Fleur Blethen in a talented Endodontist and preformed a root canal in @ 90 minutes! She and her assistant were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. All things you want in a root canal. Very little discomfort and she has small hands! The front of the house staff did a great job at getting all the t's crossed and i's dotted. Thanks to them all and I highly recommend any one having a root canal to check them out. read more

When our family dentist recently stopped accepting an employee sponsored insurance plan, we decided to try Glendale Modern Dentistry. The experience did not go well! I am sharing my story to inform others that they can find better oral care elsewhere. In mid-June, I went for my first check up and cleaning at Glendale Modern Dentistry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon arrival, I learned that required, pre-appointment forms had not been emailed. As a result, I would have to complete them before my appointment. No tablet computer was provided, so I was left to fill out the forms on my personal cell phone. The task was made more difficult due to a lack of internet service in the office. I was told to connect to Dunkin' Donuts WiFi, which again had a poor signal. Eventually, I stood outside in the 100+ degree heat to complete the series of forms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Next, an extensive set of X-rays and photographs taken. Then I was escorted to an exam room where the hygienist hurriedly performed periodontal charting. I attempted to explain that I was very anxious, and usually the hygienist numbs my mouth to avoid discomfort that occurs during my cleaning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The hygienist seemed to lack empathy, and told me that she would prefer to try doing the cleaning without a local anesthetic first.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Next the dentist reviewed the X-rays with me, indicating that I have no cavities. When the time finally came for my cleaning, the hygienist refused to perform the service unless I agreed to the following additional procedures: - Scaling and Root Planing -Adjunctive Pre-Diagnostic Test that aids in detection of mucosal abnormalities -Fluoride Varnish -A laser treatment (which she eventually admitted was unnecessary) Again I explained that I was very anxious, and that for this first visit I simply wanted a local anesthetic with a standard teeth cleaning. It was important that I gain confidence and establish trust in the hygienist's quality of care. The hygienist repeatedly refused to do a basic teeth cleaning unless I agreed to the additional procedures, so I eventually left the office without my 6-month cleaning. Of course now my insurance has now been charged approximately $1700 for the X-rays and exam, and I am left without the routine cleaning for which the appointment was intended. At the same time, my young-adult son was being seen in another exam room. This a young man who takes good care of his teeth and has had routine dental appointments every 6 months his entire life. His experience resulted in an out-of-pocket charge of $85 for an unneeded deep cleaning. The hygienist also recommended he get a laser treatment, but eventually said that it could be done at a follow up visit instead. Glendale Modern Dentistry is not interested in quality health care. They seem to be much more focused on up-charging people for unnecessary services. Save yourself the inconvenience and expense by going elsewhere! read more

Do not be fooled by the $59 cleaning enticement advertisement. I walked in expecting a cleaning. Walked out 2 hours later after a plethora of xray that did not want or need. Was told I needed a deep clean so could not get the cleaning I paid for and they wanted $2,829 but with their promotions and discounts if I signed up today for $119 for their "dental plan" I could get all of this for $1,519.60. What a racket! read more

As a new patient needing a cleaning, Dentist Kaplan required that a full mouth scan and at least 10 X-rays be taken first. She then proceeded to insinuate that there were multiple problems with my teeth and she wasn't willing to complete a cleaning. The only reason I went to this dentist was because our insurance changed and the real dentist I was seeing prior did not take the new insurance. I had recently spent about $10k to have implants and bridgework completed on the upper teeth and they look and feel great. Although the bottom teeth require cosmetic work, I recently had the necessary work completed on them including root canals and cavities filled which stabilized the teeth and eliminated any pain. I believe Kaplan was more focused on identifying high cost cosmetic services that could be provided instead of giving me the services I was seeking (a teeth cleaning). I could see she was more interested in a money grab rather than providing the lower cost teeth cleaning. It's shameful when professionals use their certifications/degrees for their own ulterior motives. Never got the teeth cleaning so I can't even say they do that well read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Volkin and the staff are amazing. Everyone is very friendly and professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was a patient of an affiliated office for 14 years and was very happy there as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really like this office and would rate 5 stars but I really don't care for the policy of requiring a $100 deposit before you can make an appointment. I understand why they do it, but in my opinion, that is a cost of being in business. No one pays for my time if I have to wait past my appointment or my appointment gets cancelled. That deposit thing could go both ways. read more

If I could, I would give zero stars I went in as a new patient and they refused to do a standard cleaning and wanted to charge me almost $500 and reschedule me for an hour and a half half for a deep cleaning. I should've checked the reviews before coming here this place so he cares about making money as I heard them the entire time arguing with other patients about the same thing as well so unprofessional and they're trying to be a high class dental office when the interior is subpar at best outdated chairs. read more

