Highland Dental

Not having been to the dentist in a while, the office staff made me feel really comfortable. I was embarrassed to go to the dentist do it was important for me to find a practice that made me feel secure. I could not have asked for better treatment. I feel so much better now that I’ve gotten everything done with my dental health. I am on the right track now and I definitely have Highland Dental to thank for that. Would recommend to anyone I know.

Embarrassingly I have not been to a dentist in probably a decade. I hadn’t have any issues beyond staining so I just never bothered. A couple of years ago I did go to another dentist and they said the usually no cavities but in need of a deep cleaning and it would be $ 900 with insurance so I passed.
While I still did not have any issues I got tired of looking at the plaque between my teeth, my wife suggested this place and I’m glad she did. Clean office, quick service and friendly staff. They got straight to work with the initial exams and such. Turns out I did need a deep cleaning but it would be $ 150 and that’s without insurance not $ 900.
They take care of children as well so looks like we have found a new family dentist.

I was looking for a dentist in a HURRY for an emergency extraction of a bad tooth. I visited a certain dentist in Smyrna who begged me to get a root canal even though I told him I couldn’t afford it as I wasn’t working at the time and even after insurance it was an $ 800 procedure. I realize it’s a dentist’s job to give you options and to try to save your tooth so I wasn’t upset when he basically refused to do it until I’d gone to see the Endodontist he recommended –which meant I had to pay another $ 100 for someone else to beg me to keep a tooth when I knew wasn’t an option for me at the time. Not to mention having to schedule an appointment with someone else prolonged my pain and agony. Anyway, I did what I was told, saw the Endodontist, which was a huge waste of time and money and tried to get back to the original dentist to pull my tooth which he promised he’d do once I had the consult. Well when I tried calling his office, he had zero free slots until over a month later. I explained to the receptionist that this was an emergency and he and I had already discussed a plan and told her that he said he’d take care of me and I was in way too much pain to wait. That didn’t away the receptionist at all and she basically seemed cold and unfeeling. I decided to reach out to another dentist and that’s when I found Dr. Mike at Highland Dental. They took me right away and after I explained my situation he didn’t try to pressure me to go anywhere else he just took the tooth. The first thing he did when he walked into the room before the procedure was put a hand on my shoulder to reassure me I thought that was awesome. It was very quick. Something else that impressed me was the fact that his prices were reasonable and my insurance covered most of it BUT he originally thought the extraction would be more than it ended up being so he corrected it and saved me money. I wouldn’t have known the difference if he’d stuck with the original price so it was honest of him to do that. Since that day I’ve been back twice for a cleaning and fillings and I’ve made this my dental practice my new home! It’s a clean, beautiful office with entertainment in every room but you never have time to entertain yourself because the service is so fast! I had a cleaning and two fillings and was out in under an hour! The staff is also very professional and pretty friendly. I also like that they’re open on Saturdays, makes scheduling appointments convenient when you can’t get off work. My only critique is that I’d love it if they could explain a little more before starting the procedures just for myself who can get a little nervous. But, they’re so fast that then just get in, do what they need to do and have you out the door, can’t be too mad about that. Other than that, I like this place a lot, so far so good with Highland Dental!

As stated in my tip, Dr Mike it’s a really caring guy and a really good dentist. We’ve been patient s here for 5+ years. My kids are not afraid to go to the dentist.

This dentist is awesome, thats all I can say!
