After years of dealing with chipped teeth and missing crowns and trying to find a dentist I could…read moretrust and work with, in 2021 I started a dental plan with Dr. Pritchett. The road was long and not cheap, but outcome was well worth it. The Dr. and whole staff are very professional and kind. After 5 years I have a new smile that I'm very proud of and healthy mouth. Thanks to everyone!

I was charged $100.00usd for missing an appointment. I had…read morecompletely forgotten about the appointment because I decided to not return to Dr. Pritchett for the treatment he recommended because, I did not trust his ability to do it, or if I needed it. Also: The X-ray system used was ancient, painful and extremely inefficient. He still has the old system with the cardboard x-ray film, the kind they have to shove into your mouth to get the picture. Very uncomfortable, and it took a long time. I questioned the assistants actual training. Second: When Dr.Pritchett did not directly introduce himself. He mumbled a greeting as he stood out of my sight behind the chair. Third: he started cleaning my teeth with the jet water spray system. This system can be very painful if the Dr. does not know or Care how hard the spray is. I told him, but he said that was the system he used. When I told him to stop he said something like 'I guess I can go back to the old way using tools.' I would not recommend Dr.Pritchett. to any one. After declining to pay the late charge, I reconsidered and I asked if he would settle the late charge for $50.00? He declined stating that $100.00 is the policy. I really object to the charge on the grounds that this fee seems excessive and it was such a poor visit. The leftover taste in my mouth after this appointment was very unpleasant and decisive. It was my mistake to not act on my reaction and a cancel while it was on my mind. Lesson Learned.

Took my two girls here for some dental work and Dr. Tran was really caring and gentle. They had a…read morelot of anxiety about their first visit at this particular office and he put them at ease. He took care of their cavities and I've referred him to many other people in the county. I'm leaving this review because I stumbled on his yelpsite while looking for ortho and was surprised by the low stars. Majority of the low reviews seem like billing or scheduling issues, which seem more front office related. I did personally did not have any issues with the front office or feel rushed, but these concerns made by others do seem valid. On the flipside, we found the dentist himself to be very capable with regard to the dental work, having great chairside manners. I hope this review helps.

Also they don't want you to be in any pain, (I had root canal and there wasn't a large amount of pain,- also my nerve didn't want to come out so it took longer than usual) which made my anxiety go down a lot. I also have no insurance at the moment and they were more than willing to work out a plan (They have a thing where if you don't have insurance they will give you 30% off) This is coming from a person who hasn't been to the dentist in 8 years (I feel really guilty about it...) and hey, I even went back!

I relocated to the central coast in 2023 after retiring from the SF Bay area;…read moreI had an excellent dentist there for 20+ and missed her expertise; Due to my new location and new dental plan, I tried 2 other dentists in past 2 years: both were OK, but one practiced solo with (no other dental tech assisting) and the other was referred to me but, but after I visited, I was told the actual work I needed to have done was going to be done by someone else in her practice (who I could find NO information about....) -Another dentist referred to me by some other friends was "in network" with my dental plans, but was not accepting new patients... -THEN (finally).... ANOTHER friend referred me to Bauer Dental; I did a lot of research and was impressed by their website and the technology they utilize in their practice. I set up a consult from their website, got a consultation appointment set up rather quickly, and got to meet with both dentists, Dr. Bauer and Dr. Sivo to discuss a treatment plan. I should note that they are "out of network" for most dental plans, and they did explain the costs of their treatment and options for payment plans. My decision to choose Bauer dental was based on the professionalism I experienced from my initial visit, where I met with the dentist, their office staff, and dental tech, Jose, who performed X-rays and scans. I honestly did not like the options for some of the other "in network" options offered by my dental plan. DENTAL APPOINTMENT SUMMARY: -I just had 3 cavities repaired and a replacement crown put in by Dr. Sivo, and the experience was aabsolutely painless and the work looks and feels great. Dr Sivo, and his dental technician, Alex, explained everything and answered all my questions. They have the technology to make a dental crown in their office (and since I had these types of dental crowns previously, I never wanted to go back to having a temporary crown for 2-3 weeks, and then to having to have a return for the final fitment of the permanent crown). The entire visit, including the buildup and placement of the new crown, took only 2.5 hours. I was not rushed, and neither were they- It just seemed to go that smoothly and efficiently. IN SUMMARY: Frankly, I did probably end up choosing (by FAR) the most expensive option of all the previously offices I mentioned; However, I don't recommend looking for the "cheapest" option when choosing a dentist; I do recommend doing a LOT of research. I have (unfortunately) needed a lot of work done over the decades (I am 65) and I believe in paying for high quality dental care by dentist with extensive education and training. Bauer Dental exceeded my expectations for a high tech dental office They seem to be most advanced dental office I have ever visited, utilizing the latest digital technology and high end equipment, operated by their well-trained team, and I have lived in over a dozen cities around the U.S. If this type of practice appeals to your standards, I do recommend Bauer Dental. Also, They do offer options for different types of flexible payment plans, if needed.

I'm pretty much in shock with the amount of money it cost to have two crowns glued back on…read more I had two crowns that were joined together on my top previously finished implants by a dentist in Fresno and they popped off together. Called Bauer this morning, and while they advertised first visit free, I was charged $340 as it was a last minute appointment. Okay, I needed it done so, I agreed. I brought the teeth with me and after a full evaluation, they said the gluing on would be $690!! What was I to do? I needed the teeth on and while I visibly was shocked, I agreed. Yes, $1030 later, I walked out of there with a future plan and the price but I'm still reeling with what I just paid them!! They sort of grossly overpriced themselves for me to go back. Yes, everyone is really nice and the office is beautiful, but I just wanted the tooth glued back on and I'm so shocked by the charges, I doubt I will have them do further work. Too high of an overhead, too many people working there and I should have listened to my gut instinct on the phone this morning. I have never in my life been gouged like this to have a 10 minute process done, I should've left and bought my own dental glue. Literally, I'm sick to my stomach!!

I cannot begin to tell you how insensitive they are there. I explained over and over I did not have…read moreto any money to pay for anything my insurance did dot cover. I printed out my insurance info stating they covered extractions with no co-pay and they said it would still be another $500. They wanted to take more x-rays and ignored me over and over when I said I only wanted a tooth that hurt pulled and had no money for anything else. I had over $1,000 coverage on my insurance which would have covered one extraction, but they refused to do it without an extra $500. It's humiliating to repeat a half a dozen times I did not have it. They are simply just set up to milk insurance companies and don't care at all for people with limited funds. Michelle treated me like I was stupid would not shut up and ended up hanging up on me. They insisted in taking more xrays saying the insurance would cover those. I told Michelle I couldn't pay for any treatment, so what's the point? They (the doctor) are clearly concerned only with milking the insurance companies. Meanwhile my tooth still hurts.

After calling a few places that had either no one answer, a long wait, or someone who sounded like me calling was a bother, I called Nipomo Dental Arts. I was greeted by such a pleasant and happy voice I honestly thought it was an automated message (in a good way). I was able to get scheduled quickly too with them letting me know of sooner openings as they became available. Upon arrival every single person that worked there was super happy and said hello to me. All the people that worked on me were all very knowledgeable and caring about the process. No one tried to upsell me on anything For my cleaning, Rea was great! I don't think I've ever had a cleaning be so nice or less irritating. Even had to go back for my first cavities and the dentist was really calm and talked me through the whole process so I knew what to expect and feel. I even got a check up call the next day just to see how I was doing. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new or better spot. Really good and happy people that like what they do, and I couldn't ask for anything else.
