North Texas Dental Associates: Reviews
Fantastic experience: This office is incredible. The front desk team deserves a special shoutout!! they are warm, welcoming, and extremely efficient. No long waits, no confusion, just smooth and professional service from start to finish. They make what could be a stressful appointment feel easy and comfortable. It’s clear they truly care about their patients. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: I had an all-around great experience here. The staff is so wonderful and friendly. Linsey did a perfect job on my cleaning. It was quick and pain free!
Fantastic experience: Had the best experience here! The office was so clean, the staff was AMAZING, and the play area for the kiddos was such a bonus! Addison was mine and my son’s hygienist and she was wonderful! Very thorough cleaning and was so patients and sweet with my 3 year old son!
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. This was my favorite dentist experience ever. I was amazed at how well they took care of me. I told them I was leaving the country soon, but they didn’t have any openings before then. So they kept me in the loop on cancellations and worked me in. When you arrive, they give you tour of the whole place and then give you a dry erase board with a long list of amenities so you can select what you want to make you more comfortable. Incredible service. Addison, the dental hygienist, was so patient and kind and did an amazing job. Dr. Hillstrom actually took time to get to know me and answer my questions. From the first call to the end of the visit, I felt like a queen. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I can not recommend this office enough! Every staff member is beyond kind, helpful, and explain everything very well. They truly take care of patients. I’m so glad I found this office!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about this dental office. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and they genuinely care about making you feel comfortable. The staff is incredibly welcoming and professional. Tracy and Natalie at the front desk deserve special recognition—they have been amazing and have helped me so much every step of the way during my dental journey. Their kindness, patience, and support really stand out. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for great dental care!
Fantastic experience: A big Thank You to those wonderful ladies handling the front office and especially Danneen Dickerson the office Administrator. The best customer service and Dental Services I have ever received. I highly recommend this Dental office if you care about your oral health you will always leave with a great experience and a smile
Fantastic experience: Prettiest and cleanest dental office! I’ve been going here and now my husband goes too. I recently took my two boys, both middle school age, here and they both had a great experience and said how nice everything was.
Fantastic experience: The dental office is modern, welcoming, and very comfortable. Dr. Hillstrom is highly professional, caring and charming. I always enjoy my visits.
Negative experience: I had yesterday on November 6 , 2025 a very embarrassing and unpleasant experience with the office manager. She never even introduced herself before accusing me of owing them over $1,000 — which was completely incorrect. I immediately tried to explain that I had already paid in November 2024 for my two dental crowns, but she kept repeating that there was no record of any payment. This all happened in front of other patients, which was humiliating and stressful, especially knowing I was right. At one point, I mentioned that I had just paid $5,000 for an upcoming surgery, and her response was, “Oh, congratulations.” I found that comment incredibly insensitive and unprofessional, given the seriousness of my situation. I said is nothing to congratulate me for a mayor back surgery, and she responded oh well my husband has one of those . Eventually, I told her to call me once she had proper documentation showing that I owed anything and left the office. About twenty minutes later, I received a call from Stacy letting me know that it had been a mistake and that I didn’t owe anything after all. The least the manager could have done was to call me herself and apologize for her behavior. Because of this experience, I will never return to this office. No patient should have to deal with that level of disrespect or lack of professionalism.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are truly sorry for the frustration, discomfort, and stress you felt during your recent visit. What you described does not reflect the level of professionalism, respect, or privacy we strive to provide for every patient.
We understand how upsetting billing information can be, especially in a public setting. Your concerns about the interaction, communication, and sensitivity shown during your visit are taken very seriously.
Because we cannot discuss private account details publicly, we would welcome the chance to speak with you directly as some of the details in your review may not quite be accurate. We do expect patients who have received services at our office to account for their balances, and make every effort to ensure we are billing accurately. If at anytime we make a mistake, we will correct it. Please feel free to reach out to us.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We genuinely wish you the very best moving forward.
Fantastic experience: I fell in love in 2015. It was the day before thanksgiving and my tooth was hurting terribly. They were open, professional, prompt and exactly what the Dr ordered. When I tell you that nothing has changed but the address since then??? You gotta check them out. The staff is A1 and guess why?? Cause the providers are too. I love it there!!!
Fantastic experience: So glad I found this place! I am the WORST dental patient due to gagging. The whole office went out of their way to make it as pleasant as possible. Dr Ross did an amazing job on my root canal, extraction/bone graph and cavaties…all in one visit! (Of course I was out with IV sedation though ) HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place for all dental needs.
Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience at North Texas Dental Associates in Plano! From start to finish, Carolise (spell check) was incredibly welcoming and kind… she made me feel completely at ease. Her warmth and attention to detail truly stood out, and she provided exceptional care throughout my visit. Dr. Ross was equally amazing… calm, gentle, and professional. During my extraction, both he and Carolise made sure I was comfortable every step of the way, checking in often and explaining everything clearly. It’s rare to find a dental team that combines skill with genuine compassion, but they absolutely do. I left feeling well cared for and grateful. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: Final Update: I ended up switching to a different dental provider, because there was so much back and forth with VA Community Care stating they faxed authorizations multiple times and North Texas Dental Associates stating they have received nothing and needed to cancel appointments again and again. Personally, not worth all the wasted hold time, which could’ve been spent more productively or having multiple appointments cancelled on short notice. Update: I genuinely appreciate the new office manager. She is grounded and level headed with open dialogue. Conversation is easy and she is willing to do a group calls to speak with the VA Community Care personnel to resolve referral numbers in a cordial manner. The VA can be quirky sometimes, but her working with them to learn and resolve issues is appreciated. Initial: I was leery about seeing a new dentist after 2 decades, but I had a fantastic experience from the get-go with everyone at North Texas Dental Associates. My referral came through the Veterans Administration, specifically, the Dallas VA Dental Clinic, which I had never used prior. The coordinator called right away & sent over proper forms so I could complete them ahead of time online and had me scheduled for an appointment, which was later moved up by a full week. Tracy, who is the coordinator for veterans at the office has been very informative and kept on top of everything from my initial treatment to my ongoing treatment plan, which included two crowns, a root canal and 2 fillings. All was approved by the VA Dental Team and taken care of within 2 weeks of my initial cleaning and consult visit. Tracy submitted with follow-ups and I maintained daily follow-up inquires with the VA in a coordinated team like manner. Dr. Ross is a very pleasant and meticulous man, which I appreciated and felt truly cared for by he and all of his staff members from check-in, to cleaning, to treatment and finally office personnel for all other details. I’m looking forward to my new crowns in approximately three weeks and celebrating with a steak afterwards. I could not be more pleased with my overall experience and fully recommend North Texas Dental Associates to all other Veterans.
Jack,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Reviews like this mean so much to us. We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience with our team. Tracy is so dedicated to taking the best care of our patients and Dr. Ross is very detail oriented making him an incredible doctor. We can't wait for you to enjoy that steak and we can't thank you enough for your kind recommendation. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: This is by far the best dentist office i have ever been to. They are so professional and kindhearted and their customer service is top tier. A great staff!!!!!!
Ebony,
Thank you so much for your kind review! We are thrilled that you had a great visit. Your 5 star review made our day :) Thanks!
Fantastic experience: If I had one piece of advice it is to make NTDA your dental office. After having almost no access to dental care in over 10 years and a bad experience with my last dentist, I was worried about finding an office. To be honest, I am very picky when it comes to dental and healthcare. However, this place absolutely exceeded my expectations. Some of my favorite things about this office were: The staff was SO friendly, The place is absolutely beautiful and clean, There was literally no wait time, The dental hygienist was a sweetie and did a fantastic job, The dentist was just as wonderful, The price was super affordable, AND THEY HAVE MASSAGE CHAIRS! This experience was 10/10 and I have finally found my dental office home! Thanks Kim, Deneen, Dr. Ross, and the rest of the staff for being so good to me.
Madison,
Thank you for making our day! Your review means so much to us so thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are so happy to know that you had a great experience here and loved the team! They really are the best. Thank you again! We look forward to seeing you next time.
Dr. Hillstrom
Positive experience: Kim did a great cleaning and with taking my annual X-rays. Got in timely for my appointment. Office was busy but very organized. Glad to see Dr H briefly. Found an early cavity that will be addressed in a couple of weeks. Office personnel were friendly, prompt and efficient in scheduling and billing activities. 05/06/2025-Dr Hillstrom was great again. Assistant made several miscues. 1) Deaden the wrong tooth. 2) Picked out the wrong color to match my teeth. 3) was not a big deal but seems a bit nervous thus making me a little nervous. 4) Blood pressure read 189/107. Not a correct reading but was not redone.
Charles,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! I am so happy that you enjoyed your time with Kim. She is an amazing part of the team. Thank you for your kind words and feedback. We try to offer an exceptional experience and reviews like yours mean so much to us! **Thanks for the update. We apologize about that last visit. We did have a working interview who was nervous that day. I am so sorry. We will make sure that your experience next time is much better.
Dr. Hillstrom
Negative experience: The roughness from her during my cleaning made me feel pain and discomfort due to the pressure. She didn't make me feel comfortable because she's not gentle.
Dhruvangini,
This is so disheartening to hear and we are so very sorry. We put so much energy and focus into making sure that our patients are comfortable. We will do everything we can to make sure your next visit is comfortable and that you are not scheduled with a temp hygienist but one of our wonderful full time hygienists.
Thank you for letting me know,
Dr. Hillstrom
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best dental practice around!! From their “menus” at the beginning of the appointment to their incredibly kind hygienists to the amazing dentists (we’ve seen both), my whole family loves going to North Texas Dental!
Magen,
Your review made us so happy! I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the little details and our great team! We really do try to go above and beyond for our patients. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate YOU!
Dr. Hillstrom
Fantastic experience: Best dentist I have been to in many years. Very customer focused. They work hard to put you at ease, and unlike most dentists, they don’t scold you or make you feel uncomfortable after you admit that you don’t floss every day! lol. Because most of us don’t.
