Misaligned bite treatment in 5 Dentistry clinics in United States

Update: Despite my repeated attempts to unsubscribe, I continue to receive scamming emails and phone messages from them. This has been ongoing for years, ever since I stopped using their services. Will not recommend to anyone I know. Period. Huge disappointment! My experiences at LA Dental Clinic were mostly positive during my year-long visits. However, I experienced so many extremely painful deep cleaning sessions with one particularly hygienist, to the point where it caused me significant discomfort and PTSD. Growing up, I had never felt scared or anxious about visiting dental clinics, but after having my teeth fixed at this clinic, it turned into a nightmarish experience. I will never be returning to this clinic.

Listen! I drive a long way to come here and it's worth every penny. After comparing with multiple doctors near me they were the only people that I trusted at that price range for my Invisalign. The office is amazing and the staff is even better. If your brackets fall off they replace them for free. Everything in there is so high-tech and futuristic. Couldn't recommend them more!

The hygienist was great at cleaning my teeth. The dentist was great at explaining my procedure for Invisalign and the assistant to the dentist was very professional, nice, and help me feel comfortable. Overall great experience.

I'm terrified of any sort of work being done in my mouth and it's been longer then I'd like to admit since I'd seen a dentist but Dr. Cook and Ellie made me feel comfortable and confident in my choice to be there. Ellie is a huge reason I came back, she made me feel heard, not judged, she is so personable, kind, and sweet! At my first visit (11/02/23) it was concluded that I have to have a good amount of work done but Dr. Cook wanted to start with what was causing me issues first. My second appointment was today 11/09/23 and I had a root canal done and two cavities filled. Overall no complaints and all went as well as it could for dental work, the root canal was by far the easiest one I've ever had. Dr. Cook is a fantastic dentist. I'm excited to see my smile when all the work is done 😁😀

Dr. Cook and Sarah were fantastic, both did an outstanding job. Dr. Cook explained everything to me before she proceeded. I was very happy with the care I received and the friendly staff. Thank you Dr. Cook and Sarah for the fine service I received. The facility looks great, clean and bright l love the new look.

This was my first time at this office and I went in to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed. Getting an appointment made was super easy, and Sarah & Dr. Cook answered all my questions during my consultation and before the operation. The procedure was quick and easy and then off to recovery ! Want to give a big thanks to Sarah and Dr.Cook for answering my many many questions and making sure I was at ease before my extraction !

ALL THESE 5 star reviews are fake they offer to give you money off of products if you leave a 5 star review please do not listen they do not care about you at ALLLLLLL. absolutely worst three years of my life I was supposed to get my braces removed a year ago after paying seven THOUSAND dollars out of my own pocket. when I first started treatment there was a doctor who actually cared about his patients and would actually get work done on my teeth. this doctor left to open his own place which left them doctor less for months. he was then finally replaced by an extremely rude doctor who talks bad about the patients behind there backs and she was also gone for months. my teeth were finally closing the gaps because the first doctor had me on rubber bands but she told me to stop using them and stopped giving me them which resulted in my gaps opening back up and they haven’t been doing anything not cutting the wires when I ask not replacing the wire literally only changing my band colors and that’s all. so now that it’s the end of the year stupid doctor finally wants to care about my teeth and says I need six more months of treatment and to be put on bands again however I have to pay $600 more on top of my $7k which is all out of pocket. DO NOT COME HERE WORST DENTIST/ ORTHODONTIST EVERRRRR they do not care about your health. HOW IS IT MY FAULT THAT THERE WAS NO DOCTOR FOR MONTHS AND THEY HAD TO KEEP RESCHEDULING MY APPOINTMENTS AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY $600 MORE OUT OF POCKET please do yourself the favor and GO ANYWHERE ELSE I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF I COULD also they didn’t numb me properly when removing teeth that did not need to be removed then the nurse was very rude and yelling at me because I was in pain and crying. they are literally the worst place ever do not bring your children here do not go here yourself I promise you can find anywhere else will be better. also I went in for a broken bracket and they placed it on to be held up higher than the rest of my teeth and now my tooth will not go back down and I am at risk of chipping it please please please go anywhere else, IVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY KEEP SAYING THEY WILL GIVE ME A CALL BACK THE NEXT DAY ONLY TO RECEIVE NO CALLS BACK IM READY TO JUST SUE BECAUSE THEYVE ONLY CAUSED PROBLEMS FOR ME

