This place is full of great women! I seriously hate going to the dentist but this was the most gentle teeth cleaning Ive ever had and they were very transparent with pricing and checked with my insurance before doing anything. Will be back!

If I could give them 6 stars, I would! Had the best experience at City Edge Dental. I have always hated the dentist prior to stepping into this office. I was so comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole appointment. Dr. Gula is amazing. She was warm, informative and very caring. Hygienist Monica did an incredible job on cleaning and whitening while being so nice and gentle. I will never go anywhere else for my dental needs, i wish i had found them sooner! Thank you Dr. Gula and staff!

The best experience I’ve had with a dentist’s office! From the receptionist to the dental assistant to the dentist herself it was a friendly and professional experience. They were very informative and went above and beyond to help me understand my insurance coverage.

I have spent the past two years trying different dentists in hopes of finding one that I felt provided excellent quality in a comfortable environment. After my cleaning appointment, I knew I had found what I was looking for in the past months. The office was clean and follows all the latest infection control recommendations, the staff was very welcoming, and Dr. Gula took her time to explain my treatment choices. I already have my next appointment!

Thank you and have a safe holiday weekend!
See you Monday.
Very good experience.
Dr Gula is very nice, informative and will give you as much “juice” as you need! (Novocain) she has already taken great care of some badly needed teeth fixing...
The office ladies are very nice and professional.
The office is very clean and welcoming.
I’m glad I found my new Dentist and crew. 👩‍🔬🤗

Dr. Gula is one of the worst dentist there could ever be. She is soo money hungry all she cares about is your money not your oral health. She will lie to you saying you need expensive treatment to take your money. She will over charge you and not tell you, she will charge the insurance company without even doing the treatment. She is a lier. Please find another dentist who will be honest with you and not rob you. Dr.gula does not follow the covid CDC regulations she coughs on her hands and not wash them. I don’t even know how she is a Dr. when she starts a crown on a patient and once she opens

This review is strictly for the inept office staff.


The very first visit something was wrong. They couldn't tell me any of my billing for fillings, braces, and a mouth guard. That someone would contact me. I work at an office so I know what it's like when you're short staff and people aren't properly trained, so I over looked it. Not a big deal, the service from the dental assistant was flawless and the doctor on duty told me I was grinding my teeth which shocked me. But no one ever contacted me about my benefits.

Then second visit they only booked me as a consult when I

This dentist will lie that that teeth are in worse condition than it actually is to get you to pay for expensive treatments not covered by insurance. I had 8 fillings done in Sept 2018, 5 out of those 8 have to be redone. 1 filling fell out during a routine cleaning. I have to go to another dentist to redo 4 more. I would never go here. These reviews are fraudulent. If you care about your teeth go to Roseroot Dental.

I came to City Edge last year. They ruined two of my teeth. Two filings cracked within a year. One filling took three tries to correct and in the end the filing made my teeth a lot

Complete scammer -Billed my insurance company telling them the work was done when it wasn't, also ruined a tooth of mine where she told me that a filling was old and needed replacing when in fact it never ever bothered me, and after she replaced I was in pain for months and then she was saying I need a root canal or to remove the tooth. NIGHTMARE DENTIST- don't even think about going here. Workers there also very unprofessional. I was about a bill I received and their answer Hey you signed the disclosure so you have to pay. Very rude and credit collector type of attitude. Stay away people

The worse service in recent memory. Physically walked into the office to schedule an appointment, one full month out. They took a copy of my insurance card and took down personal information. Asked the receptionist to please verify insurance coverage and to call me with any problems. Had to call them five days before my appointment to check on coverage, since no one called. All I got was, sorry we'll check and call you. Had to repeat my information, cause they didn't know have my info. Two days and two calls later was informed, yes your covered. Great, going to my Saturday 8am

I hate to bad mouth a place, but this is the worst dentist I have ever been to! I bought an in-house insurance plan that was around $245 and it included x-rays, 2 dental cleanings, a fluoride rinse, and 20% off future needs (cavaties etc). They refused to let me get my 2nd cleaning that was included in the plan I bought. They said it would be unethical to clean my teeth because I needed an $1,100 deep cleaning. I said that I wanted some type of reimbursement on the plan since they could not fufill all of their obligations. Dr. Gala was suppossed to call me to discuss the matter....guess who I never

I have been going to Dr. Gula for a year now for cleanings and a couple of fillings. I recently decided to have some cosmetic work done which has required several visits. Dr. Gula and Jenny are amazing. They are very detailed with their work and during procedures always checking to make sure I am comfortable. The office is very nice and everyone there is friendly and helpful!

