Wife & I have had problems in the past with some of the local dental offices. We did lots of…read moreresearch before making our decision to choose Academy Dental. We were very happy with each phase of our first day with this company. They set us up with their 1st available appointment that was over a month out, but put us on a call earlier list if there is a cancellation. This was great for us, because as retirees we could be available at a days notice. Both of us got calls to come in earlier than our scheduled appointments. Front desk staff were very efficient at processing Maggie & I as 1st time patients. The dental team makes the 1st appointment 2hrs long to do a very thorough exam. They want your input to get your level of involvement in the dental care process. The equipment they have is top of the industry standard. It gives the patient a good view of dental issues, allowing a more knowledgeable choice by patient & Dentist. We never felt pressured to additional care that wasn't truly required at the present time. We were given a break down priority list of items needed & told they would work with us on payment steps based on the priority list. Even given discounts on how payments can be made. I see them on Monday for 1st step in fixing some of my issues. We highly recommend this Dental Care Family

I am giving this location one star solely because the clinical staff who took care of my teeth and…read morethe initial phone receptionist were polite and kind. Otherwise, they deserve zero stars for their completely unprofessional front desk behavior and terrible management. I took a half-day off work for a 3:30 PM appointment. While I was already frustrated by being charged at every consecutive visit, I asked the front desk staff member, Cole, for a clear explanation of the billing. He gave me a completely cold reception. While we were trying to resolve a payment issue due to an expired card, I called their office line to find an alternative way to pay. While explaining to the phone representative that the front desk wasn't explaining the charges clearly, Cole interrupted and defensively snapped that he had already explained it. It was incredibly rude and unprofessional. While we both may have been having a stressful day, his customer service was completely unacceptable. Hoping to resolve the situation, I tried to schedule an appointment with the manager last Thursday to explain what happened. I was promised a callback from management that never came. Instead, when I arrived for my scheduled appointment the following week, I was told they had canceled my appointment and would no longer service me. While I respect that businesses have their own policies and I have no desire to return, their complete lack of communication and failure to address a customer service issue is deeply disappointing. My advice to anyone visiting this clinic: If you are having a stressful day, need billing clarity, or simply have questions about where your money is going--do not ask. If you question them or ask too many questions, expect to be dropped as a patient

I came in to have a bonded retainer repaired by Dr. Han that had been stable for 18 years. Prior to…read morethe repair, I did not have a visible gap between my front teeth. Within about two weeks after the retainer was reattached, I developed a visible gap between my front teeth that had not been there before. When I returned to the office, my concern was repeatedly dismissed. Multiple staff members were brought in and I was repeatedly told my teeth "had not moved," despite the gap being clearly visible to me and multiple people in my life. They relied heavily on a 3D scan they had taken two weeks earlier when they originally repaired the retainer. The scan generates both a regular image and a 3D model. They claimed the "model" showed a gap even though the "photo" did not, attributing the difference to saliva. I asked them to do a new scan and compare the images side-by-side. The new scan photo clearly showed a visible gap. However, they were never able to overlay the images, add scale bars, or consistently display the scans side-by-side. I was also given conflicting explanations about why they could not open the updated 3D model. The owner (Dr. Hand) said it couldn't be opened in that room specifically and we couldn't wait to open it in another room when it emptied out, while the technician said the 3D printing company generated the model and they could not access it directly. Even their explanations did not align. At one point I explained that the gap appeared to have increased from roughly 0.25 mm to around 1 mm. The owner responded that maybe it moved "microns, not millimeters," even though that is essentially what I had already said (~750 microns = 0.75 mm). She acted as though I did not understand the difference between microns and millimeters, despite the fact that I literally run a scientific research lab working with nanoparticles and microneedles. After over two hours of advocating for myself, I requested that the bonded retainer be removed because I was concerned it had been reattached in a way that was no longer passive. Once it was removed, they gave me a removable retainer made from the scan before the gap developed. They did not charge me for this visit. After only a few hours of wearing the removable retainer, the gap had already started to close. By the next day, it had essentially closed completely. The retainer caused significant soreness and I could not even bite into food normally, which further confirmed that real tooth movement had occurred. They had also told me that if my teeth had truly moved, the retainer made from the earlier scan would not fit anymore, which is simply not true and not how aligner systems like Invisalign work. Overall, this was one of the worst patient experiences I have had. I would have preferred a respectful, collaborative discussion instead of having multiple people repeatedly insist that nothing had changed when it clearly had.

Dr. Moore was very thorough, and my daughter felt the same during her appointment. My hygienist, Della, took excellent care of me and clearly explained each step of the process. I also appreciate the dental plan offered for patients without insurance--I used it for my daughter and found it very reasonable. For under $400, it covered X-rays, an exam, two cleanings, and even an emergency visit. I look forward to sharing an update after my follow-up appointment in August.

I was diagnosed with a cavity, he filled it, I had increased pain, then he filled it again, but the 2nd time with metal (without explaining the consequences of using metal). He reassured me, "if you have any issues with the tooth again, come back to me and I won't charge you". I thought he was being nice. Stupid me. I started having increased gum pain and could not chew on the right side of my mouth. Something felt wrong. I went to Copper Canyon Dental to see a different dentist. There, they showed me Dr. Moore's work. My tooth he "fixed" was cracked, part of metal he put in the tooth was rubbing against my gum causing irritation, and the tooth BEHIND the tooth he worked on was shaved down. The Dentist asked why did I choose metal and then described the work done by Dr. Moore as "sloppy". The issues I was having made sense. I was told I would eventually need a crown or the cracked part of my tooth was going to fall off. I tried to push it off for as long as I could which lasted 2 years. In that 2 years, I had to chew on the left side of my mouth, deal with frequent gum bleeding, and dealt with on and off pain on the right side of my mouth. Eventually part of the tooth was dying and my gum had severe irritation. I attempted to contact Dr. Moore several times and his office ignored me. I went in person. He wasn't there. I even wrote him a letter leaving my contact information. No answer. So here I am, writing a review to give you a warning. Was the staff friendly? Yes. Was the environment / ambiance pleasant? Yes. However, I dealt with 2 years of mouth / jaw pain, damage to my gum, and eventually needed a crown that cost me $1,096.

My (adult) son is a patient of Dr. Essenmacher. She was going to replace all of his teeth with…read moreimplants. It was a combination of All-on-Four and non-permanent implants. That was 5 years ago and it has been h*ll for my son ever since. The implants didn't fit him correctly, which they refused to do anything about. Most of his teeth have broken, with only some being replaced. It is so bad right now that he can barely eat. Did I mention this was a $30K investment. Yes, between the surgery that was needed to prep for the implants, the implants themselves, and Dr. Essenmacher's fees, we paid $30,000 for 5 years of pain and misery. Now her solution is to get implants made from different material. To the tune of another $25K! Oh, but she'll do it for only $2,500. Another $2,500??!!! She should be covering the cost since we've already paid for the implants. And the most disappointing thing is that Dr Essenmacher portrays herself as a Christian woman. That is what made me suggest to my son that he sees her for the implants. This has been a 5-year nightmare with no end in sight. Please save yourself the agony and see someone who specializes in implants so you can get what you're paying for. Shirley