Thank you so much for the kind 5 star review! Comments like this, really mean the world to us as we genuinely try to put our patients first. I am so happy that you felt that. Thanks again,
Dr. Hillstrom
Fantastic experience: I’ve been here about 6 times and I love it! I see Angela the RDH and she is amazing. Clean facility and good care. Highly recommend.
Hailey,
Thank you so much for your 5 star review! These reviews mean so much to us and we are so happy to hear that you had a great experience with Angela, she is wonderful!
Thank you again,
Dr. Hillstrom
Fantastic experience: NTD is the best office! Great experience all around! Highly recommend them for all your dental needs! Everyone is so nice and helpful!
Aubrey,
We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience at our office. It really means a lot to us and we can't thank you enough.
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love everyone at North Texas Dental. They treat you with kindness are super friendly and have changed my entire look. Highly recommend.
Amy,
We appreciate your kind words and 5 star review! It made our day! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to seeing you again.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ross, office staff, and dental hygienists do an incredible job in providing their clients with the Gold star treatment throughout your care. I would recommend them to my entire family and hope you would do the same.
Jacqueline,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! Your review means the world to us and we are so happy that you had a great experience with our team. Your recommendation to family is the greatest compliment ever.
Thanks,
Dr. Hillstrom and team
Fantastic experience: I needed a new dentist in the area, and was referred to NTDA. The office is warm and welcoming. And the people inside make the experience most of us dread into something as comfortable and easy as possible. And they are very good about explaining everything in very easy to understand terms. I had a great visit!!
Scott,
We are so grateful that you found us and had a great experience with us. Welcome to the dental family!! We try to make everyone feel at home and comfortable and we are so glad that you felt that way. We look forward to serving you and thanks again for the kind words.
Thanks,
Dr. Hillstrom
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at North Texas Dental Associates. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and attentive. The office is clean, modern, and comfortable, which helped ease any nerves I had. Highly recommend. James is a phenomenal dentist!
Heather,
We are so happy to hear that you had a wonderful experience with us. We always strive to provide the best dental care possible and always want our patients to feel right at home. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review- they mean so much!
Dr. Hillstrom
Negative experience: The one thing I dislike about this office is when they quote you pricing they try to scare you into doing work as soon as possible or I’ll end up with more extreme issues. Like I don’t have the common sense to realize it. It’s degrading. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be using them.
Margie,
Let me be the first to apologize about your experience, and am personally so sorry you felt this way. We try to be very intentional about how we train our team, and this is absolutely not in alignment with our patient focused philosophy. We do not want anyone to feel pressured or scared into doing treatment- that is not who we are. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention and will take this experience to our team with improvements as we try to make everyone’s visit a five star experience.
Thanks so much,
Dr. Hillstrom
Fantastic experience: Everyone in the office is very kind and helpful. I had Kim for my hygienist and was very thankful for her! I absolutely hate getting any work on my teeth, but she made everything a breeze and I have no complaints. Insurance through the military is such a struggle and I’m so sorry for them having to deal with that part, but even the amazing woman up front (didn’t get her name unfortunately) was amazing and still worked through those kinks to make sure everything was there! Once I was done with my cleaning I met with Dr. Ross and he walks you through anything else that is needed! Once again, I can’t thank any of you enough for the help today and will not go anywhere else!
Katlynn,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review, they really mean the world to us. Kim is an amazing hygienist and I am so happy to hear that you had a great experience with her, our front office, and Dr. Ross. We are so grateful to have you as a part of the dental family and look forward to seeing you again.
Negative experience: Warning to all VA members sent to this office. Check all consults received from this Dental office. Check with your VA Dentist before getting anything done to your teeth. There were some inconsistencies on treatment from this Dental office. I brought these inconsistencies to their attention and they begin to avoid treating me. I have a great Endodontist and General Dentist that have the same observations and treatment for my teeth. Most of the staff were great. Angela was the Hygienist that cleaned my teeth, she was the best I ever had.
Charles,
We are so sorry to hear that you had some concerns with your visit. I am sad to hear that your experience was not what you had hoped for. We take great pride in doing our very best and putting our patients first. I am happy to hear that you had a great experience with Angela. She is an amazing part of the team! We hope that we can make this right and that you will give us another opportunity.
Thanks,
Dr. Hillstrom
Fantastic experience: Had two crowns done and they were so professional and made sure I was comfortable. Outstanding office
Thank you Sandra! This means so much to us.
Negative experience: This is my second time coming and off to a bad start it got a called that my deep cleaning was approved and then got scheduled to go in, I get there on time and I see no one in the waiting area then there's people walking in 5 min after me and getting called in almost 30 min past my scheduled time I get called and I am being told they are checking if I have my deep cleaning approved waited for them to find out that I wasn't what a waste of my time...
