Are you afraid to go to the dentist? So was I until I heard my friend say I love my dentist. I thought I'd give it a try and that's when I met Dr. Ban Barbat. After not going to the dentist for many years, I discovered they have all this new technology. If u have anxiety about the pain - comfort is their number one priority - they numb you, give you nitrous gas and my hygenist, Allison gives me a blanket to keep me comfortable. I had many procedures done over the years and my anxiety has gone away. Please make that first appointment. Take one step at a time. read more

I was treated by this office for my TMJ. They were able to relieve some pain but with no long term solution, other than having their office do a mouthful of veneers for $50,000-$75,000. They adjusted my bite and now I am having other dental issues that I will need to spend money fixing. You don't even see the doctor when you come here, you see a hygienist and her husband. read more

I've been a patient for more than ten years and Dr Barbat is a great dentist! My company featured my som smiling picture in their marketing material because of the great smile she did for me. read more

After mentioning a sensitive tooth for multiple visits, eventually they told me I had a severe infection due to an untreated cavity. How did they not see the cavity after multiple complaints of discomfort and X-rays?Always pushing to do an unnecessary procedure to get more money. Extremely rude appointment receptionist. Came down with the flu before an appointment and was talked down to for having to reschedule. ZERO respect for life situations that happen. Save your time, health and money and avoid this place. read more

Exceptionally competent dentist and friendly staff. I had an initial visit for a comprehensive review of my teeth and a cleaning. In addition to the office being very neat and orderly, it is very up-to-date with a welcoming atmosphere. Doctor Barbat is very thorough and explains things well. The hygienist is great and does a meticulous job. The administrative staff is professional and all are very friendly. I plan to have additional dental procedures and I have high confidence in this Dental practice. read more

I was treated for TMJ over a year ago. After six months of treatment and not meeting their protocol, I was asked to not come back. I have learned that they have bought into the latest gimmick and will charge you and treat you for something you don't even have. Please learn from my mistakes and do not give them your money! You don't even see the docried, you see her staff! They claim your insurance doesn't cover tre, which it can if they bill it correctly! Do yourself and your jaw a favor and do not trust her !!! read more

WARNING: I went for a TMJ consultation, which, over the course of multiple appointments, included a diagnostic examination with multiple tests and a discussion of treatment options. After spending over half a grand for this consultation, I found out after I paid that the consultation wasn't with the listed dentist (Dr. Barbat), but instead was with her husband Joe Dindo, who strangely wasn't listed on their website anywhere - including under their doctors and staff page - until very recently. In fact, the archive.org Wayback Machine tracker shows that he was missing from their website staff list as recently as 6/10/23, long after he had done many such consultations in the name of the dentist. When my wife and I met with him, we found him condescending, rude, and impatient. He lacked empathy for concerns brought up. While the diagnostic appointment did seem thorough, we were shocked to discover their office charges $1900 per crown, which is 36% higher than even the University of Michigan dental faculty dentists charge for a crown, and 58% more than the national average crown cost. For an additional comparison, I found another neuromuscular dentist with 25+ years of experience in neuromuscular dentistry who charges 45% less for the neuromuscular dentistry phase 1 orthotic (almost half Dr. Barbat's price) and 37% less per crown compared to her office. Dr. Barbat's office markets very aggressively, not only frequently hitting you up with texts and emails asking for referrals, but also sending you letters in the mail. Office staff are rude if you cancel an appointment or want to hold off treatment, echoing sentiments expressed by other reviewers on platforms like Yelp and Google. This behavior raises significant questions about the office's underlying motives, possibly suggesting a $ales-based incentive scheme. The dismissive and impatient demeanor of Dr. Barbat's husband, coupled with several other concerning signs, points to a disheartening reality: the practice seems to prioritize profits over quality care and patient well-being. Their services come at an unjustifiable cost, demanding a staggering 36% more than even esteemed dental faculty dentists for similar treatments. This steep expense is hardly worthwhile. Their suggestion for us to pay for the inflated treatment cost was to take out a loan. I must also caution about a misleading diagnosis of a "locked jaw" I received by Joe Dindo, contradicted by opinions from multiple reputable neuromuscular dentists. This discrepancy hints at the possibility of scare tactics. Joe asserted that I had a "locked jaw." Seeking further insight, I consulted four other neuromuscular dentists for additional professional opinions, all of whom confirmed that I do not exhibit signs of a locked jaw. In fact, some even suggested that the assertion from Dr. Barbat's office might have been intended as a scare tactic. When I contacted Dr. Barbat's office to ask for clarification on what they meant by "locked jaw", I never received a call back despite a promise I would. Given this distressing experience, I strongly advise against choosing Dr. Barbat's office. However, if you do, obtaining a second opinion before proceeding with any treatment is imperative. Superior options for TMJ treatment, neuromuscular dentistry, and general/cosmetic dentistry undoubtedly exist elsewhere. At the end of my consultation with Joe, he proclaimed in a complaining tone that other dental professionals wouldn't spend so much time answering questions as if we should feel lucky he graced us with his precious time. This was strange considering that they insisted we have an in-person consultation going over the study results rather than a virtual consultation even though we had a multiple-hours-long drive to their office and the reason they gave for this insistence is so that we would have more time to ask questions. My wife is a generally agreeable person and gives people the benefit of the doubt, but even she was turned off by his overall attitude. I called the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dentistry (where Dr. Barbat was trained in neuromuscular dentistry) and spoke with a director there who recommended a different neuromuscular dentist who is more up-to-date on the latest training. I took the advice, and with this new dental office, the actual dentist met with me and spent more time than Joe, coupled with kindness, respect, empathy, more affordable pricing, and who in fact had better and more recent advanced training than Dr. Barbat, far surpassing the standards set by Dr. Barbat's office. In your pursuit of dental care, I encourage exploring alternative options for TMJ treatment or dental work. read more

