Excellent dentist in Vallejo! Full range of dental care (cleanings, cavities, etc) plus cosmetic options like braces, veneers and implants. Friendly staff and Dr. Alex is a great dentist - made sure I didn't feel a thing during my procedure (was fully numbed) which I really appreciated. They take Delta Dental insurance. I highly recommend them! read more

I went for a routine cleaning today and had a new cleaning tech and a new doctor. I was told the business has been sold. I left without being looked at by the doctor. Overall, this was a very bad experience for me. I have anxiety about the dentist. Dr Cervantes was always gentle and aware and helped me better my dental hygiene. Today, however, the cleaning started, and I don't think the tech had even read my chart. After the cleaning, which was painful and I did not get a flossing or the normal medicine, I met a new doctor. If I would have known what I was walking into for this apptmtn, I could have mentally prepared myself. However, to walk into this unprepared with anxiety, was horrible. I went to my car afterwards and cried. I will not be going back. Ithink Bianca is still there and she is excellent with anxiety, but I felt so embarrassed and somewhat taken advantage of that I will be getting a new dentist. read more

A near painless experience - both in the mouth and the pocket. I highly recommend them.

I have been a patient here since I moved to Vallejo in 2019. Overall, my experiences have been very positive, but this time not so much. First, and of course most importantly, everyone that works here is professional, competent and likeable. And the costs are reasonable. That's huge. But I am wondering if their practice is now too large to accommodate my needs. Patients are strongly encouraged to book their regular cleanings 6 months in advance. That is routine, and I have never had a problem with my prior dentist changing an appointment and getting a reasonable new appointment time. When I had to reschedule an appointment for a cleaning scheduled for November 8,'22 I was given a new appointment for April 20, '23 - nearly 6 months in the future. There is a cancellation list, but I wasn't called until late February and ended up getting seen today ( I did get a call offering me February 17 but my husband had an urgent dental need so I gave it to him). Four months does seems to me like an excessive wait for a cleaning. When I arrived today for the rescheduled appointment at 8, the doors were locked. I did get in at 8:10 or so and the office was frigid. Never took off my coat and wished I had worn mittens and brought a blanket. The person doing my cleaning told me that when another hygienist arrived they would measure my gum pockets to see if my gum line had receded anymore (standard procedure). That never happened. I didn't mention it as at that point I just wanted to get back in my car and blast on the heater. It felt rushed like there was another patient ready for my chair. I sure hope they add another hygienist so I don't have to find another dental practice. read more

I've been coming here for years because they're truly the best! The entire staff are so kind and efficient. Gaby at the front desk is always so kind and welcoming! I got my teeth cleaned by Selena recently and she was so informative and thorough. She gave me a lot of tips on how to step up my oral hygiene which I think is nice to be reminded of every 6 months when you get a teeth cleaning. Overall great care and experience. read more

Damn. Here again for my checkup and Angela is the amazing tech who did the best job ever on my teeth. She was so soft and gentle around my gum line and very firm around my teeth. She should have been a violinist with her amazing finger dexterity. Hopefully she works on me every time I come. She reminded me of KC and JoJo. All my life. read more

I would like to say that I highly recommend Dr. Cervantes for dental work. I am a new patient and my first visit was fantastic. I am very afraid of Dentist but he made me feel so relaxed. He was able to numb me without causing me anxiety. He was highly recommended to me and I'm so glad I trusted him for my cleaning and filling. He's my new dentist now. I will return in 6 months for another cleaning. I thank your staff as well. read more

Any dentists office will tell you "were here to help people, not profit off them," but it's up to the customer and their experience to really decide that. I had Dr. Cervantes do my evaluation, and I can say with certainty that these doctors are truly here to help people with their dental troubles and maintenance. They are extremely knowledgeable and professional, they will help you diagnose what your issues are, and they do it because they care about people, not your money. Dr. Cervantes went through his diagnosis with me to make sure that I had the knowledge and power to make the right decision for me. That is what health professionals are really about, not to just tell you what needs to be done and take your money. The key to a great practice is simple, it requires great people. This is a great dentists office, it is filled with great people, that care about your health and well being. Support this great business, support these great people. Dental troubles can be scary, but you are in good hands here. I was a new patient, and they got me in the very next day when I called with a slight emergency. If you're hesitant, just call them and ask, their receptionist is super nice. Thank you again Dr Cervantes and your awesome team! I'll be recommending your office to everyone in your area! read more

If you need the most nicest, gentlest, caring dentist in the entire bay area and way beyond you need to go see this pair! I have seen Dr. Cervantes several times long ago when i needed intensive care done and he was so great and Dr Prado ( his wife) has got to be pretty awesome just because she is his wife. I have never recommended a dentist to anyone before but i highly recommend this business! Truly the best! Actually give them 10 stars! read more