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at North Texas Dental Associates! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and professional. The waiting area was clean and comfortable, and I was seen promptly at my appointment time. Linsey was my hygienist and Dr A was did my exam. They were both fantastic- thorough, gentle, and really took the time to explain everything to me. The whole team made sure I felt at ease, and I loved the tour around the office. If you're looking for a dental office that combines expertise with excellent patient care, I highly recommend North Texas Dental Associates. I'll definitely be coming back!
Thank you Ash! We appreciate you taking the time to share your review. We are so thankful for our amazing team and are so glad you had a wonderful experience with us!
Thanks,
Dr. Hillstrom
Negative experience: Staff was amazing but dentists and lab personel not worth a dime.I have been dealing with them yr and a half went for finals finally yesterday and can't even eat with them .The bite has never been made right .The teeth are horrible not even wide enough for my mouth.i would not recommend you waste your money or valuable time.i had to go back 42 times with broken teeth before finals and i have a baggie full of broken teeth to prove it and they aren't any better so if you want to throw your money out the window dont do it.im being 100 % honest with you
To those reading this we apologize, but this person and her experience is not affiliated with our practice or business. A few of the recent reviews on Google for North Texas Dental Associates are from people not associated with us, and misrepresent who we are. We are working with Google to find out why these negative reviews for other practices are showing up on our review page. Please disregard. Thank you to those who have left us kind reviews as we strive to be a very friendly and welcoming practice to all. The positive reviews you read are truly who we are, and from people who have actually been to our office to see how hard we work to make their experience hopefully the best, and sad these other negative reviews are getting mixed into our reputation, mislabeling what we have worked so hard to achieve.
Sincerely,
Dr. Hillstrom
Fantastic experience: Drs. Ross, Hillstrom, and staff (Today Ismael was such a hospitable and kind assistant!) are the best! Listened to my teeth woes and stories about my life. Even laughed and said I was funny and the staff said I looked great! Well, yeah!! So knowledgeable and patient. Equipment obviously top-notch. You want the best in all areas, go here!
Fantastic experience: What can I say about my experience with North Texas Dental other than WOW!! I was treated as if I have been going to their office for years. I was a new patient and I believe I have found home dentist office. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Angie and Dr. Hillstrom took care of me and made me feel important, as I was the only one in the office and their knowledge was incredible. Their bedside manners were out of this world. Angie even knew my childhood dentist and orthodontic doctor just from the area I was from. Even when there was a insurance hiccup, they still made sure that I was taken care of. I have had some bad experiences in the past with other dental offices, but NTDA showed me that there was still great dental office practices out there. I highly recommend this office. Don't think you would be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Honestly one of the best dental experiences of my life. Kind people, professional environment, and the most comfortable dental chair I’ve ever sat it lol. Angie was my hygienist and she was amazing! Highly recommend this location.
Fantastic experience: I just had my fourth visit at North Texas Dental Associates and their care is next level! Niecy & Gabriella are fantastic dental assistants and Dr. Ross has the most gentle hands! I no longer have anxiety before going to the dentist, because I know I will always be in good hands! 10/10 for service, customer care, communication, cleanliness and reception! From the moment I spoke to them on the phone, to when I first walked through the door…the experience was unparalleled to any other dental appointment I’ve ever had. They took exceptional care of me, especially Ms.Angie, the dental hygienist!! She was so patient with me and worked her special calming magic to help ease my very severe nerves I had. She talked me through each step and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I actually cannot wait to go back and see her in 3 months! She is one of the sweetest souls I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Also, Ms. Tracie and Ms. Tonie were fantastic in every way and were very helpful at answering all of my questions and walking me through the process from start to finish while being so kind the entire time. You can tell that everyone here actually loves their jobs and are so passionate about patient care. Everyone go here!!!
Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience! I have tried several dentist in Plano and this is by far the best. I had Angie as my hygienist and she made it such an enjoyable experience. The dentists were all so friendly and welcoming. They also gave me honest (not money focused) advice on cosmetics which I did not get from prior dentists. The other dentist's I have talked to in the area about cosmetics immediately just offered the most expensive option. I am so glad I got several opinions and landed on this one!!
Fantastic experience: The entire team at North Texas Dental Associates makes the experience so smooth and relaxing. The entire staff is always in such great spirits. My second to last visit I had just received difficult news the day before… Angie, my dental hygienist, made my day just by bringing her kind heart and upbeat personality to my appointment. As long as I live in North Dallas, I will make the drive to NTDA!
Fantastic experience: Very great! Calm atmosphere! Good communication of everything. Love the “comfort menu” (see picture). The small things really do matter. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I'm not typically one to leave reviews for anything but this place was definitely deserving of it. I've always been reluctant to visit dentist offices and I was very long overdue for an exam and cleaning. NTDA was a 5 star experience from beginning to end. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and did everything that could be done to make me feel comfortable. The hygienist Sylvia was excellent at her job and made having a DEEP cleaning as pleasant of an experience as it could be. I can't say enough about this place and everyone there. Would highly recommend.
