I moved from SoCal a year and a half ago and I hadn’t seen a dentist since. This location was convenient for me since it was right behind my house. I am so glad it was! The staff was extremely friendly and took care of all my needs on my first visit. I’ve been wanting to take care of my wisdom teeth and get braces and the Dentist got the ball rolling. Charlene is the absolute sweetest and made appointment making super easy!

I’ve had two previous dental cleanings at this office without any issues related to billing or insurance. However, my most recent visit was extremely disappointing. Upon check-in, I was unexpectedly presented with a bill of approximately $100. I declined fluoride and explained that my cleaning should be fully covered by insurance, but the receptionist insisted I had a $50 copay. I asked her to verify with my insurance provider. Once I saw the dentist, she performed a general checkup and recommended a more extensive cleaning... read more

Dentist appointments have been a life-long traumatic experience for me but this dentist office has made me feel so incredibly comfortable and safe, that it’s easily become a much more bearable experience. Start to finish, everyone is clear, transparent, knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Also incredibly friendly! And it’s nice to not be charged into the abyss for unnecessary procedures. No clue what I was ever doing at any other dentist. Gentle Dental- thank you for grounding me and thank your staff for going above and beyond... read more

I went for a cleaning, and the doctor told me I should get a deep cleaning. But since I had to pay $900 out of pocket, and I didn't have that much right now, I said no, that they should please just do the regular cleaning. (I've done this before at other offices.) They refused. They told me they could only do the deep cleaning. I find it disrespectful and lacking in empathy. Not all the time. Everyone has that kind of money to spend. (I have dental insurance.) That's what I should have paid out of my own pocket.

Much to my dismay I needed a deep tooth cleaning. The procedure required some anesthesia, which was no fun for me or the hygienist. Danielle did her best to insure my comfort and performed the cleaning expertly. She was as gentle as was possible, and explained what she was doing each step of the way. Dr. Cardenas and staff are very skilled and show great concern for their patients.