GREEDY! Please read the reviews before booking an appointment here! I read through the reviews and I'm appalled that I had the same exact experiences as others. I have been to plenty of dental facilities and this is the first time I walked out with no cleaning. My oral health is great and I love to maintain that, keep that in mind. I went in for my appointment and went through the whole "new patient" process. Once I got done with my x-rays and got to sit down in the chair, it all went downhill. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A total of three people were in the room and Dr. Kaplan was trying to say I had gingivitis and a couple other things, I had someone reading back a bill to me, and another lady advertising a whole box kit for whitening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I experienced an in person add and wished I was able to "skip" just like in YouTube.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Before I went into this facility I double checked with my insurance to make sure it was fully covered for my cleaning and "new patient" fees, which it was. Once the lady reads the bill back to me she mentioned a whopping $340.00! That's when I knew something was up with this place, they like to act as if they have your best interest and downplay the greed behind the scenes. I stood my ground without being argumentative and said "No" and since I declined they decided I wasn't worthy enough for the most basic thing you can do at the dentist, a cleaning... I got a second opinion from my current dental facility and they confirmed all of the suspicions I had. This is a corporate dental facility and they will treat you so. Please do not let them fool you into paying for a whole bunch of stuff they might diagnose you with because you won't be able to tell what's true or what's false. They'll let you pay out of pocket for profit gain. Shame on this place for not being transparent and taking advantage of people on a daily basis! Avoid this place at all cost! read more

See all

I came in with a painful tooth. said I needed 2 root canals. Got started and her assistant must of been new because she didn't suck up the water in my mouth,I had to swallow all of it.During the drilling, Dr Brown hit a nerve. that is very painful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She started drilling along other teeth on bottom where root canals would be in the back of mouth. I didn't know why she was doing that. no info on what she was doing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came back 2 wks later to see endodontist that comes to her office. the shots were horrible and he hit a nerve also. it was a facial nerve. my right eye would not close.asst said it from the shots. I have never ever heard of that before. he was hitting nerves also. about jumped out of my chair. so they just give you more novacaine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]after he was done, went to see Dr brown-same day to finish. I asked why are you drilling on my front teeth. it was for the crowns way in the back. how was I to know.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]this assistant would put the hose down in bottom of mouth hitting the gums . I will not ever go there again. the waiting room was always empty. now I know why..... read more

Super unprofessional! I have had a total of 3 appointments over the last 2 years and they ALL have needed to be "rescheduled" after I already hired a babysitter and my husband took off work so that I could go to the appointment. They take forever to get to you at your appointment where you spend most of your time waiting in a dental chair without seeing anyone and one of the hygenists is NOT gentle at all. I do not recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]i had a very great experience here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] usually don't write reviews but i see they have 3 stars and really don't understand why? [[HIGHLIGHT]]first off the front desk lady named shannon was so helpful and had a very positive attitude and just made the experience better[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and when i went in to get my wisdom teeth removed all the staff were so understanding of how nervous i was. i didn't get the persons name who brought me back but they were so super nice and supportive and walked me through the whole anesthesia falling asleep part. the doctor was also very nice and overall made the experience 10/10!!!! so glad i went here!!!! read more

When you think about a root canal you are dreading it because of all the terrible things you've heard... I cannot recommend this practice enough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone was so nice and welcoming and after the horror stories I heard I was low key worried walking into the practice but every step of the way I was told what was happening and felt at ease about the procedure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was so great. Definitely would recommend this practice to people! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Scheduling was so easy and I loved the reminders![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I would never recommend Glendale Modern Dentistry! I recently moved to AZ from WA I sent them my dental records from my Dentist in WA because my insurance only covers X-Rays every 36 months. It was a $79 charge but a new patient charge is $39. I asked to just not use my insurance and pay the new patient charge. I get the X-Rays, DR comes in and looks at my teeth, looks good. Hygienist comes in and essentially tells me I have periodontal disease. Mind you, I have been seeing an orthodontist, dentist, and periodontics for the past 5 years for Ortho and Implants. I've asked my Periodontitis if my gums looked good, he said "Yes". Come here and they want me to get a deep cleaning, that runs between $1400 every 3 months. This place is MONEY hungry! After the hygienist told me all of that, I asked if I was getting a cleaning, she said " I don't have time to do that" So, I was really confused on what the heck I was there for. I've never gone to a dentist and not gotten cleaning done. SHe left the room and nobody came in after about 20 mins. I just left the building and called and told them to cancel my partners appt, and not to charge my insurance. The office manager that called me was nice, everybody was nice.. Just very shady and money hungry! I contacted my insurance company to tell them about the shady practice. read more

