Dentists near Alameda

“I was able to get same day appointment for an emergency root canal issue with this practice. I called in at 7:15 AM & customer service took my details & Angela from office calked me at 8:30 AM & got me in for 11:30 AM appointment.
Dr Nabipour and associate Monica made the root canal procedure painless. First of all I was dreading the needle, but the local anesthetic made it painless with the needle. Dr Nabipour identified two teeth that were compromised causing the intense pain, he said he will treat one in this sitting and if pain continues I may have come back in Monday. But at the end of the procedure he was able to successfully treat the root canal issue. He underpromised and over delivered.

Highly recommended Dr Nabipour & associate Monica.“

“I have been going to Dr. Dughman for about two and a half years now as our prior dentist retired. His original office and now his beautiful new office have been welcoming each time. Staff is efficient and calming. Cleanings have been thorough and they keep great records about a special numbing gel given to me before cleanings which has eliminated all the pain! Dr. Dughman is kind and thorough and explains things well for this nervous patient.

Our entire family sees Dr. Dughman, including my father in law. I am really happy to have a wonderful dentist right in Alameda on Bay Farm to see! Thank you!!“

“I am very happy with the experience that I had yesterday. I look forward to seeing them in the future for my dental health.“

“A really wonderful dentist. I drive all the way to Berkeley from Sacramento to see them. I have a rare medical condition that has specific implications for dental health. They've been accommodating and proactive -- doing research where necessary to make sure that I'm getting the best care possible. I've also never had an attempt to upsell cosmetic work here; no discussion of whitening or veneers, both of which I had every dentist mention every single visit the whole time I lived in Los Angeles. Do I have to bill back to insurance? Yes. Have I ever had a problem with that? No. Ultimately, billing back to insurance (as others have mentioned in their reviews) is a very small tradeoff for me when compared with having a dental team that I trust.“

“Both of my kids started coming here since their very first dental exam. All of the dentists and dental hygienists are excellent. The office staff are also very helpful. Had billing issues in the past with dual coverage, but it has resolved. The revised process is now seamless.“

“This dentist office is fabulous! They are on time and efficient. Highly recommend them. Both my kids love going to see their dentist.“

“Best dentists and dental assistants i’ve ever found for many years now, keep it goin yall“

“My first time with Ellen Pacleb DDS was
wonderful! All the staff were friendly and polite, everything was explained clearly, and
they answered my many questions with patience and grace. I had a thorough understanding of the financial part in advance - so no surprises there! This office
has a stellar reputation and was recommended by one of my best friends.
I am looking forward to what’s proving to be a very promising relationship with the staff at Ellen Pacleb DDS! She is awesome!“

Consistently professional. Since we moved to the area and had to find a good dental practice, we struck gold with Kensington Dental.“

“We absolutely love Aloha Pediatric Dentistry and Dr. Ruehe! Both of my kids actually look forward to going to the dentist, which says everything. The entire team is so friendly, patient, and great with kids, and they always make every visit fun and stress-free. It’s been such a fantastic experience from day one, and we’re so grateful we found them. Highly recommend to any family looking for an amazing pediatric dentist!“

“I'm so glad we found Dr. Brian, went in for a second opinion since her previous dentist wanted to try anesthesia right away for her cavities. Dr. Brian gave me options and luckily laughing gas worked for her. Michelle, is super nice and the rest of the staff that has worked on my daughter's teeth as well. Will continue to refer them to my friends and family.“

“Dr. Wake always gives us the tips how to take care of the teeth and the gums which I needed to be told. So I am able to keep our teeth and gums healthy. Thank you, Dr. Wake!
And the stuff are all wonderful to take care of us. My husband and I are so fortunate to have them. Thank you everyone!“

“I wish all dental offices were like this one!

At 72 years of age, I have many years of experience with dental offices and dentists.

This provider stands out for several reasons so I want to let others to know the reason I am recommending them.
1. They serve both HMO and PPO Delta Dental patients!

