Excellent dentist & team members! Best & most caring dentist I've been to in six decades of living. If I move I'd still come back to Temecula to see Dr Ruzzamenti. He's professional and very thorough. read more

You will not find a better dentist. Dr. Ruzzamente is skilled, knowledgeable, up-to-date on current advances in dentistry, and above all, he cares about your experience. He will calm your fears and explain in a way you can understand. Office staff are ALWAYS helpful and kind. This has been my dentist office since 2006, and I could not give a higher recommendation. Try for yourself. read more

There are so few places of business that truly strive for excellence anymore. This place is one of them. Drop whatever dentist you have now and go here instead - Here's why: Front desk staff- I cannot express how good the front office staff here actually is. It's mildly mind blowing - Then knew my nickname when I walked in without prompt from me. Every talk, from arranging an appointment, to billing it a pure joy (yeah, even when it's a bunch of money). I've never felt more like a person in a dental office. The doctors - I'm so mouth pain adverse - And every other dentist office I have been to has at least one that's going to cause you unnecessary pain. If they employ one here, I have not found them. I've had several crowns from here and next day, I can barely feel anything, and certainly not pain. They are the only crowns I have that I forget are crowns. Get this; they even replaced somebody else's crown work that had fallen out. That one had been rubbing my gums and annoying me for years until it just felt off- Now that they replaced it, like the new ones, I can't even tell you where it is. The deep cleaning was a pleasure to go through here and instead of just bleeding gums after, I actually felt clean- Amazing. In my opinion, most modern dentist office billing departments are untalented grifters at best. Here, I have never felt I was being weirdly charged or had them come back and say they miscalculated thousands of dollars, which has been the norm from other offices. Really, yelp should implement extra stars just for this office. I can't recommend it enough. read more

I know it's tuff finding a good dentist,when you do,you know that your gonna stick with them for life! I can honestly say that I've found the dentist I'm keeping! Dr Ruzzamenti and his crew are the best! read more

This review is SO overdue, like 20 years overdue! My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Ruzzamenti for 20 years. He and his amazing team treat you like family. No really... they care about you, your family, your kids, your life. It's rare to not feel nervous about going to the dentist, I mean really.. who wants to? This group understands that anxiety, the fear but also wants the best outcome for your health. My kids were in 2nd grade when we first started seeing him, now one is getting married this year! Fun fact.. her smile will be awesome read more

My dental experiences have been very traumatizing so I stopped going to the dentist and haven't been in 4 years. That all changed until I heard about Dr Ruzzamenti. My appointment went absolutely amazing and I felt zero anxiety while being there. He is so thorough and explains everything really well. This was the best dental experience I've had in 25 years. I felt like I was listened to and cared for like no other. read more

I was referred to Dr. Ruzzamenti by Rancho Endodontics (who I am very happy with). My former dentist I was with for over 20 years. Finally left after having too many problems, one of which caused me tooth loss. Dr. Ruzzamenti is excellent - very professional, competent, good at communicating and always concerned about your comfort. Same goes for the office staff. Huge change from the previous guy. I very highly recommended Dr. R. read more

Nice people and by all accounts a great dentist. But, contrary to the claims here that he's the only dentist since 2002, he's no longer the only dentist. Not a fan of the handoff to the younger dentist. I find it disrespectful to presume I'm okay with someone who doesn't have all the 5-star ratings working on my teeth. It would be much better if they asked if you were okay with it. I'm guessing most wouldn't be okay with it which may be why they don't ask. If you don't want the handoff...say so. read more

Excellent dentist. I like that the dentist is proactive in his practice including greeting patients and personally inspecting his staff. Very professionally run office. His work on my wife's teeth was superb. read more

Great dentist. Great staff. Everyone is super nice and friendly!!! The dentist Dr Ruzzamenti and his assistant Kali are great. Dr Ruzzamenti explains everything, has always done a great job and is available during closed hours personally for emergencies. If he is not available he has another local dentist that backs him up who is also a great dentist. Kali is always helpful , friendly and always ensures all questions are followed up. The office is extremely clean and the whole staff is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this office. read more

