I had to have gingival grafting done, something I'd been dreading and putting off for years. But Dr. Oakley and his team did an amazing job. They were kind, gentle, professional, efficient, thorough, and provided excellent follow up care. I am glad I finally went through with the surgery, and glad to know we have someone so good and so local. read more

I went to Dr. Oakley for a gum surgery and the procedure went very well. The entire staff was kind, friendly, and attentive. Dr. Oakley is a very kind and gentle man who did everything possible to put me at ease and answer all of my questions. The procedure fixed my initial problem and healed up perfectly. I would recommend without hesitation. read more

I was referred to Dr. Oakley for an 8 pocket of a tooth on the upper level in the far back. I was in danger of losing the tooth. Dr. Oakley surgically went in, cleaned up the infection, put in a bone graft and allowed time for it to heal. I was surprised to learn at my follow up visit after months of treatment that I no longer needed to come to him, the problem was solved. I deeply appreciate Dr. Oakley and his wonderful staff. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. read more

Love this office and staff. Always helpful and kindhearted. Thank you for all your help

I have been seeing Dr. Oakley since he took over Dr. Cole's practice at least 10 years ago. He has performed numerous dental procedures for me including extractions with bone implants and grafts for endangered teeth. All of these procedures have been perfect with no complications and achieving excellent results. I have profound trust in his judgement, skill and ethical standards. One true and reliable tribute to his professionalism is that his staff has been with him for years--some since he took over for Dr. Cole. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Oakley's office for a few years now and continue to drive from Sacramento to see Dr. Oakley and his staff. Tammy and all the ladies in Dr. Oakley's front desk staff are always patient in answering my questions and will take their time to call me back to ensure I've received all the information I need. I'm always fearful of procedures, but Dr. Oakley and his staff are extremely comforting. Dr. Oakley explains what he will be doing each step of the way and provides words of encouragement throughout the process. His assistants are always sweet enough to hold my hand or pat me gently on the shoulder during the procedure to really help me feel as if someone is there for me the whole time. I've had a few gum grafts performed by Dr. Oakley and without fail, on the evenings of my procedures, Dr. Oakley takes time out of his evening to call and check in on me. Dr. Oakley and his staff go above and beyond for their patients and I appreciate the care I consistently receive from them. I couldn't recommend Dr. Oakley and staff more! read more

I had a cyst growing on my gum line. It started overgrowing my tooth, making me very self-conscious, since it was right up front for everyone to see. Dr. Oakley and staff were helpful in removing the cyst and restoring my gum line to a smooth, normal appearing smile. He also grafted a few receding gums as well. I pride myself on my smile. I'm thankful that Dr. Oakley prides himself on his work, because he does a fantastic job! Thank you for giving me my smile back, especially when we are about to be mask-free! read more

Very professional! Easy to talk to. Clean environment! Addressed all my needs and found an anomaly that Sacramento Surgical Arts did not address. He is very through and takes the time to make sure you are comfortable. The staff is friendly and on top of insurance issues. Unlike Sacramento Surgical Arts, Dr Oakley insurance person waits until done with the examination whereas Sacramento Surgical Arts interrupts while still being examined and wants you to commit right then and there. Dr Oakleys office is well organized from beginning to end. Melinda T was AWESOME! She is Dr Oakleys assistant made me feel very comfortable and was caring to the fact I have a small mouth and adjusted X-Rays accordingly. I highly recommend Dr Oakley! read more

Upon my exam, I was told that I had bacteria in my mouth that needed special testing. The test needed to be overnighted to Drexel University in Philadelphia, for which of course I had to pay; because the test had to be performed within 3 days. Somehow it was decided to send the test during the July 4th holiday, which of course, occluded the mandatory "must be done in 3 days." The test had to be re-done. The test tech was so proficient, the test was re-done by Dr. Oakley. I never got the results. Part of my treatment plan was to learn how to brush my teeth.... a service which of course no insurance company will allow and which cost ~$160. read more

Both my kids have had periodontal surgery with Dr. Oakley where they had a skin graft taken from their palate and attached to the gums. Dr. Oakley did a precision job and the nurses are caring. One kid did it with just local anesthetic and the other was mildly sedated. They both say they would recommend Dr. Oakley. read more

Dr. Oakley and his staff are exceptional. He's a highly skilled periodontist and I found his staff to be warm and professional. He called me at home the evening of my dental procedure to check on me and answer any questions. I recommend him without any reservation. read more

Wonderful dentist and staff. Couldn't ask for a more pleasant dental experience . An implant on a front tooth is harrowing but I never once felt that Dr. Oakley was rough or insensitive . Everyone concerned from front office to the doctors assistants were great to work with and Seemed genuinely concerned . I highly recommend this business. read more

I really like how he takes the time to answer your questions. He is a pleasant dental professional and I can see why people go to him. Going to the periodontist can be nerve-racking but his easygoing demeanor makes it easy on his patients. read more

No one wants to have to see a periodontist,but if the need arises this is the only place to go. The staff are caring, warm, and professional. They really help ease the nervousness. Dr. Oakley took great care of both my husband and I. read more

I am in the process of getting dental implants and dentures. At 60 years old I have avoided a good long laugh because what my mouth exposes is painfully ugly. So I have had to get by with a mediocre closed mouth smile for years now. Dr Oakley and his team are so professional I just cannot give them enough stars. Everyone on his team are very professional and spend as much time as you require to explain what they are doing. I am very impressed with the staff at Dr. Oakley's office and I cannot wait to finally get my new teeth and laugh and smile and have my picture taken (Which I have avoided for years). I thank them from the bottom of my heart! read more
