Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review!
Negative experience: I had a great in-office experience here with my two young daughters. My issue is that, upon Check-in, I was informed that I needed to pay up-front as I was out-of-network with my Insurance. That wasn’t how it had appeared to me when I scheduled. I double-checked with the sweet employee, and she Assured Me that I would receive a check from Insurance reimbursement check after they filed the claim on my behalf. I received one third of the amount I had paid. They refused to issue a partial refund of the nearly $1,000 I paid, even though they had led me to trust that I would get it all back. Very disappointing. Lesson learned. Don’t go here unless you know it’s in network.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re very glad to hear your in-office experience with our team and your daughters was a positive one.
We completely understand your frustration, and situations like this are actually one of the reasons we made the difficult decision to move out of network with Delta Dental. Our team provided you with the same information Delta provided to us. Unfortunately, when Delta stated they would pay “100%,” they failed to explain that they were referring to 100% of Delta’s own fee schedule — not 100% of the actual office fees charged — leaving patients responsible for the remaining balance.
Sadly, situations like this are a large part of why more and more healthcare providers are choosing to leave Delta networks. We certainly never intended to mislead you, and we understand how disappointing and frustrating this situation can be. We do hope you will express your frustrations to Delta as well, as clearer communication from insurance companies regarding out-of-network coverage would help prevent situations like this for many families. We have also noted this on your specific plan in an effort to help prevent this from surprising other patients with the same coverage in the future.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Boren and his team were amazing. Our 7 yr old had only been to the dentist 1 time prior to seeing Dr. Boren. He and his staff took all the apprehension from my son. He actually asked when he could come back. Great job, A+!
We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us! Thank you for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: Very nice people and no long waiting.
Fantastic experience: It is an attractive place for children, and it has highly qualified staff. We are very pleased with their services.
Fantastic experience: Dr boren is amazing does a great job and my kids love them all. He did an amazing job yesterday with my lil one and the anesthesiologist at Baylor Scott in tyler thank you and to there wonderful nurses as well . I give dentistry for children dr.boren and his team 10 stars and to the Baylor Scott on goldenroad there team of nurses and anesthesiologist were the best they deserve 10 stars as well thank you all.
Fantastic experience: First appointment here for my son today. He has been dreading his next dentist appointment after his last appointment in May at another dentist office, so we had put it off for a few months. I actually had him an appointment set at another place today and after coming across dentistry for children I called to cancel the other appointment then called here & was able to get him in same day. Honestly just the look on his face when we walked in and he saw how cool it looked was more than worth the drive from Henderson to Tyler. He could not believe it was really the dentist building After the fact of having the coolest waiting room ever, all the staff members from the front desk to everyone in the back even the lady that checked us out were all so kind to myself and my son. He is a little chatter box and they just let him talk away lol He also received two tokens to get a prize on the way out for doing a good job. He already can’t wait for his next appointment. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Everyone is always so kind from the front desk to the Dr to the assistants! I love that theres a playground for my kids to burn some energy off before their appointment it really helps them to listen better to the dentist! I also love the treasure chest idea, my son thoroughly enjoyed his visit!!
Fantastic experience: We love our dentist. Everybody is awesome
Positive experience: All 3 kids been going here since infant. We all like it and always had good patient care. Lengthy wait time but kids don't mind since they get to play in lobby. Good follow up care too.. any special request/report for school. No problem for them to do.
Positive experience: The dentist who cleaned my child's teeth before was very responsible and thorough. This time, the dentist was very kind.
Fantastic experience: Everyone was very nice and helpful and explaining what they were going to do and the young lady that was cleaning my son’s teeth is so wonderful explaining every step to my son that is slightly autistic Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: First time today!! My son absolutely loved it!!! He rushed home to brush his teeth and floss to show his dentist how good he did!! Wish I found this place sooner!! 10/10 would definitely recommend!! Thank yall for all you guys do!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Ming did a great job getting my tooth fixed and they got me in quick.
Fantastic experience: All of the staff are so friendly and they treat my children with care
Fantastic experience: I love how professional yet treat your babies like their own. They make you very comfortable and they are knowledgeable to any and every question you have! Best by far!
Fantastic experience: I'm leaving a 5 star review! Dr boren absolutely fantastic with my child and others .very professional and the staff is great. I highly recommend Dr Boren
We're so glad you enjoyed our team's friendly service! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
Fantastic experience: Taking your little one to the dentist can be stressful but this is such a fun & professional atmosphere. The waiting space lets it be known this is a place kids can be comfortable being kids. Staff is nice & friendly. We had a great experience here.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Rebekah! We're so happy you enjoyed your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback!
