Cherry Hills Dental

This team is just absolutely phenomenal. They recently bought the practice and TOTALLY turned it around. Their new lobby is much more comfortable and up to date and their staff (part old, part new) is so compassionate and professional. In general I have pretty good teeth, but with a few sensitive spots. After every cleaning I feel great. The hygienists are gentle and use a water pick first to break up anything sticking so they don't have to scrape so hard or make your gums bleed. They also got me set up on a tooth whitening set that is specifically for sensitive teeth - which had always been my main deterrent before.

In the past, I have had such bad experiences while getting impressions for a night guard, with assistants overfilling the putty and it dripping down my throat so that I gag, that I actually have recurring nightmares about having to do them again. This sounds ridiculous I know and is not a rational fear, but honestly are fears ever rational!?!. Their team did such an outstanding job making me comfortable and keeping me calm through the process and the worst, awful, most-terrible 2 minutes to get them done perfectly - and NOT have to redo them!

I've been going to them for a little over a year now. In that time both my sister and my mom both chipped a tooth and with an after hours call, they were able to squeeze them both in the next morning and work over their lunch. They are just so caring and accommodating and just awesome!

Another reason why I love these guys (and why I left my last dentist, that I also loved for every other reason except this) is that if you need any work done, they will actually run you through all the options, all the risks, and also check with insurance to see what is covered and what the best plan of action for your teeth and your pocketbook is. Then they let you make the decision.

One time after my cleaning, while I was waiting to see Dr. Reed, I overheard a conversation of one of the team members with an elderly man. He was having some decaying teeth pulled (which were almost all of them) and debating about keeping his good teeth for partial dentures, getting them pulled for full dentures, or referring him to someone for implants. What I loved was how compassionate they were and how they told him about the recovery time for each procedure, what the best option was based on his diet (dentures vs implants) and also how his insurance cover things. They would only pay for dentures once in his life, so if he got partial ones and lost another tooth, he'd be out of luck. They don't pay for implants - which he would need if he wanted to continue to eat some of his favorite foods because he would get frustrated with dentures with those foods, but he could replace the bad ones now and the others as he needs them. That type of information is key in making decisions. I don't know what he ended up choosing, but I just loved how they presented all the information to the man and let him decide what is best for his lifestyle and budget.

In conclusion, I absolutely LOVE this team. Dr. Atem Reed is phenomenal. Their office manager, Catherine, is also amazing. Their front desk ladies are so efficient in scheduling and billing insurance, and their hygienists are gentle. Is there really anything else you could ask for in a dentist? Maybe they could give foot massages while getting your teeth cleaned. That's it, I'm docking a star for lack of foot massages. (Just kidding!)

I highly recommend Cherry Hills Dental, which we have been happily using for many years. Dr Reed’s dentistry has been consistently excellent, and the staff hygienists and office personnel provide very good care and friendly service.

I am so pleased with the prevention measures that the practice has taken. Actually I would not have expected, since I have always known that both Shannon and Dr Reed adhere to the highest standards of professionalism their practice. I could not be more pleased with Cherry Hills dental practice than I am.

Cherry Hills Dental Center is the absolute best dental clinic I have ever been to! Due to some childhood trauma at the dentist’s office, I was always afraid to go to the dentist’s office. Everyone at Cherry Hills-from Virginia at the front desk, to Leslie, my hygienist, to Dr Reed-Everyone is wonderful! It is the ONLY dentist’s office that I have been to, and had ZERO pain! I highly recommend them!

I made an appointment with my preferred hygienist 6 months in advance. The appointment was cancelled as the practice decided not to honor their standing Friday appointments. I rescheduled, and without notification, I was swapped to a different hygienist that was very rough. I set my next appointment with my preferred hygienist. Again, without notifying me, they assigned me the same rough hygienist, telling me that my scheduled one had left the practice. Having learned my lesson from the last visit, I left. The front desk staff refused to tell me which practice the hygienist had moved to.

Everyone is warm, experienced, and knowledgeable. I always feel that I am in good hands.

As always, got an appointment quickly, was seen in a timely fashion, and had my dental issue addressed quickly and professionally. Great experience, all COVID-safe. I highly recommend Cherry Hills Dental!!

Very professional, knowledgeable in a very clean & comfortable environment (as comfortable as you can be at the dentist, that is). Siri took excellent care during my procedure and was constantly giving me informative updates.

Thank you for getting me in so quickly. I received friendly, professional service; a complete exam which ended in a referral. I appreciate a doctor that when it is needed doesn’t hesitate to refer to a specialist.

Being a new resident of Albuquerque, I was both apprehensive and hopeful about my first visit to Dr Reed’s office. I am happy to say that I was made to feel very comfortable and professionally cared for.
