Valley Ridge Family Dental

"Dr Johnson and team are really great - very thorough, and very considerate of the overall experience. There is no shame if you need work done on your teeth; they provide great education during the visit as well!"

"The worst! I wish there were a zero star option. My 70 year old mother now has multiple problems with her teeth because of this dentist. She pushes procedures that are unnecessary creating more problems. First, she removed a filling that was in perfectly good shape but it was silver. She suggested changing it to a white filling and unfortunately my mom believed it was the correct thing to do. Two weeks later that tooth fell apart. Second, my mom needed a crown on another tooth and Dr. Johnson told my mother she would need crown lengthening which is a very painful procedure. Thankfully, based on previous terrible advice from Dr. Johnson, my mom was smart enough to get a second opinion. Sure enough, the new dentist indicated crown lengthening is NOT necessary, and the previous silver filing should have never been removed. This has created multiple problems and my mom has a terrible infection in her mouth now. The new dentist prescribed not one, but two strong antibiotics. My mom will now need a root canal in the tooth that fell apart due to Dr. Johnson’s horrible work. I am so furious about what my mom is going through. Trust me, Stay Away from this dentist!"

"I have been a patient of Dr. Johnson's for almost two years. I transferred from another office where I felt like I was just another number. Here I felt more welcomed and relaxed. They are very thorough and explained my needs well. I even got to see my X-Rays and up close photos of an area I was concerned with that turned out to be no big deal! I look forward to seeing them every six months."

"Dr. Johnson and her staff are very informative! They provide a comfortable environment for every family. There has never been a fuss with our children going to see the dentist since becoming patients. She is able to answer all of the questions you might have. Don't dread going to see the dentist anymore..."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Johnson's for many years and have followed her to her new beautiful, dental practice in West Des Moines. Dr. Johnson and Tara are so kind and make me feel so comfortable when I walk in the door. Having a filling was so easy with Dr. Johnson. She was so gentle and caring throughout the whole procedure. She does great dental work. Also, Dr. Johnson is honest and trustworthy and that was why I followed her to the new location. The dental practice is so clean too. Dr. Johnson truly cares about her patients and I would not go anywhere else! I highly recommend going to Valley Ridge Family Dental."
