    I cannot say enough good things about this dental office! After not seeing a dentist for over a…read moreyear and a half due to medical restrictions, I had a lot of concerns and questions. I had even seen another dentist in town a month ago, but instantly knew I needed to find another office. I'm so glad I did! From the very first phone call, the front desk staff made me feel comfortable. They patiently answered all of my questions about insurance coverage, bonding, cleanings, crowns, and more. Their kindness and professionalism over the phone is what won me over--and they were just as wonderful in person. The office itself is beautiful and welcoming, which immediately put me at ease. The dentist is both knowledgeable and efficient, and most importantly, she never made me feel bad for falling behind on my dental visits. She quickly created a treatment plan that was both fast and reasonable, and I was able to see the hygienist the very next day! Speaking of the hygienist--wow. He's truly in a league of his own. Gentle, thorough, and he even managed to make a deep cleaning fun! That's a first for me. Later that same day, I went back for a crown replacement. The dentist wasn't sure if the tooth could be saved (since I had braces for six years with the same crown), but she did it. Truly a lifesaver! I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a dentist who genuinely cares about their patients and a hygienist who makes cleanings enjoyable. This team is the real deal!

    I have Medicare DentalCare and thought I would try using this benefit and had my first appointment…read morefor cleaning and X-rays which are covered. I left that appointment with needing over $5k in recommended services. After discussion and stating I didn't want certain treatment had the estimate reduced to half that amount. Still feeling uneasy and pressured I went to my long standing dentist for his opinion and it will be under $500. Pressuring one for positive reviews should set off red flags. I'm just thankful I listened to my instincts.

    I had one of the worst dental experiences of my life at Plume Dental Implant Studio in Lathrop, CA…read more95330. A routine dental check-up turned into weeks of pain, frustration, and hundreds of dollars in unexpected out-of-pocket charges. I initially chose this clinic because it was near my home and I had dental insurance. During my first visit, the dentist did X-rays and an exam, then presented a comprehensive treatment plan based on my insurance. They also offered financing for uncovered costs through a partner lender, which I accepted. The plan included two price options for a crown--one with a root canal and one without. Without consulting me, the dentist decided to go ahead without the root canal, supposedly to save me money. A temporary crown was installed. That night, after the anesthesia wore off, I experienced severe pain that lasted for days. I returned to the clinic and saw a different dentist, who gave me antibiotics and painkillers and set a follow-up appointment. I had never had this level of discomfort from dental work before--couldn't eat, sleep, or function normally--and had to pay for medications myself. At the next visit, the original dentist told me a root canal was in fact necessary. He wasn't sure he could complete it and might need to refer me to a specialist. He also said I would now need to pay the root canal fee out-of-pocket because he had previously chosen not to include it in the loan. Although this fee was listed on the original plan, it was now excluded from financing due to his earlier decision. I was left paying more than expected mid-treatment. He offered me a 50% discount, which I accepted reluctantly just to move forward. To his credit, the root canal itself went okay. But when a new temporary crown was placed, it fell off within a day. The permanent crown was delayed for three weeks with no update--I had to call the office myself. When I arrived, they realized it was the wrong size and needed to remake it. Another temporary crown was placed, and guess what? It fell off again the next day. During my next visit, I was presented with yet another unexpected bill--over $100--because my insurance supposedly didn't cover some items. This was never disclosed beforehand, and those items had been part of the original treatment plan. I was told to "ask my insurance company" myself. I absolutely despise the kind of practice where pricing is agreed upon at the beginning, only for the patient to be hit with unexplained charges halfway through under vague or questionable justifications. It feels dishonest and exploitative. In the end, I endured a week of unnecessary pain, multiple return visits, added medication costs, temporary crowns that never stayed in place, crown delays, and far more out-of-pocket expenses than initially quoted. I've lost trust completely and will not be returning. I'm sharing this to help others avoid a similar experience. Dental care should be based on trust and transparency. Sadly, I found neither here.

    Great customer service, very professional. Both dentists who worked on my teeth were professional…read moreand knowledgeable.