Shoddy shady work, they don't know what they're doing here STAY AWAY. Massive inconvenience and waste of time and money.

Who charges a 75 year old man on a fixed income $52,000 for dental work? You told him the work was necessary and he believed you. And you charged him $350 for a $100 Braun tooth brush. There's a special place in Hell for people who take advantage of senior citizens. read more

I have been a patient at Dr. Barbat 's office for nearly a year now. Every experience gets better and better. Today, I had my teeth cleaned and evaluated by the Hygienist Amanda. Amanda mentioned she was new to the office. Her Knowledge and Skills were outstanding. I was extremely comfortable with their COVID-19 precautions. Thanks again Dr. Barbat for providing your patients with such quality and great atmosphere. RMT read more

I have been a patient of Dr Barbat since around 2017 and ever since I've been there I've had a feeling that the Business they're doing as far as Charging Patients is concerned has been unethical! I was Charged Thousands of Dollars for Dental Work and Cleanings that according to a another Dentist I never even needed. The Second Opinion I sought also told me that I did not have Gum Disease despite the fact that Dr barbat told me I did! Her Office also hasn't given me my X-rays even though they told me they Sent them through my Email Several times, I never Received them! I Maxed out my Dental Insurance for the Year last Year and I'm still paying off my Care Credit Card from all the Dental Work I had done! I think at the very least an investigation is Warranted! I'm not the only one with this Problem, she has many Negative Reviews Online from Former Patients! read more

I visited Dr. Barbat's office. my first appointment, the hygienist was thorough and did a gpod job but Dr. Barbat was not able to do an examination; they said she was unavailable. They wanted me to come back for another appointment soon but I work full-time and they could not accommodate me. Unfortunately, I had to wait 6 months until my next cleaning appointment. I arrived at my next appointment 6 months later at 7 am. Please note that I called the day before and confirmed this appointment. They said it was confirmed. I also received a confirmation text from their office the day before that my appointment was confirmed. When I arrived at 7 am, they told me that my cleaning appointment was canceled because Dr Barbat could not do an examination that day either. I was very upset. I left their office and never went back. Also, this office is very pushy and hard sell for you to have a lot of work done. My teeth are in very good condition. I have Always taken good care of my teeth my entire life With regular dental visits. I recommend you do not go here, not unless you have thousands of dollars to spend. Terrible experience!! read more

