I've never described a dental cleaning as relaxing before, but that's exactly how my visit to Next Dentistry felt. Candy, my dental hygienist, was absolutely amazing. She was kind, gentle, and took the time to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire appointment. Instead of feeling like just another patient, I felt like someone she genuinely cared about. She was incredibly thorough, but everything she did was done with such a gentle touch that it honestly felt more like a spa treatment than a dental cleaning. I walked out with my teeth feeling incredibly clean and a smile on my face because the whole experience was so much better than I expected. Everyone at Next Dentistry was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. If you've ever been nervous about going to the dentist, this is the place to go. And if you have the chance to see Candy, consider yourself lucky. She made what is usually my least favorite appointment one that I'm actually looking forward to next time. read more

These guys are the best dentist. Let me just say that you guys will not be disappointed. The front lobby was so clean and they offer coffee, tea and water as well as snacks while you're waiting.

They were very patient listening to my concerns and they worked hard to addressed the situation. I highly recommend them all. The price was very affordable. read more

As a very nervous dental patient, they have always been calm and supportive and careful about my needs.

Best Dental office hands down. My dentist Dr. V Vazquez is amazing because she really listens to her patients, and she makes sure that what you want out of your dental visit, you get. And I also love the staff because Juana B. also took great care in making sure I was happy with my smile before I made any final decisions.

NEXT Dentistry - I highly recommend this dentist office you will be so glad that you joined the family - General Dentistry Near Me - Salinas, California

I was feeling pain to one of my molars. Called Next Dentistry (at the suggestion of my husband who is also a patient there and has nothing but positive things to say) and the staff who were super sweet were able to get me in the same day as a new patient, and then scheduled me for a deep clean (with Candy) and fill (with Dr. Vasquez) within two weeks. Bri did the intake and asked what was most important to me as a new patient. I said feeling comfortable. And, they've definitely made sure I feel comfortable. During my deep clean Candy made sure that I was feeling okay as she completed the procedure, and even gave me a blanket (how sweet!). She was super informative and thorough. Dr. Vasquez was very thorough, informative, and honest. She let me know from the first day the type of work I needed and made recommendations as to future procedures. I will be following her advise. I also got a nice welcome gift, Ora Care Mouth Wash, which works very well. I'm looking forward to continuing to visit NextDentristy and obtaining further guidance from such a talented team. Thank you! read more

I drive 45 minutes each way to go to this dentist because I consider them my luxury dentist. They are really nice and accommodating, they set me up with a blanket and headphones and tv and sunglasses and chapstick and they use gas if you ask, so the generally awful experience of being at the dentist is made as comfortable as it can be. I'm afraid to go anywhere closer to me because I'm not willing to downgrade. Also, they have a new hygienist I think her name is Bree or something, and she remembered me and was really sweet. All of the hygienists are. The dentist is nice too. If something doesn't feel right they all take it seriously and are very responsive. read more

Update: the providers here are great but Beware surprise billing! They had me sign an agreement that itemized their billing prior to any treatment, which was really nice, however 7 months after a cleaning I received a surprise $360 bill. When I called to ask about it, they said their previous billing staff no longer works there and said I'm stuck with the bill. No real explanation other than I was lied to by previous staff. I asked how is that fair to me? The person on the other end didn't really seem to care. I'm sad because I really liked this office but I'm on the fence about returning now. Surprise bills are the worst. read more

Best customer service. Best dental experience hands down. Excellent follow up and communication. Quickly booked me, and fixed 2 major issues I was suffering from which was created by a former dentist practice in Monterey, all within 2 weeks of making my first call. Absolutely highly recommend NEXT Dentistry 200%, 10 stars! read more

NEXT Dentistry - My happy teeth! - General Dentistry Near Me - Salinas, California

