Dr Patel and his staff are AMAZING! They take such great care of their patients. I can't recommend them enough.

We have been going to Paragon Dental for 12 years and have formed a very nice relationship with all their staff. We are always greeted and treated so that it makes us feel like we matter and not just a patient. They take time to make time to ask how we are all doing, they remember our events and treat us so kindly. We highly recommend this office for all your Dental care needs. They are all so friendly, professional and caring which is always a nice feeling to be treated this way especially when you are going to the Dentist. read more

I went to modern dentistry for a check up got "treated" but had to wait a month to see a hygienist came to paragon for a second opinion and there's no other way to say this but they saved my tooth and overall smile! Hector alongside the whole entire team have been very caring,patient and understanding as I feel I've been calling them every week since seeing them in a panic of my teeth falling out but no! Doctor is amazing has the hands of a magician from the things I've seen him fix in my smile! Overall I would recommend this dentist office to anyone! They are so caring, kind and respectful. Thank you again Paragon dental! read more

Amber and the whole team here are wonderful and truly caring people. They showed me all kind of love and respect. When amber cleaned my teeth, she was very very caring in all she did. When I came in today, they took care of me with love. There is nothing more I can say except I will let everyone know about this wonderful dental office. God bless these wonderful people read more

So let me start by saying I'm 28 years old and my father instilled a fear of dentists from a young age. A few years back I got hired at Tesla and their dental insurance is too awesome not to go so I put my fears aside and looked into finding a dentist. At first I picked paragon because they were the closest, their literally a couple minutes walk from my house. but since I've gone to them I will not be goin anywhere else! Even if I move outta Modesto I will make that drive for my favorite dentist place. From the moment I first walked in it felt very comfortable the receptionist are very nice! I find myself having long conversations with them after my appointments! the dental assistants are great ! I love talkin to them as well! And both the dentists husband and wife are AMAZING!! Everytime I go into this place it feels like a second family its always the same people which gives a certain comfort to people who've never really been to the dentist so I definitely recommend place! Matter fact I just got out of a cleaning and knew I had to write this review ! im currently goin through Invisalign and im there regularly for check up and I actually find myself excited to go to the dentist, who knew ! Someone who went from never going to a dentist NOW loves goin! My teeth look amazing and my confidence is 100 ! If You seen my teeth right now you would never guess how crooked they were! i don't even remember how my teeth used to look til snap chat memories remind me LOL thank you to everyone at paragon dental, keep up the great work! read more

Paragon Dental - Waiting area - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Modesto, California

This is not a forced review. I am doing this to help others who, like me, was in search of a Dentist in my hometown. After nearly 18 years of coming here, I still love Paragon Dental. All the office staff and Dr. PATEL, make you feel welcomed and like a friend. They are very professional and caring when dealing with patients. They are considerate when delivering your results. They offer payment plans for those who need a little extra time to pay. The office is verrrrry clean and easy to get to. Plenty of free parking in open parking lot. Never a bad experience. Always a great visit even for treatment. No regrets!!! read more

I never leave reviews, but this dental office deserves one! I'm like most people, I'm not a huge fan of the dentist. I had some discomfort and knew I had to go in to see what was going on. I am beyond thankful that I came across this office. I went in did x-rays and ended up needing to pull my tooth due to an infection. Hector went over the next steps on how to keep my teeth clean, how to brush properly, use a waterpik the right way and went over my x-rays to show me what areas I need to work on. In my 27 years of living no dentist office as ever went over any of that with me. I will definitely be recommending this office to my friends and family! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Patel since I was a least 7 years old, maybe even 6! Now I am 23 years old and still I would never voluntarily change dental offices. The dentist and staff at Paragon Dental are some great people who always make you feel at ease. Thanks to these folx I've never been scared to get my teeth checked. They always look out for you as a whole person, not just teeth, and most certainly not just the money. They've always looked out for us to get the best prices and best service. Always transparent- procedurally and administratively, which is SO appreciated. Truly Paragon Dental is your neighborhood dentist that has your best interest in mind. read more

Great Dentist, great staff. Very if not the friendliest Dental place i've ever been. If you have 'Dental anxiety' like I do, then I highley recommend Paragon Dental. They explain in detail (if you want) what they are doing and what they think. I have never been so impressed with a medical group this much in my life. read more

I love it here! The staff has become more like family since I have begun my journey to get my teeth RIGHT ! I got Invisalign done that took no longer than 1 year and to finish the look I also got them whitened I do not live in the area but their amazing service makes it worth the commute! Definitely helped boost my confidence! read more

