What recent reviews say

Foothills Dental stands out for Dr. Ayers' technical skill and gentle approach, particularly with anxious patients. Most reviewers describe painless procedures and genuinely warm staff. One significant complaint surfaced: a patient experienced poorly-fitted crowns, referral delays, and subsequent billing sent to collections without clear communication.

The practice excels at making patients feel valued, from children to those with past dental trauma. Pricing and aftercare transparency appear inconsistent based on available feedback.

Most patients praise the team's warmth and professionalism, describing a calm, efficient experience even for complex extractions and implant work.