Positive experience: I went today for the first time for a general checkup. The dental hygienist Sylvia recommended deep cleaning and the treatment coordinator Trent came up with the cost sheet explaining me the full cost for entire procedure including toothbrush, mouthwash, next visit charges and periodontal maintenance for next three months. I accepted the amount but after cleaning left side of my mouth (right side would be cleaned in next session) Sylvia said that they have made a mistake and the amount would be double of what they have presented. So the cleaning that too without any anesthetic use after deducting Dental PPO insurance would cost me more than $550 out of pocket. Had they presented the "correct" amount I would have made the decision accordingly to go or not go for the cleaning. If you are looking for a dental cleaning go elsewhere, its not worth the price. Also, It was communicated to me earlier that to book an appointment, they would need a security deposit of $50 on my credit card that would be adjusted against the charges (due to a previous missed appointment). However, I realized that they had charged $100 on my credit card and did not adjust that amount. I feel cheated and am highly disappointed with them going back on their words. Would not recommend this place. I am now waiting for a call on Monday from their coordinator for grievances redressal. Update: The charges on my credit card was adjusted against the cleaning cost. The final total cost out of pocket for me is over 400. The service was overall good. Revising the rating stars for the overall service.
Fantastic experience: Shout out to my dentistry! They are absolutely amazing! Today was the 1st time IN MY ENTIRE LIFE that x-rays didn't make me cry. (Thank you, Ms. Ava, if I remeber her name correctly) I have manidbular tori and taking those x-rays.... whatever they put in your mouth... they just cut into me. Not here though. I have been seen by both doctors here as well as a fill in and they have all been amazing. Their techs are just exemplar. The desk is so welcoming and they are interested in you (and will listen to my stories without rushing you off, lol) Best dentistry I have ever been to for sure!
Fantastic experience: Just had my 1st visit. The office is very clean and the staff are extremely friendly. I was thoroughly impressed with everything. Angie is amazing, I don't think my teeth have ever been so clean!
Fantastic experience: Angie the dental hygienist gave me the best teeth cleaning I think I have ever had! First time patient and I was very happy with the whole experience!
Fantastic experience: Great patient care. Dr. Hillstrom is the best! I've been taking my entire family to Dr. Hillstrom for years and he is truly caring and extremely competent! We don't even live very close to his office anymore but we make the effort to go to him because he is that good!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Angie was the most conscious and professional dental hygienist I have encountered in a very long time. She went the extra mile to make me comfortable and explain what was going to occur next. I did not feel a thing.
Fantastic experience: I went for an initial visit today. Angie gave me a tour and introduced me to other staff and did a great job cleaning my teeth. Dr Hillstrom assessed my situation and gave me options re fillings or crowns. I’m going back to have the crowns completed within a month.
Fantastic experience: Best dentist EVER. Dr. Hillstrom and staff are amazing. I am a nervous patient when it comes to procedures, and they are wonderful. Every detail— from blankets, to Netflix, to foam neck pillows— this place takes care of its patients. Can’t recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: North Texas Dental is truly the Ritz-Carlton of dental practices. Everyone was cheerful and glad to see me. My appointment started with my hygienist, Angie, greeting me and giving me a tour of the facilities. Every person waved and said hello. The cleaning and xray process was incredibly thorough, and Dr. Ross was professional and explanatory (and nicely humorous). The practice is state of the art and almost seems luxurious. And I'm really pleased with the annual treatment plan that comes with a discount on other needed services. I've already booked an appointment for my husband!
Fantastic experience: Let me start off and say that I’m scared of dentists due to some unfortunate experiences I’ve had long time ago. Over 10 years ago I went to this office and spoke with Dr. Hillstrom who has gone above and beyond ever since then to make sure I feel comfortable with everything. This morning Dr. Hillstrom did root canal on one of my teeth and besides jaw discomfort due to having my mouth open for about 90 minutes I haven’t felt anything else. No pain whatsoever. His assistant Faith was very attentive and had excellent bedside manner. Their office is always clean and staff is top notch. Considering high quality work they do I think their prices are great. I would highly recommend Dr. Hillstrom and North Texas Dental Associates to anyone in need of dentist.
Fantastic experience: Dr Hillstrom and staff are exceptionally friendly, professional and welcoming. Been going to them for 7 years and couldn't trust anyone else with me and families teeth.
Fantastic experience: This practice is elegant yet reasonably priced. Their tools are state of the art. The doctor and staff are exceptional. I had to have more work done than I had anticipated but they made me comfortable and did an outstanding job.
Fantastic experience: I appreciate so much that North Texas Dental Associates was able to work me in quickly when my crown cracked. Their staff are so nice. They gave me helpful tips on caring for my temporary crown. They made sure I was comfortable throughout the process.
