Love love love! Dr kintonis has been helping the kids and I for over 10 years. The hygienist and staff are extremely helpful. Dr Zach is a welcome and pleasant addition! Highly recommend !!

I work in the medical field and was looking for a great Dentist, (not just a good Dentist) as I am rather particular about my Dentist.
Dr. Kintonis was referred to me by a friend who happens to be a Radiologist here in town that uses Dr. K herself. So, I felt good about the referral.
Never once have they tried to tell me that I need dental work that I really don’t need, or try to sell me expensive toothpaste, etc…
That was about 5 years ago and I have had nothing but excellent experiences with Dr. K, Dana (Hygienist) who is totally awesome and articulate about her work and the nice ladies at the front and check-​out.
I can’t say enough good about this Dental Practice.

I realize you can’t please everyone all of the time but all of my friends that go to Dr. Kintonis love him and his office. He is gentle and always remembers me and my teeth. My youngest son is also a patient at his office and when he needed anesthetic to pull a tooth he didn’t even realize he was getting a shot. I was always afraid of the dentist but now I actually don’t mind going and getting my teeth cleaned. Thank you Dr. Kintonis.

I had a very bad experience here. His dental work failed. My insurance wil not cover any work done on this area for eight years. He did not stand behind his work & wants me to GIVE him more money to fix the failure. I think he’s in this for the money.

As an older person who has been blessed with excellent oral health, I went to Dr. Kintonis with pain in the back of my mouth. He didn’t see anything and a year later the pain became gradually worse and I asked him again. He said that I had 2 small fractures and I was missing a back tooth, so he would make a bridge and the pain would be gone. The process of fitting and placing the temporary bridge was so painful that I could not hold tears back. When I went back about every other day for a week because of pain, he said that there was no more that he could do and he appeared to judge me as a complaining old woman. The next day, I went to a different dentist who determined (after blowing air through my teeth) that it was a bad wisdom tooth. After the wisdom tooth was removed, the pain was gone but I was left with an ill-​fitting $ 3000 bridge which I may not have needed to which I had already paid half. I went back 10 days later to Dr. Kintonis to tell him that my bridge was not right. He neither knew that my wisdom tooth was pulled nor did he know that I had complained about pain a year before because he never looked at his notes. He tried to get the bridge to fit and would not make it over. He was intent on permanently cementing it. Needless to say, my bite was not right and my jaw has shifted so dramatically that I appear to now have TMJ. After a number of trips back to Dr. Kintonis complaining about these symptoms, he simply wanted the rest of his money (given that this process has been almost two years), which I paid even though it was totally misdiagnosed, and he felt my mouth was fine. After he permanently cemented the bridge, he then had the young hygienist clean my teeth despite my misgivings as I wanted an appointment for another time. It turned out that he had a party to attend for a member of his family. Perhaps the young hygienist broke off a piece of cement from the permanent bridge which has now resulted in problems with the tooth when I eat or drink. Obviously, I am seeing a different dentist. His ego and his practice are too big for me. Not only does he do sloppy work, but he also does not read his notes. Simply put, he goes from patient to patient, doesn’t think outside the box, and doesn’t even take a lunch hour. Don’t be fooled by his supposed sincerity. It’s simply all about the money.

I had been a patient of his for a number of years. He was a good dentist at that time. However, his practice has expanded greatly (he moved his practice to a bigger office and hired an associate). I had a filling (which he performed a couple of years ago) come out and got an appointment within a week. When I went to my appointment (and he would have charged me $ 25 if I did not give 24 hrs notice), I was in the waiting room slightly over 60 minutes past my appointment time. Needless to say, I left and even though I told the receptionist that he should not call me, he did anyway (I guess they don’t listen). On my answering machine, he mentioned that he was running a little behind so I should give him a call tomorrow. My definition of a little behind may be 15 minutes, not 60 minutes. If he was running so far behind, then why didn’t the office staff call me and either reschedule or give me a heads up to come in a little later? My time is also important. Needless to say, I’ve moved on to a different dentist (with whom I am happy at this point). Dr. Kintonis is so overloaded with patients that the quality of the dentistry potentially suffers. So, if you like assembly line dentistry (as he has quite a number of chairs that he goes to and fro, like he’s double parked), who totally cares about the bottom line, and potentially provides lesser quality in his work (given that my filling didn’t stay), then this is the dentist for you.

Best dentist ever! I went to him yrs. ago (’98) after I had been on chemotherapy. I found out that I had 16 cavities and a few root canals and it was going to cost me thousands of dollars. After sitting in that chair for thousands of hours and after $ 16,000 my teeth were redone. Ever since then when I go and have my teeth whitened or when I’ve been to another dentist (even though he is my dentist now!) everybody compliments me on his work. He did a lot of detailed work like root canals and bridges but he saved my teeth. I am grateful for that. Most dentists would have just ripped out all my teeth and put in fake ones. He’s an honest doctor and I am lucky to have been referred to him so long ago.

