Hi team and people who will read this comment. The best people working there. I'm dealing a lot with anxiety. Often a lot things can trigger it even more. Specially medication which is normal to use during procedures. Doctor V is so professional and explains every single little step for someone like me. As well all the team is no doubt amazing. Thank you for everything you do. Amber.

I have been going to Desert Dental for a couple of years now. I met a new hygienist today, Jessica, who was amazing and so sweet! She educated me on oral health, but also took interest in my personal life. I can't say much for the new DDS as I have not met him yet, but if he is anything like Jessica I know I am in good hands!

The staff is rude and this place seems to be more of a scam then a dental office. I called several months back and was advised my bill is taken care of. I will not be billed again as my insurance is processing. They have now advised if my insurance doesn't pay within a month it'll be my responsibility. I only went to the office and discussed how much my operation would be then walked out the door.

They are still billing. Everyone beside the dentists whom I didn't even speak with was absolutely miserable and unhelpful. I would not recommend unless you want to be spoken down to and harassed for bills. They do not have empathy or care for you. This is not a place to go and get well.

Horrible work, they don't stand or support any work they have done or the so called dentists. Lance L. You call me. No one knows who you are there.

I've been going to Desert Dental for years. Pleasantly surprised with a fantastic new dentist. My hygienist, Ruth is back and takes great care of me. Thorough but gentle and always pleasant. The office was smooth and efficient from check-in to check-out. Love the text appointment reminders.

I never leave reviews. But I'm so frustrated that I feel like I have to leave one. I went in a month or so ago for a cleaning and x rays. I was told at the time that there was no co-pay. Then I went back a week or so later to get a couple crowns. I was not informed beforehand that insurance might not cover the crowns--I was only told that when I showed up for my appointment, even though the man helping me told me that he had gotten notice that insurance might not cover the crowns prior to my visit (my appointment was on a Monday and they received notice re the insurance on the Friday before).

So I left without getting the crowns because I couldn't afford to pay the crowns potentially out of pocket. Then I get a bill in the mail and an email demanding that I pay $50 for the x rays-- after I had been told there was no co-pay. Now I've called 2x regarding this issue and no one has called me back. I'm incredibly frustrated and disappointed. I would not recommend going to desert dental unless you can afford to pay for their mistakes.

Dr. Benjamin has been my dentist for nine years now. His skill, knowledge and very up to date care is top notch. I have total trust in him so I know he isn't going to do work that doesn't promote the health of my teeth and mouth. The office staff are wonderful too. They really make me feel at home and run his practice very professionally. Lillie is his right hand person and if I ever have questions or concerns she answers them right away.

I like so many were afraid of the dentist. I elect sedation dentistry and it is a blessing. I go in go to sleep and wake me up when it is time to get my ride home. I have also called for friends who need immediate attention and they always get them in that day. This is a great dentist and great staff. Joni F

Dr. Benjamin has been my dentist for 14 years. He is awesome and strives to make his patients happy. He has the perfect personality for a dentist too.calm and doesn't get rattled. The staff is very nice too. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Looking forward to another 14 years with Dr. B as our family dentist!

Dr Benjamin and his staff are the most professional and truly caring I've ever experienced. They have gone far above and beyond exceeding my expectations. Having had issues for years and honestly just seeking a second opinion. Dr Benjamin took the time to discuss other options (both positive and negative) than just pulling my existing teeth and getting all on four full implant dentures.

With his guidance I made the decision to get a few implants with bridges and to put crowns on my existing teeth. The outcome which is close to being finished has me wishing I had done this years ago. I highly recommend the the team at Desert Dental. You will not be disappointed

Office is modern and clean, the staff are friendly and professional, and the dentist actually cares about his work. He took time to assess my dental needs and explained what needs to be done and why. I had a great experience here and now instead of worrying about my teeth, I'm looking forward to my next visit to get them taken care of. Additionally, I mentioned that I was a veteran and the dentist and staff all thanked me for my service and offered me a discount, which I'm truly grateful for!

I would have given 5 stars last year. Now with how it is being ran, different dental hygienists every month, no records at time of cleaning would still be good enough for 3 stars. What takes the cake is having me wait for 1 1/2 hours just to tell me they can't see me, reschedule and day before my appointment cancel! So I recommend you find another dental office as I am and save you this mediocre place

Firstly, I hadn't been to a dentist in 15 years, and I have major anxiety about dental work due to bad experiences. The staff here were amazing, I was highly embarrassed to show any one my teeth after all my years of neglect. I was treated with dignity, and sedated laser LANAP surgery, and the removal of a couple wisdom teeth was suggested as a first step to getting things back in shape.

I went in, and was sedated, and a few hours later (that seemed like about 15 minutes with the sedation) I was out the door. I had read a lot on line about this procedure, and post op pain management was mentioned quite a bit. It is with great pleasure I can report to you that I had absolutely zero, nada, zilch pain after returning home. I am now so happy to have started this road to someday being able to show my teeth when smiling, after a lifetime of hiding my teeth.

