I'm very pleased that I've found a dental practice that suits my needs. These people are very direct, honest, caring, and professional. I have a very set road map of where my dental journey is taking me thanks to this team. I'm the weirdo that makes doctor's appointments on my birthday (it's just another day) i honestly forgot but when we were talking about how old i was.... they sang happy birthday to me out of nowhere! It was very cute and kind. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Mallory Stechishin about 4 years for all my dental needs. This includes cleaning and checkups, and also she put beautiful caps on four of my teeth. The office is spotless, and you can even see the Pacific Ocean from the dental chair! I've never experienced any unreasonable wait times.She and her assistant Stefan are polite, professional and fun too! And most importantly for me- painless. read more

The office is gorgeous. Dr. Stechishin caught an area of resorption on my tooth that many other dentists missed and has been great to work with. My husband likes her because she doesn't bug him about teeth whitening . She is an awesome gift to our community out here on the lost coast read more

Dr. Mallory Stechishin, Stefan, and Nicole are such a wonderful team! I cannot recommend this office enough for your dental needs. They are all so kind and you can tell they really care about their patients. Dr. Stechishin really made me feel at ease and comfortable the entire time. She is very knowledgeable of her craft and great at walking you through the procedures as well. 10/10 recommend!! read more

When I called to make my first appointment I was spoken to in a very condescending manner(was told my insurance plan would not cover services in their establishment without ever being asked for the plan I had), however I pushed through and made the appointment. When I showed up for that appointment I was treated nicely and professionally. When dr stechishin finished with me I was given 2 more appointments (one for 03/06 and another for 08/21) and appointment reminder cards, when I showed up to my next appointment I was told I was not on the schedule and would have to wait for the rest of the staff to arrive. My appointment was at 2pm (the staff have a lunch break from 1-2pm) the dr and receptionist arrived at 2:15pm the gentleman behind the desk told me their system loses appointments regularly, I was STILL understanding and asked for another appointment which was given to me quickly. I then ran home to grab the appointment card they had given me and confirmed I had arrived at the right time and date. I then checked the new appointment card and saw it was under a different name I returned to their office to resolve this and was told by the receptionist that he has over 1000 clients and cannot be bothered to remember each one! (Called me by multiple Spanish last names after I told him out loud what my name was this gave off very racist undertones) I then asked if they at least made my appointment for August and was told that was not in the system either. This behavior and attitude by the receptionist is completely unacceptable and downright comical I even asked how he planned to keep this from happening again and he basically stated he had no plan. Needless to say I'm canceling all future appointments and won't be returning to this circus they call a dental practice I wish I could better express how frustrated, insulted, and demeaned I felt read more

Thank you Mallory for a wonderful experience. You are the greatest! I stressed about getting my two teeth pulled for my dentures and prayed about it and you made it a wonderful experience. I will highly recommend you to everyone. Thanks again Lindy Bradley read more

This office was a step-up for me in getting my annual teeth maintenance. Mallory & Stefan seem to run a well-trimmed dental ship. Welcome aboard! Bring us your old cracked crowns & those disintegrating silver fillings from the '60's.....we'll fix 'em! Lou Sciocchetti read more

Dr. Mallory, Stefan and their team have always gone above and beyond for me and my family. The quality of the care is top notch and I appreciate their willingness to help in an emergency. I always leave the office feeling like I got a great cleaning! read more

I just got home from my appointment and my teeth are happy! It was the first appointment for me in over 2 years and I was worried. I got there early so I could fill out my paperwork as a first-time patient. The offices in the Boatyard are immaculate and all Covid precautions were taken. The front desk was attentive and helped me through the process. As for my time in "the chair", Mallory was gentle and kind and described what she doing and why. All in all, it was a great experience and my next visit in 6 months is on the calendar! Thanks to all! read more

Mallory A Stechishin, DDS - Signage - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Mallory Stechishin and her team have treated my dental needs with compassion and professionalism.

