Saddle Rock Dental

I have been going to this location for almost 10 years. They have always treated me with respect and worked with me to get the best experience!

I went to this office as a new patient today and had a great experience! (You know,
as far as dentist visits go) I had x-​rays and a routine cleaning and seeing as I don’t have dental insurance it was such a fair price. The entire staff was so friendly and I’m glad we’ve found a good dentist office for our family!

I went to this office as a new patient last week and had excellent service. The receptionist was super friendly and I barely had time to finish my paperwork before they were ready for me! They took a ton of x-​Rays and did a very thorough cleaning. The whole staff was very friendly. When I called back the following day to provide some insurance information they knew who I was without me even saying my name!

Stay away from this place, the review before me is true. I had the same experience.
I had a filling done in this office that came out while I was flossing. I came in to get it re-​done. Just few months later it started hurting so I came in to get it looked at. The newer doctor said himself that it looked like Dr, Smith didn’t do the filling very well and that the cavity still existed underneath the filling and that I would have to get a root canal because of the poor job Dr. Smith did.
I got a root canal and instead of putting in a crown as they should have they just put in a giant filling which quickly deteriorated. Also they did a filling on another tooth during the procedure which not only also came out by ended up cracking my tooth.
Fortunately I have moved and found a much better dentist since who has also commented on the poor quality of Dr. Smith’s work and has been fixing all of his errors. This is unacceptable, YOU ARE JEOPARDIZING PEOPLE’S HEALTH and putting them through unnecessary physical pain.

I’m not saying that it was on purpose, but the evidence is not helping them. Actually, I AM. Prove me wrong, Dr. Smith.
Dr. Vern Smith renewed the filling in a molar that was bothering me. Two-​three weeks later it started hurting again, so I go to different dentist to take a look at this molar. He said the filling looked like it was 20 yrs old and was leaking — it was only 3 weeks old!!! He started drilling out the composite and found THREE OBVIOUS, UNMISTAKABLE cavities underneath! UNMISTAKABLE as in «a monkey could see them».
I’m SO disappointed (and disgusted) to think this dentist AND his hygienist [who filled the tooth after he removed the mercury filling] would purposely leave three cavities. Obviously, the evidence suggests that they were setting me up for a root canal on the tooth.
This wasn’t just a cosmetic error, this was MY HEALTH they were screwing with. Dental status affects the rest of your health (e.g., gingivitis can lead to organ disease; bacterial endocarditis, etc.). I don’t know how he sleeps at night.
So, choose your dentist carefully. A medical error is one thing, but total malpractice/​negligence is another. «UNMISTAKABLE!!!»
If you’ve had a root canal SOON AFTER they did a filling, now you know why. Hope this helps others who have experienced this with this dentist or before someone picks this dentist. FOR SHAME!!!
Hey, remember this, Dr. Smith?
«If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live an remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.»

I was thinking to not publish this review, but I’ve changed my mind due to the following.
UPDATE:
Just got back from the new dentist for a visit for my son (who was billed for sealants earlier this year from Saddle Rock Dental). SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE! Where are the sealants, Dr. Smith? F’N Bastard!
AVOID THIS DENTIST/​OFFICE!!! You’ve been warned.
