The dentist is wonderful, I have never walked out of a dentist office satisfied with my experience until switching to Columbia Prime Dental.

So sad our favorite dentist is no longer at Pearl Smiles. I asked where she had gone to, and the…read morereceptionist's answer was too vague to determine the whereabouts. Without her, it's three stars at best. I doubt we will return here though. My last experience with the remaining dentist was unfavorable. She pulled out a molar and sent me to an implant practice without discussing other possible or cheaper options. Made me feel awkward. Oh well. It's a convenient location but not for us anymore.

I have nothing but the highest reviews for D. Goitum. They are no longer taking my insurance so I…read morehave found another provider. This review is for the front office which failed 100% of the time to send invoices they said they would send after my making payment and also my asking for xrays to send to my new dentist. I have had to call several times because they never responded to my emails to have the invoices and xrays sent. Miserable experience. This extra effort delayed my claims to get reimbursed requiring me to follow up several times for every invoice.

Prior to going to this office, I'd always associated going to the dentist with being treated like I…read moream invisible and then, at the end of the appointment, being bullied into treatments. This office is the exact opposite. Linda treats you like a person the minute she sits down with you. She tells YOU what she sees during the cleaning vs talking straight terminology with the hygentist and ignoring you. She will be honest at the get go and doesn't hold "bad news" until the end of the visit like most dentists. She also doesn't bully you into treatments, especially with the "You must get this treated ASAP or your teeth will rot out instantly!" line that so many dentists try to use to freak people out into getting things done. If something isn't deadly urgent, she doesn't make it out that way. All in all, I used to get really stressed about the dentist and now, it's no big deal. I have to get something fixed after today's appointment, but the way Linda presented it made me feel okay about it versus other dentists who have almost tried to make me feel guilty despite being an avid brusher. Definitely recommend!

Unfortunately, my recent experience made it overwhelmingly clear that the quality of service and respect you receive here is determined by the color of your skin.

We will absolutely be taking our business elsewhere to a practice that values all of its patients equitably.

My experience here was really troubling. I was looking for a dental practice closer to home and…read moremade an appointment for a routine cleaning - I'm usually really good about going every 6 months but due to another medical condition I'd been dealing with I hadn't been able to make the time for a checkup in close to 2 years. I've never had any major challenges, always very straightforward visits with the occasional issues. I appreciated the office accommodating my availability. I completed my paperwork in advance, arrived early for my appt and checked in , only to have 4 people come in after me be seen first. I thought it was really odd that the front desk called my cell phone looking for me while I was in the small waiting room but wrote it off. I was finally taken back 25 mins after my appt time. I was told a full new set of x-rays was needed which made sense, but was then informed it was 28 different photos. This felt really high to me but didn't question it; aside from the x-rat exposure it was also quite painful to have to repeatedly bite down on the positioned for the photos. A few minutes in a piece of the equipment fell off the machine onto me; the hygienist reattached it without apologizing. Before the dentist came I was informed that I could purchase add-ons that insurance doesn't cover, like fluoride and numbing cream. The latter should have been my cue to get up and leave. I'd never heard of such a thing in taking myself and my children to the dentist for many years. I declined. The male dentist was personable but was very aggressive in his technique. I'd never seen / tasted so much blood during a routine cleaning, which he claimed was due to the long time in between cleanings and/or some weakening of gums from my medical condition. I've got a pretty high threshold for pain but it reached a point where I finally had to cry out for him to stop. He quickly started shouting out an extensive list of cavaties, stains, and other damage - including damage to all four wisdom teeth that could potentially be "monitored" instead of instantly removed. When the exam was over I was given an itemized list of fillings / treatments / follow ups and the estimated bill to match and asked to immediately sign it. Normally I'm used to concluding an appt with a bit more guidance, kindness, and even a new toothbrush. This was such a bizarre and painful experience and it felt like I was being pushed into work that I suspect I don't need. I won't be back and will go elsewhere for another look. I'm just thankful that I endured this and not one of my children. I deeply regret not having checked out other reviews before giving this practice a try.

Fell out within the month and returned. Tech clamped onto crown with pliers and proceeded to drill out old glue, promising to "...use the strong glue this time". It did not sit well, so they clamped down on it again and drilled more, before finishing the install. 2.5 years later the porcelain chips off on the side, at the gumline base... clearly from stress fractures from the previous work. I return again for it, and make it clear that I want no work performed that is going to cost me out-of-pocket for this specific crown AGAIN! I stated this not once or twice but at least five times, because they were putting the bib on as if starting work. The dentist convinced me I would not be charged because the picture they are taking is for insurance Preapproval, assuring me they would be in touch as soon as they heard back from Insurance. four months later, still not hearing back about my tooth fix, I receive a bill in the mail for not only the picture they took but also an unknown missed appt. (no). So I called to escalate after the bill came. The phone person explain they still hadn't heard from Insurance, but would be in touch as soon as they did. To this day, another year+ later, i've still not heard a resolve to my broken crown. HOWEVER, I have heard from Equifax that this office had the audacity to send such a fraudulent/unauthorized $97 charge for collection. (considering the several thousands i've paid before leaving in previous work/appts they want to consider I would leave without paying 97 if it was due that appt AND tried to suggest that I not only didn't pay $97 but then I made another appointment before leaving....really???? Now I would rather pay a lawyer five times as much to address the real problem, before promoting this kind of unauthorized activity

Not only did they do the tongue check for oral cancer but they also have this other tool that shines some sort of purple light in your mouth and if there's any lesions or signs of oral cancer, it makes it shine green. She not only checked inside my mouth but felt around my neck and jawline as well for lymph nodes, muscles, and bones. They performed my cleaning and did a routine X-ray. The doctor is very thorough. I've been wanting to get braces again to fix my underbite and I had also seen that they have services for TMJ pain, which I was told I had, so I brought that up during my visit. The doctor checked my mouth, and for the first time ever, said that I don't have TMJ, but that my bottom jaw just didn't grow when it was supposed to leaving me with both an underbite and jaw pain and popping that isn't from TMJ, but from a lower jaw that is just too small. She referred me to an oral surgeon and said that my teeth are actually pretty straight so braces wouldn't be a good option for me, but I would have to have an oral surgery done to fix the lower jaw if I wanted to fix the underbite. The office is brand new, very clean and up to date. They offered accommodations before my appointment like earplugs, dark sunglasses for the bright light, and something else that I can't remember. I really appreciate this and went with the dark sunglasses. They have two TVs for you to watch something while you're getting your teeth cleaned, one on the wall and one on the ceiling. I watched Brooklyn 99 during my cleaning. They also have a seating area and mini fridge stocked with drinks. I took home a seltzer. I love that my new dentist is literally on my street. It felt very European to walk out my front door and across the street to my dentist appointment. They accept insurance and I already booked my next appointment and referred two more people to their practice.
