Modern Dental Care

Not a very caring atmosphere. It seems like the assistants do more then the dentist. The people at the front desk are all very rude and have really bad attitudes. I wouldn’t recommend this practice.

Whenever I visited this place for my appointment, I have to wait at least 20 min and sometimes more than 45 min. It sucks. It is worse than any regular doctors office. One day while I was waiting for my appointment more than 15 min, one of reception people asked me «if I don’t mind, would you make a new appointment because there is some complication back there». I was shock. I never ever have that kind of request ever before. They literally wasted my time! Whenever my treatment is done, I will never ever use this place ever! Because I paid all my treatment already, I should use this place. It sucks.

You all have taken such great care of my husband and I. I’ve had quite a bit of dental work in the past. Dr. Edington and his staff have done a perfect job on my teeth. I wouldn’t trust them to anyone else! You all are truly The Best! Thank you!

After receiving a bill for head shots that they did «just in case» I wanted Invisalign, that my insurance did not cover I was upset. Then I made my appointment for a procedure and was numbed only to find that the doctor was called away on some other business. The staff is rude and condescending. They will only try to sell you on Invisalign (even if you admittedly don’t need it), they won’t try to help you in anyway. This place is out for your money and in no way cares about its patients.

I used to love going here, the front staff was very friendly. Called today to make an appointment and I think her name was Maria, she’s rude. Sorry but if your front office is rude it’s a reflection of the dentist. It’s sad cause I really liked him. O well I’ll take my business elsewhere.

I tried Modern Dental care several months ago to get a teeth cleaning. They charged me significantly more than my regular dentist for teeth cleaning because they said I needed the additional services. I agreed to pay it since I was already there.
While the hygienist did a good job, I was really put off with the «hard sell» to go with their invisalign system at a cost of thousands of dollars.
Now I get a notice in the mail about a «no show» fee. I don’t recall making any appointment with them and I certainly never confirmed any such appointments. I guess they just charge you $ 55 whether there is a confirmed appt or not. I’m assuming they just schedule you in automatically or something. Needless to say I wont be using this company again and I would dissuade any one else from considering them as well.
I really feel like this company only suggests things to try to get money out of you. After receiving this ridiculous no show fee, now I’m convinced it’s not a dentist who cares about you. Just your money.

As much as any person doesn’t want to go to the dentist, this is one of the better places. After doing research for dental care. I picked this place. Dr. Mark Eddington is the best dentist. Libbey is a great dental hygienist and very caring during your visit. I would not go to anyone else!!!

I’ve been at the 700 E. Silverado Ranch Blvd location twice in the last 18 months from this review. I’ve had two cleanings and a little dental epoxy placed over a few exposed roots. I’ve always been treated well and the service has been very good. My only complaint is that, at other dentists I’ve been to in the Vegas valley, I was able to have my teeth cleaned by using a sonic scalier instead of the old fashioned metal pick. Other than that, I’d say Dr. Mark Edington and his staff are by far the best dentists that I have found here. I’ve lived in Las Vegas for over nine years now and been to four different dentists in that time frame.

It’s hard to find an honest, professional dentist in the Las Vegas valley, but this is definitely one of them!

Staff and Dr are so talented, proficient and caring. They all work together to make it as comfortable and pleasant of an experience as possible. I was really nervous about getting a filing because I know I’d have to get anesthetic.. To my surprise, I didn’t feel a thing! Dr Edington is so talented. His work is flawless and you can tell he is a perfectionist and loves what he does.

This place is awesome. The staff is always super friendly and professional. They even offer free water bottles to clients while they wait which is a nice welcoming touch. They are very efficient, I was checked in and having my cleaning in a matter of ten minutes. They also are really good about reminding you of you appointment. I receive text messages from them to remind me, which is great. Overall great experience.

I’ve been going to Modern Dental for a couple years. Im always impressed at the friendly professional treatment. Even after moving out of town, Id rather travel to see them instead of finding a new dentist. No one likes to go the dentist, but they make the experience pleasant. Dr. Edington takes the time to explain procedures and really cares about his patients. Lori and the front desk are awesome! They always greet me with a smile and friendly attitude. I feel they go above and beyond what is expected. I would definitely recommend them.

I finally found a dentist I can trust, its such a relief! Dr. Edington goes above and beyond to take extra great care of his patients. It is rare these days to have a Dr. take the time and effort to assess the patience needs and give nothing but the best individualized care. He is a true «perfectionist,» and is very thorough,
but gentle. I have had such bad experiences with dentist in the past, I have had crowns put on wrong and pain miss diagnosed, I even developed a phoebe to dentist. Dr. Edington helped me over come that, he not only addressed my fears, but made sure I understood his care plan, and ensured that I was comfortable and relaxed during the entire procedure. He has also given me great advice on how to care for my teeth so don’t have problems in the future.
I have been to this office several times and the staff is so welcoming and kind. Each staff member is well trained and committed to the high standards held by Dr. Edington. If you are looking for Dental Care with high standards and ethical practices, and is affordable, Modern Dental Care will not disappoint!

Ask for credit card while STILL IN THE CHAIR before work was begun!

