I want to say I am extremely disappointed with my experience today for my cleaning and I will not…read morebe returning to this location. I had a cleaning appt for 4- I wasn't seen until 433. They had to do x rays again and I was seen by a woman names Emily who was very nice but I don't think she worked in that office so it seemed she was a little clueless when it came to doing the x rays - the wire kept getting in the way of the pictures , it wasn't a smooth process so at this point I'm a little upset that this was taking so long . Again, she's very sweet , but she has a heavy Spanish accent and while wearing the face mask I could only understand half of what she is saying . After the x rays I go into the exam room and she is doing the measurements of my gums and I was told I wasn't loading enough and need to use water flossing. Which okay yes that's good advice - but the she asked me about braces and said my brances had affected my teeth negatively and I have literally never heard that. I had braces 20 years ago.. The cleaning hurt, the irrigation she did was painful on my sensitive teeth and I didn't know that was included in the cleaning but I went with it because they're the experts right ? Overall just a little poked and prodded more than usual which is not really what I was expecting from a dentistry I liked. The main dentist came in and called me by the wrong name . She examined me for 60 seconds and said everything was okay. Emily continued the cleaning . She put on the fluoride and then I was out by 540ish. I go to the front desk and they told me it was 78.00. I said what is that for ? She said you got the irrigation and fluoride right ? I was like I guess ? And she's like that's why there is a cost . I told the women next time , can the person cleaning my teeth let me know what they're doing so I can decline services? She's like , in the future just let them know that you don't want those services ... WHAT?! So it's my fault , I didn't stop her from doing the procedures ? Like I was supposed to know exactly what she was doing and what was covered . No, I won't be returning .

Because of this incident I lowered my rating. Otherwise the dentists are fine.

I had the good fortune to have Dr Andonis Terezides, DDS, Oral Surgeon, recommended to me…read more I was diagnosed with salivary gland cancer. It is rare, malignant and aggressive. It required an eight hour neck surgery and 33 radiation treatments to stop the spread. Before you can have radiotherapy around your neck and head, you cannot have any dental problems such as teeth with large fillings, fractures, cavities, significant occlusal wear or gum disease. Dr Terezides was professional and experienced. After his detailed analysis, he performed oral surgery that removed a number of teeth, scraped the jaw bones and sutured the gums. The ENT surgeon and oncology radiotherapy physicians inspected his work and all said it was a first class procedure he preformed. I was cleared to continue with the radiation. My cancer was stopped 100%. I have had no oral problems. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Terezides for his expertise, friendly manner, and his part in gifting me more time in life. Lon Buie

Not only was I never notified by the office that I would now be out of network - but they ignored my request for information for 6 weeks. When I called back two days before my cleaning - turns out my "free" cleaning will now be around $300. So no - I will find an in network dentist - but thanks for delaying my cleaning probably ~3 months it will take to get in someplace new.

***PROTIP*** You do NOT have to get the oral cancer…read morescreening. Don't let them lie to you. Don't let them wear you down. Don't let them play stupid. It's not "required." You can sign a waiver to opt out. I swear, I have to fight every time I come here. I schedule early morning appointments so I can get to work. Somehow they always find a way to waste my time. First visit: I sat through an Invisalign pitch. They could have saved time by opening with the $5k price tag. Second visit: I said up front that I wasn't interested in the Invisalign pitch (I'm trying to save time here). Dismissively, the dental assistant insisted that they would still have them come offer the pitch. Before I could cuss her non-listening behind out, the main dentist came through. He took a look at my scans and realized that I'm not a candidate for Invisalign. Great! Now I never have to hear about Invisalign again. I'm still dropping a star for her dismissive attitude. Third visit: I come in for a standard cleaning and X-rays, both covered 100% by my insurance. As I'm sitting in the chair the DA says that the cost will be $75. I ask her why and she says it's $45 for fluoride and $30 for oral cancer screening. I told her I was fine with the fluoride, as that's optional, but I didn't want the screening which I did last year. Here's where things get stupid... She tells me that the oral cancer screening is "required." I asked since when, and in broken English she said it's always been that way. It protects the dentist from being held liable if a patient later develops oral cancer. On my first visit they offered the screening, and I accepted because I wanted it. Now they're telling me I'm required to have it? The Devil is a liar! So I'm pissed at this point, because, as stated before, I always have to fight with these people. I told her that I will not have the screening, and she again said that it's required, and that she'd get the doctor to come talk to me. She came back and said that the doctor was seeing someone, but would be there shortly. She offered to get started with the cleaning. Chick, are you crazy? Me agreeing to start services is tantamount to agreeing to any "required" services and their respective costs. You're not going to trap me! While we waited for the doctor, I demanded to see some documentation that shows where the law requires additional services that aren't covered by insurance. Maybe when I said 'documentation' it broke past the language barrier in her brain. Her response was that the screening is required by the doctor, and that I have to sign a paper if I don't want the screening. Mother, father, sister, brother... So NOW we get the truth. This isn't required. It's heavily recommended, and can be opted out of. I asked for the paper which she brought promptly. That proves she always knew I could opt out, and how I would opt out. She was trying to press me into the screening. Another star off. It didn't have to be this way. They do good work here. They wasted ten minutes of my time trying to weasel $30 out of me. Another star off. Let's see what happens in another six months...

I wasn't particularly sure how to perceive modern smiles, as it sounds like a chain name and they…read moresank quite a bit of money into their advertising. Being that I have a sales background I'm often a little skeptical of places that spend a lot of money on a franchise name and then throw in advertising money at it immediately. My son had been to a pediatric dentist on multiplications and add one of them had an incredibly horrible experience due to a very old and antiquated drug that they used for him to be sedated. Dealing with children with sensory or autism spectrum issues is not an easy task. It was absolutely not an issue whatsoever at modern smiles. I don't like to admit it, but I've often thought the dentist would at least advise to do excess of treatments. My boy was having overcrowding of his adult teeth trying to come in and the baby teeth were just too tight of a fit. All in all there were a total of eight teeth that needed to be pulled. The problem being was that they really didn't need to be pulled, He could've pulled them out himself. It seems that what happened was the government had slightly attached to the tooth which was completely disconnected and only being held by the jump itself so, what is this all mean? The dentist actually said to me I will leave you should give him a few weeks give him taffy other things in your sticky see if you can repeat that himself. I said please can we just pull these today and get this over with? Dentist said absolutely not, we need to just let them pop out have them twist them but I don't feel right taking your money for something that doesn't really need to be done. He advised if they did not come out in three or four weeks to come back and see him and he would simply pop them off like soda tops. That's exactly what he did. We came back around 3 weeks later and he just popped them off. The skin got a little attached but they were ready to come out, so 10 minutes and he was done. They don't actually specialize in pediatrics year, but they do a really good job with it and if they're able to handle a sensory child then these people are pretty on point. I decided to use them as my dentist is well we live in Laureate Park and it is very convenient. If you're in the area is a lot of Dennis I tried this one and I liked him. And I don't like very many dentists....sorry dentist they got I have good teeth!!
