20 Best Dental Hygiene Programs In Colorado Springs, CO (2022 Updated)

Solid school. Easy(ish) to navigate. Some of the buildings are far apart and depending on your classes you might have only 10 minutes to go all the way across campus. The staff is friendly and try to help anyone navigate the school, so don't worry! Each building is clearly labeled and maps are everywhere so it's hard to get lost. There's tons of socializing areas and seating for different gatherings. Some of the popular places would be the courtyard with the fountains or the large hill in the center of campus. The campus also has a variety of food options, so whether you want smoothies, coffee, pizza, pastries or a salad there are options all around!Zena Krimzon

They have no idea how to teach what you will need in the state of Kansas. They will use other professors lectures and do not want to answer questions or teach you. So yeah if you want to teach yourself from a book and have a bunch of assignments due constantly this is the place for you. You will find yourself googling topics and watching YouTube videos to learn it. Multiple (at least 3 that I know of) people in my class complained to the chair.C

I am taking a welding certificate so I can work in the welding workforce. I want to work for the olathe railroad welding force after college. Then maybe do some underwater welding I have not quite decided. If I do I have to take a scubadiving class to get certified in that. After that I have to take a underwater course to get certified to do underwater welding but it will take me a while to doKelle Boehmer

My Business Administration Management class was amazing, I learned so much and I am carrying it with everywhere I go. Some people do not like it and so do. My instructor was so brilliant and I am so proud and thankful for him. With his support and all of SJVC workers, instructors, and all around everyone, I was able to get threw this pandemic we are still having and graduate with a 4.0 and being on the deans list. I am thankful for you all. Anyone who wants to go to college for Business or just in general, go to SJVC. They got you covered and they support your every step and decision. They help you become ready for excellency and, help you find a job that you will love and if that job doesn't work out for you they will go over and above to help you succeed and find a position you want and love. Again I want to thank you SJVC for everything and I will be seeing you again soon.Alisha Gonzales

I'm in the midst of the program and just love it!! The teachers and staff are fantastic and it feels like they have become my extended family. They care and want you to succeed. They offer many resources to help if you hit a road block. It's a very professional environment and they continue to train you on maintaining professionalism. I have learned so much in the 3 months I've been attending thus far and look forward to all the things I'll continue to learn. I'm thankful for SJVC, with their help my goals are becoming a reality.Jamie Carroll

Attending SJVC has been a wonderful experience for me. The overwhelming support, love and time that everyone spends on their students is immeasurable. My instructor Dr. Warman is an angel. He is hands on with his students and checks on us outside of class. He is very dedicated, supportive and relates to us in many ways. I appreciate his hard work and commitment to his students. Means the world to me. I am thankful to be apart of such an amazing school and I'm looking forward to getting my certificate.Krystal Mcguffie

(For reference, I am a first-generation college student, have a learning disability, and a physical disability.) TMCC sets students up for success. I have had a very positive experience both as a student and working for the school. I will be finishing a dual-degree sooner than expected. Most of the professors are great, and everyone in the humanities department is amazing. Most of the staff is very professional and able to well-inform students of what classes to take and what services may benefit them. On top of this, the school also offers free tutoring and mental health services. As a first-generation college student, I feel TMCC has helped me at every step of the way to succeed. With only 8 classes left to take, I still have a cumulative GPA of 4.0 despite doing relatively poorly in high school. As long as you put in your best effort, teachers will do everything possible to help you succeed. If you do not put any effort in and expect a handout, then it will be extremely difficult to succeed. If you attend this school make sure to take advantage of any and all resources as well as putting in your own effort… you will not regret it. I recommend TMCC to anyone and everyone.Rove Plant Eater

This is a tremendous school with a caring and compassionate staff and faculty. This school has afforded me so many opportunities that I wouldn't have otherwise received without them. When I got to Reno, I was homeless. I arrived with two suitcases and less than $100 in the bank. I was staying with a friend and making very little money. I found myself in a situation where I worked hard labor job after hard labor job, trapped in a vicious cycle of injury and poverty and no clear view of how to exit my situation. In the month of December 2014, I walked into the offices at TMCC. In less than a year, I have found employment, I'm less than a year from finishing my degree and I am a Dean's list student. I had it in my head that I wanted to succeed and I was fortunate that this school wanted to help me to do exactly that. The teachers were compassionate and patient. The staff was courteous and helpful. I owe a great deal to this school because it has taught me more than academics. It taught me to be a better person.Brandon Canty

