I'm leaving a fresh positive review for this dental group as of 05/15/2024. I've been going to Chino Hills Dental Group since 2004, due to where I used to work and never lived down in that area, however, 1) I have new dental insurance (AARP Delta Dental) 2) I had an appointment for 05/15/2024 at Chino Hills which they cancelled due to my familiar doctor not being back until 06/20/2024. I also was scheduled to have another deep cleaning done and my usual xrays and consult with the dentist, which I did not want to wait until 06/20/2024. So, I decided to do some research and I learned that Apple Valley Smiles is a "sister" group of Chino Hills Dental and they would be able to see my previous records. I have had extensive work done in the past 20 years. I called and changed dental offices and made a new appointment with Apple Valley Smiles Dentistry for believe it or not, 05/15/2024 to have the same done as I was scheduled for at Chino Hills, the same day. I was excited big thing, I saved myself about 6 hours of driving, much less stress a win win for me (I'm also OLD) LOL. From the front desk reception, xray tech, dentist and hygienist ALL were extremely friendly and professional. My chosen dentist, Chelsea Paclibar came in, introduced herself, was very warm and professional, very straightforward with my latest xrays and what she prioritized without "selling" unnecessary work. She took her time, genuinely listened to my concerns. I did have 1 tooth hovering on the border of possibly needing a root canal but for sure a new crown because there was a visible piece broken in it. I saw it for myself, no smoking mirrors. Next, I met with Ana the program manager for a breakdown of costs. Since the crown is located way in the back of my mouth, I chose a combination of metal and porcelain which my cost is $595. And my deep cleaning breakdown was $175 for my portion. I actually enjoyed my deep cleaning with Vincent Alaniz, my new hygienist. He did explain some new things that I have never heard before about different types of water flossers and which one would be easier to use. So, I went back in on 05/17/2024 to have my bad tooth worked on and luckily, Dr Paclibar was able to "save" it unless, I have any future problems then they would address those if they came up. Very satisfied with my experience with this office.
