Just visiting Salida and my temporary crown broke. They got me in immediately and made me a new temporary to get me back home. Everyone was incredibly nice, they gave me options and they were affordable. Also, in the past I have usually had dentists numb me with a topical before inserting the needle to numb my mouth. Dr. Matt did not, however, I have felt the needle more when I have had the topical then when Dr. Matt inserted the needle. I was shocked (and impressed) I felt so little. I am usually very stressed by dental work and for an emergency visit it was a quick and pretty easy visit. I'd highly recommend Horizon Dental. If I lived here this is where I would go.

I emailed the dentist my recent xrays prior to my appointment so that we could discuss work that needed to be done without getting another set of xrays. In the email, I asked them to let me know if they needed any other information. They did not let me know but when I arrived, he wanted to see my previous dentist's treatment plan and couldn't do anything without that. I was there to pay him to give me his professional opinion on what work needed to be done, not look at what another dentist recommended. The email response received from their office was about the issue: "I believe you have misunderstand the type off office and how our office works. We are a very high volume office. I am sorry that there was a misunderstanding on this matter with dr Matt. He was not able to read or look at your information prior to your appointment. It is standard that when a patient is wanting a second opinion, they would discuss what it is the patient wants the doctor to look at. The email was clear on if there was need of more we should have asked. As for that we are unsure as what we needed cause we are very unsure what you wanted us to look for." If you are looking for a high volume, low budget dentist, this is your dentist. Otherwise, go elsewhere.

I went in with a very painful tooth. They were unable to determine which tooth was giving the trouble, and so sent me away with an appointment a month and a half away. I asked what was I supposed to do, and didn't get any real answer. When I asked about pain medication, the Dr. Said, " well, I'm not going to give you any pain medication!" As if I were a junkie or something. He seemed angry, and said something under his breath as he angrily left the office. I understand that he didn't want to pull, or work on, the wrong tooth-- thats great--fine as far as it goes... He gave me a comprehensive plan of action to deal with many dental issues I have, which is also appreciated. But I left that office in tears after not being treated, and not given any idea how to deal with a bad tooth and pain. So I walked to a dentist that was next door who told me to come back at 8am the next morning. (a one hour drive each way) which I did, and paid out of pocket (I am on Medicaid) for their evaluation. They did x-rays and CT scan, explained which tooth, how bad it was, and recommended either a root canal done by an endodontis, to which they gave me a referral, or an extraction. The Dr also explained which combination of over the counter medications, and in what doses, would help alleviate the pain best. The really crazy part about this is that I am quite sure Horizon Dental knew I would need a root canal, or an extraction, because I heard the Dr tell his assistant "but she is going to need a root canal " ! I am left wondering what the heck is going on there. Sure, it was great they could fit me into their schedule that day, but thats not enough. Sorry. A day or two later, the office called me and left a message that they had a cancelation a few days away, but I do not feel confident going back there. Aside from all of the above, the office is shabby and dirty, and doesn't leave a very good first impression. That wouldn't have bothered me if I had received good treatment. Based on all the 5 star reviews here, I guess alot of people had a great time there, but I sure didn't. Now, on this holiday weekend, I am left contemplating my options; paying for care that Medicaid actually covers, or waiting another interminable span of time, in pain, with risk of infection, for an appointment at one of the Valley Wide Clinics. I am hoping they will accept the diagnosis of the 2nd dentist and do an extraction asap, without sending me home, only to have to wait even longer for an appointment for treatment.

I have mixed feelings about this place. I chipped a tooth a while back and have been unable to chew with my RIGHT side, as there is roughly 1/4 of my tooth missing. I went in for an intake appointment (X-rays and whatnot) and the doctor explained the work I was going to need done on my mouth as a whole. That was fine, it made me feel like they had a plan. The day of my next appointment arrives and I'm sitting in the chair when the assistant asks me, "So where do you want to start today?" What? Where do I want to start? I was caught completely off guard. I thought you guys made a plan for how we go about this. So we did work on the upper LEFT side. Getting the work done on the left side is fine. It needed to happen anyways. But had I been informed that its was UP TO ME where we start, I would have picked the side that actually was giving me trouble before having work done on teeth that weren't giving me problems. So now I'm here with sensitivity I never had before, on the side I HAVE to chew with, still unable to use the right side of my mouth. Let this be a lesson to myself and future patients: after your intake appointment, after they have assessed your mouth and told you what work you need done, YOU DECIDE WHERE THEY START AND WHAT HAS PRIORITY. I only wish someone would have told me. Like maybe the doctors office. "What side is giving you the most trouble?", not "Where do you want to start?" Or maybe inform the patient that it is in fact up to them what takes priority. Had I just been given that simple information ahead of time, I would have been ready to answer the question and probably ended up a lot more satisfied. Maybe it's my lack of common sense, maybe they could have made it clearer. Either way, 2 stars. I will finish out my current dental work and find a different dentist. Edit: All of that being said, the work they did do was done well and in a timely manner. I just would have preferred to get the particular work I had done after my primary problems.

I can't recommend them enough. They made my 2 hour appointment more than tolerable, even pleasant, after I spent the days leading up to it anxious. Sonia assisted Dr. Matt today and they were both wonderful. All of the staff, starting at the front desk is always very sweet and welcoming. I'm actually excited for my next appointment and to continue working with them! Thank you

By far best Dentist Ive ever been to! Hes great with the needle hardly any pain even though i was panic ridden and tense from past experiences. They explain everything before they do it and are so nice! I dont think i could ever go anywhere else ever. After just one visit getting a crown removed i was sold and my dental anxiety is almost gone for the first time in my life! ****edit just had more work done and ... i cant even express how greatful i am to Matt and his team... they kept apologizing for taking so long even though they weren't and i had to tell the tech im not impatient im beyond grateful this is my mouth we are talking about here... take all the time im just so unbelievably grateful that they care so much and took care of me so well and ended the last few years of misery from bad dental work. I felt zero pain and im just i cant express how grateful i am to these people. Im kinda teary typing this.... salida is beyond lucky to have such a great dentist who knew? Lol i just wish i found him sooner!
