Mountain View Dental Associates

I wanted to share my experience at Mountain View Dental Associates because I wish someone had warned me before my visit. While the dentist himself was friendly, he was largely absent from my actual care, the hygienist appeared to be making treatment decisions independently without consulting him. During my visit, I was upsold on scaling and root planing (SRP) that two subsequent dentists have since confirmed was largely unnecessary. While I did have a couple of teeth that could have benefited from the procedure, both agreed the teeth were borderline at best and that 2-3 of the teeth could have been isolated without numbing. Despite this, the hygienist performed SRP on my entire left quadrant (upper and lower). The consequences were significant. I experienced severe soreness for over 10 days, which triggered persistent headaches throughout the recovery period. This was not a minor inconvenience, it was physical injury resulting from a procedure I should not have received. When I raised my concerns with the practice, they took no accountability whatsoever. There was no acknowledgment of the unnecessary treatment and no apology for the pain caused. If you come here, be cautious about agreeing to any additional procedures recommended by the hygienist alone. Always ask to have the dentist review and confirm the necessity of any treatment before proceeding. Unfortunately, I learned that lesson the hard way. Always get a second opinion if you feel something is off.

I highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for straightforward, expert dental care. The team is friendly, professional, and refreshingly honest about treatment plans. I travel from Greeley to see them because they provide a level of transparency you don't find everywhere. They are always on schedule and take the time to answer questions thoroughly. If you’re looking for a second opinion or a long-term dentist you can actually trust, this is the place to go.
