However, there have been some concerns regarding communication and handling of insurance-related questions. While the dental work is often pain-free, customers have experienced inconsistencies in information provided about coverage and pre-authorization. In particular, there have been issues with unexpected procedures and delays, leading to frustrations during visits. Some reviews mentioned long wait times before receiving treatment and issues with billing and insurance verification. Overall, while Apple Valley Dental & Braces is praised for its friendly staff and quality care, there is room for improvement in communication and efficiency during appointments.

    A really good place for children and adults. Just know that you will have to wait and be patient because not only are they trying to help you with your dental needs they have to help a lot people so if they are running behind just sit down and be patient they are trying their best to help everyone. The dentist and dental assistant are super nice and don’t complain about the wait but understanding that they trying. Thank you to dental assistant Olivia and Crystal.

    My son is under 10 and he needed a tooth pulled due to an infection underneath a crown he had so we didn’t want him to be traumatized by having a tooth pulled so we decided to have him knocked out while they did it . The anesthesiologist was amazing , kind and gentle I was so thankful and impressed with his empathy while putting the mask on him and comforting him . It was so fast the whole thing took 30 min . It was an experience for a child that every parent in this situation would be thankful for .