My experience at Modern Dental has been great! I am always greeted by a staff who knows my name and offers a bottle of water. Dr. Edington is incredibly friendly. I had to have a wisdom tooth extracted and was a bit nervous. He talked to me the entire time and was quick. I love my hygienist as well, and I hate that I can’t remember her name…
Overall, a great office and staff. I will never go to another dentist while living in Las Vegas!

update:
Got 2 calls out of the blue from modern today asking me to update my review because it was factually incorrect. According to THEIR records I was only advised i needed crowns, not root canals. They did not deny any of the other facts. My last 2 dentists have remarked that I have incredible teeth and that they’re in great shape.
Went in for a routine checkup with slight pain in 1 tooth, dentist informed me I had 7 cavities to fill and 2 root canals. Allowed him to do 1 cavity (big mistake), filling wasn’t seated correctly and had to be redone.
Visited my family dentist back home for 2^nd opinion who informed me that not only did none of my remaining teeth need to be touched but the amount of tooth removed for the very small cavity I had was 3x more than necessary.
It seems I’m not the only person who was treated like a sucker here.

There is no way I can TRUST this dentist.
«Be aware when the dentist recommends multiple crowns for seemingly small problems.»
I am new to town and wanted to check out a dentist that has great reviews.
So I tried Modern Dental. I went in for a cleaning — so after they did the xray and checked my gums out — they recommended — deep cleaning, and 4 crowns which is more than 3k worth of work (even with a discount plan).
I was completely abhorred by their prognosis. I had just seen my dentist from out east couple of months earlier and no major problems were reported. I happen to be back east for some vacation, so I dropped by the old trusted dentist again, and he looked at my teeth and basically said — you will be fine for another year or maybe 5 or 10.
When I look back at my experience with Modern dental I noticed that they are overly nice. They also have just one dentist and 6 to 10 support staff. There is a dedicated person who works with you regarding financing. There are 3 or for front staff people. The office is in pristine shape with all the bells and whistles — Who pays for all that?
If you think of the overhead required to pay for all the wages, that money has to come from somewhere.
I presume the way they make their money is by recommending that everyone get a crown (which they make in house), and they won’t settle for fixing just one tooth. if there is anything wrong with the tooth next to it — they recommend that that tooth be replaced with a crown as well.
I am sure he is a good dentist — but I cannot trust his judgment when he says I need something — because it feels like the things he is recommending is motivated by his pocket book.

Growing up, my mother wasn’t particularly vigilant at making sure I went to the dentist. I brushed everyday and never complained of pain so routine-​visits weren’t really necessary. *Cavity-​Free Club Yo* But alas, here I am in my early-20’s with an on-​set of OCD regarding my personal health & wellness so I’m now in the dental chair for regular cleanings and check-​ups.
After a botch dentist told me I had 5 cavities, I knew he must be a quack trying to leach from my wallet and drain my dental insurance. I asked around at work for a REAL dentist which legit business practices and I found my way to Dr. Mark Edington’s office. He came highly recommend and since then I haven’t been disappointed. He’s a nice guy and doesn’t make me feel self-​conscious over my gum issues. Which, might I add, are getting better.
And is it possible for so many genuinely nice people to exist in one office? The whole team is friendly! Administration, hygienists, dental assistants… They’re all friendly! And not just the B-​grade «Hi, how are you» friendly. I mean like people who are actually nice in and out of the office friendly. They actually remember that my name is Marian Yuhi Kim… and that I prefer to go by Yuhi. *gasp*
Every visit, Dr. Edington asked if I ever planned on taking my wisdom teeth out. They had all erupted (one of which was impacted) but they never bothered me. I talk for a living so I preferred not to deal with it. He never pushed the issue saying I «needed them out immediately» like so many other dentists would say. But finally two years later, by personal choice, I had all four of my wisdom teeth ripped out. Excuse me, ‘pulled out.’ And unless it’s the Valium talking, I have to say it was a much smoother experience than I was expecting. Other than the worst pain I’ve experienced in my whole life, I was pretty satisfied by the whole thing. In case anyone is wondering, the drugs didn’t work on me. Advil all the way!(800 mg of ibuprofen to be exact).
Next up, Invisalign.

These guys always do a great job. Out of all the dentists I have had in my life, the ones here are probably the best ones. They do the best job at cleaning as well as make it as pain free as possible. The hygienist are extremely thorough and well skilled in their profession. A friendly, comfortable, professional environment. I would not trust anyone else to do my dental treatments after finding this place. Great work!

From the moment I entered the office until I left… it was an A1 experience. I have not received that kind of superb treatment/​customer service in a long time. (Really ever if I can remember)
I enter the office and a smiling welcoming receptionist greeted my by my first name. I did not even have to introduce myself and she even pronounced my name correctly.
That just showed me right there how attentive she/​they were. Stephanie was her name and she even shook my hand. I had to fill out the usual paperwork and before I sat down to do so. I was offered some bottled water.
I was called in and xrays were done and had to go back to the waiting room because they were behind due to and emergency patient they had to take care of.
As I went back to the waiting room, Stephanie came out to me and handed me an envelope. She was very apologetic that I had to wait and she exclaimed they don’t like their patients to wait.
(OMG– they gave me a gift certificate for some frozen custard and a movie ticket!!!)
Who does that?
I have been to several medical appointments where I had to wait forever and not even a simple sorry was said.
They even have blankets for patients that might feel a little chill from the AC. I love it cold and love AC but it does get nippy just laying there. Next appointment I know how to dress. lol
For my next appointment I was given an appointment form-​time, date, etc but the important part was the breakdown of the total cost and what insurance will take care of and part is my responsibility.
My son’s appointment is coming up and my son says he hopes they are late so he can get comped. hahahahhaahha
I definitely will be spreading the word to my friends, family and co-​workers on how great this office is.
Oh ya– Dr. Edington is not bad to look at neither. (wink)
