Dr. Anderson performed the root canal yesterday morning. This is my seventh root canal. I've had…read morea couple done by my regular dentist, and the rest done by an old warhorse over the course of 10 years in his 70s who didn't want to retire. The 30,000' view - totally positive experience - from initial telephone contact and information giving, to arrival and the procedure itself. Dr. Anderson has a 3D imaging machine I'd not seen before. Now that was cool. But what impressed me the most was his ability to interpret the scans/images, ask questions, and arrive at a really pristine diagnosis. I'd had the normal intense pain from tooth #13, but had been unable to see my regular dentist for four days. By that time the pain had almost disappeared. The tooth causing the problems wasn't a problem any more. Still, it needed a root canal. I experienced no pain - a root canal these days is no different from my perspective as someone going through the procedure, than having a cavity filled. Dr. Anderson also discovered that the molar next to #13 was infected, but only enough that I was vaguely aware of a slight discomfort. That root canal was done by a regular dentist, not an endodontist. Unfortunately I'm going to need a reparative second root canal on that tooth. As an aside, last month my regular dentist had replaced an old crown with a new one on that tooth, and didn't catch the presence of an infection from the x-rays. Cudos to Dr. Anderson! Like others have reported, I got a phone call this morning from Dr. Anderson asking about my recovery from the root canal. I realized I'd not thought about the root canal at all this morning and that was my story.

After a long journey through multiple endodontists, I finally found my dental savior in Dr. Grove…read more What I appreciate most about him is his alternative approach to dentistry, specifically his use of oxygen/ozone therapy. Twice now I've come to Dr. Grove with painful toothaches, and each time he's been able to treat the issue without resorting to extraction or root canal, which was the recommendation from other endodontists I had visited. Instead, he used oxygen/ozone therapy to get rid of the pain without invasive surgery. Whereas other endodontists I've been to seem solely focused on profit, Dr. Grove genuinely cares about providing the best treatment for his patients. He takes the time to understand the root cause of the problem and explores alternative solutions that can address the issue effectively without unnecessary procedures. If you're tired of the cookie-cutter approach of many dental specialists who are quick to recommend extraction or root canal, I highly recommend making an appointment with Dr. Grove. His alternative, holistic methods have been a game changer for me, and I'm grateful to have found such a caring and competent endodontist. 5 stars all the way!

It turned out that not only is Dr. Grove a skilled endodontist, but he and his whole staff are extremely nice people. They were warm and professional - and patient! I'll take "skill" over "nice" any day, but it's a giant bonus when you get both! We never knew that a root canal can actually be painless! We're glad it's over, but if we ever need another root canal, we will go, "fear-free" back to Dr. Grove.

However, they all said no problem and said they knew I was in pain and they'd be happy to stay late. Then came time for the shots and i didn't feel a thing. The whole procedure was painless and almost relaxing! Can't say enough good things about this practice. Great group of people, thank you!

I wandered in thinking I was going to see the previous practitioner who had recently retired. But the warm welcome I received combined with stellar reviews on Yelp from her Santa Rosa practice convinced me to give Dr Loxley a try.

I would encourage anyone needing this kind of work to make an appointment with her. John B

I called up a couple including Santa Rosa Endodontics and was accommodated the following day itself, for a consult. I was attended to by Dr. Marina Awad. I had been referred by the dentist for a 'retreat' of the root canal (done just months before) but instead of straight away wanting to go for that, Dr. Awad took the route of doing a thorough reexamination, first. They did a detailed 3 D X-ray, physical examination, blotting paper tests, did the level correction of that tooth cap, asked Qs, made suggestions, asked me to wait for a few weeks and come back (in case I could tolerate the pain and discomfort for a few days) to re-assess if at all a retreat was needed or was it okay to wait for it to heal itself (as visibly all looked okay to Dr. Awad). I preferred to wait and revisit. The thorough examination was undertaken once again and certain valid suggestions were got once again from Dr. Awad. The best part about my visits to her is her understanding and patient attitude. One of the suggestion/option she gave me was to try and wait it out for another six months to see if the issue was coz the root canal needed time for healing or a 'retreat' is really needed due to some other issue, especially when visibly all still seemed okay. I agreed with her point of view & suggestion. She is a thorough professional and seems someone who is in no rush to 'retreat' unless that's necessary. I recommend Dr. Awad and Santa Rosa Endodotics!!

