Highlands Dentists

I have been seeing Highland Dentists since 2020 and they are amazing.

I absolutely love Highlands Dentist! Been coming here for over a year now and have had nothing but great results. Before I came my teeth were not being cleaned properly, until this place! Super nice staff, Dr. Shonts is also one of the best dentists I’ve ever had!! Thank you!!

Dr. Shontz and the rest of the staff at Highlands Dentistry were very knowledgable, friendly, and welcoming. They took great care of my needs and saw to helping me with a dental emergency very quickly. Since my visit they have been going the extra mile to see that my additional needs with specialists and scheduling have been met. I highly recommend them!

Always have a great experience at this office. From the front desk to the doctors to the back office. Modern technology and a great location. Never have had better dental care

My visits here are always quick and easy. Dr. Shonts and her staff are friendly and efficient.

DO NOT COME HERE. As a first-time patient, Dr Kirk/Chase Lewis quoted me for two crowns, multiple cavities, an extraction and said I need to come in for cleanings every 4 months. The first half of these procedures was going to cost nearly $5,000. This seemed extremely suspicious to me, since I am 30 and my teeth have always been in great condition. I consulted my previous DDS in Wisconsin for a second opinion with the X-rays and scans they took during my visit. This dentist said there are no cavities in my mouth and absolutely no need for any crowns. He also consulted another DDS, as well as advanced dental software to be completely sure. I've filed a formal complain against Dr Lewis with my insurance provider for unethical dentistry. Please do not let him near your teeth and seek care elsewhere.

Do not go to this dental office. I'm honestly surprised this practice hasn't already been sued for medical malpractice. The dentists present everything like a sales pitch and are constantly pressuring you to do unnecessary procedures. They are also very rough on your teeth and gums, because again, I believe they are trying to convince you that you need additional care. I've never had dental anxiety my entire life until I started going to this practice...entirely related to how uncomfortable the cleanings were and how much I didn't trust the dentists. Dr. Kirk Lewis wanted me to come in every 4 months for cleanings and claimed I had 4 cavities which needed fillings. I got a second opinion from a trusted dentist at a practice with all 5 star reviews. This dentist said I had no fillings with 1 tooth that we were just going to keep an eye on. He also said there was absolutely no need to have cleanings every 4 months and that my insurance only covered cleanings every 6 months (which wasn't explained to me at highlands dentist). TLDR: this practice only wants your money, doesn't care about you as a patient, and makes cleanings uncomfortable to convince you that you additional procedures.

Got a root canal and crown done by them a few years ago, and the root canal was performed improperly leading to a re-infection.

They will up sell you on everything. Also old equipment and assistance didn’t even know how to work the machines. I would not suggest this place for anyone and they will upsell you on stuff you don’t need and replacing “all you filling”. DONT GO HERE

I went in for a routine cleaning and they told me I had a crack in an existing crown that would need to be replaced, despite my having no pain or discomfort. After replacing the crown, I was in the most pain I had ever experienced in my entire life. It turns out that the technician who replaced my crown never bothered to clean out any of the excess cement after the procedure, which inflamed all the surrounding tissue horribly. I went back in and the dentist painfully scraped all of the excess cement away, but a week later, I am still in agonizing pain. I’m now scheduled to have a whole root canal with another dental practice just to alleviate the constant, unending pain that Highlands Dental has put me through. My tooth is still howling as I write this review. I’m gobbling Advil just to stave off the pain. I can’t sleep through the night. This is misery. There was nothing wrong with me until I went to this dentist office and paid $1700 to be put in a constant state of pain. If I can even get one person to avoid the agonizing incompetence of undergoing treatment at this nightmare dental practice, I’ll rest a little easier.