This has also finally given me enough hope for having a presentable smile someday that it has inspired me to quit smoking for the first time in 30+ years. I truly look forward to working with the staff here to continue the process.

I'm deathly afraid of going to the dentist. Have been my whole life. A broken tooth with a deep cavity forced my hand to find a dentist. I had anxiety and a racing heartbeat just searching for one. I spoke with Zammy on the phone, she was very helpful and got me an emergency appointment. When I showed up, I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest.

I was greeted at the front desk by Zammy who was very nice. All of the patient forms were electronic on an iPad and were very quick and efficient. Once in back they got a couple X-rays and I met Dr. B. The verdict was a root canal and a crown. Not what I wanted to hear. However, being that they do sedation dentistry, everything went fine. I was in the chair a couple hours and it really felt like maybe 20 or 30 mins.

My pain level was very low when I left and I was just a little sore. The next day, a Saturday none the less, I received a text message from Dr. B checking to see how I was, if I had any issues or any questions. I'm very thankful I found this place. I know now with some help from sedation and Dr B I'll be able to get back on track with my dental health!

Let me start out saying I was traumatized as a kid about going to the dentist and what I had done in the Army did not help at all. If i wast in Pain i still would not of gone. but this office did so much for me. the they moved my appointment up to see me faster, gave me antibiotics to help bring down the swelling and had me in the next day to not only take care of the wisdom tooth that was casing me problems but did a full deep cleaning top and bottom all at one time.

I remember they getting ready to put in the IV for full sedation and putting some nitrites on my nose. then waking up at home with my wife everything done and resting well.my wife told me it took about an hour and a half for all of it. I feel much less pain now and it keeps easing up. my teeth and gums have never felt better. everyone in the office was nice and worked with me and the close was WAY less then I had thought it was going to be. If i ever have to go to the dentist again it will be here even if it is on the other side of town from me. well worth the drive

My husband and I avoid dentists as we've had bad experiences with them. It's nerve wracking to go to one but today we had no choice as our teeth are in terrible shape. Lili is so friendly and knowledgeable, I really like her energy. The other two ladies were very nice and good at what they do as well. Dr. Ellsworth was our doctor, he made me feel relaxed and comfortable. He was also genuinely concerned for my husband's health. Will stick with them for a while

I've gone here for almost a year now. I believe Dr. Ellsworth was always efficient on the work he did on me. I felt that Ruth, one of the hygienist was very personable and thorough, she kept my relaxed while administering a deep cleaning. I had another hygienist for my regular follow up cleaning who wasn't as comforting as Ruth, but did her job. Unfortunately, the 3 star rating is mostly due to the receptionist Ana.

I was out processing with Ana after my regular cleaning, when she decided to take a personal call right in front of me. She wasn't paying attention to me and forgot to provide me my prescription, which she had to later send to me through the mail. The latest incident was when Ana called me to try to reschedule a cleaning that I had previously cancelled in September.

I told her that I got a cleaning done through another provider out of pure convenience. The other provider was closer to to me in proximity. She didn't even bother trying to reschedule my next cleaning as I was open to going back to Desert Dental to keep up with my cleaning schedule. Instead she just demanded that I make a payment on a bill that was due.

I was never informed that I had a payment due for 5 months until the phone call. Honestly, I didn't even bother asking why I had to make a payment since I haven't seen them since May for my last cleaning. I just went in to pay it off because I didn't want to deal with that receptionist again. It's unfortunate that you'll lose a customer because of your receptionist's terrible customer service.

Wow the office help really need to go back to school or something. I never even got to see the Dr. I was stopped at the front desk asking about my insurance, asking where my husband works for in the government. I explained he is retired military. Then they wanted to know who our medical insurance is so they can bill them. I told them we have medicare and Tricare.

They don't pay dental. So if you have Metlife do not bother going to these guys. They don't take that insurance. When I called and made my appt. I gave them all my info with Metlife. That person said all was great. Now I am looking for another dentist that both my husband and I can go to. We both need a lot of work done.

As most of us know a visit to the dentist for anything besides a routine cleaning can be well scary. Which is the exact reason I had to schedule an emergency visit for this for 7/23/19 ( I made the appointment on Sunday 7/21/19) and I'm so glad I decided to come here. Yesterday Monday 7/20 the receptionist and I shared several conversations over the phone to collect as much information as possible before showing up @ 8am to start the process of resolving the abscess and which ended up into extracting 2 teeth.

From the moment I walked in it felt right, the hygienist who took my X-rays was a doll and I wish I remembered her name. When I met with the Dr. Benjamin dentist it was relaxing as much as it could be. He was very informative and direct about what was happening in my mouth and made everything easy to understand which gave me the ability to choose the best possible outcome for today.

Even though I didn't do everything they had laid out as an option ( I received IV sedation ) as a way to tackle more than 2 issues, they didn't try to change my mind and seemed to understand where I was coming from. When it came time for the procedure the painful part was having the IV inserted, after Dr. Benjamin has administered the sedative the next thing I knew I was opening my eyes to discover we were finished.

