Dr. Igor has always done an excellent job for me. His staff is professional, kind and very efficient. I highly recommend Avanta for all your dental needs. I have had 2 crowns put in and they have been the best crowns I have ever had. Thank you Avanta! read more

They refused to finish work on my implants because I had a temporary financial setback. I can actually understand that, but they sent me to collection for $7800 worth of work that they never performed. They never told me that they were going to do that. I had made a payment two months prior, so I wasn't "not paying". They charged me for 3 implants that were never done, (I am missing 3 front teeth now), whitening, which was never done and straightening my teeth which was only half done. They were nice, and I liked them, but stabbing me in the back like that can never be forgiven. I paid over $9000 for a bridge and the bottom part of the implants. But like I said, they refused to finish the work. I won't pay the collection agency. Not for work that was never done. So now they have also ruined my credit. I will be consulting an attorney to sue for damages. read more

The woman that check my teeth, the dentist was the worst ever. She was rude pushed me to this side as far as filling with me. I would never ever ever recommend this place to anyone. read more

Avanta dental is scamming people out of their insurance coverage! They don't even try to hide it. They quote one price, then bill a different higher price and most likely you are unexpectedly charged out of pocket for services they say are covered by your insurance. They are double billing, overcharging, outright lying (scamming customers) by what they do for how much money. Starting with the dentist himself, reception and especially their billing dept. They NEED to be shut down and sued for their fraudulent, unethical practices. read more

They did my mother's dentures. Thr dentures were defective and they would not stand behind them. My 83 year old mother had to buy a whole new set from a different dentist. The office manager never returned one of my calls. read more

The other day I received a bill stating I owed Avanta Dental 451.00 for work they had done. All the work listed except for an extraction was completed by my new dentist. Tried calling several days, finally 3 days later Avanta Dental calls me back, she didn't even know the nightmare Avanta Dental put me through last year. Months of distress over the huge gap in my mouth. I explained, Avanta Dental did none of the work they are trying to charge me for. It's really sad that they abuse people the way they do. Now it's off to small claims court because of their incompetence and total disregard for their patients. read more

I don't even know how they are even in business. Didn't install my implant right and it came out. Dr. Tawil and Igor checking her work, didn't know it after taking multiple x-rays prior to putting in the crown. This is after cutting my gums and going through procedures. How do you miss a metal post in an x-ray? Told me that it was my teeth, not them. Then I got a partial. It never fit right. I couldn't talk correctly. Their speech person said it wasn't right. Dr. Tawil drilled too deep in my tooth to hold the partial. I couldn't chew on that side, or it felt like my tooth would explode. Any time I drink hot or cold liquids, it hurts so bad I get a toothache for hours afterwords. Still. I guess they got tired of my complaining about the treatment I was getting, and they made up an excuse to say I wasn't a good fit. I also had to make sure they weren't over charging me constantly. Asking for an EOBs for every procedure and cleaning. They had to give me a thousand dollar credit when I discovered they overcharged me and weren't gonna tell me. Don't ever go to this dentist. You will regret it. read more

stay away at all costs. they will scam you and over sell you into a position that will become a nightmare. this dentist office top priority is not your health. there top priority is your wallet. they will do everything they can to over sell you on Invisalign, to the point that they down right lie. I was told my whole mouth would eventually be destroyed, if I didn't do Invisalign. Which is not true. And after I sighed up, extra payments were taken out of my account, and when I ask the dentist office about it. They were all clueless. Stay away from this clinic at all cost. read more

I've had less than great experiences with other dentists, but the folks at Avanta have been courteous, kind, efficient and helpful. So far, I feel I have received very good care here. read more

Beware of this place. Charged my insurance provider for services not performed!! I no longer will be a client of this shady clinic.

