My surgery was conducted with local anesthesia, so i can't speak for IV sedation or oral sedation. I've had experiences with local anesthesia prior. So I knew what to expect. The numbing....while painful was the least scary part of the procedure. The surgery was EXCRUCIATING.... even with the sedation. but i don't regret having it done, as my teeth were starting to decay because of the lack of space. My advice to anyone considering it. is PLEASE only do it if it's ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Because i refused IV sedation... the local anesthesia, was painful enough that i started to tear up. I am currently writing this while my head and mouth are throbbing. My mouth is pooling with blood and saliva. i may have even swallowed a little lol. Please remember not to wait until you're 30s or 40s to have it done. The doctor was kind and understanding.

I am writing this on my teenage son's behalf after an exceptional experience at Sacramento Valley…read moreDental Specialists. We specifically researched and decided on Dr. Dana Jensen, and he lived up to his reputation. Dr. Jensen is professional, amazing, and soft-spoken; he explained everything clearly and answered every question we had regarding the procedure. The efficiency was incredible--he removed two fully erupted top wisdom teeth and two horizontal impacted ones in less than 40 minutes under general anesthesia. The recovery was just as smooth; my son was pain-free by the second day using the provided ice pack and post-op instructions. The prescription was sent directly to the pharmacy, making the whole process seamless. His recovery was so fast that he was able to attend his first year of college just three days after surgery! I also loved the office layout, which includes a discreet side door to wheel patients out to the car. Tarah, the receptionist, was a pleasure to deal with and clearly explained our insurance coverage. I've also had the pleasure to deal with Nora (over the phone) and she was a sweetheart. While they require an appointment security fee over the phone, it is applied directly to the procedure. From the text reminders to the expert care, we are so glad we chose Dr. Jensen!

While on vacation I started experiencing extreme sensitivity and a throbbing sensation on my bottom…read moreright wisdom tooth (32). Upon returning from my trip, I scheduled an emergency appointment with Luc Dental Care. An x-ray confirmed a large cavity in my wisdom tooth. I was immediately referred to Sacramento Valley Dental Specialists for a tooth extraction. I spoke with a friendly representative at Sacramento Valley Dental Specialists who was able to schedule a next day consultation and oral surgery. The following day I arrived to a group of friendly employees at the front desk that greeted me. Since I filled out the intake form prior to the appointment, I was only seated for two minutes before being ushered to the back. An employee took my blood pressure, administered an x-ray, and informed me that the surgeon would be with me shortly. Shortly after Dr. Fries entered the room and introduced himself. He gave me an overview of the procedure that would be conducted, asked if I had any questions, and then started a short video that informed me about post-extraction care. After the video concluded, I was ushered to another room where Dr. Fries and an employee began administering the local anesthesia. Roughly 10 minutes later, after confirming that the anesthesia had kicked in, Dr Fries began the procedure. Throughout the procedure Dr. Fries and the employee did a great job of communicating what was happening (the wisdom tooth was very stubborn in coming out) and verifying that I was not in pain (although there was slight discomfort). Three days later, strictly following the post-extraction rules, I have no pain (thankfully)...thank you Dr. Fries and the rest of the Sacramento Valley Dental Specialists team!

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.

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.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service provided at the dental office…read more I would give this business a one-star rating and certainly cannot recommend it to others. The office appears to prioritize profit over patient care. It is concerning that the practice refers to its operations using corporate terminology like "front and back offices," treating patients more like line items than individuals. Furthermore, the fact that a front-desk employee was without a front tooth for several months reflects poorly on a business centered around dental health and aesthetics. It suggests a lack of investment in both staff and the professional image of the practice. To be clear, my feedback is not related to any nondiscrimination policies, but rather to the overall focus and quality of the business. PS: I have updated my review more than a year after my last visit to this office. Your decision to respond to my review by sending a letter to other dental offices--effectively preventing me from completing my treatment after you have already collected payment from both me and my insurance--raises serious concerns about your practice's conduct.

I had my wisdom teeth removed (all 4 at the same time, ouch haha) a few weeks ago and the care I received from the entire staff was top tier. My surgery went very smooth, aftercare was explained thoroughly, and billing was a very simple process. I was also quoted and paid a pretty low price, so that was a very nice bonus as I expected to pay much more. Post op follow up appt was optional and I opted out initially as I thought my recovery would be easy. I was wrong (sadly haha), and in some pretty good pain still about a week post op, which isn't super typical for WT removal. I made a quick phone call to the office and was scheduled the very next day for a follow up just to make sure no dry socket or anything awry was happening. I was reassured everything looked good and just needed to give it some more time. Thankfully now I feel great - just harder healing process because I'm "old" to be getting my WT out ;) I should mention that aftercare (visits, meds, etc) post op was included in the price of the treatment. I was urged by all staff to come back if/when needed and it was nice to feel like I wasn't being burdensome. I even got a check in the mail for a refund for part of my treatment because my insurance covered more than anticipated - really refreshing to see such honest bookkeeping! I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Antrobus, he is wonderful. He answers any and all questions and really makes patients feel comfortable. I would come back for any further oral surgery needs!