Paragon Dental - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Modesto, California

I have been meaning to leave a review for a bit. But kept forgetting. Here it goes. If I could give Paragon Dental 100 stars I would. My whole life I have had fear of the dentist. My dental anxiety was HIGH!!! And due to that my teeth were atrocious. Lol (to me) I needed a lot of work. From the get go everyone was so accommodating and reassuring. I can't tell you enough how amazing they made me feel and set all my nerves at ease. They reassured me that all would be ok and that they were going to give me the smile I had always dreamt of. In doing so they worked out a payment plan and planned my visits accordingly. Within about 2 months, (give or take) I had most of my major work finished and my brand new Caps in. I always shied away from smiling because I was so embarrassed. Now I can smile with confidence. I still think twice about smiling sometimes because I was so used to hiding it. Everything was painless and a breeze. Dr. Patel is so sweet and genuine. His empathy and sincerity he has for his patients speaks mountains. The assistants and hygienists are also very awesome at what they do. They know you by name and make you feel at home. Constant reassurance on their part and educate you on the health of your teeth. I actually look forward to my visits now. Never have I ever been able to say that. Honestly, if I ever move I will fly in for my appt. I have found my forever dentist and I could never express enough gratitude. Not having the confidence to smile and having constant worry and pain about your teeth is paralyzing. You don't realize how much it controls your life until you have your teeth fixed. A huge load has been lifted and I have to thank Paragon dental, especially Dr. Patel for that. I have referred my whole family here and still talk about them to everyone. I tried to find a before photo... but honestly I can't find any. I never smiled with my teeth showing. But I have posted what my smile looks like now. read more

Like most everyone, I hate going to a dentist but I had some major dental work needed. On a recommendation I went to Paragon Dental. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, experienced no pain, (even with a root canal) and they were quick to get me in. They explained the procedures in detail and I'm happy with the work so far. Not something I enjoy doing, but if I must, this place makes the best of an unfortunate dental situation. read more

I would like to say I had the best experience with any dentists in the area at Paragon Dental. I walked in and spoke with Hector , he was amazingly nice but thats not the entire purpose of the review , he is also very knowledgeable. A lot of the stuff he said I looked up on my own and verified all he had told me. I also got a second opinion and found out they are pretty competitive with their pricing so thats good. Another thing I absolutely love is that even though I had more work than expected , They organized into what needs to be done ASAP and what could wait until I can afford it , they didnt try to play the "all your work needs to be done now or it will be detrimental" scheme. Last but not least I am known to be sensitive and Dr. Petal was so understanding and gentle anytime I said I had pain he would give me more numbing solution and give me a few minutes to breath and not once did I feel that he was annoyed or trying to rush me. Great place I would recommend this as your primary or even as a second opinion just check them out I am sure you will be happy with your experience. * time in and out: A+, Barely sat down before getting called back! * Staff pleasent: A++++ , Thank you girls for being awesome! * work quality: A++, After leaving no pain, no gum swelling,nice work THANK YOU PARAGON =) read more

I have gone to this dentist and everyone is so kind.I even got my husband to come over here instead of his regular dentist.And he even said they were all nice and explaining what they were doing and Hector told us how much we are going to be paying for the work that was done.All the dentists there and the people in the office is so friendly offering us anything to drink which I never had anyone do that before.Give them a try you wont be disappointed Linda H read more

The best of the bestest dental office! My very first time ever experience was amazing! I can't or don't know where to start , from the staff to the doctor everyone was amazingly friendly & knowledgeable about everything they said or did. I felt like they were my family literally! I felt at home not a dentist office. From welcoming me, taking the time to go over my treatment plans, to trying every possible way to give me the right information and what I would need to get exactly done. Everything was perfect. I appreciate the staff and doctors effort in trying to helping me and not just get my money. Cheesy but true lol. I am looking at my new Dental's office :) read more

I absolutely love this place from the office secretaries to the dental assistants and definitely the Dr himself. They are the best. They have worked with my anxieties and I really taken the time to treat me with respect and good care. I would highly suggest them to anyone especially those with anxiety. Thanks guys!!! read more

Dr. Patel is an excellent dentist he is friendly and he takes his time to make sure he is giving you the best service. Hector and Melissa have excellent customer service they are bilingual and will go the extra mile for all their customers. read more

Paragon dental is the best dental office I have been too! Great friendly staff and environment! Always makes me feel welcomed.

