Went in for a cracked or chipped tooth they took X-rays said it needed to be pulled after an hour of digging pulling grinding she gave up and told me she couldn't do it and said you need to go to an oral surgeon and they will have to figure it out As I walked out they were sure to give me an estimate for what else i needed to get done Pretty terrible experience read more

Really horrible dentist. They make you wait an hour after your appointment time, they'll numb you and go work on other patients, and they'll keep rescheduling appointments. Do not recommend coming here. read more

I would not recommend River Valley Dental. I initially came here last year because they accepted Denti-Cal, which my regular dentist does not. While the front office staff and most of the dentists were kind, my overall experience was frustrating, painful, and will now be costly for me. At my first visit (February 2024), Dr. Gherra said I needed three root canals (teeth 2, 3, 7) and two cavities filled. Two weeks later, Dr. Basrai filled the cavities and, thankfully, canceled the root canal on tooth 7 after re-evaluating--it didn't need one. I appreciated her honesty. In April, I returned for the other two root canals. After being numbed, I was left waiting nearly an hour and had to ask for more anesthesia. Dr. Sekhon performed the procedure and was kind, but the equipment felt unusually rough--like a jackhammer. I've had root canals before and never experienced that sensation. A month later, I received permanent crowns. Tooth 3 was sensitive when biting down, and the crown fell off in September. Dr. Singh initially said there was decay and further treatment was needed. Two weeks later, Dr. Dhami (the one dentist I found rude) said it was just staining and reattached the crown. Since then, I've had a persistent bad taste in my mouth and sensitivity in all the crowned teeth. Despite multiple visits and complaints, no resolution was found. Dr. Singh said the issue could be due to a deep cavity on tooth 4 and placed a crown there as well. I still cannot chew on the right side due to ongoing pain and sensitivity when biting down. In February (2025), I had a check-up scheduled, but it was rescheduled three times. I told Dee (the office manager) that I was still having issues and needed to be seen. When I called to confirm the last appointment (near the end of March), they told me they no longer take Denti-Cal and had canceled it. Because Denti-Cal won't replace crowns for five years, I now have to come up with $5,042 out-of-pocket to have my regular dentist fix all three crowns. He confirmed my bite is off and the crowns are too thin in the center (he was going to try and fix my bite but can't due to the thinness of the crowns). If there are other underlying issues not appearing on the x-rays, he'll have to remove the crowns to assess, but we can't proceed until I have the funds to fix them. I also had difficulty obtaining my treatment plans. When I asked, I was told they couldn't release them due to "the documentation on them." Only after involving the Dental Board of California and mentioning HIPAA laws did they provide all 15 treatment plans (took a total of five months to receive them). They also billed my insurance for three x-rays that were never taken, which I reported to my insurance company. To make matters worse, the stress caused by this situation impacted my health, and I had to see a cardiologist for stress-related symptoms and undergo multiple tests. Overall, while most staff were genuinely kind, the billing issues, poor dental work, and lack of transparency have left me deeply dissatisfied and caused lasting physical, emotional, and financial stress. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision. read more

They have been canceling a day before since January. It's late march now. So today I messed up on the time less than an hr late. They called me and said I missed my appointment I told them how sorry I was that I really needed to fix these two root canals if I could please come in I would be in there like within 20 minutes or less and they said yes so I drove out there. Got there when I got there. They told me no you can't be seen that. They didn't realize someone was already in their room. read more

Dr. Sekhon charged me for services not provided during the visit. It wasn't until after I received a copy of the bill from my insurance provider that I noticed a $900.00 charge for services that I did not receive. I requested an itemized copy of their bill which was sent via email. I quickly responded with questions about the services, only to be ignored. I'm now unable to even retrieve a copy of the bill. I will be taking action to recover my loss. read more

I now see why this place has low ratings. The dentist would rather have me keep an infection around my broken tooth and have me in extreme pain vs. extract the broken tooth and maintain antibiotics. Make this make sense. She said it's because I was diabetic. So no diabetic ever needed dental work? I'm the very first of this planets history as a diabetic to require a tooth extraction? She said no dentist would do the work. Which I find this statement to be a far stretch from the truth. How could she speak for an entire industry? Again, make this make sense. read more