After the dentist who bought our longtime dentist’s office said my wife and I needed about $ 4000 dollars worth of work done on our first visit to his office, we decided to get a second opinion. Thank God for Samantha who referred us to Dr. Kintonis, who informed us that of the twelve or so teeth the other dentist said needed to have the filling’s replaced, only one actually had to be replaced. I can’t say that there are no other honest dentist out there, but I can say that Dr. Kintonis is definitely one of them. Trying our best to shout it from the roof tops!

I hate to be the unpleasant one, but my partner came here for some fillings and xrays, and had quite a few problems.
The only reason there’s 1 star (besides Unilocal requiring it as a minimum) is because they take UFCW insurance at cost without co-​pay.
My partner had two fairly bad cavities back in June. One on each side. The first one was filled, and he still feels periodic discomfort from the filling. They also tried to prescribe him Amoxicillin, despite him clearly having a Penicillin allergy labeled on his chart. (I caught this when they were calling in the script, thank god…)
The second (and worse of the two) filling was supposed to be done during an appointment on ⁶⁄₁₇. They were instructed that we had a tight schedule when we booked it the week before, and that we were leaving state permanently 2 days later. We also did not have time for an appointment on 6/​18, due to us packing and moving. They waited until the morning of the appointment to call and say that they wouldn’t be doing the appointment because the blonde dentist doesn’t work on that day, and they’re not sure why the appointment was scheduled. They then tried to pressure him to take an appointment on the 19^th, which was the day we were leaving, despite them having been clearly informed of this the week before.
Luckily we were able to take him to Preferred Family Dentistry instead, where Dr. Jafarifar did an amazing job on short notice. Despite having a worse cavity to work with, she was done in a quick amount of time and he has no pain.
Honestly, while the staff here were nice… it’s not worth the hassle of having an appointment cancelled last minute when they knew we had a rush, or the fact that they were blatantly negligent in prescribing a medication he was allergic to, and could have easily killed him. A little more due diligence in patient care is necessary.
=============
UPDATE: Since someone at Unilocal HQ is trying to suppress this review improperly, claiming that it lacks a direct firsthand customer experience, please note that outside of the filling performed on my partner, I was directly involved in the entire process, including filling out of paperwork, appointment scheduling etc. and am therefore in my complete right to post this review, which is in compliance with Unilocal terms and conditions.

My husband needed a tooth pulled and, after reading reviews here, chose Dr. Kintonis. After successfully pulling a difficult tooth, Dr. Kintonis called my husband later in the day to make sure he was okay. Who does that any more???
Based on my husband’s experience, I went to Dr. Kintonis also. Everyone in the office is excellent from the ladies at the front desk to the technicians in the back. Best of all is Dr. Kintonis — kind, gentle, compassionate — unlike any dentist I had before. And he did a beautiful job on my teeth.
If you need dental work, I highly recommend Dr. Kintonis and his awesome staff… and I’ve NEVER recommended a dentist before in my life.

I’ve been coming to this dentist for years because they actually know what they’re doing and take certain precautions and talk to you about everything possible so you feel you’re in good hands.

Dr. Kintonis is the best dentist you can have treating you.
My family moved to Las Vegas in May 2009 and in July 2009 my wife was in a car accident. Two of her teeth were pulverized and she had massive trauma to her face. After metal was removed from her face at UMC by a plastic surgeon, the next day she went and saw Dr. Kintonis for an assessment. The next day after that, a Thursday, he performed the first of many procedures to repair her teeth. On Friday at 6 pm I received a call from him. He wanted to know if my wife was doing okay before he went home for the weekend. That was absolutely the most amazing call I have ever received from a medical professional!
He has continued to treat my wife, and me, and numerous people we have recommended him to, with the same outstanding service. You cannot do better than Dr. Kintonis.

He’s a really gentle spirit and everyone in the office is really friendly, but very expensive! He actually couldn’t do one of my root canals and had to send me to a specialist. He did try to get to it on separate occasions though– so A for effort. His office doesn’t do laughing gas– for those who are looking to get knocked out and scared of dentists. But he really is one of the most gentle dentists that care about your feelings and if you’re scared he WILL try to calm you down by being a genuinely nice guy and will explain in detail what it is he’s going to do and will stop if you need a break. 1 star taken away for his prices though.

Every day, when I brush my teeth, I hear Dr. K telling me that my mouth is a Porsche (which is true, I have more money in it than a Porsche,) and I need to take care of it.
When our family found Dr. K, we came from a horrific dentist who put me through so much pain. Dr. K is gentle and kind. He was young and enthusiastic. The kids loved him… we left the pediatric dentist who wanted to tie my son down to do a simple filling and give him many unnecessary drugs, and put our child in the hands of Dr. K.
Now, he is no longer young, I noticed recently there is gray at the temples… but he’s not old either… His methods are the latest, and his new office is AMAZING.
He’ s kind, he is gentle, he will explain options and understand if you just don’t have the cash for the recommended treatment. His staff is kind.
When my husband had cancer, Dr. K was so sweet with him. That alone makes him amazing.
If you don’t have a dentist, you found the right one. He’s amazing. He and my doctor were the two things I mourned most when I left for Oregon :(
