Rio Rancho Modern Dentistry and Orthodontics

The staff is the best, not everyone loves going to the dentist but they make every experience the best. Great caring team!

I went here for a permanent retainer replacement. Orthodontists typically use bite paper to check for proper bite and alignment before calling the procedure complete. The doctor here didn't do that. I had to call back and ask to come back in to have it done because my bite was so bad. That's ridiculous. Nobody should have to do that. I now have an appointment with another practice to make sure it's correct. I paid $400. Extremely upsetting.

I had a filling replaced at Rio Rancho Modern dentistry. Dr. Hand did a fantastic job. She made sure I felt no pain or discomfort throughout the entire process, and she informed me of every step before she proceeded. The other Dentist even made a point to come in and introduce himself and welcome me to the office. Great assistants and professional through and through. I hope I don’t need more dental work, but when I do, I’ll be making an appointment with Dr. Hand.

Okay, so I am the biggest baby EVER at the dentist. I had to go today because my tooth chipped and it got infected, the pain was unbearable! I was hoping they would give me antibiotics and send me home but they suggested I get a crown.
You can imagine my stress level when I heard that. They gave me the choice to do it right then or next week. Of course I wanted to come back but I needed some relief from the pain.
Scared to death, I had to go home and get my air pod pros so I could have some music. I thought about not coming back due to being scared but wanted to get rid of the pain.

I admit I needed a lot of gas but I made it!! Dr. Hand, Skylar and Tonya were fantastic!! They knew I was nervous and made sure I was okay all through the procedure. It really wasn’t bad at all!!
I highly recommend these guys, wonderful people and caring and sweet! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️

08.11.2018 I'm updating my review to 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (from 3 stars, a year ago). In my original review I had recvd questionable work performed by a young, male dentist that is no longer working there. As a result of the work he did, it caused me to return to Modern Dentistry on several occasions for correction. I have to say...since Dr Connor took over this place, he has been wonderful. From the get-go he was willing to correct the work the prior dentist did. He tried on multiple occasions to work with what he had but ultimately he decided to redo the procedure the correct way ..the way it should have been done by the prior dentist (long gone.....as he should be). Prior to Dr Connor's taking over of the group, I was iffy but now I can confidently say this is my dentist & I will refer whenever I can as he is upstanding, considerate & professional. Oh and can I just say the way Dr Connor & Jonathan, his assistant, work together is like a well-oiled machine...s...m...o...o..t...h! Jonathan is not only great at anticipating Dr Connor's next move, he's also so friendly & makes you feel at ease. Actually, this whole team is that way....unintimidating. The entire staff is friendly, helpful, always smiling and eager to help. They know what they're doing here.

I brought my 92 year old mother in for a consultation for her overall dental health and to discuss the possibilities of new dentures. The dentist was wonderful and advised us that with new dentures her eating capibilities would be vastly improved. He also gave us other options that were a little more pricey. My mother chose the new dentures and was told that if the dentures didn't fit properly or needed to b adjusted they would continue trying until they got it right. She went to a couple more visits where they adjusted her dentures, then on the last visit she was told that most people with dentures never have the same chewing/eating capabilities as they did with their own teeth and she pretty much just needed to adjust to milkshakes and soft food for the rest of her life! Which was a vastly different opinion then what we had been given when she was first seen. My poor mom still can't eat anything but soft foods and has pretty much given up hope on ever enjoying food again

Went here for my first time for an exam and cleaning but instead the tried to upsell me on this and that. After the end of my visit I never got my cleaning and instead got set up with appointments for caps which I'm not sold on. I would not recommend this place at all. They only care about money than they do about the patient. Definitely looking elsewhere.

Dr. Connor and his staff were amazing! I get extremely anxious when going to the dentist like most people, and I was made to feel comfortable almost instantly. I had a broken tooth that needed to be extracted and one dentist I saw before visiting this office told me I would need to go to an oral surgeon and he couldn't do anything. The oral surgeon they referred was not available until July 17 and I need this tooth out now (due to abcess and pain). After calling several other places we were made aware of Dr. Connor and his office, and were told he could do it and is experienced in extractions of broken teeth. Well he successfully did it and although I'm in pain at the moment due to the numbness disappearing, I know it was a miracle to find this Dr. on short notice and on a Saturday!! Also, Jordan was awesome in that she was able to explain the financial part very well and their prices are quite reasonable (with or without insurance). Thanks so much Rio Rancho Modern Dentistry! I will be back to get my crown on my other tooth soon.Can't believe I'm actually looking forward to going back. :)

Your txt messaging system is very unfriendly and very limited options.

I love coming here. I recently went for a cleaning and had a great experience. Everyone is always so nice and friendly when I walk in.