After reading the reviews I was skeptical on the pricing, but my mind was soon changed. The service was amazing. I felt comfortable and mostly pain free the whole time. Very friendly staff. The time and energy that was put into my smile was so worth the money paid. I felt as if they truly cared. If you're looking for a cheap fix this isn't the place. But if you're looking for quality service from people who truly want to turn your smile around this is the place for you. read more

I've been a patient at this office for several years. I had an appointment this morning which had been confirmed earlier in the week. I showed up for my appointment and the clinic doors were locked. I waited 15 minutes after my appointment time, called, and left a voice message that I'd been waiting at the clinic entrance and to cancel my appointment because 15 minutes had elapsed and I was tired of waiting for someone to show up. Not a single staff member has bothered to call me to explain why my appointment had been confirmed and why nobody was at the clinic when I arrived for my appointment. I work in the Healthcare industry and my clinic would never leave a patient without an explanation like this. This is a very poor way to run a business. I will be looking for a new dental clinic. read more

Save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else, this place is a scam. All they do is try to make up or embellish things they want you to spend money on and they don't even have competitive rates. Went in for cleaning and they spent the whole time taking X-rays over and over because they couldn't do it right and then tried "selling" me on some services I did not want and would not actually do the cleaning. Will never go back read more

Don't waste you're time or money!! Dr Brown is so nice and friendly but they were going to charge me just over $300 to get 4 'cavities dealt with. I had TWO second opinions- turns out I have NO cavities. Like why lie to me!?! That's when I learned that some dental offices have to meet quotas to stay in business and to be part of a group.... so yeah if you want a honest opinion and to not pay an arm and a leg, Don't go here!! And this was just the Many things that went wrong. My husband saw a hygienist at this location, and she gave him false information. When the doctor was called in she even Stated that what the hygienist Had told him was faulty information. read more

Everyone has a dental horror story. Mine is the complete OPPOSITE of those! I took my daughter to have her wisdom teeth out & they did an amazing job! I came back myself for emergency care & to get a partial & I got the same great care! From the receptionist, to the coordinator, to the nurses, and amazing dentist, my whole experience was phenomenal. They were empathetic & knowledgeable & took such great care of me! I will be doing all of my dental care here from now on & have told anyone who will listen about my consistent, awesome experiences! read more

The staff is always very welcoming and I've had nothing but great treatment from Dr Brown and her associate doctors. One thing that I especially like is the feeling that I never get pressured to get procedures done unless they are truly necessary. I recommend this office to anyone in the area. read more

I went here for 5 years and thought I finally found the perfect dentist, but alas my most recent visit was a poor experience and another individual that I recommended see this dentist office to shared the same recent change in sentiment. Hygienists and dentists I have seen have been friendly and thorough. Unfortunately the sales process has become suddenly incredibly pushy and has led to my decision to discontinue care with this provider. During 2020 I was charged an additional cash fee for PPE due to COVID. I thought this was sketchy, and believe it is simply driving additional profit. Then in 2021 I returned for a 6 month cleaning and the sales administrator tried to sell me a discount plan which entailed me prepaying for future cleanings - at an above market rate. There was no incentive to prepay as any general dentist in the metro area will charge these prices as service is rendered. They were suggesting that imaging (for routine exams) will cost me $1,000s. This includes x-rays as well as a literal camera taking a photo of your mouth for hundreds of dollars each image. Then, they rang up my bill 4x too high "accidentally". And fortunately I caught the issue before I paid and left. I will not be returning. It takes a lot to earn someone's trust and perpetual business and all of that can be lost so easily and quickly. A shame. Let me know if you recommend any good general dentists! read more

Dr. Brown and Heather Greathouse are amazing. The office staff is horrible. I called a week before appointment to update insurance, they called me the day before my appointment asking for new insurance. Gave it to them again. I received a text confirming appointment. When I arrived, they had cancelled my appointment and still did not update insurance. As I left, office staff stated that because I was upset over this, Dr. Brown didn't want to see me. My appointment wasn't even with Dr. Brown. read more

Had a tooth extraction, root canal, and bridge done here and the process was easy and smooth. Great friendly staff that help you feel comfortable and great hours that can accommodate someone with an 8-5 job like me. They close a little later during the week and are open Saturdays. read more

I LOVE this team. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, from the moment I arrive. Dr. Brown is always very pleasant and informative regarding my current dental health and my long-term dental plan. Heather is the greatest hygienist I've ever worked with, and Eric is always a pleasure to work with. I don't know how you put together such a great team, but kudos to all of them!! read more