I wish I would have read the reviews before going here. This was a very negative experience and a waste of my time. I came in for a cleaning and cavity. I was told that I needed a root canal, which I understand and accepted that I would need to go see another specialist. What I did not understand was that the dentist now did not have time to even do my cleaning and let me know this at 6, an hour and a half into my appointment. The office never took the time to call me in advance to let me know they wouldn't have time to perform the service. The person who worked at the front desk informed

Dr. Gula is a fine dentist that gives optimum care. Dr. Gula goes to great lengths to be certain the patient is pleased. A number of years ago Dr. Gula designed a treatment plan for me that took a good portion of her time and expertise. At this time the plan is close to it's completion.
Throughout the process dr. Gula stayed on top of the work that needed to be done and stayed involved. In addition, she is a compassionate individual who exemplifies a highly professional demeanor. I am highly satisfied and quite pleased with the work done by Dr. Gula. I highly recommend Dr. Gula as

Please do yourselves a favor and do not come here. This is your warning. There are plenty of dental offices out there. This office has horrible receptionists and I witnessed that for myself more than once. The receptionists do not keep up with new changes or policy changes. They have an attitude and terrible communication. They do not take responsibility for their actions. This job should be given to someone who actually cares about the patients and cares enough about the practice. It's evident that these receptionists hate their job.

You will get calls from them asking to reschedule literally

This place must be a scam for "deep gum cleanings". After my dentist moved to a new location that was to far for me to travel, I found City Edge from a google search and thought I would give it a try as they were close to where I lived. At the first (and only visit) that I scheduled in hopes to have my teeth cleaned I was told that they were just going to do a something like a consultation. I was very upset that I had taken off of work to get my regular cleaning and instead all they were going to do is do a consultation?

WARNING!!!! Do not go to City Edge Dental. I bought from Groupon the voucher to go in for x-rays, cleaning, and exam. First off, I had to wait 20 minutes after my appointment time before they got me into a room. Then I was told by the Tech the computer had to warm up before she could do the x-ray. After the x-ray another 10 min before Dr. Gula came in. She checked my teeth, and told me she could not do a regular cleaning, I had to do a deep cleaning for $700.00 because of my deep pockets, and they cannot do the regular cleaning. I always get my teeth cleaned at least once a year and have

Would not come back or would ever recommend this place to anyone! I went to do a checkup and a simple teeth cleaning. It was my first time there bc I couldn't get an app with my old doctor. This doctor Gula obviously want to make more money and want me to do the special deep cleaning and want to charge me around 700 which my insurance was not covered, my insurance just covered for a regular cleaning and basic exam. Of course I say no way- why would anyone pay that much money up front when you have literally sit there for 30 min, I didn't trust her and she was looking at my teeth literally

This is an update on City Edge Dental. Thank goodness they are under new management.
I had never planned to go there again till they called and told me there was a new dentist and I assume had read my first review of them and offered a free cleaning. I took them up on it but felt a tad awkward going there.
Suprise, surprise, Dr. Gula, the new owner seems quite nice and so did everyone else.
I honestly can't give 5 stars because I didn't have any work done there to judge them by.
I DO plan on going there again when I need some dental work done tho it's quite a drive from where

I wanted to write in to document what I have been going through for the past 2 months with City Edge Dental. I went in for a routine filling for a small cavity to find out that in the chair that Dr. Ziefert, my dentist of about 20 years, has retired suddenly and that I now had a new dentist that would take care of me from here forward. I was shocked and nervous, but figured everything would be okay.

After the first shot of novocaine, I heard Dr. Gula, the new dentist, tell the assistant that she poked herself with the novocaine needle after placement. Due to some pain I was feeling, Dr. Gula gave
