I have been seeing dentist regularly my entire life. I hadnt had a cavity in 15+ years and after moving to Arizona a couple years ago had to find a dentist here, I went to Peoria Dental Center because it was very close to my house. I had no Cavities first few years going to Peoria Dental Center, and then all of a sudden after the most painful cleaning Ive ever had in my entire life apparently I have 7 cavities. I couldnt believe it. (I shouldnt have believed them.) They said I needed to get them taken care of right away even though I wasnt feeling any pain or sensitivity. Made an appointment to get them all done. I show up and the Dentist didnt have enough time to do all of them (Thank God) So he only did 4 of them. The charge was a little on the high side after the "insurance discount plan". Then the problems began. I was told nothing or given any kind of instructions on what to do or if I even had to do anything to take care of the fillings. After a few weeks of extreme pain and discomfort and not being able to eat at all on that side of my mouth I gave in and made an appointment to see what was going on. I was told it can sometimes take up to a month to completely heal but it just didnt seem right but I waited a couple more weeks and no change so I finally was able to get in and see the dentist. I had only pain on 1 of the teeth that was filled and the dentist said we can make some adjustments and it should be better. After the first adjustment instead of just 1 of my teeth hurting badly, now it was all of them. I came back for another adjustment, no change, and another, no change. I was there 4 different times and finally the last time he said they could try using "gold" instead of the regular filling material as that can sometimes be "softer" and relieve pressure/pain. at the tune of like $1200 EACH and preceded to tell me his wife has had the same pain for 20 years, which I cant believe. At this point Im really starting to get upset and as Im leaving they ask do I want to get the other side fillings done (3 more) and Im just too mad at this point so I just leave. Months went by (almost 5 or 6 months total at this point and finally I decide I have to get a second opinion on what to do about this ridiculous pain Ive been in and not been able to eat anything hard on one side of my mouth. I get a recommendation from my wife to go to her new dentist. I go and have all the initial x-rays and cleaning done. We find out that I actually dont have any cavities at all....... Those "3" other cavities that supposedly had been so bad that they should of been fixed months and months ago were actually not even there. At this point I am so beyond mad Ive been living with this pain that was caused because some dentist just wanted some extra money in his pocket and tried to fix cavities that were not even potentially there. (I highly doubt I had any to begin with). After my x-rays I was getting my teeth cleaned and all of a sudden the hygienist stopped and gasped saying "Oh my God". as Im sitting there with my mouth open thinking oh crap what happened. She then started looking around and saying I cant believe what your last dentist did to you. one of the filings that the previous dentist had put in my mouth was so small that it never fully stuck to the tooth and it was LOOSE and sitting sideways leaving a big gaping hole into my tooth. She was able to get the filing out with some floss and a couple minutes of her time. INSTANTLY I was pain free. After the cleaning the Dentist came over and was in shock at why the previous dentist did what he did and after looking at the x-rays determined that the other filings he had put in were so small. I made an appointment to with them to get the problem fixed and the entire week waiting for my appointment I could eat anything, chew anything, no more pain. After my appointment I was worried the pain would come back but its been almost a month and no pain and everything is good. I am so thankful to have found a legit dentist. Be very wary of Peoria Dental Center!!!

Please DO NOT GO HERE, horrible experience. I went because I cracked my tooth while eating and they insisted I needed a root cannel so I got one and they put a crown on to... 2 years later the same tooth started hurting so I had it checked out by my moms dentist long story short they didnt even do my root cannel right they forgot to fill in 2 of my nerves so I had a massive infection in my mouth... anyways now I need another root cannel so my mom paid for a unfinished root cannel and they charged her care credit over 30 thousand $$$ that she is still is paying off !!!! Now I have to spend 14 hundred dollars on another root canal because they didnt do their job right.

Went in to have my tooth pulled, a wisdom tooth. The staff was friendly the wait was short I got in on a Saturday and best of all without having to be put out I had my tooth extracted with no pain. The dentist took great care in ensuring I was completely numb and took his time. The worst part of having my wisdom tooth pulled was a bad reaction to the pain medicine the following day (not the Dr.s fault pain meds just make me nauseas) . I am moving to Chandler but will drive to this office for their excellent treatment in the future.

I live 20 min away but gave this dentist a chance because they promoted "gentle dentistry". I have visited 4 times now. Dental hygienist Maureen is my favorite. Ive been very impressed with the latest technology they implement and the care the staff takes every time I visit. It is such a relief to know I dont have to look for another dentist again. I hope this review helps make an easy decision for anyone needing dental care. I dont write reviews much but felt compelled to make sure Peoria Dental Center isnt a secret.

Lets start by saying that I am the biggest baby ever when it comes to dental work. That being said, I had the most amazing experience at Peoria Dental! I had a root canal done today, scary right? Not here! The worst part was the Novacain shot. There is no pain at all even hours later! And boy, are they thorough and fast. I highly recommend them to everyone!

The dental hygienist here are the best! The dentist is alright but you dont have a lot of contact with him unless youre teeth are getting messed up. Overall I like this place and have been going here for several years now.

These guys are the best. I had a tooth that needed a root canal and a new crown, and the Doctor was great - experienced, professional, and personable. The price was great. Their people are great. Id never go anywhere else.
