Pleasant Dental - David Daynes DDS

Having had my husband follow up with the specialist on the root canals that have been neglected by the Dr., I decided to give it a shot with the professional as well. For over a decade, first with my husband and I, and then with our kids, we have been patrons of this facility. Regular check ups every 6 months; we even got Christmas pictures in the mail from them. You would expect some more love and tender care from someone sending you Christmas pictures, right? To make the story short, 3 root canals between two molars, and a wisdom tooth extraction later, having received “it takes time to heal/everything looks great/we can put you on antibiotics” another time, I gambled with the specialist. Leaving alone thousand of dollars down the drain, I have to extract those two poor molars as there is no bone left to save. No bone, Karl! Does the missing bone mass not get picked up by any standard X-ray equipment? Happy holidays to you all! Do your homework when picking a general dentist or it will cost you. A tooth or two, and maybe your savings account.

I had some pain in a recent root canal, and found out from root canal specialist that not only that tooth, but three other root canals I had done by Dr. Daynes were infected and needed to be redone. Whats frustrating is that I would mention these other crowns as still being sensitive or painful at times, but Dr. Daynes just reassured me that everything was fine, but obviously not. Plus one root canal could possibly need to be surgically redone as there is something stuck in one of the tooths canals, which the specialist said could be a piece of a file that broke off from the original procedure, which is probably why this root canal failed and got infected. My whole family has been going here for 10 + years, you want to feel like you can trust your dentist, and I feel like I forked over thousands of dollars for dental work that I just needed to pay thousands more to get redone.

I have an intense skepticism of dentists. I have been to so many that try to sell me things I don't need or exaggerate conditions. Dr Danes is not that dentist. He took a few minutes to chat with me and get to know me on my first appointment, the woman at the front desk even remembered me when I came in to pick a friend up for a wisdom tooth extraction. I had been there once. When I went for my first check up and asked about getting a mouth guard and my remaining wisdom teeth out, he presented me with the easiest and cheapest options. I have never been to a more reasonably priced dentist in my life. I don't have stellar insurance either. I just got a filling and my wisdom teeth pulled and the procedure was quick and painless and I felt well taken care of. Dr Danes is a great guy and everyone that works there is incredibly kind. I have recommended so many people to Dr Danes. I will come to his office as long as I live here. He is just phenomenal.

Due to medications I have had to take for chronic health conditions, my teeth have really started to go downhill compared to the relatively healthy teeth I was used to. Dr Daynes and his team have been absolutely amazing!!! From the broken tooth that caused incredible pain to the basic cleaning, they've been so awesome. The staff is so friendly and they all remember personal details that make you feel like you aren't just another patient. I've never had a dentist experience like the one I've had with Dr Daynes and Pleasant Dental. I can't see myself going anywhere else.

In the past month, I’ve visited Dr. Daynes and the nurses here four different times to get procedures done and all have been a smooth ride. It’s honestly been a treat to get to know them in small ways even if my mouth is open the entire time. Best dental experiences I’ve ever had! Seriously 10/10 would recommend over and over again! I would certainly keep coming here if I wasn’t moving!

Dr. Daynes takes the time to be thorough in explaining why he is recommending the course of treatment, as well as what other options are available.
I find him very competent in the technical aspects of dentistry, and several procedures he has done with me have turned out well with no complications. (root canal)
He is also a genuinely nice person, as are his staff.
Highly recommend.

I have gone to this dentist for years and didn't have a bad experience until this last year when I went in for a check up. He inspected my teeth and told me that I had 3 cavities. I was astonished because I hadn't had any watch spots before when I had come in and I hadn't had any problems my entire life and all the sudden 3 cavities? So I told him I'd wait a little bit before I spend so much money trying to fix them because I wanted a second opinion. In a hurry to take my money the receptionist told me if I waited any longer I would have to get a root canal. WHAT? I was so upset so I went to a different dentist and he told me that those "cavities" were watch spots and not even close to an actual cavity. I have not had to have them filled, let alone get a freaking root canal. Would not recommend. I felt that they had lied to me.

Can I just say he is one of the most gentle dentist I have ever been to. I barley felt the shot and the hour passed by before i knew it. They say root canals are painful, but mine was great. I felt the staff cared and i like how they tell you what your insurance will pay(estimated to pay) before they start so there isn't any surprise after. I think what people need to remember is that insurance is insurance and they do what they want. Iv'e never had a problem with there billing and they have always been great to bill my insurance and get them to pay. Love love this place!

I come from a medical family and I am very particular about the medical and dental care my family gets. We have been going to Dr. Daynes for our dental care for the past nine years and have found him to be an exceptional dentist. I have found out that he has taken 2 extra years of post-dental school education. We are pleased that he stays up to date on the new techniques. This means a lot to us. We have noticed the state of the art equipment and cleanliness of the office. The office is in "old town" Pleasant Grove and we always enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere. Most important to us is Dr Daynes professional care. Our family trusts him. He has always been honest with us. He and his staff have stayed after hours to finish procedures so we don't have to return for another visit. We appreciate his patience and care. His work on all of us has been excellent. I am very particular about my teeth and my family's teeth (you only have one set) and I have chosen Dr Daynes for me and my family and would recommend him as an exceptional and trustworthy dentist!

Dr. Daynes and staff are very respectful and personable. They listen and take the time to help placate our concerns, no matter how small or large. I'm tough but I really get scared at the dentist's office. Dr. Daynes is gentle and he explains everything he is going to do. He's been great with teeth cleanings for my kids and they love coming to his office. My daughter had to get an emergency tooth reconstruction and they fit us in immediately. I had my first root canal, and although my mouth is taking time to get used to it, Dr. Daynes went out of his way to help me realize that everything is as it should be and didn't charge me for testing things out and making sure everything is A-OK. We're glad to have found Pleasant Dental, Dr. Daynes and staff! We're very pleased to be able to go to him for all our future dental needs.
