From my perspective, if my job was to deal with insurance companies on a daily basis and I had hundreds of patients and thousands of EOBs, I should be able to get closer than being half-way to the actual price. I can't help but feel like I was taken advantage of. Had I known the actual price, I likely would have shopped around and had the work done elsewhere. On my next cleaning visit, the dentist told me I needed something like 6 or 7 MORE crowns. How many of those are medically necessary, and how many are to add billable income, since they cost so much more than insurance covers, AND can be done in-house?

I swear this is true! Almost two years and $7500 later, I am now finished with INVISALIGN....caused by the tight crown pushing my teeth to the side such that one of my front teeth was slightly overlapping the other.

She offered to reschedule me for the next morning and to waive the $50 appointment cancellation fee. However, as soon as I left the office they started messaging me asking me to pay the fee. When I communicated with them about this fee being waived, they refused to honor what the hygienist had told me. When I politely questioned this, they promptly dismissed me as a patient. I am in shock and deeply upset by this whole situation. I will attach our communications as an image, to warn off potential future patients.

I have had YEARS of frustration with this lab. I personally went in 4 years ago for a 'custom color…read morematch' which resulted in many years with a crappy FRONT tooth the wrong color. Very frustrating to me. Fast forward, same tooth and now need an implant, knocked it out ay age 11 and am now 41. Did the implant process, and my dentist ordered a temp 'flipper' (tooth on a retainer). The tooth, as my dentist puts it 'looks like they took it out of a drawer and threw it on a retainer.' TOTALLY wrong color. Thank God for COVID and mandatory masks?? I have to wear this thing on my FRONT tooth for 4 months! My dentists asks them to redo it. New impressions, this is fun. Have an appointment for new flipper 'install,' what do you know, not done on time. Rescheduled, middle of another work day.... and despite the detailed instructions this place 'takes it upon themselves' to grind down the custom abutment in the impressions so, as usual, the flipper doesn't fit. Fun times. Let's waste more time. I'd like to interject, they also did my retainer, 3 years ago, which DIDN'T FIT. This was a separate procedure and I specifically recall the dentist saying, 'this lab doesn't get it.' FOUR encounters of a one star with this company. I can't comprehend how they are even in business. Literally, I am terrified for the final front crown. I will be asking my dentists to use a REAL lab who can read instructions and produce a decent product.