Negative experience: I had a tooth break around at the end of May, 2023, so I called NTDA to set up an appointment. The appointment they made was for a general teeth cleaning, including X-Rays. I was told what was recommended and what the plan will be. I could not afford the root canal and crown and was plain about it. I knew it was the high dollar plan or to have it pulled. My budget was the ‘pull it’ plan. The tooth was finally pulled July 31, 2023 with the crown still being pushed. I have some small cavities that need work, but, again, lack of money. Today I get a call saying I need to schedule time to have a crown on another tooth. This was news to me. I was not given ‘post-op’ instructions, nor was I contacted asking my condition. Everyone I met is very nice, but the new ‘plan’ feels like a shake-down. I received a very nice apology from the practice on 8-15-23. It was appreciated.
Fantastic experience: The staff is great, very friendly all around…front desk, hygiene staff, dentist. The building is a nice setup…Nice waiting room, nice exam rooms. The extra touch is offering snacks and things to make the exam comfortable. Finally, I appreciate that they do not push a bunch of extra dental work just so they can get the money.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at North Texas Dental Associates is great. Dr. Hillstrom makes you feel welcome and his staff is great. Fortunately I haven’t needed anything more than cleanings, but they make that a breeze. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I have a huge dental anxiety and have procrastinated this visit for way longer than I should have. I had the best dental hygienist (not sure how to spell her name) she was top tier. Dr Hillstrom was great too. 10/10 experience and I was comfortable the entire time.
Fantastic experience: I needed to get into a dentist ASAP and they were so accommodating they were able to see me in the same day! Now I’m on the way to having my issue addressed. The staff are so nice and Dr. Ross was great at explaining what my next steps are. 5/5 stars!
Fantastic experience: My experience was amazing. From the introductory tour of the facility, to the chair side manner of the RDH DINH. I've never felt more confident about saving the life of my teeth. I really feel like I found me a new home. Thank you!
Negative experience: I have posted a review three times and they have deleted my review all three times. Dr. Ross was my doctor and he did not tell me for a year about all my issues that were going on. He infact took a call and prioritize the issues on my behalf without discussing with me and kept pushing the crown for a year on me instead of telling me that my other teeth need medical attention. I have reported there malpractice to medical board and found myself a better better who discuss my plans with me and doesn’t treat me like I am a child who can’t take control of her health. Worst was dr Ross gaslighting me by telling me that he remembers what he told me a year ago, okay sure you remember what you tell every patient in 2-5 mins you spend in them
Fantastic experience: I had a great first experience here. The hygienist and dentist I interacted with both had great bedside manner. The facility is bright and cozy and they have thought of just about everything they can offer patients to make us comfortable during the visit. I recently moved to TX and I’m glad I found this dental group!
Fantastic experience: Dr Hillstrom is a delight...and a wonderful Dentist. Absolutely the best bedside manner for a Doctor I have ever experienced. A jewell! The office staff is also top-notch. Everything from the introduction to the office (beautiful atmosphere), the boutique services (thats my first experience of being a queen), to fee explanations and insurance options. Outstanding! My experience with Jeannette, the hygenioust, was awesome.. what a sweet soul she is. 100% satisfied from start to finish.. I felt like singing and dancing when I left, but feared after they experienced such reaction they would call the luney wagon to fetch me.. In all seriousness, I highly recommend NTDA... Thank you all for a great experience. Judy
Positive experience: The care and compassion from the doctor and hygienist was fabulous. Truly. Only complaint as of yet is there was an error in getting me my antibiotics. I was supposed to have my prescription called in but did not happen. I have gone all weekend and two days with an abscessing broken tooth with no help. Calling and driving to various local pharmacies all weekend to find out where it was called in proved to be of no help. Called in today on Monday to hear from them that they gave me a handwritten script when actually they did not. Only a receipt and care plan estimate. So...cool. What's another day I guess. But thank you for the new patient key chain and necklace. I'm sure it will get corrected but today pain and irritability won. Tomorrow will be better.
Fantastic experience: Best experience I have had at the dentist office. My comfort was their top priority. And for the first time in a long time, I actually got good news at the dentist! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The best dental team I've been to, by far! Dental visits bring me a lot of anxiety, the great people at NTDA go above and beyond to make sure I'm as comfortable as can be. I wish I found them sooner!
Fantastic experience: By far the best dental care and experience I’ve had. The entire staff’s professionalism, attention to detail, and proficiency in their skills far exceeded my expectations. Definitely going to be the only dentist I go to from now on.
Fantastic experience: This was overall the best experience I’ve had at the dentist! They made me feel comfortable, they were easy to communicate with, and the scheduling process was a breeze. Everyone was friendly and I look forward to returning for my next visit.
Fantastic experience: I came to this office as a new patient, looking for a second opinion on dental work that my current dentist wanted to perform. This place was very welcoming and informative. I was treated like family. Ismael Zamora went above and beyond to make me comfortable. Will definitely be returning!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ross is the most empathetic and patient dentist I have ever used. He genuinely cares about every aspect of his patients and does amazing work. The front office staff is the greatest! Give a shout out to Tracy in the front office for going above and beyond to make sure everything was in order throughout my treatment plan.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Hillstrom, Dr. Ross & Team, Words cannot describe the level of excellence I experience at every visit! Dr. Hillstrom & Dr. Ross have my loyalty, trust and respect for many years to come. The personal care, expertise and professionalism far surpasses my expectations at North Texas Dental Associates. A very special thanks and appreciation to my wonderful Hygienist, Suzette, who has given me the best hygiene and personal care I have ever have had! Your team is all about "personal care" at the highest level! *******7 Stars!
