Dr. Denos is a great dentist. I've had 3 appts with him and every time has been a great experience. His office staff is great. Prices have always been competitive as I am a cash pay. Charges were always clearly stated up front and honored on the back end with cash discounts. NO "discount plans" or obligations for a year to get a cash discount like EVERY other dental practice out there. One of the very few good ones still out there. When he retires shortly St. George will lose a great one! The lady that works up front (lady doesn't show the respect/gratitude she deserves but, im horrid with names) is the icing on the cake. I have been greeted with a smile, had my questions on dental procedures/billing answered with competence and integrity without games. There's a difference between being competent and really caring, she embodies both.

I rarely post reviews but Dr. Denos deserves it. He is one of the few Dentists out there these days that will only do what is necessary to fix your problem. He's not one of those snake oil salesmans which (unfortunately) has become the norm for so many greedy dentists out there. You can totally trust him if he tells you that you need a crown. No question in my mind. His pricing is also very fair. And... he won't just refer you to a specialist every 5 minutes. He does root canals on molars! What a novelty that has become these days as so many dentists have become scared of their own shadows when it comes to liability that they won't hesitate to inconvenience their patients by pushing them off to a specialist. I would highly reccomend him. Hence his 5 star rating.

I've had some awful dental experiences in the past and have hated going to the dentist. Going to Dr. Denos has helped me have more faith in dental work. Having not gone to a dentist for years I needed a lot of work done. There were times where my mouth hurt so bad I wanted to just rip them out and eat applesauce the rest of my life. Dr. Denos and his team were able to diagnose and fix the problems AND (the most important) get me in for a couple emergency appointments when I was in the most pain. The anesthetic he uses was AWESOME and he would give me as much as I needed. Now after all the work has been done my mouth feels solid, clean, and healthy. He had a lot of patience with me and has earned my business.

I had a crown that was pulled off while I was chewing on a piece of salt water taffy. For the next 4 years I would use denture adhesive to keep it in place because I hated going to the dentist. I had a bad experience and didn't like going to see the dentist. However, the crown kept coming off when I chewed food and I would bit on it which would reduce the size and shape of the crown to the point where it was a bigger nuisance than I wanted to deal with any longer. Emagine if you can the crown would break and I would pull out the dremel to reshape it and put it back on til there was not much left. Finally I made an appointment with Dr Denos. I was pleasantly surprised to have my tooth repaired with no pain. And the best part is that he repaired the tooth and put the crown on in the same day. No waiting and no pain. I found a dentist I love. Two weeks later I had two kids go see him and both kids enjoyed the no pain dental visit. My daughter was terrified of what pain would follow her visit. When she came out she said, no pain, but the taste, I don't like it.

No complaints. from setting up the appointment to the full procedure they were very professional and friendly. This was my first time at this dentist, and my first time to a dentist in 12 years, yet everything was easy peasy. The paper work was kept minimal, and there was no judgement for my lack of going to the dentist. Even the wait time was very short. Megan, my hygienist, was phenomenal; she was very friendly without being uncomfortable, and there was absolutely no pain. She explained every step and made you feel like she cared. Denos was also great, although you only see him for less than a minute, I feel like he is a cool guy. The building was easy to access, and the parking lot fairly laid out. The facilities were clean, and the waiting room was very comfortable. I feel like this is a trustable dentist and will return.

I've been to so many dentist in my life but this one is by far the best Rick payed attention to me during my root canal to make sure I was feeling no pain and if I was he knew it before I even had to say something and stoped to make sure I was properly numb. he took very good care of me told me what he was doing and when he was doing it told me what to expect and what not to. he was even great with my son it was his first time coming to the dentist and he let him see his teeth in the mirror my son is actually excited to go back that's huge for a 5 year old then to top it all off he personally followed up with me the same day to make sure I was feeling great and I was I will never go to another dentist again I enjoyed it so much that I actually came back 4 times in one month to finish up the rest of my fillings and I'm still verry impressed with everyone there just awesome if you're not using Rick give him a try he's awesome

Fantastic experience, moved to the area approx 5 years and struggled with finding a family dentist.. until NOW!! The staff here is so polite and go out of their way to help you. They do phone reminders and post card reminders and overall just make it easy to schedule. Dr Denos, is the best dentist we have met, he is on top of his game with knowledge in his field and have the most up to date equipment. Highly recommend

I have been visiting the same dentist for the last 12 years here in southern Utah. You just stick with what you know. I was given the opportunity to start a relationship with Denos Family Dental by winning a teeth whitening kit. I was so impressed with the manner in which they took care of that process that I went ahead and scheduled a routine cleaning a few weeks later. I can say now, that I have found my new dentist. The organized staff and friendly hygienists at Denos Family Dental have made a loyal customer out of me.

I recently learned that Dr. Denos applies an anesthetic that he has specially formulated so you don't feel the needle, making a visit a truly pain-free experience. I've taken my family to Dr. Denos for years, and his pain-free treatments are just one reason we'll keep going back. We love Dr. Denos!