I left a review and the "owner" responded with a phone number included. I immediately called the number and there was no response and I left message. There was no option for me the respond back to the owners reply. The phone number that was left to call is 509-204-5756. The clinic's phone number is 509-457-5050. Clearly it is a different phone number. Just wanted to let everyone know that I was at their clinic yesterday from 12:30-3:00 just to get an x-ray and an exam. That is 2 1/2 hours. The kid and I mean the kid that too the X-rays subjugated me to a good 50 x-rays and could barely accomplish it. In fact he couldn't. Two other helpers came to get the job done and in a terrible clumsiness that they could. Aside from that I was told that the previous day that they would not need to get an x-ray since I was just at another dentist... "Creekside Dental" having done an x-ray and that Avanta dental would simply ask Creekside dental to send the x-ray as I won't have to pay twice. I rushed to Avanta to sign a release for that and I drove across town to do it. Avanta never contacted Creekside for the x-rays and exams to be sent to them. So not only the fact that all that was waste my time signing the release form, they instead subjugated to all the x-rays and massive scans.. for whatever strange reason after hours on that uncomfortable chair/bed that hurt my back. So why did I go to Avanta dental after having gone to Creekside dental? It is because I found out that Creekisde did not do implants and when I called Avanta, they told me, yes they do everything and the implant. So just folow me here: Guess what? They do not do implant instead they referred me to the same folks that Creekside dental referred me to which mind you is out of UnitedHealthCare network ( my insurance company). So in another words Avanta Dental lied to me that they do implant. They don't and plus subjugated me to all them x-rays over 2 hours worth of getting bombarded with more x-rays than I care to even think about. Awfull. But waiiiit for iiiit. After all said and done, the bill was over $433 and when I complained they told me that they will not charge me... Yes that they will not charge me for the day's work. Strange? Yes indeed if you ask me. But waiit for iiiit. I looked at the print out they give me. And what was the print out and what was its content? On the first paragraph was the charge of $433 and its date? Not on date I was there which was yesterday October 5th 2023 but the day before when I went to sign the release... the 4th of october, an hour after I left Creekside dental. Avanta was charging me $433 not on the day of service but the day before the service. That is the 4th of October 2023. How absurd? Strangely absurd. So in other words when they said that they will not charge me for that day, the day of service... I guess what they really should have said that they have already charged the previous day. How bizzare. It is bizzare alright. In the meantime they did not even talk at all about my implant and that simply referred to the same specialist that Creekside dental referred me to. And waiit for iiiit. On the print out they handed me, was a long list of all kinds of other thing that they will subject me to... and just what? Remove all my other crowns and redo them. About 3 of them. Remove 2 fillings and redo them. Do a massive deep cleaning and by then, all the dental insurance will be fully used up. THAT IS CORRECT. The insurance company covers $4000 maximum for the year and Avanta could have simply drained the money. In fact the receptionist gave me the whole cost run down and explained that the no money will be left for any implants. NOW PUT ALL THAT TOGETHER AND WONDER. I called UnitedHealthcare and took me an hour and told them everything and furthermore I maintain that Avanta owes me money.. for bothering me and wasting my time... and that not a single penny should be given to them. I was also treated with subtle dismissal as I began to complain about the whole visit and that all those x-rays, scans and exams were redundant and that why on earth they had no record and no copy of the x-rays and exams that was done at Creekside dental. Avanta dental told that it takes two weeks to get that. Another total lie and a fabrication. I went straight to Creekside dental and asked them after I left Avanta. Creekside dental told me that would have sent it right away. The receptionist simply laughed about the fact that Avanta never inquired. The lady at Creekside also told me about her grandmother experience at Avanta..... oh my. She said that they were going to milk her at the tune of over $30,000. PLEASE READ THIS TWICE AND THINK TWICE BEFORE EVEN THINKING OF GOING TO AVANTA DENTAL. read more

Val is one of the best Dental Techs I have ever had. Very Professional and extremely nice and friendly. Dr Tina was great as well!

Don't go here. The staff are nice but the business itself is a scam. I was looking for a new dentist after moving to Yakima and specifically scheduled a cleaning with them. Instead, they only did x-rays, which took nearly TWO hours. I was frustrated and annoyed to find out that they decided to schedule the actual cleaning for a different date and time, which is apparently a common practice for them. As another reviewer mentioned, most dentists will perform an exam and cleaning in a single appointment. It felt like a total waste of my time. Regardless, I thought the dental tech and dentist were nice, so I went ahead with scheduling the cleaning and a few fillings. A few days later, I receive a text from them telling me I have to pay $280 to "reserve" my appointment. They said their new policy requires complete payment before an appointment, if the appointment is estimated to take over an hour. Who knows when this "new" policy was implemented, because I was not informed when scheduling the appointment. A small deposit to reserve an appointment is understandable. But I have never had a doctor ask for **complete** payment prior to any services rendered and before my insurance was billed. It was a major red flag and I immediately cancelled. Don't fall for this scam. read more