I just had my first visit here today and so happy I found a great dentist in Vallejo! Took me years to find but Yelp did not let me down at all with this one. From the moment I stepped in the office until I left everyone was super nice and friendly! I'm not good with names but the assistant that took my x-rays was very nice and concerned about the discomfort of the piece you have to put in your mouth while they take pics. She offered to allow me to take a break at times between the different positions she needed to place the mouthpiece. And the dentist that did my cleaning was super nice and had the most gentle technique I've ever experienced with a dentist! This was the best experience I've ever had at a dentist office! So happy to have found this location and look forward to my next visit. Thank Cervantes and Prado dental and staff!!!! read more

Just had a tooth extracted today by Dr Cervantes and I must say it was as close to painless as I possibly could have expected and I'm very grateful for that. I mean I couldn't feel the needle at all, the man is good, just a minimal amount of pain, practically nothing. The staff were friendly and pleasant and the Bill was lower than quoted and I thought very reasonable. I expected more pain in my mouth and my wallet. I understand Dr Cervantes and his wife are both Army Reserve officers. I was a 12bravo grunt (peacetime) myself so I hope to have a little conversation about that when I go back for cleaning next month. read more

I took a bad fall at work in mid February 2019 I needed extensive dental surgery. The search began to find a workman's Comp dental Dr , which my personal dentist was not . An which by the way is no easy task . I was referred to 3 different dentist before I landed with Dr.C he began my treatment with the most extensive & complete examination I've ever had . He not only paid attention to my injured area but my entire mouth he corrected the areas the I need the most work to make me whole again. He was very attentive & patient & walked me through every step of the way . He made sure I was happy & comfortable with each step his staff is professional & friendly Gabby calls you at home to make sure your ok it was just a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE After a very traumatic time in my life so I just can't say THANK YOU enough to Dr.C & his entire staff so if you looking for a family dental practice that's still give that personal touch this is the one !!!!! read more

Five stars for Dr. Prado! I have severe dental anxiety and sensitivity; Dr. Prado and her staff made me feel at ease, they were patient and gentle with my care and had a warm and kind approach. They took their time with each of my procedures and operate with the highest integrity, making sure the work is done correctly. I would highly recommend them for any dental work and especially for those who have fear or the dentist. The best dentist in the Vallejo area! read more

***If you have fear and anxiety related to dental care, you must come to visit Drs. Cervantes and Prado.*** I have had debilating fear for years. I have suffered health problems due to infections related to poor dental care including dangerously high blood pressure. My first appointment was less than a week ago. I was in so much pain. Since then I have seen both Dr. Cervantes and Dr. Prado, had two extractions, deep cleaning and a filling and am no longer in pain - AND NEVER WAS IN PAIN DURING THE PROCEDURES!! Both dentists are attentive and responsive to patients during procedures and will give additional care if you are in discomfort. All experiences are different. However, I am someone who had a nightmare experience last year. A dentist who basically said suggested procedural pain was unavoidable with teeth in the condition of mine. I can say with Dr. Cervantes and Dr. Prado, I have experienced no judgment, tons of compassion and a team of folks who are creative problem solvers. They understand the system and how to meet your needs within those bounds. Today, I feel 100% better. No soreness or pain. My blood pressure is dramatically lower!! I have more work to do, but their back office team is helping me be manuever through my insurance while the Drs. advise of procdure in order of the negative impact on my health. I have seen patients from all cultural backgrounds come in and get the qualifed, empathetic care every person deserves. Which may sound like a given, but that has not been my experience. I came to this office after seeing a review from Tracy here in Yelp who described her experience and made it sound like this whole team goes above and beyond. I know now that is an understatement. I hope those who are in fear, will also see this review and come give these caring professionals a chance to positively impact your health and faith in the dental profession. read more

Everyone here is so nice! They are VERY gentle and tell you step by step what they are going to do right before they do it. They have conversations with you to distract you from what's going on, cause we all know no one likes going to the dentist! I've only been in twice and they already memorized my name. The office is very clean, there is a tv in the waiting room. Would recommend them! read more

If you read thru my past reviews you will see that I only write reviews on my best and worst experiences. Therefore my posts should either serve as referrals or warnings. lol. In this case, please take this review as a referral. I don't go to the dentist nearly as often as I should and I find when I do it's never a pleasant experience except in this case. Everyone in the office is so friendly and welcoming. If you're in search of a good gentle dentist then look no further! read more

