Omg. Let me tell you how much I LOVE my new dentist. To start, I have had terrible experiences with dentists as an adult that turned into some serious dental anxiety. I went to a new dentist today thanks to my new insurance. I have never had a better experience. My hygienist Stephanie works really well with anxiety patients. She talked me through EVERYTHING. Showed me every X-ray and picture. I've seriously never had a more through cleaning or explanation. They strongly focus on preventative measures, so I am feeling better equipped. They offer a couple different methods of sedation for any procedures to help with the anxiety (also I am really hard to numb, I've never had a filling where I didn't feel the drill). I've never felt more heard or supported by a dentist before and I am feeling incredibly grateful that I found this place. read more

My wife went to this dental office to see about getting new dentures The dentist did a thorough examination of her gums and the dentures She has already and took an X-ray also. The dentist told her that her Dentures are still good. She has a small sore on her gums he did an Adjustment to her dentures, and he said to rinse with salt water and do This for a week. If it still bothers her the Dentist said to come back, and They would do a re-line for her. I feel this Dentist and the office are HONEST because they could have easily charged us for new DENTURES, and we would have paid. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DENTIST OFFICE. read more

I showed up to a nice clean office. Nice staff. The dentist tried to tell me that I had a tongue tie and said I should get a sleep study done there. I worked with tongue tie experts in my job and knew that was not the case. They said the same to my husband when he came in. When he asked why we should get it done there instead of through insurance we were told because we bought this machine and need to use it. Of the 4 appointments I had with this office three times they told me the Dentist was sick. I had to go in two additional times to have fillings fixed because of mistakes. The last time I went in for my cleaning and they told me the dentist was sick. Again. I asked they why I was there at my appointment without the dentist and they told me I didn't need to see her. I have been patient enough. I should have listened to my gut the first time. It's a pretty place but terribly inconsistent and not worth it. read more

I have had one of my wisdom teeth breaking down, but only occasionally painful for the last several years. My case was urgent but not emergent. I got scheduled for an appointment within a few days. The office is welcoming and friendly, and for my 2 appointments, they got me in right on time. I know that my dental problems are my own fault, but they are sooooo non-judgemental, which I appreciate. Today I had the wisdom tooth extracted and it was as pleasant as it possibly could have been. I opted for the nitrous oxide and I'm so glad I did. Dr. Shahgaldi also listened to me telling her about having to have extra anesthesia in the past and made doubly sure that I couldn't feel anything. I didn't even know that the tooth was out until she told me it was out. The only blip in the process was the fact that one of the roots didn't come out with the rest of the tooth, but she got it out and then cleaned out the infection that had developed. I have a bunch more dental work to get myself back on track, but I feel like I'm in the right place. read more

I've spent most of my life only going to the dentist when something breaks or falls out. Dr S and her team are the first dentist/s I've actually LOOKED FORWARD to visiting! Amazing care, they actually listen to patients, I've been going for several years now and I'm happily one of those normal folks who go regularly now. read more

They cancelled my appointment I had set for months with 1 hour notice. Front desk staff Lee is rude and I won't return.

Everyone here is so professional, caring, loving and thoughtful. I am so happy I am using them as my dentist, they are so knowledgeable and really help explain why they are doing each step. I felt confident leaving knowing exactly what I had done to my mouth and was SO happy with how everything turned out. They are HIGHLY recommended. read more

I made appointments for my kids three weeks ago, showed up 10 minutes early and then waited with them in the waiting room for 40 minutes while three people who came after us were taken back for appointments. I decided to give up waiting and find another dentist. Something to consider for anyone sensitive to air fresheners: They use a terribly strong vanilla-scented one that clung to our clothes and hair even after we left. I think I'm still off-gassing faux vanilla. Blech. read more

Poor informed consent. Beware of hidden charges when you get your bill. Went in for an initial visit and cleaning. They charged $30 for "oral hygiene instructions." Didn't want it. Didn't know about it. Was told they just do that for everyone in their first appointment. read more

I first choose Serene Dental because of its proximity but I stayed because of the service. Absolutely amazing staff. Kind, flexible and attentive. Easily the dental experience that I have ever had. Strongly recommend! read more

After two cleanings and a new crown at Serene Dental I'm starting to soften on my fear to see the dentist. They work very gently (as far dental work goes) and inform you about the steps they will take and what to expect. I'm used to be in pain even after a procedure and I can say that the crown work was without any after pain at all. They even caught that my insurance "forgot" to update my benefit percentages for the new year - saving me some money. I highly recommend Serene Dental Birgit read more

I've been going to Serene Dental for 4 or 5 years, initially because it was in my neighborhood. I've since moved across town but continue to travel here due to the high degree of professionalism and care I have received. Hygienist Stephanie is the most expert and caring hygienist I've ever come into contact with. I visit several times a year due to gum issues, and she has always been gentle yet honest with me about our work together. Dr. Shahgaldi is a pro, though I've had less contact with her (knock on wood). Front office staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this practice to anyone. read more

AMAZING!!!!! So kindhearted, intelligent, compassionate, and they were even understanding of (and willing to work with) my financial issues!! Gentle on sensitive areas and very empathetic - I don't ever wanna go to anyone else! read more

I googled local dentist that took my insurance carrier- I needed to be seen ASAP as my husband and I are being sent to oversees and the military requires you have both a physical and a dental physical completed prior. Serene Dental went above and beyond to fit me in the very next morning because they understood the urgency. From the gal who took the initial call to the dental hygienist, Stephanie who did an exam on my teeth & special cleanings and then Dr. Shahgaldi who completed needed fillings and a crown, I was impressed. I felt very comfortable and at ease that I was going to be taken care of. I trusted them 100% with their recommendations, knowledge and care. I highly recommend this dental practice as I've never been treated so well and felt so taken care of. read more