Fantastic experience: One of the best dental experiences I have ever had. The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming and I felt right at home. Their facility is beautiful and they even had an entire room for children to play if needed. I’m looking forward to coming back to this dentist!
Fantastic experience: Compared to dental services I’ve used in the last 22 years , this dental office is very friendly, courteous to the needs and extras to make the visit as pleasant as possible. And they make your teeth look pretty great too!!
Fantastic experience: The gentleman who did my cleaning because Sylvia (who is fantastic) was unavailable, did an excellent job and I was very pleased. Dr Hillstrom and his entire office is very friendly and professional. Special thanks to Tracey for all her help.
Fantastic experience: Have been coming here for a few years, great location, friendly staff. Silvia is my favorite person in the office and always glad to schedule with her. It was great meeting Dr Ross.
Fantastic experience: This has been one the absolute best dental experiences that I have ever had. While the spa type feel, very friendly staff (Ismael and Brooke DEFINITELY make it a memorable experience!), fantastic two steppin country music and up to date equipment play an important role, Dr Ross is the #1 reason that I can give this review a five star rating. I have never felt so comfortable with dental work as I have coming to see Dr Ross. His bedside manner, constant concern for my comfort during every single procedure, understanding nature and communication about each dental procedure, makes NTX Dental Associates a top tier experience. This is an all encompassing practice and wish that all facilities could take some pointers from NTX Dental Associates
Fantastic experience: Suzette the dental hygienist was very through and educated me on the best way to floss. Dr. Hillstrom checked my mouth as part of my follow up visit and spent time speaking to me about teeth whitening options. I have sensitivity and he took the time to listen to my concerns. I really am glad we changed to this dental practice. The entire office is very professional.
Fantastic experience: This is Tyra Williams by the way…lol Today was my first time visiting this office. From the time I walked in the door till the time I left the staff was beyond Amazing. The young lady who brought me back was amazing! The doctor was cute too!! The doctor was amazing. This staff really cares about the patients and it shows. I am so happy I ran across this dentist office!! Y’all are absolutely amazing!!
Fantastic experience: My son had a filling from another place that had come out. They got us right in to fix his sensitive tooth the same day. They made sure he was very comfortable. They had headphones so he could listen to his favorite netflix show and was able to watch it on the tv on the ceiling to distract him from the sounds of the dental tools. Dr Ross is amazing and so calm and encouraging with my kids. My husband has also seen him for my husband and he had many ideas to help with his situation and got his teeth looking so nice for our sons wedding. Dr Hillstrom and Dr Ross are very impressive and care so much for our families dental needs. The front desk were also so kind and helpful with explaining fees for service ahead of time.
Fantastic experience: The entire staff was super friendly. They went out of their way to introduce everyone, and give a tour of the office, which was v an amazing first impression. The dentist and hygienist explained everything along the way. All of the staff also tried to make my visit as comfortable as possible. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ross is sensational! Great (dental) chair side manners. Always asking if I’m okay during a visit (numerous times throughout a visit or procedure). His staff is always friendly and greet you by your name with a smile. I’ve been a client of NTDA since I moved to the Plano TX area and highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: All staff are pleasant and helpful. Prices are reasonable. They explain suggested work and do not try to promote unneeded procedures. We use their in-house dental insurance and have been pleased with the value.
Fantastic experience: They did such a great job! There was an issue with scheduling and they got me in the day of. CiCi who works the front desk is such a welcoming face and creates such a welcoming environment. Always o friendly and they make sure you are very comfortable during the whole proccess.
Fantastic experience: A good place to have dental services provided. The dental hygienist is very thorough, and you leave knowing that your teeth look whiter, and your mouth feels cleaner,. The place is clean, and the staff seem to have caring attitudes. It is a better experience from many other dental providers. I MISS YOU!!!! I moved too far away. I changed my Review from 4 Stars to 5 Stars because I realize just how much of an asset to the dental practice you all are!!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful facility, friendly and thorough staff, easy and pain free cleaning! Will definitely be back! The new client gift is a sweet surprise and very nice touch.
Fantastic experience: The excellent team at North Texas dental just got me through alot of dental issues due to my teeth grinding. The team makes sure that you are comfortable and not in pain. They are also extremely friendly. This is an easy recommendation.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Hillstrom and Mandy, the hygienist, were very professional and conscientious. The staff was friendly, courteous, and helpful. I would definitely recommend North Texas Dental Associates.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience as always! Dr. Ross, Suzette and the team of highly trained hygienists are always thorough and take the time to not only perform a great cleaning but a complete oral exam. I routinely am advised of advances in oral care and feel that I am entrusting my health to true professionals. Something I appreciate as healthy teeth & gums can help ensure a healthy body. The office staff is always bright, attentive and courteous and I’ve never experienced or had to endure a long waiting room experience prior to my appointment.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful! I have been 6 times for cleaning and have had great experiences each time. The care by both the doctors and hygienists is superb. In my consulting work, I frequently reference their office when referring to professional offices who exhibit service excellence. I refer all my friends and associates looking for a fantastic dental team. Had a filling repaired and Dr. Hillstrom went the extra mile and took time to make it perfect. When the numbing wore off I didn’t have any sensitivity afterwards. So grateful!
