Honestly, I'm not a big fan of "The Dentist" - who really is? I had a lot of dental work done as a…read morekid (yikes) and therefore got in a bad habit of not going to the dentist as an adult, because I was "over it". After going to 4 different places up here over the last few years, and finally landing on Apple Valley Dental, I can truly say this is the best service I've had in the field. The first cleaning I had was the best I've had in a LONG time, and the progress I've made with cavities being filled has gone smoothly with Dr. Kim and team. I'm very glad I was referred to this place and they got me in right away. In my opinion, they're the best dental facility in the high desert.

It truly feels welcoming from the moment you walk in. The hygienists are incredible: kind, patient, and thorough. I always feel comfortable and at ease, which says a lot because I used to despise going to the dentist (I avoided it for probably 15 years... yikes). This office completely changed that for me. The space itself is ultra-modern, beautiful, and spotless, but more importantly, the quality of care is truly top-notch. Dr. Kim is clearly very busy and successful, yet he is so approachable, down-to-earth, and genuinely caring. He takes the time to explain things and makes you feel valued--not rushed. I also really appreciate that he lives and works in the community he serves, which is one of the many reasons I continue to support--and enthusiastically recommend--his practice. I rave about this office to anyone who will listen. If you're looking for exceptional dental care in an environment that feels comfortable and personal, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend.

Over that time, I had 2 other dentists two me I didn't need crowns, that filings were sufficient. So, I had someone else do fillings. He seemed irritated when I told him this.

Glenn Dental is located in a beautiful, uniquely mirrored building in Apple Valley (with another…read moreoffice in California City). The architecture is beautiful, and the parking lot is large and accommodating. The entrance is accessible with a wide ramp and no stairs for anyone using a cane or wheelchair. Inside, the facility is pristine, almost looking like a high-end luxury spa instead of a dental office. The waiting area features a mixture of seating, including plush, cozy seating as well as unique clear chairs. The receptionist area is wide, and the staff is wonderful, consistently kind, and respectful. Even the bathrooms are unique with modern see-through sinks! During my first visit in September 2025, I was given a tour explaining their equipment sterilization process, and I was shown the different procedure rooms. As someone who deeply values transparency and honesty, this immediately made me feel safe. The hygienist, Cara, was amazing. She was incredibly gentle with a wonderful bedside manner. Her gentleness was not only a compliment to her technique, but it was a sensory relief for me. Over the next few months in late 2025, I returned several times for a crown, a filling, and a few quick, complimentary bite adjustments to resolve some misalignment headaches. The high standard of care was always consistent. I like to understand what's going on with my care, and I felt safe to ask questions about my treatment without ever being made to feel silly. However, my recent experience as a VA patient showed an issue in communication. After receiving automated email reminders in early 2026 stating it was time to schedule my biannual cleaning, I reached out to Glenn Dental to initiate the request. Because the VA Community Care authorization process takes time, I expected a wait. What I didn't expect was the lack of communication during that wait. I called Glenn Dental twice over the course of two months, once on April 6 at 1:43 PM, and again on May 1 at 12:36 PM, and left two separate voicemails to check on the status of my cleaning. Unfortunately, neither of my calls were returned. Ultimately, on June 8, 2026, I chose to stop by the office in person to follow up. Since I had previously contacted Community Care and brought my authorization number with me, I was able to successfully get scheduled. The front desk representative remained professional and apologized for the inconvenience. The explanation provided was that the VA Coordinator handles those specific callbacks. However, I thought a business phone belonged to the entire front office. When I left those messages, anyone could have returned my calls. Whether it was a system glitch, a tech outage, or messages simply getting overlooked during a hectic day, the ball was dropped. I understand that third-party approvals take time and that the office has to wait on the VA. If someone had reached out with a quick, two-minute courtesy call just to say, "Hi Melissa, we received your messages and we're still waiting on the VA paperwork, but we haven't forgotten you," it would have felt like I was seen and not ignored or overlooked. I consider that an extension of my care and dental relationship. I am grateful that Glenn Dental contracts with the VA to serve veterans like me, and I truly hope this communication breakdown was just an isolated blip. Because the clinical care and the staff have otherwise been top-tier, I still recommend this facility, I just hope to see their communication updates improve for patients in the future.