Amazing people super nice fair prices Would greatly recommend!!! Hector is super good at explaining procedures and the cost. Dr Patel is genuinely friendly and funny. read more

What a difference a GREAT Dentist and Staff make!!! This team is top notch. Friendly, respectful, helpful, and gentle. I wasn't blessed with the best of teeth. As a matter of fact, I would dare to call me a "problem child" in terms of dental health. Dr. Patel cares to take the time to explain my options and is prompt in addressing any questions or concerns I may have about treatment. Once you are a patient of Paragon Dental, you will never hesitate or fear going to the dentist! read more

My boyfriend goes here and when i went with him, they were very very nice and made us feel welcome. They definitely care about their patients and they have some great payment plans they do their best to help you out. You can tell they genuinely care. Its our new dentist:) read more

Just to start off, I understand that being nice, or having a good bedside manner is a huge part of being in the medical profession- the people at this office are plenty nice enough, but I didn't go here because I wanted to pay people to be nice to me. I went in for a checkup, then for a few fillings. I was told that instead of several root canals I was going to get just fillings (they could save/salvage several of my teeth). Well, almost a month after and I can't use one side of my face, and I was told it would be another 2,000 dollars to fix something that I WENT IN TO GET FIXED. This is worse than dealing with a mechanic- I really wanted to give a good review but sadly I was/am more afraid of the dentist because of TACTICS like I just mentioned. Nice enough, but at the end of the day I'd really like to BE ABLE TO CHEW. read more

Dishonest!! Overpriced, too! I was looking for a new dentist and a friend recommended Paragon. Everyone was very nice and as others have said the building was clean, even fancy (free water bottles, etc.). However, I didn't realize that: 1. They were super overpriced. Considering the cost of the dental work, the water bottles were far from free LOL. I paid less for dental work done by a specialist (endodontist?) than I paid here. So check your insurance and see if it's worth the extra you will pay here if you don't have a lot of extra money to spend. 2. More importantly, I was FULLY honest with Paragon at ALL times. I paid them every penny they said I would owe them for the root canal I had done with them, and on-time. I gave them my insurance card and I told them that I had been to the dentist within the year and might not have enough left for the root canal they said I needed even though I had no pain. I wasn't sure I wanted the surgery but they said I needed it. So I double checked that they called my insurer and verified my eligibility. They said yes and I was fine, blah blah and that I should get the surgery done and not wait. WELL, it turns out they made a mistake. The whole point of the dental office requesting your paperwork from the insurer is so that they can find out how much coverage you have. They ordered my paperwork, received it, and then apparently forgot to look at it (or lied about it)!!! They TOLD me my coverage was sufficient but it was NOT. (BOTH bc they are priced so high AND because I had previously had dental work done in the same year, which I had told them more than once, they were off by more than $1,000.) Had they looked at the paperwork as they'd said they'd done, we could have simply waited until January for the surgery, when my insurance benefits would be available in full again. I was in no pain and the surgery took place instead in the middle of December, just weeks too early!! To make matters worse, they sent ME the full bill for THEIR mistake. Another $1,000 or so!! I called my insurer who confirmed that they had definitely received the paperwork. But when I spoke to someone at the dental office, I was lied to and told that they had only "asked by phone" and so "didn't know". Luckily, my insurer kept notes! The dental office didn't want to admit THEIR mistake. But they knew I had paid every penny they had told me the surgery would cost me (almost or over $800 I believe) and since the receptionist understood why my paying the extra bill seemed very wrong, they didn't send me another bill after we spoke. I figured that they accepted that I shouldn't be punished for their mistake (and/or dishonesty), and had decided to do the right thing and accept responsibility. Now...almost a year later, I get a letter from a collections company!!! This makes me so angry because I am the type of person who pays my debts honestly but THIS is not my debt, I paid my debt of $800! This is THEIR fault! I will be getting an attorney if they don't remove this debt. I am disgusted by the way they handled this situation. I can only hope that there is someone new at the office who didn't know the whole story and did this on accident. In the meantime, I have obviously changed dentists, even before receiving this collections letter. The dental staff did a good job but not any better than anyone else, and at a higher price for me even if I'd had the remaining coverage for it that they'd promised me I did, which I did not. :( EDIT: I would like to add one compliment, however. Because I was hesitant about the surgery and not wanting to have it (because I have a neurological disorder and because I was in no pain from the tooth that apparently needed a root canal), Hector, an office staff member, brought over an educational chart to show me what a root canal is and how it works. He explained it in detail, and I thought that was great. We should all have a better understanding of our bodies and of medical procedures. (Of course, maybe I should have listened to my gut instinct and still run the other way after how this all turned out, bleh. But in any case, I can say this one good thing about this office, and that the office staff women were generally pleasant and kind as well. I wish they could have just done their job, though :( And not cheated me. I would never recommend them to anyone after this, "nice" or not). read more

