Feb 24, 2025Reply now »Dentist's dentist wanted
–Jun 24, 2022For most of my early adult years I had a great dentist - he retired years ago and since then I've been through too many dentists who have just been not great. Here's the deal, I have a LOT of fillings, crowns, etc, I don't have great teeth to start with. After so long and so much work I'm REALLY aware of a good vs. not good dentist. The last one I found was pretty good but is on his way out and the new dentist is a hard NO trying to sell me everything under the sun.
I'm looking for a recommendation for a TOP dentist - HONEST for starters, who won't try to tell me I need things done that I don't, SKILLED where I don't leave feeling the rough edges of a filling because they didn't take the time to make sure it was done right, UP TO DATE on the latest in their industry and a CLEAN office that doesn't look like it's from the 70's. If you have a great dentist, PLEASE share - you can message me privately, I know we get protective of our dentists, belive me! TIA
Jun 24, 2022DENTIST in Direct Dental Net in BERK//OAK/ALB/SF
–Apr 11, 2022I’m looking for a caring, professional dentist for adults who accepts insurance from Direct Dental. I’ve had bad luck in the past with my dental care and have unfortunately developed complications that now need expert care. Can you recommend a dentist with exemplary skills and kindness who has time available in his or her schedule to see a new patient? I would be deeply grateful to hear from anybody who has a recommendation for me!
Apr 11, 2022Moms and Dads: I've browsed through the past listings in the archives, but many of the reviews are 10 years old or more! I would appreciate a recommendation for a dentist in the area Berkeley - El Cerrito. I have multiple cavities and crowns and have more to do, so I'm looking for an excellent dentist who doesn't oversell but is good at evaluating what is needed and good at making it work. If you would add a sentence or two of the type of work you have had done by your recommended dentist, it would be much appreciated. Please answer through BPN. Thank you!

Jun 12, 2019Dentist in West Contra Costa
–Jul 10, 2018My 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.
Jul 10, 2018East Bay Dentist Specializing in Amalgam Removal
–Jul 20, 2016Hi there,
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a dentist in the East Bay who specializes in the removal of old fillings to minimize absorption of amalgam in the body.
Thank you!

I really love Dr. Cynthia Cox. I've been seeing her for years, and now all my friends go to her too :). She's outgoing, smart, up to date, and yet conservative about suggesting (expensive) dental work when not necessary. I'm not a sensitive dental patient but they are always so careful with me when I get treatment, and ask if I want/need any modifications, etc. When I needed a root canal she set me up with the periodontist across the hall and walked over several times to check on me. Her office takes Delta Dental. The decor of her office is pretty dated - looks like my mom's kitchen - but her equipment isn't. She's in Oakland, Pill Hill area.
