Beautiful Vibes, Questionable Diagnosis…read more After extensive research, I chose Dream Dental Dentistry because of its glowing online reviews. I walked in expecting top-tier care. What I got was... an experience. Let's break it down. Lounge Area 10/10 on aesthetics. The waiting area is beautifully decorated, the chairs are comfortable, and the music was great. It felt more like a trendy lounge than a dental office. Clean, modern, thoughtfully designed. Honestly, if vibes could clean teeth, this place would be elite. Receptionist Hillary at the front desk was fantastic, friendly, warm, and genuinely welcoming. First impressions matter, and she absolutely delivered. Other Staff The team seemed happy and upbeat. At one point it felt like karaoke hour in the best way. You can tell the staff enjoys working together. The energy is light and positive, which is refreshing in a dental setting. Bathroom Clean and well-maintained. No complaints there. The Exam Process Here's where things shifted. The exam involved an excessive number of photos from multiple angles, tools holding my mouth open, extended time under bright lights. I understand documentation is important, but there was little explanation during the process. When I asked questions about what was going on, the responses felt vague and rushed. Then came the big reveal. The Diagnosis & Treatment Plan Instead of receiving the routine cleaning I scheduled, I was told my teeth were in poor condition and that I needed a more involved (and more expensive) procedure not covered by my insurance. The conversation felt less like healthcare guidance and more like a sales presentation. The focus seemed to shift toward upselling rather than addressing my primary reason for coming in. Dr. Carolina Londono did not come across as reassuring or transparent to me. Trust is huge in healthcare, and I simply didn't feel it in that moment. Second Opinion The next day, I went to my previous provider for a second opinion. Completely different experience. They disagreed with the assessment, performed a standard cleaning fully covered by insurance, and did not find the severe issues I was warned about. That contrast spoke volumes. Trust & Bedside Manner For me, bedside manner is about clarity, transparency, and feeling like your provider is advocating for your health, not your wallet. While the office excels in atmosphere and friendliness, I left feeling uneasy rather than confident. Final Thoughts Dream Dental absolutely wins on ambiance, music, and aesthetics. If I were reviewing it as a coworking space, it might get five stars. But when it comes to dental care, trust outweighs décor every time. If something feels off, get a second opinion. There are other trustworthy dental offices out there. I ended up going back to mine, and I'm glad I did. Read the reviews, but also listen to your instincts.

Sure enough I had a crack in not one but two fillings from two 20 year old fillings. With his cutting edge technology, he was able to show me on the computer, photos they took of the cracks and discussed what needed to be done. I went back for two different sessions for the replacement of the fillings. When I expressed some side effects from the anesthetic after the first filling, he was able to adjust my dosage so I didn't have a headache the next time. He even had the bedside manner to follow up with me a few days later to make sure I was okay after the second filling. Both times the shots he gave me barely numbed my cheek and lips, so I had none of the strange numb sensation after the appointment. The shots didn't even pinch and he is very efficient in his work.

I was shocked at the cost, but talked to a good friend of mine who is a dental hygienist. She stated that the cost quoted was not out of line. I'm sorry others had a bad experience, mine was significantly different (and much better).
