Golpa Mike, DDS

This is one of the nicest dentistry offices ive seen. He really put in the effort to make the place look professional it seems. Some dentistry offices in town look like holes in the wall. I had him do some work for myself as well as my mother who had veneers put in.
I would totally mention any flaws with the veneers
They do not look fake at all. They are super natural. Some places put veneers that belong on a horse. Lol they key is how they install them and where they order them from. Obviously, he knows what he is doing.
This is the place to come for those complicated procedures that not everyone is capable of doing. This is not the place for a $ 50 tooth extraction haha

I’ve received many messages from people asking if my review is real — YES ! I posted another review on this doctors other Unilocal title «GOLPA DENTAL IMPLANTS», please read it if your trying to decide if having the ALL ON FOUR procedure is for you. My Doctor Golpa review’s are completely true, he changed my life. ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP AND IS TRYING TO DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO DO THIS PROCEDURE AND OR ASK ABOUT THIS DOCTOR I AM HAPPY TO TALK TO! If your having failing teeth and your in pain, I’ve been in your shoes and I wish someone had been there for me to talk to so I’m happy to be able to help!!! Write me and I’ll answer any questions about my experience. If you’ve already decided to do implants and are just trying to figure out what doctors to use then I strongly suggest you look into Dr. Golpa for all the reasons I stated in my other review. Price, caring quality — all the very best you could ever hope for! And I’m taking extra efforts to let people know about this doctor because he was the only doctor in the U.S. that I found with affordable rates, and if I can help make someone else get the care they need, like I got, then it’s my way of showing how thankful I am for this doctor and his decency for providing this service at rates so much cheaper than every other U.S. Dentist!!! Dr. Golpa was HALF THE PRICE of what my two local doctors had quoted me for the exact same procedure. AND THE FINAL RESULT FOR ME IS PERFECTION! As far as figuring out if this is the right treatment for you, after months of research for me it was clear — this procedure was the only way to go. After paying out a small fortune for several root canals and caps at $ 3,000 each tooth (THATS INSANE!) only to have more pain then more teeth fail and a few months later then more pain more root canals and on and on — I knew this problem was not going to stop. Looking at what options there are and what I wanted for my long term dental health and appearance, I made the choice to get the ALL ON FOUR implants as it addressed all the issues and I knew I’d be healthier in general. The overall health benefit was a big factor as I have an impaired immune system from a childhood illness and I am susceptible to infections. My gum disease was not getting better, the pain was excruciating and I knew bad dental health would result in other far more serious health issues with time. The ALL ON FOUR procedure seemed to address all of this, so for me, this was the absolute right treatment. But I had no idea how hard it was going to be to find a doctor I could afford and trust. It was so depressing going from a beautiful smile to suddenly failing teeth, between the pain, the cost, the appearance and then the inability to enjoy eating freely — this problem was ruining my life and changing me as a person. But what do you do if you can’t afford the solution? Figuring out how to fix my health issue became something that depressed me even more when I was being told it was going to cost $ 65,000 and $ 75,000 CASH! I don’t have dental insurance. Thank god I believed I would find a better solution than traveling to Costs Rica or Mexico if I kept looking. I’m sure there are good doctors in some of these places but the risk of traveling so far to a place where these doctors are not licensed and no regulations, and then after watching the TV show BOTCHED, where you learn the horror stories of many people who have had bad surgical procedures by traveling over the boarder to save money on a procedure — THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING OUT OF THE COUNTRY. But I understand — when your desperate to get medical help and you have limited funds these destinations rates, start looking very appealing. After MONTHS of looking, I started to think I was never going to find an American doctor that I could afford. Finding Dr. Golpa and his financing was a gift from God. Like many of you, when the time came to actually do the procedure, I was terrified but I promise, it’s truly painless — and so worth doing! THERE IS AN ADJUSTMENT PERIOD after the procedure but it’s fairly quick and your smile will look beautiful immediately. The adjustment is mostly in your head as you get use to how the bridge feels in your mouth, your head will catch up quickly. Im going back in January for an adjustment and I’m upgrading to a Zirconium upper because they look even better and feel even more natural. My only negative was that I had incredible swelling the first week and bruising, but within a week that all went away. But again it was NOT PAINFUL! Last if you call their office you’ll probably talk to Carlos, he will answer any questions and you’ll immediately see what I’m trying to convey about this group of people, you can tell they truly care! So, if I can help, write me, I’m happy to answer any questions you have. Wishing you all good luck in what ever you decide, I hope your final choice makes you as happy as I am with Dr. Golpa and my ALL ON FOUR treatment

To be clear, I have not had implants done by Dr. Golda, nor am I a competitor. Ironically, after more research, I may decide to have my implants done by him. There are MANY things about his practice that puts up red flags for me: He was sanctioned by the Nevada Denal Board in 2013 and required to complete additional courses in record keeping and in dental implants (looks like two verified patient complaints in 2012). Additionally, when I called to set my appointment, she actually wanted a $ 5,000 phone deposit (to schedule surgery even prior to my first visit). When I balked at this, she would only agree to initial consultation if I paid a $ 500 non-​refundable deposit prior to visit (all other practices I have called offer free cat-​scan and initial consultation). I would have gladly paid this, had I been able to verify his credentials, which sadly I was not. The person scheduling appt. (Keally, I believe her name was) told me TWICE that Golpa was an oral surgeon. I can find NO verification of this. His «work» under a Dr. Mola who supposedly developed this zygot all-​in-​4 procedure (I could have the wrong name), that has an institute out of New Jersey, has no means to verify validity of Golpa.

Dr. Golpa has been my dentist for over 10 years. I have never been so disappointed in a doctor as a patient until just recently when I scheduled an appt. for a broken tooth, and what I thought was a broken filling. After taking off work with special request and sacrificing 2 hours of prime sales time at work to have him fix my tooth, after an hour getting there, x-​rays and waiting, he sends his assistant to tell me «they don’t take insurance patients anymore.» She informed me the cost was $ 1000 for a porcelain inlay. I was beyond upset — the time to tell me this was not when I was sitting in his chair, it should have been when I called to make the appt. I bought special PPO insurance just to go to him. I decided to make an appt. at another dr. that took my insurance. Dr. Golpa did not even bother to come look at the tooth when I told his assistant I was in pain, he just wrote a scrip for pain meds. When I finally got another appt. at a dentist (emergency appt.) Saturday because I was in so much pain they sent me home from work Friday night early, I was told that an inlay (filling) was not even needed. This dentist showed me pictures of the lacerations under my tongue that the broken tooth with a jagged edge had caused, and simply filed it down in 5 minutes. Dr. Golpa could have done this in 5 minutes. Instead he wanted money, and didn’t give a shit about a loyal patient for 10 years who has sent him referrals upon referrals. Dr. Golpa if you end up reading this, you have shown the worst side of what success can do to a professional. You care nothing about the people who have made you successful. You care only about your money. Don’t go to this dentist, his staff since Rachel left are all idiots and Dr. Golpa will leave you with a knife cutting the inside of your mouth instead of helping you, and then try charging you for something you don’t even need. SHAME, that’s all I can say.
