Highland Springs Dental

Years ago I trusted this dentist's recommendation to perform two fillings. The teeth did not bother me, but the dentist was adamant that two rear molars needed work. Being young, I trusted this recommendation. Afterwords, I realized that she had drilled out prior silver fillings from another dentist and replaced them with inferior composite. Initially I felt deceived, but I let it go and simply decided to switch dentist. Fast forward a few years and my current dentist shows me small cavities on the same teeth that need attention. He expressed his concern with the prior work ahead of treatment. These small fillings turned into two root canals that I cannot help but believe would not have been necessary if Dr. Howard had not performed unnecessary work on these teeth years earlier. Silver f

Worst experience ever!!!!! I left the office crying!!! Dr.Howard attempted to extract my tooth before it was numb. After numbing me twice she became very rude and told me “I have given you enough time.” As if I can control how my body reacts to the anesthesia. I sat there in front of her and cried because I was so frustrated and had lost all trust. She showed no compassion and actually told me to leave. I am still in shock. The receptionist and the girl Bailey are very nice and professional but Dr. Howard is a prime example of why people are afraid to go to the dentist. My 14 year old daughter witnessed everything. She was in disbelief. I will be reporting Dr. Howard to the Board of Dentistry. She is highly unprofessional....extremely non compassionate and subjected me to the worst pain I’

I love my dentist. If you have anxiety, let the staff know at intake. I had a bunch of work done. I was afraid of the dentist for about 18 years so you can imagine what I had to get done. She is a perfectionist that wants to make sure you are left with a great smile.

My husband went here for a cracked tooth that needed to be extracted. Just like someone else's review said, she extracted his tooth without allowing him to be numbed completely. He advised her several times he could feel it and she kept going with the extraction saying"I almost have it". He was in a full blown sweat and trembling. I was in shock. Needless to say, he nor I ever returned

Staff nice. Felt overcharged in the past but now it’s better. She can rush at times doing your work. Don’t like that you get pricked and not told the needle is coming .... that’s basic customer service. People don’t want to come to the dentist for this reason. Don’t stab my gum without informing me ! And it’s a jab not a gentle insertion.
