About Alameda Dental
Alameda Dental has worked out of the same East Alameda Avenue address in City Center North since 2015, a short drive west of the Aurora Municipal Center and easy to reach from anywhere along the Alameda corridor. Dr. Casandra Barnes leads a general practice with a deliberately wide menu, the kind of office that would rather treat three generations of one family than send each of them somewhere different.
Implants are the heaviest treatment in the building, full arches included, and the arithmetic behind a full arch is worth following before you price one. It does not put an implant where every tooth used to be. Four fixtures carry a single rigid bridge spanning the jaw, and that works because the bridge shares load between them, not because four posts are individually stronger than eight. The consequences are practical. The bridge normally stops around the second premolar, so you end up with roughly ten to twelve teeth per arch rather than fourteen, and pushing it further back on a cantilever is exactly what strains the rearmost fixture. There is no spare capacity either: with four supports, losing one is a structural problem rather than an inconvenience. Single implants, crowns, and conventional dentures and partials all stay on the menu, and which route makes sense depends on how many teeth are gone, how much bone is left to work with, and what you are prepared to spend. None of that is answerable before X-rays.
Everything else is ordinary family dentistry, and there is a lot of it: cleanings and exams, tooth-colored fillings, clear aligner orthodontics, veneers and whitening, TMJ treatment, oral surgery, and sedation for patients who need it. Emergencies are handled with same-day calls, which is the difference between a cracked molar seen on Tuesday morning and a week spent on ibuprofen. Tuesday and Thursday start at ten and run to seven in the evening; Monday and Wednesday are the eight-to-five days, and Friday finishes at three. There are no Saturday hours, so a weekend problem waits for Monday. On money, ask about plan participation and payment arrangements when you book rather than at the end of the appointment, and get implant estimates in writing, since grafting and the number of fixtures move the total more than anything else does.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Bait and switch tactics used on self pay customers. Came in with EXTREME pain and they scheduled me WITHOUT providing an estimate. Then refused to provide service when I could only afford 2/3rd of payment. Front desk says remainder can be paid when permanent crown gets put on. Then finance lady ( here comes the scam) says we won't provide service unless paid in full. It's a ripoff. EXORBITANT PRICING. STAY FAR AWAY!!!
Ive been with them for 8 years and this placed used to be good. I recently got a filling and my tooth was hurting afterwards, and I went back to get it checked out and they didn’t fix it. I just went to another dentist and they fixed it and I no longer have a pain. My new dentist was surprised they let me out of the place with how my filling was done. I’m changing dentists and will no longer recommend this place to friends and family.
Thank you Alameda Dental for saving my smile! I have had the best experience after a not so pleasant experience with another clinic. Your attention to detail and compassionate care is so appreciated!
Staff are kind, always on time for the appointments I schedule, and the location is fairly convenient. Latrice was my most recent dental assistant, and she was excellent. She explained every process, was wonderful to chat with, and was attentive to any pain or discomfort I may have been in. She is what every DA should strive to be, sets a high standard, but also speaks to the staff this facility attracts. Dr. Grigg is my dentist and is relatable, attentive, and makes the process easy. He is also wonderful with his staff as he is with his patients. I would recommend this dentist practice. Thank you for all you do!
Not the same dental office it used to be. Under new ownership and it’s obvious. The worst dental experience I’ve ever had. I was shook by it. I had the most excruciating cleaning experience ever. I also had three wisdom teeth pulled that same day. I was awake during the extraction. It took about an hour to have them all pulled. During my follow up visit I walked out during my appointment frustrated by the overall lack of professionalism, poor experience, disregard for my time and poor communication. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Anyway, I no longer recommend this dental office.
My experience here has been outstanding. Every interaction I’ve had with this office has been respectful, organized, and caring. The front desk staff was welcoming, the clinical team was knowledgeable, and the provider took the time to truly listen and explain my options. I felt informed, supported, and confident in my care. No office is perfect for every single person, but based on my experience, this team consistently delivers professionalism and compassion. I’m grateful to have found a dental office I trust and will continue to recommend.
I do not recommend this clinic. Unfortunately, my experience was very poor. During a cleaning, my teeth were damaged, and afterward, food got stuck between them. Later, a root canal and crown procedure caused a fracture in one of my teeth. Another dentist advised extraction due to their mistake. Additionally, during one visit, I was given too much anesthetic, which caused my heart rate to spike, and I felt unsafe. I am also concerned about the materials used. Based on my experience, I cannot trust this clinic and I do not recommend it!
