New potential patient here. They blew that possibility BIG TIME. No way I'd EVER go back to a jerk…read morelike this and let him touch my mouth EVER AGAIN. By the way, they changed their name to "TUSK IMPLANTS and DENTISTRY". Look up the difference between a "General Dentist" and an "Implant Specialist". Then look up "Prosthodontics". Those Prosthodontist dentists are specially trained for 3 additional years of dental school to do implants, dentures of all types, and major cosmetic procedures. Just a "heads up!" folks. This guy isn't one of them. I went in on May 7th for my first evaluation, and then back again on July 8th 2025 for an additional evaluation to give him another chance because the first evaluation was high pressure to do the treatment he strongly suggested. He bragged about his numerous implants and experience. I saw a "red flag" due to that attitude. And due to having severe Periodontal disease and losing many teeth already, and his office was referred by my insurance provider, I gave them another chance. I've lost 18 teeth in total, so far, from the disease. For the 14 remaining teeth extractions and possible snap in Implants (both upper and lower arches) it will be well over $30,000.00 (even with office discount) for me to be able to get nourishment (protein) again and regain my health. Wow!! OMG! Am I dreaming or is this a dental/dentist office nightmare? I'm in disbelief. Lots of "red flags" at this place so stay alert and question EVERYTHING. And the owner/dentist does NOT like being challenged about procedures and/or questioned AT ALL on either his treatment plans, or breaking up the work into several stages. At all. He's a "type A personality" - as I am - and we definitely clashed a bit. He literally told me that if I wanted the work done 'my way' to DO IT MYSELF. Believe that?? We instantly clashed because he was pushing so hard for everything to be done at once, his way, whereas I need to do it in stages due to my specific financial circumstances. His attitude was, that if I needed to go get financing, aka a loan, go do it. I like paying in cash for things and try to minimize my borrowing money for things. I don't like owing people money. That's just me. Moving on...... Just be cautious. They're money centered, not patient care centered. My experience was a nightmare. Good luck. UPDATE: 15July2025 I filed a grievance with my insurance company against this business over his upselling tactics and terrible customer care over me questioning his treatment plan. You should have exercised kindness instead of being a jerk. YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE, sir!

Once you make an appointment they follow-up via text with reminders. They adhere to their appointment schedules, without any delays in your treatment. All of the back room technicians and dentists exceed any experiences I've encountered anywhere else. They explain everything in detail and endeavor to make your visit as pleasant and comfortable as humanly possible. They are incredibly non-judgement of the condition of your teeth and where you may have failed in maintaining their health. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you Zwahlen & Marshall Family Dental!!

Sometimes you forget that dentist's are like, SUPER interesting people…read more It was my first time here and I came for a routine check in and cleaning. Right away, I was greeted with a great smile. The lady at the front desk was clearly busy, but that didn't stop her from being attentive and friendly. Lovely welcome desk. As soon as I'm called back, I'm greeted by another friendly smile ( I believe "Maria"), and she tells me that she will be the one taking care of my X-Rays and photos. She was eager to chat, and even gave me some really interesting insight into their new camera system. Another lovely person. I'm then greeted by the lady who will be doing my cleaning, as well as Dr. Amethyst Schlecht. Dr. Amethyst Schlecht is very well spoken and engaging. She had a knowledgeable answer for every question, and never made me feel uncomfortable. Her inspection was quick but thorough, and I walked away feeling like the visit was comprehensive. The female dentist who did my cleaning (I'm bad with names, sorry!) was extremely friendly and equally as knowledgeable. I hadn't been to the dentist in years, so she really needed to put some work into the cleaning. However, she managed to keep it comfortable and basically pain free--other than the usual tugging and poking that is necessary. I think my favorite part was how everyone seemed super happy and eager to share knowledge with me. Every question was met with an answer. I felt like I was talking to enthusiasts, not just bored people at a job they never wanted. Perfect first time experience. Looking forward to coming back in 6 months! Cheers

They will tell you one thing a month or two prior (as I had to "wait for the specialist" and my…read moreschedule), then show up for a crown in my file, with the specialist to look at my tooth (15 minutes after my appointment time), but I couldn't get a crown as he recommended I need a root canal, she (Dr. Amethyst) recommended I should do a root canal or replacement/fake tooth at $1500+. I took a day off work to make the appointment (to have a crown) but Dr. Amethyst didn't even remember me (READ MY FILE) probably worried about making more money to support her son going to OU (Oklahoma University) to play golf and her last minute flight planes to watch him play (yes I am in the business to remember people). The people in the office are awesome, like Rochelle that assisted me today when I paid my tab to leave. Good Luck to Dr. Rice and his practice. I won't be back! I'd rather go to Western Dental!

I was referred by my dentist to Dr. Brian Hutto of Modesto Oral Surgery for a tooth extraction that…read moreI had dragged my feet to do. Dr. Hutto explained during my consultative visit that he thought that the extraction was the best choice for this tooth. I returned for the procedure in a a couple of weeks after receiving necessary medication for pain and anxiety for the procedure. I took the pill 45 minutes prior to the appointment and after excellent local anesthesia the tooth was removed without pain with my groggy cooperation. After the procedure was finished without pain and with good explanation during the surgery with a few painless sutures I was driven home by my patiently waiting wife with an antibiotic and pain pils and anti nausea pills. I had no post operative nausea and took only one pill for pain in about 3 hours after the operation. I'm so grateful to Dr. Hutto and his staff for their patience and explanations for this challenging (for me) procedure!

My beautiful smile looked like the movie, dumb and dumber after they were done with my front teeth. He refused to admit responsibility or apologize. However, he did try to work with me on resolving it because I was freaking out. They gave me an extremely small refund, not very much. He also did a terrible patch job trying to fix my front teeth. I later had to have that fixed by another dentist. They had to shave my teeth short to make them line up on the bottom and I lost a lot of length. He also accidentally yanked the implant he had just surgically put into my jaw out. He was so aggressive in putting in a temporary crown that he yanked the implant loose. I had to have the implant taken back out, then had to put bone graft in and let it heal for six months. I had to go to another doctor to start all over again. Finally a year, a ton of extra expense, ruined front teeth and smile and some PTSD, I have an implant. What he could've done was apologize and give a full refund.