I should have written this review a long time ago, but I really want to give praise to Paragon Dental and all the staff. I have been coming here for about 5 years I believe and they always do an excellent job with a smile on their face. I always have a thousand questions and they're always knowledgeable and take the time to explain everything in detail. I have had cleanings a few other places and it was painful and uncomfortable, but every time I've been here the dental hygienist is very gentle and cautious. I will be coming here as long as I live in Modesto. Thank you to all of you who work there:) read more

What a pleasure it is to have an appointment at Paragon Dental! Dr. Patel and his staff are professional, friendly and fun ... What could be better if you have to go to the dentist? I highly recommend being one of their patients. You'll be treated with the utmost kindness and still enjoy your dental appointment. read more

My name is Debbie Davis. I had another appointment at dental office today. I love this place everyone are so nice and professional. They do great work on your on your mouth . No pain when you leave. Thanks all so much I enjoying going to dental office . Pardon Dental is the Best. Come visit the office and you will see for yourself read more

Love everything about going to see Dr. Patel and his staff and I used to hate going to the dentist before I started going here. They are GREAT with my son (5 yrs.old) involving him in every process, letting him look at his X-rays, hold the water sucker, and they have a tv and let him pick what cartoons he wants to watch. If you have anxiety about going to the dentist or you're looking for a dentist to take your child to, this is the place! read more

Always able to work with me for appointments with my busy schedule. They took care of my root canal and was pain free for my trip a day later. read more

So I first started going here a few years ago and I only did because I didn't have insurance so I found some places that would do payment plans. Paragon dental came up and they had good reviews so I decided to give it a shot. Like many people I hate going to the dentist. Who wants to go and get shots and have their mouth drilled on? Not me. From the moment I walked in the door they were nothing but helpful, nice, welcoming. Any good words you can use to describe them apply. I always tell them I love seeing you guys but I hate coming here (for obvious reasons) I moved many miles away and I won't go anywhere else. I always find myself coming back here. Great place to come to you guys! Highly recommend. read more

I absolutely love this office. Everyone is friendly and professional. They are quick to return calls and answer questions. Nothing but quality service. I have been going to them for 5 years now and don't plan and looking for another dentist anytime soon. read more

I have always been afraid of the dentist and have needed two implants for a while. The staff here is absolutely amazing. I've been coming here for years now and they treat you like family. Always extremely attentive and will go out of there way to make you feel comfortable. After years I decided to get my implants. I needed a bone graft and to me that was scary, but the process went really smooth. It wasn't painful recovery was quick and now my teeth look like they have always been there. Thank you Dr. Patel and the team for all your work. read more

I've experience empathy and favors awarded by this wonderful team. They are so nice and go out of their way to help. I've experience real professional people who have helped me and my boys. Thank you so much and my Invisalign treatment I have received here is remarkable my teeth look so much better. I can finally smile. Great place to get your dental work done. read more

Absolutely the best service and best over all dentist I have ever been to. My intire family goes here and now my fiancé does as well, they also do very well to work with you on insurance and paying for anything outside of normal routine cleaning. They have helped me through wisdom teeth, root canal, cavities as well as cleaning and other various things. Excellent staff and everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

By far the best! Dr. Patel and his team go above and beyond to take care of mine and my families needs. I was previously reluctant to go to the dentist due to past experiences of very poor treatment from other dentists and that has all changed since moving to Dr. Patel and the Paragon team. I use pay flex for many things and Hector takes on the task of seeing the payment through to the end. If you have ever used pay flex, you know what I am talking about. They treat my family like their family and recommend the Paragon Dental team to anyone looking for great dental care. read more

