Dr. Carter and her staff were all welcoming and professional. My first visit I felt like I had been a patient of theirs for years. Thank you for caring for and about each of your patients individually. I will recommend this dental practice to everyone. Thank you, Jacqueline Greene Integrity Document Services read more

Please take the time to throughly research this dentist, including recent reviews on multiple platforms. Unfortunately all thw work done by Dr. Carter is having to be redone by another provider. I strongly recommend saving your money and seeking care elsewhere. She will not stand behind any of her work read more

Excellent care!! One of the best dentists I have ever gone to. Staff are very knowledgeable and doctor Carter is incredible at her job. I'm very pleased.!! She is gentle and I felt no pain. She works with great precision and detail to caring for the teeth. Thank you! read more

Extremely poor quality work. I had a crown as well as a bridge done by Dr. Carter and both broke. She doesn't care about the quality or care that her clients receive. I should have read further into her reviews before selecting this office. Do yourself a favor and find a different dentist. Thousands of dollars basically thrown away and now I have to pay to fix what she has done. read more

It's been a few years since I've been here, but I do not recommend this dentist. Her hygienist was very kind and knowledgeable. However, beyond her, I would avoid. I had 2 crowns down by her. The amount of blood I spit out during this process (large clots), amount of pain I experienced afterwards was unacceptable. Not to mention they literally glued gauze inside my crown that was in my mouth afterwards (could put the strands out past my lips, but was glued under). I had to have both crowns redone by a different dentist who was concerned over her work. Dr. Carter's office did pay for my new crowns at the new dentist, but that just makes me more concerned that I'm not the first one. read more

Please avoid this dentist. She is unable to spot cavities while they're small enough to be treated easily and equally incapable of doing justice to cavities when they are properly identified. Unless you ask her, she LOVES her shoddy workmanship. Best to leave your health and you money with another more competent and compassionate professional. Dr Carter found a cavity in my daughters tooth and said it was quite small schedule a filling. Brought my kiddo in and everyone was kind to her but when she came out, the tech nervously informed me that the cavity was larger than expected and that complications may arise. That's obviously not fun to hear but I hoped for the best. My daughter had a horrible recovery. Her whole jaw hurt, her ear hurt. It was awful. Then swelling and signs of infection came. I rushed her back in to Dr. Carter to get relief for her. The staff is always welcoming and kind and they still were, but Dr Carter's demeanor was defensive, which I found odd. I wasn't angry, just concerned for my child who was in lots of pain. She repeatedly said, "I like my work. It's good work." Very odd behavior toward a concerned mom and an 8 year old child. Nothing about this situation should have been about her. Her job is to improve people's health. I'm actually not interested in the quality of your craftsmanship. It is irrelevant, if the patient is experiencing significant pain! Time to show compassion, concern, and put those big brains to work on rectifying the situation so no future pain or complications arise. She prescribed an antibiotic and sent us on our way with an explanation as to why these things happen and it wasn't her fault. Again.... I never approached the situation with any anger or accusations. But her behavior raised red flags and made me very suspicious. Swelling did recede with antibiotic but my daughter periodically complained about pain. As soon as my insurance allowed it, I took her into another dentist. The very large filling in a very small baby tooth done by Dr. Carter had killed the root of her tooth. The tooth is completely dead. She is now scheduled to have it extracted. Fortunately it was a baby tooth and her adult tooth is set to come in, no spacers needed. But extractions are not fun and the only reason we are having to do this is because of the poor work done previously. I read through previous reviews and see that Dr. Carter has a history of this type of thing! I wish I had known! I'm so sad my poor kid has had to go through so much unnecessary pain. I wish this was our only negative experience! But I also was under Dr, Carter's care. I had pain that was sometimes serious and was sure I had a cavity. She assured me that I didn't and scheduled me for a cleaning a month later. She said that everything would feel better after that. When the pain didn't reside I looked in my mouth to see the tooth had a grey tint! I quickly scheduled another appointment and this time after a lot of poking around, she found a a cavity. I scheduled an appointment for a filling but canceled it.... too scared to let her at my teeth after what she had done to my daughter. read more

Be very weary of the many (unnecessary) procedures she recommends. She was very likable and personable, but is an absolute saleswoman... that's what a lot of dentists have become. She shaved too much off between my teeth for invisalign, creating 2 huge gaps at the end of the treatment and refused to fix it. She did offer, however, payment plans on a solution to fix HER mistake. Her staff then proceeded to take turns coming into my room to gawk at the horror. I left her office crying and confused. Shortly after, a root canal she did on me became completely infected and I had to go to a specialist to have it removed. I am shocked that she is still practicing as I am sure I am not the only patient with so many bad experiences with her. read more

BAD DENTIST!!!!! "Pay first upfront" $2,500.00 to save a tooth is their motto. Dr. Carter left a piece of an instrument in my husbands root canal which could be seen on an X-ray. He suffered pain and an abscess due to this root canal. We had a second, a third and a fourth opinion of three different dentists and they all say Dr. Carter should fix his tooth or return his money. She offered to return his money if he signed a release of liability document. He was not willing to sign said document until he knew there would be no more complications. Her staff also does not follow through on what they are supposed to be doing. They did not forward or ask for medical records before or after proceeding to work on him. Dr Carter finally returned the money she charged after several phone calls from other dentists. read more

