Dr. Van is so nice. I feel like he actually cares about the well being of his patients and really works hard to give them amazing results. I had a bridge and it came out even better than I was expecting. Karen was amazing and I have nothing bad to say about her at all. Now I have teeth and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. They are really a good group of people and they do an even better job with their work. :)

Dr. Dennis Van Maren has been an excellent dentist. I have visited the office for dental check-up and he found a cavity on one side of my wisdom teeth. I was worried about the pain and etc. The surgery was done correctly without much complications by Dr Van Maren. The staffs were also friendly at this office. (This experience based on year 2018).

I do not recommend this place! My implants came out a month after being put in. When he was putting the implant in he ask the assistant for a certain size implant that he needed and she replied, we are out of that size so he told her just give me whatever we have. Less than a month later it fell out. 😡😡😡 I am now going to go to a different dentist and pay again to have the work done correctly. Then sue this place to recover the cost. I have attached some photos of the kind of work you can expect if you go here.

Dr.Van Maren did not read my chart properly,therefore prescribed the wrong medication,si I was in TREMENDOS pain,because I had 3 teeth pulled and was not able to get my pain meds .So if you go there, make sure you double check any meds they prescribe before leaving the office

These people do not deserve one star worst place my husband and I have ever been! First of all it took them over two months to make my husband’s dentures then they broke eight months later! They refuse to fix them without more money paid to them which we had already paid them too much! Now over three years later out of the blue they send us another bill for almost $1000 because they did not bill our insurance like they were supposed to! They owe us money for reimbursement from our insurance company because they fell To bill our insurance company in the time they were supposed to. I could go on about how terrible this place truly is but I’m forewarning you don’t go there they will take advantage of you and your insurance and do nothing but cause problems!

Really nice and very understanding. They listened to all my wants and needs and got started. I had a tooth pulled and the dentist and staff were so nice. The dentist even called me few hours later to check on me! Mind you I could barley talk lol but he reminded me for the 3rd time what I could and couldn’t eat etc. very carrying people would recommend them to anyone.

I am very pleased with how Dr. Van Maren repaired a very serious problem I have suffered with for many years. His staff was kind and efficient. My husband and I intend to return to Bay Area Denture Center for all our dental needs.

I want to thank Dr.Van Maren, and all his wonderful staff they make you feel very calm and very friendly. I went in for oral surgery 2 weeks ago when I got there his staff made me feel very calm and were so carrying, I had 22 extractions that day, Dr. Van Maren did a wonderful job I had no pain not even when I got home, I would have thought I would have been in so much pain afterwards especially with 22 extractions, and a mouth full of stiches, but never had pain Dr. Van Maren did an excellent job, he even took the time to call that evening to check up on me. I recommended Dr.Van Maren and his staff to anyone, Thank you Dr. Van Maren and staff for being so kind and friendly, but especially for giving me my smile back.

So far, Dr Van Maren and his team get 5 stars from me. I know I have to be the most nervous patient he has but they are very patient and gentle with me. My round one of extractions was a couple of days ago. Round 2 and immediate denture in about 3 weeks. I appreciate the honesty and care Ive been given and i respect Dr Van Maren for his talents. And Tori is a sweetheart, she took excellent care of me from start to finish. Will definitely continue to see Dr Van Maren for myself and my family.

I absolutely love this place.. Who in their right mind loves the dentist.. Yea no one! but this place is amazing. The dentist and his staff are both great. They do everything in the power to make you comfortable and wont start a procedure or let you leave until you are. If you are looking for a good dentist.. Look no further. They even finance! Just cant say enough on how great this place is. The girls are amazing!

Very supportive staff to my clients, very comforting and informative. They will explain the dental process for each procedure and each step to take to get to the procedure. This is a very professional office and I am proud to make referrals to future clients.

Been seeing them for years for little stuff I couldnt wait on the VA for, but recently saw them to get my broken dentures from the VA fixed then again to get them realigned. They were quick, efficient and friendly, everything I would want from my dentist. Dr. Van Maren is a top shelf dentist and the office manager, Frankee, never fails to find a time slot that fits my schedule.

It may not be their fault I moved to Austin and have to make the trip here 3 times to fix my teeth, but what is their fault is using inferior products that break after 3 months, for not contacting the manufacturing company to find out why they are breaking. Mine have broke 3 times in less than a year, the bite is off from day they put housing in. Not worth almost $14,000.00 dollars. Now I have to pay another dentist to fix this problem.

The Doctor himself and the back staff are pretty cool. They do wonderful work. Beware of the front office staff- theyll tell you one thing and do the other- As unprofessional as they come! Also, if you can- dont go with their finance company! Its not a finance company at all- All they do is collect the money for the dental center- A fact that they dont disclose.

Bought a friend a teeth cleaning. They canceled the appointment and went somewhere else. Now they refuse to refund my card because the appointment was for my friend! That was in April! Been through multiple channels and still they kept my $400 without providing a service! I will never recommend them to anyone ever again. Their front staff has high turnover as well. Speaks to their piss poor business!

Review №17

Getting upper dentures at Bay Area Denture Center was one of the worst decisions I have ever made. I have talked with many other denture wearers and found not one person who had continuously bad experiences like I have. First, the pain was unbearable for three months when I wore the dentures. I went in for adjustments over and over and over, and would feel better for a day or two. After getting a soft reline, the dentures would fit well for two months. I had one in June, and now my dentures dont fit. It was a surprise to me today to find out that the next reline will cost me $300.00. I used to love going out to eat, but now hardly ever do because eating is such and unpleasant experience. I cannot bite food and I cannot chew food because my dentures do not match up with my lower real teeth. I wear my dentures about an hour a day because they feel so awful. The center part (the roof) is so thick it gags me. Every time I went in for an adjustment, the technician would try to convince me that they would become comfortable and useful, neither of which happened in nine months. Now I am stuck with these awful things or forced to pay $300.00 in hopes of finally getting them right. Not good. All this aggravation cost me about $2,300.00 and I am left with dentures that do not fit.
