So it's very important to say all staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. This office is just very expensive regarding fillings/crowns, even after dental insurance. Expensive as in $879.00 per tooth, and 3 were recommended for me to replace very old fillings (from about 20 years ago, starting to break down). I am new to the area, from east coast, and used to fillings costing under $200 each after insurance. I could not afford their price, so still need to find somewhere else. I even started looking up Tijuana dentists who had prices listed under half of what this office was asking. As another reviewer said, they offered an in house made filling, so maybe that's why it's more expensive. Last time I had a crown I think it had to be mail ordered? The deep cleaning price after insurance seemed more reasonable at $97 per quadrant, especially after googling it, but I could only do half the mouth at one time for insurance to cover, so now I have to go back. This also seems standard practice per google. Still very inconvenient, though. I did not opt to have laser cleaning because that was about $140 per quadrant, I think. I am glad the hygienist caught that I had some larger pockets (5mm) so I can start maintaining with peridontal cleanings. I would like to use this office but the prices force me to seek somewhere I can afford, and I can't help but wonder if another local dentist would cost half to deep clean my mouth after insurance. I will go to finish other side here though. And no goodie bag either o.O

Gentle cleaning and smooth reception

This was my first time to the office. I felt the staff was professional, thorough and explained why I needed certain procedures. I needed a crown at a later date and was able to get it the same day. I felt like I received excellent care from Dr Hedo, Samantha RDH and the entire team.
