I know it sounds strange to be thankful for a root canal, but that's exactly what I am…read more I called this office on an emergency basis because I needed treatment before a very important upcoming surgery. They were able to get me in the very next day due to a cancellation, and I couldn't be more grateful. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt calm and reassured that everything was going to be okay. Becky, the dental assistant, was phenomenal. She immediately put me at ease and helped calm every nerve and fear I had about the procedure. The entire team works like a well-oiled machine. They always seemed to have the correct tools and materials ready before the doctor even had to ask for them. It was honestly so impressive to watch them work together--it felt like watching a symphony. Everyone knew their role, and they executed it flawlessly. As for the root canal itself, I was in absolutely zero pain. I know that's hard to believe when it comes to root canals, but it's true. I was mildly sore afterward for a couple of days, but at its worst it was maybe a 1 or 2 out of 10, and Tylenol was more than enough to manage it. I'm incredibly grateful for the entire team and the care I received. They took an experience that I had been dreading and made it remarkably easy. I can't recommend them highly enough, and I genuinely wish everyone could have such a positive root canal experience.

I was shocked at several offices I initially called, to find out how much they charge. To me, their prices border on greed. I feel VERY grateful that during a recent hike in the Sierra I connected with a fellow participant. She alerted me to the stellar work she's received over the years from her long time family dentist, Dr Smith. And happily I discovered that he is the opposite when it comes to money - having set up a financial in-house plan that greatly reduces your cost without sacrificing quality work. As a person he is also generous in giving back to the community. This year he took two months off to bicycle across the country with a group of 11 others, to raise money for MS. There's a heartwarming story in the office next to a map showing the route they took and the difference money raised for this research has made in greatly advancing the treatment of MS. As a former RN, I really get it in being able to appreciate how much these patients have needed this type of break through. Finally, it's here! I think one's character says a lot in how others are treated, and in this case his patients. That certainly was my experience today when I met him for my appointment and left feeling confident that I'd found my new dental home. Kelly was my hygienist today and is absolutely fabulous. She really knows her stuff and says the rest of the staff are also quite competent. If any new hire doesn't measure up to this level of patient care, they are immediatley let go. I traveled extensively over the past decade and can honestly can say this is one of the best dental offices I have ever been in.

And I'm SO glad I did…read more My general dentist assumed I needed a root canal based on how long pain persisted after a filling and offered to do the root canal himself. But Ryan was able to show me on a scan exactly why I needed the root canal and gave me the confirmation I needed. If you can have a specialist do your root canal over a general dentist, I would highly recommend it -- and Dr. Ryan Franklin & staff are the best! He even let my daughter look through his microscope and took the time to make her feel special. I hope you never need a root canal, but if you do -- go see Dr. Franklin.

Dentist: Ryan J. Franklin, Oakhurst: 2025 Aug 26 (5 of 5)…read more I've always had a fear when visiting the dentist office. I remember the sounds of screeching birds (that was actually sound from a high-pitched whine caused by the drill). I'm glad the dentists I see now do not use those tools. The other thing I detest is that bright overhead lights. I may have watched too many sci-fi movies because those lights look like an alien space ship hovering over my head. However, my fears were dispelled when I saw Dr. Franklin. He was kind and gentle, answered my questions and spent a good amount of time with me. I went to Dr. Franklin for a second opinion. The good doctor allayed my fears of the work prescribed by the other dentist that I saw. He explained in detail the pros and cons of dental work, and the time to get the work done. After a thorough examination, Dr. Franklin said I have a gentle bite. Overall, I've had nothing by superb assistance from this office - from Sierra, at the front desk, to Grace, who took the Digital 3D X-Rays. Source 'google': "3D digital technology at a dentist's office provides enhanced diagnostic capabilities and treatment planning through intraoral scanners that create detailed 3D digital models of a patient's mouth, and Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scans that offer a comprehensive 3D view of teeth, bones, and soft tissues. This advanced technology allows for more precise, less invasive procedures, and the creation of customized dental restorations like crowns and bridges using in-office 3D printing." I fully put my trust in Dr. Franklin and would certainly recommend anyone who is looking to be treated with care and attention. A big 'thank you' to everyone here. Keep up the good work.

Weeks later, the tooth still hurt and when I went for my next visit, I informed him of the problem. Without even looking at my recent x-ray or examining the tooth, he said "you need a root canal". I asked why I had a filling done two weeks ago when you are now stating I need a root canal? He gave me a non-answer and told me to stop tapping on the tooth. My gut feeling told me something isn't right, so I got two opinions (which were both the same diagnosis), I did not need a root canal and the reason the tooth was still hurting is because the recent filling was incomplete. PLUS, I did not need three crowns, only one and on a different tooth than the scheduled three by Dr. Berger. He also tried (unsuccessfully) very hard for me to have me two mini implants, which the other dentists said I needed a bridge for the two teeth in question. Had I continued with Dr. Berger, I would have paid $2,000+ for unpleasant, unnecessary root canal and crown procedures. This dentist is a total scammer.
