I've been going to Dr Fong since 2009 and I will tell you (as I have high standards for all of my well being Drs), Dr Fong IS THE BAR. Why do I say this: 1. He always has the most updated medical equipment on the market and is intentional about having the best for his patients 2. His and his staff's work has always been top quality for me and I've never had issues 3. He won't push you to do something that isn't needed and he will suggest when it is necessary for your well being 4. He is the NICEST most friendly man! 5. Setting appointments is easy. He does get booked up in advance but they always will work with you to find a time that works and will message you if they find a better time that suits you - proactive Dr! 6. His connections to other experts - he has a top notch network of other Drs who are at his same level. I had my gums graphed and it was A+ work 7. Did I mention he's the nicest guy? ;) 8. He TRULY cares about his patients. Authentic, connected and with high integrity. His new office is WOOOOOWWWWWWW! I'm so grateful I found him 14 years ago.

You'll get a brand new Nimbus toothbrush with every visit.

Dr. Fong and the two dental hygienists, Jennifer and Sheema, are the best I've worked with. I am so happy I found Dr. Fong and his team! We have been going to Advanced Dentistry for about 3 years now. Dr. Fong has state of the art equipment right on the premises. Dr. Fong is personable and very caring. I do not feel like I'm being upsold when I'm there and my teeth have never been better. In the past, at other dentist offices, the exams were mostly too rough, or too soft. Sheema has the perfect amount of pressure during cleanings that doesn't make me want to avoid coming back. When my mom needed new dentures, Dr. Fong was able to help her. He was gentle and made sure that she was super happy with the fit. Did I mention that the place is so awesome that my kids also love seeing Dr. Fong and also Sheema? My son has been seeing Dr. Fong since he was about 10 and my daughter since she was 13.

Very cozy & comfy waiting room

Review Update: regarding their prices!…read more I was reached out to by Adrienne who notified me that they had charged me thinking my insurance doesn't cover the full amount but turned out my insurance did cover a portion of the cost therefor they refunded me $164 and mailed the check to my home. It was nice of them to do that, and very ethical. I wouldn't have known. Thanks Adrienne and the team!

Dr. Arora is kind and empathetic. I never felt rushed or dismissed, and I want to say that up front…read morebecause it matters. Unfortunately, the quality of the dental work did not match the care I received. I had three root canals and crowns with him. Over the past couple of years, I have had ongoing problems with them. Two crowns on my lower right side fell off. One came out while I was still his patient, and his team graciously replaced it. After that, it came out two more times, at random moments while I was on business trips, which caused me pain and was very disruptive. I was later told that the issue wasn't the crown itself. Too much of the tooth had been removed, so the crown could no longer bond properly. That led to crown lengthening surgery, which I recently had to go through. I was also told there was a remaining infection at one of the root canal sites, which meant several rounds of antibiotics. Now I have to pay out of pocket to have crown lengthening and teeth crowned again. Reading the other reviews here, my experience echoes what many others have described. I genuinely liked his team, but after years of repeat problems, cost, and procedures, I can't recommend him for restorative work like root canals and crowns.

I was referred to this practice after having an unfortunate experience w/a dentist in RWC who was…read moreskilled but overly/unnecessarily aggressive in ordering procedures. I've always had healthy teeth, but had 2 unnecessary 'cavities' done there, w/more ordered on the way. Dr. Nabeta and Salcedo are top-notch dentists, who you can trust with your dental care. They are vigilent, providing objective guidance, while never pushing a procedure on me. I recently got a crown done here, and Dr. Nabeta was expert, gentle and efficient in the procedure and made sure to follow-up in after care. I also love Al, my hygenist here! The best hygenist I've had in my life! Gives me pro tips in a motivating, non-judgemental way every time I come in. All three of them continue to teach, and stay up-to-date on the latest in dental research and technology. And all three are gentle, kind practitioners, w/a skilled touch acquired over many years of practice. Lastly, their office is clean and bright, w/the latest equipment, and they took the the upmost of precautions during covid. Love coming to this practice and giving my teeth the very best in care!

I was referred to his office by an oral suregon for a simple filling. they were provided x rays yet they decided to have me go there and take exrays and get an exam that was not asked for. scheduled me for for weeks out and then changed the appointment to 7 am so I went down. just to have Nabeta say we only have 15 minutes as I arrived at 705. rather then do any work he started asking me strange questions that were not related to a cavity fix and since I had another appointment. he clearly didnt want to do anything in the morning.

Dr. Nelson does a great job of explaining each procedure that can be taken and what he recommends…read more He is very thorough in collecting information about you before coming up with all available alternatives for treatment (and also communicating if you need treatment at all). I also appreciate how transparent he is on estimated costs before doing any treatment. I additionally appreciate that he does a zoom appointment before meeting in person to make things more efficient and does the zoom appointment at no charge. For the gum graft itself, Dr. Nelson did a terrific job of working with my pain tolerance on taking local anesthesia such as deep breaths beforehand, explaining exactly what he will do, and placing it in a speed that matches my comfort. The procedure itself was complete smooth sailing from there, he provides detailed post op instructions and contact information for assistance between the surgery and follow up.

was a patient with Dr. Daniel Nelson about 10 years ago. He did 4 implants for me. 2 years ago my…read moreimplant #14 had fallen out. As a result Dr.Nelson voluntarily gave me $1950 as compensation. This year my #3 implant has also fallen out. Having 2 implants fall out is very RARE according to the other dentists that I spoke with. He did poor work. So please be careful when you decide to choose Dr.Nelson. In the meantime I will be reporting to California dental board and BBB.

If you'd told me a few years ago I'd love an oral surgeon, I'd have laughed my head off. But here I…read moream, several procedures and years later, and I'm writing a 5-star review for Dr. Hoghooghi. I came here to deal with a broken tooth prior to getting Invisalign treatment and ultimately get a dental implant. Dental implants can't move like teeth do, so you have to have your teeth stable before getting an implant. The consultation was excellent, and he answered all my questions. I chose to receive anesthesia for the extraction, and it was great once you get past the IV part. Afterwards I had no swelling or complications--I compulsively followed instructions and asked questions for anything I need clarification on. He said to contact him two months prior to completion of Invisalign, so I did that and after a consultation we scheduled the dental implant post installation. I chose to stay awake for this with local anesthetic. The procedure was kind of bizarre and felt surreal, but I got through it! We scheduled an appointment for a few months later to ascertain that bone had grown around the implant sufficiently. A few months later and yes, it's ready! I can now get the new tooth/crown from my dentist. When you consider how disagreeable some dental work can be, it is super helpful to have someone so thoroughly competent plus easy to talk to as Dr. Hoghooghi is. I highly recommend him if you need oral surgery. Here's his background: https://www.paomfs.com/meet-us/dr-alexander-hoghooghi/

Dr, Hoghooghi presented me with all of my alternatives for restoration including implants, bridge, and dentures. He patiently answered all of my questions. I decided to have Dr. Hoghooghi surgically remove the tooth and implant. My prosthodontist will install the bridge. I found D. Hoghooghi's work to be excellent as were his highly professional staff. I highly recommend him.