The front desk made everything smooth and easy, and the X-rays were quick and comfortable. The facility is very clean, efficient, and equipped with modern technology, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Dr. Vafaie, DMD, MMSC, along with Melvin, were absolutely amazing. They were patient, professional, and so efficient throughout the procedure. To my surprise, the entire root canal was painless--I left with no discomfort and no concerns. They even set up a follow-up in 6 months, which shows the level of care and thoroughness they provide. I am truly relieved and grateful that I was referred here by my wonderful dentist, Dr. Reyda. It's clear he only sends patients to the best, and my experience confirmed it. If you need a root canal or endodontic work, I highly recommend EndoArt--ask for Dr. Vafaie and Melvin. Their professionalism and excellent customer service turned something I was nervous about into an experience I'm thankful for.

They are so friendly and most important listen to you to the last minute without interruption. My bridge came out today so i go there and Dr Hartford did a filling on one of the tooth underneath the bridge ( had decay on one of them )and cemented back the same bridge that fell out, i asked him whether i need a new bridge he told no this is still good and no need for a new one. ( saved me approx $4,000) . He could have easily told me i needed new bridge, but his honesty plays big part here and you can feel he is so genuine and not greedy whatsoever. My bridge feels so good and i am very comfortable. I want to thank you again for your excellent work along with the entire staff including Dr Keonitzer. Am glad we have you here to be honest you are the very best. And always feel relaxed to be treated at your dental offices, that includes my entire family of five they all feel the same way. Musa A.

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed at Sonoma County Oral Surgery four months ago. It was…read moresomething that I was putting off for 7 years due to anxiety. The referral was written in 2019 when I wanted to get braces but I chickened out. Unfortunately, cavities started developing on all the wisdom teeth over the last two years to the point where I noticed my breath did not feel clean even after brushing, flossing and mouth rinse. I decided to come in for a consult to get my questions answered. Dr. Jiries Mogannam provided my consult. He answered all my questions and gave me my options. He explained to me that the wisdom tooth can give me more issues down the line even if I can patch up all the cavities now. His main concern was the oral hygiene of my mouth and to protect the nearby molars from decay that could be spread from the wisdom teeth. He was not pushy, I left informed and empowered to take the next step. Plus, I still wanted braces so it makes sense to get the surgery. The surgery was quick and painless because I was out! I was filled with anxieties the day before and even while sitting in the chair but I knew it needed to be done. I was in and out in a hour. The recovery was painful and that was expected. I followed all the instructions given in terms of oral care and food choices. I survived to tell the tale and I am the biggest chicken out of everybody I know so if I can do this oral surgery so can you! Thank you Dr. Mogannam, the assisting staff members and the front desk! Everyone was friendly and made me feel at ease.

AMAZING EXPERIANCE! Dr. Chavez is my go-to for things that you "think will be scary or painful" and…read morethey are NOT! I was referred to Dr. Chavez by my primary dentist for a tooth extraction and subsequent implant installation. Tooth extraction.... quick and painless. I was worried about the implant installation. I arrived at the office and was seen right on time ( a rarity in the medical industry) Everyone I encountered were above par, kind and attentive. I was walked back to the office; the procedure was explained to me in great detail. A few more assistants were in and out explaining costs and procedures etc. Dr Chavez came in and was very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained in detail the process the day of and in the future. A local anesthetic was administered ... again Painless. The local anesthetic took effect. Dr. Chavez and his assistant were a "well-oiled machine" and worked very well together. All during the procedure every step was explained as they were moving through the tooth implant installation. Before I knew it.. installation complete. Dr. Chavez explained how I should feel in the upcoming days and made it very clear that he was available for any questions. His assistant remained in the room and explained all of the steps I would need to do in the days following the installation and provided a step-by-step handout to refer to. She walked me out of the building. Another amazing aspect, the local anesthesia was exactly that ... LOCAL. it blocked the pain only in the area that the surgery was performed on (and I didn't feel ANYTHING!) my tongue, face, nose were not numb! I could talk and I didn't feel like I was drooling. Frome start to finish, I was out of the office within an hour. Dental surgery can be scary. I can honestly say I will never worry again as long as Dr. Chavez is performing the procedure. 10 out of 10 stars
