They explain things super well, take Continuing Education to be able to bring back better workflows to patients in Montana. You all are in good hands!Posted on Debra Behnia TehraniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the best Dental Clinic experiences of my life!Posted on Robert SaavedraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had previous dental work done at another dentist in the valley and it didn't turn out so well. I called Quartz Creek because I was having awful tooth pain where the previous dentist had placed a crown. I did not want to go back to the previous dentist so, luckily, they took me in same day. I ran into Dr Jon Light and upon initial review he thought I might need a root canal. He was going to send me to a specialist, but I asked him if he could do anything right then and there. He took an x-ray and came back and told me that he didn't think I needed a root canal and he wanted to take another look at the cap. He did some filing down on the cap. Made it a little more comfortable, and suddenly the pain went away! I can now drink cold things and hot things without pain. I can bite with it again. I'm very pleased with the work. And the best part was he charged me a nominal fee. It wasn't crazy, ridiculous expensive. It was quite affordable. I will go back in a few weeks, or whenever I can get an appointment, to get my teeth cleaned. I recommend this dental office highly!
