I definitely had a "WTF" moment when I passed this while driving down to Silver Dollar City.

Also, how does it have so many Google reviews?? It has almost as many reviews as Dickerson Park Zoo, more than Nathanael Greene, about twice as many as Hammons Field or Nakato, and over 3,600 more reviews than my dentist. Is there a water slide in there or something??? Should I have spent the day here instead of driving down to SDC?

Whoa and not a single review that is not a 5. That seems really unlikely probability wise.

I can vouch for the place. I’d give it 5 stars. First off, clearly, the place is unique. It’s really elegant and modern looking. The people in there were really nice. (I can’t speak to the owner and his whole prayer thing according to another commenter). But they also have a drink bar where they offer to make you smoothies, lattes, coffees, and even baked goods. The furnishing is ridiculous for a dental office. Each room has a giant ass TV that you can look up at while they work on your mouth. Hospitality is wonderful, everyone is friendly and asks you if you’d like a drink. If you get a coffee, you get a free mug. Comparatively, for someone with no dental insurance, they’re actually competitively priced. I had to get a deep cleaning done and when they told me the price, I told them I’d think on it, and called a few other places. The other places told me the wait, and the price, and needing new X-rays (fuck that) would be just about as much money. So I went with them.

Here’s the selling point for me though. During that deep cleaning, I refused the numbing agent that they inject into your gums, because fuck needles in the gums, and they actually cut some of the price off. Not only that, but because the hygienist went faster than she expected, she cut a bit more of the cost off the procedure. YMMV but without me even asking for it, a deep cleaning that cost me around $3k cut down to closer to $2.5k. I’m going back for my routine cleaning in February. Not a shill but I can vouch for the place being rated 5 stars.

$2500 for a cleaning? That sound ridiculous to me.

A deep cleaning. I don’t floss consistently and they have to dig under my gums to remove plaque that builds up and hardens over time. But yeah, tell me about it. The pain of it and the price are a double whammy.

I think that’s Innovative Dental- I promise they take down bad ratings- they did with mine. NEVER go there.

I’d bet $50 they buy fake reviews.

Businesses can’t remove Google reviews without substantial proof that the review is fake or goes against a Google review rule.

They give everyone a free coffee or smoothie after their visit. They have a whole menu of options.

It's a very nice office. The people are all nice. I'm not into all the Jesus shit, but they are good to their patients. The only religious stuff you deal with while there is the music.

Innovative Dental? They give free Starbucks style coffee but do unneed work and screw up fillings. Wouldn’t recommend them no matter how nice the staff is.

They say, while you're in the chair, give us a 5 star review right now and we'll give you this cool mug. Everybody likes mugs.

At my last cleaning, before I was even out of the chair, the hygienist pulls out a QR code and asked if I’d be willing to leave a review.

I got invisalign from that practice before moving away, like 7 years ago, and it was practically free with all the promos they had PLUS I got a free iPad out of the deal. I still question it to this day lol