Don't listen to the bad reviews, everybody has a different experience and different perceptions. Ive taken at least 20+ classes over 12 years, I love tmcc. It's a good community college in every way. I attended here on and off from 1999-2012. I learned how to teach step aerobics from the greatest fitness instructor imo Verna Lewis. I took many general ed classes as well as a few paralegal courses and a ton of fitness classes as well. The campus is beautiful, many bathrooms with free sanitary napkins if needed, the vending machines are reasonably priced. The classes are very fair priced. It's a wonderful school and a WAY better option then a vocational school. eg: Realtor school online vocational school $600+, Tmcc Realtor program $50-100.Rachela Reno Rocks

If you are a Veteran and want to attend this school I recommend you don't. I personally have had multiple issues with communication with the school as well as obtaining an appointment with their one VA counselor. My appointment was made a month and a half out mainly because that specific date was the only day that would work for me. I was suppose to walk in at 4 pm to see the counselor. Mind you I called earlier that day to confirm my appointment, even received an email notification confirming my appointment. They told me they accidentally double booked, but to come in anyways and they will just squeeze me in. Came in at 350 PM checked in the front desk looked confused, I explained the situation and I didn't get seen until 5:45 PM I had a final for speech class at 6 PM. If you decide to take online classes be careful you could end up like me log in and check the course the first day of the semester in this case July 19th 2017 at 8:55 AM and see that there are no notifications or assignments post yet. Log in that Friday still having issues to find out you got dropped that Wednesday for not being active in the course. I logged in that Monday to do the Class work knowing that my other class kept me busy tues, wed, thurs. All just to find out that your email was jacked because of the conversion they did in spring, therefore getting locked from your account. I do not recommend this school or the school district it has only been a constant uphill battle for me and to many stressful occurrences. Attend a Cal State or Cal University.Cody

I have been trying to see a counselor, and so far I have come to the counseling department more than five times. Anytime I went there, they said that there are a lot of students so go come back tomorrow at 8:00 am. When I went there at 8:00 am the next day, they said oh we don't do walk ins, you can go today, but for tomorrow give us a call to confirm if there is any counselor available. I did call them the day before coming they said yes come around 8:00 am you will for sure see a counselor, I got there at 8:00 am, but unfortunately again they said that there are a lot of students and they only have one counselor. I don't know what game do they play with students, I missed going to work for 3 days, and it seems that I might not be able to take any classes this summer just because of not being able to see a counselor. I request the authorities of this nice college to pay attention to this problem, and find some possible ways of solution since the students need to have updated Educationan Plans.Tawfiq Sediqi

This college is a freaking mess and very unorganized!!!! Fist visit, they told me counseling was open until 4:30pm. Got there at 3:34pm and said they stop at 3pm. They told me to come back tomorrow and they will do counseling till 4pm. I got early from work the nex day, and when I get to the counseling office, they said they are not doing counseling today! They tell me to come back tomorrow. They couldn't take appointments because they were too busy that week. I come back the next day, my job let me get off early again, when I get to the counseling they tell me their system is down! They tell me to come back on Saturday for the event. They tell me counseling and student services will be open. I'm here at the counseling at 10am, they freaking tell me no counselors today, they are only taking picture for IDS !!!! This is the worse experience I had. Very unprofessional, not organized!!!! I'm very upset!!!!!Miriam Gal

Terrible school. They charge you an absurd amount for supplies after you've paid for classes and do not disclose it will be a charged item (Or that you will be kicked out of the class and your seat given to another person if you do not pay. You know, the class you already paid for and got in?). Not only that, this is a second job for most teachers, so good luck finding one that actually has enough energy or fs to give to teach a night or afternoon classes. Dont forget that they like to cut class lengths in half (Semester to a quarter), double the amount of time in class (from 2-4 hours), not inform anyone in the class of this AND move the location of where the class is supposed to be last minute to another campus. Oh! And let's stack on more homework than a someone taking a doctorate because the teachers figured that using an online program will make it so they only need to sit around, and they dont care enough to have the class there for the entire 4 hours. DO NOT GO HERE. GO LITERALLY TO ANY OTHER SCHOOL IN THE STATE KIDS. It's a bigger cash grab than a pyramid scheme. Only reason youd ever take a CMC class is for an AP Highschool class. I cannot stress that youd have more fun waisting your money on yourself over this absolute joke of a school.Carlton Phelps

