About Topaz Dentistry & Braces
Braces treatment under Dr Akli frequently wraps up ahead of schedule, and the practice manages families with several kids in treatment at once.
Topaz Dentistry & Braces is a general dental practice that also offers traditional braces and early orthodontic treatment. Reviews mention a heavy volume of young patients and families managing multiple kids' appointments at once, and several describe braces finishing earlier than expected with a good final result. The orthodontic side is often described as more organized and consistent than the general dentistry side, and Dr Akli is noted for explaining each step and staying gentle with anxious kids. Scheduling reliability, however, comes up often as an issue, with waits and cancellations mentioned repeatedly.

Orthodontic care in reviews
Orthodontic reviews describe braces finishing earlier than expected with good results and monthly visits that are quick and consistent. Several reviewers contrast this favorably with the general dentistry side, though a few mention treatment plans changing unexpectedly after a location closure or transfer.

I can't say enough great things about Icela! She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and so wonderful with my kids. She took the time to teach them the proper way to brush and floss, something no other dental hygienist had ever done before. She made them feel comfortable, explained everything in a way they could understand. It's clear she genuinely cares about her patients and goes above and beyond. We had such a positive experience, and I highly recommend Icela to anyone looking for a caring and exceptional dental hygienist!
Terrible service from the Dr.Dumbuya very rude, didn’t speak..was loud and unprofessional. Took her 5 min to see my son and moved on to the next patient . I’m only giving 1 star ,because of Olivia she was amazing!.. Dr. Dumbuya needs to reevaluate her mannerism towards patients
Recently had an appt and waited over 1hr and 30 mins with no communication regarding the delay. when asked about the appointment was told the hygienist was missing or couldn’t be found! amh last couple of visits lated about 2/3 hours just for a regular cleaning
Overall customer service seems decent. Only issue is all appointments I have had there have ran behind a minimum of an 1-2 hours. Which I feel should be let known upfront when checking in if they are running behind or around the appointment time if they notice appointments are running behind.
Topaz is affordable, which is definitely a plus, but their customer service really needs improvement. Communication about scheduling is poor, and even after having an appointment, the wait times can be very long. It feels like there’s a lack of organization overall. New management should consider stepping in to bring more structure to the business and possibly invest in some renovations to enhance the overall experience. With a few key changes, this place could reach its full potential.