This place is a joke! I’ve had them for over a year due to braces (wish I would of read the reviews first) ortho called me to reschedule me due to the orthodontist being out 2 months straight! I kid you not! I called letting them know my wire was poking can I get it fixed (the orthodontist doesn’t place wires anyways) so I don’t see why an assistant couldn’t do it or I couldn’t go to another location to fix the wire! I had to wait a month to get a poking wire fixed! Anyways, today I had an appointment for the dental side that I’ve tried booking a few times but every time I schedule an appointment I get a call that I need to come early or another day! I try to schedule my appointments around my work schedule because I work just like they do! I explain each time I tried making an appointment the times & days I’m available do they have anything available those times! So I finally got one that fits my schedule today the scheduler told me arrive early to fill out paperwork on the phone! Lol so I arrived 10:30 check in for my 11 o clock appointment front desk tells me scan the QR code & sit down so I finish feeling out the information & wait mind you it wasn’t busy at all 4 patients in the lobby finally after an hour of waiting I got up and went to cancel my appointment the lady ask for my info I give it to her she says new patients I said no I’ve been in your system over a year she’s like I have nothing pulling up I give her my birthday she repeats the wrong birthday back I said no and state my birthday again! She says oh they had you understand the wrong birthday. Um ok that shows me they don’t pay attention to the check ins for at least over a year & they clearly don’t look at the insurance card or id they take a copy of on first visit lol anyways she says so you wanna reschedule your visit for when you have an ortho appointment I said oh no I just called a1 dental & they can see me she said oh we don’t transfer braces I said I wasn’t speaking of ortho I’m speaking in regards to general dental! She looked at me dumb founded! By the way none of the employees look professional or happy to be there everyone looked mad & no one was friendly ! I’ll never return to general & I’ll finish my braces off & never look back!

My appointment was at 11:30 and I was completed by 2. I waited an additional 30 minutes for my daughter. Everything was professional and clean. The waiting room was pleasant as well. Staff looked great. One problem though. I had abscess and didn't know what it was. I'm sure the orthodontist knew. No antibiotics were prescribed. After my tooth was filled, I still had pain to end all pain. I prayed and God gave me the solution. To leave me in this condition without care instructions or antibiotics, is just cruel.

Aspen dental was great with my husband today he had a toothache so bad he needed to leave work. I told him that they take walk-ins he went and he was seen immediately within 40 minutes they extracted his tooth and he was on his way.They were so nice and quick to tend to his needs.We would definitely refer our family and friends here.

Aspen dental did an amazing job treating my husband wonderful, he absolutely love his new dentures..thank you so much in putting a huge smile on his face..

Do not go here. I had to cancel my appointments because my grandmother passed away and I had to travel. Somehow that turned into a $300 bill. My suspicion is that they submitted it to my insurance company wrong problem is when there was an issue with the insurance, they took the money from a credit amount that was supposed to be for future work reallocated those funds without my permission never told me that there was an issue with my insurance and now, if I don’t pay them blood money, it’s going to ruin my credit in collections so if you value your health, finances and your time, find a better dentist

I went in for a braces consultation and everything was great! The ladies at the front desk were helpful with any questions I had at check in, and I was seen by the dental assistant Nijah, who explained the entire process to me from start to finish. Dr.V came in and went over things into further detail, making sure that any questions I did have, were answered. This office is amazing!

