Miramonte Dental

The two things I appreciated most about seeing Dr. Kodey were (1) that she and her assistants explain what they’re doing proactively and answer questions patiently, and (2) they use technology where it can make a difference — e.g. taking pictures and showing you your teeth or a particular tooth you’re discussing there on the spot.

Always very professional as is all the staff…

I love love love Dr Kodey and her team! I found them by accident when we were urgently looking for someone to fix my mom’s broken tooth when she was visiting from out of the country. They did such a great job and were so nice to my mom, that shortly after that I switched my old dentist with them. Two years later, I’m still coming here at least every six months.

Great as always! I highly recommend Dr Kodey!

At my previous checkup Dr. Kodey noticed that one of my rear molars had an unusual tint and identified it as a likely issue where the tooth enamel was being resorbed and becoming thin. She said it would likely be ok for awhile but would eventually require a root canal to save the tooth.
Four months later I’m biting down on a crisply toasted bagel when I suddenly feel a jagged edge in my mouth. The compromised tooth had collapsed. Fortunately, the nerve was not impacted — no pain, not much blood. I called and got an appointment the same day to have the situation evaluated — Dr. Kodey confirmed that it was the compromised tooth that had failed, filed down the rough edges so I wouldn’t impale my tongue, and gave me a referral to an endodontist. Efficient, effective, and professional.
Sadly, I will not be able to stay with Dr. Koday past February 2016, as her office is ending its alliance with Kaiser’s dental plan Jan 31, 2016.

I have a lifelong fear of dentists, and as a result tend to go 5 years between visits. Miramonte treated me with compassion, care, and did not judge me for my lack of diligence. They never pressured me into any procedure, and they broke my visits into shorter periods (for a root canal) so I didn’t feel traumatized doing it all at once. I highly recommend Miramonte Dental. They will take good care of you.

I’ve been going to Dr. Kodey for over two years and I’ve always received efficient
professional service. Besides her obvious competence, she always fully explains
every problem and procedure. My wife, who has extremely sensitive teeth, also
goes to her and says she is the best dentist she’s ever had.

Far exceeded my expectations! On time, empathic and thorough but still efficient, very professional. I got a routine cleaning and she and her staff were very attentive to my comfort, as I had never received that type of cleaning before (they use a high powered instrument). It was totally fine /​non-​painful and I actually preferred it to the scraping/​picking of the typical cleaning. They could even fit me in the same day! I will absolutely be going back. I’m hesitant to say it but they almost made going to the dentist… enjoyable!

Dr. Kodey is an amazing dentist! She is gentle, careful, and thorough. Furthermore, I’ve seen her 4 – 5 times and she is always on time. I moved cities and continue to come back to her despite the long drive because she is a rare find! I had a filling re-​done, and even her injection of the local anesthetic was the best I’ve ever experienced. She does her own cleanings. Her assistant is equally thorough and gentle. I highly recommend her practice.

Dr. Kodey and her staff are professional and efficient. Their working environment is extremely clean, which makes me calm when entering the place. Before I started with Miramonte six months ago I had serious gum problems and several cavities. Within three visits, Dr. Kodey and her two great assistants dealt with all those in adept manner. I felt completely comfortable during the treatment, because they were very caring. And every visit only cost me less than 45 minutes. So far to me everything goes just perfect in this place.

Very fast, professional and empathetic dentist, assistant and receptionist. Dr. Kody replaced 3 metal fillings with white ones in an hour. For real.
Dr. Kody and her assistant Anna are a well-​oiled machine. I was expecting this would take a half-​day off work, but it really was only an hour like they had scheduled.
Also, they had a blanket and some Bose noise-​cancelling headphones I could use to stay comfortable while she did the numbing. If you can get an appointment with Dr. Kody, you will be in good hands.

My whole family goes here and we only have good things to say. My 3 yr old daughter enjoyed her cleaning, and my wife and I were both impressed by the detail in which everything was explained when we needed work done. Everyone is very kind and professional, and the place is very clean and updated.

Dr. Chandra Kodey is extremely intelligent and had a sweet «bedside manner.» She carefully explains what she is going and has a very gentle touch. I highly recommend her.

A remarkably positive experience on all accounts! Previously, I consulted two other dentist’s that I had carefully researched. Dr. Kodey was my third consultation. Unlike the others, it was no charge. Her clear, thorough explanation, giving concise, detailed reasons for the work that needed to be done made by far the most sense to me. I sensed her integrity and her dedication to do excellent work. Moreover, she worked with me to set up a payment plan that I am able to manage. She had to pull my two front teeth, do bone grafting and make preparations for a 5 tooth bridge. Working extraordinarily sensitive to my comfort level, I experienced NO pain.
Dr. Kodey’s professional manner impresses me. Her office is calm, quiet, and immaculately clean. Like her, her staff is warm, helpful and friendly. She is straightforward, succinct, and clear in giving relevant information, including all billing, … all of which I feel reflects also on the quality of her dental work. I’m relieved and happy that I found her.

