My surgery was conducted with local anesthesia, so i can't speak for IV sedation or oral sedation. I've had experiences with local anesthesia prior. So I knew what to expect. The numbing....while painful was the least scary part of the procedure. The surgery was EXCRUCIATING.... even with the sedation. but i don't regret having it done, as my teeth were starting to decay because of the lack of space. My advice to anyone considering it. is PLEASE only do it if it's ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Because i refused IV sedation... the local anesthesia, was painful enough that i started to tear up. I am currently writing this while my head and mouth are throbbing. My mouth is pooling with blood and saliva. i may have even swallowed a little lol. Please remember not to wait until you're 30s or 40s to have it done. The doctor was kind and understanding. Dr Brian Fong: "You were brave, most people fall asleep for the procedure." 10 hour update: I'm still in pain. but a little less than this afternoon. and the bleeding has lessened.

I am writing this on my teenage son's behalf after an exceptional experience at Sacramento Valley…read moreDental Specialists. We specifically researched and decided on Dr. Dana Jensen, and he lived up to his reputation. Dr. Jensen is professional, amazing, and soft-spoken; he explained everything clearly and answered every question we had regarding the procedure. The efficiency was incredible--he removed two fully erupted top wisdom teeth and two horizontal impacted ones in less than 40 minutes under general anesthesia. The recovery was just as smooth; my son was pain-free by the second day using the provided ice pack and post-op instructions. The prescription was sent directly to the pharmacy, making the whole process seamless. His recovery was so fast that he was able to attend his first year of college just three days after surgery! I also loved the office layout, which includes a discreet side door to wheel patients out to the car. Tarah, the receptionist, was a pleasure to deal with and clearly explained our insurance coverage. I've also had the pleasure to deal with Nora (over the phone) and she was a sweetheart. While they require an appointment security fee over the phone, it is applied directly to the procedure. From the text reminders to the expert care, we are so glad we chose Dr. Jensen!

While on vacation I started experiencing extreme sensitivity and a throbbing sensation on my bottom…read moreright wisdom tooth (32). Upon returning from my trip, I scheduled an emergency appointment with Luc Dental Care. An x-ray confirmed a large cavity in my wisdom tooth. I was immediately referred to Sacramento Valley Dental Specialists for a tooth extraction. I spoke with a friendly representative at Sacramento Valley Dental Specialists who was able to schedule a next day consultation and oral surgery. The following day I arrived to a group of friendly employees at the front desk that greeted me. Since I filled out the intake form prior to the appointment, I was only seated for two minutes before being ushered to the back. An employee took my blood pressure, administered an x-ray, and informed me that the surgeon would be with me shortly. Shortly after Dr. Fries entered the room and introduced himself. He gave me an overview of the procedure that would be conducted, asked if I had any questions, and then started a short video that informed me about post-extraction care. After the video concluded, I was ushered to another room where Dr. Fries and an employee began administering the local anesthesia. Roughly 10 minutes later, after confirming that the anesthesia had kicked in, Dr Fries began the procedure. Throughout the procedure Dr. Fries and the employee did a great job of communicating what was happening (the wisdom tooth was very stubborn in coming out) and verifying that I was not in pain (although there was slight discomfort). Three days later, strictly following the post-extraction rules, I have no pain (thankfully)...thank you Dr. Fries and the rest of the Sacramento Valley Dental Specialists team!

Our family has been going to this office for over 30 years. When Dr. Fenton took over the office,…read morethe transition was seamless. Our family tends to have unusual dental emergencies that often happen at night! Last week, my 86-year-old Mom had an accidental fall while volunteering at a local hospital. Laguna Vista Dental got my Mom in immediately to evaluate the extent of the dental damage. They found an amazing orthodontist to handle the repositioning of 6 of my Mom's front teeth. They also stayed until after closing to ensure that they could mold a piece onto the front tooth that broke. Dr. Fenton's calm and caring demeanor, as well as that of the entire staff, made a traumatic event less stressful for both my Mom and me. I have always been pleased with their service and attention to detail, but I am even more impressed by their attention to the emotional needs of their patients.

I'm a big baby and for some reason, dental was my least favorite place to go. ;) I have found Dr. Leo Townsend, DDS to be very professional and gentle! All of his staff are knowledgeable and friendly as well. The entire staff works as a team and are like family. I have my teeth cleaning and exams done regularly. From time to time, I am embarrassed to say they find those pesky little cavities!! My insurance covers most of it and I am out of pocket for a few dollars. Now, when they find something forming with their high tech gadgets, I do not wait. When you wait, and after time it becomes an emergency, that's when more work is needed. This office offers much more services than I've used. There's implant restorations, Invisalign invisible braces, pediatric dentistry, and more. The office is very serene and sterile.

Been there done that. Dr. Kordusky and his team were very professional and made sure I was comfortable through the entire procedure. I chose not to be sedated even though it was included in the cost and the team made sure I was comfortable the entire time and and talked me through everything they were doing. His assistant Jessica was very calming during the procedure and made sure I was never in pain and I was able to be as relaxed as possible. Knowing that all they do here is dental implants and it was a specialist doing it put me at more ease. I would recommend this place to any family member or friend.

I totally regret coming here for my implants…read more Too many problems to list. Currently it's my final delivery, it doesn't match the prototype I signed off on. The bite is off, they've drilled it down twice. The second time they broke a piece off, smoothed it out, then put 2 new fillings in the screw canals. The fillings fell out within an hour of me leaving. They don't respond to my voicemail so I sent an email. Two weeks and still no response. My prosthetic feels terrible in my mouth and they don't seem to care. Its not what I'd expect for the high price i had to pay. More pieces at the missing fillings site have broken off.

My 1 star rating is solely for how the office and billing is handled. The procedure itself and the…read moreoral surgeon was great. The office told me my insurance would be accepted but they didn't submit a pre-treatment authorization so when I arrived for my surgery, I was required to pay the entire bill up front and then get reimbursed by my insurance. I was not told I would be paying the full balance (roughly $5000) up front. The office said they would submit my claim and I would be reimbursed in 2-4 weeks. So, I paid the full balance because I had no other option. After a month, still no reimbursement. The office said my claim was lost when they submitted it the first time so they resubmitted it. Another month goes by and still no reimbursement. The office submitted my claim a 3rd time. Then the office told me to contact my insurance about the claim, which I did, and my insurance stated they sent a check to the office 2 weeks ago. When I informed the office about this, they said they didn't receive a check. I called them the next day after verifying the date and amount of the check and the office said the check was with underwriting. I then contacted my insurance company again and their records show that the check they sent the office was cashed 3 weeks ago. Then, when the office told me they had my check, the amount of the check was less than the amount my insurance sent the office. Also, the office needed me to email my correspondence with my insurance company to verify what I was saying. I continued following up with the office and stated I would come down to the office to clear this up. Finally, after nearly 9 months, I received my reimbursement in two separate checks even though my insurance sent one check to the office. Interestingly, the amount of the two checks combined was more than the one check my insurance sent them so I ended up getting a few hundred dollars more than expected. No, I did not inform the office of this because I think they were trying to not pay me what my insurance reimbursed me and ended making an accounting error in my favor. This office has suspicious billing practices and I will never go to them or refer them to anyone even though the procedure was fine. They have offices throughout Sacramento and I went to the office in South Sacramento. There are plenty of other oral surgeons to choose from
