Messed up my teeth twice in a row! After I called and voiced my concerns about the unskilled manner my cavities were fixed they offered to fix them a third time. As you could imagine I was unwilling to let the ineptitude of this dentist give it another go. Along with the sub-par fillings I received I was also misquoted as to the co-pay I would be responsible for by HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS for each of my unfortunate visits.
I requested my copay to be refunded and THEY REFUSED! Look elsewhere for your dental needs I implore you.

I ended up going to Alta View Dental Care due to biting on a bone and my old metal filling popped out. I tried to set up the appointment as a checkup and to get a new filling. They were able to squeeze me in their schedule within a couple days. When I arrived for the appointment, I had to wait a bit (about 45mins) as they were running behind. After I was in the chair they started taking x-rays of the issue area, I asked if they were going to take the rest of the x-rays for a checkup and I was told that I would have to set up another appointment as they didn’t have time for the current appointment

Dr Hughes and Becky are super great. I just moved to Utah from LA and I never thought I’d find the right dentist for me and this is it! So welcoming and you feel at home. They make me feel as comfortable as possible and are so detail oriented walking me through all the steps and reassuring me that they will help me with any dental needs. Not only are they great dentists they are great conversationalists as well. Every time I go in for an appointment they go above and beyond! My appointments are always super fun because I can joke with them and just pretty much talk about anything and everything

After not seeing a dentist for a few years, I was quite hesitant to go back. After combing through Yelp views, I stumbled upon Alta View's high ratings and am glad I did! Dr Hughes, his hygienist and office staff was the perfect choice! All staff was extremely friendly and made me feel very comfortable and seemed completely non judgmental about it being so long since I'd seen a dentist.
I don't think I remember ever having such a thorough exam and cleaning. Nor do I remember ever feeling so fresh, clean, sparkly and smiley after a cleaning. Because of their thoroughness and willingness

Look, I seldom go to the dentist. There's a considerable fear involved because previous dentists just never used enough anesthesia, so the experience has always been torturous for me. Unfortunately, my tooth broke, and after placing several calls, Marlo, the office manager, took mercy. Not only did she fit me in on an emergency basis, but they all stayed late to give me a temporary crown and they said they would come in over the weekend to fabricate a permanent one. Everyone there was caring and considerate. Dr. Hughes was kind, understanding, and made sure to give me adequate anesthetic; Marlo

Everyone has their opinion but the negative reviews I am seeing here are not accurate AT ALL. In fact they couldn't be more opposite from my experience with Dr. Hughes. I had an emergency issue in the middle of the night about six years ago. Found Dr Hughes online sent something in and they had me in the very next day. I have never been anywhere else. Kind and attentive staff, Hygienist is amazing, great care for all my needs over the years. Never had ONE SIGLE ISSUE. Dr. Hughes is fun funny makes conversation and sings a lot. I wont go anywhere else. Ever. Thanks Alta View

Unfortunately went to Dr Hughes for several years before I knew better. Questionable personal morals. Office staff are back stabbers, and quality of dental care leaves much to be desired. Several of my crowns were done poorly and had to be redone When I went to a new dentist his comment " who did this work?" When I told him he recommended me never to return. The bad job on my crown caused me to have the root canal. My husband had the same issue but with THREE of his crowns- lots of money to do root canals that would have not been needed had it been done right the first time. Also during procedure

After a horrible experience with my last dentist, a friend (and long time customer of Dr. Hughes) recommended Alta View Dental Care to me. I don't live in Sandy, but the short drive there was SO WORTH the trip!!!
Dr. Hughes over delivered! He was knowledgeable, accommodating, and made sure I was comfortable. I've never enjoyed going to the dentist but, I must admit, this was quite a pleasant experience - not to mention competitively priced! This dentist certainly lived up to his reputation, which is always a nice surprise. I would refer Alta View Dental Care to all of my friends
