Sebastopol Dental Care | Rushang S Patel DDS

"I was recommended Sebastopol Dental Care by word of mouth. My experience was comfortable, educational, and most importantly, pleasant as my oral health is in better condition. Preventative measures is the overall approach here and saving as much enamel (your tooth) is recommended. Listed are the important pros: 1. Same-day ceramic crowns are available! With the latest technology, the dentist designs it in front of your eyes and makes any necessary adjustments on site. It’s about a 45 minute wait time in which you can be educated on how the technology works and take a tour of the making of the crown. 2. Being educated…Take advantage of the information in the rooms (shown in attached photos). This will help encourage engaging in preventative precautions. During my x-rays, I asked many questions in which all were answered and more! Honestly, ask away, it is motivational and great to understand why oral health is important. 3. Thorough cleaning. 4. The staff is warming and welcoming, a “we’ve known you for years” type feel. Parking on site makes the appointment convenient. 5. Appointments are available within a week of calling and the staff will call if there’s a cancellation and they can for a patient in sooner. I called and came the next day for my first visit. 6. The RIGHT type of mouth wash available to purchase on site. I learned from a podcast “Huberman Lab” titled “Oral Health” that many mouth washes have alcohol as an ingredient which is actually opposite of what you need to kill the bacteria and prevent cavities. The OraCare mouth wash has many bacteria killing ingredients including xylitol which is known to starve and kill bacteria. 7. Lastly, I was given steps on how to assist my infant’s upcoming oral health, and left with items to start today! The only con that may prevent people from coming here is the higher expense, yet, everyone’s insurance situation is different. My financial decision was weighed out as I listed long and short term goals and risks. I realized it was worth the expense. I thought about the documentary “The Root Cause”, and wanted to feel confident in choosing the right dentist. In addition, who wants to worry that their tooth with crack in half while waiting for their crown to be made off-site? Or coming in for additional appointments because the crown needs to be sent back for additional adjustments? Overall, my experience was amazing."

"Friendly and welcoming dental practice. Dr. Patel, with his background in engineering, uses cutting edge technology to provide excellent restorative dentistry. What's important to me is that he uses this technology to keep as much of the tooth intact when crowns are needed. At the start of the appt., Dr. Patel reviews the procedure in everyday language, so I feel like I understand why it's needed and what's going to happen. And during the procedure, Dr. Patel explains what he's doing, each step of the way. It's very calming and reassuring. The staff is wonderful too, Jennifer and Heather have been so helpful and accommodating. I'm very happy to have found this dental practice!"
