Healthy Smiles Dental Care of Lansing

My experience here was the best thus far at any dentist. From start to finish everyone was helpful and they got me an appointment the same week I called as it was urgent. My favorite part of the visit was working with sunshine. She was wonderful and very knowledgeable on helping you find the best financially plan while still getting you the hep you need. I look forward to continuing getting help from them because they show me that they care of my health.

After the hygienist kept saying his name wrong, I corrected her & he enjoyed himself. I wasn't ok with the 20min wait we had though but the way they treated my 5yr old was quite exceptional!

I switched here because they are in network with my insurance at first they were ok but now all of sudden I have 8 cavities (which in my 36 years of life I’ve never had that many) so I went a got a couple filled and my very next cleaning visit they told me that I needed to get crowns on the fillings they had just done and expected me to pay for everything again on top of what I already paid for! They told me I needed over $10,000 of dental work done…I take care of my teeth! They did the exact thing to my sister and her kids. I also had to wait 1.5 hours in their chair one 2 separate occasions. They don’t really care about your dental health they are just trying to squeeze money out of people

Healthy smiles has had a change of management or ownership? The front desk did not know what teeth they were doing a filling on , booked me for an appointment i specifically did not request to get booked for , had an appointment to check my filling which they never booked and then wanted me to wait two hours for the next appointment even though i already schedule and confirmed the right appointment a week prior. Whatever has happened to healthy smiles is sad , I’ve been going here since i was a teenager and now I’m switching to a new dentist. Save your time and money and find a new dentist. Do better healthy smiles

Excellent dentist! I just moved to lansing and was nervous about trying a new dentist. The hygienist and the dentist were wonderful! Even the front desk staff, they were welcoming and truly cared about helping me rather than up charging me for bogus things. I really appreciated the service/ cleaning and am looking forward to continuing care with them!

If I could give this place zero stars I would. DO NOT GO HERE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE. This place is high volume/ revolving door. Many times I waited more than 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment time to even be called back. The dentist will see you for about 1 minute and then charge you full exam fees etc etc etc. They are unprofessional and even worse unknowledgable about dentistry. And I can confidently say this because I seen 3 of their dentists including the head dentist (Rodriguez) and nobody could help me. They started diagnosing me with problems I didn’t have until I came there. Extremely untrustworthy!! Again do not send your children here especially. I came in for a simple crown placement. Which I thought wasn’t hard. The doctor (Ludkin) started off by calling his assistant trash (as a joke??) which should’ve been the time I walked out. Instead I decided to go through with the crown placement and as he was taking off the temporary he was ripping on it so hard I was wincing in pain so he stopped and said very crappily “do I need to numb you?” Why on earth would you need to numb me to remove a temporary crown? He continued to place the permanent and I told him that it was to big it was putting pressure on my other teeth he said “your teeth just have to adjust”?? He cemented it in and walked out. His assistant came in and said you’re all set. No adjustments made, he didn’t even come in and look at it. About a week later I’m in extreme pain. My tooth hurts, and my jaw hurts soooo bad. I couldn’t close my mouth right the dental crown was so big it was misaligning my jaw. I went back to this office 7 or 8 times for “adjustments” and dr Ludkin shaved down two of my permanent teeth without asking “to make room” for this crown. At this point my teeth don’t match and I’m experiencing sensitivity in the teeth he shaved down. He didn’t even adjust the crown he placed! In his world he did it perfect smh. They tried to send me to ortho stating it wasn’t there problem, they tried to prescribe me medication, they tried to say I had infections. All things that weren’t needed and I didn’t have issues with until I came into this office. Finally 2 months later they put me in touch with the head dentist Rodriguez who walked out on my when I started crying because I was explaining to him how much pain I was in literally so much I’m basically bed ridden extreme pain extreme depression because nobody was helping I felt hopeless I didn’t deserve that pain. Dr Rodriguez threw his hands up while I was crying and yelled I’m not talking to her send her to the specialist. Which was the endodontist who confirmed I didn’t have any infections. I finally went to a new dentist who did a SIMPLE crown adjustment on my first visit and I have been out of pain ever since. The dentists here do not know a thing about dentistry again do not go here do not send your kids here. They will cause problems that you will pay for. I was miserable for four months after leaving this place, mentally and physically in pain. This place is a joke and act inconvenienced by you when they caused the problems in the first place. I have never been treated so unprofessionally in a health care setting.

I know the reviews on here are pretty mixed, and some of my family and friends have said they've had negative experiences here, so I was a bit nervous. But my dentist and all the other staff have been super good with me and really nice!

Excellent staff. Nice office. I was able to make a future appointment for a periodontal cleaning in less than two weeks. I am happy to have found my new dentist in Lansing.

I had a tooth filled at Healthy Smiles Dental and after a while that tooth started to ache. I called on a Thursday night after hours and left a message saying I needed to get in right away the next day due to pain. The next morning, I drove to said dentist and they were closed on a Friday. (Some Luck) I was in too much pain to wait so I went to the next available dentist I could find that would let me get in ASAP. Since they didn't take my insurance, it cost me over $2000 for a root canal because the filling I had gotten from Healthy Smiles was too close to the nerve of my molar. After over three days I finally received a message from Healthy Smiles saying that I would still have to make an appointment to get in. After three days in tooth pain, Healthy Smiles basically didn't care about the problem they caused me. I would not recommend this place......

Love my dentist, the staff is great. They take good care of me, I am very happy with Healthy Smiles Dental Care.
