Alpenglow's is $100 to start then $35 a month which gets you 2 cleanings and x-rays each year and 15% off anything else. My x-rays were quite the adventure. I gagged one time which is normal for me. But the very nice and well-meaning hygienist wanted to help. She asked for a shaker of salt. Someone else in the office said she had one. She then comes over with a test tube of "salt" to put on my tongue to distract me so I wouldn't gag. I was highly suspicious... so I tasted some. It was citric acid. SO acidic it burned. They told me they were going to put a stripe of it on my tongue! So glad I stopped them! Just putting the story here so you can also stop them because wow that would have been awful if I'd just trusted them and had a mouthful of citric acid I expected to be a quick shake of salt. Besides that, I saw Jennifer Montgomery and really liked her. She taught me how to unlock my jaw which no one has ever taught me and I've had jaw issues since childhood. She did a thorough cleaning and didn't diagnose any problems that weren't there which is a huge problem in dentistry. Glad I found someone I can trust!

Weeks ago I had my 2nd and LAST dental appointment at AlpenGlow Dental in Bend. Here is why I call…read moreit LAST: I chose AlpenGlow when I was having trouble with Advantage Dental in La Pine. They had staffing issues. Covid was to blame and having a dentist from Portland who had to drive during snow season didn't help. Reading the good reviews of AlpenGlow, I went for my new patient appointment to get my teeth cleaned there on May 25, 2023. Due to a series of medical emergencies I had to cancel the next cleaning appointments but I went to them on November 14, 2024 and left feeling sad. After seeing what was the X-ray technician, then dentist who did gum check (I thought she was the hygienist because I never had a dentist do this), then I briefly saw THE hygienist as she peaked in the room to say she didn't have time to do my scheduled cleaning as I "needed deep cleaning that would require two appointments". I heard horrible gum numbers I have never heard in my life. I later showed my daughter the estimate and she said it was the 2nd high estimate she heard from them recently. I'm in my 70s and I have had some long-term dentists. I miss the one who retired as he took care of me and my four kids for over 27 years. I know the routine. Most dental appointments have been good for me, but I didn't feel good about the last appointment with AlpenGlow. I felt hustled and I don't even remember their names, if they gave them to me. No small talk. I also wasn't even shown my X-rays which I later realized no dentist has ever done that to me. I was told the X-rays were in the other room I didn't get to go into. Other dentists would have shown them and explained my options. Not sad now. My teeth were cleaned in one appointment by another dentist, and I felt the way I have about the good professional dentists/hygienists in my life and I'm going to return there. Saw my X-rays, no rush. Merry Christmas to me--I saved over $900! So glad I got a 2nd opinion. I got a normal cleaning with the addition of a deep clean of two teeth, not four sections. I only had a topical to help with pain on those two teeth. This is the first time in my life to be told I needed a deep cleaning. I realized that it had been almost one year and six months since they were last professionally cleaned. But somehow I needed a deep cleaning of two teeth. A few teeth below needed a little extra attention but nothing like those two teeth. I have never felt the need for a second opinion but I'm glad I got one. The office of AlpenGlow has a beautiful vista, but I am not willing to help pay for it.

One of the best views of the Deschutes River in all of Bend is from the patient exam chairs at…read moreRiver Park Family Dentistry. I'm not kidding. But the view isn't the reason my hubby and I have been patients at River Park for the last seven years. The reason for that is the top notch dental care we receive from Dr. Ben Grieb and his staff. Including the patient chair side staff like dental hygienist Kathy, who does a stellar job of keeping our teeth clean and polished - we each go in three or four times a year to see her and once you've been her patient you see why she has a waiting list. Also, dental assistant Lorraine, who flawlessly assists Dr. Grieb when we need a procedure done, like a beautiful crown I just had "installed". Also the office staff, including Marcie who keeps insurance and personal billing coordinated and Mona who keeps appointments lined up and on the two occasions when my hubby had emergencies was able to get him in the door in nearly an eye blink. Front office staff make a big difference in patient satisfaction with a medical practice whether we all realize it or not. Another reason is that the office is both serene and bubbling with enthusiasm for patient care at the same time. That may sound odd, but you can sense it in the patients too, the good energy everyone seems to have about being there. And let's face it, going to the dentist is not something one looks forward to doing. But River Park slogan, "We treat you like family" really is borne out in the patient care. Still another reason is that the technology used for patient exams and procedures is all in place to provide state of the art dentistry. Not to mention the entire place, from waiting room through exam rooms is sparkling clean. That matters to us in medical offices. But in the end, it all boils down to how one feels about the dentist in charge. We have a lot of confidence in Dr. Grieb who has a high level of skill in dentistry technique as well as chair side manner that are the result of experience in dental practice combined with a passion for excellence in outcome. He is a top notch practitioner and one has the sense that he is completely vested in each patient's care. We appreciate his advice and the time he takes to explain options, we trust his expertise, and we are always extremely pleased with the quality outcome of his work. And it occurs to me, as I write this review, to share that something my husband and I both appreciate is that as a procedure is being done, Dr. Grieb explains what he is doing at each step. Great protocol to relieve patient anxiety, it seems to us! If you're living in Bend and looking for a dental office for top notch dental care, we happily use Yelp to refer you to Dr. Grieb and River Park Family Dentistry.

