    Great great office and staff. Angel is by far the best dental assistant I've ever encountered, so thorough and nice.

    Great staff!! I always get good vibes when I'm here! I don't know how people get bad service but…read moreit's always nice coming here. If I don't feel like talking, they don't pressure me. But don't be nervous to ask them questions about what's going on or what they are doing. It's always been clean when I stop by and there's always someone with a smile on their face. I love that the Dr let's me know everything that is going on as he works on my teeth, even the Dental Hygienist Hector is awesome to talk to. He is so full of stories and experiences and laughs! I have not been helped by Dr Young yet, only the other Dr, but he definitely knows what he is doing!

    I really like this facility and more importantly the people that work there. I just moved here and…read morehad to find a new dentist. After calling a few places that had either no one answer, a long wait, or someone who sounded like me calling was a bother, I called Nipomo Dental Arts. I was greeted by such a pleasant and happy voice I honestly thought it was an automated message (in a good way). I was able to get scheduled quickly too with them letting me know of sooner openings as they became available. Upon arrival every single person that worked there was super happy and said hello to me. All the people that worked on me were all very knowledgeable and caring about the process. No one tried to upsell me on anything For my cleaning, Rea was great! I don't think I've ever had a cleaning be so nice or less irritating. Even had to go back for my first cavities and the dentist was really calm and talked me through the whole process so I knew what to expect and feel. I even got a check up call the next day just to see how I was doing. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new or better spot. Really good and happy people that like what they do, and I couldn't ask for anything else.

    I relocated to the central coast in 2023 after retiring from the SF Bay area;…read moreI had an excellent dentist there for 20+ and missed her expertise; Due to my new location and new dental plan, I tried 2 other dentists in past 2 years: both were OK, but one practiced solo with (no other dental tech assisting) and the other was referred to me but, but after I visited, I was told the actual work I needed to have done was going to be done by someone else in her practice (who I could find NO information about....) -Another dentist referred to me by some other friends was "in network" with my dental plans, but was not accepting new patients... -THEN (finally).... ANOTHER friend referred me to Bauer Dental; I did a lot of research and was impressed by their website and the technology they utilize in their practice. I set up a consult from their website, got a consultation appointment set up rather quickly, and got to meet with both dentists, Dr. Bauer and Dr. Sivo to discuss a treatment plan. I should note that they are "out of network" for most dental plans, and they did explain the costs of their treatment and options for payment plans. My decision to choose Bauer dental was based on the professionalism I experienced from my initial visit, where I met with the dentist, their office staff, and dental tech, Jose, who performed X-rays and scans. I honestly did not like the options for some of the other "in network" options offered by my dental plan. DENTAL APPOINTMENT SUMMARY: -I just had 3 cavities repaired and a replacement crown put in by Dr. Sivo, and the experience was aabsolutely painless and the work looks and feels great. Dr Sivo, and his dental technician, Alex, explained everything and answered all my questions. They have the technology to make a dental crown in their office (and since I had these types of dental crowns previously, I never wanted to go back to having a temporary crown for 2-3 weeks, and then to having to have a return for the final fitment of the permanent crown). The entire visit, including the buildup and placement of the new crown, took only 2.5 hours. I was not rushed, and neither were they- It just seemed to go that smoothly and efficiently. IN SUMMARY: Frankly, I did probably end up choosing (by FAR) the most expensive option of all the previously offices I mentioned; However, I don't recommend looking for the "cheapest" option when choosing a dentist; I do recommend doing a LOT of research. I have (unfortunately) needed a lot of work done over the decades (I am 65) and I believe in paying for high quality dental care by dentist with extensive education and training. Bauer Dental exceeded my expectations for a high tech dental office They seem to be most advanced dental office I have ever visited, utilizing the latest digital technology and high end equipment, operated by their well-trained team, and I have lived in over a dozen cities around the U.S. If this type of practice appeals to your standards, I do recommend Bauer Dental. Also, They do offer options for different types of flexible payment plans, if needed.

    I'm pretty much in shock with the amount of money it cost to have two crowns glued back on…read more I had two crowns that were joined together on my top previously finished implants by a dentist in Fresno and they popped off together. Called Bauer this morning, and while they advertised first visit free, I was charged $340 as it was a last minute appointment. Okay, I needed it done so, I agreed. I brought the teeth with me and after a full evaluation, they said the gluing on would be $690!! What was I to do? I needed the teeth on and while I visibly was shocked, I agreed. Yes, $1030 later, I walked out of there with a future plan and the price but I'm still reeling with what I just paid them!! They sort of grossly overpriced themselves for me to go back. Yes, everyone is really nice and the office is beautiful, but I just wanted the tooth glued back on and I'm so shocked by the charges, I doubt I will have them do further work. Too high of an overhead, too many people working there and I should have listened to my gut instinct on the phone this morning. I have never in my life been gouged like this to have a 10 minute process done, I should've left and bought my own dental glue. Literally, I'm sick to my stomach!!
