I just moved from Seattle to Albuquerque. My night guard appliance had chipped off a bit in the…read morefront and I was worried I might need a new one, which can be very expensive because it's not a simple generic night guard. My Seattle dentist (Dr. Cris Simmons) is one of the top TMJ specialists in the world. His wife/secretary (Anna) referred me to Dr. Sanchez. I called for an appointment and was offered a free half-hour consultation. I phoned back Anna and she said that's a very good sign. She said that if they wanted me to make an appointment for x-rays, run the other direction. Lol During the consultation, it was clear that Dr. Sanchez had years of advanced specialized training with TMJ. He inspected my appliance and said he can definitely make one that's comparable. But even though it's slightly chipped in the front, it won't affect the functionality or comfort so it's not worth wasting my money on a new one. His advice was to continue using it until there's more serious wear. I felt relieved to find a dentist in my new city who's honest AND a highly experienced expert with TMJ.

We've always been allowed to make payments for extensive dental work. One day we were told we could no longer do that. So I have gone two years without a replacement crown. All because they would not accept credit card payments. when I did try and schedule an appointment to let bygones be bygones. She was very abrupt and told me that I needed to start all over as a new patient. Meaning I could not get my teeth cleaned nor my crown replaced till I saw the doctor as a new patient. My husband got an appointment within a week and he's been gone just as long as I have. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'd like to remind them that kindness cost nothing. Bad reviews may be forgotten but in a family of 20+ attending. Word-of-mouth marketing is impactful. My apologies to both Dr. Rivera and Dr. Ramo.

I was suspicious of this, so decided to get a second opinion. I went to another dentist, who checked my tooth and the tooth next to it for decay, and determined that all I needed was for the tooth to be cleaned and the onlay that came loose to be cemented back. No crown. The dentist at Sandia Ridge did not bother to test if my tooth had caries, or if there was a less aggressive way to fix my tooth. He right away told me that I needed a crown. Also, they charged my insurance more for their services (x-rays of the tooth, an image of my tooth, superficial cleaning of the area and putting temporary cement) than the other dentist who also took x-rays, tested my teeth for caries, thoroughly cleaned my tooth and the onlay, removing any decay and old cement, numbed the area so I would not experience discomfort, and cemented the onlay on my tooth. I do not recommend them at all.

This review is for a root canal performed at Modern Dentistry in Albuquerque…read more The general manager at this location is really caring and proficiently answers all questions as it seems the staff at the front computers are there primarily to check people in. You will be asked to sign forms that you cannot see and they will provide the forms to you only if you ask. They were really good with the estimate they provided ahead of the procedure, so I knew what to expect financially. The team was very kind to reschedule me as I arrived late due to traffic (accident) delays and I arrived at the wrong address - do not put in 2800 Coors as it will not bring you to the right address. This combination of events made me 20 min late even though I had allowed 30 extra minutes of travel time for a 90 min drive. Better to put into your phone the actual name (modern dentistry Albuquerque) or home depot (the office is tucked behind the home pot with no big sign except in front of the office over the front door. If you are more than 10 min late the office may do their best to reschedule you the same day and they will allow you to sit in the sitting area with wifi provided - bring your own water as their water dispenser in the sitting area is broken as of Feb 2023 and no other option is offered. The endodontist, Dr. Wilson, was previously a dentist and is now an endodontist. He uses a microscope to perform his work really well with a set of instruments on a tray, and doesn't use the more modern tools that some endontists now use. He's good about giving info on what he is doing and his dental tech/assistant is really kind and explains additional things if you have questions. Dr. Wilson will sing along to the relatively loud music piped through the intercom of the office - if you do not mind...I kindly provided feedback to him this was not my personal preference as he is drilling in my mouth right next to my ear ...brings back memories of another endodontist in Santa Fe who hums a weird low voice while leaning into the patient during the procedure (felt creepy to me and others in reviews provided similar feedback) - might be soothing to some patients??? So if you'd rather Dr. Wilson not sing, you could kindly ask him ahead of the procedure not to sing and he is super nice, so I'm sure he would kindly oblige. Suggestion: You may want to ask the dental office what pain meds you can safely take before/after your root canal as I was in a lot of pain after the root canal, and no pain meds are provided. Ice and non prescription pain meds were enough to reduce pain once I arrived home. No instructions were provided post procedure and if you need them, perhaps you can ask? CAUTION: Please keep your valuables at hand at this office. As of Feb 2023, there is construction happening at this location and when I left my favorite stainless steel coffee mug in the sitting area, it was gone when I returned from the bathroom and from talking to the front desk. The general manager showed the video of me coming into the front door and did not see that I had tucked my coffee mug under my arm behind my laptop computer - and they actual tried to convince me I had not entered the sitting area with it. I had clearly been drinking the coffee during my entire 2 hour drive, arrived with the mug, and it was stolen from the sitting/waiting area. Three times they asked me to check to ensure it was not left in my truck. There is only one camera at the entrance to the dentist office and none in the waiting area or offices - this might be a consideration for the clinic safety as they continue with construction. My coffee mug (still 1/4 full of black decaf coffee) was stolen from the sitting area and I hope by sharing this that you will be spared the angst that I had in losing something with sentimental value. IMHO it's not the staff who would do this but perhaps the people coming and going. Hope the person that stole it gets as much enjoyment as I did from it - great mug!

