    My husband made my appointment so I just showed up, filled out paperwork and had my appointment. I…read morethought it was a weird location at first because it's such a busy strip center but the inside was quiet and professional. The wait was about 10 minutes to get my xrays done then I was taken to room for gum exam, then a 5 min wait to see Dr Patel (who was super friendly and helpful) then the benefits coordinator came in and allowed me to pay and schedule my next appointment in the room. Finally a short wait to see the hygienist (thorough, quick, friendly) who performed my cleaning and fluoride treatment. Overall I felt great about the experience. The proximity to my house and the overall organization and professionalism will bring me back here in six months for my next checkup.

    Just called to reschedule my appointment this morning, this is the second time because there was…read moreanother incident last year where the front desk staff is extremely rude, unpleasant, and unprofessional. Dr. Patel is Great, but some of the front desk staff definitely needs to be replacement. To have so much attitude over the phone for a simple reschedule is absolutely ridiculous and absurd. Ms. Vianca or Bianca if that's your name I hope your day gets better or please have a cup of coffee in the morning before you start dealing with patients, I'm sorry you do not like your job. Have a Great Day. Sidenote-the kids side is always Fabulous always a pleasant experience with them.

    I was very anxious about seeing a dentist after many years of not being able to afford dentistry…read moreand my own dental neglect during years of depression, where I didn't take very good of myself at all. I felt embarrassed about my teeth and I had my hopes up many times trying to find someplace that could help me get my teeth fixed (so I could also feel better about myself), and help me find a way to afford all the work I would need. I had also become quite emotional after many efforts to find help had led to disappointment as I learned, that even low cost places were a lot more $ than I expected. I had received an ad in my mail offering a free dental x-ray and evaluation for new patients at Excel Dental. I eventually convinced myself to try again, and made an appointment at Excel Dental. My dentist was Dr. Kai, who was very kind and compassionate as I explained my situation being a senior on a very fixed income. Dr. Kai and staff worked a plan that would enable me to get the dental work I'd not only needed, but wanted as well. I recommend Excel Dental and Dr. Kai for all ages, but because I know there are many seniors like myself, this is in particular a, SHOUT OUT to the BOOMERS in need of dentistry! I sincerely say to all, "you owe it to yourselves" to see what Dr. Kai can do for you. I feel a sincere gratitude to Dr. Kai in particular. The staff at Excel Dental is friendly and accommodating. The waiting room is not fancy, but comfortable and clean and I can't even recall a wait longer than 5 mins to get seen. The equipment is modern, very clean.

    Excel Dental Missouri City could clean your teeth well but it is impossible they could provide more…read morefor you. They will make sure you got pain and they do not qualify for any moderate sedation. You may take your own risk to be there with those unprofessional people. Sedation Options Offered: According to the Excel Dental website, they offer the following anxiety-relief and sedation methods: * Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild, inhaled sedative that helps patients relax while remaining awake. It wears off quickly after the procedure. * Oral Conscious Sedation: A pill taken before the appointment to manage moderate to severe anxiety. * The Wand: A computer-controlled injection system that delivers local anesthesia in a steady, more comfortable flow than traditional needles. Important Note on IV Sedation: Excel Dental does NOT currently list IV sedation (deep sedation). If you require IV sedation, other local providers that explicitly offer it include Missouri City Dentistry and Plantation Dental. Notable complaints from public reviews and consumer platforms include: * Clinical Incidents: One highly detailed complaint from 2024 involved a parent who alleged that a child was "traumatized" during a molar extraction where anesthesia reportedly wore off mid-procedure. * Billing and Financial Disputes: Patients have reported issues with the finance department, specifically regarding the handling of referral credits and unexpected charges for certain procedures. * Prosthetic and Fit Issues: At least one senior patient reported receiving poorly fitted dentures that caused significant pain, followed by dissatisfaction with the office's refusal to provide a refund. * Service Quality: Some reviews highlight "lousy" service for specialized needs like severe underbites or hurried cleanings that felt inadequate. * Operational Concerns: Common minor complaints include long wait times--sometimes exceeding an hour--and administrative errors, such as prescriptions being issued without necessary signatures.
