Orthodontist Consultation Americas

This is the most personable office you could find! They welcomed my daughter and myself to make us feel comfortable and my daughter can't wait to get her braces. The orthodontist even knew she was a mouth breather and I have sleep apnea so he's going to gently widen the top part of her teeth as a preventative measure! Impressed impressed impressed! Thank you!!!!

I had the best experience at this office! I am deathly afraid of going to the dentist, however, right from my initial call to the office(which took me months to even pick up the phone and make the call) I got this feeling of calmness just by how the one receptionist answered my call and helped me to book the type of appointment I needed!! She answered all my questions, and to be totally honest, for the first time ever in my years of dreading going to the dentist, when I hung up the phone from that call....wait for it.... Wait for it... I was actually excited and almost looking forward to my visit to this clinic!!! I know it sounds hoaky but I am 100% saying that that is how she made me feel when I got off the darn phone!!! So 2 weeks go by and my appointment date arrives. Well, I thought my initial call was good but I had no idea how darn awesome everyone there was! Dr. Konotopetz is simply put, an amazingly caring, knowledgeable, pain-free dentists. He did an extremely thorough exam and taught me things about my teeth that I had no idea about, he then has his assistant take some x-rays and the hygienists did a wonderful pain-free cleaning (yes, you heard me right folks PAIN-FREE)! Then, to top it off, at the end of my appointment, Lisa, the receptionist that took my initial call, gave me a beautiful Signature Smiles coffee mug with this gorgeous bouquet of flowers in them from Wascana Floral Shop and thanked me for coming in and choosing them to be my team of dental health care providers!!! I told Lisa she pretty much had me at hello lol!!! The following week, the doctor had me come back to the clinic where he discussed with me all the results of my x-rays and the things he saw at my first appointment with him. He actually took the time to look at all the things going on in my mouth (remember people, I have a deathly fear of going... no wait... I had a deathly fear of going to the dentist so the teeth I do have are... Well, let's just say they are not the best)! However, Dr Konotopetz did not make me feel bad, or shame me, or make me feel embarrassed for having bad teeth but instead complimented me on some of the positive things he noticed that I had been doing to try to maintain what I have left!! He then "explained to me some of the concerns he had seen (he explained, he didn't tell me) with my teeth, gums and some bite issues I have without me even realizing that my clenching and sore achy jaw I have every morning is compromising the teeth I have left!!! He then advised me of different treatment options that would be available to me that I CAN CHOOSE to help get things back on track!!! I could go on and on about how great this place is and how they have changed my life but y'all need to experience it for yourselves! I tell ya this guy is a godsend, he is genuine, he is a MUST SEE! THANK YOU DR KONOTOPETZ for all you have done for me and THANK YOU ALSO TO YOUR EXCELLENT EXCELLENT STAFF! You have all changed my life.

This review only applies to Drs. Jorge Armenta and Paulina Contreras. Approximately 70% of all dental work is correcting old, failed dental work. Mine last week was 100%: 3 failed molar composite fillings and two 40 year old incisor root canal crowns. I brought in a dental CAT scan obtained the day before at SA Dentis Digital Dental Imaging. The doctors' recommendations were rational and reasonable - there was no pressure or upselling. Upon Dr. Armenta's recommendation, Dr. Paulina prepped and installed 2 molar crowns without root canals, also a very large molar composite filling. On my insistence, she worked without anaesthetic. Her work was exacting, unrushed, gentle, and thorough. I also brought in my self-care materials. I consulted with the doctors about methods, recorded progress, and prognosis. Dr. Armenta was genially supportive of my efforts. Dr. Paulina, which whom I scheduled extra time particularly for consultation regarding self-care, very capable and willingly offered advice and demonstration regarding flossing, brushing, self-irrigation of gum pockets, etc. These two doctors are fluent in English, thoughtful, careful, courteous, and highly skilled. The advice and treatment I received there was the best I have experienced in any dental office, including the US, Canada, and Europe. The cost savings paid for my 1-week vacation in Playa del Carmen. I hesitated to write this review because I want to return to this office in future - but finally felt that my desire for their continued success has to overcome my own selfish interest. I am a 68 year old chiropractor and have spent considerable time/effort/money over the past few years in researching and practising dental self-care, resolving periodontitis, remineralizing my own teeth, regenerating my gum pockets and recission with considerable success with Orawellness information and products. I try to be very courteous, but most dental offices find my desires for self reliance more or less offensive, or just silly. In contrast, while Drs. Armenta and Contreras do not promote these efforts, they were supportive and encouraging. Dr. Paulina is cognizant and approving of advances in dental remineralization and enamel permeability that others downplay. The office staff are courteous and service-oriented, although almost entirely lacking in English language skills.

Very kind and caring. The service was wonderful. Uses the latest technology. I would highly recommend it. Travelled from San Antonio Tx to Piedras. San Antonio is way overpriced and work is poorly done only from my opinion and experience. Thank you Piedras Negras.
