I was looking for a dentist close to me and Dr. Bossetts name came up. I made an appointment for two months ahead and had my previous dentist send my xrays. When I arrived to the office the receptionist said I didn't have an appointment and she had never heard of me. I told her my dentist had sent my xrays and she said she could not find them. I think this office is very disorganized and I have found another dentist. read more

Dr Bossett is one of the best dentists I've ever seen. He has a charming and gentle personality and a professional demeanor that puts me at his. His staff are amazing, always friendly and extremely competent. His work has been excellent. He even steered me toward wiser and more affordable alternatives to implants that have radically improved my life in a short period of time. And they worked with a couple of different dental insurance plans easily, handling all the necessary red tape. I would highly recommend Dr Bossett. His practice his top notch. read more

The best, honest, good job, very friendly. Nice customer service. His team is the best.. Se los recomiendo.

I was new to the Bay Area last year and was searching for a new dentist. I found the dental office of Dr. Charles Bossett in Oakland. Although it was about a 30 mins away, I was willing to make the drive due to the excellent reviews. Now that I have experienced the treatment firsthand at this dental office, I can say that it has been one of the absolute best dental visits I have ever had! My Dental Hygienist was Damaya. She was AMAZING! She gave me the BEST DENTAL CLEANING EVER! And the best dental advice EVER! And the best patient bedside manner EVER! Along with the receptionist, the customer service, friendliness, and thoroughness of this dental office was much appreciated! I would highly recommend. read more

Excellent care every time. I moved out of the area but I still make the drive for my appointments.

Whewww I think her name is Damaya Hodges but either way she got my teeth looking like veneers ‍ they are white and clean and i love her work!! She explained to me what to do after my deep cleaning and I really appreciate this practice! I was referred by a co- worker and since doing here I have seen my gums and teeth improve read more

Customer service was ok. I only came here a few times for cleanings, and left because I was told on my 2nd visit that I couldn't see the Dr!! That's odd. Every dentist I've ever seen always comes to check my mouth after the hygienist is done. I was told that he only sees the patient once a year. Anything can happen in a yr... I'm not paying insurance premiums to see my dentist annually. I was also due for x-rays, which I was expecting to have that day. They wanted me to come back in a few weeks for that. I don't live close and gas isn't .99/gal, so I wasn't coming back just for that. I kept being asked about 50 times throughout my visit to turn my head right, left, up, down...Of course I don't mind turning my head to make the job easier, but again, I'd never been instructed so many times to move my head! lol. She moved my chair up/down throughout both visits too. I'm used to being stationary in the chair. I also didn't like my lips being greased up 3 times during my visit. Never experienced that. I could see using a LITTLE on the lips in the beginning and that's it, but dang! I was gonna say somethin' on my next visit, but I never came back. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Bossett's office for your dental care. I had my teeth cleaned by Demaya today and she is wonderful! She gave me very useful patient education to support my dental health. She taught me how to floss properly, which is so helpful and not something any of the previous dental hygienists I've had has shown me. She went above and beyond and has an incredibly gentle approach to cleanings. I will keep coming back here, they are such a lovely team. I met Dr. Bossett for a few minutes and he was warm and put me at ease and came up with a plan for my care going forward. Nicole was very kind and helpful and let me know what my insurance coverage plan was. The whole team is lovely! I'm so glad I found them!! read more

You get your moneys worth!! The entire staff is very friendly and good at what they do! My teeth have never been cleaned so throughly ever in my life and I've been going to the dentist since I was a child! read more

I have been going to Dr. Bossett for my dentistry care for years. He is competent, caring and provides care with the utmost integrity. I have referred many friends and family members to him. He is the best. read more

Dr. Bossett is absolutely an expert dentist. My daughter, mom, and me can all attest to his professionalism in both care and demeanor. Kudos to the team as well..I am not the best patient.. I miss appointments and sometimes end up with a worse problem... each time I leave feeling well taken care of. He's really the best! Mama Andrea read more

Dr. Bossett has been my dentist for nearly 20 years and I couldn't be more pleased with his care and his dental team. I've had crowns and veneers done by Dr. Bossett and a few cavities too. He is a great guy and well worth putting your trust in his care. Best, Robert read more