Many dentists will not accept HMO MEDICARE which often serves folks unable to pay higher premiums, because the HMO plan reimburses dentists at a lower rate. Unfortunately, the ones that do, in my experience, often pad their bills by adding procedures not coveted by insurance. These costs are passed onto patients as out of pocket costs. The providers often refused service unless I was willing to pay!
2. Cali care dentists offer the most current dental care practices which Delta refuses to cover. Fortunately, CALI Care will let you know which costs are not covered by insurance before they initiate the care.
3. The front desk is very knowledgeable and responds quickly via phone.
4. Their hygienists and dentists provide the most thorough deep cleaning!
6. You feel welcomed as soon as you enter the office; and feel you are amongst friends!

Every other DELTA HMO provider I DELTA’s Medicare HMO program (tried4) referred me to, with one exception, employed very deceptive practices designed to earn money for procedures not covered by the HMO Medicare plan. CALI-Care is different; they are honest brokers whose owners are onsite and seem to have their patient’s best interests as their primary goal. Kudos to them!”“

“Great costumer service. Dr. Kathlyn does and excellent job. She makes suggestions and gives good advice about dental issues. My family and I visit this office since 2002. It is a place that I highly recommend.“

“I have been going to North Berkeley Dental Arts for 20 years. Their staff is always friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and gentle. I’d recommend their practice to anyone.“

“I am a new patient, but already feel at home with the team at The Natural Tooth! I had to switch dentists because my former dentist dropped my insurance carrier- but the staff at The Natural Tooth were able to squeeze me in for an appointment a couple days after I called. Great bedside manner by the hygienist and doctor, which was much appreciated by this Nervous Nellie that has a lot of dental issues- ekkkk. The front desk administrators were kind and filled me in (no pun intended) on what to expect in future visits/costs. Happy I found this place.“

“My first time at Laurel Smile Dentistry. My previous dentist cancelled me three times, and as 2025 ended on 31 December, Laurel Smile Dentistry took me in the same day. They were courteous and kind. I was able to get my teeth cleaned, rescheduled for a crown replacement, and referred to another service to treat an infection growing in the root of the tooth. They use state-of-the-art technology in this industry, and I am grateful to them for keeping my teeth and hygiene secure.“

“Thank you Dennis Prat and “The Dental Touch” from the bottom of our hearts!
Thank you for your expertise and “out of this world” exceptional dental practices!
You’re one in a million!
John Linder Family-Patients of The Dental Touch since 2001.“

“I was referred by two of my coworkers as I’ve been looking for a good dentist for a while. As soon as I walked in, I felt at ease. The receptionist, Pati, was kind and helpful with intake. The dental assistant was also friendly and helpful (although I forgot her name) and Dr Solomon was amazing. She was gentle, and fully explained everything that was going on in great detail. I’m so pleased with the service and my cleaning.“

“I started going to Dr. J. Cortese about 30 years ago. He healed me from my dental trauma from my childhood dentist. I have crowns that he put in that are 25+ years old and in good shape. There was a number of years that I didnt see them due to changes in my life and I was never completely satified with the 3 different dentist that I went to. I am happy that circumstances changed and I am back in their good hands. I have seen Dr. Kara, Dr. Joseph Cortese and Dr. Frank Cortese all of whom I would give 10/10 to. The entire staff is awesome! Professional, skilled, friendly, funny and will put you at ease and do a great job on your teeth most importantly ?“

“Dr. Butler is an amazing gentle soul. Her staff are also amazingly kind, gentle, and professional. I’ve been a patient for over 5 years now and have had more than my share of work done. I highly recommend this office.“

“Very happy with this AWESOME dentist and fabulous office!! He does great work. Takes his time. Above and beyond what I hoped for. Very friendly helpful staff. Very careful around COVID precautions, which I appreciate!“

“Love my Dentist Raj Talwar. And my dental hygienist is a peach!! Always kind and helpful and very good at what they do! The new driveway and parking are great!👍🏼“
