Dental Renaissance was so professional and detailed. I did Invisalign and I love my results. Dr. Kerri walked me through the process step by step and I couldn't be more happy! I also love the amazing staff and appointment reminders! First class!

First time visiting and had a good experience. The doctor was nice and explained everything to me very well. Was very expensive however, but very good experience none the less.

I had a great appointment today 4/7. Dr. Blankenship and her staff treated me with kindness, respect and made me feel comfortable while getting my crown today. Thanks, Ms. Dee.

Dr. Blankenship is amazing - she is incredibly professional and provides honest and helpful feedback. Her office uses the most up to date technology which streamlines the entire dental experience and cuts down on the waiting time (i.e. crowns, mouth guards, etc.) I would highly recommend her practice to anyone, especially those who may not have had good dental experiences in the past. I won't go anywhere else.

Very nice people. They cleaned my teeth very well and gave me helpful information for the future of my teeth and exactly what I should do to continue caring for them. I would recommend them to anybody.

Had another great experience at Dental Renaissance. My husband and I have been patients there for 8 years! Dr. Blankenship and the entire staff are always friendly, accommodating and very professional. I never feel rushed when I am there and always receive the highest quality of care. They now offer dental insurance that makes it more affordable to get the care and treatment we need. We highly recommend this dental practice.

After going to the dentist Jan 4, I was told I needed a lot of work done. Including getting my wisdom teeth removed. I was really uneasy and so I looked for a second opinion. My friend referred me to Dental Renaissance and their whole team was amazing. I felt very at ease and turns out I don't need done what the previous dentist said. I'm moving our whole family over to this practice moving forward.

I had my regular appointment at Dental Renaissance and could not be happier. Everyone that I encountered at the office was friendly, professional and explained every procedure. I am so glad I found this practice, as it can be tricky finding healthcare providers that you like. I will recommend Dental Renaissance to anyone looking for a great dentist. Thank you!

Update: Warning if you are considering getting Invisalign from Dental Renaissance. In their big sales pitch, they don't tell you that they only fix certain things. My husband is now going to need to start with an orthodontist to fix the issues that have been caused to his bite, which won't be covered by Invisalign. He's been having headaches and is only biting on his back two teeth. None of this was not mentioned up front. Get a second opinion with an Orthodontist before you spend the money.

I have been going to Dental Renaissance for years for cleanings and extensive dental work. They are always professional, courteous and know everything about their patients. I really appreciate them!

Dr. Blakenship has provided wonderful guidance and planning for my dental care in the short time that I had started to visited Dental Renaissance. The staff are nothing short of cordial and professional, and I can see the immediate results of their services for the long term of my teeth. Even if I may end up finding a different dentist due to my move to Mesquite in the near future, I would certainly be sorely missing out on Dr. Blakenship's care.

I have been very pleased with this dentist office. The staff is professional and friendly. Dr. Blankenship is skilled and has good chair side manner. You won't be disappointed in making this your choice for dental work.

Had an amazing visit for a checkup and cleaning! The staff at Dental Renaissance did amazing! Super friendly and gentle. They made my comfort, as the patient, their main concern. None of the staff was pushy but they were very informative. Each of the lady's provided great feedback about my teeth and suggestions to help maintain a healthy mouth. I am happy to say I have found my long term dentist here in Plano! I look forward to many years to come.

Where to begin! I first linked with this practice in January after a while since my last visit to a dentist. My last experience wasn't the worst but the doctor left me with a negative vibe so I just didn't go back or look for a new dentist. So I came to Dr. Blankenship's office with a minor mouth injury and a big need to get regular dental work done.

She was very respectful and did a thorough exam. Upon my return for my extraction and cleaning today she walked me through what would happen and her assistant Katie (I beleive) was also awesome and attentive. The level of genuine care and concern was much appreciated especially when needles are involved. I was pretty comfortable the entire time, and because if their skill, I didn't need anything beyond numbing!

