1488 Dental - The Woodlands (TX)

5 /5 Goro Kuraakai: Before I did business at 1488 dental, I was very skeptical. Everyone told me that the prices here were very high. The staff there were very assuring that those numbers were greatly exaggerated, and they got to work on my teeth. I went from having my teeth covered in dirty black cavities, to perfectly straight and white teeth. 1488 Dental was the final solution for my toothaches and ensured a future for my white smile.

5 /5 Kesi W: I had my tooth extracted here. Everyone was nice, good prices and quick services.

1 /5 Isidoor Bool: I went here a few years ago, recommended by my friend George who had a nasty infection in his gums and teeth, later spreading to his throat giving him difficulty breathing, apparently the infection took the knee when 1488 Dental took care of it. I think its a family owned business, started up back in the late 40s. Staff was very helpful in giving me the final solution to my own dental question. Teeth were as white as could be for a few years after, but some invasive brown issues have developed since then, when I went to see them again they said it was only natural, and that 50% of my issues were caused by the plaque covering 13% of my teeth. Regardless, the man with the funny hat told me that nothing was wrong, and it was only natural. Now my white mouth is being beaten and robbed by these black and brown stains. Hoping to visit another practitioner to get the problem gassed out and secure an existence and future for my white teeth. If I could rate lower I would, -109/110 stars.

5 /5 Christopher Stubbs: Before, my teeth were very crooked. Thankfully, 1488 dental properly secured "living-space" for my straight white teeth with braces, and all six million (((cavities))) were removed. Thank God, those cavities were so brown and disgusting. Their gassing technique was top notch. That was the final solution to my teeth problems, as Ill never have to visit the dentist again! Now Ill never lose my smile!

2 /5 L: Came here for an emergency root canal on 3/28/2025. Things seemed great at first…Scheduled an appt that morning and arrived early that afternoon. I was in the dental office chair for 6.5 hours. No exaggeration. By no means at all should a root canal have taken that long. Every single time I thought we were wrapping up there was something else that needed to be done. It would’ve been helpful if the endodontist relayed exactly what he was going to do before he actually did it. I had to ask for goggles to shield water,etc from going on my face and in my eyes. The endodontist also worked without an assistant and I was left unattended multiple times throughout the dental procedure when dental tools on and inside of my mouth. Communication is also poor. You will need to call both phones, leave emails and go back in office just to actually get prescriptions sent and answers to your dental questions. I had extreme facial swelling post procedure due to the numbing agent used and also from my mouth and how being open for such an extended period of time. You are not made a priority. I understand having to leave for personal emergencies unexpectedly but adequately relay that to patients. Communication is key! Dr. Okwen was caring and seemed like he was trying his best but more structure is required from the team overall to have a better patient experience. He couldn’t focus on the dental procedure bc he was helping the front desk every other minute and giving reminders throughout. That’s unacceptable. Front desk staff also needs more training. I’ll be honest, 1488 doesn’t give legitimate. At all. I didn’t want to have to write this detailed review but it’s necessary. That’s just the truth. This dental office also doesn’t accept any type of insurance or copay cards. Very expensive. I understand that there are “emergency” fees that are added on. I get it but excessive is excessive. I’m able to complete this review only because I finally received the numbing agent that was utilized I’m relaying to my general dentist that I had an allergic reaction to. A patient should not have to delay writing a review to ensure that previously requested dental information is adequately relayed. I gave this dental office a chance bc I was in need but I do NOT recommend and advise to go elsewhere for overall proper dental care. I was an actual dental patient at 1488 Dental and I am speaking on my actual experience.
