Dr. Patel performed the all on 4 dental implants in 1 visit. Temporary teeth were provided same day while my gums healed from the procedure. Designer Dental staff was great and accommodating.

I rarely post reviews but my visit with the new hygenist named Bruno was too pleasant for me not to post something. Ive been to this place since i was a kid 20 years ago under Dr. Miller. The place is under new managment but they also got a bunch of new equipmemt for x rays and color images which was nice to see. The hygenist Bruno did a very thorough & excellent job with the teeth cleaning. He took the time to answer any questions I had. I really liked the before and after cleaning pictures he took. I wish the desk receptionist would say something when patients walk in. A "hello" or simple "good morning" goes a long way. It felt a bit awkward to walk in and see so many unfamiliar faces.

I've been a patient for 20+ years and don't mind my 40 minute drive The Office is ultra modern (except for waiting room chairs) and I'm very comfortable with Dr. Akashi and Mary; happy with the care I've received.

This was my six month check up. The dental hygienist (Mary I believe) does an excellent job. My teeth feel great after the cleaning and no problems (cavities).

Everybody here is delightful. Mary especially is a wonderful dental hygienist and very personable. Nobody made me feel bad about lapses in care like some dentists do, but they were very helpful in giving clear advice on what to do. They show you everything on the x-rays and are very thorough.

My wisdom tooth came into contact first before I could chew my food. The food did not taste right for me. Consulted with Akash from Designer Dental Group...he was so warm and personal and suggested me a few dental adjustments on my wisdom teeth. I whatsapped him when can I have my adjustments.... I was given the appointment just the day after. I thought I have to wait for a month. But that was not the case. Went to the adjustments this morning. Hardly Akash took 15 mins. Came home and had my lunch. I am not exaggerating, the food tasted different able to engage all my teeth in my chewing. The feeling was awesome. Thanks Akash!!!
