Dr. Jang and his associates and staff are professional and welcoming, and technically, he is a…read moregreat dentist as well. I have had an implant and several crowns replaced, and all are holding well. He is also affordable. He only charges half of what Bay Area dentists were asking for an implant, and that comes with an in-office CT scan to determine the viability for an implant for insurance approval - and you don't have to leave the country or risk your health for the affordable price! You just have to get to Barstow (a 2-1/2 hr drive or bus ride from Las Vegas or L.A., or an hour drive from Ontario airport). His office manager is a genius at getting the insurance companies to cover their share. I always owe less than anticipated. Their office and facilities are modern, comfortable, and attractive.

So I took my mom and myself to a new dentist. We don't have to tolerate abuse and be LIED to by the…read moredentist himself. First off he told my 86 yr old mother that she need her 4 bottom front teeth pulled and a plate with teeth to wear. WRONG! Our new dentist shook his head and said....NOPE! I'm so glad you came to me. A good deep cleaning will secure those teeth because her jaw bone is just fine! Now I've also been complaining about a crown he put on one of my molars. The day after getting it I noticed it kept hurting so I ran my tongue across the back of it. There's a opening between the cap and my gums where food is getting in....SMH! I told dentist at Jangs and he had the nerve to tell me just to keep it clean and use a toothpick to pull food out! I knew he was full of it. Even our new dentist said its a ill fitting crown which he took pictures of and is submitting them to have it replaced and show them what Dr Jangs office did to me. I kept telling Jangs office that the crown wasn't right. I should have to be in pain after getting a cemrown and I definitely shouldn't be getting food in an opening! Then he yanked some of my teeth telling me they couldn't be saved and crowns were denied. Crown were denied because they could have been saved and I realized that when he had the audacity to ask me....." Don't you want dentures?" Fuck no....do you? Then they kept trying to push us to get my mom's teeth yanked....NOPE! Plus I waited about 2 months to where they were supposed to submit the paperwork for approval for my mom's work and heard nothing. So I would call only to have that bitch that sits in front be rude. She's lucky I bit my tongue quite a few time because she doesn't realize she playing with fire. 2 of the ladies that work up front need a good ass whipping and one day someone is gonna give it to them. I told the one who submits all the paperwork to her face after she had the nerve to be rude to me on the phone that she better never talk to me like I'm her 5 year old child again. Watch out people! Lots of scamming going on at this dental office. Money hungry and they don't care who's mouth they ruin....because they ruined mine and ALMOST my mom's. Its sad how people complain about some of the staff up front and nothing is EVER done about it. Even a few of the girls that work in the back said their very rude to clients. Please look up Bliss Dental Products. I healed 2 cavities with their mineral toothpaste plus healed my receding gums with the gum massage treatment. Don't let ANYONE ruin your teeth for greed!

My experience with Barstow Friendly Smiles and Craig Robinson Dr. involved significant…read moremisrepresentation of insurance coverage and a lack of transparency throughout the entire process. I was told--both verbally and in writing--that my insurance would cover 60% and 40% of the total cost of a crown and mouth guard, and I was required to pay the full $3,596.25 upfront based on that representation. This was false. My insurance ultimately covered only $279.64. After receiving my Explanation of Benefits, I contacted both the dental office and my insurance. My insurer confirmed that the office had been clearly told on the date of service that coverage applied only to the allowed amount, not the total billed amount. This critical information was never disclosed to me. I agreed to treatment solely because I was assured I would be reimbursed a specific percentage of the full cost. Since then, the office has provided inconsistent explanations, denied statements that were later proven untrue, and has not contacted my insurance again despite repeatedly claiming they were "working on it." I also requested a copy of the document I signed showing the quoted coverage, and the office failed to provide it. I have repeatedly asked to speak with the dentist or owner regarding this issue, and each time I have been told I am not allowed to speak with anyone except Ruby at the front desk. This refusal to escalate concerns or allow communication with management is unacceptable. I believe I was induced into unnecessary and costly treatment based on inaccurate and misleading information. The lack of disclosure, refusal to correct the issue, and ongoing evasiveness demonstrate a serious disregard for patient rights. I cannot recommend this office to anyone seeking honest or transparent dental care.

I use to go to this dentist until they cracked a tooth. I had a tooth with a partial cavity and…read morethey said they could cut out the cavity and save the rest of the tooth. They said they would put a crown on the tooth. The good news is they were able to do exactly that, they removed the cavity and put a crown on the tooth. The bad news is the crown was too big and it caused pain. I returned a few times and they tried but failed to fix it. One day the pain stopped on its own, strange. Even stranger is the neighboring tooth felt funny, not really pain but something was off. I went back and what do you know, the neighboring tooth was cracked, due to the pressure put on it from the over-sized crown. They checked x-rays and sure enough, that same cracked tooth was perfectly healthy just a month before the crown. Right before the crown, I had a perfectly healthy tooth, a month after the crown, a cracked molar on a tooth that was otherwise healthy. Instead of taking responsibility I was treated not like someone who was a regular or someone who just suffered a cracked tooth, but I was treated like I was the villain. They never could answer how that tooth cracked all of a sudden, except "Well you are getting older" and other nonsense. So in the end they saved the tooth with the cavity and the crown stopped hurting, but the process cost me a perfectly healthy tooth, meaning I ended up paying over $1,000 and still lost a tooth. Imagine being out of a tooth, being out of $1,000, and given the run around, and treated badly while denying accountability. That is this dentist, both father and son. I would treat this place like ten miles of bad road.

Dr. Vincent and his staff welcomed me, starting with their sweet receptionist when I called to make an appointment for a toothache. The nurses are the friendliest, caring nurses who explained every detail from the procedures to financials. Dr. Vincent is a miracle worker, my pain was gone in less than five minutes, he clearly explained my situation going on now and in the coming future. The office was extremely clean, workers were happy and uplifting, which eased my tension for being at a dentist office. My other dentist's office was quiet, cold and scary to me. Could be why I did not schedule appointments unless I had a toothache. But, I will definitely be completing my annual checkups at Barstow Family Dental from here on out and you can guarantee I will get my husband in too. For anyone who feels the same, I highly recommend Dr. Vincent and his staff. They will not disappoint!

​My wife and I had our semi-annual checkup with Smile Makers in Helendale on 5/22/2025. What we…read morewere not told or made aware of is that the dental office had removed themselves from the network of our insurance, (Blue Cross/Blue Shield), less than a week before our appointment. Because of this, when the insurance company refused to pay for the service, we were sent a bill for $400+. When we contacted the insurance company about non-payment, the insurance company told us that they would contact the provider and if they would request to be back in the network for the time of our appointment, then Blue Cross/Blue Shield would pay the statement. The dentist office had agreed to do so, and we thought everything was taken care of, UNTIL we received a bill from Smile Makers, 10 months later for the original charges plus late payment fees. Needless to say, I contacted my insurance carrier who informed me that the dental office never requested to be placed back in the network. After several back and forth calls, the insurance carrier presented the dental office with 2 options, they would let the dental office back into the network for the date of our service, or Smile Makers could accept from me the amount Blue Cross/Blue Shield would have paid them. Unfortunately for me, Smile Makers stated the dentist was on vacation and the office made it sound like he would not want to request to be placed back into the network temporarily and that the best I could hope for was to pay the $400+ myself. My review is a negative one because this experience has not had the outcome that I had expected. Not only do I pay nearly $600 a year for dental insurance but then through no fault of my own, I am out another $400+ because the office staff at Smile Makers did not bother to inform us that they had removed themselves from our insurance network. Every time we would go to the dentist, we would ask if everything was alright with our coverage.