The service here had really been on the decline these past couple of years. One of my last visits, I waited 45 minutes in the lobby when my appointment was supposed to be at 1. They said they were busy but honestly why schedule me for a day you over book with root canals. Another thing, the dentist never saw my teeth with the X-rays. I went to another dentist to get a second opinion because of some pain and there were some filings that needed replacing and it got to the point where major work was needed. This place just overcharges and is completely useless. DONT GO HERE!!! read more

I would give 0 stars but that's not an option here. Don't go this place, they charged me for a crown and root canal which they never did, they charged my daughter for 7 fillings which never happened and 4 extra fillings for my little one. Didn't find out about this till I changed my dental place after a month. They never returned my call either, so I'll be filing a law suit against them. Save your time and money. read more

I am terrified of the dentist and I am in my late 40s. My teeth are bad and I have quite a few broken teeth. I went in to fix the worst one which was severely broken. I was terrified to get the work done. They treated me with such respect and cared about who I am. They had great communication and were very caring. I will be going back. read more

Unprofessional. Cannot control her own staff or dentist attendance. Canceled appointments the morning of the appointment when I was already in the parking lot. Did not complete scheduled tasks, expected me to keep driving back a long distance to do a piece at a time. read more

Very unprofessional and poor communication. I was scheduled for an appointment at 10am had to wait over a hour to get worked on and they would pause every 15mins to go work on someone else. They left impression moldings in my mouth for 25 minutes until I had to go ask someone to take the moldings out. This is my 3rd visit here and each time it has been a bad experience. read more

Poorly trained assisting staff. I understand my first work done here in Feb 2020 and have been having problems ever since. I never had a problem, pain, much less a cavity with my teeth in my 31 years on this planet until Feb 2020 and I had all this initial work that turned into 5 or 6 visits and each time I left still experiencing issues. I am currently sitting out front post permanent crown placement that took 4 weeks of phone tag. It is very hard to get ahold of these people eventhough they say they have caller ID and call people based on that. I may have just slipped through the cracks- THREE times. I've always actually enjoyed the dentist until I experienced this one. They leave me with continuing problems and make me feel crazy when I tell them what I'm experiencing. The confidence level in this place is pretty low sounding and feeling. Very disappointed and spent a lot out of pocket EACH visit event hough I have insurance. read more

River Valley Dental - General Dentistry Near Me - Yuba City, California

Horrible Experience, I've been having pain in my teeth for the past few months and finally decided to find a good dentist and stick with it. I chose River Valley Dental because I had heard good things of them. But I had to stop going there after my first visit, despite knowing I've been in pain, they rescheduled my appointment four times in one week and when I told the receptionist I was no longer needing their service because of how I was treated, she laughed at me. They don't care for their patients and have horrible service. Def don't recommend going here. read more

I have DentiCal, unfortunately. Let's start there. I came here for a wisdom tooth extraction. They told me I had to have fillings done before they could do my extraction. So I had fillings done. Then they rescheduled my apt 3 times, dragging this out for 2 months. I go in for my fillings finally and ask about the wisdom, which is giving me headaches/TMJ/crowding my teeth, and they tell me "oh we won't do that, an oral surgeon has to, and nobody is going to do it with DentiCal insurance." She tells me my teeth are on the cusp and may not even need fillings if I flossed more, then said my insurance authorized a deep cleaning so we're doing that today. This office will bill DentiCal for whatever they can, and whatever is approved, they will recommend whether you need it or not, just to make money off of you. They did the same to my partner, who went in for a root canal and was told "oh we got approval for extraction so we're doing that". He went to a different office with a much better reputation and was informed he did NOT need an extraction, just a root canal. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS OFFICE. They do not give you what you need, you are just a sales ticket for them to see how many procedures they can bill your insurance for! read more