I had been a patient of Dr. Barbat's for a few years when I started questioning some of the practices that were happening with my teeth. Dr. Barbat felt that it would be best to eliminate all of my fillings and replace them with onlays, inlays, and crowns. For being a newer patient, I had believed that maybe my previous dentist didn't know what they were doing. I wasn't experiencing any pain at that point, but.... you know when you put your health and trust into a medical professional's hands, you expect them to be doing it for your benefit. So I believed what she told me, and I went on with the treatment plan. A few cases she determined that they required crowns. I had no idea why it was that bad, but I continued to go along with it. That was what led me to asking friends in the dental profession about the treatment plan that had been suggested to me. After realizing that what was suggested to me was not right for me, it was already too late. Half of my mouth had been ripped apart, my teeth ground down, crowns applied, and my money was gone. The office is friendly, beyond friendly to be honest... they were willing to do anything to make you comfortable. I appreciated that. However the time where I finally decided to do something about it was when one of the assistants had given me laughing gas that was too high for what I could handle. When I started to motion that something was wrong, they said that it would all be over soon, and to just hang on a few extra seconds... and by then it was too late. I had gotten sick, and it was not a very good situation. From that day, I never went back. The office got a sour note in my mind when I called to request my files to be sent to a new dentist I had found. They would not transfer my personal files, nor my x-rays to my new office. I had to go there in person and demand that they actually gave me my own files. But of course, I had to pay for that as well. It helped me realize that sometimes you have to get that 2nd opinion. read more

I had a similar experience as the other poor review by Ken and sadly will never be returning. I had an old, perfectly fine filling removed and a new one placed in along with a new cavity filled. I had a lot of pain and discomfort while chewing and of course contacted the office right away. I then returned a couple times after that for the same problem. Please note that Dr. Barbat is too busy to do fillings and I was assisted by a male dental hygienist which was fine but not what I expected coming there as a new patient. My tooth was continously filed down to align/fit with the upper tooth when my mouth closed down. I understood this because they explained that's what caused the pain and it bruised my nerves. Time has gone on and Its almost been a year, obviously it's no longer bruised but I still have the pain. Thankfully I have forced myself to eat on that side but can only chew minor to hard foods so it doesn't hurt my tooth. Now, Dr.Barbat did come in the 3rd time I stopped in the office and was not the kindest person you would expect her to be with seeing she had a patient in pain from a procedure approved by her. She spoke to me in a sort of demeaning manor as to it being my fault of some sorts for my tooth pain, that I chose the "less expensive" filling and because of that is probably why I'm having pain. I do not ever recall being presented in front of me a chart of different filling options, with different costs or anything remotely close to that. She had a very annoyed additutde and I felt I was wasting her "valuable" time. ( I also have a friend that goes here ;who will remain anonymous for hippa reasons, and has also commented to me about Dr.Barbats 'not so pleasant' attitude) I did have to call the office back after my 3rd visit because there was still no improvement after a couple weeks. I was then told that they needed to talk to the dentist and would call me back. They did return my phone call and let me know that Dr.Barbat said that they will take out the filling they placed in and put the more expensive one in. I had it by then and wasn't looking for more uncomfortable time being spent in that office or having the probability of that filling causing me pain as well. I truly did appreciate though the caring staff that I always spoke to on the phone. read more

Worst orthodontist around. BEWARE, the orthodontist has no idea what she is doing. They charged me thousands of dollars for braces. Told me it would be a 1.5 year process...3 years later (after they were paid in full of course) my teeth still were not correct and I ended up having to go to another orthodontist and pay more money to have them corrected. They were not willing to give me any type of refund even after speaking with different referrals I got telling her she did it wrong. read more

"If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to? I will certainly be referring any friends or family members of mine who are looking for a new dentist to your office. I don't think I would ever even change my dentist after visiting Dr. Ban Barbat! I came in here to get my annual teeth cleaning and to get a few fillings replaced. Dr. Barbat and her team made accommodation in haste, nevertheless the result of my treatment was A-MAZINGGGG! Her work is by far the best I have experienced and I can trust her to do more work in the future to get "better version" of my smile. I thought I had it, but it wasn't until I witnessed Dr. Barbat workmanship! Aside from her skills, staff are always courteous and very down to earth- I love these guys! Makes you feel so comfortable, it feels as though you came to a pampering session. The level of service provided by your office, and the great lengths to which both the doctor and the supporting staff went to in order to ensure my comfort were truly extraordinary. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Barbat's office she's an excellent dentist so is Doctor Shakfa. I needed two root canals and waited months till my insurance could kick in. The root canals were fairly painless and I felt such a huge difference once that infection was out of me! I was sorry I waited. I felt better instantly. I also like the office staff a lot from Kathy that's at the desk to Doreen, and the paperwork ladies to my 2 personal favorites in the office Nan and Anna. Thank you all for being so nice and making me feel so comfortable going there read more