Dr Mallory is a very astute, caring and efficient dentist. Like many people new to Fort Bragg, I could not get a dental appointment or cleaning. The one cleaning I did get in for, the hygienist was really not good. I am used to a very thorough and deep cleaning. Dr Mallory fit me in right away and did a top notch job. I just now went in for a discovered cracked filling, and again, she was very thorough but so very quick! She was kind and patiently guided me through the procedure. When I pointed out an area of mysterious pain, in teeth that had root canals, Stefan got on the phone for me to schedule an endodontics appt. about it. He was so kind and efficient , getting me in right away!! What concierge service! Very kind, and I am grateful for their care and expertise! I highly recommend this dental office's practice! read more

The dynamic duo is a team to deliver. Recently joined the patient group here, with Dr. Mallory working so diligently on my teeth after a lapse in care. They are friendly, personable and always taking care of my needs. My mouth and I thank you guys for getting me back into personal oral care!!! read more

Mallory has been an immense help to us as we are new in Fort Bragg where many dentists we called we're not taking new patients or if they did, we wouldn't get in for months. So we were grateful that we found such a highly skilled dentist. My husband is very immune compromised and Mallory's skills and training handled that issue just fine. We've had 3 crowns done between us and frankly-it's hard to tell which molar was crowned-she matched them perfectly. Evan works hard to get us scheduled when we need to come in and works with our insurance company to get procedures covered. He takes time to call and plan care with us to maximize our dental insurance coverage in the future. read more

I wholeheartedly give Mallory Stechishin 5 Stars for her professionalism, capability, client care, and personable approach to dentistry! I would giver her 10 stars if allowed! Mallory almost makes going to the dentist fun! She and her staff are friendly, timely, and helpful when it comes to how to bill your insurance company. And although they are no longer contracted with insurance companies (because insurance companies pay business in small communities less for their services), they can still bill them on your behalf. Stephen, the business manager and also Mallory's partner, is sharp, caring, and an excellent manager! I wish there was someone like Stephen running most businesses these days. He gets back to you when you leave a message, confirms appointments, calls you if they need to reschedule due to dental emergency and is respectful of you time! Together, Mallory and Stephen make a great team! I always feel like I'm just visiting some friends when I go to the dentist. Only, there's no wine involved! read more

Didn't even get a chance to get through the front desk to visit the dentist. The man who is the receptionist has an Attitude (yes, with a capital A). He has no business working with the public, and as I stood in front of him wondering how a dentist (or anyone in business) would allow a person like this to represent them, I thought they had to be related. No, it turns out. Not related. He's her husband. So he's not going anywhere. This is the most unpleasant experience I've had with a business before I even did business, ever. Rude, combative, accusatory, and arrogant. read more

She did a great job on a couple fillings. I thought that I was going to have to get a root canal and she saved my ass. Like 130 dollars and she rebuilt my broken tooth. So I'm hella stoked with them and would recommend them to anyone looking for a affordable dentist on the coast. read more

Dr Mallory Stechishin is an excellent Dentist, I was so pleased with the service I got there. Someone answers the phone and the hygienist is outstanding, Dr Mallory S does not press me for expensive treatments I can"t afford. It was the best teeth cleaning Ive had in many years and the price was a hundred dollars less than I expected. Te staff are so kind and the place is super clean and bright. I am so pleased to have found this great dentist. read more

I have visited Dr. Stechishin three times: once for a cleaning/checkup (when my go-to dentist couldn't fit me in) and twice for a replacement crown. Not only was Stefan, the office manager, precise in scheduling, but his careful Covid check-in procedure surpassed our local hospital. Ignore the alleged scheduling "confusions" reported by others -- contrary to all my experiences. Dr. Stechishin is not only personable and articulate when pinpointing a problem (discovering a missed molar root canal issue that demanded urgent attention, referred elsewhere) but well-trained and competent -- deserving a term that fits all fine doctors: scrupulous. She also has "soft hands" when injecting and doing prep for the crown (which fit seamlessly and blended quickly into the background, as it should). In the Ft. Bragg, area, not exactly blessed with outstanding dentists, Dr. Stechishin and Stefan are welcome professionals. Overall, strong recommendation -- and with fairer pricing that other locals.

