    I've had really bad experiences with dentists, BUT Cedar Smiles Dentistry has helped change my feelings and experiences towards dentist appointments. The intake form is very detailed, and even asks if you have had negative experiences at the dentist before. Seeing that they even were asking that question put me at ease, and made me more comfortable trying out their office. The staff and doctors are kind, professional, and informative. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with them!

    Happy Valentines Day  Smile More Best Dentistry!!!!

    I am so blessed to have found this dentistry!!…read more Let me start by saying, I have a *very* high level of dental anxiety. In the past, I have had so many bad experiences with dentists ignoring pain signals, rushing through everything without pausing to explain anything, and even recommending unnecessary invasive procedures. Thank you so much to Joanna, Stephanie and Dr. Armin for helping me today. I went in with a lot of embarrassment and worry after neglecting my cleanings for two years, expecting the worst. The entire team was kind and patient with me, and I had the most thorough exam and cleaning I have ever had in my life. They have all the new equipment and offer excellent explanations. Stephanie the hygienist was so compassionate and went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable. Joanna even came in and reviewed the exact cost of the recommended treatment plans, including what is covered and not covered by insurance. Truly transparent. When I scheduled my filling on the way out, they were also accommodating with my scheduling needs. I still can't believe they accept Denti-Cal. Truly, what a blessing.

    Today was my first appointment at Serene Dental Care. Everything started well with the X-rays and…read moremy consultation with the doctor, who informed me that I had no cavities. He then explained that I might need a deep dental cleaning and that they would verify what portion my insurance would cover. After that, the doctor left the room and the office manager came in to explain that my insurance would cover part of the cost, but I would still need to pay approximately $575 out of pocket. I told her that I was only interested in a regular dental cleaning. Her response was that they could finance the treatment and that I could make monthly payments of about $95. At that point, I felt that they were more focused on selling additional services than listening to what I was requesting as a patient. I politely repeated that I only wanted a regular cleaning. She then said she would speak with the doctor. After speaking with him, she returned and told me that the doctor could perform a regular cleaning, but that I would need an antibacterial treatment that would cost approximately $75. I was honestly surprised by how many obstacles were being placed in front of a simple routine dental cleaning. In the end, I told them that I had other important things to take care of and that I would come back another time--which, unfortunately, I will not. The entire visit felt like a waste of time, and I never received the cleaning I had scheduled and expected. My experience left me feeling that the priority was generating additional revenue rather than focusing on the patient's needs and dental care. I hope future patients are given clear options and allowed to make informed decisions without feeling pressured into treatments they did not request.