Fantastic experience: Fast and friendly people
Fantastic experience: My son and I love dentistry for children! He's had some bad experiences with dentist in the past but ever since we started with dentistry for children he gets excited for his visits. The staff is always super nice, understanding, and gentle with him. I'm so grateful!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback. We're so happy you enjoyed your experience!
Fantastic experience: I LOVE this place! We have had several visits in the past month as new patients - the staff is very kind and helpful at explaining how to make the most out of the experience. They offered assistance regarding insurance and referrals for specialists. They took great care of my son! Dr. Boren & Dr. Truong are very professional and thorough. I appreciate all of the support and guidance that I’ve received. They have a huge playground area in the waiting room and you get a prize with each visit - my son always looks forward to his visits. They provide a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. 5/5 stars! I definitely recommend this place 1000000x more than the last 2 dentists offices we have been to.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Your kind words mean a lot to our team!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Boren and all of his associates and staff are outstanding. In addition to our own kids, we have foster children. We have been coming here for around 20 years at this point. The fosters are often afraid, but quickly settle in because of the staff's relaxed and friendly approach. We have had no issues with Medicaid, as they work seamlessly to provide what our kiddos need.
We're so glad you enjoyed our team's friendly service! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
Fantastic experience: My grandson has been going here since he was a toddler...The staff is super caring and he loves going here
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. It’s wonderful to hear that you had a great experience!
Fantastic experience: They had great service when I took my son he liked it there but I'm still waiting on his next appointment to be made for him to get caps put on
Fantastic experience: We always have the best care at Dentistry For Children. All staff are kind, patient and compassionate with their patients and families. Thank you!
Negative experience: Poor patient care, lack of communication ,Never allow Culbersonson R Boren treat you children very rude. Waited over an hour for Consolation appointment Ask the representative at the front desk is how long would it take for the consult was told I could leave ,she would call to schedule my child’s appointment over the phone. A month later, I emailed them with paperwork to be filled out for my child’s childcare only for Dr. Borden to put some BS on my child’s paperwork
Fantastic experience: very gentle and welcoming ppl/environment.my baby even got a toy duck!
Fantastic experience: Great in environment super friendly
Fantastic experience: Been bringing my kids to this dentist office for over 8 years. They are fantastic with kids. I have never had issues on any of my appointments. Very friendly and caring staff and Dr.
Fantastic experience: They have seen two generations of my family including myself and I love this office!
Negative experience: I’ve been bringing my kids to this dental office for over 8 years, and sadly the quality of service—especially from the front office staff—has gone way downhill over the past year. I’m constantly being quoted different prices for the same scheduled services. I’ve had to call my **insurance myself** just to get accurate estimates. Even after paying in full at the time of the visit, they’ve tried to tell me I still owe more money. It’s confusing, frustrating, and completely unprofessional. Appointments are another issue. I’ve watched them take patients with later appointments ahead of others who’ve been waiting. It feels chaotic and disorganized. To top it off, I called the **office manager** last week to get clarification on a charge—never got a call back. For a family that’s been loyal to this practice for nearly a decade, this level of customer service is incredibly disappointing. I’m sad to say we’ll be looking for a new dentist.
Negative experience: The dentist will tell you, your child can only eat grilled meat and veggies. Dessert should only be fruit that ends in berries. Can only drink water. Not even sports drinks unless you want sugar free stuff ( no cavities, but cancer instead). When honestly majority of teeth issues are genetics. Also, don't even make an appointment for 2pm. They tell you to arrive 15 mins early but keep doors locked for lunch until 2pm. Earliest appointment they should be allowed to make is 2:15.
Fantastic experience: Both of my children had a dental appointment yesterday as new patients here. My autistic son seemed a lot more relaxed than I’ve seen him previously. It was a more “kid friendly” dentist so they were very accommodating. The dentist met my child where they were and didn’t push too hard. My other child has anxiety when it comes to the dentist yet, after this visit, they are also excited to return!
Thank you for the fantastic review, Ashli! We’re glad that you enjoyed your visit!
Fantastic experience: They need a candle something to give the Doctor Office A Better Smell
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and work!!
Fantastic experience: I have been taking my daughter here since she was 1 and she has loved every appointment! She is almost 4 now and does great when they take xrays and clean her teeth. Dr. Ming and Dr. Boren are amazing, thank y’all!
We love to hear that! Thank you, Riley!!