I had a very bad experience with my last dentist and the dentist that took over his practice when he retired, so I asked for recommendations on FB to find a new dentist. I went here based on those recommendations and was initially pleased, for the most part. The office staff is very pleasant and helpful. The office manager in particular is very personable and does a great job of explaining the procedures and financials. However, I am now incredibly unhappy with the lack of professionalism that I encountered yesterday. I had a crown done a couple months ago and at that time had a bad experience. The dentist had a habit of putting the chair I was in back very far and throughout the procedure, he would keep creeping it back farther and farther, to the point that I was literally upside down (in a trendelenburg position). I found this to be very anxiety producing because I knew that if something was dropped in my mouth, it was going to fall in the back of my throat. I clenched my fists and tried to survive the procedure despite this fear. When it came time for the dental assistant to place a temporary crown on my tooth, she had me in this position as well. I have NEVER had a dentist place me this far back before going to Paragon. Sure enough, the assistant was scraping off the excess cement and dropped a piece of it onto the back of my throat. I, of course, immediately reacted and tried to sit up, struggling and grasping for the arm rests on the chair to help me up because I was upside down! I could not get the material out of my throat and ended up swallowing it. Now you would think that a proper reaction from the assistant would be to ask if I am alright or to apologize. Apparently not for this person. She never once asked how I was and did not apologize for her error. She acted like I was overreacting and wanted me to lay back down for more! I was trembling and terrified. No one wants to choke and you wouldn't expect to have this happen at the dentist. So the next appointment I went to was yesterday for some fillings. What I really need is a root canal and crown for a large filling that fell out, but I have to wait for my insurance to kick over to the new year to afford it. So they wanted me to use up the little bit of insurance I had left on these fillings. I told the dentist at the start that I do not want to be put upside down again and explained what had happened before. He put the chair down in the position he wanted, which is too far, and I told him it would not work. He brought me up slightly (a couple inches) and I told him that is where I am comfortable. He then said that he could not work that way and would not be able to see enough. So instead of moving himself and his chair to a slightly different position so he could see better, he TURNED ME AWAY, hanging me out to dry with a broken tooth and no dentist! I am appalled at the lack of professionalism on display here. To say that you cannot function in your job because of a slightly different angle is absurd. I have never had a dentist need to put the chair so insanely far back like this and then to say that you cannot work with it any other way shows a lack of training and the ability to adapt. Keeping your patient comfortable should he of the utmost importance in any medical specialty and reasonable accommodations should be made to do that. Asking to be reclined instead of upside down is certainly a reasonable accommodation. They would rather lose 4 customers (myself, husband and 2 kids) than make such a simple accommodation. Now I have to search for another dentist. AGAIN. I cannot fully express how angry I am with how I was treated in both situations. read more

Best dental experience I have ever had. I was referred by a friend of the family. This happened after I had a bad experience at Western Dental. I was greeted by Hector who was at the front desk, answered all my questions, very pleasant experience talking with him. I was seen by Dr. Patel, he was very professional, explained everything in detail. Even reviewed my diagnosis from Western Dental, and informed me that I didn't need a deep cleaning that they recommended. Despite not having insurance, my visit was very reasonably priced. Everyone who worked there was doing a great job, it was very apparent that this dental clinic is being run the best way possible, by people that care about their patients. read more

I am also a convert :) I had not been to a dentist in 11 years!!!! I avoided the Dentist at all costs because of past experiences. I read the reviews here and thought....yeah right. Well, now I'm a believer. The office staff is amazing!!!! Everyone is kind and PATIENT I have some serious anxiety issues. I had an extraction (that's what you get for not going to the Dentist for 11 years) and a root canal (again what you get for putting off the Dentist) But....amazingly I was fine, was almost pain free. I did feel a slight pinch but so what!?!?!? Considering the work I had done really, it was a piece of cake. Oh by the way if you have cake, make sure to brush after :). They grouped the work I needed to have done, gave me a plan of what I needed done now, what could wait, what the expected cost would be. And...the actual cost was lower because Dr Patel didn't have to do something or other and ended up saving me money. What??? when does that happen? I'm really happy I found this place and I'm actually looking forward to having more work done. I never thought I would say that. I'm not afraid of the men in the white coats any more, well not the Dentists :) read more

I had been going to Paragon Dental for quite a while before moving an hour away. Life got in the way and so I just never got around to finding a new dentist. Here comes 2020 and now I NEED a dentist (pain, cleanings). I met with 2 different dental offices and let's just say, there are many reasons why I did not choose to go with them. I went back to Paragon Dental, (now 1.5 hours away from my new house) and I am very glad I did. Yes, I pay a bit more, which is my job to know to become familiar with my dental plan, but I love this office. Hector is great as are the ladies who work there. I love Dr. Patel and his wife, Dr. Patel. I am a dental coward and they sedate me for my procedures, do as much as possible in as few visits as possible, and with this last visit, sent me home with soup and bottles of water to ensure I took care of myself afterward. I really love this group and will go nowhere else for my dental work. read more
