Dentist in West Contra Costa
My old dentist retired, and I am looking for a new dentist in West Contra Costa for me and my two young children. I prefer old school dentists who take a non-interventionist approach. I am particularly interested in someone who will not push me to remove perfectly fine metal fillings to replace them with composite fillings. I also prefer someone with decades of experience. This comes from a bad experience with a dentist in the area who pushed me to replace a filling that didn't need to be replaced, cracked my tooth while doing it, then couldn't figure out what the pain was from despite multiple return visits. I finally had to go to my childhood dentist in San Ramon (an old school non-interventionist guy with decades of experience) who figured out the problem right away and was able to fix the damage.

Rodney Kim, DDS, on San Pablo in El Cerrito. Definitely old-school, non-interventionist, basic dentist. I recommend him.
Dr. Thibault in Pinole- I found him after seeing a dentist in Walnut Creek that wanted to drill seven holes in my teeth for no reason. It’s hard to find honest dentists.
