Staff is incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable. Care is beyond expectations. Highly recommend!

Long overdue review. We have been patients here for many years now and I cannot say enough good things about this office. I love the holistic aspect of their practice and the fact that Dr. P goes with the "less is more" approach, not recommending anything that isn't truly necessary. I trust him completely with mine & my daughter's dental needs. The hygienists are also super personable and take their time (we've had Mikey the last few times and he's awesome). Their technology is also top tier. It's unfortunate our insurance is no longer in network so it is pricey, but I would choose this office over any else. read more

Dr Partrite and his staff have been taking care of me for many years. He is a biological non toxic dentist too! There are only a handful of dentists that fall into this special category of elite leading edge dentistry. His amazing staff has been with him for years so that should also tell you something. Dr Partrite's steady hand, laser focus and a balanced kind personality are exactly the gifts he brings to a successful practice read more

Needed to find a holistic dentist who practiced the SMART amalgam filling removal method. Everything at new era was fanatastic, from initial evaluation appt to the procedure itself. Highly recommend!! Thank you Dr. Lam and Ashley for doing such an awesome job!! read more

Dr. Partrite is exceptional. I finally found a dentist I trust. It has been an incredible experience from start to finish. The entire team is so warm, compassionate and knowledgeable. Dr. Partrite is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain my treatment options clearly, always putting my needs first. The procedure was completely painless, and the results were fantastic. If you need to find a holistic dentist who practices the SMART amalgam filling removal method, Dr. Partrite is the best one in this practice. I'm so grateful for the excellent care and highly recommend this practice. I want to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to you and your team. Stay well! read more

Easy, painless, friendly. Got me in on the same day. I've been seeing Dr Dave for years. Great care, great office experience.

I have been with New Era Dentistry for at least 20 years now and I have always have had a good experience with both my hygienist who is a wonderful person and Dr. Partrite, who is a great dentist as well. The whole staff at the office are very professional, friendly, and efficient. Their equipment and technology are always up-to-date and very advanced. I will never let anyone else take care of my teeth and the one time that I did, I regretted it. read more

I have not been a patient of Dr. Partrite, but was referred to him by my dentist since she was out on vacation, and I had an issue that I though may be urgent. It was the weekend, and I noticed Dr. Partrite's office is closed on Mondays, and since I was not sure how urgent my issue was (like whether it could wait safely til Tuesday or should I find another dentist), I called and left a voice message. Dr. Partrite called me back and he took the time to discuss my situation. He asked me some questions and answered my questions and was extremely helpful to me. It turns out that he was also to be out for the upcoming week, but given all the factors we discussed, he thought my issue was not urgent, and so I will set up an appointment for the following week with my regular dentist. I will of course monitor just in case and will reach out to another dentist sooner if I think anything is getting worse. I am very grateful to Dr. Partrite for being so helpful with his time discussing with me. Google was not doing me any favors in trying to figure things out on my own. read more

The people that knew our dentistry are great. I've been going to Dr. Partrite for over a decade, and another dentist at this office 10 years before that. For a brief period of time I had dental insurance that took me to another office. I immediately regretted it. I chose to pay cash and come back to this office and skip my insurance. It's great your medical professional is right in the sweet spot of their career. They're not green and they're not over the hill. They are right in the professional, competent middle. They've taken great care of my teeth and I'm very grateful. All their support staff and cleaning people are great as well. I highly recommend them. read more

I was so nervous about my cleaning and it was like a breeze! Felt no discomfort and everyone at the office is just great! I bring my daughter and husband here as well, wouldn't change our dentist for anyone else! read more

I had a really wonderful experience here and I am so happy I found them. I love Dr. Partrite, he has a great bedside manner, he was present, calm, and not rushed during my apt. He patiently answered all of my questions and came up with a plan that felt collaborative and included me in the decisions. I think being present and having a good bedside manner is very rare in the medical field these days and something I really appreciate and this alone significantly helps ease my dental anxiety, what a huge difference that makes to me! The staff were all super friendly and very welcoming. Praises to the woman at the front desk who greeted me she has a wonderful happy sunny disposition and was eager to help. The office is beautiful, high tech and super clean. Prices are reasonable and I felt ZERO upselling at all. I LOVE their more holistic approach, which is the main reason I came here. What a great experience, I felt very taken care of. I would venture to say that it was my most positive dental experience to date and I am 53 so I have had a lot of them:) Highly recommend, you all are doing a fantastic job all around, keep up the great work, what you do makes a difference! I am so grateful I found this place. read more

