Absolute Smile Dental

I was referred by my sister-​in-​law as I was looking for a dentist for a consultation, as well as looking for an ortho since I was thinking about getting braces. I have not been to the dentist in a long time, I am not a fan.
It is a bit far for my convenience, but I am glad I came here. Rest assured, I felt like home when I first walked in. I was greeted nicely by the front desk and filled out all the necessary paperwork. The office was very busy and the lobby was full with patients, but the wait was not long.
Dr. Nguyen was friendly and nice. She made me feel comfortable and at ease, as I have not had my teeth cleaned in a long time. She answered all my questions thoroughly and she took time with me answering my concern questions. I have also met the Ortho and had my consultation for braces.
I came back for the 2^nd time to get my teeth extracted. I was scared, but Dr. Nguyen made me feel safe and comfortable during the process. I am coming back again every month to this office, as I have chosen to do my braces with the Orthodontist that they have on site.
I previously had dental insurance coverage, but not anymore. Absolute Dental had worked with me to set up a payment plan that works with my budget.
I am glad that I have chosen this place to take care of my dental work. I will be continuing to come here to get my dental work done.

My daughter is three years old and Absolute Smile was her first dentist visit. She was really scared the first time (bright lights, masks, etc.), she even cried, but the staff and dentists were very patient and understanding of her. They even made her feel comfortable by the end of her first visit.
6 months after that appointment (December 31^st, 2014) she had another cleaning. She was so excited to go and she trusted them. The employees even allowed her to touch/​hold some of the equipment to make her more comfortable. They are amazing. :)

I have a question, I am a student and I really can’t afford to go to a dental clinic at this point of time. Since last night I have been having this sharp pain on my wisdom tooth. I think it needs to be extracted. To be honest I don’t have dental insurance and I am in a stage where I need to see a Dentist. Is there any way you can help me out by telling me how much it will cost for the extraction. I would really appreciate it. I am in so much pain

This place is a bit far for my convenience but a good friend of mine referred me to them and when it comes to my pearly whites, I don’t mind going the distance!
Right when I walked in I felt comfortable. The waiting area was nice and spacious and the receptionist greeted me promptly with a smile. I filled out some paperwork and 5mins later a young lady took me back for my xrays. I’ve never been in an office where there were TVs in the rooms so that was a great surprise. I hate thinking about getting my teeth cleaned so that was a nice distraction.
Dr. Nguyen came in right after to examine my xrays and she was awesome. I love it when someone makes you feel comfortable right away and she did just that. She answered any questions I had before we got started very thoroughly and I really appreciated that. I’ve had some doctors that would just hurry or convince me that I needed work done that I didn’t really need. She was honest and very knowledgeable.
We proceeded with the cleaning and in no time I was done! I will definitely be coming back. The drive is so worth the peace of mind I have with this clinic. Thanks Dr. Nguyen!

Since my initial procedures I have had to go back roughly 9 different times to get things fixed correctly and I am still having issues stemming all the way back to my initial visit in May.
I am not having to fly to Nashville, TN to go to my families dental office to get things done correctly. Needless to say I am not a happy camper and this boarders on negligence on the part of the dental office.
Since visiting and posting my initial reviews they have asked me several times to change my reviews and that bad reviews look bad on their business. Well too bad… maybe good work should be the standard here instead of worrying about your reviews that are true!
If I could turn back time I would have never walked in to their office and maybe would have had all this done right the first time.

I brought a friend here that needed emergency dental treatment for a tooth that was giving her unbearable pain and the staff did a great job to get her in. Dr. Kulkarni saw her and was polite, gentle and always checked on her to make sure she was ok and comfortable. He quickly removed the tooth and answered any questions she had and made sure she had the clinic’s contact information if she had any issues. Had a good experience at this dental office!

