Anyway I get an appointment but first it's x-ray only - no cleaning. I take up the offer and come for my X-rays. Those huge x ray sd they stuff in your mouth - they hurt like crazy and the guy kept taking more and more pictures- he kept coming back to the same places and my gums and mouth started hurting like hell!! I felt like I was transported to hell.... Jeez!! I said enough and walked out!!! DO NOT COME HERE!!!

1 star for general incompetence at every turn…read more I was quoted 300 for a dental appliance, and then charged 1,000. After much to do, they eventually honored the original quote. I showed up to receive the appliance, and the assistant appeared with a needle to anesthetize me to fill multiple cavities. I have no cavities, and I had to refuse the shot multiple times before they realized their error. I left the practice and recently emailed to obtain records. After supplying my full name and date of birth, they replied with, "What is your Last name and Date of birth?". It took 11 emails to discover that the dentist who saw me was no longer at the practice, they do not retain records, and to contact him. They sent a long winded excuse, part of which reads: "His office has a new contact number and email address that we do not have on file. We recommend that you search for Dr. Ortega's current practice and contact his office directly to obtain the most up-to-date email address." I googled it, and his new office is...in the same building as White Oaks Dental. It's hilarious that they go out of their way to be unhelpful. If you are looking for a way to test your patience and add stress to your life, dealing with White Oaks Dental may be for you!

The Unquestionable Tooth…read more I'd been searching for a new dentist for a few years before being referred here by my gf, Carissa, last year. I normally prefer a smaller mom-&-pop type office instead of a dental mill, but this place kinda falls smack dab in the middle of both. The Good: *Dr Cho (the only dentist I've dealt with) is terrific; personable, affable, and tells you exactly what's going on and why. *The entire staff from receptionists to the nurses are all very friendly and can all take a joke. *They accept most insurances, as Carissa and I both have different types of insurance (Delta & Tricare). *They seem to be a one-stop shop for all dental procedures, according to their website. *They figure out your co-pay, and you pay at the end of your visit; no stupid bills in the mail to deal with. *They're very prompt, respect your time, and get you in and out very quickly. *Text reminders, and they will also text you if they have questions or issues that arise, which I prefer. Phone calls are giant PiTa, especially if you end up paying phone tag. The Meh: *They are *not* a Delta Premiere Dentist, so if you have Delta Dental PPO insurance, then expect to have a co-pay. *Not open on weekends *Maybe I misunderstood, but when I was trying to make an apt recently, I could've sworn the receptionist said they're not open on Fridays? However, their website, Yelp and Google, all show them to be open from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., so not I'm not exactly sure what that's about. *If you need a 2nd or 3rd visit, then they'll have to be a few weeks apart as apts are hard to come by. The Ugly: *Parking can be a bit of a nightmare at times, as their shared lot is almost always packed and lacks any shade. Street parking, however, does have some shade but can also be hard to come by. So, make sure you give yourself a few minutes before your appointment to find parking. TLDR: Great dental office that makes one of life's annoyances tolerable.

This will be a very unusual recommendation for Dr. Sawyer. This is a blast from the past! I was Dr…read more Sawyer's registered dental assistant in the 70's as well as a patient. The dental work he did for me was top notch. I was always grateful to him for his none-charge expensive dental work, (3) three unit bridges that I wore and kept through the years until recently. Thirty or thirty five years of wear is amazing. Because his amazing dental skills and how he taught me as his dental assistant I'm able to identify a good dentist from a mediocre one and it has been very hard through my life no matter where I am to find a dentist with the same qualities in the dental art and functionality as his. We have lost touch through the years but he is never forgotten. I love him dearly. Soky (used to be Wisehart) now Widowed (Vondett)

But with your practice, I feel a sense of relief that I can do anything when and if it comes to anything dentistry related. You really make me feel like I can accomplish things that I avoid due to my anxiety. I really appreciate the whole team so much. Dr. Dierks and Dr. Kamaradian are the dream team! Is it weird now that I look forward going to the dentist? I highly highly recommend anyone who has the least sense of anxiety when it comes to dental work. They make you feel like you're at home, and they sincerely care about all your needs. Just Go! Get that root canal, crown replacement, or whatever you need done! They will absolutely take care of you!

I brought my twins in, and the entire staff was incredibly patient, calm, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. They took the time to explain everything in a way the kids could understand, which made a huge difference. What could have been a stressful visit turned into something smooth and surprisingly easy. Dr. Santos was especially good with them--gentle, attentive, and genuinely engaging, which helped keep them relaxed the whole time. On top of that, I also had a consultation for myself and really appreciated the thorough approach. Instead of just focusing on quick fixes, they laid out a clear, preventative care plan that actually makes sense long-term. It feels like they're focused on keeping problems from happening, not just reacting when they do. The office is clean, well-run, and you can tell they care about doing things the right way. If you're looking for a dentist who is great with kids and also takes a thoughtful, preventative approach to dental health, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

It wasn't painful thankfully but they still treated it with urgency and booked me as early as I was available Monday morning, even called to offer an earlier time that day which I definitely took. I met with the staff and Dr. Dang. She took the time to listen to my concerns, hear my complaining about the totally unrelated gap in the front of my teeth because I didn't want to wear a retainer as the lazy defiant teenager I was, lol, and she even walked me through what she was doing (I have a curious mind!). I also asked about Invisalign but told her I heard it was pricey enough to make all my filling pop out. Dr. Dang fixed the filling and introduced a creative way to close the gap and wow! Who needs Invisalign. I didn't expect much given my gap but she figured out a new way to make it happen for me. I haven't had a gapless smile in over 10 years. Fun fact. I had a bit of a lisp when I talked before and voila. It's gone. I don't miss it. lol We might not really think about it but from my perspective, there is art in dentistry. I don't know how she did it but it looks great seriously. Whether I book my appointment with Dr. Phan or Dr. Dang, both are super patient, they listen and don't answer right away (a good thing in my mind). They think and walk me through potential options. The good ole days when doctors listened. I don't have to worry about them not listening here. Anyway, I'm super happy with my results and will continue to be a patient here fosho.
