Xray
Nonda M.

I really love this dentist office the staff is fast and friendly they have all the modern equipment They let you know immediately what your x-rays look like and it all comes on a big screen in front of you , while the staff checks your insurance forms to make sure everything is good , if you don't have a dentist this is the place to come

The exorbitant estimate that both another dentist and gum surgeon said was completely unnecessary.

I live near this location and saw a banner that Sparks Modern Dentistry had up promoting a cleaning and X-ray special for $59.00. I'd recently moved back to the area and was in need of a dentist. I saw Erin McEvoy at Sparks Modern Dentistry in Sept. 2021 and had an average teeth cleaning. After giving me X-rays, Dr. McEvoy informed me that I had advanced gum disease and would need an appointment as soon as possible for a Scaling and Root Planing. She handed me a mirror and said I was at risk of losing my teeth because my gum disease was so advanced. This was shocking news to me, as I have always had good dental care and I floss daily. I have never before been told that I had gum disease. When I told the doctor that I flossed everyday, and asked how it was possible that I had advanced gum disease, she simply said, "It's hereditary." I was given a work up for my 2nd visit totaling $1274.00 and told to book it "as soon as possible." I was extremely upset with her assessment of my gums, in fact, I burst into tears as she was conveying her opinion to me. She handed me a tissue, but said nothing comforting. I found her to be very cold. When I left, I phoned my father who insisted that I get a second opinion. I took his advice, but had to wait for months to get an appointment at the busy office to where I was referred. I finally saw that dentist in January of 2022. The Dentist who gave me my 2nd opinion has been in practice for over 20 years. He said my gums were perfectly healthy and that I had no gum disease. He had "no idea" why I would be told that I needed a gum planing and scaling. He did say I had loss of gum and referred me to a gum surgeon. I saw the gum surgeon in February of this year. He confirmed that I need to have surgery to replace loss of gums (from over-vigorous brushing) but he also expressed disbelief that anyone would tell me I had advanced gum disease. Additionally, I called Sparks Modern Dentistry two weeks before my 2nd opinion from the new dentist and asked that they send over my x-rays. I was assured that my x-rays would be sent that week. When I got to my appointment, the new dentist never received my X-rays. One of the staff called Sparks Modern Dentistry and they were told that I was never a patient there! So, I called them directly, and since I had my paperwork from Erin McEvoy in my hands, I told them my account number. Then, they fumbled about to explain that they were confused and sent over my X-rays; not in the large format in which they were taken, but in an extremely small file that made it difficult for my new dentist to read. What kind of business practices are these? Pretending and denying that I was ever a patient? Refusing to send X-rays? False claims of care needed? I am so pleased that I didn't take Erin McEvoy's incorrect assessment and spend $1274.00 for something I absolutely did not need. I can not recommend Erin McEvoy as a dentist because of these experiences.

Unfortunately, our 4:00 PM appointment today was an extremely disappointing experience. When we arrived, we were told we had been removed from the schedule because we didn't confirm the appointment. I explained that I did confirm through the text system, just like we always have. Claudia at the front desk was very kind and explained they've been having issues with the confirmation system and said they could still see my daughter. A couple technicians came out and said they would get her in shortly, but then another technician came out and said my daughter had been removed from the schedule because we didn't confirm. When I explained what the front desk had told us about the system issue, she said it didn't matter because they were no longer taking 4 PM appointments. When I said maybe we should just leave, she said yes, we should. The manager who we have known for a very long time was standing there during this entire interaction and didn't say a word. After nearly 10 years as patients, being told to leave over what appears to be a system error was shocking. There are plenty of dentists in the area who are actually "gentle" and treat families with kindness and respect. We will be taking our family to one of them instead. I hope the office takes a closer look at how situations like this are handled in the future so other long-time patients aren't treated the same way.

Regarding the office management, I experienced several scheduling conflicts and felt dismissed despite having phone confirmations. Furthermore, I requested an estimate for my out-of-pocket costs multiple times prior to treatment, but was only told the amount would be "minimal" due to my dual coverage. I did not receive any EOBs, and my insurance was not billed for eight months. I finally received a bill after 11 months, which incorrectly claimed the balance was 90 days past due. Additionally, the dental hygienist was late for every appointment and performed unauthorized services that resulted in additional costs. Her negative demeanor and the way she communicated regarding my dental health were also quite distressing. Go elsewhere!!

I highly recommend her. I have had several cavities that she has been monitoring for more than 5 years, and only one of them has gotten worse and required fixing. Every other dentist I've had in the past would tell me to immediately fix my cavities (even little ones barely visible to the naked eye, if at all) and then charge me thousands of dollars. Doctor Hong taught me that good dental care can in fact inhibit the growth of existing cavities. This has proven true --- only one of the cavities I have had has gotten worse in the past several years. Why has no other dentist given me this sound advice? Instead, the other dentists have charged me thousands and thousands (and thousands) of dollars to give me fillings and fix cavities that did not need to be fixed in the first place. Doctor Hong and her staff do a fantastic job. She is very thorough, careful, and above all, trustworthy.

