About BLVD Dentistry & Orthodontics Heights
Occasional upselling, including costly Invisalign recommended for already-straight teeth, contrasts with praise for doctors such as Dr. Andrew Moore who explain each step before treatment.
BLVD Dentistry & Orthodontics Heights is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, early orthodontic treatment, and TMJ treatment alongside routine dental care. Many reviews highlight doctors such as Dr. Andrew Moore, Dr. Alice Liu, and Dr. Naeem Ali for explaining procedures before starting and handling anxious patients with a light touch, with several extractions described as more comfortable than past experiences elsewhere. A number of reviews describe being steered toward additional services — deep cleanings, night guards, or Invisalign for mild crowding — that weren't originally requested, and a few mention billing surprises after being told a treatment was covered by insurance.

They are a well priced and trustworthy dental practice. They are always on time and I never feel pressured to do additional work.
I got my work done here. I had a complete extraction done Local which was loco to do. I didn't feel a thing after the numbing set in. The assistant was translating my Blah blah blah perfectly and I had a good recovery. Only thing I was disappointed in that I mistook immediate dentures as I'm going home with teeth in my mouth. I put them in pretty quickly though as I remember getting partials and they were put in right away. I got used to wearing them through the recovery so I'm already eating solid food and it's been about a month.
I came here for a regular dental cleaning. Like other reviewers mentioned, I was first offered a deep cleaning that would have required two appointments with my insurance and cost me around $200. I was also offered a sonic toothbrush (which I already own) and a mouthwash. I asked if I could just get the regular cleaning that was fully covered by my insurance, and they agreed without any problems. The staff and the dentist were nice, and my regular cleaning was done well. The main reason I'm giving 3 out of 5 stars is the strong mildew smell in the treatment room. It was so strong that it made me gag every once in a while, especially while I had my mouth open. Cleaning itself was good, but the smell and the sales pressure were kind of odd.
Ran my treatment plan through my insurance, brought it back and showed me the estimated totals, told me it all was covered and accepted and all that. So because they said that and the prices looked good I agreed, even went for extra items like sonicare toothrush and laser treatment since I was happy with the price and covered. Explicitly asked if it was covered and they ran it through something and said yes multiple times month or so later they came back with a 700 something bill after i already had paid 400 something telling me that it was actually not covered or rejected by insurance. This should be a crime, it should be illegal to tell someone its covered if its not. Now I pay over 1000 of money I dont have because I have a 4 month old baby at the time and cant even go back to the dentist, I wouldnt have spent other money i would have done it way differently or get a second opinion all kinds of things if they didnttell me they ran it and it was accepted and here is the total? Makes no sense. Completely screwed me. I literally cannot afford it. Idk what to do. Let it go to collections and get my credit screwed too? thanks for nothing. Edit: BTW i had my dental records re examined by a second opinion after the fact and was told A regular cleaning would have taken care of my issue and the deep cleaning was not needed. That is also why my insurance says they denied the claim because they did work that wasnt actually needed. AND TOLD ME IT WAS COVERED & THAT I NEEDED IT OR ELSE ALL THESE TERRIBLE THINGS WOLD HAPPEN TO MY TEETH AND MOUTH, THATS A SCAM, THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!! they are in network and i submitted all the estimate paperwork to my insurance and am filing a provider grievance for misrepresentation, as soon as I hear back on that I already have complaints ready to submit to the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners and the Texas Attorney General for deceptive trade practices. I hope they know I will fight this to the end and take it up with every single agency I can. Last time I contacted TGA for a corrupt law firm I won and got all my money back and I am ready for round 2
Dr. Ackah and his team were amazing! Very informative and patient. He answered all questions and insured we understand the procedure fully. I highly recommend. Great Job!