This was my first deep cleaning with Next Dentistry. All of the persons in the facility are wonderful, but the care that was given by Candy during my visit was impeccable. She was very nurturing and welcoming. She walked me through every step of the way, checking in to make sure the comfort was still there during her cleaning routine. She provided a blanket, massage selection on chair, and headphones to accommodate me. After the cleaning was done she instructed me how to keep my teeth clean longer by demonstrating flossing techniques. At the end she provided a warm towel to soothe and clean my face from any mess that occurred during the cleaning routine. I was so happy after my visit. I definitely recommended Next Dentistry to everyone and I tell my friends/family every time they ask. I forgot the names of the ladies that assisted me in the previous visits but they were too nice as well. Dr. David completed my extraction of my wisdom tooth and checked in on me constantly during the procedure. I'm all healed up and feeling great. read more

I took my daughter here when we got new insurance and her pediatric dentist asked us to take her to a new doctor. We saw Doctor David.... In her whole life she's never had any cavities and on the first visit we where told she had 8!!!!!! Something in my gut told me not to trust it, so I took her to get a second opinion. She STILL DOESNT HAVE CAVITIES. They where going to preform work on my daughter that wasn't needed. He was recommending to drill into my daughters good teeth. That is totally unethical. read more

I had to have a procedure done at Next Dentistry with Dr. Veronika Vazquez. She goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable as can be before the procedure. From the minute I walked in the door the whole staff was doing everything possible to make you feel at ease. The dental office itself has got to be the nicest I have ever been to. Coming from Morgan Hill it is a bit of a drive but well worth the time it takes. read more

Candy is the best and most gentle hygienist ever. Her manner and customer service is above and beyond. Thank you, Candy!

Great experience with the staff and doctors very welcoming environment. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Cleaning I have had many hygienist over the years. I wanted to share my experience with Candy at Next Dentistry. She really took the time to explain where my problem areas were. She showed me with the brush where I needed to work. When she asked what was the most important to me regarding my cleaning that day I told her I really did not want any pain. Candy applied some numbing gel which was a great addition to my normal cleaning . She was gentle, informative and caring. It was the little things she did that took my cleaning experience to another level. Dr. Hemingway please let Candy know what a great job she is doing. Gratefully, Myra read more

Excellent office! Very friendly staff and very accommodating schedule. They always put comfort first and communicate well!

Best dental care in town! The doctors and dental hygienist were terrific! Do yourself a favor and check them out.

I've been going to Next Dentistry for a couple years now and just went for a clean up & now have a new RDH that goes by CC. She went above & beyond and couldn't ask for a better experience super professional and great personality. Left feeling amazing and would recommend her to anyone! read more

Candy is the absolute BEST HYGIENIST IN TOWN!! You need to come in and schedule your next cleaning session with her

Used them before.. Great Experience, clean, convenient, 5 stars... Now 1 year or so later.... New owner/management , set up appt to get some new work done and nobody informed me that they were no longer in-network... sooooo i paid twice as much for the co-pay and wasted my time with appt since the coverage % is 40% less using in-network provider... Not cool, they should of informed me that they were no longer in-network... I wont be going back to them for what I feel what a lack of transparency/disclosure on their part. Yes, i had to pay the co-pay visit and will get the smaller work done since i really need it ASAP read more

For starters I have not been to the dentist in years. The dentist was the boogeyman to me growing up but I'd figure I needed to touch base with one again since I was having problems. As soon as I arrived the staff was very friendly. I was attended by Sandra to go over my dental history and she later did the initial assessment. She was very welcoming and friendly as if I was a long time client of theirs. Despite my childhood fear of the dentist, Sandra's warm welcome made it much more easy to readjust returning to a dentists office. Thank you Sandra read more

As a brand new patient to this dentist, words cannot express how happy I am to have found NEXT Dentistry. Their slogan is 100% correct, you definitely WILL love the difference. I know I do! Coming here is like a breath of fresh air! The office itself is very nice, comfortable, and inviting- way different from any other dentist office I've ever been to! The staff is wonderful! So courteous and amicable, you feel like a friend when you're here not like a patient with a chart number! Dr. Frahm is great! She is professional, compassionate, and genuinely kind. I felt she was really listening to my concerns and needs. It showed when I read the handwritten message she included in my welcome card! I look forward to working towards a better, healthier smile with the help of all the amazing people at NEXT Dentistry. read more