My wife and I love this practice. Dr. Stechishin's practice is sorely needed here on the coast and I appreciate their efforts to launch during the pandemic. Stefan is always super efficient (follow up appointments made and coordinated with my insurance while I was still in the chair!) I also had enjoyable conversation with Stefan as he shared about his family in Ukraine. Dr. Stechishin is an Emory grad dentist whose always been kind and personable. She spotted a potential cancer lesion inside my wife's mouth and immediately arranged for follow up surgery in Santa Rosa. read more

I moved here one year ago and was desperate to find a good dentist. At a time when the pandemic was raging I found Mallory and her husband Stephan diligently screening all their patients and continuing to work long hours to help this community through a crisis. They could not get the help they needed but continued their work despite that with their 2 person team. Mallory immediately was able to crown a particularly bad molar I had been told was beyond help, saving me from an expensive implant. She recently extracted a bridge that had deteriorated saving me the cost of an oral surgeon. Mallory is an artist in her dentistry and cares deeply about her patients we are fortunate to have her and her husband here in our small somewhat rural community. Without a doubt her heart is in her work and I am deeply grateful for her care. read more

I was recently in Carmel for vacation. Out of nowhere I suddenly had extreme tooth pain. By the time I called the office, it was late afternoon on a Friday, and they had already left. However, Dr. Stechishin answered her phone, and after hearing the amount of pain I was in, and that I had a wedding to go to the next day, offered to come in early on Saturday to help me. I met her early on Saturday and she was amazing. It turned out I needed a root canal, she got it done quickly and then made an early appointment for me on the following Monday as a check-up to make sure I was doing ok. She was incredibly nice and professional. Her husband also made sure all the paperwork was submitted to the insurance company quickly. What could have really ruined my vacation ended up just being a ridiculous story to tell. If I lived in Carmel, I would definitely be making Dr. Stechishin my full-time dentist! read more

Since being the only network dentist in Fort Bragg I reached out to Dr. Stechishin. Having major dental problems is difficult enough, and then encountering a dentist that makes dealing with issues even worse makes it impossible to recommend her. If you don't ask questions you might like her, or if you don't need a referral (after driving over an hour, he was completely unprepared due to not receiving the information from her and not answering her phone) was the final straw. It has been 9 months and I was still waiting for help. Time to move on at my own expense. It has been a horrible experience! read more

I had not been to a dentist in over ten years and had allowed my dental health to deteriorate horribly. The last two dentists I had been to did not treat me very well and turned me off from going to a dentist no matter how bad my teeth got. My teeth ended up rotting and starting to break. I started calling dentists in my area who accepted my insurance and Dr Stechishin's office was the only one to call me back. Thank God! Stefan and Dr Stechishin greeted me very warmly on my first visit and all of my trepidation melted away quickly. I went in with the expectation that I would be losing most of my teeth. Instead, I came to find out I'd found my miracle worker! She has been able save my teeth and give me a smile I can wear with pride. She is amazingly friendly and approachable, while remaining highly professional. She has a deep sense of compassion and care for fellow human beings. She came here recently from having had practices near Los Angeles and in Carmel. When she landed here she reduced her prices on dental work, understanding the area and the people she is working with. This shows me a profound amount of ethics and empathy. I have recommended Dr Stechishin to many of my friends and co-workers, some of whom have started dental treatment with her already! Thank you, thank you, thank you, I am so glad I found Dr Stechishin and Stefan. read more

She is a fabulous dentist! I'm thrilled!! Thank you for moving to our area. She works super fast too. No pain at all.

I've been having teeth pain on both sides of my lower jaw. To the point I thought I had ear infections cus the constant pain was traveling up the sides of my face. I had to call into work for a few days and searched for a dentist in town that could help. The clinic took me at first and checked me and then I made an appt. They told me the soonest they could take me was in JULY. I ended going to another dental place. Not much help there either. I got a call from Mallory's office later that day saying they can take me in that day. So I went there right away. Very clean nice office area and rooms. Filled out the paperwork and was taken back right away. She was very personable, looked at the problem and numbed me up and BAM! she took the worst of the two out! It took longer to numb me then it was for the extraction lol. I'm feeling much better and have an appt next wk for a check up! I'm looking forward to more visits and hope to get more work done by her. Thank u for taking me on such short notice! read more

