I followed Dr. Leppo to this office which is a lot farther than my last office was from me. But he…read moreis so worth it. I have a big fear of the dentist and I spent my first few consultations crying in his chair. The whole staff was so gracious and patient with me. My teeth were not nearly as bad as I thought but the scars from childhood scared me anyway from being able to just go to the dentist and not worry about it. Dr. Leppo made me feel as though I mattered and that he understood my fear. He made it possible for me to get my teeth back in order and I am so grateful. Now I look forward to going to the dentist even though there is still some fear there because I know I am in good hands and that he is going to take care of me! Even my husband thinks he is great because I no longer avoid the dentist and Go without a fight lol!

Let me tell you. My regular dentist has insisted for years that a sensitive tooth is "all good". I…read moreneeded a second opinion and Yelp lead me here. From the moment I scheduled on the phone (they got me in within 2 days), to the waiting room (I waited 10 min max), to the dentist and pictures, I was completely impressed. The dentist (the youngest guy) listened to everything I had to say, joked with me and reassured me they'd figure out the problem. Coming from a "traditional x-ray" place, I was amazed at the technology here with digital images of my mouth that I COULD SEE and the 3D imaging of my entire mouth that he let me look at. The hygienist was also very nice although she didn't need to do much in my case. The dentist poked and prodded to help pinpoint the problem. In the end, I left pissed at my previous dentist as I now need a root canal (gasp! My first dental work in 30 years!) Now, at one point in my life my dad made me wear a mouthpiece to protect my teeth during everything. They were the most prized family possession: all those trips to the ortho, turns of the key to widen the jaw, retainer after retainer. A ROOT CANAL on the family treasure?! I was terrified despite being a regular and generally loving going to the dentist. The day of the procedure he reassured me of my feelings, "yep, they are no fun," and proceeded to start. As far as root canals go, I think this one went pretty well. They seemed very thorough and knowledgeable on the RC. The molar took a little over 2 hours, including getting the final crown (which they make at the location during the procedure). Total cost before insurance was about $2k. I immediately made an appointment for my next cleaning and gave a big finger to the previous dentist!

This review is not for the dentist or her assistants. I saw Dr. Thompson yesterday for an exam, and…read moreshe was kind and thorough. However, I am frustrated with her front receptionists. I wanted to schedule my next appointment in October, and I gave them my insurance's coverage information that clearly states the appointment would be covered. However, based on some "policy" that the front desk came up with, they wanted me to schedule the appointment in November because they were worried insurance wouldn't cover the appointment. 1. I asked to see this policy as written, and the front desk told me no. 2. I asked to speak to an office manager, and the front desk told me no. She asked me if I wanted to speak to the other receptionist. I said yes. After being on hold, she did not transfer me to anyone and told me to go to another dental office. 3. I asked them if they could file the claim for me in October, and if insurance wouldn't cover it, I'd be happy to pay out of pocket. They refused to even try to file the insurance claim, stating their "policy" tells them not to. I understand being worried insurance won't cover the appointment, but I'm angry at the fact they wouldn't even try to file the claim without a good reason, especially when I told them I would assume the risk. I also think the front desk was unprofessional in saying she'll let me speak to another receptionist but then turns around and tells me to go to another dental office. I DO NOT recommend this office, especially to my fellow military spouses. Please go anywhere else.

One of my 6 veeners (one right in the front, of course) was the unfortunate casualty. I made a couple of appointments for consultations in the area, one of which was at Ballas Dental Care. I had feared that I would need to replace more than one veneer in order to get them to match, but when I spoke with Dr. Haines, he seemed certain that he would only need to replace the chipped one. His chill personality and understated confidence made me believe he was the man for the job...and apparently I'm an amazing judge of character and skill because the replacement he put in blended seamlessly with the existing 10-year-old ones. :) Side note: I also received my first ever filling at Ballas Dental Care and have concluded that the dread that I felt every 6 months that my cavity-less streak would end was completely unwarranted. The process was very quick and nearly painless. Overall, I love the staff: from the doctor, to the hygienists, to the front desk folks and would highly recommend Ballas Dental Care.
