I had a great online consult and in person consult. But the composite bonding was less than ideal. First, he couldn't get the color right and told me it was too dark and I would need to come back. Then, when I returned, he fixed the color but he messed up the shape of the tooth. I went back for a third time and left with better results until one of the two teeth chipped (less than 4 months). Each time I am made to feel like a huge inconvenience to the dentist and staff, therefore I refuse to go back and am looking for a new cosmetic dentist for a complete redo. And I lost over $2000 for this two teeth that have to be completely redone in less than 6 months.
Mind you prior to this I had composite bonding on a peg lateral for 11 years with NO issues. I am no stranger to being gentle with composite bonding.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Alana N.CO, CO02Jan 18, 2023
I am very disappointed with the integrity of this business. I had a veneer on my front tooth fall off on a Friday- long holiday weekend.
I called the on call person who informed me they were at a birthday party and would not be able to help me ( last time 6 months ago this same on call person was at a movie)
I then received a text from the office manager Tiffany
Who informed me I could go to a urgent care or another dentist. She was going to review with Adam and evaluate further relationships.
Tiffany was unusually cruel, rude and aggressive. I feel when you are in a service industry the service should be provided!
I might add very expensive services
I do not recommend these self absorbed individualsHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mishelle G.Elyria-Swansea, Denver, CO05Feb 22, 2023

When I moved to Colorado, I knew I had a bunch of dental work needing to be done. After doing a ton of research I came across Almeida and Bell dental. They have done great work so far. Had to have 7 old crowns replaced from my childhood, and am having lots of cosmetic dentistry done soon. Starting at the front desk to everyone else involved, this is a great business!

I really liked this place. Sad I had to changed dentists when I moved north. Driving to Lone Tree just want feasible for me. However, I was always treated really well here. The staff was really good and attentive.
Everything seemed really hygienic! If you're looking for a dentist in the area this is the place to go.
I had routine cleanings here as well as had a night guard made for my TMJ. Pricey but worth it.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1Business owner information

I have always disliked the dentist. I still do not like them but this place is very gentle and caring. They have ways to assist with relaxing. If you dislike dentist this is the place to go. Everyone in the office is caring and helpful.
Highly recommend this dental group. Thanks for helping me.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Maybee M.Littleton, CO0124Jan 8, 2018Updated review

Today, I see my insurance got billed I guess for the X-rays the office did, which was not what my appt. was for, my appt. I made was only for a cleaning!! And I had spoken with the staff when I made the appt. Also. I was given a treatment plan by Tiffany, the office manager, which does not show any X-rays and does show the cleaning I wanted and was refused by Gaylynn their hygienist. I am calling now to get the X-rays since it seems that is the only service I got on 1/4/18 and will give to the new dentist that will care about me and my teeth and health not just how many $$$ he can rack up with an unnecessary treatment plan!
Seriously, know what you are getting when you walk in here!!Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hello. Our office made you VERY aware on 4 different occasions that your appointment was for 2 hours: First, 1 hour for the x-rays and exam with the Dr, and one hour for a basic cleaning with the hygienist. We always let our new patients know to allow 2 hours for their first visit so they can plan their day with that information. This is our policy when new patients make appointments. You state your appointment was just for a cleaning, so why didn't you say anything when x-rays were taken and the Dr did the exam? Our office first heard of this from your negative review.
Your treatment plan was exactly that, a treatment plan and cost for future work, so the x-rays you already had were not on the treatment plan.
Gaylynn did not refuse to give you a cleaning, she refused to give you the type of cleaning you were dictating. We could have easily made money from you by giving you the type of cleaning you demanded, but we care more about giving you the correct treatment than money. We actually lost money because you were scheduled for a cleaning and nothing was done, but again, we did what was best for you.
Please inform us what in your treatment plan was unnecessary and please indicate the dental background you have in determining what is or isn't necessary, as well as the clinical proof. We have clinical proof to back up our treatment plan AND we have to send clinical proof to your insurance to get paid on the treatment. You can't go around slandering our office because we refused to allow you to dictate treatment. Dr Almeida even encouraged you to get a second opinion if you disagreed with his treatment diagnosis.
I will not entertain the "false advertisement" claim from 9 years ago, it's ruling was subjective at best and you are grasping at straws at this point. To all who read this review, browse her review history, it's very telling.
From this point moving forward, we would appreciate all correspondence in writing.Jan 4, 2018Previous reviewCheck Dora review on "Dr. Adam" as he is called, false advertising!!