This is the best Dentistry Center I have ever experienced. From the staff at the front desk, to everyone I've encountered, they have all been kind, considerate, and a pleasure to interact with. I especially want to share my experience with Candy, a Dental Hygienist. By far, she gave me the best cleaning I have ever gotten. She was extremely meticulous and gave me excellent dental advice. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and highly skilled Dental Hygienist, look no further! Candy is who you have been looking for! P.S. I never wright reviews, but people need to know Candy. read more

I went to lunch with a friend. We were talking about our dentist experiences. I told her about Dr. Hemingway's office. From the minute you walk in the door the staff does all they can to make you feel comfortable. Offering you coffee, tea, cold drinks. They take you to a room, set you in the chair. They offer you headphones and move the hanging television into your view. Next comes the remote, and a warm blanket. She turns on the message chair. She puts chap stick on your lips. Laughing gas comes next. When you are done, she gives you a wet face cloth. Aspirin comes next, month rinse, and a prescription for pain pills if you need them. Can you think of any thing else you might need? Right, neither can they! Dr. Hemingway's assistant can not be any better. She was a true find. Good for you Dr. Hemingway. SORRY REDUNDANT............... read more

NEXT Dentistry is on a whole other level when it comes to your dental experience. They have a palace-like office, have tea, coffee, and cold drinks available, and the staff are super friendly and hospitable. As I was getting a dental cleaning, my dad offered the receptionist my business card, and they took the time out of their day to follow my business Instagram account and like my posts. Super friendly and nice! Highly recommend! read more

I just love this place! Went for my semiannual cleaning today and had another wonderful experience. I relaxed in the reclined massage chair (plush), placed the Bose headphones over the ears and watched the Giants game (TV mounted this on the ceiling) while Candy worked her manic. She really does outstanding work. read more

I have finished my process and all I can say is I was so blessed my dentist recommend Dr.Hemmingway. My TMJ has been 99.9% fixed. My symptoms are gone and I feel like an entirely different person. The staff and Dr.Hemmingway have made this uncomfortable processes so lovely. The rooms are comfortable and everyone is constantly trying to help. If you have TMJ or think you might this is the place to be. They have many financial options and solutions to help restore your bite. I can not thank this beautiful team of people enough. I am finally able to eat without pain, I can open and close my mouth without pain and locking. Dr.Hemmingway is the most skilled and experienced person in this industry by far. His staff is so incredibly kind hearted, sweet, and knowledgeable. Thank you so much again to everyone in this office who helped me have my life back. I recommend this office 100%. read more

Always a great experience with the team at Next Dentistry. The staff displays utmost curiosity and professionalism to their patients care and well being.

My entire family and coworkers are patients with Next and I highly recommend their services if one is searching for a great provider. read more

Update June 2020: The new healthcare safety fee is totally fine and understandable but it is unethical not to notify patients prior to their appointment that they will be charged a fee that insurance does not cover. They did not do this and rather waited till after my appointment and blindsided me with a surprise fee which again is very unethical for a business to do. Attention front staff: please notify all patients of this new fee prior to their appointment so they are not blindsided thank you. Normally I would give this place 3.5/4 stars. Staff is always friendly, doctor seems fine, the hygienists are fabulous. Today, I experienced an American Horror Story teeth cleaning. Unbeknownst to me the hygienists are out on Fridays and subs fill in. Well, this particular sub was a nice woman, but violent in my mouth. I was terrified the entire time as I watch her soak up my blood with gauze throughout the cleaning. This was a simple 6 month cleaning and there shouldn't be blood pouring out of someone's gums. This wasn't a little, oh I need to floss better blood. I was actually injured in multiple places on my gum line. I was afraid to eat afterward and am seriously concerned about getting an infection in my mouth or worse that bacteria entered my bloodstream through one of the wounds which can occur. Google it. I'm in pain and took some Ibuprofen and pain killers, on top of multiple salt water rinses. Warning: Do not get your teeth cleaned on a Fridays as the normal staff hygienists are out that day. In my almost 40 years on this earth, I have never had this issue. I have good teeth and have had no major issues only the occasional small cavit read more

