Lifetime Dental

I’ve been going here for a few years now and I have gotten to the point of dreading my 6 month appointment. It seems every time I go in there’s something new that is wrong. Now I realize this isn’t really their fault so read on to hear of my experience and impression of them.
As far as scheduling goes, they’re quite flexible and I really like how they’ll send you a text, an email and even call the day before! With my ADD this is a godsend. The office is also clean and tidy and they seem well organized. All good things.
The staff are on the whole friendly and often very professional and personable. Likewise with the hygenists.
Unfortunately the dentists leave a bit to be desired and as they are the ones you are going to see it carries a lot of weight in this review.
Here, the dentists are busy, often too busy to bother with you as a patient and a human being. They’ll come in, review what the hygenist learned about your teeth, poke around a bit, and are eager to rush out. They do not take the time to get to know you on any level and don’t really volunteer any information beyond what you need to know from your visit. Consider a recent exchange I had with one recently:
Dentist: «Looks like you need a root canal.»
Me: *clearly saddened by the news* «Really? That sucks.»
Dentist: *clearly bothered* «What are you sad about it’s just a root canal.»
No explanation as to why it happened was offered or any interest in letting me know of anything I could or should be doing better, just condensation that I dared interrupt their busy schedule. And this is a consistent problem. They never sit down to say something like «Hey, how are you doing on flossing? It looks like you aren’t getting those molars very well. Because of this or that.» There’s no guidance or advice based on their observations it’s just get you in and get you out. Like you are more of a number than a person. Now, all of a sudden they say I need to shell out $ 600 for a deep cleaning. After what that other reviewer (JM) said, I’m going to check with another dentist for a second opinion. And if I have a similar experience to them I may well modify my review as well. Stay tuned!
UPDATE: Well I went for a second opinion and needless to say I do NOT need a «deep cleaning». I met with another nearby dentist that has received glowing reviews and what a difference! The dentist there was patient, kind, and explained everything she saw in my teeth and why she did not feel I needed a deep cleaning. In fact, Lifetime originally sent them the wrong xray! Combine that with the fact that they also had to take a brand new xray last time I was in because they «lost» the old one and that makes twice that they messed up IT wise. It’s sad that the dentists here always seem to have one foot out of the door and get so annoyed when you query for more information and explanation about what they saw and why.
More than anything, knowing what I know now, this place very much appears to be a money mill. Do NOT go here if you value your pocketbook and accurate dental assessments. This office can not be trusted. I’d give it 0 stars if I could.

This place is pretty great. Most of the staff is courteous, the amenities are better than most as there is TV in each room, and the waiting room is nice. There are a couple of doctors in the this office, but I only trust one, Dr. Kam. He takes care of our whole family. I wouldn’t go here but for Dr. Kam, however since he is here I would recommend him for any dental procedure.

I take my 2 kids there. While they only go for cleanings and referrals, the staff is friendly. They have stickers for the kids. I’ve never had any billing issues or long wait times. We have been there since 2012.

They were very flexible and dr Kam was really nice.
Very clean and welcoming place.
The girl who did my scaling was very patient and did a really good job.

The staff is not welcoming and they are very demanding about money. They tried to scam me into getting a deep cleaning which I thought sounded extreme for my current status… it’s also expensive. I got a second opinion and my hunch was correct– they’re money hungry frauds. Take your business elsewhere unless you enjoy being treated like a nuisance and conned into unnecessary COSTLY procedures.

I’ve never been excited to go to the dentist, but when I was told by Dr. Kam for the first time in my life that I have really nice teeth, he made me an instant fan. I just met Dr. Jasmeen for the first time on my last visit and she was so kind and sweet. Everyone from the receptionist to the dental hygienists are top notch and friendly. Very professional office. Minimal wait time to get your teeth cleaned. Glad to have finally found a «homey» dental office.

My family and I have been going to this dental office since they opened. Staff and dentists are very nice and do a good job. Most of the staff are very easy on the eyes! Jennifer does a fantastic job of cleaning my teeth and VERY friendly! Thank you Jennifer!!!
