7th and Bell Dental Group and Orthodontics

I wish I read some of the other reviews before today. If you’re thinking of going to 7^th & Bell, don’t do it. Or if you do, don’t agree to pay for anything until you get a second opinion from another dentist. I loved the dentist and hygienist that worked there on my first two visits. Then I come back and they’re both gone! And now with the new people apparently I need all this work done. Why didn’t the other dentist catch this on my first visit? Or my second? All of a sudden within 6 months I need crowns? So I got suckered into getting it done, but came home feeling duped. And now almost $ 2000 in debt. Seriously, don’t be like me, get a second opinion first! The only reason they’re even getting 2 stars is because I like the Dental Assistants and the ladies at the front desk. I wish I knew where the other dentist and hygienist are now.

If you want to spend a lot of money on unnecessary dental work this is the place to go! My husband and I were both told we needed multiple crowns and fillings and we’re quoted incredibly high prices. We were both skeptical so we went to my old dentist for a consultation (we only had to switch because of changes to our insurance coverage) and he disagreed with more than half the work they wanted to do! We found a new dentist and she also disagreed with most of the work they were telling us needed to be done. There’s no doubt that the staff is friendly and it’s a beautiful facility but if being dealt with in an honest manner is important to you, find another dentist! At the very least, if it sounds sketchy, get a second opinion.

Polite, clean office and convienant hours. This place makes maintaining dental health easy. Keep it up.

I went in because I had pain and Dr. Schaefer fixed everything today and now I’m good. It was a great experience and very fast.

I am writing this review to spread awareness about a corrupt company in the hopes that this review will prevent other potential customers/​patients from being scammed like I almost was.
I came to this dentist office after another member of my family went for a cleaning and x-​rays. They are in walking distance of my house and I figured that for only $ 39, I might as well go ahead and get a cleaning and checkup. I am in my early 20’s and take good care of my teeth. I figured all they would tell me was that I need to floss more and possibly remove my wisdom teeth.
After arriving and waiting in the chair to be seen by a hygienist, she finally comes in and exams my gums. She started yelling out numbers 2 – 5, and just kept yelling 3,4,5,4,3,5,4,5 etc… I didn’t understand what this meant until later. The numbers are a scale of how healthy your gums are, 2 being healthy and 5 being unhealthy. She told me that I was on the verge of having gum disease and that I would need to come in for a «deep cleaning» right away to prevent from getting gingivitis or a disease. At this point I was very confused… I knew that I hadn’t been to a dentist in 2 years, due to a change in dental insurance, but I am a young adult that brushes and takes care of my teeth, my mouth feels fine and looks normal to me…
After she left and gave me that heartwarming news, the dentist came in and told me that I needed to consult about braces, which I already knew, and he then began to go on about how my gums are so unhealthy and I need this deep cleaning that everyone was talking about. I personally, have never heard of a deep cleaning before. Every time that I have ever been to a dentist, I just went and got my teeth cleaned like a normal person, and that was it. No one ever mentioned anything about a «deep» cleaning… After the doctor left, the lady from the front desk came into my room and started going over all of the work I needed to get done and how much everything was going to cost. She hands me an invoice for over $ 2,000.00 worth of dental work that they claimed I needed!!! $ 700 for a deep cleaning and over $ 2,000.00 for wisdom tooth extractions. After she was done, she told me that I could go ahead and go to the front and check out. At this point, all I had was a consultation and no one cleaned my teeth! Which was the reason I was fucking there! To get x-​rays and a cleaning for $ 39… When I asked her why I wasn’t getting my teeth cleaned, she told me that I needed a deep cleaning so a regular cleaning would not even help me at all, and it served no point!
The next day I called another dentist to get a second opinion. I had this really nasty feeling that these people were full of shit and lying about all of this work my teeth needed. I went to the new office the next day and they told me that my gums were completely healthy and my teeth were great, with the exception of the wisdom teeth that I do need to remove! I didn’t even have one cavity! That other office lied to me about all of this dental work just to make money off of me! I told my family member who went to them before I did, and they told him that he too needed a deep cleaning and 2 root canals! He then went to this other dentist and they told him that his mouth was beautifully healthy as well and needed no work! In fact, a co-​worker of mine went there too and they told her that she need a deep cleaning as well… Ironic. Lots of deep cleanings? What are the odds?
7^th Street and Bell Dental Group is a complete scam! They try and give you a false diagnosis to get you to pay thousands of dollars more in dental work! Do yourself a favor and stay far away from these people. The website makes them seem legit, but they are the most corrupt medical office I have ever seen!

