BEST DENTIST OFFICE EVER!…read more I have always had THE best experiences at this office (lol which I am sure you never hear about a Dentist office simply because of the reasons for going). Rita, my dental hygienist is amazing, it has NEVER been uncomfortable or feel like it's taking forever when she cleans my teeth. Everyone is always so incredibly nice and you can see they really work as a team. I had an emergency this past weekend and was able to reach out, got a quick call back from Dr. Samantha Ward, got an appointment the next day, met with her and some other team members and figured out the problem and took steps to get a casting done asap for a mouth guard. I would highly recommend the office to everyone! They also seem to take all different types of insurance which was good because I didn't have the best when I first went.

I've been a patient here for several years and there's a clear pattern of unethical behavior. Years…read moreago, I had a cavity filled that didn't hurt before but caused ongoing pain afterward. When I returned, they took an X-ray to address their mistake and then charged me $200 for it. The tooth still bothers me to this day. More recently, I was told they accepted my new insurance, had work done, and was later charged $500 because they "never accepted" it--despite admitting they knew that beforehand. They told me I was out of luck and that they don't work with my insurance because situations like this happen. On top of that, my dentist was switched to her sister without my knowledge, and after a routine filling I was in pain for weeks. Overall, this office is dishonest and I would not trust them

This is not a review of the dentists at Brite Smiles, Apple Valley, MN but is a review of…read moremanagement. My husband and I have dentalplans.com. He arrived for his appointment on Dec 12, 2024 to be told it was cancelled on Nov 1, 2024 because Brite Smiles had decided to no longer be enrolled in the plan. We receive no call, no email, no card from them about this cancellation. To further comlicate their incompetence an appointment was made for me just a week and a half prior. Apparently, the reasoning behind this decision was cost-savings. Well, Brite Smiles just lost two customers, plus those enrolled in dentalplans.com. Beware!

We had a horrible experience with my son who is difficult at the dentist. Dr Alamad was very…read morecondescending and had me restrain my child for an exam and cleaning. She implied my son doesn't like the dentist because I am not "strict" enough. She refused to use gas because "cleanings are easy" and said he just had to get through it. I am appalled that she is a pediatric dentist. She clearly had no understanding of how to approach children who are afraid. Our family dentist was more patient. We will never come back.

I am absolutely blown away by the phenomenal level of care and client education that I received at…read moremy appointment. I have never had such a thorough oral examination and I was so pleased with their high level of attention to detail. Samantha, the dental assistant, was friendly, highly skilled, and efficient. She has excellent bedside manner and explained every procedure in detail before and during so I knew what was going on. She took beautiful dental radiographs in a very short period of time, I was impressed with her technique! Dr. Picard was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. He started my exam by talking to me about myself and non-dental related topics which really made me feel at ease and definitely got rid of those pre-visit butterflies in my stomach! His exam was detailed and he took the time to ask me several times if I had any questions or needed further explanations on anything. Both Samantha and Dr. Picard went above and beyond! The texting feature makes check-in seamless! I really can't recommend them enough.

Have to say the dentist is great the tech I got was great but then I scheduled my 6 month out appointment, got it cancelled on me, which I get. Got rescheduled for a day that wasn't great for me because their office books out so crazy far and they barely can fit you in. Had to cancel because my son was super sick so short of me bringing a sick kid to the office had to cancel. Told them I would pay the 50. Tried to re book they said not until I paid. I get it. Put me on a cancellation list for appointments though which makes zero sense. Called me I booked the appointment which was great because I had forgot. Got told THROUGH TEXT my appointment was cancelled due to not paying and not having records from 8 YEARS AGO. Shouldn't this have been told me when I made the appointment? Now I'm out an appointment AGAIN. I get it. Ok. Got records from old place. Still won't make me an appointment because the dates were not on the paper work. BUT TOOK MY 50 DOLLARS - and all because they couldn't see the dates on the paperwork?? You have my records and my money. Ok. Called old dentist office back and said they didn't send what they need. That dentist office was like yeah we did also they told me needing those records to make an appointment was crazy. Agreed. So I called back said Nevermind. Super annoyed. Also out 50 dollars for a rescheduled on their end appointment. I just want to get my teeth cleaned since I pay for it

This review is for my second visit to BVD... (dun dun) TREATMENT DAY!…read moreThey actually called me the afternoon before my scheduled visit, they had a cancellation and wanted to know if I would like to come in sooner! *gulp!* initially I declined, but quickly decided to call them back and accept the earlier appointment. I arrived, shaking, nervous as heck! The receptionists and other staff members could tell I was afraid, and greeted me with warm smiles and tried to reassure me! My original dental assistant was there, Rebecca. She did a very good job of trying to calm my nerves, and it was reassuring that she was going to be there. I was having a root canal and I had never had anything like that done before, of course you ask people about them and you always ask the people that have had, unfortunately horrific experiences! My anxiousness was complete anticipation of the unknown! Dr Imanian and Rebecca worked very well together, they made sure I was ok throughout the whole procedure. I didn't feel a thing except TMJ pain from trying to keep my mouth open, next time I will take some nsaids before hand! Dr Galanis popped in a couple of times to make sure everything was ok. He also made sure I was ok after the procedure. The whole entire team was wonderful! I really can't say enough about them! I'm really glad I chose BVD to be my dental office!

I went during pandemic due to not many dentist open and had an issue with some of my bottom teeth,…read moreI had decided to get them all extracted and wanted to discuss implants instead of dentures, Got we will come back to that. The main dentist reprimanded a tech right outside my door and it was very unprofessional. Day of extraction appt, after 3 hours late for my appt, i asked if was going to be soon if not I had no issue rescheduling. Told will be in a few minutes. Another hour goes by and i go back to desk this time to just reschedule when said oh no she is coming to get you right now. Once in room waiting on surgeon and he and his assistant come in laughing but in a more sexual way, thought that was odd. I said i was ok to reschedule seeing as he seemed to be running so far behind. at this comment he was not happy, i said if running that late maybe ask desk to let people know and they could come back later. He got more upset at that and said " things happen" Honestly i think the thing was an adventure with the tech. After he was done and i was waking up, he rudely said i even left you impacted wisdom tooth in. "how is that". I was too out of it to even catch on before he left the room. Next on to 1st set of teeth which not going to say much about as too swollen to have any idea on fit. went back a few more times to adjust never fit good for more than couple hours before hurt again. Everytime they made my next set of dentures they used WAY too much of the goo and it made me gag. once time i started to choke and had to spit out the set and they got mad they had to start again. I asked many times not to put so much in, but never listened. Most times I was there it was like the dentists were more interested in extra curricle activities than my needs. I never did get a pair of good bottom dentures to wear and now I am looking to have top out and definitely going elsewhere, and will see about getting a new bottom denture done also