I've had a lot of dental work over the years and this was my best experience yet! Starting from the front office staff through leaving the office, every single person was professional, competent and a pleasure to be around. Dr. Armendariz did a crown on my tooth and I literally had no discomfort whatsoever. Plus I was finished in a little over 2 hours with my permanent crown cemented in with no return appointments needed. I would highly recommend Glendale Modern. read more

My daughter had an appt last week to have her wisdom teeth removed. Despite having a plan of care and estimate, the bill was quadruple. She paid it and was happy. I felt it was wrong and unethical. A simple phone call ahead of time to explain would have been nice. I then made an appt for myself for xray and check up. I had had a check up a few months earlier and was basically going for a second opinion. Much to my horror, the estimate here was almost double. They were extremely friendly but without a doubt very pricey. I would beware before signing any dotted line here. read more

I went here to get an exam and because I was in pain. I had a tooth bugging me. So, I set up an appointment to have my teeth looked at. I was impressed by the technology they had. The location was close to home & convenient hours were a plus. I checked in and gave them my insurance info. I thought I saw some drool out of the receptionist's mouth. I have a great employer who offers a buy-up coverage. It's the best dental plan I've ever been on. They called me in. I went back with the assistant who took x-rays and then I got to see the dentist. Dr. Brown looked at my teeth and told me that she could not save it or the one in front of it. She told me I needed about $8000 worth of work. She said that I needed 2 teeth extracted, 2 bone grafts and have a 4-tooth bridge built. She had me go back to get some more x-rays done, which I found out later they were not needed and if they were, they should have done 4 bite-wings instead of some fancy x-rays my insurance did not cover. After I left my appointment, I was thinking of how the heck could I come up with that kind of money. I will let my teeth go until I can get the funds together. Fast forward to February 2018, I was in excruciating pain and my face was swollen. I moved to North Scottsdale so I could not return to Glendale Modern Dentistry. I went to another dentist. He evaluated me. Basically, I needed 1 extraction and a 3-tooth bridge built with 1 bone graft. His price was $2600. My cost was $1350 with insurance. I received a 2nd opinion from him saying that the tooth that was identified by Dr. Brown as needing to be pulled was actually in decent shape. I did not need to have it removed and it serves as an anchor to the bridge I am having put in. Based on the treatment I got from them vs the dentist I last visited, I would never recommend Glendale Modern Dentistry. The practice was greedy; I should have been move vigilant about the costs. I trusted the estimate as being a true evaluation only to find out that the treatment plans she had recommended were not in my best interest, but to their$. read more

I absolutely hate getting my teeth worked on it makes me anxious nervous makes my heart pound but this place is extremely comfortable they're fantastic they work fast they work well if you want a dentist I believe they're one of the best I've ever been to. read more

This is not our normal dentist. Our daughter bumped her tooth pretty hard. Her tooth was loose, bloody gums, etc. It was about 7pm. They were one of the few dentists open. Talk about a friendly dentist and dentist office We had all 3 kids in pajamas in tow. We are grateful we came in. If we didn't have a dentist already, this type of service would guarantee our entire family's business. Did I mention how awesome they were? read more

I had the worst experience with Glendale Modern Dentistry! I have gone to Glendale Modern Dentistry for about 2 years and the service has been pretty good until recently I went in because I was having pain underneath my bridge. They took x-rays and found that the tooth holding up the bridge was infected which I can understand. What bothered me is the dentist, Dr. Brown told me that because of that I would have to get a root canal and then went into how I needed a new bridge and had to have other things done to the bridge which she quoted me to be over $8000. I went to another dentist to get a second opinion. I am so glad I did that. The other dentist said I just needed a root canal and that the bridge was just fine. I only paid $176! Obviously Glendale Modern Dentistry was trying to rip me off!!! I will never go to them again. read more

Love this dentist. Have gotten a deep cleaning here twice now and the experience both times was very pleasant. From the front desk receptionist working with me on payment options, to the X-ray tech being very nice and sweet, to the dental hygienist who is a lovely woman and does an amazing job. I will definitely be coming back for years to come. Thank you guys for making it so easy to take care of my chompers. read more

