A very friendly receptionist called me the next morning and I was given an appointment the following day. Their schedule is very flexible and I am grateful they were able to see me so quickly. I went in for a routine exam/cleaning and found I had two cavities. They were able to get them filled in that appointment and took scans for retainers so my teeth don't shift (sorry, mom, the dog ate mine from grade school). All in the same appointment! Every staff member I interacted with was warm and pleasant. Special shout out to Paige for her exceptional care and consideration. She was sure to explain everything that was happening or going to happen throughout the entire appointment. Truly a top notch dental assistant! Dr. Christoper Coulter was wonderful as well and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process and took special measures to ensure maximum comfort and satisfaction during a dreaded process. Monika was the dental hygienist that cleaned my teeth and she also took special measures to ensure I understood what she was looking for and how the process was going to work. Overall, no one really enjoys going to the dentist, but this place is top notch. By far the best dental clinic I have ever been to. They have set a very high bar for standard of care from the receptionists to the doctors everyone was outstanding. 10/10!

I was extremely hesitant because 1) I hadn't been to the dentist in so long and 2) I didn't have dental insurance. The nice thing about New Brighton Family Dentistry is that they offer a package for customers who don't have insurance, which I really appreciated. I think I saved an overall $200 dollars on my visit! During this visit the staff were amazing and so patient with me: the women to run the reception area, the dental hygienist that cleaned my teeth, the radiologist who took X-rays, and finally, Dr. Grayson! During that visit they ended up fining a cavity and wrote me up a treatment plan with all costs included. This was great because it helped me to plan in advance for the procedures. Dr. Grayson was very gentle when administering the novacaine and drilling on my teeth! Another thing that I liked was how they use a tooth colored filling! In addition, I've always been interested in getting Invisalign, and Dr. Grayson was willing to sit down with me and talk about ALL of my concerns. Overall, I love this clinic. I think that the staff are hospitable, friendly, and most importantly, honest. All of their pricing is clear and they impose no pressure on their patients to proceed with a treatment. I'm about to start my Invisalign treatment under the guidance of Dr. Grayson. I am confident that it will be a smooth process and that we will have positive outcomes all together! Definitely try them out

I can't believe I'm writing this but I'm literally in tears from the experience I just had with…read moreAlmond Dental. I switched to them over a year ago from the dental clinic my family had been going to for 30 years, and had been recommending that my family do the same because I loved the convenience, competence and friendliness at Almond. In May, almost two months ago, I went in for a quick exam to evaluate a sharp pain in one spot on one tooth. I saw Dr. Lam and she tapped around that tooth but couldn't find the spot that was causing my pain. The pain had only been there for around two weeks, which she said wasn't long enough to investigate further. She suggested it was from clenching my teeth at night and recommended a night guard. I have had brief episodes of clenching in the past and it results in a totally different dull jaw ache so I said I really did not think that was the issue. I also already have a night guard. I then proceeded to leave town for almost two months and decided to just avoid hitting that tooth until I could come back and have it checked out again. I had told them I might go to another clinic while I was out of town but ultimately decided to wait because I overall trusted Almond and wanted continuity. Last week, I scheduled an appointment for this afternoon. This morning, I got a call informing me that my appointment was being canceled because Dr. Lam didn't want to see me and none of the other dentists wanted to take over. All because I disagreed with her initial conclusion after a 10 minute exam, based on knowing what normal and abnormal pain is like in the teeth I've had for 25+ years. I am still in disbelief that this is how Almond operates.

That being said I have NEVER had such an amazing experience and have never been so comfortable during the whole process! Even when I voiced that I was getting nervous my dentist stopped everything and talked me through the options and made me feel comfortable and confident in the plans moving forward. I felt like a person that was getting help from a professional and not the usual distant non personal experiences. I cannot say enough good things about Bass Lake Dental, everyone was kind and helpful and was there to help you feel confident and comfortable the whole time. I've found my forever dentist here and I hope you do to!

For over 10 years we went to a top 10 rated Twin Cities dentist in Highland Park. But as we all got older and our dental needs increased, it was just too inconvenient driving all the way to the Macalaster College area from the northwest suburbs. Last summer, we interviewed 6 dental offices within a 3 mile radius of our home. River's Bend had, by far, the best dentist with the best reviews and the most professional staff. Ironically, they also had the best prices with their own in-house insurance program. The office is very beautiful too. It's designed like a rustic cabin with lots of wood, especially cedar - nice! Rumor has it that Dr. O's wife is an interior designer and she designed the whole office. My only problem is that Dr. Schultheis is close to retirement age. So we don't know what will happen when he finally decides to retire. Hopefully, we'll be seeing him for a few more years. Thanks, River's Bend Family Dental Clinic! -Daddy Maxx Retro

Exorbitant, Neglectful, Inadequate - Overall Worst place to go…read more The dental cleaning experience at this establishment was not only exorbitant but also neglectful and inadequate, making it an overall worst place to go. If you are reading this, take my word and never visit this place. They are fraudulent. Let me share the whole story for you to make an informed decision. I had a dental cleaning appointment. At reception, the lady was nice and did all the paperwork politely. When I went to see the nurse, I specifically told her that I only wanted to do what my insurance covers. However, she gave me an estimate that, sir, sorry, but you will end up paying $202 on top of your insurance. Despite my reservations, I agreed and said to go ahead and start the procedure. They completed the first half of the cleaning, and upon returning to the front desk for check-out, the receptionist handed me a bill of $175. I was slightly surprised, as the whole estimate was $202. I assumed they probably charged me less for the second half, so I requested to the receptionist that I'll pay the whole bill after my second visit. Then, a day before my second visit, they sent me a bill of $230, with overall charges of $1149. The amount paid by my insurance was $436.72, and I owed $230, according to the bill. I called them and asked why I got the bill of $230.48 when I was billed $175 during my check-out on the day of service. They told me that, sorry sir, but the lady who was billing you on the day didn't give you the full bill for some unknown reason, and this is your final bill for the first visit. I was shocked by how they convinced me by giving the estimate of $202 for the whole cleaning process and ended up charging $230.487 only for the first visit. They didn't have any explanation for this, and I had to cancel the second visit to avoid another $230 (or probably more, as they would have made some excuse regarding one of my cavities and ended up charging way more - who knows). Now, let me add the worst part - Their dental cleaning sucks - I asked the nurse to show me the pre and post-cleaning photos to verify the level of cleanliness, and she only took a photo of the front 2 teeth and showed it to me. After coming home when I checked, I hardly noticed any difference, and I was planning to discuss this during my second visit, but now I won't as I am canceling my second visit. Please save yourself from this cheating. I'll inform my co-workers at work not to visit this place, as unfortunately, this is one of the places covered under my insurance. If I have the option, I'll give feedback to my insurance company as well to remove this clinic from their list. Shameful.
