Met with dental assistant Chris and Dr. Matthew Peterson…read more I'm in New Mexico visiting family and my toothache has me in tears so desperate I found a dentist willing to take me on short notice. Dr. Peterson was extremely thorough and very caring. He was able to pinpoint the cause of the problem and clearly explain why it was feeling the way it is. As I am from out of state I decided to go back home to see an endodontist in LA. He prescribed the necessary meds for the infection and gave the referral for a root canal. Overall the office was very clean and nicely decorated. As well as everyone in the office was very professional and caring. The overall time spent is 1.5 hours

Over the years, I have lived in many cities and I have gone to lots of dentists. After a second…read moreattempt to find the right dentist in Las Cruces I found Dental Solutions. I have been going there for over 2 years. My dentist is Dr. Gabriel Trujillo who is very knowledgeable and professional in his field. In general this office is well run, very knowledgeable and polite team, impeccable sanitation, top notch technology. They have done for me crowns and a mouth guard on site among other dental work. I have recommended to friends and their experience has been excellent as well. On my way out, I also enjoy their coffee available in the lobby area. During my last visit, camera crew was taking some videos and photos of the practice so I was able to take a few during this time for this review.

I am the worlds 2n worst dental patient! gabby hays was 1st.! Whhen I walked into dr.Buriss's…read moreoffice I immediately was made to feel special by the front desk ladies,Margie & Kari. my appointment started right on time,Maggie the tech is the kindest and most considerate medicalerson I have ever met in mmy many many medical experiences ive had over the years.she put me at ease right away,explained what the procedure would be completely. Dr.Burriss was also wonderful and understanding about my paranoia regarding medical procedures. my problem was quickly and professionaly taken care of. I had gone to two other dentists in town,and after my experience with dr. burris and her staff ive finally found a dental home!

TLDR version: this dentist will try to get as much money…read morefrom you as possible, and will also make you feel bad about your teeth, and cry. Worst dentist experience of my life. Run. Find someone else. Longer version with details: I went here as a new patient knowing that I needed some help with my teeth grinding and that I would need a cavity or two filled. The dental hygienist was very pleasant, but I felt like she was clearly looking for things to ring me up for. It took sooooo long (I was there a total of two hours -- and remember, this was for a preliminary cleaning, X-rays, etc; I didn't have any work done!). The hygienist pressured me to get a flouride bath (not covered by insurance), which she assigned a student to do, and then the hygienist left the room. AFTER this student took the trays out of my mouth, she told me that I couldn't eat or drink for 30 minutes after. I had been in this office for almost two hours, it was lunch time, and I was parched and hungry. I was like, "oh man, that would have been good to know *before* so I could have gotten a sip of water, because I've had tools in my mouth for almost two hours and I'm extremely thirsty." I was calm, but firm. She ignored me. Things got worse when Dr. Burris came in. She was extremely unpleasant (I reached out my hand and she clearly did not want to shake it). She was gruff and grumpy. Not personable, no bedside manners... no manners at all. She complained about Las Cruces. She tried to pressure me into buying a TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR mouth guard for my grinding, and repeatedly tried to push some vague "therapy" that she offers to help stop grinding. She told me that my teeth were crooked and that nothing that could be done about it, and that it would only get worse. (I believe she was trying to make me feel so bad about myself that I would throw a ton of money -- which I don't have-- at any possible solutions she was offering.) When the hygienist presented me with their "dental care plan" or whatever it's called that they had printed up for me, it included unnecessary procedures such as redundant X-rays and an estimated THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS of work. And this is *with* insurance factored in. When I saw their plan, I started to cry -- which I have never done in my entire adult life of regularly going to the dentist. The staff was cold and awkward. They offered multiple times to "work with me" by allowing me to get on their financing plan. The staff even tried to get me to pay for future procedures *in advance!* Um, NO. I am so glad that I requested my X-rays from this dentist's office, and made a new appointment for myself at a different, more ethical, less high-pressure dentist's office, WHICH I LOVE AND WILL FOREVER BE A REGULAR PATIENT OF. Since I switched, I have had all required procedures done at my new dentist's office and have paid only several hundred dollars (not the thousands Burris tried to charge me). My new dentist fixed the "crookedness" in my teeth (which Burris had made me feel so bad about and told me "nothing could be done about") by simply polishing it down to make both teeth even -- this was such a simple and short procedure that she did not charge me. My new dentist recommended a range of mouth guards and did not pressure me to choose the most expensive. Instead of the two thousand dollar guard (lol what) Burris tried to pressure me to buy, I am using a $400 custom retainer / mouth guard that is comfortable and works perfectly.