Last year, I contacted this office to be treated for tooth pain. After visiting her office, I was advised that the tooth needs to be pulled and for long term care, I would need an Invisalign treatment. Her office proceeded with the removal of an erupted tooth and performed additional necessary procedures including Bone Replace Graft for Ridge Preservation - as listed on the invoice. The total amount charged on my Visa was over 5K. Once the tooth was extracted, the pain did not decrease and per her advice, I visited another specialist in town. The specialist advised that I am not ready for the Invisalign treatment. However, when I shared the same concerns with her, I was told that I was indeed ready for the treatment. Because the pain was severe, I decided to postpone the treatment and visited another dentist to treat the pain before coming back to her for the Invisalign treatment. That dentist also advised me against receiving Invisalign treatment at that moment. Having two sets of opinions recommending against the treatment, I decided to come back and let her know that I am not ready for Invisalign. Dr. Sekhon and/or her office, however, ignored my concerns and advised me to get the treatment started. When I asked to cancel the treatment and refund the amount, they refused to issue a refund by insisting on the fact that the trays for this procedure had already been ordered and the money cannot be refunded. I was disappointed but came back to this office to start the treatment since they refused to refund the money. At that appointment, Dr. Sekhon told me that I have cavities that need to be treated before she can start the Invisalign procedure. When I asked, why wasn't I assessed before the office charged me $5000 for the treatment, she did not provide a clear answer. I have asked for a refund multiple times, both orally and in writing, but this office has refused to do so. Please be careful with frauds like this office. I will be complaining to the Dental Association and the Board. read more

Very bad Dentist River Valley Dentist staff at the front is nice. Dentist do not know what they doing. My case has been going on for over a year. They take your insurance money and still no work. My cap fell off. And now they want me to pay over $2900 for works to be done on my tooth. They told me I need a partial after they took all my tooth out and gave me crowns and caps and root canals. Why would I get the caps under crowns in the first place, if they could've given me a partial in the beginning my cat fell off after had it put on in eight months and now they want to charge me to put it back on and they told me that they cannot put it on unless I do extra work that's going to cost over $2900 to fix how could this be possibly very disappointed friends and family told me not to go there but I kept going because I like the people at the front but the staff is not doing a good job now my cap is out I cannot eat and I cannot do nothing I want to see what I can do about this situation and take this case further read more

I took my mom to get implants and they kept "losing" the molds And would have us come in to get them taken and keep charging us for each time we had to go in at their expense. They would overcharge us services we didn't receive so I began asking for a complete itemized bill and the charges stopped (how funny). Instead of sealing the implants like they're suppose to with the fitted cap they just put a cavity filler and did it terribly. when she tried saying anything about it she said she said we were wrong. She was EXTREMELY rude and would leave right in the middle of doing my mothers teeth to go work on another patient for a half hour and then come back. If I could, I'd give negative stars. notvworth the hassle and the overcharging read more

I've been a client here for over past several years. Over the few years I've made appointments then office calls me to reschedule, come in later, come in earlier etc. Staff turn around is constantly as well. I've always complied and moved my schedule around including work schedule. Today I took some time off of work to get work done recommended by dentist of course, waited 25 minutes to then get told they'll need to reschedule me because they are behind. Reason they were going to be behind is because dentist noticed a friend of hers in lobby that came in after me having issues with their insurance and told them to come right back after I've been waiting for my appointment. I witnessed all of this sitting & waiting to be called back. I tried to stick it out with them after all the appointment changes & rescheduling but I'm done! Definitely won't be back. I'm sure there's plenty of other dentist who will attend to loyal clients instead of walk in friends. read more

I have never had any mysteries when coming to Dr. Sekhon's office. They are always clear and inform you of what will occur. The office could be more punctual, and occasionally I will have a longer office wait time. Overall I'd recommend them to others in the area. read more

River Valley Dental is NOT a good place to go! The workers there don't really care about you, just want to get the job done and leave...but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and was supposed to go in for a filling today. They called 30mins before my appointment, canceled and told me to find another dentist?? Very unprofessional! They could have called me a week ago! I wouldn't even give them 1 star... Please do not waste your time going here you will regret it. read more

There is no way you could get me to go somewhere else. read more