This is my second semester at CMC. I really love the teachers and the price!! I would recommend anyone to attend here, especially if you are an in-district student. It's very affordable! I have found the teachers to be amazing. All of my teachers have been very engaging and interested in helping me succeed in my career goals. I would say there is only one downside that I have encountered and that is lack of flexibility in scheduling. I needed very specific classes, and they all seemed to be scheduled on top of each other. This led me to a stretched out schedule and lots of miles traveled (& wasted time) to other campuses to get in the classes I need. But I made it work and for the price and amazing professors, I am very happy that I was able to make it work. CMC has been great!!Amy Kovach

I graduated in Food Science at Colorado State in 2011. The education in the classroom and in life that I received while I attended university was life changing. I met some of the best people I have had in my life and I pursued my love for nutrition and food science while I was there. My degree opened up many doors for me in my career in the brewing industry and at the time the undergrad brewing course was one of the only ones in the country. I am so glad I attended CSU and I can say without a doubt my life and career would not be the same had I not gone here. I am still a season ticket holder and while I miss the old stadium, having a beautiful new stadium on campus is pretty nice! Go Rams!Jeremy Janus

My daughter and I visited the campus as it currently ranks number 3 for Veterinary Medicine. The staff was genuine, sincere and gracious. They setup one on one meetings to make the visit extremely personal. They appeared to have the students best interest at heart and even supplied a full day parking pass. The facilities appeared updated and state of the art. They were heads and shoulders above our visit at Texas aTm. The only prevention of a five star rating was partially our fault as we were unable to get a tour of the school of medicine.Andy Benavidez

I have studied in here as an international student for one year, but now I transfer to another college. The main reason is the reputation of the CSU college of business. The employment rate of international students after they graduation is so low, and I rarely find one get even an internship. Although there are lots of nice people live here, you get almost nothing to do in this dull town besides hiking or playing with your dogs.王信

I loved this college, compared to a university I saved a TON of money, and I have had nothing but amazing experiences with staff and faculty. They went above and beyond to help me and make sure that I was taking the correct classes for what I wanted to do and that all my credits would transfer. The professors are dedicated to helping the students that want to be helped, just like any school there are the students who don't care and don't put in the effort. It is your money so you are responsible for showing up and doing the work, but as long as you do your professors will be there to help. The campus is also pretty and well maintained.Sarah Reinick

I went to college here for welding and i have to say it was the best schooling experience i have ever had in my life the teachers actually care and are real. They really want to help you and make sure you achive. My welding instructor is a great man and i Larned alot from him. Pls as a place you are curious about having your child attend i recommend it highly.Hayden Jungemann (Iron Tank)

Good little community college. Attended myself and currently have a daughter there. Financial aid was easy to apply for and they explain everything fairly well. Class sizes were ok and instructors were laid back. Maybe a little too much! Lots of parking and a well laid out campus with constant police presence.Kerry Dougherty

I LOVE LOVE LOVE working at Pima in COS! After 30 years in general practice, I am so happy to share my experiences and make new memories with the students and staff. The students are so amazing that I get sad when then leave! Many of them keep in touch and visit when they are nearby or in town. People that I meet in the veterinary field (and the human medical field for that matter) are excited to tell me all about the incredibly talented Vet Techs and Vet Assistant students that have landed at their location after attending Pima. They are asking me to KEEP THEM COMING!! The leadership is supportive and approachable. They make a great effort to celebrate and show appreciation for the students and the instructors throughout the year. A shout out during a staff meeting means a lot to those of us that are teaching every day! We are proud to be celebrating Pima Medical Instutitute's 50Th anniversary and kudos to the really popular, soft and comfortable 50th anniversary t-shirts. . .my evening students wear them EVERY casual Thursday night! Finally, when you work with a team that loves coming to work, everyone is supportive and willing to help each other. We always push each other to do better and make the learning environment fun to build a community. Shout out to all my students. . .love you guys and come by to say hello and let me know how you are doing!!!! Keep sharing your awesome stories and experiences with me. . .they make my day!Dr Mary Carr

