A heartfelt thank you to Corona Dental! I recently visited Corona Dental, now under the compassionate leadership of Dr. Travis Luke, and I couldn't be more grateful. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely cared for. Dr. Luke is gentle, clear in his communication, and incredibly thoughtful about working with insurance to keep costs manageable. I needed an urgent extraction, but because of an upcoming procedure, Dr. Luke took the extra step to contact my surgeon for clearance. I know that wasn't easy--my surgeon is notoriously hard to reach--but Dr. Luke persisted until he got the green light. When I returned for the extraction, he numbed the area with nearly painless injections and removed the tooth quickly and without discomfort. His assistant, Jess, was so attentive and kind throughout the process. In the days that followed, I experienced zero pain--truly remarkable. Even when my insurance denied part of the x-ray charge, Dani at the front desk went above and beyond to resolve it. In the end, I didn't pay a thing. This team is extraordinary. They're not just skilled--they're caring, persistent, and truly on your side. If you're looking for a dental office that treats you like family and delivers excellent care, I wholeheartedly recommend Corona Dental. read more

I scheduled an appointment and got reminders through texts, very convenient. The front desk girls are very professional and know their stuff. My exam with Dr. Slovan was thorough and he took the time to explain everything. And then I scheduled for a cleaning, the hygienist was also courteous and explained stuff as she worked. Didn't feel rushed at all. All around a very pleasant experience. Thank you! read more

This place is very conveniently located for me it is in my neighborhood. I was very excited when I found a dentist in Corona de Tucson. It advertised is that it's in Tucson but it's really not Tucson it's closer to Vail and the actual city is called Corona de Tucson. I have visited the office 3 times and twice yesterday. The dentist all travel from Scottsdale and Phoenix area and there isn't a local dentist in the office. However, still are able to work one in pretty quickly. The issue is unlike most dentist you can't get a cleaning and then visit the dentist they drag it out. I had to have that initial visit which is where they did X-rays and then you visit the dentist and then I had to schedule a cleaning which is what I did yesterday which was done at 8 a.m. and then I had to come back at 4 p.m. to see the dentist. This wasn't a huge issue for me because, I live right next to the dentist. it was not convenient at all. I can only imagine someone that lives in Tucson and traveling back and forth because it's advertising itself as being "nestled in Tucson Arizona" that's directly from their website. Here is why I am giving them two Stars it's a compounded reason and I will try to cover it as best as possible. I know how ratings affect the business and I really do take consideration before giving a business a low star rating. I hadn't been to the dentist in several years, however on my last visit I got all a good from my dentist in St Louis, Missouri and I just hadn't established a dentist here in Arizona. I knew I had a small cavity and my one of my front teeth. However, whenever I got my x-rays done the dentist Dr. Jared Slovan said that some of my fillings that I got when I was 13 or 14 needed to be changed over to crowns with a total of 4 crowns. It was surprising to me because I have absolutely no pain. However he is the dentist, I planned on taking his advice. First, I want to talk about his bedside manner he is borderline rude and I didn't feel like he took the time to go in depth about treatment options. I have one previous crown that I got several years ago and the total cost of the crown was $600 my insurance paid 50% my responsibility was about $300 from my previous dentist in St Louis. This goes into why I'm giving Corona Dental such a low rating compounded with the dentist being on borderline rude. The cost they charge is about $2,000 per crown. I couldn't believe the cost of the crown they charge for a crown which is about $1,500 and then they also charge for pens and something called a buildup which brings the crown to a little above $2,000. I most certainly was not going to spend over 9,000 on four crowns. So, yesterday I mention to him that I would like a copy of my x-rays because I wanted to price out getting the crowns done at my old dentist and other dentist. He took offense to it and ask how much I paid for the crown I have in front molar, I told him my cost was approximately $300, astonishingly he said something to me which definitely made me want to go elsewhere. He said $300 was about the cost of the crown that he pays to have the crown manufactured. I didn't respond with my immediate thought which was they mark the crown up over $1,000 plus the build-up and the labor that they charge. That is absolutely absurd. I understand each dentist office has an overhead. Marking the crown up so incredibly high is very greedy. Interesting when I was checking out from getting the filling and my front done, I mentioned to the receptionist about what the doctor said about the cost. She admitted to me that her old office they charged increasingly less then this office. She said that they have all of their crowns made in Scottsdale which is where the main office for the multiple locations they have throughout Arizona. I anticipated that the cost of the crowns risen because it's been several years since I had a crown but I definitely will not pay over $2,000 per crown. The other reason I decided to give them two stars rather than one , I really did like the doctor's assistant and I also like that dental hygienist. The only other complaint I have is my insurance covers dental cleanings at 100%. However, apparently since it had been several years since my last cleaning they did a more in depth cleaning and they charge me $90 for the cleaning. I didn't realize that until yesterday. The receptionist claimed that she told me about the cost and showed me a estimate. Yes, the estimate did have a dental cleaning but when she went over the bill initially what she said to me was the insurance covers up to $1,000 and if I used all my benefits for 2017 take $1,000 off and then if I went into next year take $1,000 off of 2018's. She said since it was coverage over 2 years we are in December she couldn't break it down until January. So, I misunderstood but it just was not clearly explained. So, I would recommend a different dentist. Plus, they mark up products way to high. Overall, Meh. read more