(Dr. Dondo has a CBCT scanner in his office, but he said that he only uses it when necessary. Well, if he had used it on me he would have found all of my infection's). But, what he did to my daughter is another story. She had pain continuously from a cavity he filled. She went in to see him 3 times when he finally said that she needed a root canal. It is the only cavity that she has ever had. When he said that she needed a root canal she got up and walked out of his office. Even my 21yo new that he was not competent!

I've been a patient at this clinic for 12 years, including with the previous owner, and have always…read morehad positive experiences, until today. I was scheduled for a routine cleaning but was turned away because I declined X-rays while pregnant. I understand that offices have policies, but I was disappointed there was no flexibility or willingness to accommodate my situation, even with the understanding that I would complete X-rays after pregnancy. Preventive dental care, including cleanings, is especially important during pregnancy, which made this experience even more frustrating. I left feeling unheard and unsupported as a long-time patient. I hope the office will reconsider how they handle situations like this in the future so patients can make informed choices about their care while still receiving necessary treatment.

I've been going to Seven Peaks for about 6yrs now, ever since I moved to Bend. I'd found them via a…read moreGoogle search, read their reviews, gave them a shot--they deserve my own review. I've continued to be impressed with the welcoming nature of their front end staff(while I'm waiting a few minutes first thing in the am, I overhear their am staff meeting--communication about the daily flow also chatter/giggling at the end--I know from my hygienists that the Dr takes them on team building trips even out of country! It appears their team culture is strong/tight), the friendliness/efficiency/memory of many of their hygienists (every 6mo visit they'll always ask me about something specific in my life that I'd shared last time--they must take notes!), the friendliness and quality of care from Dr. Chelsea (always making sure there's nothing else I'd like addressed). Their entire operation appears to be run like a Swiss watch, after my cleaning I check with the front desk on any payment and they're already telling me I'm good to go as insurance covers it. Easy peasy, in and out, always with a [clean!] smile. Can't ask for more.

I thoroughly researched dental options and landed here with Dr. Kapp and Peak because of the 5 star reviews. I went in, he looked around and couldn't find anything structurally wrong and asked if I used whitening toothpaste. "Why, yes, I do!" He suggested I switch to a Sensitive teeth toothpaste and it's made a wonder of difference. Fast forward to this past Monday; I had my six month dental. The gal who checked me in (sorry not sure of the name) and the technician Melanie-were both lovely. The biggest surprise was that the Dr actually performed the cleaning! Usually it would be the technician in my experience. I cannot say how satisfied I was with this dentist! (PS..they have really nifty and modern x-ray machines that make the process fast an less uncomfortable, and you are in an office with a door and not in the middle of a noisy practice that has several open air stations.) Sad to say, I am relocating to the PDX area, but sincerely am thinking of making the trip down here to see him for my next cleaning! Dr. Kapp and his office are excellent!

My previous Bend dentist (not Dr DiGiulio, obviously) took five months to get one of those old crowns fitted properly. This involved multiple temporary crowns and much discomfort and inconvenience. As you can imagine, after such an awful experience with my prior dentist, I was not eager to get that crown replaced. But it had cracked, so I didn't have a choice. Unlike my prior dentist, Cornerstone has on-site equipment to custom-fit a crown while you wait, and it completely transformed the process this time around. I was delighted and amazed by Dr DiGiulio -- she is a genuine artist and dialed it in perfectly in a single visit! I will never be afraid of getting another crown again... as long as I'm in Dr. DiGiulio's hands. One more thing: I'm a former management consultant for a Big Five consultancy and I've spent years advising on optimizing team performance. It was even more of a pleasant surprise to watch Dr. DiGiulio and her dental assistants work together. Watching them in action felt like I was being worked on by a single person who just happened to have four hands. I've never seen such an efficient team -- it was as if they were communicating telepathically. To top it all off, today I had my front upper and lower teeth rebuilt. Years of wear from misalignment had ground them down badly. A morning in Dr. DiGiulio's chair has given me a whole new set of teeth. I might not be a movie star, but I sure feel like I have movie star teeth now! My only regret: I wish I had switched to her practice a decade ago! If you're looking for a new dentist, I would srecommend Dr. DiGiulio and her team.
