Always a very good experience! I have been going to Dr. Lauritzen for many years. He isso professionally experienced that I never doubt his approach to my teeth issues. I have trust in my doctor. I recommend him highly.

Dr Lauritzen has completed extremely complicated dental procedures for several members of my family including myself and I HIGHLY recommend him. I first heard about him because I was referred to him by another dentist in Pleasant Hill who felt I needed a dentist who specialized in more complicated situations (my teeth had practically splintered apart from decades of heavy teeth grinding due to a crossbite after poor orthodontia as a kid). After I was very happy with my results, I referred my 24 year old step daughter to him who was born with almost NO adult teeth and has such poor bone density in her jaw that implants are not an option (without years of bone grafting first.) Multiple other dentists said it would be at least $90,000 and several years to give the poor girl teeth, and all of them were just too worried and uncertain to help her because her genetic defect of almost zero adult teeth is so rare. Dr Lauritzen proposed three different solutions for her, and she chose a hybrid bridge-model that gave her beautiful teeth for only about $20,000 (a huge amount of money, but MUCH less than $90,000 -- and he completed her work with confidence!) After a lifetime of keeping her mouth closed in front of others in embarrassment, Natalie now smiles HUGE in photos!!! Following that, he literally saved my 80 year old mother's life because her teeth were so deteriorated with broken off crowns, molars worn to the gum line, and multiple infections and he was able to complete a very complicated multi-month ordeal to extract all of her broken off teeth and give her new ones.On top of his professional skill, Dr Lauritzen is very funny, very personable, and fun to visit -- which is not something you can usually say about a dentist. I am not sure how there can be any one-star reviews for him, but all I can say is these people must not have wasted the money and years of time at other dentists that my family has before finding his incredible competency. If you have any kind of a challenging dental situation you will not possibly find anyone better to take care of you than Dr Lauritzen.

I've been going to Dr. Troy for many years. I had horrible experiences with other dentists telling me I needed many cavities filled and one did a horrible job on a filling which finally led me to Dr. Troy to fix it. He taught me how to better care for my teeth so my tiny cavities never got worse and I haven't had to get them filled. He's the most honest dentist I've found and my mouth health has been much better since seeing him. I also get very nervous at doctors/dentists but Dr. Troy is laid back and personable so helps calm my nerves.
