I was a bit nervous about getting veneers, but I decided to trust Dr. Rahbar's recommendation to improve my overall smile rather than just treat the one tooth...and I couldn't be happier with the results. I had seen the before and after photos and knew it was going to look great, but the final result exceeded all of my expectations. I'm amazed at how natural and beautiful my veneers look. I definitely smile with much more confidence now, and I'm incredibly happy with the final result. A special shoutout to the entire Dentique team. Everyone was kind, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the process. They made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Brandi checked in after each appointment to make sure I was doing well and not experiencing any pain or issues. I truly couldn't be happier with both the results and the overall experience. If you're searching for the right dental studio, I hope this review helps, you'll be in great hands at Dentique!

From the moment I walked in, everyone was welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. The dentist took the time to explain everything thoroughly, and I never felt rushed.

Alright brace yourself because I wrote a justified novel…read more I came to SmileStyle in an extreme urgency. I had already started services with another dental company and was waiting on my final crown placement and a deep cleaning. However, I recently got unexpectedly laid off from my job and unfortunately the company I had already started the process with could not see me before the end of the month..which is when I would lose my dental insurance I've paid into all year long and have yet to use. I was freaking out. I started looking into other companies and by the grace of the dentist gods I found SmileStyle. I called and explained my super unique situation considering I still had a temp crown and that I had days before my insurance was expiring and they said they could take me in. I was shocked, as the company I already had established care with was unable to accommodate me even though I had paid thousands into services already. I digress. Despite how unique and dire my situation they took me the same week and it has been the best experience I've had at the dentist. Victoria (name I think!), at the front was so awesome and made me feel comfortable. Plus she was the one that listened and understood my difficult urgent situation without judgement! Then sir Eric came and gave me a tour of the studio - it's freaking gorgeous. It feels more like a wellness center than a dental office. They even have a massage chair and can make crowns the same day (I've been waiting weeks for my crown from the other place). Really great technology all throughout the facility. Eric is a HOOT. He assisted Dr. Ortega in treating me and they are a super great tag team. Dr. Ortega is so smart, kind but also will help make you laugh in a somewhat unfortunate situation (I needed a really deep DEEP cleaning which sucked, take care of your teeth young people!). Then Callie/Kayla/Karla??? I'm so sorry I'm bad with names when I'm in panic mode, but a wonderful lady came in to help walk me through paperwork and to review options of the timing of the procedure. OMG SHE IS THE BEST. Made me crack up when I had tears in my eyes about losing my job. I'm 36 ya'll, takes a lot for me to crack. Thank you so much for helping me and making sure I understood the monetary side of things. Plus, I'm still up for adoption if you will take me in ;-) What really stood out to me was that Dr. Ortega and Eric spent several unplanned hours working on my mouth, when really I was there for a routine cleaning. That means they will go above and beyond to ensure they help you and do the RIGHT thing, not the EASY thing. Thank you for that. Then finally the queen herself Dr. Kerry came in. Talk about one of the most genuinely friendly dentists I've ever met. She greeted me and before talking next steps she just wanted to make sure I'm ok because of my insurance expiring I was spiraling. She then went over the future of my mouth, options to ensure we are proactive and not reactive. She is so knowledgeable but explains in layman's terms that my brain understood. I've been presented similar options in the past, but never in a way that was visual and with meaning, typically I just receive a piece of paper with a recommendation haha. This was meaningful and purposeful, and actually made realistic sense. Ya'll rock, the fact that I could get a long, custom procedure in such a short crunch time in order to hit my insurance is literally a blessing. The very next day I got a call from the Dr. checking up on me and seeing if I have questions, I've never really been followed up from my actual dentist before it's always the front desk..that also was genuinely appreciated. Thanks everyone, anyone considering SmileStyle should absolutely go! 11/10 would recommend. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Patients often ask me if my teeth ever need work. When I tell them I do have dental problems,…read morethey're surprised and say: "Wow! How? Aren't you a dentist?" Unfortunately, my teeth don't know I'm a dentist. Another question I get all the time is: "Where do you go for your dental work?" For more than 15 years, I've trusted Dr. Kerry. She's incredibly talented and caring -- the best combination you could ask for in a healthcare professional. She has also built and trained a wonderful team. Thank you to everyone at Smile Style!

