Dr. Vandersloot was able to combine these into a single visit, which was a huge convenience for my schedule. His surgical technique was meticulous. I experienced minimal swelling and very little post-op discomfort, which speaks to his expertise.

A top-tier specialist. Thank you

On May 8, 2025 I came in to get a root canal from Peter R Vandersloot. This was my first root canal…read more(hopefully my last *fingers crossed*) and I was in a lot of pain the weeks leading up to my appointment. The tooth needing the root canal was the second to last on the bottom right side (I forget the tooth number) but it had gotten to the point that I was taking Moltrin 3-4 times a day just to keep the pain manageable. If I didn't take meds before bed, I was sure to be awakened with throbbing pain, enough to have you questioning the point of eating candy ever again! Anyways, long story short, I came in to this office and the staff was very warm and kind to me. Peter was very helpful in educating me about the procedure and what I could expect throughout it afterwards. He's really a magician in the sense that he debunked all my pre root canal fears around the pain and how it would be the most excruciating experience I'd ever go through. The only pain I felt throughout the procedure was when I received the needle injection for numbing the area and nerve. Other than that, I felt no pain and by the time he was finished, I was shocked that it was all over. It took no more than 1 hour start to finish. He's really someone I wish I could go to for any dental issue because his conversation is awesome and he's so well informed. A true professional in every sense of the word and his team of professionals that assist in the procedure were amazing as well. This place is like a small private practice, not like going to a giant dentist location with a bunch of chairs and rotating dentist. They are exceptional in their ability to resolve root canals and in the process educate clients so they are more aware of the business of dental work. I left there understanding who I should get insurance with, what types of dentist I should get work done with as well as how to sift through yelp reviews to identify honest reviews over fabricated ones. As you can imagine, there's a bunch of dentist offices with reviews that are very basic and are there to just give the 5 stars in hopes of improving the businesses overall rating. If you need a root canal done, don't waste your time going anywhere else. This place has got you covered. Thanks again Peter & Staff! It's been over a month and the pain I felt prior to my visit with you has never returned.

After referring me out to an oral surgeon because Dr. Zhao would be on vacation the upcoming week for an extraction. I ended up riding it out with antibiotics and she saw me that first week back for impacted wisdom tooth extraction. I did this because I felt good energy from my emergency diagnosis. I hadnt been to a dentist in 8 years. Everyone in the office was warm, caring and considerate. I needed to raise my hand quite a few times for extra novacaine because I have a higher tolerance in which the dr gave without hesitation. They paused when needed for me or themselves as it was a tricky wisdom tooth with curved roots (yay haha). I barely had pain the next few days and lived comfortably on ibuprofen/Tylenol without issues. I plan to go back for my deep cleaning because of this experience, not as scared as I used to be. They're prices match and they're fully transparent ahead of the work completed. They aren't after a wallet.

He would have had five stars from me, if it weren't for one mistake. Initially, he numbed me on the wrong side. He thought the procedure was on the other side. It's important to take a timeout, before performing any procedure. The surgeon should review the referral content regarding the procedure and what tooth needs to be worked on. After so many years, maybe the procedures could become routine. Two of his assistants and an office assistant had prepped for him, but they must have not reminded him. One of his assistants watched on while he initially numbed me, and she didn't say anything or question whether the correct side was being numbed. I stopped him, and told him which tooth was to be worked on. He then realized that he made a mistake and was apologetic. What if I didn't stop him or question his actions? Let this be a lesson to all patients. Whether you're with this oral surgeon or any other type of surgeon, make sure you and the surgeon are on the same page. If you're having an oral procedure done, be prepared and know which tooth (the number of the tooth) is of concern. If for some reason you think something is wrong or something doesn't seem right, stop the surgeon. The experience after Dr. S corrected himself was ok; more so, because I was worried something else might go wrong. This I'm sure can happen with any other oral surgeon, but it's preventable and it shouldn't happen. For my experience, even though it was corrected, in the end I was left with unnecessary numbness on both sides of my face and a feeling of if I had to have a similar procedure done again, I would not return to this same location.

I'd give more stars if I could! I needed a root canal and crown earlier this year. I had the root canal done in the Bay Area, but the same doctor was unable to also do the crown. I called around many other dentists in the bay, but none worked out (poor service, scheduling issues, etc). I was recommended Dr. Lata, so I made the drive from San Jose all the way to Tracy, and it was very worth it! The receptionist and other staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful both in office and on the phone. Both Dr. Lata and Dr. Poliki were very kind and knowledgeable, listened to me, reassured me, and did a great job with my crown. Recently, I was having some trouble chewing on that tooth, so I called the office and they recommended that I come in to have it checked out. While it was a long drive from San Jose to Tracy, it was very worth it. I was seen within 5 minutes of reaching the office (which was very nice after the long drive!), I explained my issues to the doctor, and it was resolved right away! I'm so happy I can comfortably chew again and I'm not having any more pain. Both doctors and their whole staff are very knowledgeable, kind, caring and helpful. This was hands down the best dental experience I've ever had. I think it can be hard to find an honest and trustworthy dentist, but at California Dental Care I felt I was in great hands! I would highly recommend anyone to visit California Dental Care for any of your dental needs. Thank you Dr. Lata!