I've spent a year and a half at Pima in the veterinary assistant and technician programs and I love it! The instructors are amazing and they do everything they can to help you succeed. I've gotten to work with animals I never thought I would go near and I've gained so much confidence from my experiences. I'm going to be sad when it ends but I'm thankful for the accelerated curriculum that fits my schedule.Aleska Oleksuk

I really enjoy coming to Pima! I genuinely felt like my life didn’t have a plan before. Now that I am on the Pharmacy Technician program, I feel like I have a sense of purpose again. The staff here is amazing, and Jenn really helped me in the enrollment process to get started as soon as possible. Ms.J is a great teacher!! I definitely recommend coming here if you’re trying to change your life.Rosalia Estanislao

I really enjoyed the MA program and I learned so much. Something that I really appreciated about the school is that we had ALL the resources we need for certification studying–and all of the professors are extremely knowledgeable about their fields and gave plenty of tips and tricks for how to maximize your potential in the field. The biggest reason I'm sticking to four stars is that I had a pretty bad experience with one of my professors and I don't agree with some of the attendance procedures–having no absences excused unless the school cancels classes isn't reflective of an individual student's situation (I know this first-hand), but all-in-all, it's a nine month program, and the amount you learn and experience completely outweighs the poor aspects.Kendall Eley

I can only speak about my experiences here at Pima but I can honestly say it’s been life changing for me. I’ve completed my Registered Dental assistant program and I’m currently half way through my Radiology program and all I can say is that I’ve had nothing but good instructors in both programs. They really push you towards succeeding and the classes are well developed for you to learn. The prices are a little over the top but seeing how it’s a institute it’s expected. Overall I’ve really appreciated everything Pima has done for me, I really recommend it to anybody who wants to kickstart their medical career!Isaac Razo

I am currently on the MA program, and it has been a pretty good experience. I am able to have time to study and also work and balance everything else with it. The team of this school is very professional and really care about their students, they are always willing to help you if you need help from them. I really like that they even have tutoring to help you if you struggling in a class. The career services team is an amazing team who works with you to find the right fit for you to do your externship, so you can be successful on this new path that you have chosen.Massiel Martinez

I found that the staff and faculty were helpful and skilled. The professors are able to talk to students and are great instructors.The campus has a variety of higher education and skill pathways. There are classes for auto mechanics, park rangers, and much more. I got a fair amount of my credits from this school and more importantly it prepared me for advanced education.John T.L Hulstine

Very poor experience receiving record information for my hometown dentist following a root canal. I was told wonderful things about the college and was very disappointed in the staff working behind the desk and with paperwork. I’ve called 3 times to kindly ask them fax over X-Rays within the last month. I have signed release forms stating they can release that information to my current dentist so that I can get a cap put on said tooth and have had no response. I got an infection following my root canal and called to ask what steps to take in order to take care of the infected root canal as I was nearly 25 weeks pregnant when it was preformed. No call was ever returned when I left my message. I ended up in the emergency room here in my hometown the following night due to excruciating pain in my jaw. Simply said, the work they do on teeth is great. The infection was no big deal, and took care of itself after being issued a round of antibiotics from the ER staff. I do recommend their students and think it’s a wonderful program. However staff and people taking care of records and returning calls is either very understaffed or lazy. I am very displeased with the lack of communication I have received.Mackenzie Tyler

Everyone should be informed that the college of dentistry will not prescribe pain pills after having twelve teeth pulled at once. And they will not tell you this until you ask for them. The information given is not consistent from one student to the next. My husband had twelve teeth pulled and spent thousands of dollars and he was told to take ibuprofen and Tylenol. So if you prefer barbaric dentistry and plenty of pain then go ahead and make that appt otherwise I recommend you spend the extra money and go to actual professionals. And Vicki, the client care rep, doesn’t really care that you are paying the school thousands of dollars she will still speak to you like a child. I believe we are suppose to be patients(clients). You should appreciate the priveledge of people allowing you to use them as guinea pigs. And not treat people like they are low income peasants. It might not be as expensive as a professional but we are still spending thousands of dollars. This just confirms what I’ve always thought of dentists. I’ll never go to another one. I hope this isn’t the way your school is teaching students to treat their patients.Georgia Lee