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE DOCTOR FIVE STARS, BUT HIS STAFF REDUCES IT TO THREE STARS. I first met Dr. Cervantes at Hercules Dental in Hercules, CA., where he was practicing a few days a week in addition to his Vallejo office He is a very kind and gentle individual and a dentist that takes the time to explain concerns as well as offers treatment options. Dr. Cervantes left Hercules Dental and now maintains his practice in Vallejo. I called his Vallejo office and made an appointment. After rethinking the appointment, I called the Vallejo office and spoke to his staff with my concern as to whether or not my x-rays and chart were needed from Hercules Dental. I was told by the staff if I could get it they would like to have it. I also left 3 messages for Dr. Cervantes to return my call regarding a concern I wanted to discuss prior to my appointment. I never received a return call. I was told by the staff that he just didn't have time to call me. I have been meet with nothing but rudeness by his staff in Vallejo. I requested that my 2 insurance companies be called to check coverage. I was informed that the first insurance would not cover my exam since I had meet the requirements for the year and that I would have to pay cash for the appointment. When I asked if the staff had called the second insurance, the response was hostile and I was informed that I had indicated that I wanted to use up the first insurance. Does this woman have the ability to think outside the box? Common sense, which she apparently doesn't have, would kick in and a call would be made to the second insurance company. Instead of offering solution for a patient and working in that patient's best interest, Dr. Cervantes' staff just doesn't cut it. He's an outstanding dentist with a very poor performing staff who just happen to have a darn job. Sadly, I will not continue my relationship with Dr. Cervantes because of his staff. I don't want to have to deal with idiots on the front line to get to the dentist. read more

Great service, I had to get two fillings and my cleanning done and they did a great job. Their prices are affordable for uninsured people like me. I also brought my Dad and he received the same great service I did. read more

I do not write reviews, but because there business practice and staff exceeded our expectations. My wife was very happy with the work done. I had to write this review a week later after my last appointment because I felt the same about their service. I thought all should know; I had a lot of work done and my wife not so much. The service and the smiles were the same every time on the phone or in the office, and they knew us by name. When we arrived for our appointment they were always on time and never having us wait. On a scale from 1 to 10 and 10 being the best we rate this business a 10+ Ray & Maria read more

This review is mostly for the front desk staff. They've been so helpful over the last couple years with helping me figure out how to spread my insurance out to pay for all these of these ridiculously expensive procedures. They are always very friendly and they laugh at my stupid nervous jokes. The dentists themselves are pretty nice if a bit clinical, but I expect that from most dental and medical professionals. They communicate the situations effectively and answer all the questions I have. I really hate going to the dentist a lot, but I appreciate this place making the process less daunting and nerve wracking. read more

Dr Cervantes has been my dentist for over a year now. He and the staff are friendly, very helpful and attentive. My mouth has never been better. I highly recommend them!! read more

I've been going to Dr Cervantes for about 5 years now and I am definitely a long term fan. He is super friendly and his bedside manner is great. Dr Prado tends to work on my kids but there have been a couple of times that I've seen her on a visit and she does not disappoint either. Both of them are knowledgeable and they surround themselves with employees who want the company to succeed. I would definitely give them a try if you're looking for a family dentist in Vallejo. My entire family comes here and they treat us like family. Gabby and her front office staff are awesome as well. read more

Extremely professional and polite, I felt welcome from the moment I walked in the door. Dr.Prado was very gentle and completed my work much faster than I expected. The wait time for new patients isn't ridiculous and my follow up work was handled quickly. I am so glad I finally found a reliable dentist ! read more

I've been coming here for a few years now and everyone here is so helpful and nice. It's 40 hrs drive crossing the bridge and it's always worth it. Dr. Cervantes is so efficient and pleasant during my filling appointment as well as Dr. Romos.Thank you everyone for making my appointments always pleasant. Go Gabriella!! read more

The Doctors and staff are very friendly and professional. They do excellent work and are very accommodating for you schedule.

I recently moved to this area from San Francisco, and I transferred my Dental care to Cervantes and Prado Dental. Dr. Cervantes is a very professional and caring Doctor. He and Dr. Prado are very kind and helpful with my children dental needs. My daughter and son get very nervous at their Dental appointment but both Dr. Cervantes and Dr. Prado handle the situation remarkable. Plus not too long ago my nephew had an accident and lost a couple of his front teeth. So, he was seen by Dr. Cervantes who spend hours, making sure he was back to normal, he stayed after hours and his final work was impressive. Just like nothing had happened. At my nephew's Dental check back in Spain, his Doctor said, the job Dr. Cervantes had done was excellent. In addition, Their staff are always very attentive and friendly. I'm happy I found the right Dental care for my Family. read more

My family and I have been going to Cervantes and prado dental care for years and I have to say both Doctors are amazing. I had a great experience every time I go. I would recommend this place 100% read more

Since I was a kid I hated dental appointments & still get nervous but the staff is extremely nice & helpful. Dr Cervantes & Dr Prado are as well and make the procedures go smoothly. read more