A month-long science experiment reached its conclusion today as my girlfriend returned from her dentist appointment. This time, it wasn't with Highlands Dentists. Data: HIGHLANDS DENTIST: patient returns crying, feeling exploited, manipulated, and coerced into consenting to unnecessary care after experiencing physical and emotional distress under the hands of the dentist known as Cuck Lewis. OTHER DENTIST: patient returns smiling, happy about the empathy and sensitivity provided by skilled & respectful healthcare professionals. when informed of previous negligence, this dentist made sure to work with care. Summary: The data leads us to believe that the patient was pressured into consenting to excessive care through a number of techniques. During the periodontal probe, Cuck Lewis was observed applying excessive force to the patient's gums. This led to exaggerated results, as well as pain & bleeding for the patient. Lewis then attempted to leverage this abuse against the patient, suggesting procedures like scaling & root planing. His negligence was plain to see as the patient was presented with their treatment plan while crying and panicking, confused about what was being recommended to her. Lewis also offered to correct a slightly chipped tooth, even though it's a very cute tooth. She declined. Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? Yea, she's sure. I offer this L The other dentist scoffed when informed of Lewis' recommendations. Her follow up appointment with them is in March. Conclusion: Be careful when interacting with medical predators such as Cuck Lewis DDS. You may fall victim to the following scheme: Lewis: "When was the last time you received dental care?" Patient: "It's actually been a while since my teeth were cleaned!" Lewis: "I see..." *drooling, thinking about money* EDIT in response to generic HR copy-paste: Take the L. Seriously. Reevaluate your business practice, have a team huddle, idk. I have words for you and they’re much stronger

I’m usually super anxious going to the dentist, and they really helped me out with feeling comfortable, and did great work! Would recommend 💯

LOVE this practice. They pay attention to details during my cleanings. It’s obvious Dr. Shonts cares for her patients and loves what she does

Awesome experience with Dr. Shonts and the team. Comfortable, honest and efficient from start to finish. Greatly improved my quality of life from a single visit. Highly recommended.

The office manager here is absolutely terrible at her job, and has caused so many issues it’s caused our family to leave the practice after 6 years. While the dentists at this location have been decent (although there is a crazy turnover… we’ve had a different dentists every year for 6 years), Andrea Shivers is unbelievably difficult to deal with, unprofessional, and incompetent. It is truly shocking that she still has a job, and this reflects poorly on the management of the office in general.

I went to this place on 7/29/2022 @7am for routine cleaning for the first since my new insurance has them listed as my primary care dentist. I was very dissapointed with the cleaning work done to my teeth. I should have heeded the warning from other peoples reviews. Like others. I felt i was being upsold on other services that insurance wouldn't have covered. When i said to lets just go with the routine cleaning for now. He barely spent 10 min poking at my gumlines painfully before calling it quits. I would have expected to take more than 10 min. He Kept insinuating that i needed to schedule an appointment for a deeper cleaning service which makes sense now. I wouldn't recommend this dentist to anyone, let alone family or friends

Highlands Dentist and Dr. Shonts are the most caring and competent dentists I have ever been to. As a type 1 diabetic my teeth and gums are more prone to gum disease and require diligent care both from me and the dentist. Dr. Shonts has taught me how to take care of my teeth beyond what I ever thought was possible. Because of Dr. Shonts I have healthy gums and teeth that look and feel great! I can not express what this level of care for me and my special situation means to me. I highly recommend this incredible office, Dr. Shonts and all her amazing staff.

Like many, I dreaded going to the dentist, UNTIL Dr. Shonts and her staff made me feel like family,like my individual needs are a priority, time and time, again. The entire staff is caring and patient and Dr. Shonts is knowledgable and understanding. I seriously can't say enough about Highlands Dentists!! P.S. if you have to get regular cleanings like me, request Kayela--im on the sensitive-side, but she is so incredibly gentle and after my visits, my teeth have literally never felt cleaner--trust me, you won't regret it.

I had a bit of anxiety going to the dentist after many years of putting it off. Dr. Shonts and her staff made me feel so comfortable and kept me informed every step of the way! I really appreciate the care and knowledge Dr. Shonts shared with me during my visit and put me back on a path to healthy teeth and gums. Definitely recommend!

This practice is super friendly and always helpful. Dr Shonts is great. Highly recommend
