Abundant Dental Care of Sugar House

I had a wonderful experience at Sugar House Dental Care. I have already referred them to many friends. I've always hated going to the dentist having bad experiences and I can say I left their office feeling so pleased and impressed with their staff. Dr. Allen text me hours after my visit checking in with me and my hygienist Willi text me weeks later also checking in.
I was nervous going to the dentist and they calmed my nerves quickly making me feel understood. They explained everything to me, they were very kind, and answered all of my questions.
If you are in search of a dentist I would suggest this one. You won't regret it, I definitely don't.

Place is awesome but I did have a problem with one of the Dentist's. I was referred over by the Sandy Abundant Clinic. The Dentist that looked at my teeth asked me if I brushed my teeth that morning. Also the hygienist started laughing. I was caught off guard I said yes I brushed my teeth. The Dentist than said you do have plaque on your teeth. Then a little bit later in the appointment he turns to me and says you need to brush your teeth better, than he grabs one of his instruments and scarps some off my teeth and says look that's 100% plaque. I said okay. I have been going to the Sandy office for years actually since Dr. Kwant started his practice as Apex Dental. Never have I ever had a dentist ask me if I brush my teeth every morning. My teeth may not be perfect but as a professional he should learn to phrase the question differently. Also I had just had breakfast on my way in, the plaque he was referring to might have been cause of the food I had.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Dr. Bautista is an absolute expert and takes care of me so well. I have struggled so much to find a dentist that I trust and that knows how to care for my personal teeth. I love the staff here, they are so helpful. I am so grateful to Abundant Sugar House for their continued service and care. Again, Dr. Bautista is the best dentist I have ever received care from and I mean that whole heartedly. I recommend them to everyone!!

Leaving one star because the receptionists were very nice and because you can’t leave zero stars. If you go here for a cleaning you’ll probably be fine but if they tell you that you need to get work done, fillings etc., I recommend getting a second opinion. My daughter went to this office because it’s close to her school but she’s still on my insurance and I had to deal with all the visits with her which is why I’m leaving the review. Before I get into it I’ll mention that my daughter went through a rough period where taking care of herself was a struggle and that included taking care of her teeth. Thankfully we’re past that but it means she has to deal with some consequences and that includes issues with her teeth.

On her visit to Abundant, the dentist helping her that day advised that she needed 10 fillings and a root canal. The plan was to have her come in and get 5 fillings and the root canal on one visit and then finish the remaining 5 fillings when she comes in to get her permanent crown. I’m really kicking myself for not taking her to another dentist to get a second opinion.

Visit 1: The first 5 fillings are done. During the root canal the dentist, not the same as the previous dentist, determines that a specialist needs to complete her root canal because her root system is complicated so they refer my daughter to a specialist. They pack up her tooth and send her home. 3 hour+ visit

Visit 2: The specialist gets in to finish the root canal and informs my daughter that the dentist at Abundant broke a tool off in her root area. My daughter had no idea as the Abundant dentist didn’t say anything to her (!!). The broken bit of tool is lodged in there and the specialist can’t get it out so they work around it and it’s now cemented in her root area.

Visit 3: My daughter is under the impression that she’s getting her remaining fillings and the permanent crown done. After about 90 minutes she leaves the dentist in tears because she has no idea what they’ve done but she knows they didn’t do any fillings or put in the crown. Her mouth is numb and sore and at that point I’m done. We go back to the dentist so they can explain to both of us what they just spent the last 90 minutes doing. We’re told they were prepping the tooth that had the root canal for the permanent crown. Ok, whatever.

Visit 4: We’re told the appointment should take about 90 minutes to finish the 5 remaining fillings and put in the permanent crown. Over THREE HOURS later my daughter comes out. They tell her the cavities turned out to be much bigger than previously thought. What?! The permanent crown was the wrong size so they had to make a new one there on site.

The fillings are not smooth and are making her teeth feel uneven. My daughter is finding herself grinding her teeth throughout the day because of the uneven feeling. She also has a filling that seems to be cutting into her cheek. This time around we’re doing what we should have done after the initial visit and going to a different dentist to get the fillings looked at.

I’ve had a few fillings and root canals done over the years and I have never gone through the nonsense that my daughter was put through at this place. There seems to be some massive incompetence. This whole experience has been a joke. Abundant Dental will not be getting any more business from us.

I've been concerned about my teeth for years. I was relieved to find a dentist that took time to listen to my fears, answer each question and educate me along the way. In the end, I decided to proceed with 9 crowns and Ortho work. I finally have hope for my teeth and a game plan moving forward. With the education and excellent work provided by Dr. Clifford I now have peace-of-mind, knowing my teeth can last for many years.

With the extensive work I needed It was refreshing to have a dentist open early, after work and on weekends (I have had to take advantage of all these time slots). It's refreshing to know I don't have to take vacation time off for my dental work.

This was uniquely important to me because as a kid I remember thinking it was strange my dentist only worked 4 days a week. I've come to realize that many dentists go into dentistry for their family schedule, not for the people they serve. This isn't a knock on them, they put tons of time in for school and I'd love to have a 4 day work week too, but it's pretty awesome that there are dentists that figured out a way to put my needs first, with hours that fit my schedule.

Finally (as you can tell, I'm nuts about this place), I've seen it all with the issues I've had over the years. I even had a dentist reach into my mouth without a glove once. :( So, this time I looked for an office with top-notch equipment and technology and I was not disappointed.

I recommend this office to anyone that needs extensive dental work. Thanks Dr. Clifford and thanks to everyone that has made this process so easy and comfortable.

Don't go. They spend the entire time pressuring you into added work you don't need. And when you leave all that is accomplished is your insurance is billed. I am making an appointment tomorrow for a real dentist. I hope you go out of business because you practice is dishonest and you pray on people who don't know any better. It is scams, like your establishment that have destroyed affordable health insurance in this country. I hope that in the near future your insurance scam of a business is shut down and an honest business is in that space. Please if you are looking for a dentist keep looking.

I really don't like dentists, haven't gone in three years. A filling fell out and I knew I had to get it corrected. I'm so glad I found this place, first time I've ever enjoyed my experience at a dental office. Great staff, great dentists, amazing price!

The clinic is very clean and nice. The staff have been very friendly and welcoming either on the phone or in person. I had a very large abscess that was quickly taken care of just a few days after the initial x-ray. Dr. Allen did such a good job that even secondary symptoms that I had for numerous months disappeared just hours after the root canal. Definitely recommend for routine or specialty care.

Everyone was friendly and professional. They took good care of me and explained every process and proved great options along the way. It was the best dental experience I've had and look forward to more with them.

Everyone from the office assistants, through two dentists that worked with me were all the best that I've ever encountered. They took what was an initially VERY stressful situation and made it very easy to handle. The office is beautiful and state-of-the-art, and I can not recommend them all highly enough!