This review is a long time coming. My dentist retired in 2018 and I went to Byron Wall because one…read moreof his specialties was TMJ. I had 5 abfractions, where a small piece of the tooth has broken loose due to clenching. Wall was going to fill the abfractions, but also wanted to grind my teeth to fix the clenching. I was told, "I just do a very minimal grinding, about the width of a hair, and it can make a huge difference, this allows the jaw to relax, and then you won't clench and cause more abfractions. " I agreed to only have the abfractions filled, and to wait on the grinding, but I was told that I would have to sign a release that if they did not do the grinding, then the fillings might fall out, and they would not be responsible. The fillings were horrible, big globs of material that were very rough and jagged. There was no way to floss as it would get tangled in the jagged filling material. And because of the grinding he did, now I was scrapping my teeth on one side of my mouth. I returned several times, and each time he said that more griding was needed. He tried to sand down the excess material on the fillings, but this was impossible to get smooth. Neither process worked. I had difficulty getting through to Byron Wall, he is very busy, and it is difficult to get him to listen. The clenching was worse, now I had pain radiating to my eye and head. When I chew on the right side, my teeth scrape tother on the left side. Then I was told, "Sometimes it takes up to a year of grinding to get things to be right." I spent $2,411 with Byron Wall. Now I had to find a TMJ specialist to fix the new problem created by Wall where I scrape on one side when I eat. And to fix the horrible fillings he put in. I asked for a refund. Byron Wall refused. In a letter he said that he had recommended crowns and that I had refused. Crowns for what? Crowns were never discusssed. He said he performed all that I had asked him to do. I left Byron Wall and became extra cautious. I met with these dentists: Alicia Abeyta, Greg Sanchez, David Willoughby, Wayne Luco, and Robert Supple. Everyone of these dentists said the fillings done by Wall would all have to be removed and redone. They could not understand why he would put such big globs on my teeth-- Willoughby said that one of the globs was like a cave--a place for a cavity to start. Robert Supple said that he can fix the clenching and hopefully the chewing problem created by Wall. He said that grinding the teeth before getting the jaw aligned and stable is backwards. I said that one of the reasons I went to Byron Wall is that he was named Dentist of the Year. One of these five dentists said, "Unfortunately people put value to that when a dentist can pay to be dentist of the year." It has taken a very long time to recover from the work of Byron Wall. I would have given zero stars if that were available. David Willoughby removed and re-filled all of the five fillings done by Wall. Willoughby said the standard is, "smooth as glass" and that's what Willoughby did. Robert Supple was fabulous had helped me tremendously with the clenching and scrapping one one side created by Wall.