I got referred from Blustem for a root canal. Previous to that, I got referred from Admire and was told by Admire that UNL would call me back for an appointment. Three weeks later, they still didn't call me back, so I called them. They never called back. Today I called as Bluestem made me a new referral and was told that I was dismissed from the dental college for not keeping and making an appointment! whay6?! They told me I had an appointment in September that I missed. That is false. I was nwver contacted aboyt an appointment!1 Ugh. At this point I will probably go somewhere else and just get my @3!$ tooth removed.Shannon Hayes

I was told that I had 6 cavities and was threatened that I had bacteria in my mouth. 3 months after I went to University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, I went to a local dentist and was told that I don’t have any cavities at this point. [Inconvenient scheduling system] Since students can schedule an appointment only once a month and they don’t allow patients to come in if they have contacted any person who has had cold symptoms in the last two weeks during the pandemic I couldn’t make it to appointments. I had to wait for a month to be rescheduled, then I couldn't make it. Also, they didn’t help make an appointment when I had an urgent need, though they knew that I had a serious problem. Since I thought that I would have to go through a major surgery, I chose to go to the facility to hear their professors’ opinions, not just to save money. I decided not to undergo a major surgery in the facility. Students are nice at first but every time I went there I was criticized for taking advantage of low cost and treated like I am such a poor and needy person as I speak English as a second language. I was even introduced to a job that I should have by the student. Yes, I am not rich but still a responsible person. So, I didn’t like all harassment and discrimination that I got from them. Now I realized that I didn’t feel like I could save money by going to the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. Patients are required to pay $140 or something upfront for their full examination but it’s a lot cheaper in local dentists even if you don’t have dental insurance. Patients pay for it for them to make their Dental impressions or something for their study. However, I learned how to brush my teeth, which was the benefit of going there.Tomato Green

Do NOT go here! I have spent the last year and a half going here only to end up worse if than when I arrived. The University will state that their staff will oversee everything the students do, but that is false. I was very clear from the start on what I wanted done, and the University said they could do it. I've gone to so many appointments that I've lost track of how many. I've had multiple surgeries as well. It was only after a year and two surgeries that it was discovered that the procedure codes my initial student had inputted were wrong and the University no longer performed the procedure we had been working towards the whole time. After some back and forth, the University agreed to perform the procedure and transferred me to their Resident program. A couple appointments later and I'm sitting in a chair at my pre-op appointment when the Univerdity drops in my lap, a new estimate with a $30,000 price tag, which was much greater than the $8,000 they had originally given me. I promptly refused! Since then, the Patient Advocate, a University employee, has contacted me a couple times to basically say that the University thinks I should be happy they were even willing to do the procedure. Their latest claim is that they're not very comfortable doing the procedure I and my student had been working towards, but they'll give me a small discount on the procedure that was incorrectly inputted. They sure were comfortable doing the procedure when they thought I'd pay them $30,000. I am now forced to engage the Department of Regulatory Agencies (D.O.R.A.) and hire a lawyer to sue the University for their negligence. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND RISK YOUR HEALTH HERE!Kristopher Cusimano

Third Floor Futures Clinic: Staff seemed friendly, the provider was nice but not as warm/approachable. She seemed significantly serious in a way that was colder. She also saw two cavities which I personal thought was a stretch. I believe she also suggested gingivitis. It seemed like she was trying to come up with any possible problem. The dental faculty that checked her work and examined me was also closed off/cold in my opinion. I did not feel welcomed and it made me rather hesitant about receiving care at CU School of Dental Medicine clinics. HOWEVER, my experience since the screening appointment has been nothing but positive. Fourth Floor Clinic: I have been seen about 5 times (as of 5/1/22) in the FFC and my experience there has been great. I felt welcomed and comfortable and safe from the start. My student provider, Malek, is very friendly, nice, considerate, approachable, and trustworthy. I feel safe and at ease when she is around. She is good at what she does and I really like her. She explains things and that is much appreciated. Malek is very sweet and I trust her very much with my care. She apologizes a lot but she doesn't need to. My secondary provider, Sarah, is just as wonderful as Malek. She is very friendly, approachable, trustworthy, and I feel safe around her too. She wasn’t as involved with one of my appointments and I missed having her. The two of them make a great team and I hope I can continue care with them.Laj P

