Stay away from Dr. Tchakarova (Columbia Prime Dental). They'll rip you off by doing a ton of unnecessary work. I moved away from my original dentist and found her office. She said during the initial teeth cleaning and screening that I needed 12 (yes 12) fillings. Next teeth cleaning I went back to my original dentist (who I trust completely) who said I needed 0.

I had the same experience with Menton Family Dental. Said I needed a ton of work on my first appointment. Got a second opinion from Katkow Dentistry and they said I needed zero. Stayed with Katkow for several years and was really happy with them. Unfortunately they no longer take my insurance. :(

Katkow Dentistry. Usually ranked among HoCo's best. It's a family owned/operated business and I have always received excellent care and advice there. Highly recommended.

Not dobbin. Everyone goes there to the point where you have to wait 9 months for your 6 month checkup. I’m switching asap.

I’ve only gotten cleanings, no substantial work, but so far I’m happy with Elegant Dental in Century Plaza.

Katkow Dentistry is great. They don't take Delta Dental which is one of the larger dental insurances. They will however submit the claim on your behalf.

For everything routine (cleanings & xrays) I've nearly received everything but maybe 10 dollars back from the insurance claims. Again, they're one of those places that will not rip you off and will not perform a dental procedure unless completely necessary.

IMO, it's worth the 10 dollars. Haven't had to have filling work done luckily, so I can't say what a claim will payback in that case.

I can also understand that you might not always have the money to pay a bill up front. So it does mean paying and getting reimbursed by your insurance company.

I would say to try staying away from any of the dental offices that are tied to Heartland Dental. This happened about 10 years ago. I don't quite understand the relationship, on whether they actually bought up private practices or simply are involved in the administrative end of the business. I know of three different practices in the area that went through big personnel changes when Heartland took over.

A common experience with any of those offices seems to be that you need all kinds of dental work. Some people have mentioned that here. You just need to do your homework and see if they're tied to Heartland.

Personally, I was with one of the those dental offices which went through a change after Heartland was involved. I went in for routine, the dentist which I expected to see wasn't there. They had a 'fill-in' for them and the 'fill-in' tried to get me to agree to an emergency root canal.

Told them I would get back to them and never went back.

Talked with Katkow Dentistry, they recommended I see an endodontist. No issues were found and definitely no need for a root canal.

Dr. Katkow (senior, now retired) did a little fix on one of my fillings which he believed might be the cause for the sensitivity and I've never had another problem since. That was 6 years ago.

Be careful when shopping around for a dentist.

EDIT: changed my initial info about Heartland.

I've had a good experience with doctor dodek, it's near the lake Elkhorn park but the other side of broken land.

Highly recommend against Wendy brown. We had to stop going to her because she was sloppy and eventually we couldn't get ahold of her at all, prompting the switch to my recommendation.
