I really dislike penning negative reviews but what transpired with my latest interactions with Dayton Dental really bothered me. Lesson learned: Check to see if Dr. Flugstad’s office still accepts your dental insurance before your appointment because they won’t tell you.
My wife and I were patients here for years with the same dental insurance. During our recent exams, x-rays, and cleanings, we were unaware that his office no longer accepted our insurance plan prior to treatment.

Read moreI highly recommend Dayton Dental! Seeing the dentist had always been a traumatic experience for me until I found Dayton Dental many years ago.

Read moreIt wasn’t a very pleasant experience at all, made appointment weeks ahead for cleaning and i was so clear that i want to do it in one appointment rather then doing it in multiple appointments because i don’t have time so we agreed doing it in one appointment with the person to do it in one appointment she said it take like 2 hours i said thats fine then I scheduled it to do it in one appointment but when i came in that wasn’t the case because the over book the dental hygienists and had no time for for today that’s so wrong to schedule you for 2 hours and then let you go home after like 30 minuets simply because all dental hygienists all fully booked how about my day and simply i can take any day off for next 3 month i have really busy schedule. This is thr very first time i give some a very bad rating hope you guys don’t ruin...
