I set up an appointment with High Country Dental for my fiancée, the deal was "$99 New Patient…read moreSpecial" And I understand that there's probably tax to be added onto that. Now, he went in mainly to get his teeth cleaned and when they found out that he hadn't been to the dentist in a long time and that he had a dead wisdom tooth in need of removal, they decided to not only NOT clean his teeth, but give him a laundry list of things they wanted him to come in for which totaled, in 10ish visits, out to about $16,050 or so all the while knowing we don't have insurance. They then scheduled another appointment next day after the original appointment for I don't even remember which of those things on that list they said he needed to come in for. The only reason they're getting 2 stars instead of 1 is because as far as I was told they did do the X-rays and "exam" which would be looking at the X-rays, asking questions, and telling him what they see and their thoughts. That's about it though. Also when I was talking to the front desk lady about payment for what they did do, she tried to charge about $105, so full price for not even doing the cleaning part, and when I told her I'm not paying full price for them not doing all the work promised by their website, she then told me I could pay $75 instead and I was going to but she made it seem like they'd already charged the $105 to my account so I told her that I couldn't pay both at the same time, only one or the other, but I think she misunderstood what I was trying to say because I probably didn't word it in a way that she could understand so she told me that I didn't need to pay but I couldn't go back, and my thought was that I didn't want to go back if they were just gonna try to take me for all I'm worth again. I live paycheck to paycheck like most do these days and it's hard to fit in important things like health related appointments with what little extra we can spare for them and I was expecting him to go in, get his cleaning and then we pay around $99 and go on our way, but these people decided that they wouldn't make it that easy. I've added pictures for what proof I can give. This was back on June 12th 2025, I've been meaning to review but time got away from me so I'm posting it now that I have a chance while I'm thinking about it. It was a frustrating situation. I know that his teeth need more work but all I asked for was a cleaning. The least they could have done was clean his teeth to the best of their ability and I'd have been fine with that, paid the bill and taken their list into consideration. Plain and simple. I hope anyone who chooses to come here doesn't get the same treatment and has a better experience than I.

I cannot say enough good things about High Country Dental! Dr. King is amazing, thorough,…read moreprofessional, and extremely nice! I talked to her about getting two dental Implants. After looking at my panoramic x-rays (Which were at no cost to me or my insurance) She decided that it would be better to refer me to a surgeon, due to my narrow gums. I respect her decision. It proves to me that she cares about me as a patient and wanting my procedure done perfectly. We also came up with a game plan together to replace two crowns that have worn out over time .My dental hygienist, Danette(sp?) was very thorough and gentle at cleaning my teeth. This office is beautiful, elegant, and relaxing. Every single person in this office is extremely nice and welcoming. I highly recommend High Country Dental!!!

It's fascinating seeing your own teeth. Partway through the cleaning, the hygenist handed me a q-tip with some vaseline because my lips were getting chapped.

I don't particularly fear the dentist or pain, but they are rather gentle. The office itself is very clean and modern and they always offer water and coffee.

My (adult) son is a patient of Dr. Essenmacher. She was going to replace all of his teeth with…read moreimplants. It was a combination of All-on-Four and non-permanent implants. That was 5 years ago and it has been h*ll for my son ever since. The implants didn't fit him correctly, which they refused to do anything about. Most of his teeth have broken, with only some being replaced. It is so bad right now that he can barely eat. Did I mention this was a $30K investment. Yes, between the surgery that was needed to prep for the implants, the implants themselves, and Dr. Essenmacher's fees, we paid $30,000 for 5 years of pain and misery. Now her solution is to get implants made from different material. To the tune of another $25K! Oh, but she'll do it for only $2,500. Another $2,500??!!! She should be covering the cost since we've already paid for the implants. And the most disappointing thing is that Dr Essenmacher portrays herself as a Christian woman. That is what made me suggest to my son that he sees her for the implants. This has been a 5-year nightmare with no end in sight. Please save yourself the agony and see someone who specializes in implants so you can get what you're paying for. Shirley

Imagine the devastation of experiencing an accident resulting in dental injury while out of town…read morefor work. You're unfamiliar with the area and have no dental relationship established. You do what anyone would do and search for the best available cosmetic/emergency dentist who is available closest to you. The reviews seemed positive enough, so I gave it a shot and hoped for the best. Boy, was that a mistake. Someone needs to check Colin's credentials, because I have my doubts that he spent the time in a collegiate setting required for a DDS. He does not articulate like an educated person, but beyond that he's an under-skilled and knowledge-lacking dentist. The amount of discomfort and pain caused by his lack of prowess was only topped by the aesthetically displeasing results. I will now have to get home to SoCal and have this $4,500 cosmetic dental job redone by an actual professional. I don't know what my expectations were for a dentist in Albuquerque, but they were definitely higher than this. Avoid like the plague

My wife finally asked them to see how much longer it would be as my apt , by the way my very 1st apt trying to go there off a referral recommendation was scheduled at 10:40am and here we are at 11:15 never even acknowledged . Then a lady most likely the office manager said yeah sorry there is a delay it's going to be another 20 maybe 30 minutes before we may get called in Although there were several patients that got there after us that were pulled in , so not sure what the problem is but what a waste of time We won't be going back there, to not even be acknowledged until 40 minutes after our appt was probably the worst professional customer service I have ever had and it's really unfortunate as I am in a lot of pain. If you are a new patient and your in pain I would not recommend going there as you will not even be acknowledged even when they are overstaffed in the office there was over 4 ladies sitting upfront and not 1 had the decency to inform us . Usually you would thing around the 15 minute mark you would be acknowledged For sure by the 20 minute mark after a past due appt time then to go into the 45 minute mark and finally asking about how much longer it will be to have another lady with 0 care for patients time and 0 empathy about the fact you schedule us in at 10 :40 and then don't even say anything is incredible rude and totally unacceptable as a place that is suppose to care about a patient and thier health and feelings ! Anyways I'm out and I dont recommend this place to anyone