This period includes Dr. Thomas and recently, the transition to Dr. Vong and Dr. Avendano. Bruna has been my routine hygienist and her technical skills are brilliant, top-notch. In particular, her ability to sonically clean and to measure my receding gums with the absolute minimum of discomfort speaks to her fabulous technique. In a joking fashion, sometimes I think she's just saying the numbers because there is no sensation while probing the gum line. Additionally, I want to mention Amber and Jada who filled-in for Bruna during a recent absence and they too, demonstrated a high level of technical skill and competence. More recently, I needed updates to 6 existing fillings and had been a little reluctant to have this work completed. Dr. Avendano and his assistant Crystal were "beyond my expectations". As a team, they were fast, efficient, and treated me in a manner that ensured I was comfortable before and during the procedure. Most impressive to me was Dr. A's ability to deliver anesthesia by needle with NO sensation of a needle prick. I was aware that he was working in my mouth to prepare for the procedure and then, "poof", the area was numb. No jab, no pin prick, no burning. His technique is incredible and I remained comfortable for the entire procedure. Should you be facing some over-due dental work, or are simply in need of an excellent hygienist, I would confidently recommend the team at Vista Dental.

I no longer trust going to this location even though I have been there for many years they seem to have gone through a transition of ownership as well, and that seems to be where everything went south. Their hygienist are fine. It's just the people that run their business in their office.

24 Jan 2019 UPDATE After my tooth extraction back in March…read more2018; I've continued to have my teeth periodically cleaned by Misty Baker. I only have 10 teeth & am pleased with the personal attention & thoroughness of Misty's expertise. I look forward to my next scheduled appointment with Misty on 24 May 2019. ================================================ On 6 Feb 2017 I arrived at the appointed time & had a tooth extracted, to my satisfaction. 17 Mar 2018, a Saturday morning, I arrived unannounced, no appointment, & had been in pain since Tuesday. The staff readily got me into X-Ray dept for the preliminary. Once seated in the dental chair, a young woman came in & introduced herself as Dr. Melanie Kim. First thing I noticed is she has small hands which is what I want for my child-size mouth. I'm 73 years old & know my teeth are nearing the end of the road. I have no front teeth just a few molars for chewing, all of which are in poor condition. I reasonably expect all my teeth will need to be extracted within the next 2 years, at most all of which I explained to Dr. Kim who listened attentively. I further explained I'd been in pain since Tuesday & presently had so much pain on the upper left side molars I was afraid my head wouldn't fall off. Additionally, the gums of my 3 molars on the left side were tender to the touch. She asked for her Dental Assistant to take Xrays of the upper two molars on the left side. After examining the teeth & looking at the Xrays, Dr. Kim agreed that trying to "save any teeth" is not a good option. Dr. Kim quickly agreed that one, perhaps both upper molars on the left side may need to be extracted & that the Xrays appear to show an infection inbetween both teeth. Only one tooth was sensitive to my tongue & Dr. Kim's instruments. Her prognosis was that the one tooth definitely needed to be extracted, so I was anethesised & readied for the extraction. I was pleased that Dr. Kim appeared to know what she was doing, no hesitation, no apprehension, she dug right in. I requested & was given a 2nd shot of novacane. Dr. Kim extracted the tooth in what seemed to me to be a relatively short time. She confirmed that there was an infection between the two teeth AFTER the one tooth had been extracted, but that it appeared the other tooth was unaffected by the infection. I wasn't given any pain prescription. Dr. Kim told me to alternated between Extra Strength Tylenol & Ibuprofen every 4-6 hours, however, I didn't need that much medication. For the first time since Tuesday, I went to bed sedated & slept soundly. When I awoke Sunday morning my mouth & teeth were back to normal, no pain, no sedation, no tender gums around the 3 molars in my jaw on the left side. I have an appointment on Friday to see Dr. Melanie Kim whom I consider extremely well qualified whose expertise I highly value. At that time we'll discuss options for further treatment. I was lucky to draw Dr. Kim on my unscheduled, EMERGENCY walk-in. I've read all the reviews for Spanish Springs Modern Dentistry. I noticed Dr. Kim has several favorable reviews dating back to 2015, which means she has been there for 3+ years, which means she is doing something RIGHT for her employer & her patients. At no time did Dr. Kim try to sell me on more expensive treatments. Shame on me for not including the names of all other "Staff" who were all courteous, helpful, & professional. I cop a plea of being in pain. I will update this review after my upcoming Friday appointment with Dr. Melanie Kim.

He passed my 'dentist criteria', so I made an appointment to come back for an exam and cleaning. The first available appointment was in early November, but they said they would call me if they had an opening. As it turned out, they were able to move up my appointment to late August. At this visit, they took a full set of digital x-rays, Dr. Vaughn gave me a full examination (no problems thanks to my prior dentist, Dr. R. Lapcevic) and then my teeth were cleaned. The cleaning as good. The hygenist was thorough, but gentle! Both Dr. Vaughn and the hygenist were very personable and answered all my questions. I think I have lucked out and found a good dentist.