Avanta Dental of Yakima - No thank you - General Dentistry Near Me - Yakima, Washington

See all

I have been searching for a dentist since I moved here from California. Despite all the negative reviews I gave them a call to see if they took my insurance and they did. When I arrived there for my initial appointment parking was a breeze and I was taken back by the outside of the facility because it's such a large building. When I entered the staff was extremely friendly and helpful and I was seated and waited for about five minutes. I was called back and seated and my X-ray was taken. I was curious about Invisalign so they also scanned my teeth to send out. I spoke to Dr. Reza about my treatment plan and asked several questions and he was very knowledgeable on everything. I really like how I was able to schedule my second appointment for my cleaning at another time and when I came back I was very happy that Dr. Reza was helping me again. I am so happy to start coming back every few months to keep up with my oral health. To summarize I want to thank Dr. Reza and Gabby for answering all my questions, making me feel welcome, and furthermore making me comfortable throughout both of my appointments. Thank you! read more

Do not patronize this dental practice; they will gouge you! I recently had some dental work done at Avanta in Ellensburg. Because they were open for emergencies, they got me in and I wound up having a tooth extracted. I later returned to have stitches removed and had x-rays. They determined that I needed deep cleaning which would require two separate appointments and Novocaine. The hygienist did one cleaning which took no longer than any other cleaning I have had - no Novocaine, all done in a 40-minute sitting. The office manager is insisting that I pay the full amount for the cleaning, which is twice the amount it should be. Incidentally, they also were supposed to apply fluoride which they did not. Run for your life and save yourself some money! read more

My name is Captain Adams, I had an appointment with Dr Ruba Tawil DDS. My situation was somewhat complicated. DR was very honest and to the point. I really appreciate her professional way of explaining the best course of action. Dr helped me in every possible way. I thank her and wonderful staff. It is so refreshing to see that there still people who care more about people than just making a buck!!! read more

Completely ridiculous. Every dentist I've ever been to in my entire life I've received a cleaning at the same time as the exam/x-ray appointment. Not these people. Their website says: "Contact us to request an appointment for a dental exam and cleaning." But they don't do cleanings at the same time. You have to make a separate appointment for that and I am SO annoyed I am never going back to these people. The girl who did my x-rays left the room without a word. I yanked off my bib and left myself. Ridiculous. read more

Went there to get a cavity filled. She did a horrible job. It hurts worse than it did and was over filled, so now damaging other teeth. Currently looking for a dentist to fix what happened there. I would never go back again. read more

Best place ever! I got a tour and was offered a beverage while we waited Dr.McDonald is extremely great at what she does. Her assistant, Roger was attentive to my needs. The assistant had everything ready for the Doctor to walk in. Always felt calm with how everything sailed smoothly!! read more

I wouldn't go there if it was free they don't care about you just money I don't know how people work for awful place --I don't

The service at Avanta was good, the only complain i have is the terribly LOUD music playing in a building with horrible acoustics. Wood floors carry the sound of clomping heals that echoes through open spaces, voices and the sound of drills add to the sense of chaos. It is not the least bit calm or relaxing. Every time I went I asked for music to be softened ,but no change. It was unnerving, won't be going back. read more

My father went here and had a brief exam for a tooth that was hurting and was told he needed two fillings and a tooth pulled. I went with him for a more more comprehensive exam. Then dentist spoke to the assitant about each tooth. The dentist left and never came back to explain what she found Or how much it would be. The assistant took us to the front desk and presented a $2,300 bill and said this is what "it" will cost. What will cost? Four cleanings totaling $1,800 and a bunch of other stuff that did not include pulling the tooth! it would be nice to be treated like a person and actually have work explained instead of throwing a $2300.00 bill thrown at you. read more

As an addenda to my earlier review, to date Avanta Dental has not forwarded my records and x-rays to my regular dentist. I have made two requests for records transfer and it has not happened. I did receive a large bill, though. Still charging me for two appointments when the mediocre work was done in one. Steer clear of this dental practice! read more
