I’ve been going here for about 8 years now. They’re pricey, but they do great work. They work with my schedule, benefits, and helped me when I was In grad school (I was uninsured at the time). I’ve had my wisdom teeth removed here. I am having an implant placed currently, do to the mistakes make by western dental. I would definitely recommend. .

I had an amazing experience at this dental practice today! The entire team was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional from start to finish. The office itself is spotless and exceptionally clean, which made me feel comfortable right away. On top of the great care, they offer very reasonable options for their services without any high-pressure sales. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch, affordable dental care!

Kristy was thorough and fabulous with her precision dental cleaning...no rushing. Alex was terrific with the use of technology to examine my teeth with the high tech mobile imaging wand and xrays. Then, Dr. Andy came in to give me the "happy" /s news of a new spot of decay. He was very kind and reassuring of the possibilities to rectify the problem. The office staff was/is friendly, kind and helpful as always. Canyon Crest Dental has done some extensive, creative work for me over many years...always topflight. AND...ALWAYS in pursuit of excellence with patient comfort and satisfaction of paramount importance. A special acknowledgement must go to Jennifer and Paola...they are wonderful and make the dreaded dental experience a little less "dreaded"... I'll be baaaack! 😁 Okay...looks like I have to add an addendum to my last post.. Anyway, I saw Dr. Merrihew today who gave me great counsel on my new dental procedure which includes a new implant crown. Eva is the dental nurse practitioner who is so gentle and compassionate and also a total professional every step on my journey to finalizing the procedure . Eva takes her time to assure perfection. The office staff, as always, is friendly and efficient and quick to respond and help when needed... They all get 5 stars from this happy, lucky patient! 😁🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