"One Pistachio too many!" I cracked my tooth eating a Pistachio, it felt like a razor blade in my mouth, I was very anxious about it :( My teeth are old, my fillings are ancient and big like the 'Grand Canyon.' As it turns out, I worried for nothing. I called on a Mon, I got in on Tues! The Staff is very nice, knowledgeable, and are 'great at Customer Service.' The Office is Super clean, too. Dr. Waite is amazing, so gentle and kind. He made me comfortable in the Dentist chair, and that's not easy to do! He is super proficient at his work & I was done quicker than I thought. I am very impressed with this Office, Dr. Waite, Gi Gi & Staff! I highly recommend them. It was my first great experience at a Dentist Office :) read more

Sadly, one of the worse experiences at a dentist office. We wanted to support local dentists, here in Corona de Tucson. Sadly, they are not patient-friendly. We had an appointent at 9:30 and the dentist was running already 30 minutes behind as they try to pack as many patients as they can in the shortest time possible. There were no reasonable explanation about the delay, except greed. The dentist saw our daughter for 2 minutes and informed us we needed to see someone else as they do not have the equipment. When I called, I told them what it was all about and could have told me then. No, instead, I wasted an hour, not to mention money, on a place that is not customer-friendly. It is a real bummer as we hoped to support local business. We learned from our mistakes and we will go to somewhere else where we will be welcome! read more

First time here and such a great location for Corona de Tucson folks. Small office but great customer service. I'm always weary of getting any services because you never seem to know the cost. But everything is discussed up front at a consult At your first appointment. Before any other visits they print out an estimated cost sheet that they save to your file and you get a copy. Care credit accepted. The front desk receptionist knows her stuff. Very happy with this office and will think about coming to get checked out more frequently now! read more

Just moved to the area and was looking for a dentist. This is located about 3 miles from my home (next time I am going to just ride my bike up there). I was able to get an appointment very quickly. Staff was very friendly and efficient. Quality cleaning at a reasonable price - I do not have dental insurance so this was important to me. Highly Recommend. Not sure what happened with Emily K and her appointments but my husband and I were both treated there and didn't have any issue with appointments being cancelled or not scheduled? In fact, they text you to confirm your appointment, text you to remind you of your appointment and call you the day before. read more

Dr. Slovan is GREAT dentist i would recommend Corona Dental to any of my friends or family. Tina and Gigi work as a team and make you feel welcomed! read more

Can't even make or keep an appt. Then they call desperately trying to get you to go in!! Can't make or keep an appt. I'm pretty sure you can't fix my teeth!! read more