Fantastic experience: Dentist and playground fun.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff. Children are excited to be here. Patient and understanding dental specialist.
Fantastic experience: The office staff were awesome The dental staff are great with the kids
Fantastic experience: Just love Denistry for Children. My oldest was a patient for years, and he agreed out. Dr Boren, and Dr Ming are the best. Now my baby is a patient. He started coming since he was 6 months old.
Positive experience: We were scheduled for 9/11 they overbooked and rescheduled us for 9/24 told me my 5 year old couldn't have anything to eat or drink after 11pm, scheduled him for 11:30am and didn't start surgery until 1:30pm. We then found out they scheduled an autistic 5 year old LAST for the day who always has a cup close by. Aside from that they were kind and did take care of our son while he was in surgery.
Fantastic experience: The staff is the absolute best bar none, from the front desk staff to Dentists. Amazing experience each and every time. They always make my daughter feel at ease.
Fantastic experience: Always a great service
Fantastic experience: I took my daughter there when she was 3 years old. She is now 23 and bringing her 3yr. old son to you. What more can I say about your professionalism.
Negative experience: The people in the back are great and work great with the kids, but the people in the front at the front desk do not know what they’re doing. Don’t even have my right number and we’ve been going there since my daughter was six months. Old number hasn’t changed and my daughter is almost 7. Somethings always wrong with the insurance even though my insurance is paid. I don’t know. Just always something. I’ll probably be switching soon.
Positive experience: The front office staff and majority of the back end staff is nice and friendly. There was a dental hygienist that was kind of rude. She didn't smile or engage with the parents. My youngest child’s visit was rescheduled because she skipped over him. He’s 2 so he was out playing but i stayed in the back and they had his paperwork. So if she didn’t see him; she could’ve looked at his paperwork and asked for him. I think working with kids it’s good to have a positive attitude and customer service skills. She may have been having a bad day but that should be left at the door.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional atmosphere
Fantastic experience: I love how they come and explain everything in detail. Also very patient with kids!
Fantastic experience: They were so wonderful with my daughter, definitely coming back!!
Fantastic experience: Everyone at the office was very sweet and helpful. They were gentle and kind with my son. He loves going to the dentist because of this place!❤️
Fantastic experience: All the stuff was very good to my granddaughter.she really loved the Doctor.That is very important.to me
Fantastic experience: My kiddos love coming here and so do I. The staff members are true professionals. They greet the kids and hold conversations to ease their jitters. I will continue to use this place as long as they are in business.
Negative experience: Frustrating experience with Dr and office staff. The only thing I thought was good was the hygienist. There is one either young Dr or training to be a doctor that is fantastic and wonderful to work with. I will be sad our son can’t work with him anymore. But the lack of communication, working with me to get my kids teeth fixed and the Dr being condescending to me was enough to make me need to go elsewhere. You would think this office staff would want to get back to me and make sure all was good so we could continue much needed care. However each time I’ve called to try and get things verified so we could move forward I was just told that’s someone else department and they will get back to you. Well don’t bother. We are going elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: I would like to first and foremost thank the wonderful staff there for their great work ethic. They are efficient and very helpful. I would highly recommend this dentistry to families who are looking for a family friendly place to bring their children. God bless y'all and what y'all do with passion.
Fantastic experience: The receptionist called us 2 weeks before our original appointment because a spot opened up. We were able to get in sooner. Amazing! Everyone is awesome. They kept my little calm; from the front to the back as well as explained the process thoroughly. My little was treated as if he was one of there own. You can tell when someone loves there job. They care! By far the best dentistry I've ever seen.
Fantastic experience: The staff here is so pleasant they always try to make your experience as fast as possible and the staff is super knowledgeable and good with children. Cute waiting area also. Alice in the front deserves a raise she goes above and beyond!
Fantastic experience: Very patient with the kids and explained all procedures. Kids can’t wait to visit again.
Fantastic experience: They’re amazing with little ones love!
Fantastic experience: When we left our appointment my daughter said she thought that dentist visits were supposed to be scary Lol. Dr. Boren and his staff are amazing and makes her feel at ease. They do a great job keeping me informed and explaining everything to me and my daughter. 10 stars for sure!
Fantastic experience: Amazing, they took care of my baby so well. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.
Fantastic experience: Our daughter was in agonizing pain and Dr. Boren and his staff came in outside normal business hours to help her. Everyone was so amazing, encouraging and went above and beyond. Such a blessing! We will never go anywhere else for our little ones and can’t recommend enough.
Thank you for such kind words! We were glad to help!
