    Dental adventures involving complicated, always expensive and potentially painful experiences are…read moremy mainstay. I thought I had everything done that I could get done until my dentist Dr. Matt Anderson said after I broke a tooth, "You can avoid having a dental implant if you have a crown lengthening. It may even save you a little money and you get to keep your tooth." I Googled it and started to shake, "The bone above the broken tooth is shaved and therefore lengthened to allow a pin and then a crown to be placed." So Dr. Anderson sent me to Dr. Mercedes Heitman in Petaluma for the bone shearing, and gum surgery event. Not gonna lie, I was NOT looking forward to this at all. Plus I read online the "after" experience could be painful. So the extremely good news is that Dr. Mercedes Heitman and her assistant Madelelyn were amazing. The crown lengthening was carried out with utmost skill and care and I did not have one moment of pain during or after the procedure. This team was constantly checking for my comfort level and reaction. And, Dr. Heitman has something not often seen in the dental world: a sharp wit and polished sense of humor. The women who run the office are equally welcoming and efficient. I cannot recommend Dr. Heitman's work highly enough. You are in good hands with her.

    I requested dental records to be transferred but there was a delay. The assistant never processed…read morethe dental records request and my new periodontist requested to have them asap by my next appointment. I had to speak to the office manager at Petaluma Periodontics. She said she will try to contact my new periodontist, but she was never apologetic. She sounded annoyed by the complaint. Poor customer service.

    I wouldn't normally post a review about a dentist but because Dr. Smida was so gentle, caring, &…read moreinformative with my 18 month old daughter, I HAD to post. I had scheduled a free consult after I noticed discoloration on my daughter's front teeth. My baby was really scared and nervous but dr Smida knew just how to calm her down. After the little one visited the treasure chest of toys, dr Smida urged my daughter to sit on my lap in the dental chair. There was a lot of squirming but Dr Smida's gentle persistence got the job done. She said my baby needed crowns & probably needed to be fully sedated because there seemed to be a lot of decay. This news was shocking since I brushed her teeth at least 2 times a day. I was so devastated & emotional but Dr Smida calmed me down, assured me it wasn't my fault & referred me to a pediatric dentist. The pediatric dentist confirmed her assessment of the treatment my daughter needed (4 crowns & full sedation). It was refreshing that Dr Smida's treatment plan was identical to the referred dentist & that she didn't inflate the work that had to be done for her own profit. Because of her honest work ethic and gentle bedside manner, Dr Smida may consider my family & I her new patients!!!!

    I was a patient of Ms. Smida when she had her practice in Petaluma at 4th & B. She was sketchy in…read morethe extreme. She did a "root planing" that took all of 20 minutes, did NOT plane at all - just roamed around in my mouth with a pick but charged my insurer for the planing. Then she did a root canal, she made the crown out of some extruded plastic goo that was hardened using UV light, looked pretty cheesey when she did it and sure enough it failed the next day. Was seeing her for 2 years and I gave some serious thought to filing complaints at the time but did not. It utterly destroyed my trust in dentists, I have literally not seen one since and that has been 13 years ago and have broken/missing teeth. This woman is a crook.

    I was going to Petaluma dental group for about 5 years general cleaning, fillings etc. I needed a…read morewisdom tooth removed and was referred to an oral surgeon. My dentist at the time was on vacation and I was having my teeth cleaned and Dr. Dembski came in and said he had removed thousands of wisdom teeth. When asking are you an oral surgeon he replied no. When extracting my wisdom tooth he hit the lingual nerve. I now have permanent damage, numbness to the right side of my tongue. I have gone through a nerve repair at u.c.s.f., damage was so severe it was beyond repair, by one of the best oral surgeons in the world. I would never refer anyone to Dr Dembski or Petaluma dental group. I would not give this man even a one star rating.

    I went here for years for general cleaning, no problems. They then recommended two crowns, about 1…read moreyear apart. In each case I was told they looked fairly straightforward, and the chance of root canal was low. In both cases expensive root canals were required after the fact. In the first instance, the tooth kept hurting more and more for over a week after the permanent crown was on. They finally had to take the permanent crown off and do the root canal. For the second crown, at least they realized it was infected while the temporary crown was off. I was upset and asked the new owner of the practice for some kind of discount. She was very abrasive and just kept telling me I had signed waivers accepting that this could happen. I talked to another dentist who said while the odds of root canal on a crown were moderately high (so needing two unplanned root canals wasn't extraordinary), he said that most dentists would offer some kind of discount, since they want to keep customers happy. Clearly this practice did not believe in this, so I have stopped using them.
