Desert Point Dental

I had made an appointment for my partner after receiving a flyer in the mail for special pricing on an Exam, X-​rays, and Cleaning for new patients. They made an attempt to sell him on a deep cleaning and refused to do a normal cleaning. They also identified one cavity, and gave him a quote of $ 1200 to take care of the deep cleaning and cavity. They reported his gum recession level (4 – 6) was irreversible. From what he experienced, they were rough with his teeth and mouth and made him feel uncomfortable for the duration of his introductory appointment.
Of course, after seeing a different dentist and seeking a second opinion, they actually found NO cavity, and performed the normal cleaning without demanding that a deep cleaning was «absolutely necessary». In addition, they found the gum recession level was between 3 – 4, and that it in fact IS reversible. We were compelled to write this review to share the fraudulent practices imposed upon new patients by this doctor and their medical team.

Olé Doc Bentancourt runs a tight ship! Excellent staff & expert care. You should have Desert Point Dental on Montessouri St. as your dentist. I go there, my wife goes there… so will you.

This office is like a bunch of used car salesmen. SELL, SELL, SELL. Upgrade, not covered by insurance, every single person tries to sell you something and they are very persistent. Their are better dentist out there.

I love them! I have been seeing Dr. Nelsen for about 5 years now. His office is professional, courteous, and clean. Hands down, the best dental experience I’ve ever had.

I went to this dentist office because Dr Nelson was recommended. However, it appears Dr Nelson no longer works there. Dr Betancourt now serves you. If you are looking for a car salesman approach to dentistry, he is your dentist. After looking at my x-​rays, in addition to re doing some of my filings, he wanted to redo both of my crowns in porcelain. I’m not saying that is the wrong move, because I honestly don’t know. Luckily I couldn’t afford it this year, because after just the filings, it hurt to floss. After the pain started getting worse, I went in, they took x-​rays, billed me, told me I looked fine and sent me on my way. Now the pain is getting pretty bad and I wouldn’t dream of going back. Giving one star is pretty generous, but unfortunately, I can’t do zero stars. The assistants and the person working the counter up front were really nice, but I went in with no pain and left with pain and that’s a bad trade in my book. Good luck to anyone who takes a chance on this dentist! Even though it is Las Vegas, I would recommend gambling on a slot machine over this guy.

This is the best dentist in town by far. I had a tooth that was infected and needed a root canal. Dr. Bentacourt numbed the tooth right away and his staff was very caring. Dont waste anytime going elsewhere. They are honest, caring and have great pricing

Amazing place! Dr. Chanell Parra and Dr. Richard Nelson are very good!

Love this place. Everyone who works there is very caring and helpful. They will help make your dental visit a pleasant experience

Love them all! I highly recommend this office for superb work and kindness. I felt completely comfortable and never pushed.
Dr. Nelson is also pretty good looking (which certainly makes for a better trip to the dentist).

They did a fine job with my teeth and everyone was extremely nice. They even remembered my name, by the end of my second appointment the office smelled of fakeness.
I felt like I was at the Auto mall! I have NEVER been to a pushier office then this one! Sell SELL SELL!
They basically went ahead and recommended invisalign at my first appointment and kept pushing and pushing appointment after appointment for it. I went and asked another dentists who said that my teeth were fine but I have nothing to lose by doing it. I know they want to make money but come on! They said my teeth would wear down and my jaw would suffer. I believe this to be true but I have never gotten that large of a warning from a dentist before.
They also offered me teeth whitening and to change out all of my fillings to white. It wasn’t because they were old, because they were just fine. It was because they can be seen. Basically they were talking about the cosmetic problems of my teeth. I always get compliments on my smile btw, so I was laughing in my head while they were trying make me self conscious enough to buy into everything.
I understand they offer all of these things, but I’m a 20 something year old who doesn’t have that much money to blow. A dentists first priority should be health, not appearance.
My brother went to them also, he is 19 and had braces around the age of 12. They asked him if he wanted a retainer made, he said he would have to talk to his parents first and can’t make the decision since they are paying. They said they would fit him anyway, just in case. My brother said okay.
Fast forward a few weeks later and my brother gets a phone call for his retainer to be picked up. It was around a few hundred dollars and my parents payed. They felt bad that they had already made it and thought it was maybe a misunderstanding on my brother part.
It really wasn’t, they just saw a window to make money and took it.
There are hundreds of dentists in Las Vegas, don’t go to this one unless your first priority is the look of your teeth and not so much the health.
The medical field in this country needs to re-​evaluate what they stand for.

Everyone here is very nice and caring. Dr. Nelson is great. I have issues with dentists, and pain during procedures. Finally I found one that takes the time to get me fully numb.
I STILL think they are great after having a root canal, and that says a lot.
