April 1, 2025 I started my journey of lower mouth reconstruction. I have been struggling with my…read morebottom teeth for many years. I can't tell you how many times Dr Coombs had to come in his office on weekends and other late appointments because my permanent bottom bridge came off and he had to re-cement it The last time I was sitting in his office on a Saturday after he just got back from Lake Tahoe. We had a heart-to-heart discussion and he told me it was time to take action. So it began, 10 months of treatment procedures, and all kinds of handholding and Support. Dr. Coombs is not only a very gifted and talented dentist, but he is one of the kindest and most compassionate dental providers you could ever meet. He and his wife, Dr. Brewer are the perfect team, if it's possible to have enjoyable dentistry, believe me they make it like that. Their Staff is amazing my hygienist Gina Spence has been cleaning my teeth for 23 years, that's how long I have been with this practice, finally, I have completed the process and now I just have a few adjustments, but my teeth are gorgeous. Thank you, Dr. Coombs for being with me on this long journey, I don't think I could have gone through this without your kindness and support and friendship.

I needed to have the root canal "redone" as it later became painful and a "second opinion" revealed one root was totally missed.

I had 2 bad experiences with Dr Kiggins first his assistant made a mistake with a temporary crown…read morethey had put it they had to call me back remove the crown remove some string or packing and then replace the crown. The dentist was not even present and the assistant did this work, I was very uncomfortable with this procedure. Second Dr Kiggins replaced the permanent crown with a crown that needed several adjustments as it did not fit right. He used his grinder on a few occasions trying to adjust the bite. It never fit correctly and did not feel right, upon consulting with another dentist it turned out that the tooth root was found to be cracked possibly from chewing on a tooth way out of adjustment. Now I have the cost of a dental implant which I have put off for a while as for the cost after already paying Dr Kiggins to replace this crown. Now off to get a dental implant.This was the worst dental experience I have ever had.

Since it was almost 5 p.m., both his dentist and pediatrician were already closed, but Clear Creek was still open. I called, sent over a photo as requested, and was reassured right away. The team explained exactly what was happening and let me know everything was okay. Even though I'm the patient, I was incredibly grateful for the care and guidance they provided for my son as well. Thank you very much for going above and beyond.

Why does a dentist require new patients to sign a "Non-disparagement Agreement"? On my first, only,…read moreand last visit, among the paperwork was a Non-disparagement Agreement. It stated that all disagreements would be handled in the office and that I agreed not to involve third parties. It was written very broadly and could easily encompass public reviews on forums like this one. I asked if the agreement covered public reviews. The staff said no. So I amended the agreement with the words "excluding public reviews." The doctor refused to see me. I've seen three reviews of his office that were quite negative. What is he afraid of?

I needed to find a new dentist as my old one of 20 years does not take my new insurance plan. This place takes all sorts of dental insurance and will show you a cost spreadsheet of the real costs so there's no surprises. The staff here is super accommodating and knows their stuff. The dentist Dr. Graber was friendly and let me know exactly what was gonna happen. I came in for an initial exam as a new patient. X-rays were done digitally and the resolution was so clear on the screen! They even have a super mini camera that takes a vid of your teeth close up so the doctor and YOU can see what's going on. He explained and showed me everything. I needed a new crown and a filling replaced. I was shown in detail on the screen what it looked like exactly and shown the cracks even on the old filling, so I knew it was really there. The filling was painless to replace and the crown was gonna be made right there in the office on this high tech digital machining device. No waiting a few weeks for a dental lab to make the crown and then come back again to have it installed. Ok, there's a $75 charge to do it the same day in the office, but that's well worth it! The crown went in easy, the machine took maybe 45 min to make it. I watched the doctor program the machine on the screen with a digital image of my teeth. My old dentist wasn't THIS high tech! I walked out with a new crown and filling and my insurance covered it all, except $75 to use that fancy crown making machine. Now I have cleanings scheduled here too. I like going to the dentist now!