Last year in eighth grade I got my braces at Prairie Hawk Orthodontics with Dr. Struhs. Of course, no kid really wants braces, but it has been a good experience with Dr. Struhs. I had a large gap in my two front teeth, and my other teeth were very crowded…not anymore. My teeth look great, and I am getting my braces off soon. I would definitely recommend Dr. Struhs at Prairie Hawk Orthodontics.Mike McFadden

Dr. Struhs at Prairie Hawk Orthodontics is a fantastic orthodontist! His fees are very reasonable, and he is honest about exactly what work needs to be done. Both my children have big, beautiful smiles thanks to Dr. Struhs and his excellent care. I have recommended Prairie Hawk Orthodontics to many friends and they too have been very happy with the results.Cindy McFadden

Had a great experience at Prairie Hawk! The staff was so nice to work with and Dr. Struhs was always very kind and helpful! They made my teeth look even more amazing then I could have imagined! I would recommend anybody that wants their teeth to look perfect to go to them, I get complements daily on how great my teeth look!Kacie Mcintosh

Dr Patodia took the time to completely explain not only the issue I went in for but also another issue that has been persistent yet intermittent. I believe options are good and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. He answered all of my questions, drew an amazing sketch of how his work on my gums/tooth would be carried out and what I could expect for recovery. He explained the relative urgency and options I have. I could not have asked for more. The entire staff is welcoming, friendly and put me at ease, which can be a challenge when I’m discussing anesthesia and surgery.Al Brody

I am far more thankful than I can express into words for the aesthetic teeth and crown lengthening surgery performed by Dr. Weaver! I smile consistently more than I ever have! I no longer have to cover my mouth to hide my gummy smile. Dr. Weaver did an absolute incredible job that is noticeable from everyone around me. This office has reasonable financial options and Dr. Weaver was very transparent during my consultation for my surgery. I will certainly be back to Mountain Top for future dental cosmetic procedures!!Natalia Bruno

My case was super complicated. I went to several different doctors in COS before choosing to go with Dr. Weaver. My results ended up best case scenario and he did a great job. Staff is awesome and they even did a second surgery at no charge because the results of the first one where not where Dr. weaver wanted it. This has been a year long process and I’m really glad I chose this office!Erica Bertini

I absolutely love this office. Taryn (sorry if I spelled it wrong) is my hygienist, and I get to see her for every cleaning. Dr. Patterson is down to earth and amazing. The whole staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable. I am always greeted by name with a smile. They even give you blankets and pillows, which truly make your procedure as comfortable as possible. I used to be afraid to go to the dentist and would have severe anxiety, and I don't feel any of that here. I look forward to my dental visits and getting to see all the amazing staff in the office!Jennifer Solis

A trip to the dentist is always stressful; I rather eat mud. However, my first visit at Mountain Springs put my mind at ease. Dr. Patterson and his team are top notch. They truly care about the patient and their individual needs. My hygienist is fantastic and she went above and beyond to help me feel less anxious. She's also very knowledgeable and incredibly thorough. Dare I say, I might learn to "like" visiting our new dentist. I highly recommend this team of wonderful professionals.Beth Brown

Glad I found Mountain Springs Advanced Dental! The staff was efficient, patient and explained everything to me as we went through my new patient visit. Summer was great. Dr Patterson was thorough and explained everything he was seeing as he conducted the exam. I liked that he is direct, no nonsense and there was no upsell. He pointed out a tooth that needed a crown now, as I was expecting. I have definitely found my Colorado Springs dentist!! Highly recommend this practice.Bill Griste

This past Fall was my first experience with the clinic and I can't say enough good things about my care. From the instructors and students, it was a great experience. The attention to detail and thoroughness is something that I haven't experienced at a dentist appointment in a long time. Just keep in mind that it can be very time consuming, and there may be a lot of appointments due to requirements the students must meet and what you need done. IMO, it's worth it for the level of care you'll get. Not only are the students great, but everything is gone over to make sure it's 100% and up to standards. Definitely going to keep coming back for my routine care!Kit

