I have to say this office had the least professional billing experience I’ve encountered—and I've been to several dentists due to moving around frequently. When my insurance changed, I called ahead to confirm whether I'd need to pay anything out of pocket for my routine checkup. The front desk staff took my insurance information, assured me they'd check, and promised to call me back before my appointment. However, I never received a call. When I arrived for my appointment, the front desk staff informed me that they had looked into it online and found no difference between in-network and out-of-network coverage. Based on that information, I proceeded with my routine cleaning and even scheduled an appointment for my husband, who has the same insurance. Weeks later, I received a bill: $100 for my cleaning and $450 for my husband's first-time checkup (not even a cleaning!). When I called to inquire, the staff vaguely explained that it might be due to the office being out-of-network. They said they would follow up with the insurance company and get back to me. Yet again, I received no follow-up. I had to call back myself, and they asked if I could contact the insurance company directly. After speaking with my insurance company, I learned that the charges were due to the office being out-of-network, which caused the costs to exceed the allowed amount. When I asked how I could have known this beforehand, the insurance company explained that providers must check this information with them before the appointment to get an accurate breakdown. While I understand that the insurance website breakdown was somewhat misleading, I expected the dental office to handle this as part of their routine practice. I'm not aware of all the complexities with insurance, which is why I called ahead and provided my insurance details. That was the whole reason I reached out beforehand. This lack of professionalism and communication is frustrating. On the positive side, the staff were friendly, and my routine checkup went well. However, the billing experience left much to be desired, and I don't feel confident returning for future visits.

I've been with Dr. Nulph since he went into his private practice. He has a great support staff and he always informs you how things look, if there are possible upcoming issues and if there is an issue he presents you with options you can decide on. I've always felt comfortable going to his office.

As usual, I find this office very comfortable from the minute I walk in until I leave. Ashley greets me with a welcome smile and is more than willing to keep me company for the few minutes it takes until my appointment. This time a new, to me, dental assistant, Mary, was in charge of the cleaning. She was very competent. She explained gum recession, why some teeth seem to get more tartar than others, sensitivities and other concerns. She did this looking at me to see that I was understanding.... not while she was cleaning. This, of course, took more time, but there was never any indication that she had to hurry. Thank you great people!!!!

About Scenicview Dental

Scenicview Dental is a general dentistry practice in Yakima, Washington, offering dental implants along with a range of other services including preventive care, cosmetic dentistry, crowns and bridges, extractions, oral surgery, root canals, and teeth whitening. For patients missing one or more teeth, the practice places dental implants, titanium posts surgically positioned in the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root, which can then support a crown, bridge, or denture.

According to the practice, the specific requirements of each implant case are worked out between Dr. Nulph and either a periodontist or an oral surgeon, with the implant typically placed in one appointment and a follow up visit three to six months later to confirm it has fused with the bone before the final restoration is made. The practice describes its overall approach as helping patients build a long term plan for their oral health through an accurate assessment and open, honest discussion of treatment goals.

Meet the Doctors

The practice's clinical team is led by Dr. Emmett Nulph, DDS. Dr. Nulph grew up in West Valley, Yakima, earned degrees in Biology and English Literature from the University of Washington, completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Washington in 2006, and has practiced general dentistry in the area since then. He works alongside a team that includes registered dental hygienists and dental assistants to provide patient care.
