NM Community Dental & Med Spa

Yesterday I had a tooth pulled and 4 fillings. It was done quickly and with a minimal amount of pain. I found everyone very pleasant and friendly. Actually enjoyed being there which is strange to say about a dental office. Today I don't have any pain at all. I was given a light weight rx for pain and antibiotics. Today I haven't had to use any of the pain meds. I look forward to continued care from this office.

I highly recommend this Dental practice. They go above & beyond to help you with all your dental needs. Everyone there is so kind, personable & professional. They work with you & your insurance company & help you with your financial situation. I can't say enough about them. They're the best 🤩

The only good parts of my experience was the short waiting period and the customer service of the desk attendants.
Going in for the initial consult, I expressed my extreme anxiety of having dental care, to Dr. Lantz, from negative past experience. He seemed genuinely sympathetic to my concerns, at the time.
I was told I would need one extraction, and two crowns, (The crowns were to cost 1200.00 each, my insurance would not cover, I agreed to pay out of pocket) and four fillings, by Dr. Lantz, I was not excited, but agreed to start with a teeth cleaning, and move on to the fillings, and then the crowns, ending with the extraction.
The teeth cleanings were done by two different dental technicians at two separate times, a month apart. First left side then right, the cleanings were not consistent with one another.
After two months from my initial visit, I went in for the suggested fillings. The left side of my teeth were done by Dr. Lantz, on a Tuesday.
I woke up the next day and my mouth was in pain, I could not chew. I called New Mexico Community Dental (NMCD) and was told the dentist was not in and I would have to wait until Monday to meet with the dentist. I called on Monday and the dentist would not be able to see me until Wednesday. I was prescribed a narcotic to relieve the pain. When I went in on Wednesday Dr. Lantz checked my teeth and told me that sometimes people need longer times for the mouth to adjust to new fillings, which are a foreign object that has been introduced onto the mouth. Dr. Lantz also told me a story of his own father doing eight fillings in his mouth, and it took six (6) months to heal, or get better. I was not encouraged. I scheduled another appointment for two weeks later to check on the fillings and pain again.
After two weeks of pain I went back to NMCD, an met with Dr. Lantz again. He checked my teeth and took more x-rays and assured my my teeth were okay, no cracks uneven surfaces and the fillings looked good. I told him my mouth still hurt. He suggested giving it a little bit more time and made another appointment for a week later.
When I returned to NMCD I told Dr. Lantz my mouth still hurt and could not chew properly. He assured me he did the right job and that these things just happen sometimes, people are different.
I told him I was going to get another opinion and he immediately became cold, and defensive said that was my prerogative.
I made an appointment at Comfort Dental on Lomas and met with Dr. Jeremy. Dr. Jeremy immediately recognized that the surface of all the fillings that were put in by Dr. Lantz were too high and uneven, caused me pain whenever I chewed anything on my left side. Dr. Jeremy fixed the issue; after a month and a half of pain. I felt a difference instantaneously after the remedy. NO PAIN!
I went back to Dr. Jeremy at comfort dental and he did the fillings on my right side mouth. He was very empathetic and took great care to put me at ease while he worked on my teeth. The job was done correctly with no residual discomfort or pain, at all! Dr. Jeremy called me three days later to check on my fillings and I told him they were great.
I have since gotten my teeth properly cleaned again and will continue to go back to Comfort dental for all my dental needs. BTW, my crowns are going to cost me 750.00 each!
I would not recommend New Mexico Community Dental for anything, They are scammers and unprofessional!

I was treated well, given thorough treatment, staff is very kind. The front staff are very polite, professional, approachable and helpful. The ladies performing the cleanings were exceptional, answering every question, asking how I was feeling not just once but continuously. They took extra time to make sure I felt well and pain free and went to great lengths to make sure my repeated questions were answered. I felt well cared for! I had numerous cavities filled, tartar removed, fluoride, and wow what a gentle flossing, and they are helping me with my receding gum issues. My teeth feel clean, and look much better. They took the time to help me understand factors that could be the reason for my gum issues and addressed even the alternative types of things Ive been trying like oil pulling and took time to instruct me. They even did an oral cancer screening. Waiting at the dentist is to be expected anywhere that is just the nature of it! Office was clean, waiting room and restroom all clean. I am very pleased, they even helped me afford it, hassle free and worth the wait. I thank goodness for Community Dental. I wish I had know about them sooner! I'm actually looking forward to my next visit.

I went to this facility today to have a broken tooth looked at. Dr. Mason saw me and he was able to do a full exam with xrays and was able to perform a filling. I have seen him at Valor Dental as well on Coors. This place out-shined that facility 100-1. The front staff were very welcoming. They were nice and friendly. The facility was really clean and i hear that they are in the work for remodeling as well with all new equipment. I have already recommended a couple friends to go to this facility for any dental work they need completed.

I called this facility at 430pm on 03/10/2020 and they were able to have me an appointment at 930am the following morning. That is great service.

Dr. Lantz and his staff are absolutely wonderful people! Very professional in every way! They handled my situation with great care! Would highly recommend Community Dental!

Absolutely the best dentists and dental assistants I’ve ever been to. Very kind and accommodating. Made me feel right at ease. I will definitely recommend Community Dental to anyone needing quality dental work.

This is a great dental office. The whole front office staff was very friendly and they helped explain what the doctor wanted to do. The hygienist was excellent as well my teeth felt great. One thing was that their schedule fills up pretty fast so book soon if you need it!!

I don't have dental insurance and qualified for their income-based discount program. Unfortunately, root canals and crowns are not discounted through that program, so I had a tooth extracted. One of the dental assistants was extremely helpful and reassuring when explaining my options to me. All-in-all, I appreciate that they have some sort of discounted services, as I need to make a repeat visit for some fillings (which are covered). Very friendly staff all around. Thank you Community Dental!!
