DO NOT GET YOUR WISDOM TEETH PULLED HERE!!! They promised that they would put me to sleep, my insurance approved it and I verified that. The dental surgeon proceeded to lie to me and convince me that being put to sleep would be "dangerous" so I got all 4 pulled awake. They said I needed to pay $400 for a bone graft which wasn't approved by insurance. Okay, fine. More on that later.. So they pull all 4 teeth, and the dental assistant proceeds to run through the after care instructions super fast. I didn't retain half of what she said. So I asked her the best I could (all 4 teeth now pulled, blood and so much gauze in my mouth I can barely talk) if she could tell that to my girlfriend who's waiting in the waiting room. She says, "no. You're an adult you can take care of yourself, maybe if you were a kid but you're not." So then I make my way to the front office, where the lady who only cares about money makes me get on the computer to try and log into my bank acct because I left my phone and wallet at home because i was supposed to be put to sleep, again, AFTER the surgery. Gauze in my mouth, blood. Can't talk hardly at all. I just want to go home and stop bleeding. Finally my girlfriend came and put it on her credit card so I could just pay her back later. Terrible. All they care about it turning patients over as fast as possible, and money.

Customer reviews present a mixed view of Newport Dental & Orthodontics. Some patients have expressed high satisfaction with specific staff members, while others have reported negative experiences.
Positive feedback highlights Arda, a hygienist, who is described as "the best" by some families. Ramon, another staff member, is praised for his helpfulness in coordinating insurance and pricing for treatments.
However, a significant negative review detailed an experience where a patient received a diagnosis of multiple cavities and gingivitis, which was later contradicted by a second opinion from another dental practice. This patient expressed concerns about the accuracy of the initial diagnosis and described the practice as a "scam." The patient also critiqued the hygienist's method of explaining gingivitis by showing a video instead of providing a personalized explanation.
Based on the available reviews, the following points can be noted:
- Some staff members, like Arda and Ramon, receive positive feedback for their service.
- There are concerns about the accuracy of diagnoses provided by the practice.
- One patient reported a significant discrepancy between diagnoses received at Newport Dental & Orthodontics and another dental office.
- Concerns regarding the method of patient education were raised.
Potential patients are advised to consider these mixed reviews and seek further information or a second opinion if they have concerns about their dental care.