Let me start off with, "I hate dentist!" But I've been with Dr. Ruzzamenti for about three years. And my experiences there are great! Always gives me a warning before he gives me those horrible shots! Which by the way, those shots are super gentle and if it wasn't for his warning, I probably never know he gave it to me. The coolest thing is when he has to give you a crown. All the other dentist I have been to, the tooth is prepared and a temporary filling is put on until the crown is made and received to the dentist office. At Vineyard Valley Dental, Dr. Ruzzamenti creates the crown while you wait! If you ask Dr. Ruzzamenti he will even show you the crown being cut by the computer! So cool! Another thing... His staff are all FANTASTIC! Super friendly and knowledgeable! They put you at ease by answering any and all questions you may have! My experiences I have at Vineyard Valley Dental have all been positive! Dr. Ruzzamenti is actually changing my mind about dentist! Get your teeth fixed at the most gentle dental office in town, I mean California! I'm old! So I know! Thank you Vineyard Valley Dental! read more

Dr. Ruzzimente is absolutely the best dentist I have ever been to. My family and I have been going to him for 15 years. He is available after hours for emergencies and always provides the best care. I cannot say enough for how professional he is, how his staff is great about everything and how OUTSTANDING this office is. Dr.R is knowledgeable, patient and goes the extra mile The staff has barely changed in 15 years and they know all their patients and treat everyone like they are the most important person. I never wait and they have the latest equipment. The office is immaculate. I cannot recommend them more highly read more

Vineyard Valley has been such a wonderful experience! From the dental hygienists to Dr. Janeck who did an amazing job replacing my old composite caps with veneers on my laterals and canines. She listened to any concerns and I was really impressed with our game plan, every step of the process and the careful construction of beautiful veneers to match my other teeth. I am SO happy with the results! I've had bad experiences with dentists before so it was incredible to be able to have full confidence in every step of quality of care and results. Highly recommend! read more

I had some concerns switching dentists, but those have since vanished after getting work done here for the first time. Dr. Ruzzamenti is very good at finding issues, and takes the time to explain the symptoms, and level of importance. His work is also great. Knowing that a perfectionist is doing the work is very reassuring. I want those precision lenses he has for my own work! lol. The staff is nice as well. So that's a bonus there :) My wife will soon be joining me here when she needs a cleaning or work done. read more

I've been afraid of going to the dentist my entire life! Then I found Vineyard Valley Dentist. In the last 7 years I've had many visits to Vineyard for cleanings, cavities and implants. The procedures are always painless and successful. Dr. Ruzzamenti and his staff are so kind, gentle, and understanding. Never pushy and always conservative in their approach. The office is immaculate and all the staff are welcoming and personable. A special shout-out to Landi (dental hygienist) who cured my fear of cleaning. I would recommend this amazing crew to all you dental phobics and anyone else looking for great dental care. read more

The office is immaculate, the staff is incredibly friendly and informative, and Dr. Ruzzamenti's is incredible and honest! Unfortunately my kids insurance changed and we had to change dentist, but I absolutely loved my experience at this office. read more

Today was my first visit and I HATE going to the dentist because of the terrible anxiety I get. I had informed the staff of this anxiety and they handled it privately and respectfully. The staff is polite and warm, the Dr. is very professional and he sat and answered my questions and asked lots of questions and immediately put my mind at ease, which I appreciated other dentists have not done this in the past. He really seemed to care and to ease my fears. The office is very nice and clean, they even gave my daughter who is (1) a new tooth brush to get practicing. I am glad that I choose this business and will refer anyone I can to this establishment. read more

This wAs my first time here. The lobby was beautiful and clean. The front office staff were all very welcoming and friendly. The patient room was comfortable. The hygienist Landi and the assistant I had were so very nice!!! The dentist was easy to talk to and he explained things very thoroughly. I am very happy I chose this office and happy to say that I have finally found my local dentist. Thank you all at Vineyard Valley Dental. read more

Love love love Dr. Ruzzimenti and his staff. They are amazing. I cannot express enough how amazing they make going to the dentist. I have had everything from cavity, crowns, veneers and the list goes on. You name it someone in my family has had it done. My kids never knew that they were getting shots in their mouths until they were old enough to understand. If u have someone who has had a bad experience, afraid of the dentist, or just hates going. Go here it will give u a whole new meaning of dentistry. You will love the staff from the minute you walk in until you leave. They are all amazing. read more

