The office staff is fantastic, particularly Marlo the office manager. I really enjoy her refreshing fun personality. I lost a crown and she was nice enough to meet me on the weekend to fix it, when the office was closed! Very easy to work with.

Messed up my teeth twice in a row! After I called and voiced my concerns about the unskilled manner my cavities were fixed they offered to fix them a third time. As you could imagine I was unwilling to let the ineptitude of this dentist give it another go. Along with the sub-par fillings I received I was also misquoted as to the co-pay I would be responsible for by HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS for each of my unfortunate visits. I requested my copay to be refunded and THEY REFUSED! Look elsewhere for your dental needs I implore you.

They make sure they have you have signed the financial agreements and made the initial payments that insurance won't cover. THEN they will be forcing you to sign an agreement allowing them to use your child's information outside of their office.

I ended up going to Alta View Dental Care due to biting on a bone and my old metal filling popped out. I tried to set up the appointment as a checkup and to get a new filling. They were able to squeeze me in their schedule within a couple days. When I arrived for the appointment, I had to wait a bit (about 45mins) as they were running behind. After I was in the chair they started taking x-rays of the issue area, I asked if they were going to take the rest of the x-rays for a checkup and I was told that I would have to set up another appointment as they didn't have time for the current appointment. The dentist came in and told me that I needed a root canal because a cavity built up behind the filling that popped out, even though the x-rays did not show anything close to the nerve. On top of that, I had no discomfort at all, even from drinking hot or cold drinks, and I had just been to another dentist (that was too booked to fit me in) 6 months prior that found no issues. The dentist explained that the x-ray didn't show the full extent of the cavity and from his experience it needed a root canal. I asked him to try to clean it out and fill it only. The dentist then used his drill and kept grinding away to clean out the tooth. After a few minutes of the drill and constantly pushing very hard, I eventually felt pain. He seemed to be pushing to hit the nerve the whole time. He then said that there was no way around it and I had to get the root canal. During the root canal, the dentist mentioned that he was glad that my appointment was scheduled for plenty enough time to do the root canal. I thought to myself, how could this be as I was trying to do a regular checkup and was told there was no time. I believe they had planned on doing the root canal even before I got there, regardless of anything. It is too much to be a coincidence. Unfortunately, I had a few root canals in my life and I have seen the x-rays every time and I feel confident that I was tricked into the procedure. On top of this, since the root canal, I've been having issues with the tooth, meaning they didn't do a good job at all. However, I will never go back to this dentist again in fear I will have to have more unnecessary work done just to help the business to have income. On top of that, they kept pushing for me to get a crown with them, instead of me going back to my regular dentist...

Look, I seldom go to the dentist. There's a considerable fear involved because previous dentists just never used enough anesthesia, so the experience has always been torturous for me. Unfortunately, my tooth broke, and after placing several calls, Marlo, the office manager, took mercy. Not only did she fit me in on an emergency basis, but they all stayed late to give me a temporary crown and they said they would come in over the weekend to fabricate a permanent one. Everyone there was caring and considerate. Dr. Hughes was kind, understanding, and made sure to give me adequate anesthetic; Marlo, whose concern I already mentioned, and Susie, the technician who helped create the crown, was very nice, too. The word is used perhaps a bit too often, yet this practice truly is awesome. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

If you're reading this review.... You probably don't have anyone close to you in the Salt Lake valley, with an opinion (on local dentists) that you can trust. Not that you can trust me either, but I'll tell you what I've learned over the last ~15 years with Dr. Hughes and his staff. You can see for yourself, if you decide to give their practice a try. *He sings. Dr Hughes. He sings and hums. Not loudly, or obnoxiously, but little, light, usually happy tunes from years gone by. Sometimes his staff will join along, sometimes they'll just smile and playfully give him a hard time. Regardless, if you don't want a happy, singing dentist... Go somewhere else. This office has people who enjoy what they do, even if it involves all the normal dental-related unpleasantries. *Time is precious. If you're running 5 minutes late, expect a call. Don't get me wrong, there's no over-inflated sense self-importance, or weird domineering business practices going on here... This office works on courtesy and trust. You said you'd be here on a certain day and time. They have always been there in the earliest, coldest, and darkest of mornings, for us. Please respect that. I'm usually 5-10 minutes late and it makes me feel terrible. They've never shamed or lectured me, but I know others could be in the chair getting help, but I took the spot. *Opiates. There was a time when Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, etc. were handed out more freely than they are today. Addiction and death have changed that. Do not expect to get these drugs here. This isn't an office of new professionals eager to, "heal the world" at any cost. Your sad story isn't going to work here. If you're hooked on opiates, benzos and the like... Go get the help you need, or take your addictions elsewhere. I don't want you ruining the people and practice I've come to love and rely on. I don't know if you've got it from my review, but I LOVE coming to the dentist! Well... THIS dentist :) The thing is, I think they are love me too! HIPAA Compliance will prevent them acknowledging that, but I don't need them to. They keep seeing me, year after year... And that's plenty for me :)

Great family dentist. I am thankful that this office does not try to upsale or do things that are not needed. Friendly, honest and warm. Marlo is the best addition to this office she really knows how to explain everything and is always willing to help you out.

Dr Hughes and Becky are super great. I just moved to Utah from LA and I never thought I'd find the right dentist for me and this is it! So welcoming and you feel at home. They make me feel as comfortable as possible and are so detail oriented walking me through all the steps and reassuring me that they will help me with any dental needs. Not only are they great dentists they are great conversationalists as well. Every time I go in for an appointment they go above and beyond! My appointments are always super fun because I can joke with them and just pretty much talk about anything and everything. My last appointment I ran into some issues and I was about 30 minuets late I felt terrible but the second I walked in they made sure that I was still taken care of and hopped right into my appointment with absolutely no rush. You can tell when a business is either money hungry pushy and I can tell you that they are not it. No matter what cost they don't even push you to pay they just get the job done and reach out to me later for payment. Everyone that works here is amazing and fun and understanding, especially if you're a college student. And because my gums are super sensitive I was given not one but three Tooth pastes for sensitive gums and two flossing little tubes and a super soft tooth brush and some hand cream after my visit!! The only thing I look forward to at the dentist is the awesome gifts afterwards. Love it. Awesome service will be making this my go to dental ! Thank you Alta view my teeth look awesome!
