About Access Dental & Orthodontics

Coloring pages, patient assistants, and calm handling define visits with kids here, though scheduling and orthodontic timelines can be inconsistent.

Access Dental & Orthodontics is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, clear aligners, and clear braces. Many reviews mention how well staff handle young children, from coloring pages to assistants who calm nervous kids during procedures. Affordable pricing comes up often, though a handful of reviewers describe costly procedures recommended after brief exams. Scheduling and communication around ongoing treatment, including orthodontic care, have caused delays for some families.

  • Nervous or anxious patients often mention assistants who kept them calm and reassured during procedures.
  • Several reviewers point to affordable pricing and staff who help walk through insurance and financing details.

Things to know

  • A few reviews describe a dentist recommending costly procedures after a brief exam or rushing through an extraction.

Orthodontic care in reviews

The small number of reviews focused on orthodontic treatment describe delays tied to a very limited monthly schedule and poor record-keeping, and one review reported a four-year course of braces that ultimately required correction by a specialist. Other reviewers mention children who look forward to their ongoing orthodontic visits.

I wish I had read the reviews before wasting time with this place. The new dentist had to start over and this place maxed out the insurance without finishing the service. Do not go here.

Went in Friday June 5th for an appointment, Paid and Scheduled everything for Monday June 8th. (in 3 days) Went to the location on Ayers and waiting in my vehicle till 11:45 (appointment was at 12) went to try the doors and they were Locked. No desk light on but only the waiting area, Everything else was turned off. Called until a Dentist picked up the phone and he didn’t know that his own location was closed. He then LIED and said they have had electricity issues all week and that they had no electricity for a few days-week. I was there Friday June 5th. There were other patients as well. •They already lied. I have already paid for work to be done for Monday, No calls, No Texts, Not even a curtesy email saying they were closed or even to reach out for a reschedule. It has been 3 hours since I’ve called and they have NOT reached back out to reschedule or resolve anything. I have already paid for services for Monday June 8th. Couldn’t even offer to have work done at a different officer ( 3 different locations) 😒 Bank & Insurance are getting notified as well as emails to the boards.

I’ve always came here and the staff are amazing but the front desk needs not to be on FaceTime or anything it’s very unprofessional and also doesn’t get paper work turned in.
