My husband went to Ingrid Bernal off Rolling Acres and really liked her but cost was high in my opinion. I have good teeth so I try to find cheapest special in TV newspaper. I saw Roger Bryant also Rolling Acres area several years ago and had a good experience. Loved his staff and hygienist. Very thorough cleaning and exam.

Last year I went to Royal Dental in TV which turned out to be the second worse dental experience of my life after having a wisdom teeth pulled without pain medicine. Office was busy and full of customers. My hygienist was effusively glad to see me and talked non stop but in such broken English I could understand very little of what he said. I did understand him when he told me he was going to do the best cleaning I had ever had and kept telling me what a good hygienist he was. He was so persuasive that I agreed to an upgrade in the cleaning that was scary and painful. Lots of sharp pokes and high-powered water sprays. He also said I needed an antibiotic but I never understood why. I was so overwhelmed that I agreed at times just to get away from him and get out of there! Advertised price for exam, x-rays, and cleaning was I think $69 but charge at end was over $200! I complained to the clerk but she took off only the price of the antibiotic. Then she wanted to schedule a follow up appointment probably to try to see me something else!