I’ve been going to Pierce College Dental Clinic every 6 months since 2017. I’ve had such thorough care and treatment I ended up changing my daughter’s dental care to Pierce as well. I love that they take Provider One dental insurance because it is extremely difficult to get into other providers with this type of insurance. I would 10/10 recommend making that call to schedule an appointment. In regard to COVID, it shows that they make safety a top priority! You won’t be disappointed 😁 Kei Rainbolt

The most detailed dental exam of my life! Most people don't know Pierce College has a dental clinic where students practice their skills under the supervision of licensed dental professionals so if you're looking for high quality affordable dental care, this is the place! The appointments are longer than those in a regular office but the different assessments are very detailed and you learn so much about your oral health and how to improve it. I would highly recommend this place!!!Yesenia DLM

I really appreciate the kindness and professionalism of all the staff here. I'm pretty anxious and uncomfortable when it comes to even the most basic dental procedures. Everyone I have seen here has done everything in their power to make the experience as tolerable as possible. I'm especially grateful for Bren and Dr. Glaser – their patience with me has made it possible for me to get through some much needed dental work. The office staff has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable about insurance and payment options. They sat down with me and printed out estimates based on different insurance providers, and helped me work out the best course of action for me based on the waiting periods, costs, etc. I really appreciated their expertise and how much time they took to help me figure it all out.Nicky

I am 30 years old and this was the best encounter I’ve be ever had with a dental facility by far. Each and every staff member I interacted with was sharp, kind and delivered the upmost patient care. Everything was communicated clearly. I was never left feeling uncertain about what to expect, what was happening, and what would take place during the healing process. I felt heard and they went above and beyond to meet my needs. All my questions were answered completely. And in addition to all of that, I left with the feeling of warmth and being cared for. Truly a wonderful experience. Who would have thought? A great day, right at the dentist office.Katherine Gaussoin

Powers Dental is an excellent reasonably priced office with professional friendly staff. I highly recommend Dr. Paul Smith. He has been our family dentist for several years now. I trust his recommendations and have had excellent care. This office has a team of dental hygienists that are highly trained to give excellent regular care and cleaning with great consideration for your comfort. I am very confident that you will receive excellent care from Dr. Paul Smith and his staff.BDC Guru

My family has had dental care here for many years. We have had nothing but great service and experiences. We were a little worried when the clinic experienced a changeover in ownership and primary provider/Dentist, but we were pleasantly surprised. Dr. Skaggs is a excellent provider. He is competent, personable, and when working on teeth, a bit of a perfectionist. What a generally great person. He fit right in with the staff and they all make you feel like family from the moment you check in. We will be here as long as he is the dentist.Jai Jackson

I have been a patient of Rangewood Dental for 30 years. Grew up seeing Dr. H and now take my kids there just the same. We were sad to see Dr. H go(Congrats on retirement though!). We had our first appointments with Dr. Skaggs this week and right away we were very happy with him and the other new faces in the office. Unfortunately one of our kiddos has a difficult dental situation and the team here has gone above and beyond to help us out and make sure we are satisfied with the results. We wouldn't go anywhere else.Randi B

First time at Rangewood Dental and it was one of the best dental experiences I've ever had. Very kind staff and they were incredibly detailed during my exam and cleaning. Annette was awesome and super warm and friendly, answering any and all questions that I had. Dr. Skaggs was great…kind and professional, offering time to answer any questions and was not dismissive in any way. I am looking forward to my next appointment and would highly recommend this practice!Keek P