I had a wisdom tooth extraction that took two hours. I should’ve known that my tooth extraction was going to be painful due to the woman in the next room screaming when she was having her tooth pulled. To add insult to injury I asked for a stronger medication that ibuprofen and they said ibuprofen was all they prescribed. Mind you paying out of pocket it was $357 when I was originally told over the phone widow tooth extractions are $125. I would avoid this place and definitely wouldn’t recommend going. I’m still in tremendous pain. I have a home not only where the extraction was but also around the inside of my jaw there’s a huge hole that was halfway sewn up.

I gave 2 stars for the effort. The dental assistant was very kind, however the dentist/dr lacked patience and empathy. I took my 5 year old daughter there for a filling, which turned into a disaster. I am still saddened that my daughter had to experience what she went through. Also services seemed rushed. I paid $130 cash, for exam and cleaning and the hygienist was moving as fast as Speedy Gonzales. I won't be returning.

I had top notch care with Dr. Alonso. He listened to my concerns and included me in the treatment plan. I found him to be not only expertly gifted, but genuinely a nice guy. I would without a doubt recommend him to any one needing dental care. Simply an awesome experience.

Top Dentist anywhere. It's hard to praise Dr. Alonso enough. Im positive there is nothing he can't do. Here is the straight scoop for Americans. Speaks amazing English so communication is simple. His website is set up so that if you follow and do what it says then you will be surprised at how easy everything is. The quoted cost was actually higher than the actual cost of my treatment. My cost in the U.S. and at a quality dental office would have been in the range of 25-30k. Yes.. no joke!! My cost was around 9k. In the U.S. the dental procedures, and they were NUMEROUS would have taken literally a year and im being conservative here. My time spent was 5 days in the office with a return visit in the future for the finished implants. Virtually painless....and the assistant was actually a Dentist as well and she was Fantastic. State of the art equipment....seriously my Dentist in Miami does not have this. I could go on and on and would be glad to assist anyone with their decision. I dont want to post my telephone info but Dr. Alonso is free to give it out at his discretion. Or email address. If you have never traveled to the Dominican Republic and are apprehensive...well don't be. I was picked up at the airport by a transportion gentleman that works for the office. Spoke English which was great because my Espanol is horrible. He drove me to an imaging center a few blocks away and back and to my hotel that was convenient to the office. Of course back to the airport when I left. The dental office will assist you with pretty much everything so no worries there. Santo Domingo is safe. Just use your head and stay in good areas like the dental office. Very nice area with a great place across the street to eat (or soup and a latte)..In my case. I can't wait to go back and finalize everything then do some hiking up north in the Jungle!!! Dr. Alonso is first-class, a dental artist and is doing a lot of people a whole lot of good. God Bless!!!

I work in the medical field and was hesitant to travel outside of the US for this treatment. I did my research and would see Dr. Alonso again tomorrow if I could. My experience was nothing short of spectacular and the results- WOW- I am complimented on my smile every single day, which means the world to me….a girl who never smiled because I was insecure that my teeth did not show. Thank you Dr. Alonso for your expertise, professionalism, kindness and for my beautiful smile!

Doctor Jay did an amazing job. I traveled from the USA to Santo Domingo for his services. I love my new look and there was minimal pain afterwards. I suggest his services to any and everyone. On a scale of 1-10 I would rank him and his services an 11.

Dr Jonathan Collado is the best and most recommended dentist in Santo Domingo. His high level of professionalism and experience makes him a top dentist . His staff is amazing and welcoming. Rosana is amazing, very sweet, and professional . I’ve had veneers done and couldn’t be happier ! Also had my family’s dental procedures and braces done at this clinic .. They have it all here. I highly recommend it.

Best investment ever, the whole crew is really friendly and professional. They made me feel like I was home.

