As I am reading through these other reviews, it makes me wonder if there isn't some type of bad…read morereview sabotage going on. I have heard that happens so hopefully my honest review can help others fairly evaluate this business. Since my last review in 2022, I have gotten 4 implants at Pebble Beach Dental. All the work to achieve this was completed by Dr. Erickson. I am a private pay customer, and I have appreciated the payment option provided by Pebble Beach Dental. I just returned home from my bi-annual cleaning, and my oral health is good and stable. I have had bridges removed as the anchor teeth failed and after a time of healing two implants on either side of mouth have been placed. The ability to eat and chew without pain has vastly improved my quality of life. I am really surprised by the negative statement made about the office manager, Stephanie. We have met and spoken both casually and around business over the last 4 years and never have I experienced anything remotely as is being said in these reviews. She is neither petty, dismissive or unprofessional to me nor have I seen her be that with other patients. One would think that if that were her behavior, I would have experienced it as well in this length of time. Something I believe strongly is that no one can make me feel anything. Depending on my perspective and my own state of mind is how I will receive and reaction to any given situation. Please do not these negative reviews prevent you from seeking care at this business as it is at the top of the scale in terms of ability, character, and quality.

While I appreciate the clinical care provided by the dental staff, my experience with the office…read moremanager Stephanie, has been very disappointing. After reading other reviews, I realize I am not alone in these concerns. When I raised questions regarding my treatment and scheduling, I felt that my concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. The office manager's communication felt very mean and unprofessional; rather than listening to the patient's perspective, she seemed more focused on defending the practice and the lack of time for appointments. I was provided with inconsistent information, which left me feeling frustrated and misled. Instead of working toward a collaborative solution, I felt pressured and unheard. Patients deserve to be treated with respect, honesty, and empathy. I truly hope the office takes this feedback seriously and prioritizes improving its patient communication and customer service.

I had a full exam and cleaning at the Smile Time Dental location in Citrus Heights. in May 2026…read more PART 1: EXCEPTIONAL + I was grateful for the team, from the receptionist to the x-ray technicians to the dentist, who were extremely friendly, professional, and skilled at what they did. I would give this place a 4.5 stars out of 5 stars. It was clear that place a premium on helping their clients. PART 2: CAN IMPROVE - I would have given 5, however the dental hygienist who came to floss my teeth simply did not know how to floss. No getting the string in between the teeth and moving up and down each adjacent tooth. At times, she skipped teeth; at others, she got the floss in between and did one side but rather than lift the string up, she cut across to the adjacent tooth hitting the gum, which I didn't appreciate. If she observes other hygienists and practiced on even herself or the staff, she would better understand how to floss.

I scheduled a routine dental cleaning that was fully covered by my insurance. However, I was…read moreinformed that I also needed a gel application treatment that would cost an additional $100 out of pocket. Despite having healthy gums, I was told the office would not perform the standard cleaning unless I agreed to purchase this additional treatment, and declining it was not presented as an option.

The positive- Dr.vasanthan is nice, friendly…read more Negative Dr did not explain what caused receding gums, what will occur in procedure. No giving me options Price is EXORBITANT! My part AFTER insurance for 3 teeth graftingwas almost $6k!! I got a 2nd opinion and for grafting on 5 teeth the TOTAL cost isn't even my copay at dr Vasanthan's office. And that's before insurance, so I'll pay less than 2k So glad I got a 2nd opinion!! I'm saving so much money Also, my receipt for paying the consult was apparently given to another patient because I had a man's receipt in my folder when I got home. My receipt was not there GET A SECOND OPINON! Do yourself a favor or skip this place unless you have money to burn

Avoid this place!!! I went in for dental surgery. During the middle of the surgery, Dr Chen left…read morethe room to see another patient for a consultation and didn't return for more then 20 minutes! By the time he returned, he had forgotten where he was with my surgical procedure, then started in with the laser. By this time, the numbness had worn off and I felt EVERYTHING, including stitches being sewn into my gums! It was horrible, traumatic and I left the office in tears and shaking so bad I almost couldn't drive home. They offered an apology but then followed up by sending me a bill, even though I was told "not to worry" about the balance on my account. I would have let this go if they had offered some kind of discount to my bill or zeroed out my bill, which is what should have happened. I was always ok about dental work, but now I feel completely traumatized and don't know when I will go to a dentist again. If referred to this place, ask your dentist for a different referral, you'll be glad you did.

HEED MY WARNING! I went to this place after my friend recommended them. I was having tooth pain,…read moreand they found an infection in one of my molars and scheduled an extraction. Luckily, on the day of the extraction, my face was swollen from the infection and they wouldn't do anything until the swelling went down. By that night, I was in so much pain I ended up in the hospital where I was kept for three days fighting off a facial cellulitis infection. While in the hospital, I learned that the infection was NOT in the tooth that Citrus Heights Dental had targeted for extraction. It was actually the tooth NEXT TO the tooth they planned to pull! Thank God for that infection. It was a horrible experience, but at least I didn't lose a perfectly healthy tooth! I never went back to that place and I never will. My advice: get a second opinion and save your precious teeth. You're welcome, in advance. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