I am a total wimp when it comes to having dental work done, but the team at Vineyard valley gets me taken care of pain free

I have been a patient of Vineyard Valley Dental for a few years now. Wonderful and friendly. The office is beautiful. The hygienist always remembers personal details about my life and is kind enough to inquire, even 6 months between visits. Highly recommend! read more

Very professional. I always have confidence knowing that when I schedule an appointment that he will only be focused on me and not juggling 10 other patients. Quick, fast, efficient! Makes the crowns right there so no waiting with a temporary. Very hi tech state of the art equipment. Top notch service. Staff is friendly and amazing. Best dentist in the county! read more

I have been going to Dr. Ruzzamenti since I was 2 years old and have never had a bad visit. He is always friendly and and has your best interests in mind. He will take the time to explain problems and answer any questions you have. His staff is all very kind and friendly as well and will always greet you with a smile on their face. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a new dentist. read more

Dr. R gave me a new nightguard/biteguard and seriously it's a game changer!! I went from a full U shaped upper mouth guard which I was still able to clinch my jaw and grind. This new one is tiny and just goes between my 2 front teeth, preventing my upper teeth from touching my lowers. It's amazing! I was waking up with a sore jaw, back pain and headaches all from clinching and grinding through my old guard. So thankful for the new one!! read more

I get anxiety going to any dentist, and for me to give 5 stars for a dentist says a lot. Vineyard Valley Dental is great. They definitely make you feel at ease. My biggest gripe about any dentist is the guilt they make you feel when you don't get in as much as they would like you to. Dr. Ruzzamenti and his staff do not give you the guilt trip. They explain what needs to be done and that's it. They are very caring and understanding of anxiety. read more

Super friendly, helpful, and professional staff! Excellent dental care and customer service. I needed a lot of fillings replaced and a couple of crowns. Over the course of the last few months they have taken care of everything and I couldn't be more pleased. They make porcelain crowns on site and take care of the whole process in 1 appointment. They have my highest recommendation! read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Ruzzamenti for six years. We love both him and his staff. Dr. Ruzzamenti has always been very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I am what you would call a "horrible" patient. I hate going to the dentist. There. I said it. But going to this office does not make me scared. I once broke both of my back teeth eating a hard piece of cookie. Ugh. Stay away from sprinkle covered cookies! Dr, Ruzzamenti had to give me a crown on one tooth and do a root canal on another. Of course, I was terrified. But both procedures were flawless. I think the biggest compliment I can give Dr. Ruzzamenti is that both of my children love going here. Who can say that about their children and their dentist? My son has even had two fillings and never even knew he received a shot. This made the visit more pleasant for him...and for myself. His staff are the sweetest. Always smiling. They are fair with their pricing and I genuinely feel like they treat each patient like family. I cannot recommend Vineyard Valley Dental enough... And I have...countless times over the years. Every friend I have deserves a great dentist like this one! read more

Excellent, friendly, helpful, the absolute best. When we first moved here we tried a couple of other dental offices. Thank goodness we found this one. Everyone in the office is professional and polite. Dr Ruzzamenti is a gem. A couple of people in our family have dental visit fears and they helped us to address these issues with patience and gentle accommodations. We have been going to Vineyard Valley Dental for 5 years now and would never dream of going anywhere else. read more

Dr. Ruzzamenti has been our family dentist for more than a decade. My husband and I have two young boys and we LOVE everything about this office. The service is professional and warm from start to finish. The front office greets you with a friendly smile, and is so organized with check-in and check-out. I've never waited more than a couple minutes, if at all for our appointments. All the dental hygienists are gentle and thorough with our cleanings. We never feel rushed by Dr. Ruzzamenti and he always takes the time to review our care and answer our questions. It's clear he is extremely knowledgable and has a wealth of experience. The offices are new, beautifully decorated and always very clean & tidy. Never have I met that many nice people all in one office. I absolutely would recommend him to anyone needing a dentist or unhappy with their current care! read more