3 months later:
My 5 front teeth bridge work is finished. I wish so that I had been able to take better care of my teeth to have prevented the need to have my 2 front teeth pulled and a 5 teeth bridge replacement, but I could not afford the necessary dental work.
Finally, feeling desperate and after careful research I found Dr. Kodey and YOU SHOULD SEE MY TEETH! Studying my bite, gum and lip configuration she made my teeth look natural and beautiful. I am 74 and now with my new bridge the BIG bonus that I never expected is that I look younger! The lines in my upper lip smoothed out due to the smooth, rounded contour of the bridge, moreover, I can smile. Big! My friends all comment on how beautiful and natural my teeth look.
FYI: Understandably, it was a complicated procedure and the wonder is I experienced NO PAIN. I see Dr. Kodey as an Artist that takes the greatest of care, working skillfully with Anna, her assistant, to do the work entirely painlessly, (with only a couple very minor, tiny twinges). I recommend her highly (especially for children) and I’m very grateful to her for working with me financially so could end up with this surprisingly beautiful smile, after all.

I honestly searched for a place to call home for about 3 years. I’ve done dental groups and multi-​dentist offices and they have all let me down. If your’re looking for quality dental work, LOOK NO FURTHER. From my 1^st contact with with Miramonte dental, I have always left the office feeling better than I did when I walked in. I have had major dental procedures completed by Dr. Kodey. As my mind gets to thinking, and thinking, and thinking about all the possibilities of what could go wrong, I always end up asking Dr. Kodey questions. She is excellent at explaining every step of the procedure. And as a result of their instruction and coaching, my dental health has actually improved! I whole heartedly approve!

Great experience as a new patient at Miramonte. Dr Kodey and staff were professional and very courteous. The practice has all the tech to make the session informative and convenient. Ex. digital xrays etc.

We highly recommend Miramonte Dental and Dr. Kodey. She’s been our dentist for about a year now and we’re extremely satisfied. We’ve had a range of appointments from standard cleanings/​exams to more substantial procedures, and we’ve been pleased with the results each time. Dr. Kodey and her small team are very friendly and always make our appointments about as pleasant as a trip to the dentist can be!
When I first went to Miramonte Dental, I had stupidly procrastinated getting an important procedure until I was only a week from a mandatory switch down to a less extensive dental plan. Even though I was a new patient, Dr. Kodey (without my asking her to) rearranged her schedule to make sure I got in on my old plan. Her flexibility saved me a significant amount of money out of pocket.

In terms of new facilities this place is very nice. It’s always great to see a beautiful office that is clean. I came for a regular cleaning. I have never had a cavity in my life and I came to Dr. Kodey for a check-​up since I was new to the area. At first I was impressed that Dr. Kodey came in and saw me right away and was going to do my cleaning. She immediately took a look at my teeth and gasped. ‘Who was your last dentist?!’ She took several pictures and showed me dark brown spots in the grooves of my molars. I wasn’t shocked since I’ve always had those and all of my dentists before have told me that different people have different teeth. It was a minor issue that did not indicate cavity formation in the long term.
Dr. Kodey explained to me in great detail in several scientific terms in which I had to have several fillings done. I was pretty calm about the situation even though she clearly seemed forceful in wanting me to agree with her. To sum up what she was really saying: I had very minor indications that I might get cavities several years down the line and she wanted me to get fillings right now in the present as a preventative measure for something that might not actually become worse. Of course she didn’t say it like that at all, she made it seem like all my teeth were falling out and I had to get it done immediately.
When it finally came to the cleaning part, she pulled out some UV cleaning device that I had never seen before. She failed to tell me she was going to charge me an extra $ 80 on top of my regular cleaning fees for using this tool. However, by this point I realized something about this place was fishy me so I asked her how much it would cost to use it. I pressed her to admit that I actually didn’t need it for my teeth. After this point, I had the worst cleaning in my entire life. All they did was floss my teeth (which I can do at home), do a mild polish, give me mouthwash. I have always had my dentists use a pick or other devices to remove any formation of plaque.
I obviously decided not to go back and found another dentist similar to the ones I’ve had previously. It’s been over a year since this experience and my teeth are doing just fine :)

I recommend Dr. Kodey at Miramonte Dental as your dentist! My husband found us our new dentist when we moved to town, and we have both been very happy! I have had a cleaning and fillings. Friendly service and all the ladies know my name. The receptionist always calls to confirm my appointment two days before. I have been running late and they were completely kind and gracious about it. I can always get an appointment when I need.
I had a nice conversation with the assistant while waiting for the numbing stuff to kick in. Dr. Kodey always checks to make sure I am okay and comfortable. I had an old filling with amalgam, which contains mercury. My previous dentist never told me about it. I was very happy that Dr. Kodey let me know and took care of it! I have also had bad experiences in the past with too much numbing shots which left me numb all day long, and that has not been an issue now.
Of course going to the dentist isn’t something anyone looks forward to, but since you have to take care of your teeth, you might as well do it somewhere nice!

I didn’t really care for my experience with Miramonte Dental. I went in for my 6 month check up. They took some xrays and then the Dr came in to talk to me and go over the xrays and pointed out a few cavities that I had.
The assistant come in and polished my teeth. I thought that was a little odd, I’ve never had my teeth polished first. After the polish the receptionist came in and went over my estimate for cleaning my teeth and filling the cavities. My insurance was fairly new and I didn’t’t know that the actual cleaning of my teeth wasn’t covered. So since I didn’t quite understand and the receptionist didn’t explain it very well to me, I didn’ t have my teeth cleaned. It may have been different if they had this explained to me before I started having my teeth worked on.
The dental assistant wasn’t very good with polishing the teeth, she seemed like she was new. And the biggest disappointment of all was that the Dr never came back in to say any thing to me. I thought that was a little rude. I felt like because didn’t get the cleaning done she didn’t want to deal with me any more?
I’ll be going elsewhere for my next check up.
