Salt Lake Modern Dentistry

This office is amazing. I just moved to Utah and was so pleased with their welcoming and friendly staff. The office is clean and modern. I had all of my questions answered with compassion and care. Every single person in this office went the extra mile to make sure I was taken care of and comfortable. 10/10 recommend.

I had a good experience. Chantel and Dr. Singh were very nice.

Dr. Fry is a very tall man and at first I was apprehensive about him caring for my teeth. I've had lots of bad experiences with other dentists. However, I shouldn't have judged this book by its cover. Dr. Fry was the most gentle dentist I have ever had. He took time to go over my x-rays with me and explain everything he was going to do to my mouth beforehand. He also had the front desk clerk print up an estimated cost for all the work I needed done. I ended up needing a crown for one of my molars and he offered to do it that day if I wanted. I've never even had a dentist willing to fill a cavity the same day as an exam. On top of all this, he started my cleaning because his hygienist was busy with another patient and he didn't want to leave me waiting for her for who knows how long. The only criticism I can offer is that the team didn't communicate with one another about what had already been done and what still needed doing. This didn't get in the way of my treatment...it was actually kind of amusing. Honestly I only gave 4 stars becabec I never give 5 stars. That means things were absolutely perfect and no one's THAT flawless. There is always room for change and growth.

Summary; if you're looking for a dentist, I very highly recommend these people. They're amazing!

I got the royal treatment at Salt Lake Modern Dentistry. In other words, Dr. Fry crowned two of my teeth. He used modern technology -- yes, this modern dentistry practice lives up to the name -- for a complete view of my oral health (teeth, gums, even checking for signs of oral cancer). Dr. Fry's knowledge and use of technology saved me from a future root canal, and I'm appreciative. He and his staff provide superb customer experience and made me feel comfortable in the dentist's chair. I highly recommend this practice for their expertise, friendliness, and patience.

The front desk women was great, the dental assistant and dentist were both careless bumping into my shoulder and the dentist stabbed my lip 4 times on accident.
The dentist did something very unnecessary, and it caused me to be in pain for days after. I have never had such a horrible experience at a dentist before till now.. wouldn’t recommend.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly, professional staff. Each person was extremely conversational and pleasantly humorous. Kassi, Dr. Fry, Mat, Brandy, Shand, Sarah, and Karinna were absolutely delightful and made sure to thoroughly provide any information I needed. Shand was super friendly right off the bat and worked with my insurance to give me an affordable quote. Kassi was efficient and clear. Brandy was incredibly sweet, provided thorough analysis of my dental issues, and did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable. Dr. Fry is the dentist everyone wants. He's friendly but clearly knows what he's doing. Karinna was the funniest and most thorough dental hygienist I've ever had. I'm satisfied with the procedures, the staff, and the overall environment. This place would be great for a mockumentary like The Office...only for dentists.

At Modern Dentistry (Sugarhouse location) I was absolutely attended to in every shape and form. They worked with me financially to set up a payment plan that I was able to afford. Brittany and Dr Weisenberg were very professional and had great bedside manner. It was one of my most comfortable dentist visits even though I was getting two crowns on two molars. I would absolutely recommend to friends and family!

I don’t know of anyone who loves going to the dentist, however i can say that going to salt lake modern dentistry doesn’t make me dread it anymore. Their office staff and hygienists were professional, friendly, patient, and kind. My dentist was a perfectionist and continued to check in during my procedure to make sure that I was doing okay and that I was comfortable. I will definitely be going back.

In my personal opinion, I believe Modern Dentistry and Tej Singh in particular, use scare tactics to convince patients they need unnecessary procedures. In August 2021, Tej Singh ordered a root canal for a tooth that wasn’t hurting me or bothering me at all. Fortunately I trusted my gut, refused his treatment and went to my normal dentist in September 2021. My normal dentist didn’t mention anything about needing a root canal. I asked if I needed one and they said “we don’t like to talk bad about the opinions of other dentists, but you don’t need a root canal.”

My story-
I visited Modern Dentistry in August 2021 because I changed insurance plans and my usual dentist didn’t accept my new insurance. (Side note, don’t ever choose the deltacare usa network, it’s part of delta dental, but it’s not the same as the delta dental that most employers have)

Tej Singh introduced himself and made me feel ashamed that I hadn’t been to the dentist in over a year because I had a bunch of job/insurance changes related to COVID. Then he rated my gum line on each tooth, which made me feel like all of my teeth have issues. I have healthy teeth and gums and haven’t had a cavity since I was a teenager/early 20’s, but I had a crown that had fallen out and needed to be replaced.

Tej asked: “Do you want to save your tooth?” Referring to the tooth that needed a crown. Confused, I skeptically replied “yes.” Then he told me “that’s the right answer” and presented his treatment plan that included a root canal. He told me that “I don’t feel any pain in that tooth because it’s completely dead and infected.” I thought it was strange that I needed root canal without any pain and asked Tej if he was absolutely sure I needed a root canal. He chuckled at me told me how he’s been a dentist for X number of years and he knows when a tooth looks infected.

The benefits coordinator came to talk about payment options for my $2k+ bill (after insurance) and I asked why it’s so expensive so she came back with a slightly lower bill… At that point, I didn’t trust a word that was coming out of their mouths and asked if they would just clean my teeth. Then they asked if they would like to use flouride to clean my teeth because that’ll cost $20 out of pocket (not the fluoride varnish treatment, just the normal fluoride polish). I was shocked, got up, paid my copayment, and left without having my teeth cleaned.

Amazing experience with this Dentistry today. Staff was very kind, helpful, and welcoming. Dentist was very educated and polite, and did an incredible job restoring my chipped tooth. 10/10 would recommend.
