    My husband and I love Dr. Fossett! We love getting our teeth cleaned by Sue and Melissa is a wonderful sidekick to Dr. Fossett!

    We LOVE, LOVE,LOVE this team. Dr. Fossett and his team of amazing professionals, are very thorough and know how to get to the "root" of the problem. Every time I come in for a cleaning or in this case a cracked tooth, I was able to get it done in one visit. Dr. Fossett even texted me and got me in earlier in order to take care of me!!! I was in so much pain and now I am on cloud 9. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    OH MY GOD!!! #SOHAPPY #DESERVES10STARS!! Got my new veneer today, and its PERFECTION! This office is SUPREME!! David was on vacation, so his dad, Dr. Douglas, put on a my veneer and WOW!! Practice surely makes perfect!!! *IF YOURE AFRAID OF THE DENTIST, DON'T BE SCARED OF DOCTOR DOUGLAS FOSSETT!! I have NEVER, EVER experienced such a gentle, pain free dental work. It's AMAZING how I DIDNT FEEL THE ANESTHETIC NEEDLE at all! I kept thinking, "when am I gonna feel this needle!?" Bc that's the part I really hate!! Dr. Douglas was so precise and gentle only my ONE TOOTH IS NUMB! Literally, I can still feel most of my lip and the two neighboring teeth!!! NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE! Because of some scheduling conflicts, and the first veneer not matching color perfectly, it took a while for me to finally get this, BUT IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!!! The color is BEYOND PERFECT -- EXACTLY in between the other front tooth (which is too dark, but I dealt with it -- see my last post for more details) and the lighter canine tooth!! Exactly!!! I am MORE than happy about my experience here at Fossett Dental, and I wish I can give them 10 stars!!! The only thing I'm dissapointing thing is that they don't accept Denta-Cal. But honestly, VERY VERY VERY HAPPY!!! THANK YOU GUYS SOOOOOO MUCH!!!

    Before photo on top, after below- I love my new smile!

    Dental offices make me nervous but from my first call to first visit, I was put completely at ease. Dr. Fossett explained all my options, didn't try to up sell me, and was gentle and kind. I'm over the moon with the work he did and for the first time I feel confident when I smile! I've now scheduled my whole family for visits and know I will be a lifelong client at this office. All of the staff are amazingly kind and super responsive. And Dr. Fossett took a lot of time walking me though everything and gave me lots of opportunity for questions and input. He also uncovered a dental issue I'd brought up to 2 previous dentists- they told me there was no reason for my pain but he found remnants of a tool there! I trust this office and they stand by their work.

    6 year old and sister enjoying a great cleaning!

    We have been coming to Dr. Gechoffs office for several years. My son had a severe overbite and…read moreneeded some major ortho attention at a very early age. Before choosing a provider, we visited 3 different orthodontic offices to compare opinions, treatment plans, and cost. Dr. Gechoff and the staff was pleasant to work with from the beginning! His plan was ultimately the most cost effective and the least invasive for or 7 year old son. (Who had a long road ahead with treatment no matter how we went about it). The appointments have always been reasonable to schedule. And when we have had those pesky wires break, we have not had any issues getting in to get them fixed. After seeing the results of my sons mouth, I ultimately decided to come in for a consult on my lower (overlapping) teeth. I began invisalign for my treatment. The results have been quick, and I havent needed to come in for frequent appointments. It's been easy! I recommend Dr. Gechoff's office for treatment. Get a consult and see! The staff is welcoming, the office is clean, and if you come in for afternoon appointments there are always fresh cookies!

Although I am an adult complicated case due to a narrow palate and previous loss of multiple teeth with dental implants, there was zero empathy displayed by this office for my root resorption and continued tooth loss because I signed consent for possible risks. Most recently I had the new digital scanning technology to image a tooth that needed a touchup. The tech was visibly frustrated with the difficulty of scanning my teeth because of my gum recession and exclaimed loudly in front of a room of juvenile patients, their parents, and staff as the seats are lined up with no privacy "Ugh It's your teeth!" I was completely humiliated about a health condition that has caused me severe depression and significant anxiety. Staff are insensitive to adult dental conditions.

Before making my appointment, I asked if they participate in Anthem HMO. The response was yes. Initially, my impression of the staff and service was good. Despite paying $450 (discount included) for a deep cleaning since I was told it wasn't covered. Unfortunately, things have gone downhill since then. My husband also made his appointment and was told a deep cleaning was needed and had to pay $500 for it. He called Anthem and was told this office wasn't participating in HMO. Since I have a background in health insurance, I called myself and got the same response. I've tried to reach the office manager at least eight times to resolve this problem. Once, without even being asked for a name, I was told that a correction was faxed and would be called back when it was done. Since starting this whole process, my husband received an explanation of benefits showing NOTHING was paid, including preventative services like x-rays. I actually never even received an explanation of benefits. Were my services even billed? I'm beyond frustrated because now it appears we have to find another dentist and start this whole process again. And, I'd like to have some of my money back!

I've been a regular patient at Santee Smiles for 3+ years now, but have never had any cosmetic bonding done there. I called the office Monday morning and was given an appointment with Dr. Bach for that same morning. I was nervous about getting a front tooth bonded, and had never met Dr. Bach before. As usual, the office got me in right on time so that I had no need to wait to go back. As soon as I met Dr. Bach, she put me at ease. She was very confident that she could take care of my tooth, and that she would get it done in a short amount of time. She went beyond my expectations. She did such a beautiful job matching my tooth color and shaping my tooth. It truly looks as though nothing ever happened to it. She was so kind and concerned that I was pleased with the result. I highly recommend her for any kind of cosmetic procedure. She's an artist! I recommend Santee Smiles for anyone looking for a good dental experience. The doctors are so professional and personable. All of the staff are friendly and efficient at their jobs. I'm happy to have a dental office with doctors and staff who put patients first.

By the time they brought me back, it was close to closing, and everything felt extremely rushed. The X-rays were done very quickly, and the process was actually painful -- something I've never experienced before. The cleaning was also done very fast. After the appointment, I was told I had two cavities, which shocked me- i have never had cavities and I take really good care of my teeth. I decided to get a second opinion from two other dentists, and both confirmed that I have zero cavities. Because of this experience, I felt uncomfortable with the level of care and professionalism. It honestly felt more focused on treatment costs than on my dental health. I will not be returning. 2 stars because it was clean and the chair I was sitting in for almost an hour was comfortable.