We moved through several family dentistry practices in Lamorinda due to different needs of my many family members. Everyone from teenager to retirees all eventually chose to move to Dr. Partrite's practice because his practice is simply the best. In addition to state of the art facilities, Dr. Partrite and Dr. Lam are immensely skilled dentists. Their staff members are always caring and welcoming. So very glad we found New Era Dentistry! read more

If you are looking for a dentist, stop here! This is a great dental practice. You are greeted at the door by staff members who are happy to see you. When Dr. Partite says it's pain free, he means it. They are efficient and work with you to ensure you get the treatments you need, but not more. I recently had a cavity discovered by one of the hygienists and they got me in to have it treated and filled before it could get worse. I have never had a bad experience here and highly recommend them. read more

Excellent! Cracked a tooth and was fortunate to get in to see the doc quickly. I was a bit nervous of the procedure but everything g was explained really well. Dr. Partrite was excellent and made me feel comfortable. Highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend New Era Dentistry. They are professional and honest and they do not have fluoride in their cleaning products.

Not only is the office stunning and clean, every staff member was so kind and had big beautiful smiles! I felt at ease for my first dentist appointment in years and got a lot of information. So so happy to have found this gem! read more

Everyone is friendly and competent. They are very thorough with their exams and cleanings. I never feel rushed even when I have several questions. Highly recommended. read more

I have found my dentist!! I was referred to Dr. Partrite's office from another homeschool mom I'd been chatting with regarding chemicals at public schools (that's another topic for a different day!) I have chemical disability from a toxic work exposure 14 years ago that makes every day life challenging; dentists and medical offices in general are very difficult for me to spend any length of time. That history said, this was the most warm and accepting office of my disability. They went above and beyond what other places offer for me. I've had a few other dentists I have had positive experiences with, but always, the disinfectants used and lingering lysol from restrooms etc always get me in the end. After my series of new patient questions, the gal asking them said she had a product in her hair that was scented (yes, I'd noticed) and she was so sweet to ask if it would affect me. I'd mentioned if she was going to sit in close proximity yes, but I was fine at the moment. She graciously replaced herself. I so appreciated that, though she was so pleasant and helpful! My hygienist Logan was phenomenal checking in often. She even swapped out the water for me that used ozone treated water with purified water. There is an ozone air purifier too but not used while patients in the office. I didn't have any reactions to the air quality or products used which was awesome. Dr. Partrite spent about 30 minutes with me which is far more than I get with other dentists. He understood my chemical issues, was one of the few that was aware of the treatment I receive with my TMJ doctor and the FIRST never to try and tell me I needed expensive dental work done. I loved his straightforward attitude and honesty. Though this office only takes Dental Dental as a preferred provider, I'm happy to make the out of network co-payment. In the end, my health wasn't compromised and the savings from expensive "other necessary treatment" was saved. I plan or switching my kids over as well. They will love the images of live bacteria taken from plaque on your teeth shown from the microscope. I'm thankful for the referral here and a better solution for my family's dental care! read more

See all

I've been getting my dental care from New Era Dentistry for years now. Dr Partrite and his team of hygienists and front office staff are the best! They really listen to the patients and don't try to sell you anything you don't need. Scheduling is never a problem. The new location is beautiful and has plenty of free parking. read more

I am fortunate to have such a fine person as Dr Partrite to be my dentist. He shows genuine concern for my overall health and wellbeing. His staff is very helpful and caring as well. I have high trust in him.His name was given to me by several people that I have regard for. read more