Candy gave me a wonderful experience. I've never had a cleaning, which gave me a relaxing spa-like experience. She numbed me with some liquid substance before cleaning, which I really appreciated. The topping of everything was, she also gave me a little blanket and sunglasses, so I was ready to go. Thank you Candy! read more

As most of us, I was terrified to go to the dentist. The sound of the drill..the smell of teeth being shaved down. However, that is a thing of the past. My wife convinced me to go to the dentist after I took a long leave from my dental hygiene. Right when you walk into Next Dentistry you can tell this place is different. It's a very warm, relaxing waiting area. Once I was called in to have them check out my oral situation, I was sold. They work with the most up to date, state of the art equipment!! While your getting your work done, you have earphones and a drop down TV so you can relax and take your mind off the procedure. One of the biggest fear for me was a needle in my mouth. Next dentistry has (I don't even know what you call it?! Lol) basically an electric, pressure sensitive needle do-hicky. You didn't even feel the needle go in!!! Before you know it you're numb and watching ESPN. Haha!! Dr Hemingway is an amazing, caring doctor whose personality and style is seen through his staff as well as his work. Everyone you meet here and/or work with will leave you asking yourself one question... "why did it take me so long to come here!!?" read more

Once again I have left next dentistry completely satisfied and impressed with their level of professionalism. They are a state-of-the-art the Facility with exceptionally qualified people. I encourage everyone to give next dentistry I try on their next dental appointment. You will not be disappointed. John Palsma a very satisfied patient read more

The first thing one notices when visiting the office of Doctor Reber and his partner, Doctor Hemingway is the high level of organization that is exhibited. From the reception desk through the examination room to the hygienist and into the back office functions such as records and billing I was impressed with the high level of quality. I was very impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the entire staff. Doctor Reber's manner inspired confidence that alleviated my natural trepidation and fears. He explained, step-by-step the processes that we were going through so I could understand them and so I could actually assist with my treatment. That in itself went a long way in building my trust. The outcome of my treatment was beyond my expectations. My smile is bright and I can now truly... "Smile with Confidence." Thank you again Doctor Reber! Doctor Reber has expanded to a new location in Morgan Hill. http://www.serenitydentalmorganhill.com/ (408) 778-4440 read more

I bet their receptionists are constantly telling the patients tthat they made it; that they are indeed at a dental office. Why? Because it looks like a ultra elegant law office. They offer free water, juice or herb tea that you can sip while you wait. Then when you are called to have your work done you are led down a beautiful hall with statues and plaques that look very professional. When you are sat down they give you bose head phones and give you a TV remote. With a huge flat screen mounted on the ceiling you are swept off to "la la land" and you no longer care what the dentist does to your teeth once the gas is placed gently on your nose. Dr. Hemingway and Dr. Mike are great Dentists. I highly recommend them. They have this amazing machine called a cerec ( I probably spelled that wrong). It allows them to do the work in one day that typically took a return visit. Five Stars place and Five star service. I wish we had the option to give more than five stars because Next Dentistry deserves six. read more

I just had the best spa ‍ treatment/dental cleaning by Candy at NEXT Dentistry. I always look forward to my cleanings with her. She is so good at what she does and I can tell she really cares about her patients. Candy goes the extra mile to make one feel at ease. Today, she welcomed me with a chilled water, offered me a warm blanket, Bose headphones, a fluffy pillow and shades. My teeth were throughly and meticulously cleaned. During the cleaning, Candy checked in with me to ensure the process was painless. As always, thanks for the 5-star experience, Candy! read more