Everyone at this office is wonderful from the desk staff to the doctors, especially Erica and Dr. Bletheren. They all go out of their way to make you comfortable and happy. I have a beautiful smile thanks to the Seventh and Bell gang! Thank you!

My husband was having a toothache, and ended up going to the 7^th Street and Bell Dental. A lady dentist extracted his molar and sent him on his way. I have never seen a surgical procedure done so fast. We have a discount dental company that we signed up with, so the cost was around $ 150. He went in the back and was out of there in twenty minutes. That night he had pain, which continued for the next couple of days. He went back to the dentist to see if he had a dry socket or maybe a bone chip working it’s way out. The lady dentist told him it was fine. The pain continued. We ended up going to an oral surgeon I had used. For a mere $ 900 a flap way laid and bone fragments were removed, sutured back up, on antibiotics and pain pills. He had no problem after that.
So no, I would never go back to the 7^th and Bell Dental Group nor would I ever recommend it to anyone else. I had also questioned the dentist on the first visit and her attitude was, «I am the dentist, not you». That irritated me somewhat, as I have extensive dental background and do know a few things. Go somewhere where they will listen to your concerns and questions. This is not the place.

Its to bad you can’t go in with out getting a sales pitch. Just wanted my teeth cleaned, but for the low low price of… a few thousand dollars, I spent almost 2 hrs there, if you just want your teeth cleaned — this is not the place to go.

From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, I felt genuinely cared for. The dentist pulled me into his office first thing to ask if I had any questions or issues with my teeth. It was much more personable and caring than asking after I’m already in the chair! My hygienist was Ariel and she was awesome! She was very personable and friendly, made me feel at ease. She also was very caring, always asking about my comfort. I would recommend this office to anyone!

Really good place. Honest Business! They do everything for you to make the right decisions on what you should get or not. Definite I will keep going to this place. Thank you.

I had taken my son to another Dentist and about a year later come to find out they were capping kids teeth for money. I now have a daughter and needed to get both my son and daughter seen at the Dentist. Yesterday both my son and daughter were seen here and boy was I wowed! Everyone and I mean EVERYONE in the office was so welcoming, nice, friendly, and made my children feel very comfortable! My daughter does not do well with new people, and I could not believe she did not even cry once while they brushed her teeth! My children are my everything and I am so happy to say I found an amazing office for my children! Thank to every staff member there that made my children feel happy and have clean teeth!

Amazing experience. This office goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. I definitely would recommend to anyone.

I love my Dentist! The entire 7^th&Bell team is awesome. I’m a receptionist for a children’s dental office, so I know how important customer service is. Even with their clean waiting room, great equipment, and large picture windows, the staff really makes the difference. From scheduling my appointment to my cleaning to the dentist herself:). I did need treatment (which Dr Dewood was nice and clear at explaining), and was offered to get done that same day. Unfortunately I had to leave after my exam and cleaning, but I appreciate the option. I was given an estimate for my treatment plan and a complementary toothbrush welcome kit:) Can’t wait to go back and get my treatment done.

This dental office is by far is the best dental office I have ever been to and it’s all because of the staff! I have been in need of a cleaning and exam for quite some time, as I was driving to Sprouts I happened to stop in to see what they would charge me for teeth cleaning without insurance. That day they were able to get me the information I needed and set an appointment for later that week. Last Friday was my appointment, I was greeted by their friendly staff whom even made small talk with me during my short wait. The dental hygienist, the dentist and the dental assistant were all very pleasant as well. They were able to modify my exam to no x-​rays because I am pregnant, each staff member checked on me and made sure I was comfortable while in the exam chair. Each exam room has their own TV and remote for your viewing pleasure during any procedure, the entire office is clean and new. I was already satisfied with my experience and to top it off I received a personalized thank you card in the mail yesterday, thanking me for choosing their dental group! How cool is that?! I definitely felt appreciated as a customer and I highly recommend this dental office.

By far the best dental experience of my life! Everyone is amazingly helpful and friendly from the front office to the assistants to the dentist. You even get to watch movies or TV while you get work done! There is also a kids side with movies and video games. This place is great for adults and kids. I highly recommend this dental office.