Importing my review from another review site back when I visited Absolute Smile over a year ago. My traumatic experience is still fresh in my memory. I only hope we did not contract any diseases from Absolute smile.
1. We were around 500 dollars poorer and we left with an absolute FROWN
2. They book a lot of patients at the same time. The wait time was not long but the service and care we received were very disappointing
3. When I was ushered in to get my x-​ray done, I had to ask the dental assistant for the protective cover! Apparently it slipped her mind. From that point onwards I was ready to walk out of the dental office and I was feeling very nervous about what other serious mishaps might happen.
4.The dentist slipped into my side of the wall when she was half done with the other patient next to me. She worked on my teeth, numbed my gums and proceeded to the next patient onto the other side of the wall. Then the dental assistant took over. Doubt she really did anything to my teeth. The way she worked on my teeth felt as though it was her first time doing dental work. 5 minutes later, the dentist popped back to my side of the wall and started working on my teeth again. At the point I was trying to be very vigilant. I was afraid that she would somehow forget to change her disposable gloves when she was popping back and forth.
I could go on and on but overall I was absolutely disappointed with Absolute smile. They ripped me off my money and provided shoddy service; I hate to say this but I am sure even 3^rd world countries provide better dental care and service for a fraction of their price.

I gave them two stars because they saw me for free, on some new patient special. I went there because I had a tooth infection and I also wanted to discuss option for replacing several missing teeth. I arrived on time, I was not greeted immediately because the receptionist was busy LOUDLY talking to her car finance company about her payments, the girl next to her more interested in her colleague’s phone conversation that me. Eventually, the call ended, and she gave me a laminated patient form with a visa vis marker… even signatures and patient notices? Looking on the counter, she was busy with a STACK of these and a wet paper towel cleaning them off. HOW is this legal? Is is REALLY that expensive to print every patient their own copy? WHERE are they storing this data, and if they wipe off your signature how do they prove you ever signed it??! Ok, whatever, I filled it out the best I could considering a marker has a very thick tip and the forms were small, meant for a standard ball point pen… I waited about 10 minutes to go back. I got several xrays and then waited another 20 minutes for the doctor. I can’t remember his name because I saw him so quickly. He poked in my mouth, shouted information to his assistant very quickly — including wrong information — he told her I had a bridge where I had none, they were all individual crowns… wonder what else he missed in his haste?! I started to ask questions about possible treatment, but he just told me I needed my bad tooth pulled (it had a root canal and a crown done last year), that there was no saving it. I protested because it is literally the last spot in the back of my mouth I can chew due to other missing teeth. He told me he could give me a partial denture, that his assistant will fill me in on the details, and then took off for the next patient. No other questions allowed, no discussing other treatments I was wondering about, no time to correct him on his mistakes. I got prescriptions for my infection and told to come back when I was ready for the treatment. I already have made an appointment with another dentist.
Edit in reply to below: Please re-​look at the x-​rays. He claimed I had TWO bridges, on the top 6 front teeth of my mouth, one on each side. That is not true. I have bridge on one side, and three individual crowns on the other side. I know what teeth are missing in my mouth and the differences between crowns, bridges and and pontics. That seems to be a little more than you do. I visited student dentists after this appointment, and they correctly identified the teeth and dental work in my mouth as well. I feel more confident going to them, thanks.

This place SAVED my life (and prevented me from social suicide). I’m from New Orleans and went to Dallas a week ago to visit my relatives. So one day, I was happily eating at a Thai place that I absolutely LOVE in Dallas and my front filling chipped off. This was not a small chip but a VERY NOTICEABLE chip (I got a filling done to my two front teeth 6 years ago and it went hollow over the years so I had a dark mark on my two front teeth). I was mortified because I looked so ugly! I seriously cried when it happened because the restaurant was packed and i was causing attention. Anyway, so I immediately contacted a friend to inquire about good dental offices. She recommended absolute smile dental In Denton, Texas and I immediately made an appointment. The receptionist squeezed me in and I arrived there 3 hours later.
The staff there were so nice! They didn’t laugh at my chipped teeth when I clearly expressed my frustration and instead consoled me and said everything would be okay. So l was taken care of by Dr. Cecile? I think that was her name and she told me that everything would be okay and started working on my teeth. My situation was difficult because my previous filling was extremely close to my nerve so i would maybe have to get a root canal. Luckily she worked her magic and I didn’t have to get a root canal done. I LOVED what she did. She completely fixed my front teeth and whitened it. you couldn’t even tell that it was chipped. I went front crying and thinking I’d be humiliated back home and around Dallas to whiter teeth and a more confident smile! I definitely don’t even have to worry about being self conscious of my black mark anymore and my teeth being yellow. She did a marvelous job and I’d definitely recommend people to go to her. if I could post a before and after picture of my teeth then I would. My teeth were CRAY. Seriously. This place was a definite life saver.