VERY unprofessional office. I left a message inquiring about an appointment for a check-up and cleaning. A guy called back and left me a message giving me two times to choose from (one on Monday and one on Tuesday). I called again and left a message saying Tuesday would work. I got a message Monday morning (yesterday) from the office saying Tuesday wouldn't work and saying the Monday afternoon one was what they had available for what I was needing to have done. I was unable to return the call yesterday and just figured they wouldn't schedule me for that time. Today (Tuesday), I get a call from the office with the guy upset that I didn't show up today. I explained that he had said in his message that Tuesday wasn't going to work. I apologized for not understanding and asked if we could try to set something up since we had made contact finally. He said, "No, actually, I'm not going to do that." Wow! I guess this this dentist has plenty of clients, if her receptionist can turn them away for no reason at all. read more

Thank you Dr. Stechishin for doing a phenomenal job on my teeth and my smile. I am so thankful to have a dentist that considers what my hopes and wishes are. Thank you for giving me options and choices and the feeling of empowerment in my dental needs. After being your patient for over 20 years you are truly the only one I trust. Thank you and God Bless you! read more

I just had the most strangest interaction with Dr. Stechishin's office. I have an emergency dental issue and am looking for a dentist in my area. I found her office number on my insurance company's site and called to see what is the earliest appointment I could get, in order to avoid prolonged pain. When I called, I got the voicemail and left a message explaining the situation and asking for someone to call me back. I then tried calling another doctor in the meantime, because my tooth is starting to experience pain and wasted to get the first appointment I could get and did not know how long it would take for Dr. Stechishin's office to get back with me. I did manage to get an appointment with another doctor, but not until five days later, which is a long time to wait with a toothache. I then called back Dr. Stechishin's office (by accident). Once I realized it was her office, I asked about the earliest appointment they had. The man that was on the phone had a bad attitude and after some back and forth proceeded to tell me that I should keep my appointment with the other doctor. I was so taken back by his attitude. I even mentioned to him that I can't believe you are turning a way a new patient. I am very baffled by his unfriendly and terrible customer/patient service. Apparently, he had returned my call while I was on another line, but I was unaware of that. Regardless, customers/patients should not be treated in the manner in which he treated me. I told him that his attitude answered my question as to whether or not I would select Dr. Stechishin's office as a dentist. Although, she was not the one who conversed with me on the phone, his unfriendly attitude represented her office and left a terrible taste in my mouth. A kind and friendly attitude goes a long ways! read more

Dr. Stechishin is a caring dentist. We have been her patients for four years and have been very satisfied. She is knowledgeable and communicative. read more

I have been travelling internationally for years to have my dental care performed by Dr Stechishin. I would not trust anyone else. From routine checks and fillings to crowns, bridges and, most recently, a full set of veneers, the work has always been excellent. She is professional, approachable and fastidious in all she does. She works diligently and precisely to achieve perfection. Injections are gentle and almost imperceptible, yet effective and I experienced no pain. After any work, she continues to meticulously shape the result until I have no sense that anything in my mouth is different. My bite is strong and comfortable, yet my teeth look and feel so much better. I have remained seated in her chair for hours while she painstakingly finishes every detail. I would most highly recommend this dentist. My children as well, strive to be able to travel to her for her advice and dental planning. read more

Dr. Stechishin has been my dentist for the last 2 years. My dental needs have ranged from simple cleanings to replacing an old crown. The latter was a complicated procedure because of significant decay. Consistently, Dr. Stechishin has been professional, caring, and diligent. Her work quality is second to none. I gladly recommend Dr. Stechishin. Great practice. read more

i had a denture made last year and it was a horrible experience. because of some mishaps in her office she was giving me the denture for free. i had one mild made and it was sent to the lab to be created. she asked me to drive to the lab and look it over. not knowing what i was doing i went to the lab. the teeth looked fine. remember this was after one mold. the next appointment i had my teeth pulled and the denture fitted. from the start i could see the teeth were too big. i couldn't close my mouth. she and her husband tried to convince me that's how it was suppose to be. i could eat. it hurt to wear and it kept falling out of my mouth. i went to another dentist who told me the denture was off. after hearing this she agreed to make another one. well this time we had a mold made and a few fittings. the new denture fit bit the teeth are too small. again. she tried to convince me this is how it was suppose to be. come to find out by her own admission she was trying out labs so she was getting these for free. i kept the new denture but never went back to her. i am i'm the process of finding a competent dentist to get me the right size denture. i would be so mad is they hadn't tried to convince me the first denture they gave me was correct. i looked like a rabbit. stay away from these people. they are shady. read more
