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

There were days when anxiety, stress, and self-doubt seemed impossible to overcome. Thankfully, reaching out to Dr. Lopur changed everything.

This review is a long time coming. My dentist retired in 2018 and I went to Byron Wall because one…read moreof his specialties was TMJ. I had 5 abfractions, where a small piece of the tooth has broken loose due to clenching. Wall was going to fill the abfractions, but also wanted to grind my teeth to fix the clenching. I was told, "I just do a very minimal grinding, about the width of a hair, and it can make a huge difference, this allows the jaw to relax, and then you won't clench and cause more abfractions. " I agreed to only have the abfractions filled, and to wait on the grinding, but I was told that I would have to sign a release that if they did not do the grinding, then the fillings might fall out, and they would not be responsible. The fillings were horrible, big globs of material that were very rough and jagged. There was no way to floss as it would get tangled in the jagged filling material. And because of the grinding he did, now I was scrapping my teeth on one side of my mouth. I returned several times, and each time he said that more griding was needed. He tried to sand down the excess material on the fillings, but this was impossible to get smooth. Neither process worked. I had difficulty getting through to Byron Wall, he is very busy, and it is difficult to get him to listen. The clenching was worse, now I had pain radiating to my eye and head. When I chew on the right side, my teeth scrape tother on the left side. Then I was told, "Sometimes it takes up to a year of grinding to get things to be right." I spent $2,411 with Byron Wall. Now I had to find a TMJ specialist to fix the new problem created by Wall where I scrape on one side when I eat. And to fix the horrible fillings he put in. I asked for a refund. Byron Wall refused. In a letter he said that he had recommended crowns and that I had refused. Crowns for what? Crowns were never discusssed. He said he performed all that I had asked him to do. I left Byron Wall and became extra cautious. I met with these dentists: Alicia Abeyta, Greg Sanchez, David Willoughby, Wayne Luco, and Robert Supple. Everyone of these dentists said the fillings done by Wall would all have to be removed and redone. They could not understand why he would put such big globs on my teeth-- Willoughby said that one of the globs was like a cave--a place for a cavity to start. Robert Supple said that he can fix the clenching and hopefully the chewing problem created by Wall. He said that grinding the teeth before getting the jaw aligned and stable is backwards. I said that one of the reasons I went to Byron Wall is that he was named Dentist of the Year. One of these five dentists said, "Unfortunately people put value to that when a dentist can pay to be dentist of the year." It has taken a very long time to recover from the work of Byron Wall. I would have given zero stars if that were available. David Willoughby removed and re-filled all of the five fillings done by Wall. Willoughby said the standard is, "smooth as glass" and that's what Willoughby did. Robert Supple was fabulous had helped me tremendously with the clenching and scrapping one one side created by Wall.

I came to Dr. Wall in the summer of 2019 for cosmetic dental work. My teeth were healthy and looked…read morenice as well, but there were a few specific details that I decided I was interested in investing to fix. I had four upper and four lower teeth replaced in place of orthodontics and to fix a color-match issue on my front teeth. One year later, my teeth are finished. Although I'm happy with my lower teeth, my upper teeth do not match and were not aligned correctly. The bill for this treatment was $15,000. I left a phone message and sent two detailed email messages explaining what needed to be fixed. I understood it was a big hassle as my teeth had already been permanently placed, but $15,000 should get you a result you are happy with. To date, I have received absolutely no response from his dental office. At this point, my only option to receive a fair result seems to involve litigation. I would not recommend having cosmetic work done here.

My Mother got $12,000 worth of veneers at Dr. Kerschen's office. She was excited about getting…read morethem until the moment she saw them in her mouth and they were stained grayish yellow. She has bad vision and told him she just wanted them to be a pretty white, but not blinding. Dr. Kerschen didn't take the time to show her the proper shades, instead he sent her to the veneer maker and they gave her a limited selection of shades to choose from with little to no direction or consultation based on her wishes. Dr Kerschen completed all the work before giving my mom the opportunity to see the veneers in her mouth. The situation only got worse when she stepped outside and saw how stained they looked. Why would anyone pay $12k for a complete set of stained teeth!? She was upset, but didn't know what to do after her complaints fell on deaf ears. Within a few months three of the veneers fell out on three different occasions, once while vacationing out of state. Dr. Kerschen fixed them and appeared to recognize what a terrible color they were. On the third fix, he told my mom he would replace her set for her with the desired shade of white. My mother was very excited to hear this and did not end up complaining about how unstable the veneers were. Which must have been his goal since he never followed through with his promise. My mother may be elderly, but she has a family who loves her and doesn't appreciate when she is taken advantage of. The entire experience looks a lot like exploitation or opportunism at the least. We would appreciate it if Dr. Kerschen would put the white teeth in her mouth that she wanted and paid for. At this point we would prefer blinding white instead of what she got, coffee stain grey/yellow. How many other mothers has Dr Kerschen treated like this? Trust me, I'd much rather be sending them client recommendations vs a bad Yelp review.