Argh... I cracked a crown 8 days before going on long-planned vacation... can you imagine my stress?! It takes a lot of work and usually 2-3 weeks to get a new crown. My wife recommended Dr. Partrite because he is very careful about minimizing exposure to toxins during dental procedures. I called their front desk and they told me the casting of the new crown would only take a day for emergency situations! Dr. Partrite was not available but another younger dentist was available for the 2 hour initial visit. The other dentist and his assistant (Ashley) were really careful, communicative, and thoughtful during the intense cutting/removal/scanning procedure and there were no problems. I feel so bad I forgot the nice young dentist's name!!! The next day, they installed my new crown, and again they made the procedure easy to bear, and also made sure I didn't unnecessarily inhale or swallow the work materials. A couple days later I left town and a week later everything feels back to normal, or perhaps even better than before I cracked the crown!!! Thank you New Era Dentistry for saving my vacation!! Also thank you Megan and everyone at the front desk for making things easy, and greatly reducing my stress!! Why are you still reading this??! Take care of your dental worries with New Era! You'll do great! read more

Best dental experience. I recently had an amalgam filing replaced and wanted to have it done by a SMART certified dentist who would take all the safety precautions. Dr. Partrite did all that and it went smooth and it was painless. The women at the front desk all always friendly, professional and attentive. I highly recommend this practice. read more

Horrible customer service ill mannered workers talking under their breath about patients laughing discourteous unpleasant& rude I do NOT recommend coming here overpriced quotes and down right rude customer service don't let their fake demeanor over the phone fool you read more

Love New Era. Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful staff. They use the most non toxic materials which I appreciate

Excellent customer service all the way around; from the front office staff to the practitioners. Office was extremely clean and meticulous. I appreciate the reminders leading up to my appointment. My dentist was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The equipments were up to date. I would recommend this to friends and families. read more

I usually don't do reviews, but Dr. Partrite is really wonderful at what he does with his biological approach to dentistry. I'm happy I've finally found a dentist who will buck the system and provide tools you never would have never thought of to help you take care of your oral health. I appreciated his thorough analysis of my teeth and he even cleaned them himself. I will be back for all of my exams. read more

Dr. P did a lot for me to make sure my replacement tooth looked as close as possible to my real teeth! It wasn't an easy journey but we got there! The whole staff is just AMAZING and overall very welcoming people! Would recommend 1000% as they are very accommodating and attentive to your needs ! read more

The best dental office I have ever been to. My experience here has been nothing less than exceptional. All of the staff and Dr. Partrite are incredibly kind, caring and honest. I will never go anywhere else! read more

I have been coming to New Era Dentistry for at least 10 years. The staff hygienist and the dentist are all fantastic and I finally got my husband to switch from the dentist he has been going to for 40 years to come over to New Era Dentistry read more

As someone that normally gets nervous for dentist visits, the staff made me feel comfortable and reassured all my concerns. The staff is extremely friendly and professional! read more

And now I know why I picked this place! They sent me a welcome card and thank you card with a gift! I will be updating my review again soon when I finish my next appointment I love this place! I was looking for a place with Holistic views and I am glad I picked it. Ashley and Carly were both warm and welcoming. And Dr Partrite was very thorough and detailed on my evaluation. I would recommend this place hands down. More : 9/14/21 I came on for a crown and still very impressed . He had a sophisticated device to create my missing crown. He was very communicative on telling me what he was doing every step of the way . I love the work he did with putting in the crown and helping to educate me on how he would fit my crown . Also, his staff has displayed consistent 5 star customer service from when I walk into the door to going into the treatment room til I leave . I have a couple more visits and I am looking forward to them . So if you are looking for a friendly staff, nice clean environment, great dentist and customer service, I highly recommend this place! Thank you New Era Dentistry!!! read more

Best dentist I've ever had- BY FAR. All the staff are excellent, but I drive 3 hours from my house to see Dr Partrite. He's the first dentist I've ever had that takes my overall health into account with his dentistry. I was thrilled to get my oral microbiome assessed and super relieved to find someone to remove my mercury fillings in a truly safe way. The work I've had done is cosmetically beautiful. To top it off him and the other staff are friendly and make great conversation. read more

