But didn't ask me. Talked to me like I was the wrong one. The manager was no better help. Even the follow up was funky! To be fair, those who actually did, in the past, work on my mouth were really good and professional with me. But front of house...no. There's been lots of ICE in my community through the winter. Brown people too scared to come outside! It caused me to miss appointments. It did NOT cause me to fail to care for my own teeth! This is what the mgr tried to gaslight me with. Sad. Pitiful. But had they examined me that day, they would've seen the problem that was beginning. Could've told me what to do. But, no. Goodbye to this awful place!

I have lived in this area for a few years and was reluctant to try a new dentist. I am so glad I…read moredecided to give this one a try. I have had a regular check up and a tooth filled. I saw Dr. Swanson. I have very sensitive teeth and novacaine hasn't worked for me in the past. They were very accommodating to my issues without making me feel like I was being a pain. Everyone I had to deal with from the appointment desk to the insurance person were fabulous. The only thing is they have several dentists so you have to ask specifically for the one you want and also the gal who assists him. They are very helpful with that too. If you don't then you will get whoever is on the day you schedule. By far the best dentist I have ever had.

Both had great experiences and the price was way more reasonable than Village Orthodontics. (My daughter had "phase one" done there.) I know Invisiline isn't for everyone, but if you or your child are a teeth grinder they will protect your teeth from damage. You get a set of super sturdy liners at the end of treatment that act as a mouthguard for night. Instead of a retainer. Mouthguards on their own are expensive, so we were happy to get four of them. Each one will last over five years! Dr. Montgomery is always so joyful with all of his patients! The entire staff is attentive and super friendly.

I've been a patient for 25 years and their staff performance has gone downhill…read more Pros: They don't try to do unnecessary work The dentist seems highly skilled, gentle and keeps up with new technology/treatments Free ample parking Cons: The last time I went for a cleaning/checkup the office staff was somewhat disorganized and slow. First of all I had to wait quite awhile to be seen and that used to be pretty rare. They couldn't find my dental and health records including meds I take and they had them. I had seen another dentist 6 months earlier who had sent over their records and Schara Dentistry wanted me to contact the other dentist to get gum measurements so I was all ready to do that (to my surprise) and right before I walked out the door they found them. They also told me I was going to have to pay out of pocket for the cleaning because my insurance only covered the 2 cleanings I had during the year (which is fine) but they were going to let me leave without paying until I mentioned it and then they insisted that I pay immediately. The person who checked me out was very slow and wasted a lot of time and didn't communicate with me so I was just standing there waiting and waiting, wondering what was going on. The new hygienist made me hold the suction hose through the whole cleaning which I've never had to do at any dentist before. They normally just hook it over the edge of your mouth and let it hang -- it was odd. Aside from the standard lecture that I don't brush properly she was fine.

I cannot say enough good things about Schara Dentistry! I had the same dentist for 25 years- and…read moreafter he retired I had a couple bad experiences and stopped going to the dentist completely. By the time I was referred to Dr. Schara, I was in bad shape (and learned that I don't handle tooth pain very well). From the first time I saw him, and every time since, both him and his entire staff has been wonderful- even though I am sure I am not the easiest patient to deal with. They have always managed to calm my nerves and keep me distracted from "the task at hand." I have never once encountered an unpleasant person in either office. Ashley and Deb both go above and beyond when I'm in the chair and Carmen is super helpful when it comes to questions and appointment scheduling. Truly- I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

My wife recommended this location to me since she has been here a few times and she detests the dentist. I knew immediately it would be a good place to frequent. From the time of my first cleaning and x rays including a consultation to create a dental plan that would meet my needs the experience was friendly and very pleasant. Lucky for me my needs were few despite my neglect and I was able to do the necessary procedures in two stages and they were able to schedule it within my desired time frame. I will say that it took me quite some time to get in a initial appointment due to lingering labor problems and a busy clinic. Also they accept most all the insurance and even have payment plans to offer if you are in need. Overall a great experience and they have earned me as a repeat patient!

They came highly recommended so I made an appt. odd times during Covid so I'm sure it was a different experience then before covid but they did everything they could to help ease my worries. I did end up having 2 cavities and needing a cap and it went smooth. The dentist is really smart and nice. The whole staff is. There is no need to worry if you have anxiety. They said my teeth even tho I needed a few things done they have seen people come in with way worse situations then I had that have missed one appt. it made me feel less self conscious about my lack of dental care.

A polite lady said that they had been on vacation and that she would leave a note for them to contact me asap. 6 weeks went by, nothing. Screw them. I went to NUVIA in Roseville and got it done.

Reading the reviews, I see this is a pattern for this dental practice. I came in as a new patient for a routine cleaning since I've just moved to the area. I was really excited to establish care here since it's close to me. I also was happy to have a lady doctor. My insurance is kicking in on February 1 so I wasn't open to any extra services quite yet. I just wanted to establish care, get a good exam and above all, a cleaning! I had made my insurance situation clear when I made the appointment and again with the assisting staff. Also, I didn't actually need more X-rays as I have them from my previous dentist, but they insisted. After all that, the dentist gave me a hard sell on 4 quadrant deep cleaning and a new crown (which I did need), but not on that day ... I didn't want to pay out of pocket given my insurance would be kicking in soon. My dentist was visibly upset that I didn't sign the expensive out-of-pocket treatment plan on the spot. She then spent maybe 5 minutes cleaning my teeth. Terrible vibe and a waste of time as I have to now schedule an actual cleaning somewhere else. What a disappointment. I think the dentists must have a sales quota. I will be reporting them to the BBB, the city and various licensing associations.
