Current review: 2025 · 2* Original review: Over 14 years…read moreago. · 5* Do you know those upscale restaurants where the waitstaff create a non-intrusive, seamless dining experience? Versus places where some of the waitstaff are "so attentive" they're announcing EVERY arrival to the table, asking how everything is every two minutes? And you spend more time and effort attending to THEIR "service" versus why you came to the restaurant; to enjoy the LIVING of life? Post new management, and more specifically post pandemic, Saby Dental has shifted from warm personal interactions & the cheeky "marketing" of a warm cookie after each appointment to incessant reminder emails, texts, & calls, repeated requests for a review, and recommending seemingly excessive visits. (No dental problems, decreased build up, yet recommending I come in for cleanings 4 times a year!) I get that everyone runs their business differently, and even that some customers will appreciate these methods. To me, it feels more like I have to manage their way of doing business rather than them coming alongside me, living life. I manage my side of the fence by accommodating my anxieties and sensory challenges of going to the dentist. Now, I also need to manage Saby Dental within & beyond the four walls of their business, since they don't seem to consider how they impose on clients. It's more labour than I'm willing to put in for a business. No, I will not be your outsourced marketing team of 1, by writing you a review after every visit. No, you can no longer reach me by phone, text, or email. You lost that ability, when you didn't respect multiple requests to interact on my terms. I don't want to manage your incessant "give us more business" methods dressed up as "friendly reminders". (The cheeky warm cookie was far more effective.) I want to be respected as a responsible adult, not infantalized or prodded to do your labour (Even considering to engage or ignore is unsolicited labour I didn't consent to). I don't want to manage your doubling down, when you slip past my blocks via new email addresses and phone numbers. (When I haven't been back for a few years!) I don't want to recognize or feel like I'm being funneled into and down your business practices pipeline before, during, and after an appointment. Just see clients as fully human instead of business model pawns. I've communicated directly (multiple interactions) & indirectly (blocking, withdrawing business). It's still not enough. So, let's try this. I'll use a language that might have more significance to Saby Dental, and leave a negative review. I not only gave them 5*, back in the day, I told everyone, friend/stranger, how amazing Saby Dental was at every level of care and service. Now, I tell no one. Saby Dental was my dentist for roughly 20 years. While I've received quality cleanings & checks under Dr. Sandhu's management, I feel more like I'm serving Saby Dental than Saby Dental is serving me. Increasing my visits for no reason? Increasing all communications in frequency, type, & method? Requiring more forms of labour from me to manage your choices? Shifting from 'fellow human' to 'another number' mentality? I'm moving on. Particularly, when going to the dentist already requires a lot of self-care, self-management, & personal accommodations, I don't manage what isn't mine.

Dr. Sandhu is the first dentist to spend the time and work with me to do a full mouth restoration…read more After consulting with at least four other Dentists, I chose Dr. Sandhu, and I am glad I did. Not only was my case very complex and time consuming, he only has ever shown patience, understanding, and preformed meticulous work. He was also able to see me quickly when I was having pain and made sure I left comfortable. He is extremely kind and has taken all of my numerous issues seriously. His dental assistant and Hygienist are hands down the most amazing ladies I have ever met in my life. The receptionist has been extremely kind and patient with my numerous appointments as well. For the first time in 20 years I am not embarrassed to smile with my teeth showing. Amazing clinic and amazing staff!

I found Riverstone when I was searching for a mercury-free dentist in Red Deer. Their web site…read morementions the concept of Holistic Dentistry: Dentistry should do no harm, and dentists must look at the mouth, teeth, gums and jaws as integral parts of a larger, whole-body system. The health and structural integrity of the mouth both influence and are influenced by everything else going on in the body. Health professionals tend to focus on their area of expertise rather than looking at the body as a whole. Holistic Dentistry looks at the mouth and teeth as they integrate with the rest of the body. Along with being mercury and fluoride free, Riverstone Dental also uses cutting edge technology such as digital X-rays that use a fraction of the radiation as traditional x-ray equipment as well as ozone infused water as part of cleaning and other procedures. Riverstone staff are very friendly and I was delighted to be able to get a next day appointment for a cleaning and general check-up. I had made an in-person visit because of a tooth that was hurting quite badly. Erika handled my cleaning. I have some areas that are very sensitive and she was awesome. Most dental cleanings are quite uncomfortable for me and this is the most comfortable I've been with a cleaning in a very long time. Dr. Price is very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained what was going on along with treatment options in a manner that was simple and easy to understand.

When I booked my appointment, I stated that I didn't consent to any treatment that wasn't fully…read morecovered by my plan. After my new patient exam, I was presented with a bill for me to pay. When I reminded them that I had stated not to proceed with any treatment that wasn't fully covered, staff member Liliana said that I hadn't said anything that day and accused me of "playing a blame game." I don't appreciate being spoken to this way. I submitted a complaint and the reply from the Accounts Receivable Coordinator conveniently ignored that I had stated not to proceed with any treatment that wasn't fully covered, didn't even mention how I had been treated the previous day, and offered to submit a predetermination before moving forward in the future. There was no comment at all about why a predetermination hadn't been done the day before when I had stated nothing was to be done that wasn't fully covered- the email was focused on "clarifying how your coverage works" and absolutely ignored addressing what had already happened. Update: The Accounts Receivable Coordinator has now replied and stated they will be endeavoring to blameshift the situation ("we will be speaking with our administrative team as well to hear their account of the interaction and how they felt they were treated"). I told them since that was what they wanted to do instead of adequately address the matter, it was fortunate I had a witness with me that day and the matter could now be addressed through the courts.

I'm prone to dental issues have seen at least 10 dentists in my day while moving around. 2 stick…read moreout and one of the two is Dr. Moore whom is the best dentist I've been to. Takes time, takes care, great chair side manner and genuinely loves his job. I've almost fell asleep at the chair. I've been there three times. I'm a coating inspector by profession and while at bare minimum - fillings are like a coating. He takes time to prepare the tooth to ensure the "coating" sticks which is most important to ensure long lasting integrity. Aside from that, has great knowledge of the mouth. My freezing was starting to come out (inflamed tooth) he knew exactly what to not touch and still gave a perfect filling with limited pain. Literally took hours out of his day to ensure he did a proper, above bar job. COVID-19: office is very clean and professional. Top notch protocols. PS. Staff and prices are perfect. I randomly came across this place because I drink at Chillabongs down the row and couldn't think of a better clinic honestly, I also am mostly suspicius of dentists because time says 80% are horrible from my experience, however, Dr. Moore is highly recommended from an experienced row of Swiss cheese chiclets. Top 10% by math. Truly unexpected find in red deer. Enjoy!
