As I am reading through these other reviews, it makes me wonder if there isn't some type of bad…read morereview sabotage going on. I have heard that happens so hopefully my honest review can help others fairly evaluate this business. Since my last review in 2022, I have gotten 4 implants at Pebble Beach Dental. All the work to achieve this was completed by Dr. Erickson. I am a private pay customer, and I have appreciated the payment option provided by Pebble Beach Dental. I just returned home from my bi-annual cleaning, and my oral health is good and stable. I have had bridges removed as the anchor teeth failed and after a time of healing two implants on either side of mouth have been placed. The ability to eat and chew without pain has vastly improved my quality of life. I am really surprised by the negative statement made about the office manager, Stephanie. We have met and spoken both casually and around business over the last 4 years and never have I experienced anything remotely as is being said in these reviews. She is neither petty, dismissive or unprofessional to me nor have I seen her be that with other patients. One would think that if that were her behavior, I would have experienced it as well in this length of time. Something I believe strongly is that no one can make me feel anything. Depending on my perspective and my own state of mind is how I will receive and reaction to any given situation. Please do not these negative reviews prevent you from seeking care at this business as it is at the top of the scale in terms of ability, character, and quality.

While I appreciate the clinical care provided by the dental staff, my experience with the office…read moremanager Stephanie, has been very disappointing. After reading other reviews, I realize I am not alone in these concerns. When I raised questions regarding my treatment and scheduling, I felt that my concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. The office manager's communication felt very mean and unprofessional; rather than listening to the patient's perspective, she seemed more focused on defending the practice and the lack of time for appointments. I was provided with inconsistent information, which left me feeling frustrated and misled. Instead of working toward a collaborative solution, I felt pressured and unheard. Patients deserve to be treated with respect, honesty, and empathy. I truly hope the office takes this feedback seriously and prioritizes improving its patient communication and customer service.

I had a full exam and cleaning at the Smile Time Dental location in Citrus Heights. in May 2026…read more PART 1: EXCEPTIONAL + I was grateful for the team, from the receptionist to the x-ray technicians to the dentist, who were extremely friendly, professional, and skilled at what they did. I would give this place a 4.5 stars out of 5 stars. It was clear that place a premium on helping their clients. PART 2: CAN IMPROVE - I would have given 5, however the dental hygienist who came to floss my teeth simply did not know how to floss. No getting the string in between the teeth and moving up and down each adjacent tooth. At times, she skipped teeth; at others, she got the floss in between and did one side but rather than lift the string up, she cut across to the adjacent tooth hitting the gum, which I didn't appreciate. If she observes other hygienists and practiced on even herself or the staff, she would better understand how to floss.

I scheduled a routine dental cleaning that was fully covered by my insurance. However, I was…read moreinformed that I also needed a gel application treatment that would cost an additional $100 out of pocket. Despite having healthy gums, I was told the office would not perform the standard cleaning unless I agreed to purchase this additional treatment, and declining it was not presented as an option.

BEWARE: The front office & billing staff is passive aggressive and impatient (screenshots for…read morereference). I was referred for a gum graft and paid $1.4k out of pocket on the day of surgery. A billing staff member who identified herself as Erin told me that my primary insurance (Delta) had overpaid and the insurance company typically refunds the credit to the patient. When I contacted my primary insurance, they told me this does not happen. I was then told by the same billing staff member that the office - not the insurance - would be issuing the refund, contradicting what I had previously been told. During this process, I received a voicemail from them instructing me to stop contacting my insurance and let the office "handle it" as that would be "in my best interest"?? When I asked for an invoice or itemized statement to understand the charges and credit on my account, I was told that invoices are not provided. And to top it off, I have to get 2/4 teeth revised (without IV anesthetic which the office will not cover) because half the gum graft was unsuccessful.

My disabled husband has been visiting this office, and we have encountered difficulties with the…read morefront office staff, who have been less than courteous. He missed two appointments this year due to health and medication he is on, and upon realizing this, he proactively called to apologize and even offered to pay for the missed sessions. The staff assured him it was fine and expressed understanding and rebooked him to come in today at 9:30am. Today, when he arrived for his scheduled appointment, he was informed that it had been canceled, and that a message had been left for him. We did not receive any messages or missed calls from them. He told the receptionist that and her reply was "OH" that's all she said like she knew they didn't call him. When he attempted to reschedule, he was informed that due to the previously missed appointments, he would need to pay $200 upfront for the next session. ODD why didn't they say that before? Makes no sense to us. The demeanor of the staff during this interaction was unprofessional, as it appeared that today's visit was intentionally scheduled as a sort of payback for his previously missed appointments, they never intended to see him and planned to waste his time just to tell him that and smirk while doing so. Not a great way to treat a patient. So unprofessional.

My wife and I have been going here for years and have nothing but nice things to say. Until today…read more Firstly, the staff are very helpful, patient and professional. I don't hold anyone there responsible for the recent experience. The one drawback I have to mention is my latest experience that culminated today. An Ai bot, (at the time I didn't know it was Ai) asked to schedule a cleaning and checkup for me over text and I agreed. It scheduled me for today, July 10th. The bot never notified the staff about it. I showed up and the people at the front desk were at a loss as to why I was there. We finally figured out it was an Ai bot. To the people making decisions about Ai in this, and all other establishments, quit it with the Ai already. It's making things worse not better. Katie, the Ai bot at CH Dental, you suck. Everyone else at CH Dental, you rock. I would normally leave a 5 star review but today I'm taking off a star because of the decision to use Ai at this establishment.