After having a horrible experience with Western Dental i NEVER wanted to visit a dental office again!! i woulda rather had my teeth rott out of my head (which they were).. but my sister found this place and ohh did they change me and my attitude towards dentists! Dr. Cervantes i want to say is THE best dentist in the WORLD! lol. (cant really say) but he is gentle, explains everything thoroughly and made me love getting my teeth worked on!! i tell everyone i know if they need dental work done that this is the place to go!! read more

I was involved in a serious car accident years ago, that caused a lot of different, serious dental problems. I have seen numerous dentists over the years, only to have my dental health continue to slip further into decline. Of the many dentists I've previous seen, (none of whom were able to actually sit down with me, & outline a complete course of treatment, that would address my multiple dental issues), within a relatively short time period, until I met with Dr Cervantes. He took a few days to look over & weigh all of options available, for the many different, complex issues involved, & find the best, most cost-effective approach possible, for fixing all my ongoing dental problems, rather than trying to fix each of the issues in an ongoing, "piecemeal" manner, which, over the years, has wasted much time, work, & money, in addition to causing many more additional problems. His staff is wonderful, very warm & caring, always willing to take the time to answer any questions I may have. I am looking forward to beginning my treatment with Dr Cervantes soon. I am very excited, & looking forward to finally feeling "complete" again! read more

The staff was friendly the place was clean but dentists work isn't about the building. They numbed me good I hardly felt the needle (excellent start), they tried to make me comfortable with sliding something between my top & bottom teeth so my jaw wouldn't close (very appreciative) considering they were doing a few fillings so it was taking a while. I kept feeling them kinda drill away which I thought was normal... Now the bad part: They were filling the drilled parts of my teeth & must have used too much filling or didn't properly clean all the drilled parts of my teeth because they were letting it dry & it felt rough like drying cement all around the teeth they worked on. They asked me to bite down on a plastic strip, which I did a few times, & they kept grinding away well they grinded so much that the only part of my top teeth (where they did the work) that touches the bottom teeth when chewing is closest to my lips. So 3 of my top teeth feel like this \ (not as slanted as that but you get the picture) opposed to my bottom teeth being flat on their tops to chew on & they kept asking me if it feels right. Well me being numb I couldn't feel it so I had no idea what to say. So they never felt the same since & I figure a dentist should know how to drill/refill & reshape your tooth so your bite feels closest to original as possible not ask me over & over if they should drill more because they can't tell if they did it right. read more

My two boys have been going to Dr. Cervantes and Dr. Prado's practice for that last two years. My boys hate the dentist. Actually I should say my kids USE TO hate the dentist, because these two doctors were truly game-changers. Before finding them, I trudged from dentist to dentist trying to find someone who could handle two very fearful and scared boys who at times couldn't even be coaxed to open their mouths. I saw many flustered and annoyed dentists who recommended I either find a pediatric dentist or have these kids strapped down and put down before any cleaning visit. I was a desperate and frustrated mom. Based on reviews here, I took a chance on Cervantes and Prado. They were nothing but accommodating and kind and gentle with my two boys (who were 6 and 8 years old during their first visits). My kids went into the back (alone) while I waited in front. I waited anxiously, knowing I would be called back to help soothe or convince one of my boys to cooperate. I've never been to the back. My boys walk out happily with clean teeth. They've even been back for fillings and x-rays (unheard of for my boys in the past). One of them still has a hard time, but the most the dentist has recommended is laughing gas to ease the anxiety. Dr. Prado also briefs me on the health of my boys' teeth and gums and we discuss goals for the upcoming visits. The front desk is AWESOME too. So kind and helpful. I never feel like they are pulling the wool over my eyes or up selling me for some obscure procedure. They are upfront and clear about all payments and procedures and are always willing to work with my coverage. So glad to have found this practice. read more

I can definitely recommend Dr. Cervantes as a dentist. He has taken great care of both me and my wife. I have been very happy with the service I have received. He and his office staff are so friendly and professional. read more

I started going to Dr. Cervantes in February. I had to have two teeth removed and a partial put in. They worked with me on every aspect of the procedure. I have a small mouth and they made the experience bearable whereas another dentist jammed a lg block in my mouth. My jaw hurt for days. Dr Cervantes and his staff are very kind and welcoming.. they go over the top for their patients. I even talked my husband into changing dentists. I recommend them highly. read more

Best experience in my life with this dentist! Everyone here is very nice,polite, welcoming and makes you feel comfortable. The first time getting work done on my teeth here was pleasant actually. I always get nervous with getting the anesthesia, but the Dr. made me feel relaxed. Throughout the whole time when he was working on my teeth, he would inform me on what was happening step by step and what he was doing, which was pretty enlightening. Who wouldn't wanna know what the Dr. Is doing when their working on your teeth, right? Well, I do.. read more