Apologies, I swear I wrote a review after my first consultation visit, but it doesn't seem to be here. Guess I wasn't logged in. ANYWAY, I knew I wanted to switch to a Biological Dentist and looked a little and didn't follow up, UNTIL, I went back to my husband's dentist that he has used for years. He was nice enough, in the beginning, and I had no reason to change. I started down a holistic path over the last 5 years and became interesting in finding a Biological Dentist. I had a few things I wanted to get done, but no hurry. I saw the old dentist as it had been a while and needed a cleaning. He informed me I had 2 cavities & oh, you'll probably need a root canal after I fill one of them since it's near the root, I needed to come back for a deep cleaning done over 2 appointments, I needed to replace an existing crown and a back molar needed a new crown. He asked a few questions and we immediately disagreed as to the use of Fluoride. I believe it is poison and does nothing to aid your teeth. The big lie. I realized in that appointment the urgency I needed to place on finding that new dentist aligned with my beliefs. So, of course, I started with Yelp. The receptionist, Elaina, was very kind, heard the urgency in my voice and found me a cancellation for 4 days later. While Dr. David Partrite was not a Biological dentist, he is a Biomimetic and Holistic Dentist. You can read about it on their website. Elaina made sure to have me transfer over my latest x-rays and fill out their new patient forms electronically (right up my alley, very convenient). My Hygienist, Jody, was very friendly and took care of me initially. Then Dr. Partrite came in for our first consultation, he asked a lot of questions & allows you to do the same. He was VERY much aligned with my new found beliefs. He spent over 1-1/2 hours in this consultation. And he laid out the game plan. Granted, I wasn't as diligent as I should have been in oral care and thus 2 cavities, that part was true. Part of that is that I didn't grow all the natural teeth most people have and my teeth are spread farther apart in some areas which allows a greater opportunity for bacteria to hide. Something NO dentist ever pointed out! However, he declared there was nothing wrong with my existing crown & did NOT need replacing, the other molar did not need a crown, he could definitely fill the cavities and spare me a root canal (the correlation of heart problems and root canals is extremely high, if not guaranteed and I swore I'd never get one), and I absolutely did not need a deep cleaning. SOLD! If you haven't figured it out by now, somebody was just ensuring their next payment for that condo in Aspen, recommending unnecessary work. I knew in that moment that I had found the right dentist! Another cool thing he does is a swab of your oral biofilm and shows you the state of your mouth on a bacterial level explaining everything using a microscope. This was a first for me and very cool! UPDATE: Just came from my first appointment to fill the cavities (non-mercury thank you very much) and filling in the missing enamel on my front tooth that I called my swimming pool. Dr. Partrite used some techniques I had never seen and I must admit, it was far more pleasant than regular dentists in my past. I think I actually fell asleep because I woke myself up snoring briefly, LOL. That was a first. It took almost 2 hours, but no root canal for me. He delivered the goods as promised and I could not be happier. In fact, after my experience, I told everyone about it, including my husband who has officially made his first appointment with Dr. Partrite next month. I've recommended him to several people already. On a side note, I see a very negative review here disparaging the staff in the office. Nothing could be further from the truth. I found every single person, engaging, happy, pleasant, efficient and friendly. (Competitor maybe?) Who knows, but it's an absolute lie! read more

bad experience all around. huge waste of time and money - over priced, under delivered not holistic - just bs! read more

Dr Partite, Dr Lam and their dental assistants take great care of myself and my family. They are amazing!

Have been with this practice for over 30 years, way back to when Garland Windle was the dentist. Many changes but still an excellent office and Dr. Partrite is superb, very fun and friendly. Latest technology but not pushy about adding services. Noreen is my favorite hygienist. Their new offices are very nice but I think rates have gone up a bit to cover the new digs. read more

Dr Partrite is awesome. Super kind and gentle, always tells me what to expect to feel during dental procedures He also squeezed me in to repair a filling I broke within 2 days. That was super helpful. He seems to have a wonderful medical mind with a definite holistic approach. I appreciate his commitment to continued research and learning also. He's been a voice of reason during crazy 2020. . And Noreen is an awesome hygienist with a positive energy and a kind manner that makes cleanings actually enjoyable. Favorite dentist by far! read more

Was just in for a cleaning. My regular hygienist is on maternity leave so I saw Vien. She was amazing!!!! I have sensitive teeth and gums and she did an excellent job without touching any tender areas. Clearly she is meticulous and a master of her craft. Ashley and Elena helped me at the front desk to ensure my check out process was smooth and I received the teeth whitening kit I needed. The New Era Dentistry team is phenomenal! read more

The best dentists and staff anywhere. Totally professional, very personable and knowledgeable. They really care about their patients.