I have a fear of the dentist so I have been putting it off for years. This year I decided to go to the dentist and start taking care of my teeth properly. My first appointment was one week ago. They took X-rays and examined my mouth. The dentist gave me a plan for 3 appointments. First take care of all of the fillings that I need then 2 appointments for deep cleaning top and bottom. Everyone that I had contact with was a positive experience. The front desk was very friendly over the phone and in person. The lady that did the X-rays was really nice and made me feel a lot better. The lady that examined and will be deep cleaning my teeth was also nice and made me feel better. Dr Stafford listened to my concerns and fears and made me feel better about everything. Today I had my appointment for fillings so I was extremely nervous. Dr Stafford and Gabe worked on my mouth. I needed eight fillings and I can honestly say that I felt zero pain at all. I had to have quite a few injections to numb my mouth and they were not bad. Either no pain or a tiny bit of a pinch feeling. I felt no pain while having the fillings done and they made sure that I was ok through the entire process. Also the lady at the end when you check out is very nice. She printed up detailed invoices on what my insurance should cover and what would be out of pocket to me. I had an amazing experience at this office and now I don’t feel scared to go back. I’m excited to get my teeth taken care of now! A huge stress and fear of mine is now gone. If you are scared like I was then I highly recommend visiting this office and taking care of your dental health! Thank you Dr Stafford and your team!!!!! Wanted to add to my original review. Today I went back for my first appointment of two for my deep cleaning. It went so well! The rep that worked on my teeth was awesome! She made sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire process. She did an amazing job and I felt no discomfort or pain at all. Again, everyone here that I’ve an experience with has been so nice, professional and patient. I’m so thankful that I found this dentist office and finally feel that I can stay on top of my dental health without being afraid.Chelsea Lane

I haven't been to the dentist in over 10 years due to no insurance and some type of phobia over going to one, my bottom wisdom tooth broke and was in excruciating pain just couldn't deal with it anymore so finally bought dental insurance discount plan and made an appointment at Comfort Dental in falcon My dentist was dr. Joel Stafford and is the best dentist I've ever had in my life, I've been to lots of dentists before and none come close to the way he works, he explains what needs to be done asks for your opinion and tells you every step he makes while doing the procedure in a calm manner. I had a root canal done on my lower back broken tooth with a ceramic porcelain crown and also my wisdom tooth pulled and honestly felt no pain at all, the only pain was was from the novocaine shot to make it numb, if you want a good experience at the dentist you should choose him, he's a great guy and an awesome dentist I highly recommend!Mark Clark (Pro Power Rooter Service)

Gabe is an excellent dental assistant (that's the correct term yes?); Very thorough and knowledgeable. Dr. Stafford is the best dentist I've ever experienced. Exceptionally steady with lidocaine needles which means no pain! I've had 3 root canals performed, 2 by other dentists and 1 by Dr. Stafford… Dr Stafford's procedure was quick, PAINLESS, and comfortable… I cannot say that about either of my previous 2 procedures. Dr. Stafford and Gabe also have really great "bedside" etiquette. They're patient and explain what's going on and nothing feels rushed.L W

I haven't been to a dentist in many, many years for more than a few reasons. One and foremost in my memory is the last visit was not a pleasant one. The staff at a certain office (not giving up names) were so rude to me that I walked out during a cleaning. It was terrible. I was in a lot of pain, and nobody seemed to care. Fast forward to now… I need a some work done, and my friend HIGHLY recommended Dr Perrot and his entire staff here at Pinnacle. So, I said to myself, why not? I met with them today… And from the very first "Hello" to the. "See you for you next visit"… I was BEYOND impressed and VERY comfortable. I am looking forward to my next visit, and getting a game plan on the work needing to be done. Thank you all for my 1st and NOT last visit!!!Randi Mimms

I had the pleasure to meet Brittany, Front Desk, and Katrina, Dr. Jennings Assistant, at my appointment. Both of these women are very kind and professional. They treat you with such respect and generosity that they are like friends. They go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. Dr. Jennings is an incredible, caring Dentist. This was my first time going there and it definitely won’t be my last. He takes his time with you and even apologizes to you if you have any discomfort at all. He is so concerned for his patients that he called me personally to find out how I was doing the next morning after my procedure. I would definitely recommend Dr. Jennings to be your Dentist. I know he definitely will continue to be mine.Sandy Davis

Dr. Jennings always goes above and beyond when it comes to my dental care. I have had jaw problems since I was a teenager and he was able to identify the problem and get me the treatment I needed to feel better. If you need a mouth guard he is the man to see. He is a perfectionist and made me a mouth guard to create the correct bite to make my jaw feel better. My headaches had decreased so much that I don’t need to take Advil for the pain I was experiencing everyday. The entire office is so professional and efficient and is set in a beautiful atmosphere. I highly recommend Dr. Jennings to anyone looking for an awesome dentist.Corre Ryan
