    Christmas card I get each year!
    Erika D.

    I wish there was a superstar rating so I could more accurately express just how amazing Dr Rivera and her entire staff are - 5 stars is barely enough to scratch the surface. Let me put this review into context a bit - I have been to 6 different dentists and Mountain View Dental is my 7th and not all of those were horrible. In fact some were great. But not one was absolutely exceptional the way this office is. I have extremely sensitive teeth and gum recession which causes pain even when I am brushing my teeth or breathing in cold air, causing the need for a lot more patience and precision for the folks at a dental office working on my teeth. Most dentists are more concerned about patient throughput than actually taking care to not cause unnecessary pain with the extra time it takes. But not here - Dr Rivera and her staff are so gentle and comforting I almost feel like I am going to a spa. I have never felt more well cared for then at this office. They provide soft, cozy blankets, tell light hearted stories to keep my mind off the procedure, and put on good TV shows even though I am too nervous (read - uncontrollably crying from anxiety and nerves) to open my eyes to watch them. They don't shame me for this as other dentists have done - they just make it as quick and easy as possible to take good care of my teeth. If you are looking for a new dentist, a second opinion, or simply want to experience the way going to the dentist should be, I cant recommend this office enough.

While I was out of town on July 12, 2026, I developed severe pain on the lower right side of my mouth. As soon as I returned, I scheduled an emergency appointment for July 15. I also had a previously scheduled deep cleaning appointment for July 16. During my emergency visit, the female dentist appeared to minimize my concerns. Instead of focusing on the area where I was experiencing pain, she asked whether I had seen an endodontist for a referral from a year earlier and questioned a shadow in my gums that had existed for over 30 years on the opposite side of my mouth. I requested X-rays, and a 360-degree scan was performed. After reviewing the images, she told me everything looked fine, that I had no cavities, gave me Sensodyne toothpaste for tooth sensitivity, and said I was cleared to proceed with my deep cleaning the following day. Later that same day, the office coordinator called and told me they wanted me to see the endodontist before my cleaning. I went to the appointment, and within five minutes the endodontist identified a cavity. My primary dentist confirmed the finding and recommended that my wisdom tooth be extracted. I was extremely upset that my condition had been missed during my emergency visit. I asked to speak with the female dentist who had evaluated me, but she was unavailable. I scheduled the extraction for July 17, 2026. Because I had previously had a successful experience using nitrous oxide during another tooth extraction, I requested it again to help manage my anxiety. I was numbed for the procedure and was told I was receiving nitrous oxide, but I never felt its effects. I noticed the dental assistant was on the phone for much of the procedure, and it appeared that no one ensured the nasal cannula was properly positioned. I informed both the oral surgeon and the assistant that I did not feel like I was receiving the nitrous oxide, but my concerns were dismissed. I remained anxious throughout the procedure, and the extraction was ultimately unsuccessful. I left the office emotional, traumatized, and deeply disappointed. This was the worst dental experience I have ever had. As healthcare providers, listening to patients is essential. I repeatedly expressed my concerns and felt they were ignored every step of the way. I will not be returning to this office. I also plan to verify that my insurance was not billed for procedures that were not completed, including the deep cleaning and the unsuccessful tooth extraction. I hope this review encourages the office to improve communication, patient care, and attention to patient concerns so that others do not have a similar experience.

The check in process was smooth however what happened after is what was disappointing. Dr.Morales was a terrible doctor and was very unkind. The hygienist was great so I decided to come back. I was happy to hear that Dr.Morales was no longer there. I refused to have x rays done again since we had billing issues before. They let me get seen but said next time I'd have to do them. The cleaning with the hygienist was good. I paid out of pocket for some services not covered but was disappointed that after the appointment I was charged more money. They're fraudulently charging insurance. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and called to get an explanation and was told I would get a call back. Still waiting for that call for over a month. Then today I get another bill. FRAUDS! Do not go to this dentist office. If they have any good reviews I am sure they were persuaded with something to do so.

After months of pain, calling the dentist they finally made an appt and the Endodontist said her tooth was UNSAVABLE and she had to get it taken out!!!!! So she lost her permanent tooth and of course they wanted her to get an implant. Her other root canal never got a crown either. After months of waiting for it , on the day she was suppose to get her crown Upland Dental cancelled her appointment and said they could no longer see her!!! These people are the most unprofessional people/business I have ever seen. They wanted to do thousands of dollars of unnecessary stuff of which I said "No we will just get necessary things done first. Wow, FRAUD ALERT.

Not until he was actually at the procedure did they realize they almost performed work on the incorrect person. For me personally, all of the "fills" they gave me started leaking within the first few years. Fills shouldn't go bad that quickly! My new dentist confirmed the work that was performed was sloppy and bad. The kicker of it all? They purposely bill incorrectly. Again, my whole family used to go to this dentist. How did all of us receive an incorrect bill at some point in time? This dentist is just out for money and it shows! Any little tiny thing you have, they want to perform work to get the money, even if not necessary. They are shady and not transparent whatsoever. I am so glad my entire family and I finally left them and found a much better practice down the street.

The package came with a few follow up visits and if any revision is needed he includes that too. Besides the numbing the procedure was painless and recovery was not more painful that what is expected. Recovery does kinda suck but is worth it and the bulk of the pain goes away in 1 week. He uses a lazer to do the frenectomy and I believe this helped me heal so well. If you need a dental procedure of any kind I highly recommend him. Dr Mand is the Man!
