I had the best experience going here. I am a new patient, but I have a lot of work that I have to get done. I've gotten Quite a bit of work done already. Over the last few months. Most of the time people dread going to the dentist me included. However I look forward to my appointments because I know that he's going to do a good job working on my teeth. Even when he uses numbing agents in my mouth, the only part that's numb is the tooth that he's working on. I never have to worry about my whole mouth being numb for the rest of the day after going to the dentist. I've never experienced that ever going to a dentist office. The energy in that office is wonderful. They have awesome customer service here, they really care about their patients. On my first visit he explain things to me that most people should already know about their teeth but don't, basic stuff that they probably learn in dental school that most of us don't know. Something even as small as how to floss my teeth properly. I feel that I'm in good hands. I hope that he will be my dentist as long as his business is around which I am sure are many years to come. I really love going to this dental office. He is very personable, very kind, very mild mannered. And answers all my questions and concerns. I am so happy to go here and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an outstanding dentist. I am grateful for the work that he's done so far. read more

By far my favorite dentist to date. I love that he does everything so he is very thorough.

I have been coming to Dr. Dale since I moved to the area 11 years ago! I have never been happier with a dentist. I referred my Mom, Dad, daughter and Grand-Daughter as well as my land lord and friend and her husband! All of us feel the same way about Dr. Dale and Elana! I love that he does all the work himself including the cleaning. I love that I am the only patient in the chair and he doesn't have other's waiting in the rooms next to me! He doesn't try to up-sell you on anything! He always has great stories to share while he is working on me. His rates are such that I never have to pay more then my insurance allows. That hasn't always been the case with other dentists from the past! My family, friends and I feel like we have a family dentist forever! Thank you Dr. Stanec! read more

Great experience. Doctors wife runs front office and assisting. This is a patient inclusive environment where you will not feel like another number. Went in for a cleaning with x-rays. Received a hygiene bag (floss, toothpaste, toothbrush) which is very unusual these days. It's hard to find a office where I'm not being forced to empty my pockets.. read more

I don't trust these people AT ALL. When I was first considering them as my dentist the first question I had for them was whether or not they would accept my insurance. They said they did, but that turned out to be an outright lie. So they had me on the hook, and after signing what seemed like 12 pages of legal documents I was on the way to the dental chair for what they told me was going to be a free checkup. It is a husband and wife team doing all the work at this place with no other employee's. The Dentist (Dr. Stanec) talks AT you but not TO you, and his demeanor made me uncomfortable. His wife is the receptionist. If you try to ask questions she will be quick to make up whatever story is necessary to shut you up and get you into the chair so they can get on with their money making processes. So they tag-teamed me to push me through signing all the legal disclaimers and get me into the chair, but before he even saw my teeth or sat me down he suddenly insisted that an x-ray was necessary! I ended up telling him 3 times that I want a quote on how much the x-ray would cost before committing to it. He relayed my wishes to the wife, who I thought went to work on getting the quote but I don't think she ever had ANY intention of following up. So at this point, this Dentist pauses for about 30 seconds- pretending to wait for his wife to return with the quote. She never showed of course, and then he went back to trying to get me to sit in the chair. As I would soon find out, he just totally disregarded my wishes and proceeded to do the x-rays without my verbal consent. At the time, I thought he was just getting me ready to begin the procedure just as a way to save time until the wife returned, but immediately after he got me set up he hurriedly went straight into it. At that point I had already made myself VERY clear about wanting the quote before deciding if I wanted to it, but its as if he just decided "heck with it, this is happening with or without his consent". By the time I realized he was actually doing the x-rays, I tried to defend the guy in my head by telling myself that this guy didn't just do what it looked like he just did. I began rationalizing that because he was in such a hurry he was planning to just delete the images or something if I decided not to go through with it. Boy was I wrong! After taking the x-rays he went straight into reviewing the x-rays with me without skipping a beat. Also, he's now saying I had to have $2000.00 in work done right away or it would turn into twice that amount of work eventually because it was only going to get worse. Next thing I knew I was standing at the reception desk again with his wife scheduling the appointment for whatever it was he was saying that I had to do. The wife then gave me the bill for this visit (it was about $55.00) to which I reiterated for a fourth time that I wanted a quote before committing to the x-rays! What happened next was the clincher between me and these scam artists. With an expressionless face she just looked at me and said nothing. She purposely created an awkward moment of silence, as if this was one of her tried-and-true ways of manipulating people (by making them feel uncomfortable). I then started getting angry and repeated myself AGAIN. This time she calmly turned around and told the dentist who was now greeting his next patient at the desk. Guess what he did? He looked at her and then at me, didn't say a word and then turned around and walked his patient to the back and that was it. Shame on me for paying for the x-rays, but with all the legal documents I signed I had to assume that they most likely had the upper hand to get away with what they did. So this time I had to just come to terms with what they did and regard the money I just gave them as a loss. I didn't trust a single word that came out of that guy's mouth about the ACTUAL condition of my teeth either. TOTAL wolf in sheep's clothing! But sometimes you just need to learn your lesson and walk away before it gets any worse- so that's what I did. About 2 months later I sent them an email requesting that they send me copies of the x-rays. They actually emailed them to me in a timely manner, but then I saw that they only sent SOME of them... so I asked about it. The wife bluntly replied to my email with a statement that she sent all the x-rays to me and if I want to discuss it further to call. I probably shouldn't have told her I wanted the x-rays for my new Dentist... oh well. What I think ACTUALLY happened was that she simply didn't know how to send an email so large in file size to include all of them, so that was one last little lie she told me to top off my HORRIBLE experience with them. To anyone living in the Shingle Springs/ Cameron Park area I hope this review will help people understand WHY they should NEVER do business with Dale Stanec Jr, DDS at 3955 Cameron Park Dr. read more

