Rushed and I feel they prefer a high churn rate. Patient care might not be too priority here

My family of 6 have been coming to this dental office for a while & have noticed they have been overcharging more & more through the years. I have dental insurance but they keep trying to add things that my insurance company doesn't cover, when my insurance company will cover another way of dental care that gets the same procedure done. Gentle Dental purposefully chooses the procedures that are not covered by the insurance & expect people to pay thousands of dollars because they don't do the procedure that is the lesser cost... read more

This is the absolute WORST dental office and if I could give it ZERO stars I would! They checked with my dental insurance while I was there. I made them call in front of me to confirm the services they suggested (a routine cleaning) was 100% covered because they have charged me in the past even though routine cleanings are supposed to be covered. They confirmed and did the cleaning. A few months later (as always) I got a bill. I went in and they said the insurance companies made them change from charging for Gentle Dental to... read more

It is a shame that they went to dental school to become shysters. I came in specifically to get a teeth cleaning which my insurance covered. The first words out of the dentist was to upsell and try to get me for a periodontal consult, which emphatically refused several times. Then I was told by the front staff what it was going to cost for my teeth cleaning. I walked out and called my insurance and was informed of my maximum copay to be much less than the quote. I would not recommend this place unless you want to have your w... read more

I have given this place 2 years of patience and leeway. I receive erroneous bills after each visit, and resolving each issue has been a headache. The staff assures me they actively work to clarify billing issues, however months pass and I receive the same incorrect bills in the mail without any follow-up communication. To anyone considering this business, don't.

I went there for a cleaning, they refused to give me a cleaning unless I agree to spend $380 for some unnecessary fancy treatment

By far the worst business ever, simply a dentist looking to cash in on people. Got extensive work done and had to go to another specialist shortly after for root canals due to the damage. This dentist and practice should be stopped.

I only started coming to this place out of convenience, since it was pretty close to where I used to live. I immediately changed to a different dentist after they started charging me for routine cleanings. I don't pay a cent at my new dentist with the same exact insurance! Gentle Dental would charge me over $100! They also started calling and mailing me a bill for a service long after I had stopped coming here. I'm still trying to sort it out, but they said it was an error on their end. It has not been resolved and the off... read more
