    I needed a root canal and was terrified because my first one, 15 years ago, was pure torture. When…read moremy dentist at the time gave me the Novocain shots, it felt like the needle was going through my cheek and he kept poking the needle several places, each time causing more pain. Then having my jaw kept open by a rubber block made my jaw sore for days. And the drilling and all took a wicked long time. So, I was very trepidatious when my new dentist said it was time for another molar to have a root canal and she referred me to an endodontist. What a great referral. Dr. Opp was calming and explained everything clearly. Yes, the Novocain shot hurt at first, but it was over very quickly and just one poke. I couldn't believe that it was enough of the drug as it seemed to be much less than other times I had Novocain. It was enough until she got to the top of the nerve, but a bit of drug administered inside the tooth (again just a bit of pain) took care of it and the root canal then proceeded with no difficulty. She uses this weird rubber frame to keep the tooth exposed so my jaw was fine afterwards. She told me when to contact my dentist for an appointment for the crown, provided there were no complications. On that, she said they had a 24 hour phone number if I needed help with pain or other issues. Before my appointment, I had to fill out an involved online registration. It asked for medical history and more, so it took several minutes to complete. I have only one complaint. Even though my dentist took x-rays of my molar two days prior and sent them over to Endodontic Associates, they insisted that I needed them again. Plus, they did a full jaw x-ray. It turns out it cost almost $400 and insurance does not cover that. That should have been disclosed up front, not when I looked at the detailed invoice once I got home. I hope I never need another root canal, but if I do, I hope Dr. Opp is still practicing.

I called the office , Jenelle was able to help me to coordinate , saved me money, time and unnecessary trips . I feel they are truly care about the patient . Good communications , quick response.

Fortunately, he was just as concerned about his leaving his patients in capable hands. When you form a 25 year relationship with your dentist, that's important! Apparently he knew Dr. Bingham Ivery early in her schooling. He recognized a highly talented dentist and brought her in. Ultimately she ended up buying his practice. The transition was slow, giving him an opportunity to introduce her to all of us. Wow, is she incredible. I personally love a dentist who is not overly aggressive. In dentistry, there are a lot of things that can simply be watched instead of drilled immediately . With proper care, sometimes enamel can be restored, etc. Dr. Bingham is amazing. Really amazing! I've had many things done with her in the last couple of years --some big and some small. I've been very impressed with her knowledge, assessment, and discussion of treatment options. This year has been particularly difficult and not only has she been incredible with me, she also referred me to a fantastic endodontist who helped me through a tricky situation. I recently also met Dr. Perry, who is now Dr. Bingham's partner. Super impressed! The hygienists there are amazing. You will definitely form a relationship with them, and they will take fantastic care of you! And you will be warmly greated by the women at the front desk, who also are more than happy to help you with insurance, billing, etc. Choosing a dentist is difficult, but important. You won't go wrong with Dr. Bingham and Dr. Perry!

    Happy to leave a fantastic review for Dr. Pisciotta. My folks are elderly and it's hard to find a…read moredentist who will take care of them well and attend to their dental issues. Dr. Pisciotta has been their best dentist by far. Also, a huge shout out to Connie, an amazing dental hygienist who goes the extra mile. Thank you to this wonderful team!

    I've been a patient with Dr. Pisciotta since I moved to Davis in the early 2000s, over 20 years…read morenow, with at least twice a year visits to his office in that period for preventative cleaning, usually with Connie (alternating with visits to my periodontist), plus occasional visits for acute issues. Without fail, at every visit Dr. Pisciotta, Connie, and his other staff are kind, professional, thorough, and effective. Today, I had to have some rather tricky work done with fillings of cavities deep on the tooth and a crown placement. As Dr. Pisciotta put it, this procedure was a "Black Diamond" ski run for a dentist, not a beginner run! As a health care provider myself, I know that feeling and appreciated his candor. I'm happy to say he and his team nailed it. Post-procedure x-rays confirmed his clinical impression - success! I'm about 2 hours out from the local anesthesia wearing off and have absolutely no pain and only a vague feeling of soreness. Dr. Pisciotta is simply the best and after all these years of benefitting from his great advice and work, I trust him implicitly. That's why I will keep coming back. I just hope he doesn't plan on retiring anytime soon!

    I have been going to Dr. Afkham's office in the past two years since I was unhappy with my previous…read moredentist, and Dr. Afkham's office was recommended by my physician. I have done preventative care and a cavity filling during my visits. I have been very happy with the service. I have a high gag reflex, and their office have been accommodating and patient, giving me numbing liquid to swish and trying x-rays multiple times until the pictures come fine. The doctor and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. After doing a filling, I never thought about that tooth any more, which means a good treatment! I really like their spacious and quiet office too. The previous office I used to go was crowded with patients and it was so hard to reschedule an appointment. I have been pleased with the flexibility of any rescheduling needed and the service. I highly recommend Dr. Afkham's office if you look for convenience and expertise.

    Dr. Afkham was polite and the front desk assistant was personable and talkative. The thing is, I…read morecame in because one of my teeth was super sensitive to cold, and he suggested it could be due to stress to my tooth which seems reasonable. Then I mentioned a line I noticed on my tooth and asked if it was a crack, he said he saw the small "crack" and warned me that if it ran vertically into the root of my tooth I would need a root canal. He instructed me to call in 3 days if sensitivity persisted to schedule a root canal. I though it was strange he only mentioned the crack after I did, so I got a second opinion. The 2nd dentist said the line was a normal part of the tooth and could be found on all my teeth (which I discovered was true after another close look). They instructed me to wait 2 weeks until further action. The fact that Dr. Afkham didn't tell me this and the difference between the recommended waiting periods leads me to believe Dr. Afkham wasn't paying attention to details and was quick to recommend a costly (and in my case unnecessary) procedure, which I don't appreciate.

He is funny and light hearted and he always makes me feel better when I'm having an issue or I'm stressed about any dental work I'm going to have done. He does amazing work. He's done an implant and a bridge for me and he always honors his work. I've been going to him for about five years now, even my kids look forward to seeing him at their routine cleanings.

    I was referred to this office by my regular dentist for periodontal work. Due to limited…read moreavailability, it took about four months to be seen. The procedure was a gum/skin graft on my front teeth. Before the procedure, there were already billing issues. The office attempted to charge more than what my insurance (Delta Dental) indicated would be covered. This resulted in extensive back-and-forth to ensure insurance was applied correctly and billing codes were entered properly. We eventually agreed on a total, and I paid a deposit. On the day of the procedure, I paid the remaining balance we agreed to and signed for. I returned for two follow-up visits to confirm healing and had no further treatment with this office. One full year later, I received a bill claiming I owed $850, with no clear explanation. When I contacted the office, I was told the billing codes had been entered incorrectly and that I now owed the difference. Delta Dental confirmed the office had used the wrong billing codes and advised them to correct the submission so it would be covered. The office refused to fix the coding and instead threatened to send me to collections. After continued disputes, the balance was lowered to $450, though we still did not believe we owed anything. To avoid collections, we set up a payment plan ($50 down and $115 monthly). The balance was paid in full. Despite this, I was later sent to collections "by mistake" and told the office would correct it. Then, I received another bill for $115, which they claimed was due because they had "forgotten to include a payment." This office is disorganized, aggressive with billing, and unwilling to take accountability for their own errors. The constant changes to what was owed, threats of collections, and lack of transparency made this an extremely stressful experience. Proceed with caution. I would not recommend this office.