Then what they did next for me I'm still in awe over due to level of care I haven't experienced since I left home almost 2 years ago. Being at the dental office has given me anxiety on another level so I'm so thrilled to say that even though I received and will continue to receive IV Sedation it's never felt more comfortable and at ease. I'm due back in 10 days to remove stitches/ check things over. I'll be calling them tomorrow because frankly I don't remember much of what they told me as I was leaving that's what you get going alone. I'm so thankful to have found this place after reviewing countless others across multiple platforms.

The deciding factor was they listed their prices for sedation that gave me enough insight knowing I've paid more in different parts of the country ( all major cities )and always felt like I was being taken advantage of. It feels so good to have found a dental office that does phenomenal work and overall great family atmosphere. So if you're looking for either a solid emergency dentist or simply a new one y'all would be crazy to rule out this place.

I would like to start by saying the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend Desert Dental, I've been going for years. My appointment is always on time. I never feel like they're rushing me or they're in a hurry to go next patient. I very comfortable my teeth are in good hands. This is the longest I ever been with a dental office. The hygienist is a sweetheart. The doctors are very professional and caring. If you're looking for professional and very nice people look no farther. You'll be happy you did.

Watch out for fees. I had to cancel my appointment an hour before because I had something come up and they are charging me a $75 cancelation fee. I wouldn't have had a problem with $35 but $75 is excessive - especially when my husband and I have easily paid them upwards of $5,000 (out of pocket) for various dental work over the last few years. They just lost all my future business over $40. This is also the first time I've ever paid a cancellation fee in my life so I'm not some sort of repeat offender.

I have been afraid of dentists my whole life and have had some very negative experiences in the past but I am so happy that I can leave all my worries behind now that I found Desert Dental. My primary doctor is Dr. Benjamin and I told everybody I know about how professional and experienced he is. I never feel any discomfort or overwhelming angst when I'm in the chair.

He explains the procedure and the desired outcome very clearly. Lilly runs a tight ship when it comes to booking/ billing insurance providers and making sure the office runs smoothly so get on her good side. Overall I wish more dentist were more like the folks over at Desert Dental.

I love this place! This dental practice has totally changed my life! Dr. Schwartz has given me a new outlook on dentistry. My mouth mouth was a complete mess and they have now given me back a very healthy and clean mouth. I'm currently in the process of getting multiple tooth implants and very excited about my final outcome. In addition to a great dentist, the office staff is exceptional. Danielle the Hygienist is exceptional, gentle and caring. Rosa, Dental Assistant always makes me feel in safe hands and treats me well.

Where most offices fall down are right at the front desk, not so here. Their newest addition, Brianna Moore, is bright, funny and very professional. She has handled me with great care. She has a very extensive knowledge of this practice. She's an awesome representative of Desert Dental. And Lili, who is always friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you to everyone, who has given a new respect for a dental practice.

Everyone is always so friendly. They are very efficient and you don't have to wait very long, they're pretty on schedule with your appointment times. The staff makes me feel welcome and takes good care of what my teeth need. I would definitely recommend them. Danielle is great for cleanings. and Dr. Kern has done a lot of work for my teeth from filling, root canals, to extractions.

I want to thank Lili and Dr. Benjamin for restoring my smile They were the nicest, most patient people that I've ever met. I did my research before deciding to invest in a very costly procedure. They workd with me with the cost. I highly recommend Desert Dental if ur considering any of their procedures. 1/10/17

Very professional and clean clinic. I needed a root canal done and I experienced the quickest and most efficient root canal I've ever had in my life, and I've had many done. They have state of the art technology and in house lab where my finished crown was made. Highly recommended!

Best dental center in Henderson, NV. I love the location and there wide open set up. They have a great team, with helpful assistants, and the whole dental staff is exceptional. They have the most up to date equipment making exams much more comfortable and easy. They are very nice. I have been coming for about 10 years now and this last visit I brought my 3 y/o for her first visit.

They were so patient and gave her such a wonderful experience. My daughter even let them do a flouride polish and she had no issue during the process. I was very pleased. This place deals with issues up front and does not force return visits, unless its necessary. I had been to other places where they will check your teeth but will make you return for a cleaning, making you pay twice, its horrible. Here at Desert Dental you get exactly what you expect to be assisted with. I highly recommend this location. You will not be disappointed.

Hands down the most professional and seamless dental experiences I have ever had. First off, there were able to fit me in on short notice at a perfect time for me. The office itself is very clean, and updated. It has all the tech that a dental office in 2014 needs to have. The real kicker for me was the professional and friendly staff. Dr. Schwarz was really easy to talk to and explained what was going on.

My hygienist Ruth is no question the best hygienist ever! Long story short, I had cement on the back of my lower teeth for almost a decade from an old retainer. I have had regular dental visits and no hygienist until Ruth actually took the time to get rid of it. It took some muscle and time but she got all of it, and my teeth feel incredible. I can't thank her enough for going above and beyond. Go to Desert Dental, you will not be disappointed!