I had my teeth cleaned here a few months ago and let me just say that the staff and doctors here are wonderful. They were very helpful and knowledgable when it came to my teeth. I highly recommond everyone in Denton to go here. Dr. Nguyen hands are so gentle when she was cleaning my teeth. I brought my mom with me and she also had her teeth cleaned. She said that no one ever cleaned her teeth like Dr. Nguyen and that she would come back next time because Dr. Nguyen did not hurt her.
I didn’t have any issues with the appointment time or had to wait at all. I left there with a fresh mouth and pearly white teeth. I am very satify with their office and will make sure to make my next appointment for my teeth cleaning and anything else needed for my teeth!

Don t waste your TIME people. That s exactly what happened to me. I went in May for a cleaning and to have my permanent crown re-​cemented. My appointment (I was not a walk-​in) was at 3:30. I waited in the lobby for over 2 and a half hours. When they finally called my name, they took my x-​rays then i waited an additional hour before i was seen by the dentist. When she finally took a look she told me she would recement the crown. I had to remind her I was also getting a cleaning and her response was oh you want to do that today. I told her I made an appointment (again not a walk-​in) and that YES i was expecting a cleaning today. My x-​ray revealed i had a filling that need to be filled again. I thought ok, sure let s do it… but because it was after closing time when the dentist got to me and I m taking a wild guess that she was ready to go home, she told me i d have to come in another day to do the filling. Very annoying! After she finished with me, I went to the front desk to check out, the dentist followed me with her purse and belongings and told me to have a nice day as she rushed out the door to leave. I got home very angry & did what any customer would do, i wrote a review online. The following day one of the owners called me. I m guessing he read my review. Anyways I explained to him what happened and he apologized. I told him that I had to get a filling but i didn t want to go back to his office, because my time is very valuable (i m a business owner and a mother of 2 toddlers). He assured me I wouldn t have to wait again. You see the reason i waited over 3 and a half hours is because 1. they overbooked and 2. even though i HAD an APPOINTMENT the office saw the walk-​ins that arrived oh but a few minutes before me. I told the owner, Terry, that it was very disappointing to wait so long and to have to remind the dentist to clean my teeth (one of the reasons i made the appointment in the first place). Again he assured me & actually thanked me for bringing the issue to light to him and said he d give me a discount for the filling. I said ok. The following day he called me again and actually offered to do the filling for free. Again i said ok. Then the owner Terry asked me if i could remove my review i had written about his office. I agreed even though my gut told me if was a mistake. A HUGE HUGE mistake of me to remove my review and go back to this office. Once again, i made an appointment. Actually when i called and gave them my name the receptionist told me i would be waiting if i came in on a tuesday because they were going to be very busy that day. She suggested I come in monday (the day i was calling), but she suggested i come in at 3:30, because when i was calling it was around noon she said they were busy and that i d be waiting. She told me at 3:30 they had an appointment for one person and i d be the 2^nd person there. I appreciated her telling me this so based on her suggestion I made the appointment for 3:30pm. This time i waited about 30 mins in the waiting room, i was called back and waited on the chair for over an hour. I couldn t take it anymore and my husband and I started complaining to the manager on duty. She immeditely called the owner on the phone and the owner wanted to talk to me on the phone. I did not want to talk to her because i was numb, i couldn t talk comfortably and i was upset to talk. The manager stood there on the phone with the owner & she said the owner said i wouldn t have to pay for the filling because of the wait time. I was appalled. The other owner, Terry, the husband already said the filling would be covered. I told the manager that and I guess after that the owner had nothing to say. After the dentist finally came in, he did my filling. He told me the tooth would be sensitive for several months. Unfortunetly for me, my tooth is killing me. It feels like i now need a root canal for that tooth. I lost a lot of time just waiting around at that office. DON T WASTE YOUR TIME PEOPLE!

Great doctor! Nice clinic