She's the WORST dentist, I don't know how she got her degree! We moved here a year ago and needed to find a dentist, mostly for preventative dental care. On both my husband and my first visits she tried to talk us into getting braces...were both in out late 50's and braces are the furthest thing from our minds. I found out she also is certified to do this work...cha-ching! My husband recently had a tooth bothering him so she took ex rays and compared them to the ones she took 6 mo earlier and found a cavity she had missed. She filled it but 3 days later his tooth still hurt and he complained she didn't clean the filling off the side of the tooth and left the top of the tooth so sharp it cut his tongue. He went back and she told him he would need a root canal. He'd had enough and told her so, got up out of the chair and walked out. I was able to get him in to another dentist the following day and after that dentist said "why did she bother putting a filling in it, it should have had a root canal, it's too close to the nerve". He prescribed antibiotics because now it was inflamed, which caused the pain. I would not recommend her. We have had wonderful Dentists in the past, so we know what quality dental care should be and she does not come close. read more

Love this dental practice! Monique, the hygienist, is so sweet and very gentle. Both Monique and Dr. Carter make a caring and compassionate team. I love Dr. Carter's expertise and how thorough she is when answering my questions. Dr. Carter takes the time to help and explain things. Monique is a great hygienist (I am one, so I would know). If you are feeling badly about your smile or have dental pain, call this office. They will take great care of you without judgement. Their name should be Dr. Carter's Compassionate Dentistry. :o) read more

I don't know if this dentist is cheap or sadistic but when you start drilling a tooth, USE SOME SORT OF NUMBING AGENT! Nothing was used! Phony niceties doesn't make me feel better. Never again! Bye! read more

I've been to a lot of dentists in my life and Dr. Carter and her staff are by far my favorite. I first came to her a few years ago for a second opinion because the first dentist wanted to pull my tooth. She was able to save it and I was so impressed with her work and the care from the support staff. Whenever anybody asks who they should go to in Redding, I always refer her! read more

As a white knuckle client who has been afraid of the dentist since I was young, this group has made it really easy to go to the dentist. The care has been great. However, they have yet to be on time for an appointment. I always wait at least 15 minutes or more. read more

Dr Carter and staff are excellent and I can't recommend them highly enough. They care about you as,a whole person. And making money is probably the least important thing to them. They usually offer a free dental day once per year. Dr Carter seems to be a preferred provider for all insurances which is helpful. All the staff is mind and friendly. The dental assistants are very skilled and gentle as is the htgentist.Dr. Carter is very gentle too. I've almost gone to sleep during a procedure and have during a cleaning. Dr. Carter must be one of the most caring people around and hires staff that reflect that value. They always fit you in. I'm very grateful to have found this office. Sincerely, Mimi C Porter read more

My first visit to Dr. Carter wet splendidly. I am terrified of dental visits and always have a great deal of anxiety, but I was quickly put at ease by the staff and especially by Dr. Carter herself, who was quite personable. This was just an exam and I will be going back for a cleaning, but things have gone well so far. read more

Awful, only wants to sell Invisalign and made me feel ugly. I had braces for 4 years, apparently my teeth are still bad in HER opinion. She showed me photos of other patients who had much worse teeth then me and told me that's what my teeth were like. read more

Best experience every single time. I highly recommend Dr Carter to anyone who is looking for a competent, caring and honest dentist.

Denistry usually raises my blood pressure. It's hard to get comfortable with someone working in your mouth, especially when potential pain and/or drilling noises are involved. ( I have had my share of dentist office visits.) I am so glad I I contacted Dr. Carter's office, after a relatively recent move to Redding. She is wonderful and all her staff are competent and friendly too. I highly recommend Dr. Carter and her staff read more

Nice woman. Very kindhearted. Botched my root canal. But she gave me my money back so thank you very much for that. I now look up all dentists at The Dental Board of California read more

After 4 years of being a patient I remain thrilled with the service and quality at Dr. Carter's. Monique is the best hygienist I've been to and I love the consistency of care. The office has a culture of continuous improvement which I admire and respect. Thank you!! read more

Had teeth cleaned and checked by Monique the Dental Hygenist. She is the best. read more

I really love Dr. Carter!! She takes great care of our entire family. I am not good at the dentist and she makes sure every visit is comfortable for me from a simple cleaning to a root canal. Dr Carter and the entire staff are awesome!! read more

I saw Dr. Carter based on a referral from several other Mom's and am I glad I did! I had been putting off finding a new dentist since our move to Redding, but now I am confident that I have found one that my whole family will like! Her staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, but she sealed the deal! Her demeanor is gentle and caring, she make you feel special and cared for immediately. She takes time with you, explaining and giving you the attention you deserve! read more