I will be back with my husband and children as we are fairly new to the city. DEFINITELY visit this practice, from Shaq (spelling?) handling the front office to Katie the dental assistant, and Dr. Blankenship herself, you will get a welcoming, professional, educational experience. I would never have thought I'd be excited to leave a review after having my teeth pulled!

This is the best Dental Practice in Plano! They are so friendly and professional and always take excellent care of us. We were with Dr. Pollard since he began and were sad when he retired. He was truly amazing. Dr. Blankenship was an excellent choice to follow in his steps. She is so good and you can feel confident that she knows what she's doing!

The staff is truly the best from the minute you walk in the door. Ellen is amazing and cares for my son with Autism who has NO problem having her clean his teeth. I highly recommend them!

We enjoyed the dental assistant who played with my son. So five stars for her. However, although we arrived early, we weren't seen for almost 30 minutes. This would have been fine if we weren't there with my 18 month old, who climbs, and gets into everything. It wasn't a very kid friendly office, in comparison to others we have experienced.

We are most upset that they charged us the full $108 even though my son was there for less than 15 minutes and nothing was done to him. We paid $108 to be told what he's completely healthy. Honestly all the dental assistant did was pry his mouth open, take a look at his teeth, and tell us he was fine. She let him play around for a bit and then that was it.

She even told the receptionist that it was a half appointment. When I had my teeth worked on at a different office, I paid $99 before we had insurance for a full panel of xrays and a cleaning. My son had none of these things, didn't even have his teeth brushed. We won't be going back because of the price. And we will be taking our son somewhere more accommodating to children.

The BEST! State of the art dental care from a dentist and staff that really pays attention to detail. They communicate clearly so you understand everything from financials to exact process in care. The quality and care is far superior to any other dentist I have been with. It's why they are the only dentist I will use and have sent several people there who all become loyal patients!

In today's day and age of everyone wanting perfect teeth and dental offices guilting you into care or high end treatments is NOT what you get here. You will get high quality care from a well educated and very personal staff. When you retain staff for as long as Dr. Pollard your doing something right. After several root canals, crowns, cleanings, and fillings over 10 years I can say - make your appt now! You will not be disappointed.

What Keeps Me Coming Back As a a patient for over 20 years, the high quality, peronable and professional staff never changes. They care. Cutting edge technology such as 360 degree X Ray machines and cameras that fit in your mouth Equipment to replicate or create teeth using computer imaging. WOW Understands insurance plans and how to use it to maximize your benefits.

They do all the confusing filing and you get perfect choppers. So very clean from enormous parking lot to treatment rooms. Verdant Granduer describes the reception area. The the Oval Office in decor but more flat-screen TVs Doctor's are at the top of the list in medical reviews and training. And so friendly.

Wow! I just had the best experience with Dr. Patel and the entire team at Dental Renaissance. I had a crown fall out last night, and as I recently was laid off, was looking for a place that could get me in quickly without breaking the bank. Not only was I seen immediately, but the staff and Dr. Patel made me feel so at ease (mentally and physically). Plus, Dr. Patel was extremely thorough and explained everything in a meaningful way.

I hate that I can't remember the Hygienist's name.maybe Rachel, but she was great and made even taking X-rays much more comfortable. The oral shot.nearly painless! Once I have insurance again, they will be my first call! Thanks to all!

My husband was referred here by a long standing client of Doctor Pollard. He's does great work that's not the issue. They cannot correctly staff their accounting and office mangers. My husband's bill/account was paid off IN FULL we were told, now magically we owe them alomst 8,000 to complete his dental work started 3 years ago! That's a HUGE mistake and NO ONE is doing anything about it.all the while my hubbie NEEDS the rest of his dental work done.

The person who referred us is just as frustrated with the whole situation which has been 2 years now! He even brought it up to Doctor Pollard, on top of the fact that they've tripled their prices. Nothing has been done to resolve the situation nor to finish my husband's teeth that have already had over 60,000 invested maybe more! Every time we call they brush us off. WOW, way to do business! They may have been around for years, but with recent events and price increases I'd be surprised if they last another decade.