Negative experience: I've been coming here since I moved to the area and I love both dentists, the hygienists and most of the office staff. After my cleaning, I went to pay my bill and discuss the next thing I needed to have done. Dr. Hillstrom did not pressure me to come back he said it was up to me. When I went to pay the biller, Tracy was extremely pushy and wanted to make my appointment as soon as possible. My next dental appointment is expensive, even after insurance and I cannot afford to pay anything right now. And of course the bill was a different amount than what was quoted last time and she made me sign the treatment plan. Money is VERY tight so I told her I can't afford to make an appointment. She said well all we ask for is 50%. Um I can't afford that either. I gave her a month that I MIGHT be able to afford it, days of the week I'm off work and she assumed the day SHE chose for me was good. She hands me the card and asks for the 50%. I can't afford it like I told her a few times. She said well I will call you tomorrow for the card number. Um no. I will cancel for now and just make the appointment for when I can afford it. If it wasn't for the dentists and the rest of the staff I would change offices. I left the office thinking does she work on commission, does she get a bonus. I'm disappointed. Not sure if the office reads the reviews but I can't be the only one living paycheck to paycheck.
Fantastic experience: After 45 years of going to the same dentist he decided to finally retire this past year. I received a postcard advertising North Texas Dental Associates and I decided to schedule a meeting to see the practice. Upon arriving I was greeted by the sweetest office coordinator who gave us a tour of the office. The office was immaculate with all state of the art equipment. I scheduled an appointment for my cleaning and initial visit which was done today. I loved how thorough the hygienist was and Dr. Ross, one of the dentists, was incredibly nice and made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend this practice! If there was another star to give it I would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to NTDA for a few years and the service has always been professional and consistently comfortable. Today’s visit with Suzette was great. She explained everything she was doing and explained any area of concern. Dr. Hillstrom is very pleasant and complimentary of my dental hygiene! LOL
Fantastic experience: North Texas Dental provided an excellent experience. After having had a previous experience that was not ideal and the fact that I have LOTS of anxiety about going to the dentist. After the very first visit, I have become an advocate. Dr. Hillstrom and his staff (Cece and Devonte) are so caring and thoughtful. They went above and beyond to make my first visit comfortable and they took great care and pride to ensure I was well taken care of before and after my visit. By far the best dental experience I’ve ever had in a long time! . Highly recommended North Texas Dental Associates and Dr. Hillstrom and his team!
Negative experience: Billing department will say they will correct issues and admit that you do not owe anything but then continue to bill you several months later with no itemization just amount due. I went to NTDA in 2021 in May I had teeth whitening done and filings in April 2021. I paid the amount due at the time of service. I received incorrect bills 4 times and I called billing department 3 times and all 3 times they said it would be resolved but they now sent me a 4th bill in March of 2022. They do not provide an email to correspond with so no written communication trail available. I would like to get this bill resolved with confirmation in writing from NTDA. Otherwise clean and friendly place but have went to another dentist due to billing issue.
Fantastic experience: The staff, hygienist were very friendly and helpful. They explained things clearly and answered my questions. The hygienist cleaned my teeth very well without pain. Dr Hailstrom does not pressure one into having any procedure done. He suggested that I try things that would help my sensitivity before trying to explore more drastic, expensive measures. I highly recommend this dentist!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Hillstrom is literally the best dentist I've ever had and I have had a lot of dental work done through the years. I highly recommend him and his office. His staff is pleasant, professional and always helpful. Great choice for a dentist!
Fantastic experience: As usual the quality of service was excellent. Everyone was helpful and the cleaning session went great. Dr. Rast checked my teeth and gave me good advice about one tooth that needs a crown.
Fantastic experience: My kids and I went in for cleanings today. The hygienists were fantastic and the environment is very welcoming and cozy - yes a cozy dentist office! The front staff was so helpful with questions we had - Da'Vonte and Tracy went above and beyond to help us set something up for Wisdom Teeth removal for my teenage son. Really, I couldn't have been more grateful for their help. We felt very cared for!
Fantastic experience: Dr Ross and Joyce did a great job! They are the best! Everyone at the office is professional, understanding and patience! I like going there. Dan cleaned my teeth today. He did a great job and was very Patient with me!
Fantastic experience: The entire staff is amazing! They are so friendly, professional, and the nicest people. I’ve never had to wait for my appointment. I’m happy to have found a place that doesn’t make me hate going to the dentist. I definitely recommend!