I can't say enough about how amazing and wonderful of a dentist Dr. Bossett is. I referred my husband and good friend to him and they both still thank me for turning them on to such a caring professional. Dr. Bossett is more than a dentist but someone that I look up to both professionally and personally. He is a committed family man that talks lovingly about those closest to him and treats his staff like family. Everyone in the office is very kind and attentive. I will never forget when I called Dr. Bossett two days before my wedding in tears because the lab that my mothers dentist uses messed up her dentures and was unable to give her a tooth replacement for my wedding. Her dentist offered NO solutions but Dr. Bossett (who was not my moms dentist and had never even seen her) fixed the problem. He told me everything was going to be okay and calmed me immediately. Dr. Bossett gave my mom an affordable temporary replacement and basically saved my wedding. He is a dentist that goes above and beyond. I can never repay him for this wedding gift. read more

Not very happy with my entire crown and post falling out today. I've been telling. Him for more than six months that there was a cavity below the gum line. Due to a facial trauma as a teen there always issues. My deep root cleaning was 3 months ago and I follow care rules. This is so unacceptable. This is second root canal with issues. The previous root canal on a canine tooth failed twice and cracked in half. Than one went thru a full extraction. Yes I know I have periodontal issue but damn, I need this work to last at least a decade. Not happy at all. read more

Best teeth cleaning experience ever! Bosset's dental hygienist was amazing. She's got a gift for this task and has turned it into an art form. It feels like a spa treatment, that's how good it is! I like how clear she is at explaining everything, how thorough and helpful this office is. I look forward to the next visit. read more

I just started going to Dr. Bossett last year...best decision ever!! The office is clean and the staff is extremely professional. As previous posts have stated I hadn't been to the dentist because I DON'T LIKE PAIN!. Not to worry. The hygienist was extremely gentle...she even put vaseline on my lips to keep them from getting dry...who does that! Mae, the office manager is very nice, professional and helped me with all of the paperwork. The dental assistant is amazingly sweet and knows what she's doing. Now on to the Man himself...Dr.Bossett. What can I say; Professional, intelligent, insightful, extremely knowledgeable, gentle, friendly and did I mention gentle. My entire experience with this staff has been nothing but pure joy and I'm no longer afraid of the dentist. Kudos to a top-notch staff read more

I've been to a lot of dentists and Dr. Bossett and his office staff and hygenists are top notch. I've been deathly afraid of the drills and sounds of the dentist office, so I avoid going (it doesn't, however, stop me from eating cookies, pies, and cakes). With Dr. Bossett, I can't wait for my appointments. A genuinely nice guy with great "bedside" manners! I seriously look forward to my cleanings, actually just had one and I was there EARLY! read more

I've known of Dr. Bossett for over 10 years but would go to him because I was to embarrassed about the condition of my teeth. In that period of time I had at least two other dentist with the last one located in a fancy Piedmont Ave office. Well after that last dentist left me with more problems than I went in with, I decided to go see Dr. Bossett. I know now that had I gone to Dr. Bossett 10 years ago, I would not be in the shape I am today. But, I'm happy to say that in the last couple of months he's done more than the last few years of other dentists. As the other reviewers have stated, he's friendly and caring. His staff mirror his chair side manor. His prices are reasonable and he is honest and does his best to educate you about what he's doing. He is a fantastic dentist. read more

Dr. Bossett, Mae, Demaya, Nicole l have been a patient here for over ten years and the office staff and hygienists are top notch.

I needed a dentist a little over 20 years ago and I was walking past Dr. Bossett's office and I poked my head in to see if it felt right and it did. Dr. Bossett has done phenomenal work for me ever since. I have had quite a few crowns, veneers, and a bridge done, not to mention a handful of cavities over the years. I promise I brush my teeth and floss. Not enough for my dental hygienist though who has been taking care of me for years here too. The entire team at Dr. Bossett's office is stellar and always makes me feel welcome. Every visit is like seeing wonderful friends I've known for years. All by saying I'm sure you will enjoy visiting Dr. Bossett's office and will appreciate the great work they do for you. Robert read more

