Only dental office EVER to check my insurance and make appointments that are in compliance with the insurance .
Last dental office...got hacked...and since the hacker deleted my insurance...they kept sending demands for payment.We had to discover the root of the problem from Action 7 news .. who ran the hacker story ....lol
The Mountain Dental staff was extremely professional. Dr.Savannah and Sophia made my dental crown experience so pleasant. They were kind, gentle, and experienced.
I’ve been going to Mountain Dental for almost 3 years. I am never kept waiting and the office is well organized and friendly. I am very happy with the dental work I recently received for a broken tooth - now a cap. Another time a sore/sensitive tooth I was sure would need a root canal turned out to be sore from probably clenching my jaw. The dentist took a ‘wait and see’ approach which was correct to do.
Got my teeth cleaned. Professional staff. Raquel was thorough and attentive. The dentist, Dr. Alex, was practical and supportive. I trust Mountain Dental with my oral healthcare.
Now that my son and our family business are located in Española, I'm very pleased to take care of most of my needs there. I have been delighted with my decision to use Mountain Dental. The whole staff is friendly and kind, the service and scheduling are easy and thoughtful, everything from a standard cleaning to a scaling and debridement goes super smoothly, and is more reasonably priced than in Santa Fe.
Raquel and Loretta did amazing as usual and Dr. Alec was a pleasure to meet and made you feel comfortable. Friendly front office staff and Jenny the dental assistant was very accommodating with our schedule. Amazing team!
Both the doctor and his assistant were very patient, kind and professional. I have extreme dental anxiety, and they took better care of me and treated me better than any prior office has.
I can honestly say that my appointment and experience with the doctor and his whole staff was no doubt the best I’ve ever had so far.
I’m going back for sure (probably without being forced by pain too!)
Thank you Dr. Alec and Sofia!
Customer service is great as well as the exam. The Dentist and Dental Assistant we're very friendly, they provide outstanding service. Keep up the good work!
I wish we had health insurance as responsive as Mountain Dental. I lost part of molar, and they made space that day to do a floride treatment, which easied the sensitivity of the molar. Within 2-3 weeks I had a new crown, h-ll w/ Presbyterian it would have barely been the first visit.
10 stars if I could give it. The hygienist got plaque off my teeth that a prior hygienist said ‘just won’t come off’ and I can now feel the posterior side of individual lower incisors with my tongue as opposed to the wall of plaque that was there. They also made molds on the spot for whitening that were ready later the same day. All staff members I encountered were friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. Best dentist experience ever.
My overall experience was exceptional! The staff was great. I was in and out in no time and left in no pain! I will definitely recommend Mountain Dental to all my friends and family!

It's my first time visit to Mountain Dental yesterday for cleaning. Everybody was attentive and professional. I surely will recommend Mountain Dental to all my relatives and friends!
Let me begin with...I HATE DENTISTS! Well that was true until I went to Dr. Wilson at Mountain Dental. He restored my trust in Dentists. I highly recommend him and his whole staff! Jenny was also fantastic and worked well with Dr. Wilson and actually relieved my anxiety!
I am new to town and wasn’t sure where to go for my dental care. Found Mountain dental in my google search which had a 5 star rating with excellent reviews. Gave it a chance and was very impressed myself with all staff; from check in, to the dental exam with Dr. Wilson and my teeth cleaning. I’m now a permanent patient :D
A special shout out to Loretta, Raquel, Dr. Wilson and the rest of this very capable team. They were friendly, professional, accommodating and gentle. Thank you for calming my nerves and creating a very workable plan for my dental work. I appreciate your kindness.
Dr. Wilson is awesome and the rest of the staff treat you really well. They are always so quick so there is never much of a wait. I’ve finally found my primary dentist after such a long search!
Everyone is polite and sociable. Great customer service! They work with your schedule and provide appointment reminders. Very minimal waiting for scheduled appointments. The facility is clean throughout. Gavin is focused and direct which is appreciated. He makes you feel relaxed before starting any procedure. I'm glad I got established here before they get overbooked.
I LOVED my visit. This has been my best dentist visit for easily 10 years. Everyone was friendly and professional. There was a lot of communication from the staff to (myself) the patient: this procedure will help with this ____ situation is that Okay? Asking me before they left if I needed anything or had any questions. Letting me know that they were expecting it to take more time, I texted my boss and they held to the time they estimated. Free WiFi for while you wait. During my filling and cleaning I was asked if I was doing okay and it was made clear at the beginning if I was in pain I was in control to ask them to stop and we can figure it out.
Bottom line: excellent communication, clear costs, no unnecessary treatments, and friendly and professional staff.
I'm 86 yrs old man (using my wife's e-mail) and had to have a molar removed. Dr. Samuel was very good at explaining what was going to take place. The tooth took longer to extract because it was in such bad shape. He is a very kind & gentle person & wasn't in a rush to get the job done. In addition he called to check on me to see if every thing was okay.
First visit went extremely well. Staff was very professional and the visit was quick. Dr. Samuel was very attentive and caring, made sure I understand everything well. Cost for service was amazingly affordable.
My first visit to Mountain Dental was amazing. Dr. Samuel was kind, gentle and fast. What a relief. It was not scary, and it was affordable. I am so grateful! His staff was friendly and the hygienist so helpful and loving.
I was seriously thinking of changing dentist. I am so glad that I decide to stay. Dr. Samuel is great. I loved the way he listened to me. I at last found a dentist that didn't make me feel that I was not doing a good job cleaning my teeth. I though I was never going to find someone like Dr. Manzanares. I believe we just got better. Pray he stays for a long time.

Mountain dental is full of professional staff, they make sure that you are comfortable and that everything is done in a pleasant/professional manner. They change the image of going to the dentist from being scary, to being something to look forward too!
Great dentists, great hygenist and awesome front desk staff! Everyone is kind and curteous at Mountain Dental. Had intense work done and they did it while keeping me extremely comfortable and I had no issues after my visits. They focused on me and making sure I was comfortable as all my work was done. They explained everything they were doing and all the care they were providing and needed to provide in upcoming visits. They also worked with me on my insurance and how they billed my Care Credit account.
Every 6 months I visit the lovely folks at Mountain Dental for a cleaning, and I'm never disappointed. The entire staff is so welcoming, friendly and organized I won't go anywhere else after visiting them. They are professional, friendly, courteous and really enjoy helping the folks of the Valley keep their smiles bright and happy.