Not Very Organized: In December I made an appointment for a TEETH CLEANING as a new patient (vs returning). The office called me and asked me to reschedule because I was not considered new (I had one previous appointment prior to this), they could not take me because the time allotted was for new patients. I rescheduled for 5pm in January. I arrive at my appointment and was greeted by friendly staff. After a short wait I'm taken to get my x-rays. Then I'm taken to the exam room where a hygienist comes in to great me. She leaves and is replaced by someone who is only there to check my gums. She leaves and is replaced by an account manager who is there to upsell me on flouride and an oral scope (ok great). After she quotes me prices and confirms by ability to pay she says the hygienist will be in shortly (it's already 5:30). I asked how much longer would it take and was asked "why do you have somewhere to be?" - why yes home to feed my kid - I'll check. She returns and states that the hygienist is working on a patient and has one more after that before she can start on me so probably sometime after 6:30 probably won't be done till 7pm but I can reschedule if need be. However, they are booked and don't have any appointments where I would not be forced to take time off work in the next 2-3 weeks. Needless to say I went home with dirty teeth. Last experience with this place. My advice to you - go somewhere else. read more

Love Dr Brown and her team!! They are always pleasant and do a fabulous job on everything they do. I highly recommend.

I decided to try this place out because I was looking for a new dentist near my house, and absolutely loved it! Everyone I came in contact with was so friendly and informative. I saw Dr. Plourde (I think his name was), he answered all my questions thoroughly and was so nice. I've decided to make this my primary dentist :) definitely recommend! read more

If I could rate this place a zero I would!! Don't go here! They are apparently "short staffed" so don't do their job! It took two months to get in for an appointment, I get in wait for half an hour before I am greeted, come to find out they have not confirmed my insurance and since its Sat that office is closed and now they have to reschedule my appointment so that they can call the insurance to find out if I'm can get services!! Let me not go without saying when I made this appointment they indicated they would be calling the insurance before my appointment so I wouldn't have this issue! I guess not! Ridiculous!!! Go to another dentistry! This place and staff was horrible! read more

Kept us waiting almost an hour after the appointment while they tried to figure out the insurance. Referred us to a pediatric dentist that doesn't even take our insurance. Now I have kids needing treatment who I can't find a dentist for. Thanks for nothing! read more

It's been years since I have been to the dentist. The last time I saw a dentist, my experience was horrible. Glendale Modern Dentistry has restored my faith in dentists. Scheduling my appointment was easy and quick. They didn't make me wait, and their entire staff was so incredibly nice. My visit was so pain free. For the first time ever, I don't dread my next visit. read more

I had such a good visit here. The entire staff was very friendly and they explained everything that was going on and always asked if I had questions. Doctor Brown was excellent and very friendly as well. They went over all the details of my dental work and everything my insurance will and won't cover. I will definitely be going back for further cleaning and recommend to friends and family. read more

I have had bad experiences with dentists, and let's face it no one really likes going to one. But Glendale Modern Dentistry is so awesome, from the scheduling convenience to the staff. Everyone is friendly and informative on necessities and options for any kind of dental procedure. Everything is state of the art, and digital...even DirecTV to watch in the room as you wait. You will definitely walk out with a smile :) read more

I am picky about dentists because I've had some terrible ones, so believe me when I say this office is really wonderful. Their pricing is affordable and no nonsense. The staff is friendly and does a great job keeping track of where we are in our treatment plans and finding appointments that work with our schedule. The dentist explained everything so it made sense to me and I understood what was necessary, versus optional, and the pros/cons of different options. Plus, I'm really happy with the results! read more

I will start by saying something positive about Glendale Modern Dentistry: Their office has modern technological equipment used for x-rays and sharing information with the patient, superior to any office I have visited. However, I think they may be in debt for purchasing this equipment because each time I visit, they attempt to extort me to pay for it. I have visited their office two times (recently on December 9th) and each time I needed to check my trousers to ensure I still had my wallet. Glendale Modern Dentistry is the used car sales of Dentistry offices (my apologies to honest used car dealers of the world). On both visits I have sought out 2nd opinions from other dental providers including Midwestern University. On both occasions the recommended treatments from Glendale Modern are debunked by the other offices as incorrect and unnecessary. This last visit broke the camel's back as I was seeking a cleaning and was told it would cost $706.00 to clean my teeth with insurance! Apparently, I needed a Fluoride Varnish, Velscope and Perio RT which is dental speak for, "fleece him!" A week later my cleaning was provided for free, covered under my insurance with no additional costs at another office. I had to take time off of work on two separate days and had to pay an additional exam fee because Glendale Modern Dentistry refused to transfer my x-rays and exam information. At the writing of this review Glendale Modern has not returned my email request to transfer my records despite their fancy technology. I lost $50 but it is my hope you will read this and choose another dental provider. Thanks for listening. read more

I had a great experience at Glendale Modern Dentistry and I would highly recommend them to anyone! I was so happy that I was referred by a coworker and I've already scheduled my family members for their own check up! read more
