Perfect Teeth

I am very pleased with Perfect Teeth.
They do great dental work.
They can get me in quickly when needed. They’ve been great when my schedule was tight.
Staff are friendly, professional, warm.
I save money with their plan and they are affordable and I can make payments for bigger «jobs».
I recommend them.

I had to have an root canal done and this place was one that my insurance would cover. But after reading the so-​so reviews for this place, I was hesitant to go. I hate going to the dentist in general. However, I decided to go through with the treatment anyway because of my pain. I saw Dr. Becker who was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and talked me through what she was doing (since this was my first root canal). I had a great experience that was done in under an hour and efficient. Overall, this place was convenient and allowed me to get the treatment I needed.

Went in for my initial appointment at this place for x rays and a check up. During the exam there was a lot of talk that i did not understand. After the exam the hygienist walked me out, and at this time I had to ask how everything went. She informed me I had 5 cavities and needed a cap. Would have been really nice to have this explained to me while im still in the chair, with the dentist present, as I had some questions that now had to be directed toward the receptionist. Then, the receptionist told me that the cost of the damage would be $ 300. No big deal, right? except my insurance covers 100% of filling costs. Upon further querying with my insurance, they informed me it all should be covered, however the fillings they were going to use on me were white fillings which are only covered at 60%. When i called back and got the receptionist, she informed me they don’t get paid for regular silver fillings (that last longer than the white fillings), which is why they had me down for the white fillings. After she said that, it all clicked for me. I got a sense of how this practice operates. I left feeling pretty skeptical of the whole place. I wont be going back.

So I found these guys through my insurance. The cleaning an customer service at the first site was great. Found out I needed a surgical procedure due to defect. At the time I’m writing this review will be the 5^th time I’ve had to find a different time to perform this procedure due to the scheduling. As a whole they have been difficult if not unruly with regards to being helpful or accommodating. On top of that I asked for a different doctor and now they are stating that it’s possible that I may pay more or less for that. Perfect teeth– you just suck.

I ended up on Unilocal tonight because I was researching local orthodontists for our daughter, and I happened to see the negative review on Arvada PT from another patient. I’d just like to put in my 2c.
Our family has gone to Arvada PT for, oh, about 5 years now, and we’ve mostly had great experiences.
Between the 3 of us (2 adults with the usual sorts of mid-​life teeth and gum issues, and a kid who has been there for baby teeth to molars), we have had multiple root canals, a gum graft, and a tooth extraction. All of these procedures went very well. The adults go in 3x/​year for perio cleanings/​exams and the kid goes in for cleanings/​exams 2x/​year, so we see these folks regularly.
Dr. Parsons, Dr. Hymer and her assistant, Dr. Hardy, Dr. Karmali (formerly at PT, now at his own practice in Denver Stapleton) Libby, and almost everyone else we’ve dealt with have all been extremely competent and up-​to-​date with technology and techniques, and our dental health has markedly improved under their care.
The one less-​than-​satisfactory issue we have ever experienced on the dentistry front was with the PT orthodontist. Last year, we had an evaluation for our daughter’s orthodontics needs, and the orthodontist was juggling another patient in the chair at the same time he was talking with us. Maybe we just caught him on a very busy day. Anyway, my daughter and I would have preferred a more private, less-​rushed conversation. Some kind of written material to describe or at least list the diagnosed problems and treatment options would also have been very helpful. Both of us came away from that experience thinking that we’d like to shop around a little more on the orthodontist front. (Which, a year later, I’m finally getting around to doing, but that’s another story!)
We’ve never had any problems with admin or billing. The absolute closest thing to a problem there used to be those pesky periodic appointment reminder calls, until I finally had the sense to ask if we could be taken off the call list.
All in all, we’re very grateful we have such a good dental team! I don’t often do online reviews, but this time I really felt the need to share our good experience.

PROBLEM #1
My 5 year old went in for a check-​up and the dentist told us our child needed 3 – 5 root canals and 3 – 5 crowns and wanted to do the procedure in the hospital under full anesthesia… it was going to be in thousands of dollars! As you can imagine we were shocked, we actually do pretty good at brushing, flossing and using a mouth rinse every day.
We took her to a different pediatric dentist for a second opinion, she reviewed the x-​rays and took some new ones and told us our child had 3 – 4 small cavities and she wanted to redo one filling. Total cost was just over $ 400 and all they used was laughing gas and my child was perfectly fine.
PROBLEM #2
I had one bad checkup that required a Periodontal Cleaning and I was fine with it. The next cleaning they told me my teeth and gums improved a lot but they still wanted to do another Periodontal Cleaning instead of a normal (fully covered cleaning), I was again said OK. Today I went for my cleaning and told them I wanted a standard cleaning and could not afford the Periodontal Cleaning this time. They told me they would have to see how the dentist felt about that, I politely told them I am the customer and I want a normal cleaning. The Office Manager came to the desk and told me they could not do that, I told them fine and asked for a copy of my records and I would go to another dentist. Without any hesitation or care, she said it will be a few minutes and started the procedure. So they rather do NO CLEANING than a basic cleaning… that does not sound like a caring office to me.
I told them they had already lost my daughters business and now they lost mine, that was met with no response at all.
Make up your own mind and good luck.

Going to the dentist is not fun, but this one is not bad.