I switched from my previous dental office to Corona Dental (Corona De Tucson) for just convince, as I had never had any issues with any dentist office, so I naturally assumed I wouldn't have any with Corona Dental (AZ). But I was wrong. Aug 2017, I had an incident while eating popcorn that ultimately due to one single popcorn seed, it caused so much pain, and soon discovered that the only treatment was to replace two of my back teeth w/ crowns. Going forward with this treatment plan, I knew I would have some out-of-pocket costs, but thought that would be the biggest of problems. I was wrong again. It took them almost a month to even start this process from the date of the original appt.(keep in mind I was in pain this entire time). Once the two 'temps' were placed I was told it would take 2-3 weeks for the permanent crowns to arrive. This isn't my first time receiving crowns, so I am fully aware of the process, but 2-3 weeks was a long time, I thought. And then all the problems just escalated from the moment the temps were placed. These 'temps' kept falling out. In fact, I had to make several PIT STOPS to the dentist, of which Tina made sure she expressed her annoyance in my returning to the office so many times. On each of these visits, a dental hygienist would re-glue/cement the 'temps' back in place, but they fell out again and again. When the temps fell out on the third time, I had managed to bite down just as it fell from the top of my mouth and as I was eating, and I bit into the temp crown and crushed it on a bottom tooth causing a crack on THAT BOTTOM TOOTH! The trip back to the dentist, I was told that I would need yet another crown, making it THREE now?! On that visit, they said it would be best if I just glued them myself at home when I felt like they were getting lose, and gave me a small little packet with glue, etc. Then when I was scheduled to have the TWO permanents placed, I received a call from Tina stating they received the wrong crowns for me, but to look on the bright side, "..... the THIRD crown would come in around the same time and I could just have all three done at the same visit." By now I am aggravated, as I felt like the bottom tooth cracked wasn't my fault. I felt like had they been glued in properly then that bottom tooth may have never been compromised. End of Sept (2017) all three crowns were placed. I thought that was the end of all this, I was yet VERY WRONG AGAIN. I had numerous issues with pain between two of the crowns. Going back to the dentist, where he stated one of the top crowns was moved (?!!?) WHAT? Moved? He was explaining to me that the back tooth will adjust/move depending on how it sits with the bottom teeth... he spoke dental jargon to me and I after all this mess, I just wanted it to be done with. Plus, I had no choice, either fix it more or have continued pain. The dentist used one of his tools and did some filing/smoothing, etc.. on the top crown, to help prevent it from hitting the bottom tooth more. But weeks later it was still very painful. At this point, I have already paid $1180.50 for all three crowns, only to find out that in order to completely resolve this problem, they will have to replace the original top crown AND ADD ANOTHER new crown to the one on the bottom. Meantime, they also stated that on a separate issue, I had a tooth that lost it's filling and it was best to have that ONE CROWNED as well. HUH???!!! I should have went to get a second opinion at this point, but thought the hassle to change dentist just to get another opinion AND Corona Dental still has to replace the top crown that wasn't done correctly (I will mention they didn't charge me for this one since I already paid for it) was not an easy task. So I just agreed to have the three crowns placed, and just this Sept (2018) I have had them done. It took 1 month of wearing the temps (luckily these didn't fall out) and multiple visits where Tina has expressed her disliking to the "Problem Patient" as she has made me feel. THEN... the bombshell; I get a DENIAL letter from my dental insurance, stating that there was not enough evidence, according to the XRAY's that these crowns should of been placed versus my teeth just being restored/repaired. I called Corona Dental and spoke with Tina, & we discussed the denied claim-I also expressed my concern that I have already paid $1888 (adding the new recent costs) and if this claim is not accepted I will have to PAY ADDITIONAL $2142 !!! Tina's only response to me was to remind me, "you signed a Patient Consent Form and that you should of read all the information." At this point, I reminded her that is NOT what she told me when she was 'going over' the insurance, etc. I requested the claim get re-submitted so I can change dental offices... and her response was "That is fine, I have no issues sending off your records, have a good day." She hung up. If you use Corona Dental, get other opinions before it costs you dearly. Lori M. read more

After one visit, I'm very impressed. The entire staff is very personable and engaged. Dr. Leavitt explained to me in detail what my options are, and why he actually recommends the more conservative (and way less expensive) treatment for the time being. He is the most knowledgeable dentist I've ever met, and the only one willing to go into such detail. He's certainly the only one who ever recommended a less expensive treatment! read more
