Mountain Health Dentistry

Truly, I would have to write a full-length novel to adequately detail all of the things that went horribly wrong over the course of nearly 5 years as a patient of Dr Miner’s. It took a failed root canal, an ensuing root infection, a failed surgery to correct failed root canal and resulting infection, and the suggestion of Dr Miner that a third procedure take place (scheduled 3 months out, of course) before I woke up and considered the possibility that perhaps the care I’d been receiving was inadequate. None of these things were free, by the way. The pain that I experienced as a result of this issue from December 2024-May of 2025 was unrelenting and debilitating to the point that I was unable to function in my daily life. When I finally had enough, I began shopping around for a new dentist

Do NOT go here for TMJ help! I went to this dentistry seeking help for TMJ. They did an evaluation of my jaw and then told me to see a myofascial specialist. They also offered a pulse oximetry sleep study, which I agreed to. When I was leaving, I asked to pay my bill, but they told me insurance covered it. I completed the study, and after that, they never contacted me with results and ignored my calls requesting them. Seven months later, I received a bill for $225. When I called for an explanation, they didn’t return my call. Instead, they sent a threatening letter stating: “You can pay the balance of $225 and we will go over the results of your pulsox, or we will take further action if we have not received payment by November 25th, 2025.” They refused to speak with me about the bill a

This review is based on laser lip and tongue frenectomies performed on my older newborn by Dr. Miner. He is the only dentist in Durango and surrounding areas who does tie releases with laser. I brought my baby to see him after a diagnosis of faltered growth, despite exclusive breastfeeding. The lactation consultant said her latch was somewhat shallow. Digging around in my baby's mouth, I thought there might be a hooded lip tie and a posterior tongue tie. The pediatric provider told us that we were on the cusp of needing to supplement her due to poor weight gain and fussiness. I didn't ask the pediatric provider to assess for ties because I don't believe that they are competent in this area of infant feeding, especially in the case of posterior/submucosal tongue ties. Dr. Miner's office fi

This guy botched two dental implants for me, resulting in a few of the most painful months I've ever experienced during the healing process. But surprise! They never healed because they were loose. So I endured months of suffering just to have the implants removed (and, of course, still be charged for the service)! The office is also full of Botox advertising, so while you're waiting for a cleaning you'll be made to stare at a poster encouraging you to examine and fix your 'flaws' such as wrinkles. On top of all this, I received a letter informing me that this office is no longer accepting dental insurance. Period. "You can submit for your own out of network benefits!" Don't waste your time or money here. His services aren't cheap. Edit: it's so telling how this business responds to negat

I am an emerging senior. Who has been hiding out due to a misunderstood illness. Now I am on disability and am feeling more brave. But I feel that my neglected mouth could use some special care. So I chose this dentist with a fancy named practice! Don't let the name fool you. He didn't try to talk me into any fancy surgery. I was well taken care of and I look forward to my next appointment! The staff are warm, kind and friendly. Dr. Miner is very approachable!! If you need fancy stuff it's the place to go! If you need dental work, and want the gas!! Please go!! My cleaning was gentle and didn't take long at all!! Dr. Miner didn't yank my tongue around either!! A high score in my book!! And my dental X-rays were gentle and high-tech. So cool 😎!! I recommend Durango Laser Dentistry highly!!
