I have not had a good experience with this office and i had a pretty bad first impression. My first visit was for an exam/cleaning and i was there over 2 hours. The dental assistant i had i am guessing was new or a temp because she had no idea what she was doing or how to work any of their equipment. Because of that my X-rays had to be redone by a different person. The dentist never came back and explained anything he saw after the second set of xrays, i was just told while checking out they wanted to fill 3 cavities, fix a cracked tooth, and extract my wisdom teeth.
I schedule the first appointment to fill the cavities and i ended up having to take my dog to the ER vet at midnight the night before. I ended up having to leave her there over night and was suppose to go back in the next morning but the office was going to charge me a $75 cancellation fee even after being told the situation which i cannot afford after the $5000 ER vet bill.
My first impression was unprofessional and second was lack of compassion.
I will say everyone in the office has been very nice both visits, and they let me only do 2 fillings instead of the 3 that were planned so that i could get out quicker. I am really hoping my experience improves going forward.

Dr. Challenger..what can I say...just the best. Trust the 4.9...but it should be 5.0 and higher. Great bedside manner, gentle touch, thorough, great results. Also, a family member, years of seeing a former dentist, who totally missed what Dr. Challenger found on the first exam. A tiny dark spot that didn't look right on the films. He ordered a ct scan...done right in his office, found a very large cyst that had been growing under 5 teeth in his lower jaw. We were able to get the appropriate care and treatment to save his lower jaw. His experience and skill is top notch, plus my fear of injections is now gone, as he is so proficient at delivering them. He also invests in the best modern technology to provide his patients excellent care. TRUST the good reviews.

Dr. Challenger is awesome. The dental hygienists are fantastic! The reason for the 3 stars is because they used to be easy to get appointments. I liked this place when it first opened. They started accepting more and more clients to the point where when you need appointments you literally have to be scheduled far out. Forget emergency dental work. I also don’t like how they will switch up the dentists without asking you which one you want to see. I didn’t like the work that was done on my teeth a few months ago. It caused more issues.

Last two visits I’ve encountered unexpected charges for routine maintenance care. The dentist office states it is an insurance issue, but I have asked prior to the service if it would be covered by insurance. They always state that it is normally a covered expense. I have excellent insurance through BCBS, so I’m very disappointed. I even asked that they put a memo in my file that I don’t want any service that insurance does not cover. I’m not sure why they do unusual services when I don’t request them.

I am terrified of the dentist. But since going to see Dr. Challenger since 2018, I think, I am at ease. He is so gentle and staff is amazing. My boys are patients of his as well. We love Dr. Challenger!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Challenger and his wonderful staff, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Dr. Challenger took the time to listen to my concerns about my ongoing pain and showed genuine kindness throughout the appointment.
He was very thorough in his examination and explained everything clearly, making sure I understood my options. What stood out the most was his reasonable approach to ensuring I was seen promptly and received the care I needed.
The staff was equally impressive, as they were friendly and attentive, making the entire experience comfortable. I truly appreciate the compassion and dedication they have for their patients. Thank you, Dr. Challenger and team, for your exceptional care!

The patient service is excellent and I always feel like I am treated as if I am family when I’m there. From the smiles at the front door when I arrive to the care I receive when I’m in the chair, I can honestly say that I really feel well taken care of when I’m at Challenger Dental