EXCELLENT dentist. Very fair with pricing and always pleasant. He is knowledgeable and has the uncanny ability to make anyone feel comfortable. read more

Far and away the best dentist I've ever had. Very thorough and is clearly now out to cheat you out of your money. for example, I went to Dr. Andrew Cheung and he said I had 15 cavities along with other things. I upgraded my insurance, and went to Dr. Bossett and he said I had 2. His Hygenist is the most thorough i've had and if you're looking for a good, honest office you should go here. He is African-american so if that scares you then this is not the office for you. read more

I had an amazing experience here today- the doctor and staff were friendly and so efficient. I felt so comfortable with Dr. Bossett and appreciated how he explained what he was doing. I was also amazed at how quickly he finished my filling. I will definitely return. Thank you! read more

I love Dr. Bossett and his staff! I was avoiding going to the dentist because I needed to find a new dentist and was so scared. Dr. Bossett, and his hygienist both gave me PAINLESS shots and put me at ease during multiple visits. Everyone who works there is so organized and friendly. I cannot say enough nice things about the whole office. read more

I have been going to Dr. Bossett for a number of years and this is my daughter's first and only dentist. The hygienist is amazing and Dr. Bossett is great! We always feel very comfortable and look forward to our appointments. They are very helpful and nice! I highly recommend Dr. Bossett and his team! read more

This is the best damned dentist out there. I've been going to Dr. Bossett for 15 years now. I chose him after seeing his ad in the yellow pages and it caught my eye because it said something silly like "Catering to Cowards is Our Specialty." Well, I'm the biggest damned chicken there is. I had a lot of bad dental experiences over the years involving needles (to deal with my numerous cavities) so I wanted someone who could baby me. I am so glad I went because I've never looked back. Dr. Bossett used to have an office in Berkeley a couple of blocks from campus so it was convenient for me to see him while I was in school but he was such a great dentist that I followed him when he moved his office to Oakland. Dr. Bossett is the sweetest, nicest guy on the planet. Very friendly. He has headphones that I can listen to so I don't have to hear the scary sounds of dental instruments. He doesn't use needles and instead has a gel anesthetic. He explains what he's doing and options for treatment. The regular cleanings and exams always go great. I've survived a deep cleaning. He's seen me through the removal of all 4 of my wisdom teeth which was performed flawlessly by his referral Dr. Murphy unlike my boyfriend's hack dentist who jacked up his wisdom extraction leading to follow up visits to correct stuff. He's seen me through veneers - I hated my crooked ass teeth. They were never crooked enough to need braces but they were horribly uneven and misshapen so Dr. Bossett suggested veneers and they turned out looking fantastic. I wasn't afraid to smile anymore. I used to do a closed mouth smile so no one would see my jacked up teeth but now I happily do a toothy smile. He also saw me through a nightguard to deal with my teeth grinding. He noticed my teeth were getting some extensive wear and determined I was grinding my teeth at night. Now my teeth are protected and I don't wake up with headaches. The staff is super friendly. They're great at checking in and following up on things and scheduling regular appointments. Dr. Bossett is definitely on my short list of people who are never allowed to retire because I need them around for the rest of my life. read more

First, I am afraid of going to the Dentist. Second, did I mention that I'm really afraid of Dentists. Having said this, I went to see Dr. Bossett a couple of weeks ago. I was referred by the office of Dr. Denise Bass-Allen (my daughter's dentist for years). I wanted a Dentist who had the sensitivity of a pediatric dentist....except worked well with adult patients. My own previous dental experiences weren't so great. Although I was smiling outwardly, inwardly I was a scared. I was expecting some form of pain (having not seen a dentist in over 2 years). That was not the case. The Hygienist worked quickly and I didn't feel a thing (without anesthesia). Dr. Bossett was exceptional, explaining the process (which was minimal) ..and painless. Even the receptionist and billing administrators were warm and friendly. But here is the greatest compliment. I walked out smiling, feeling sort of good. I hadn't walked two blocks on pill hill when someone complimented me on my smile. I'd made it to my car & looked at my smile in my mirror. It looked great. I didn't notice that my teeth had been polished as well. If you need a great Dentist....this is the place. read more
