Santa Fe Dentist Office

Two years ago, when the other dental office I was going to was totally booked up, I was referred to Santa Fe Dentist Office to complete a procedure. This turned out to be good fortune, and I have been going there ever since. After a further fifteen or more visits (I had a whole mouthful of problems!), I can report that they are very professional and pleasant to work with. I've had root canals, crowns, fillings and extractions, finishing up with dentures. The folks at Santa Fe Dentist Office were good at answering all of my questions, and they have worked with me, within reason of course, on scheduling and financial matters. Dr. Wynn and staff are great, and I recommend them to anyone who needs great dental care.

I've been a faithful patient here for five years and am committed to stay. Dr Winn is very capable and gentle. The technicians and assistants are great. The reception staff have been very helpful with the labyrinth that is my insurance and have saved me hundreds of unnecessary co-payments. I first came in with an emergency toothache and I was mercifully fit into the schedule. Since then, I've had many checkups and cleanings. I've also referred a few more friends who are as enchanted as I am. I'm so glad I found this office.

Been coming here for years even since I moved out of town. Hands down - the best dentist I’ve ever had! The entire team is always professional and friendly!

Let me start off by saying I honestly don’t leave many reviews. After my visit I felt the need to ensure everyone knew how friendly and amazing the staff was! Codi was my hygienist and she was by far the best I’ve ever had! She talked you through everything and made sure you were comfortable at all times! I will make sure that when I book my next appointment it’ll be with her!

I am grateful to have found The Santa Fe Dentist Office.
I felt the warmth and caring from the time I walked in when I was greeted by the receptionists, just what most of us hope for when we go into any business, especially when it comes to any type of medical facility! The dental hygienist was careful and considerate, especially with putting the x-ray equipment in my mouth. I have had others be so rough with dental work and just go through the motions of getting the work done without much regard for the patient. I was then greeted by Dr. Wynne who listened thoroughly to my concerns. She put me at ease, and explained that I needed a root canal. I had to have a new bridge put in as well. The old bridge was 25 years old! I appreciate that I was given an endodontist for the root canal who was spoken about highly by the staff, and not just someone I was referred to off premises. Ryan Wilson, the endodontist, was friendly and thorough with his explanation on the work I had to get done after the root canal. He's good at what he does!
I appreciate that Dr. Wynne welcomed my questions about the work I had to get done. I thought I was asking too many questions, and she encouraged me to ask as many as I wanted. She along with the dental hygienist made sure I was comfortable.
My bottom front tooth chipped on the inside a few days before getting the work done for my bridge. Of coarse I thought the worst and figured I needed a crown. It was really sharp and my tongue knew it was there all day long! Dr. Wynne explained that these things happen to people's teeth and that she could easily fix it by smoothing it out. Well, she fixed and it's like it never happened!
The folks at this facility are welcoming, caring, and engaged. Dr. Wynne is really good at being a dentist! All the folks in the office care. Dr. Wynne explained to me a healthy fundraising water campaign that the office is part of. It's purpose is to bring clean drinking water to families in third world countries who are at risk of disease due to unsafe water and poor sanitation. The program helps to build water wells in, and to provide water filters to communities so that mothers have more time to spend with their children, and less time has to be spend hauling water for miles on a daily basis. Dr. Wynne was enthused to speak about the program when I asked about it after seeing a photo on the wall.
It's a real nice program to be part of, which to me is another sign of caring!
I am waiting patiently for my permanent bridge to arrive. I am very happy to have a temporary bridge that fits so well. I thought I was just going to have to live with a darn temporary and “put up with it” until the permanent one arrives. Well, I don't mind waiting because I go through my day and don't notice it! It is like night and day now how I feel about my teeth now compared to two weeks ago. Now I am relieved. Thank you!
I appreciate very much that I was treated as a person and not just a number. I appreciate that I was looked at in the eye. I was truly cared for there! These folks are smart and run a nice dental office. Thank you all very much for caring.

I figured I could book an appointment in about 5 minutes so I tried calling between a memorial service and burial service. Took me 23 minutes to schedule an appointment. I pretty much had to cut the phonecall short bc they were gonna make me late to the service by taking 15 minutes to check for availability and another 7 minutes of questions that didn't need to be answered over the phone.
I'm sure this is a great place of business with great service, but they need to streamline their scheduling

I visited this dentistry office 3 times, and the front desk screwed something up every time. The final straw was a hygienist appointment that was scheduled for today. They texted appointment confirmation as usual a couple of days prior to the appointment. When I arrived, the person at the front desk could not find my appointment. Oh wait, "there are no hygienists in on Mondays!" she told me. Then, she asked me if I wanted to reschedule. I told her politely that I'd find a new dentist. The bottom line is that the care was fine, but the office staff is poorly trained.

Update: Unfortunately SF Dentist Office has had a lot of turnover. There's a different dentist now and there have been several different hygienists. Today a new one just started. The one before didn't last a year. This is so disappointing. If this office wasn't incredibly conveniently located, I would have moved somewhere else.

My husband & I have been using SF Dentist Office for a coupla years. I have to admit I didn't expect too much from what I assumed was a “chain” dentist office. But I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

I really like Dr Montgomery. He’s kind & caring & competent & pays attention to what I say. And I really like Ariana, the dental hygienist. Between the 2 of them and their conservative approach, my teeth are in way better shape than they used to be. I also like their conservative periodontist, Dr Sasan. He encourages me to keep on taking great care of my teeth and is not in any way pushing me into expensive, painful surgery. :-)

I have always taken the best care of my teeth I know how to do. But it wasn’t good enough. I have periodontal disease which destroys bone and leads to losing teeth. They showed me how to use a SonicCare tooth brush AND a WaterPik twice a day. And now my gums and teeth are in very good shape. If I had been using these tools for the previous years I would not have the bone loss that I have. So I’m pleased to recommend this dental practice.

My husband too is pleased with the office. A coupla weeks ago he broke a tooth on a Friday night. He called SF Dentist Saturday morning. They not only got him in right away, but they X-rayed the teeth which showed that the tooth in question was broken as was the next one. Then they spent hours on a Saturday drilling the teeth and making/installing 2 crowns. Dr Montgomery was careful to give him enough Novocain to make sure he had no pain. The crowns fit perfectly. The next day my husband was a bit sore but was very happy with the results.

Went in for a cleaning. First time there. Had a gum test done and was told needed a appointment for treatment. No cleaning was done. Double checked with front desk and was no charge. Months later I get voice-mail how they can't find my insurance ID and now am getting a bill for 182.00 for basically them doing nothing. This place is a scam. Beware!

With research at Santa Fe in finding a new dentist, we settled on this one for several reasons, modern, pleasant staff, and easy access. Today I had a wisdom tooth extraction (last one was 25 years prior). We found the receptionist (Kasey) professional and efficient (even though I could tell she was busy). Once I was placed in an exam room the other staff members were most professional and congenial (each one took the time to pleasantly convey each step of today's visit to my satisfaction). Dr. Montgomery was my DDS, I liked him instantly, he was professional and efficient. He made me feel at ease and took the added time to patiently explain all the steps he would make and how they would impact me. After very sophisticated x-rays, etc., and numbing shots, Dr. Montgomery expertly removed my tooth (the extraction was so painless I didn't even know the moment the tooth was actually pulled). I was amazed, and have experienced no pain or swelling so far. Dr. Montgomery is a pro, and his staff are all-stars! Granted this is just an initial visit, but I hope to continue patronage as I have other issues addressed in the future.
