Dental Health at 16th St Mall

Things to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day 2014…
I found our new family dentist! After having an absolutely horrible experience with a previous dentist in Denver, I came here. I was treated professionally with a friendly attitude. The dentist actually sat down and talked with me and made me feel comfortable with the procedure that needed to be done. Back story: the previous dentist had let a gum infection get so bad, by not doing a complete x-​ray that showed that last little root, that it killed my root and I eventually cracked my virgin tooth. So by the time I got to Dr. Yahnian, I had to have an emergency extraction. It went so smoothly! I can’t even believe that I had no pain the next day!
I am telling all my friends about this place!

RUN AWAY! They’re only trying to make a quick buck (or thousand) off of patients. The doctor is not professional at all. He wears Hawaiian shirts, no doctor coat or anything. He completely smack talked my oral surgeon, even though my oral surgeon has over 20 years of experience and is highly recommended by many Denver dentists.
Here’s what happened to me. I go in for a tooth cleaning and instead they take x-​rays and want to talk about how to improve my smile. I tell them I’m not interested in improving it because I like my smile. I did however, tell them about a filling I had that was bothering me because the filling was starting to separate from the actual tooth. The dentist tells me that I need to get an $ 800 crown that «May or may not work.»
A few weeks later, the filling separated from my tooth and I had to get the tooth pulled, which is where my oral surgeon comes in. He told me that the crown might have worked had I gotten it done last year, but that with the state my tooth was in, it wouldn’t have – it was too far gone when the other dentist said I needed a crown.
I let my socket heal for a month and go back to get my teeth cleaned. The dentist at dental health started smack talking my oral surgeon when I told him that I had the tooth pulled saying that it was highly irregular to do so. Now, he wants me to spend $ 3500-​$ 4500 to get an implant. But he wants me to let his surgeon do it. I don’t think so.
One of my co-​workers went to this dentist for a cleaning and they told her she had several tiny cavities that needed drilled out. She’s never had a cavity, went to another dentist and sure enough, no cavities.
The only saving grace of this dentist office is the hygienist. She is really nice and very professional. However, that isn’t enough.
Stay as far away from here as possible. I won’t be going back.

Went in for a new patient cleaning/​x-​rays. Let me tell you, it was THE most painful dental experience. I also get regular cleanings, and the hygienist was digging at my teeth like there were years of plaque on them. She ended up having to put anesthetic on my gums because she was being so aggressive. My mouth was sore and irritated for two days afterward.
Then, they used a «new technology» that uses lasers to identify decay. So, I go from having ZERO cavities in my life to SIX! I went to another dentist for a second opinion, and he told me I only had one watch area, not six sites that needed fillings.
All of this, along with not-​so-​stellar customer service, has convinced me to NEVER go back. I will tell everyone I know to NEVER go there!

I called in for an apointment to get my 6 month teeth cleaning, as a new patient they insisted on me getting X-​Rays. Based on my X-​Rays I have no cavities, but they told me that they could see some through a phyiscal inspection. It had been 8 years since my last cavity, but they happen and I was willing to return for a filling. However, they skipped the cleaning that I came for and wanted me to come back for two more visits. Obviously, I never returned.

Fast, friendly, and professional. Even as a new patient, I got in and out, paperwork and all, and hardly waited at all.
I really dislike places where you go in on time, then sit on your ass in the lobby area for half an hour! I think doctors offices are notoriously worse on this, but dentists can be just as bad.
Fortunately, I was in, made comfortable, laid on a chair, subjected to painful objects, then on my way… Fun!