I've been a patient at Bella Vita since 2019. For years, I raved about their services…read more Unfortunately, that's no longer the case. At my last cleaning, I was repeatedly pushed toward a deep cleaning I didn't want or need. It took three firm "no" responses before the receptionist finally dropped it. I went into my most recent appointment already hesitant, and to no surprise, the same thing happened again. This time, I confronted them about it and ultimately walked out without receiving the cleaning I scheduled. Their entire process seems to have been reversed. What used to be: X-rays cleaning recommendations has become: X-rays gum measurements a sales pitch for $3,000+ worth of treatment pressure to commit before receiving the service you came in for. After I told the receptionist I simply wanted the cleaning I had scheduled, the hygienist came in and immediately asked, "What's your hesitation?" That felt less like patient care and more like a sales tactic. When I voluntarily schedule and pay for a dental appointment, I expect to receive the service I came for - not a high-pressure sales pitch. I will not be returning, and I will not be recommending Bella Vita. What was once a practice with great service and kind people now feels more like a dental dealership focused on upselling before patient care. It's a shame. You had something good, and you squandered it.

After reading some of the other reviews, I realized I wasn't alone in my experience. I recently…read moremoved out of state and started going to Bella Vita. As soon as I arrived, they told me I suddenly had multiple cavities and needed a crown. For context, I've always been strict with my dental hygiene--regular appointments, flossing daily, no pain, and my previous dentist rarely found anything wrong. Because I take my dental health seriously, I told them to proceed with whatever treatment they believed was necessary, but only if they confirmed everything with my insurance first. They assured me it was all covered, so I went ahead with the fillings and crown. After the work was done, I was suddenly told that my insurance didn't cover everything, and I was left with a $1,000 bill. They offered a $150 discount, which felt dismissive. It's clear they don't prioritize patients and will find ways to overcharge. UPDATE: I have recently been in contact with their practice manager, Bree. She is currently assisting me with my account and the amount owed that was sent to collections. She let me know that she could see the discrepancies and is A assisting me with the amount owed and removing it off of collections.

I love this place and would recommend it to anyone who's scared of the dentist like I was! Now I actually do enjoy going & always have a good experience. I've had so many services done by them - cleanings, filings, crowns, implants, and the service & experience has been so incredible! They also have pretty top notch technology - which is super cool because they will explain it to you if you ask. But because they take so many pictures and scans, they really can explain to you the status of your teeth and help you get back on track. I know some people are worried about getting scammed, but this place will show you x-rays and pictures taken in real time so you can understand everything as well. 10/10 experience. I've been coming here for years and after your first appointment the staff gets to you know pretty well. This year I also got a Christmas gift (chocolates). All the people are so easy to talk to and it really creates a solid community in such a big city!

(I'm in the process of searching for a prostodontist to finish my full mouth rehab and have visited several other prostodontists in the area). Some of the OTHER dentists made me feel ashamed, spoke down to me, got upset for asking questions, acted in a hurry, were super expensive, didn't explain treatment and all kinds of other negative things; it was the complete opposite with doctor Paredes! I am really impressed by doctor Paredes! He is very polite and takes time to answer any questions, he is well spoken, well educated and has a lot of patience even with an extra inquisitive, anxious person like myself. Never did I feel rushed with him and he always took the time to explain things fully and face to face with me. I had the feeling by talking with him that he is the type of person that believes that no question is a stupid question. I'm still taking a little time to choose who I'll commit to for my treatment but sofar of the many doctors I've researched and met with he is the nicest, more caring and well spoken specialists in the area! Definitely give him a try if you have complex dental needs and are looking for a true professional!

However, I was really disappointed when no one at his office returned my three voicemails or replied to my message on his website requesting an appointment. This occurred over 4 days; I was being patient. Either he is so busy that he can't accept new patients, or his staff is not doing their job and causing him to lose potential patients. I would not have wasted my time if there had been a notice on the website or voicemail stating that Dr. Paredes is not accepting new patients. Hopefully, the doctor reads this and is made aware of the issue.

My issue is that everyone who works in the office seems oppressed, and not upbeat. Also, the dentists always criticize something about my dental routine, and even though I truly try to take good care of my precious teeth, I am always sent on my way feeling chastised and shamed. My past dental care was never like this. So though my criticism seems irrelevant, because the care is good, the overall ethos of this business needs a kick in the pants because now I dread my appointments.

Last year I decided to do the major work needed to bring my smile back. This decision was done in large part to the confidence I had in Dr. Collins. The process took about nine months and involved removing all existing teeth and crowns and putting in 28 new crowns. The process was easier and quicker than I expected (I did opt for sedation dentistry which certainly helped relieve almost all of the of the discomfort of the procedures).
