About New Heights Dental & Braces
Dr. Riley and Dr. Mo draw praise for gentle care, with Invisalign and clear aligner cases mentioned much more here than at typical dental practices.
New Heights Dental & Braces is a general dental practice in San Antonio that also offers Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, retainers, and TMJ treatment. Reviews mention Invisalign and clear aligners notably often, with several patients describing straighter results and one adult returning as a child's braces relapsed into overcrowding. Anxious and elderly patients are repeatedly described as put at ease with comfort touches like blankets, nitrous oxide, and neck pillows, and Dr. Riley in particular is noted for gentle injections and calm chairside manner. A smaller number of reviews describe billing surprises or feeling pressured into add-on services.

I have had extensive dental issues and work. I am extremely sensitive and despise cleanings. Not today! I had the best experience today with someone who understood and cared about my issues.
I had an amazing experience at New Heights Dental! From the moment I walked in, everyone was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. The entire team went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and cared for. One thing I really appreciated is that I don’t have dental insurance, but they were willing to work with me on self-pay pricing, which made quality dental care much more accessible. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their patients and want to help. A special shoutout to Cassie, who was incredibly sweet, friendly, and welcoming. She made the whole experience even better and helped put me at ease. The office has such a warm and inviting atmosphere, and I left feeling confident that I had found my new dentist here in San Antonio. I highly recommend New Heights Dental to anyone looking for a caring, professional dental team!
This place is wonderful. I have been a long time patient. Everyone here is very kind. Dr. Riley and my hygienist Sana are the best.
Fast, clean, professional, upfront. This is a great place to go for newest technology and up to date care. Sebastian was great at working on my teeth and helped my husband and I out so much, really went above and beyond. Angie was great at explaining costs, and front desk was amazing as well. 10/10 would recommend.
As always, the people at New Heights Dental are friendly, efficient, and caring. I never have to worry, or even think about the quality of the work. It has always been top notch and I've been going here for over ten years.