I asked if I could have a copy of my dental records & they wrote me a letter saying they no longer felt comfortable working on me! I've been seeing him for years, spent thousands of dollars & he drops me because he feels threatened I'm going elsewhere? (This is my best guess) Something is off about this. I still haven't received a copy or original of my x-rays. It's been three months. Now my new dentist says I need $2000 worth of dental work done. Last time I saw Stanec, he said I had one tooth we should keep an eye on for a cavity. WTH? read more

PAIN FREE dentistry at its BEST! When I first saw Dr. Stanec I had been told by 2 periodontists and 2 other dentists that I needed to pull my teeth and have dentures. I have receding gums and my top front teeth were overlapping and one stuck out so far that both front teeth had cracked down the middle. That was 16 years ago and Dr. Stanec has literally saved my teeth through proper cleaning and we did Invisaline and straightened my teeth to take undo pressure off my front teeth. Dr. Stanec has saved me a lot of pain and money and I now have the best smile of my life. I used to dread going to the dentist and now I look forward to seeing Dr. Stanec and his wonderful wife Elena. They are amazing. Dr. Stanec is conservative and never does anything you don't need, that was not my experience with other dentists. Dr. Stanec does everything himself, no dental hygienist necessary for cleaning and he is so gentle that with him I never bleed after a cleaning. Yesterday my husband had the last of the silver taken out of his mouth and he said he never felt a thing! My husband, my family and I all highly recommend Dr. Dale Stanec to anyone who wants the BEST pain free dental care with an EXCELLENT DENTIST who doesn't break the bank. Thank you Dr. Stanec for taking such wonderful care of us! read more

Dale Stanec Jr., DDS - The BEST DENTIST EVER! - General Dentistry Near Me - Cameron Park, California

Dr. Dale Stanec was referred to you by a friend. I took my elderly parents and they are very happy with his services I will continue to take them there. I'm also very happy with the fact that they have a Spanish-speaking person there. thank you Dr. Stanec read more

I agree with CW. I had a similar experience last week. I had seen Dr Stanec a few months ago during a cleaning. i told him I had some discomfort on one tooth. Dr Stanec disregarded what I said and informed me that I needed to have the tooth pulled and replaced. He never even looked at the tooth!!!! Last week while eating a very soft item the crown came off. If he had taken the time to check the tooth he would have discovered the crown was loose. I went in to his office and questioned why he never checked the tooth. Dr Stanec tried to scare me into having the tooth pulled and that if I ignored his recommendation that I could get an infection and possibly die! I agreed to have the work done and made an appointment to see a surgeon he referred me to. A few days later I received a letter from Dr Stanec stating that since I was not satisfied with him he was discharging me as a patient. I hope I will not have any problems like Lynda R experienced in picking up my records. I am fearful what my new dentist might find after being under Dr Stanec's care for the past 2 years. read more

Dr Stanec's been our family dentist for almost 10 years. We've never had any issues or complaints. He's honest, always explains the procedures and he's really god as his job. read more

Best dentist hands down! It's only him and his wife Elena and they both are so sweet! Dr. Stanec does all the work himself from cleaning to cavities there's no dental assistant! He has saved me hundreds of dollars from his very honest opinion and never does work that doesn't need to be done. Plus his prices are great for people who don't have insurance since he doesn't have all the overhead that most dental offices have! I also bring my 5 year old son to him for cleanings! He doesn't do laughing gas if your child is in need of this but anything simple he can do and is great with kids! read more

The most awesome Dentist in El Dorado Co. When I had a dental emergency I got right in even though they were fully booked. He saved me a ton of money and weeks of embarrassment. Very friendly office staff. read more