Everyone here is Amazing! Somehow they managed to put together a staff that is both very efficient and have great people skills. They have educated me without giving any guilt trips and are genuinely trying to improve my health. And Inga is an insurance genius. At the end of my very first appointment, she had my treatment plan done, explained to me what my insurance would pay for and what could be done before the insurance ran out and what could wait until next year when the insurance refreshes. Thank you so much all!!! read more

I have been going here for almost all my life when Dr Cammann 1st had the practice. I have been very happy with all the through explanation of services and what it will take and cost to perform them. The staff really takes the time to understand your needs and what is important to you in your dental health. I have never had a bad experience and always feel taken care of every time I go. Going to the dentist shouldn't be a negative visit. Serene dental makes sure your taken care of each and every time I visit read more

The dentist lied right to my face, telling me my daughter had a filling in one of her front teeth, when she didn't. I could see plainly on the X-ray that there was no filling there. When I said there was no filling there, the dentist told me that if I didn't believe her I could find another dentist and then proceeded to THROW MY DAUGHTER AND I OUT. No, I'm not kidding. With a great big gesture of her arm and a loud voice (in front of other patients), she said we could "get out". All because she made a mistake and I called her out on it. Totally bizarre experience. DO NOT USE THIS DENTIST. She is absolutely nuts!!! read more

Wasn't a big fan of the dentist but the staff was great. At the end, I had to unexpectedly return because a filling wasn't drilled down enough - was a free visit though. I also would've appreciated a price estimate beforehand. read more

From the moment I walked in the door, I felt that I was there number one priority. They worked me in last min and I was greeted and seen right when I walked in the door. The entire staff was so professional adding in a clean and welcoming atmosphere, I was instantly at ease. The doctor worked up an extensive dental plan while I got one of the best cleanings of my life! I was worried that this kind of service i was not going to be able to afford but After talking with their billing specialist that is conveniently right in the office they were able to work with my insurance and other payment options to make sure I was able to get the care I deserve alI I can say is, I have never been so pleased with a dentist! read more

Everyone in the office was extremely friendly and welcoming. Dr. Shahgaldi was extremely thorough, gentle, and careful when filling my cavities. Both my husband and I will definitely be going back. read more

I was looking for a new dentist and bought a groupon for Serene Dental and got x-rays, exam, and cleaning for $79, which was too high a price for the "service" I received. After the initial cleaning, I went back again for deep cleaning. The hygienist proceeded to poke me directly in the lip with the novocaine needle. Turns out this person was actually doing a live "interview", which means they were considering her for employment. No one checked her work. I didn't appreciate being treated like a guinea pig and let them know. Then, I needed a crown replaced. The first appointment to make the temporary crown, they checked my gum pockets to see how the deep cleaning worked, which took about half an hour. Then the work on the crown began. An hour later, my jaw muscles went into spasm. The dentist kept telling me it would only be a minute...but 15 minutes later, I couldn't take the pain and I told her that. I was told that most people don't have a problem with keeping their mouth open for a temp crown to be made. What they seemed to forget was that I had my jaw open for a half hour before the crown procedure even started. I really got the feeling that I was being a big bother. When the perm crown came in, she inserted it and told me to bite down. I bit down and the crown shattered in my mouth. As I was removing the shards from my mouth, she told me - no problem - they could glue it back together. I asked them instead to order a new crown. She was obviously annoyed. Fast forward a couple weeks, and she inserted the second perm crown, and once again, it cracked. Clearly the lab she uses is not up to par. She said she could contact the lab and have it repaired in a couple hours. I told her to please order a new perm crown and to put on another temp crown as I would be seeing another dentist in the future. She seemed totally shocked that I would want to see another dentist and in a letter, stated that I had 14 days to come back to her if I had a problem with the temp crown, but after that time, their services would no longer be available to me. Nice touch. I've never, ever had an experience like this with any dentist before. My recommendation is to avoid this place at all costs. read more

Great experience! Painless. Professional. Thoughtful. Comfortable. Everything you could ask for in a dental experience. Also has great hygienists who are a delight. Highly recommend, especially for those who have delayed a visit out of fear. Lewis read more

I don't love going to the dentist, but the friendly staff at Serene helped to make it as enjoyable of a process as possible. They seemed to have up to date equipment, and good conservative practices, not just looking to fill and drill. I will be going back to Serene in the future and will recommend them to anyone who asks. read more

David C. Professional, Clean, Friendly Staff and great quality and commitment. THANK YOU!!

I had the prettiest smile for my wedding! Dr. Shahgaldi is wonderful and an artist. As a child a dentist used composite to increase the size of my peg laterals to fill gaps. I neglected to have them fixed as I grew older. They were yellow and had dark yellow gaps below the gums after they receded. She spent over two hours chipping away and cleaning them in preparation. It was hard work. I avoided doing this for years out of fear of pain. Dr. Shahgaldi was calm, gentle as she could be, and explained everything so well. I experienced very little pain. She placed temporary crowns and I went to the lab myself to have my permanent crowns matched in color. She put my permanent crowns on two weeks later and added more composite to the side of a tooth next to it to minimize the gap. I feel so much more confident with my smile. I was happy to avoid braces. I also really love my hygienist Stephanie. She is very efficient and gentle. They have also helped me with my grinding by giving me regular updates on my damage and I have a grind guard now. My teeth were a mess before Serene. They are a great team of professionals. I couldn't be happier. My husband loves them too. read more
