    Teeth cleaning

    I've been to several dentists over the years, but none compare to Dr. Highum. Truly the best! She is professional, gentle, and genuinely cares about her patients. Every visit is comfortable, and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend! The office staff and hygienists are very welcoming.

    I love everyone at the dentist office. They are all so kind and so positive. It makes going to the dentist not something that I dread.

    Took my 87 year old mother for a check up, Dr. Highum was so gentle with her. I'll definitely go back.

It was definitely a little pricey esp for me as a college student but I do feel like it was worth it. they also worked with us and our insurance which helped bring the cost down, and we were able to figure out a payment plan that worked for us !! the procedure was quick and everyone was really nice, careful, and attentive, especially with my other health concerns. also, the front desk, Isabella, was really helpful throughout everything. super thankful for how everything went

I did a lot of research before choosing a dentist, and when I saw how many great reviews this place had, I honestly thought it might be too good to be true... Still, I decided to give it a try, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I could have made. The team truly cares about their patients. They even remember everyone's name. (Seriously, how does everyone know my name?) More importantly, they recommend treatments based on what is best for the patient, not just what will make the most profit. I highly recommend this place. When a business has a Yelp rating above 4 stars and the number of 5-star reviews is dramatically higher than the number of 1-star reviews, that usually says a lot. In this case, the reviews are absolutely deserved.

    I came here last year because of their amazing reviews but I wouldn't trust this office too much…read more They were charging me close to 2k for dental work I didn't even need! Biggest red flag was when the doctor said he couldn't see on the x-ray if I had a cavity underneath my crown so he wanted to take off my perfectly good crown and disinfect the tooth. He said after 5 years a crown should be getting redone which isn't true at all. They were charging me 1,322 just for this procedure. Next, they were trying to convince me to get my bottom wisdom teeth removed. They said because it was creating a space which was collecting too much bacteria. They never asked if my wisdom teeth were bothering me, which they don't, and they were not even impacted. Very convenient for them that they were referring me to their sister office (smile builder) for the evaluation and extraction. Another high price procedure in addition to the 2k. Finally, they told me I had two small cavities and already scheduled me to get the fillings. That was 135. I told a family member who works in a dental office about all these procedures and she told me that was not normal and to get a second opinion. I went to a different dental office and the only procedure they agreed I needed was a deep clean. The crown was not even infected, it was just gum swelling and tartar buildup on a different tooth. The cavities and all my other dental issues would improve just with a deep clean and regular maintenance.

    Truly the best dental experience I've had! Dr. Akkari and his entire team took great care of me…read more I came in for an exam in expecting a procedure, but they made time to handle something time-sensitive and walked me through every step so I knew what to expect. I was blown away by the amount of communication and education, but also the compassion and care of the team. I was a little nervous and afraid to be honest, but they encouraged me, allowed me to take breaks when I needed, and really looked out for my wellbeing. Dr. Akkari prioritized my tooth and preserving it longterm over a quick or pricier fix. Thankful for this place.

    Update: 6 years later and I still have had nothing but amazing experiences for my deep cleanings,…read more6-month routine check ups and filings. I just had 2 small cavities taken care of yesterday and I went in there with such ease knowing I was in good hands based on my previous experience with Dr. Akkari. Once again, the whole process was completely pain free and I was out of there in less than an hour (the procedure itself was at most 15 minutes). Also, I cant understand why there are a few negative reviews about their receptionists. Rita has always been super sweet & I can't remember the other ladies name but they have always been super polite and helpful with scheduling, rescheduling, checking in & helping me get a referral to an oral surgeon. And as always, his dental assistants are kind & gentle as well.

    I have dentist hopped for years and years because I've had bad experience after bad experience, so…read morewhen I finally decided to go again after a couple of years, my hopes weren't very high, but man oh man am I glad I gave Riverside Plaza Dentistry a chance because they actually made this experience great. From the front desk service to the X-rays technician to the dentist Jia all of them were amazing and gave great service but if there's anyone who deserves their flowers it's Cody, the hygienist. I almost fell asleep during my deep cleaning that's how great he is at his job. He knows how to explain everything to where you know exactly what is going to happen next and you can tell he really cares about your dental health. If you too have bad experiences at the dentist I urge you to give them a chance.

The results are beyond what I imagined, and the entire process was smooth, gentle, and actually enjoyable. If you're looking for a dental team that treats you like family and delivers next-level cosmetic results, this is the place. I'm forever grateful!

    Today was my first visit to this dental practice. With Covid and everything going on, nobody can…read moresee a patient for weeks, if not months. This business is not local to me but in desperation to find someone to look at my tooth, I called them. A nice girl named Caitlin answered the phone and told me they were booked at least a month out. I explained my situation and after putting me on hold, she was able to squeeze me in for an exam within two days. She made sure to tell me they may not be able to perform the work needed right away. Whatever. At least I am moving in the right direction. She offered to email me all forms and authorizations so that when I came in, they could see me right away and not take a bunch of time with paperwork. Super convenient! I wish all doctors and dentists did this. I arrived today for my exam/evaluation at 11am and was greeted at the door with a smile (no pun intended). I did not have a mask and was politely told it was their policy to protect their other patients, which I understand. I literally did not wait more than five minutes until being taken to the back for x-rays. I had Rosanna take my x-rays and she had heard from Caitlin that I was very nervous but not to worry. She originally took x-rays of the tooth in question but decided we might as well go through and do x-rays of all of my teeth. I know they were really squeezing me in but they took the time to go the extra mile rather than have me come back for a regular check-up. She was really nice and efficient. I always waited for her to say "bite down" before biting down. Of course, I failed to do this at the end and bit her finger. I couldn't be more apologetic and embarrassed. She told me she works with kids all the time and has gotten used to it. I now recognize she saw me as a 35 yr old kid, afraid of the dentist office. Afterwards Dr. Tran came in and quickly assessed a cavity as well as two other ones. I knew there were probably a couple others but no pain meant no rush. He recommended we get all three done at one time to limit the visits needed or further complications of them getting worse. He couldn't have been more gentle with my apprehension when looking in my mouth. He came in almost immediately after the x-rays were done. That never seems to happen. I found this practice to probably be the quickest, most efficient, honest and above-all, conscious of my immediate need for help. I understand doctors that do this for repeat patients but to squeeze me in and I've never visited the office before? Unheard of. Not local but I would/will make the drive for this group anytime. From the receptionist to the assistant/hygienist, to the dentist, everyone was world-class. I cant thank them enough. I'll update with a review on how my filling goes!
