University Hills Modern Dentistry

Great staff. They explain the bill. Bit expensive for me since my insurance doesn’t cover everything. My dentist there for 2 years was already gone. I had a new one. The Dental Asst. did lay my crown good thing it fit well. I know every check up and cleaning the dentist would recommend for dental works. If its not necessary decline it they just want money unless your insurance covers it.

The oral surgeon who pulled my tooth was rude and gruff. He had the manner of a disturbed person with consideration for his patient.

I went to have some fillings replaced. The dental assistant (pretty sure it was her first day/​week) incorrectly cemented my filling. They had to PRY the filling out of my mouth and redo. I feel like this is something that the dentist should have originally done. Did not like the fact that that there were about 5 different people working on my mouth. Don’t send a dental assistant in to do what the doctor should.

Reviews are important because they circumvent commercial messages and give a voice to the average customer. Followup assessments are even more important, as they reveal consistencies or lack thereof.
I noticed a small discoloration on one of my premolars. Concerned that it might be a cavity, I came into University Hills Modern Dentistry in between checkups. The Doctor of Dental Surgery, Aleksander Orlik, assessed the situation and informed me that the blemish was merely a stain. The unique curvatures of that tooth had allowed for residue to settle in. Dr. Orlik promptly cleaned the area in question and then filed the unevenness away.
I went to the counter expecting to pay something for the consultation and services; to my great elation, I was informed that I owed nothing. I had been there a mere three months before for a teeth cleaning, so it fail under the purview of a touch-​up.
I love University Hills Modern Dentistry and the wonderful staff!

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE! Worst experience ever! Tried to coerce me into getting all my wisdom teeth out, by telling met hat my insurance wouldn’t cover me only getting one tooth out. SIKE, my insurance did cover it, they just wanted more money. Initially they had told me I had the option of being numb or being put to sleep. I choose being numbed, then they reneged and told me I had to be put to sleep or my insurance wouldn’t cover it. Everyone in the office was rude except for Amber, she was very understanding, patient, and the least intrusive/​forceful person in the office.

STAY AWAY FROM ALL MODERN DENTISTRY LOCATIONS.
They do unnecessary work and even put a crown on a dead tooth leading to an infection.
You will not leave this place without them telling you that your teeth need at least $ 1000 in work.

Wow, I read the other reviews and I can’t believe that everyone had such a bad experience. The staffing or policies must of changed, because they were great with me. I had no issues, got in the same day and was treated very professionally. It could be because I ran everything through my dental insurance, which is why I chose to go there.

Bait & Switch
Like Neal & Mary, I too thought this would be a great way to save money.
Bad idea.
$ 59 for exam, cleaning & xrays… in the absence of gum disease, which you will promptly be diagnosed with and then charged over $ 1000.

I have had a good experience here. I love the staff, and Dr. Buss is gentle with giving shots. I had horrible tooth pain and Dr. Buss got me in on a referral that very day.

I had the exact same experience described by Neal B. The hygenist was not in… I came back and it ended up costing $ 968. for a cleaning. My son was told that he had 4 cavities and each would cost $ 700. They were VERY concerned about him and said he should have the work done asap. He is 19 and hasn’t had a single cavity since he was 13. I was shocked but now I understand. I am taking him to his old trusted dentist next week and see what he says. I ordered the X-​Rays this morning to have them transferred. Not two hours later I get a voicemail from them offering me $ 200 off my next service! What a SCAM!

CONSUMER BEWARE!
I would strongly advise that you read this review and the others on the «Cherry Creek Modern Dentistry» page as well before you decide to do anything at this dentist.
I have never had a cavity in my life. I went to this office drawn in by the $ 40 cleaning as I am a grad student and can’t afford much more.
I should have known it was a scam as soon as they sat me in the chair and the first person I saw was the dentist. I was thinking «Doesn’t the dentist usually see you last during a cleaning?» While I was in the chair (which is a vulnerable position) she tried to tell me that I had 3 definite cavities and that 5 more of my teeth were on the way. I was shocked to say the least. Then they brought back the «financial manager» to discuss payment plans. In all, the treatment they recommended would cost me $ 2,590 if I joined one of their «discount» programs.
Then, they didn’t even clean my teeth! They said their hygienist was «out of the office» and I had to make a second appt to come back to actually get my teeth cleaned.
I was very disturbed by all this so I went to get a second opinion from another dentist who I have worked with before and trust (and should have gone to in the first place… alas, money concerns make us do strange things) He did a full cleaning and did a thorough check along with xrays and noted that they were indeed, NOT CAVITIES.
I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you NOT go to University Hills Modern Dentistry. As I stated before, read similar reviews on the Cherry Creek Modern Dentistry page on Unilocal so you can see that this was not an isolated incident.