DR. FLORENTINO is the best Dentist you will need any day, you will not regret going Dominican republic, we live in the USA Minnesota, and it cost a lots here for Dentist,we look up Google try other Dentists no good responses the moment we contacted Dr. florentino he responded give us ideas resort close by his hospital I mean he make everything so easy for us being our first time traveling there,at first I thought it was going to be difficult, but he walk us through.he did a great job., We actually enjoyed the place friendly people, very welcoming, we used the same time for our mini vacation also.our new Dentist family. Thanks Dr.florentino:

Dr.Florentino is marvelous from the beginning of reviewing the reviews he had on Google I automatically knew he was the dentist I had to see, from the first visit I advised him of why I came to him I came for RESULTS , I told him how much of my confidence I lost in my life of constant bad breath from poor dental work done before he found the root cause of the problem and gave me different options to choose from with affordable prices, this Dr knew his stuff and he meant business very friendly and well spoken. We finished my job in a short and convenient timing and all I can say is I have my smile my confidence back and I’m just pleased with the results. You want results you want affordable pricing friendly clean environment he’s the guy to go to!

OMG😍😍!!!! I can not say enough about how Doctor Florentino changed my smile!! He made me beautiful again, I now feel confident in myself in areas that I haven't felt that way, for a long time, I appreciate everything that he did, he made the process as smooth and painless as possible, I felt very comfortable with him and I am completely satisfied with my results. When I need to work in the future, he's the only guy I'm going to☺☺...

Best dentist

i had one of the worst experiences of my life at this clinic. i went in for chin and neck lipo and left after three hours of scraping inside of my face with no fat having been sucked out. their syringes all malfunctioned so they could not remove any of the fat. the doctor who performed it apologized and said "you wont see a difference because we cant get the tools to work" and suggested i find another surgeon that day who could fix what they did. the assistant apologized to me and said it shouldnt be like this. i was crying and terrified on the table as syringe after syringe broke while the canula was still inside of my skin and several doctors struggled and tugged at the long needle. i was humilated and terrified and just wanted to run away. the owner, alfred, refuses to take any responsibility for what happened - even though the doctor who performed it said i should seek another doctor to fix what they could not do, and apologized to me many times. Alfred made zero effort to make the situation right. i understand things happen, but his cold indifference and unwilingness to admit any wrongdoing was the final slap in the face after having to actually pay for this horrible experience. i would strongly suggest you run far away from this clinic.

The best dental clinic in Sto Dgo, the best service and top care!

I needed to make an unscheduled visit to a dentist whilst on my travels in South America. After some careful research and a responsive conversation with the Smiles Peru over WhatsApp, I choose to book my first consultation. In this consultation, they provided the most thorough examination I have experienced, with impeccable bedside manners and more than sufficient spoken English skills. Following the consultation I opted for all advised services, including a root canal, post, and crown. They were able to fit my lengthy appointments into a very condensed period of time to best align with my travel plans. I am extremely satisfied with the service; over the course of my treatment I was seen by no less than five dentists with each reviewing and checking the quality of the others' work. I couldn't be more satisfied with the final results, it is without a doubt the best my dental health has ever felt.

I didn't expect to visit the dentist while in Peru, but had a top notch experience when I needed to. I chipped my tooth on my plane ride into Lima and walked in the next day on Saturday morning. They were able to see me, assess and fix that day. Could not ask for more. Oh and the whole space is strikingly clean and white. I've never felt at a more clean and professional dental outfit.

The Doctors and all Staff at Smiles Peru were amazing!!! I had to have very extensive dental work done in a very short period of time, and literally was in the Dentist chair from 9 am to to close in order to get everything perfect before I had to travel. From Lab work, crowns , root canals , oral surgery, and much more , they were so professional and had a plan of action everyday which they succeeded at every given turn. Every single person I came into contact with from the door men, taxi driver that they sent to pick me up, to everyone else I came into contact with throughput the week , I can not express how grateful I was for their patience with getting everything exactly perfect!!! They were so kind and gentle and very concerned with how I was doing and all wanted to make my goal happen, which was accomplished on this trip! They also have very nice apartments that you can rent, right next door to their office so when youhave breaks to go eat , it’s right next door. Thanks again for everything!!! See you in 6 months!!!!