Dr. Bell and his team are AMAZING! I really can't speak highly enough of them. I'll start off by saying that I have extreme dental anxiety stemming from childhood trauma. I hadn't been to the dentist since in about 16 years. I was so embarrassed about my teeth and so terrified of stepping foot in that door. Dr. Bell and his team made me feel so welcome and helped to put my mind at ease. Dr. Bell explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. He is very easy to talk to and a very nice man in general. I don't think I've ever waited more than 5 minutes in the lobby. The office is lovely (doesn't look like a typical dentists office at all, it's very soothing) and the reception staff are all super nice. Tiffany, the office manager, spoke with me for over an hour on my first visit and really helped explain the process and answer any questions that I might have.
As far as the actual procedures go (and believe me, I had many), the process is not nearly as bad as I thought. Dr. Bell even called me after hours after my final procedure to make sure I was ok. I elected to have sedation for my first procedure and it was a breeze! Dr. Bell's assistant, Sherrie, is so wonderful. She is so kind and sweet. She helped to distract me whenever there was any discomfort. They have a TV with headphones to wear to help the guests feel as comfortable as possible.
I am so glad I made the decision to visit Almeida & Bell. They are truly wonderful people. Dr. Bell is an artist! You can tell he really cares about his patients and goes the extra mile to make sure we are 100% satisfied. My teeth are INCREDIBLE! I can't stop smiling. I get compliments on my new smile constantly and I've honestly never been more confident. Dr. Bell changed my life. I would completely recommend Almeida & Bell to all my friends and family.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I have been going to Dr. Bell for a few years now and I can't say enough good things about my experience. I needed a lot of dental work, and some things that needed to be fixed from other dentists I saw before him. He is so kind and I really trust the work he does. I've been to some bad dentists and it is really refreshing to finally find someone you can trust. I had an implant done for one of my front teeth which a lot of other dentists weren't too keen on attempting. I think there was potential for it to turn out really poorly, but Dr. Bell worked some kind of magic. It's honestly been such an amazing experience to have him work on my teeth and i could go on forever but I am beyond happy/excited about the way my teeth look and I don't think I've ever said that before! I highly recommend this office and wouldn't go anywhere else.
I also see Gaylynn for my cleanings and she is a gem. The front office staff is also very nice and organized.... and I'll end my review here, but highly recommend this place.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rebecca Z.Denver, CO7141Oct 3, 2018
I have been going to Almeida & Bell for 12 years. Unfortunately, no longer. On July 2nd I get a call from Capital One Collections for a balance $210.00 dollars for DOS 10/26/17. It was from Almeida & Bell Dental. I assured the collectors it was incorrect. I had only been there for cleanings for the past 4 years. And they were covered 100% by my insurance. I then called Almeida & Bell office to inform them of this collection call I just received. I said it was for DOS 10/26/17, was this not paid by insurance? Tiffany the office manager (and daughter of Bell SR) stated yes the 10/26/17 service was paid for, but this was for 2 no-shows. 1 for 7/24/17 that I re-scheduled for 7/26 and they where paid on 8/10. They other for 1/23/18, which, I cancelled VIA text 48 hours in advanced, in addition to calling and speaking to the receptionist and she assured me there was no charge. I was no longer employed or had insurance. So then 7 months later I get a collections call, are you serious! Tiffany, stated they sent me 11 statements, when I asked what address she raddled off some address from 4 1/2 years ago. I informed her Tiffany I have moved 3 times since then, why would you have not called me? or simply say I have a balance when I was in the office. ( they sent it to collections on 6/28/18... no bills where ever sent out). The charges were 75.00 x 2, In addition to a 60.00 collection charge. HA... I called Delta Dental and confirmed the collection they sent over to Capital One for DOS 10/26/17 was in fact paid for. The EOB was for $100.00 and they were paid 100% on the claim. Although they sent me to collections for $210.00 and for the wrong Dates. This is such a crock! Now the collections company has reported this the credit Bureau's and hurt my credit. I used to refer so many people to This Dental practice. Well no longer. They have really gone down hill. Word of mouth is everything. Its to bad the father Bell Sr. retired, he built this practice and now they are ruining it by BAD customer service!!! I saw the father initially he is a class act! what a shame and disgrace this has turned out to be! Are they desperate for money?? Looking at the other recent reviews on yelp, perhaps! I have never had an outstanding balance with this dentist! EVER
FYI..Tiffany, Threatened me that if I wrote a yelp review that she would go back 12 years on all my no-shows (which were re-schedules) and send them to collections.
I have reported this to DORA and also filed a Grievance with Delta DentalHelpful 5Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Rebecca,
I am surprised by this review, as we have been more than fair with you, especially due the extreme amount of times you didn't show up for your appointments. I feel by writing off all but 2 of the numerous missed appointments, I had set a bad precedent with you. I had tried to explain to you how your many missed appointments have affected our small business, but unfortunately, you didn't care, which indicated to me I should have never NOT followed our policy to begin with.
I had also explained to you numerous times that you cannot cancel appointments via text message or email, which the text and emails also indicate, but again, you didn't listen to me and continued to cancel in a way that we wouldn't have gotten the messages.
You had ample time to either pay or dispute the charges with the collection agency so that it didn't affect your credit, which I advised you to do but you didn't do so, therefore affecting your credit as you say.
I honestly don't know what I could've done differently, besides follow our no show policy from the beginning. Your missed appointments were a great expense to our office, in addition to not being able to see other patients and I am perplexed as to why you feel you shouldn't be responsible for a fraction of the overhead cost of your missed appointments. You took advantage of our kindness and then try to slander our office when we follow through with our cancellation/no show policy, which you agreed to and signed.
I hope you have better luck with another dentist.
~Tiffany