I don't know what dentist the people went to who wrote negative reviews, but it either wasn't this office or it doesn't matter who they go to, it would be negative. I am 60 years old and have gone here since they opened. I have never had this quality of work or the level of care at any other office and I have been to a few in my day. In the past 12 years I have had fillings, crowns, veneers, teeth cleaned, and teeth whitened. I am always amazed that everything can be done at the office. Even my crowns were made there while I waited. The work is as pain free as any dentist can make it. I can't imagine going anyplace else. The crew is fun and friendly. They even know my voice when I call every three to four months when I schedule my next cleaning. You can't get any better than that. read more

Dr. Ruzzimenti and his staff are absolutely amazing. I have been going to them for over 8 years. Every time we go they always go above and beyond. I had crowns that were so painful and had been for a decade and I thought it was the norm. After having them replaced by Dr it's been a new lease on life. Completely pain free. Recently my daughter had some cosmetic work done and they exceeded our expectations. Kali made sure my daughter was 100 percent happy and of course Dr. explained everything and gave us the tools we needed to make an informed decision. If you need a dentist this is the place. I recommend everyone to them and all 100 percent satisfied. From the time you walk in until u leave each staff member is absolutely amazing. read more

I haven't been to the dentist in years because I didn't think it was possible to feel so comfortable while someone used sharp objects in my mouth until I came here! Dr. Ruzzamenti made me feel right at home and gave all 32 of my teeth (who knew I had that many?) great consideration and care! My visit was very educational and that makes all the difference when trying to establish and maintain healthy habits like taking better care of your oral hygiene!! All of the ladies at the front desk were very sweet and Kali took great x-rays of my teeth, made those bad boys look crystal clear without having to redo anything or make me put that annoying thing in my mouth any more than I had to. I really enjoyed my experience here and not just because the office is designed so great and they have TVs on the ceiling for you to watch while they work on you! These people care about what they do and it's evident. Thank you for making my first visit back to the dentist so smooth and reassuring! read more

First off, I am a NIGHTMARE when it comes to dental work. I have had a fear of the dentist my entire life. I moved from Orange County 5 years ago and couldn't imagine finding anyone as patient as my dentist in the OC. Then I met Dr. Ruzzamenti after finally gaining the courage to reach out due to experiencing pain in my back tooth. He was patient and made me feel so comfortable upon my first appointment. I ended up needing a crown replacement which caused me SO much fear leading up to the procedure. Let me tell you, I have NEVER had a better experience with a dentist. He listened to all my fears when I got there and explained them in a way that eased my anxiety. He is MAGIC when it comes to Novacane injections....I did not feel ANYTHING. He took extra measures to check-in with me throughout the procedure, letting me know sounds and feelings that would be happening in the moment. He even gave me extra Novacane just to make me feel comfortable. He made jokes and told me I can take as many breaks as needed, he will be patient and go through this as I felt comfortable. I am spreading the word to everyone how much I love Dr. Ruzzamenti and his staff. So thankful I found someone I can trust, fully and completely. Honestly, I am looking forward to going back, and I never thought I would say that about the DENTIST. Thank you all! read more

I've been going to Vineyard Valley Dental for about 12 years, ever since my sister (who is very picky) recommended them to me. I recently had a root canal which I was a little afraid to have. Dr. Ruzzamenti did it expertly and with no discomfort. Then, I was flossing, and a very old crown popped out (Dr. R had not done that crown). I took the crown in and Dr. R said he could just re-cement it in instead of having to replace it with a new crown. This saved me a lot of money. Dr. R is very ethical and does what is best for his patients. I also like my hygienist and the office staff is very friendly and inviting. Highly recommend this dentist. read more

Dr. Ruzzamenti and his staff are exceptional! Care and concern are genuine. Cutting edge technology permits Dr. Ruzzamenti to design, create, and put in a Cerec crown in one visit. Having a crown made in the dental office assures a perfect fit. read more

I have four boys who cant wait to go to the Dentist. Dr. Ruzzamenti and his staff care about my boys and there comfort during the visit. With Dr. Ruzzamentis state of the art dental practice I know my boys and I will be getting the best care possible. read more