Dr. Barbat and her staff are exceptional! My teeth have never looked this great! Dr. Barbat really puts her expertise and care into her patients. read more

Dr Barbat is great. She has an incredibly friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff and a beautiful office.

We have been patients of Dr. Barbat for many years. I recently had 2 crowns replaced along with another new crown next to the other 2. The procedure was painless, and the temporary crowns feel very good. Dr. Barbat is great, along with Anna, her assistant. read more

Dr. Barbat is the best!! Dr and staff are very caring and beyond friendly. Had to get 8 crowns redone all at the same time to fix previous dentist mistakes. Crowns look amazing! FIinally love my smile! So glad me and my family found her!,,, read more

I was a patient for several years before learning I needed several root canals following crown work. After many hours in the chair, a visit to the ER for severe swelling (due to infection) followed by more treatment I finally sought care outside of her practice. After consulting with several specialists it has been confirmed that the treatments were not done sufficiently and I will need to have 3 teeth addressed because the root canals were not done properly and 1 of the three crowns was done without a core build up. That tooth is beyond repair. Although the office is beautiful and staff friendly, I don't believe the practice is qualified to do the types of treatments being performed. I have made several attempts to discuss the findings with Dr Barbat but the courtesy was never granted. Don't be fooled by the confidence they portray - see a specialist! Your oral health depends on it. read more

Dr. Barbat is amazing. She is thorough and precise with her work. She is caring and personable. My questions get answered in terms I can understand. The office is truly state-of-art and the staff is very professional and kind. They have great customer service. read more

Finally, a dentist office that I actually look forward to visiting. Every time I go there it is a positive experience. I will be the first to admit that my teeth were not the best when I started going there, I have had issues due to the big network dentists doing production line work in my mouth. I now realize there is a better way, Dr. Barbat's way. Who knew? Everyone there is extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. As someone that has managed customer service most of my life, I can really appreciate when someone is doing it right. My teeth and smile are light years ahead of where they were before I found this place. I am rather surprised that there are actually 2 star reviews on here, but then again with my background in customer service I realize that people can be frustrated with their own issues and often lash out at others, so I suppose when it comes to their teeth it can be the same thing. It is a beautiful facility with all the latest technology to make your visit a pleasurable one. I even love watching the birds and squirrels in the park-like views from your "dental recliner". Attention to details will bring me back every time. We need more businesses that get it like Dr. Barbat and her entire staff! read more

I am so thrilled to have found a Dentist I can trust to do quality work. I had moved to Michigan 16 years ago and I was worried about finding a good Dentist. I am very particular and have high expectations for my dental care, not only for myself but my kids too. I was referred to Dr Barbat by one of my friends and I can actually say, I finally found the perfect Dentist. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Barbats professionalism and the way she makes me feel during my dental appointments. The whole staff is amazing from the ladies at the front desk to the ladies who work on my teeth. She and her staff do everything they can to make me feel relaxed during my appointments. I would highly recommend Dr Barbat for your dental care. read more

BEWARE! Do not go to Dr. Barbat for cosmetic dentistry! I lost my front tooth and hired her, (and agreed to a higher than standard price )to make me an implant crown because I was led to believe that she was an expert at cosmetic dentistry. WRONG! Well, it took six months and 4 crowns before it was even close to right. In the middle of it I was told that " I was taking up too much of her chair time!" Of course they blamed the dental lab but I hired her not a dental lab. There was no consideration for what I was experiencing, such as being forced to wear a perfectly grey temporary tooth for months. I cannot emphasize enough my frustration, inconvenience and time spent to "resolve" this. Yet, I was made to feel like I was the big inconvenience and was told they were bending over backwards for me. Never mind that I paid them a premium for a product that they could not get right. Lastly, the wait times were way too long. read more
