Ambida Family Dentistry

As anxiety stricken as the dentist is, I actually looked forward to going to Dr. Ambida. She is an awesome dentist with a great caring staff. Sadly, I have moved out of state but wanted others to know she is the best dentist I’ve had. She has fair pricing and is so willing to work with her clients to make sure you leave and return happy. Very highly recommended.

For me, one of the worst parts of moving is finding a new dentist. I always end up visiting a few before I find one who I feel comfortable going back to. When I moved to Minnesota, I think I went to four before I finally found one to stick with. I’ve been to two already since I moved here, making Dr. Ambida lucky number three. I’m not a person who makes quick, rash judgements but when it comes to dentists I totally do. Whether they seem too pushy with all of the latest dental trends or too drill-​happy or not conscientious enough, I am guilty of walking out of that first appointment knowing whether I’ll be back or I won’t (and it’s typically the latter…). Dr. Ambida’s office is small, cheery, and comfortable. The woman at the front desk was just lovely and started the appointment off right. I immediately felt comfortable around Dr. Ambida and felt like she spent a good amount of time with me, checking out my teeth and gums thoroughly. She definitely is not like some dentists I’ve been to who have the hygienist do all of the work and then come in for 2 minutes to say «everything looks great!» I’ll definitely be back and so will my husband.

I’ve had some pretty terrible dentist experiences in Lone Tree. I was beginning to give up all hope of ever having a good dentist until I made an appointment with Dr. Ambida.
I called and spoke with Vivian who was cheerful, friendly, and efficient. She took all of my information and got me booked all in the span of 2 minutes. Two days later, I had my first exam/​teeth cleaning (the last place I went made me split up x-​rays and cleaning into two separate days!!).
1) The décor is beautiful. I feel like I’m hanging out in an upscale living room. She also has a bunch of great NEW magazines and books stacked up for you to read while you wait. (Although there wasn’t much of a wait… BONUS!)
2) The examination room is clean with a big window for you to look out at the Rocky Mountains. My last dentist had no windows and broken equipment. Dr. Ambida’s office had top-​of-​the-​line, well-​taken-​care-​of equipment.
3) X-​rays were done efficiently with no discomfort.
4) Dr. Ambida came in and did the cleaning. She was SO NICE and really gave me great information about what was going on with my teeth; alternative solutions to keep my teeth healthy (chew gum with Xylotol in the first 3 ingredients– it promotes saliva which makes gum-​chewing easier on your teeth); and she genuinely cared about my health, comfort, and happiness. She is sharp, relatable, and great at her job. Also, my mouth feels super.
5) I had to get a filling re-​done (Sigh… my jangly dentist from before did a hack job). She scheduled me for the next business day. Her assistant had amazing attention to detail– my mouth feels wonderful. They also communicated with me and let me know exactly how I would feel the next day. (Sore jaw from the shot, tender gums, etc.) I experienced a little of it, but not much.
My mouth feels great. And, as dorky as it sounds, my SOUL feels great from finding such an amazing dentist. I’ve even convinced my husband, who hates dentists, that Dr. Ambida will change his life.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ambida for the past 3 years and I am convinced that I will follow her wherever she goes. In the past, I’ve had experiences with dentists that were average – not bad, and not impressive. Dr. Ambida’s skill and knowledge is impressive! She redefines the practice of true preventive care. She must have laser eyes because she caught my daughter’s suspicious looking tooth even before I ever noticed and I consider myself a pretty obsessive/​compulsive type. She said let’s watch this, and boy did she do that. By the next appointment, indeed the tooth needed further action on it and it was taken care of right away before it could have been a problem. Thank you Dr. Ambida for not just saying you care but SHOWING you do really care! It is so good to know that we’ve found someone we truly can trust!
