Chico Modern Dentistry

Amazing doctors and staff. Maritza was very helpful and assisted greatly.

I came in a while back and was greeted by very friendly staff. I wasnt sure as to how to go about what i needed and Alyssa was super helpful and got me in and dealt with in no time! She was super energetic and uplifting on a bad day for me, i’d come back just to chat with her again!

Been here several visits and have always had a great experience. The doctors and staff is amazing. Payton has always made my treatments affordable with installment plans

My first time here was great! Everyone was super helpful and sweet! Alyssa was a big help! She did not hesitate to help at all & answered any questions I had the best she could! Thankyou!!

I scheduled a cleaning here three weeks ago. When I arrived we did X-rays and it was determined that I need a crown on the back left side. I felt pressured into changing the treatment plan for the day into getting a crown instead of doing a regular cleaning. Midway through drilling, the dentist said that the tooth next to the one being worked on also needed a crown. And again, I was pressured into getting both crowns. I was shown a signature spot and I signed. I did not know at the time that I would be getting a temp crown as their posters in the lobby said same-day (and everyone kept saying "oh this will only take a few hours"), and no one explained this to me until both teeth had been drilled. I left that day in excruciating pain and was left wondering... had I really needed that dental work or had they just taken me for over $2000? After five days of horrible pain and sleepless nights, I decided to pull my bay area dentist's records and realized I had only paid $800 without insurance for the only other crown I have AND it was placed in a 3-hour appointment with little or no resulting pain. (And my dentist texted and called me to check-up on how I was doing afterward!)

If I had been thinking, I would have stuck with just the cleaning, and returned to my original (and trusted) dentist to get a second opinion and or schedule a same-day crowns with him.

I returned today for my crown placement and voiced these frustrations, which the main responses was: you signed, you paid and tough luck.

As the crown placement and cleaning wrapped up, the dentist asked if I had "contracted" for a fluoride paste (which was in a pea-size sample pack)... confused as to what "contracted" meant, he just said I could keep it. He then went into how to use it. A front office worker walked in an exclaimed, "It's $26!", to which I tossed it on the counter and walked out. Frustration doesn't even begin to describe.

I am disappointed in the lack of professionalism, transpency, and communication. I feel I was upsold an "urgent", expensive service and having no time to think, I agreed to something that I ultimately did not want, nor would I have moved forward with had I had a moment to look up prior bills.

Miriam was nice and seemed sincere. However, I will not be returning to this specific location. I do hope that my teeth last a long time and I don't have any issues with quality of work (so far).

Alyssa was very polite and courteous as it was my first time going here, and was not sure what I needed. She helped me figure out what treatment I needed, I highly recommend going to this place.

The place was clean and staff was nice. There was this one lady named Payton, she was so friendly and welcoming. She deserves a raise! Way to go to this lovely woman who made my experience go above and beyond!! 😁

Alyssa was amazing. She was so helpful and she was very knowledgeable on all the things I asked her about my dental hygiene. I would recommend her to any of my friend or family.

Nice and clean place with lovely people there to greet and welcome you! The dental assistant, her name was Alyssa, was very friendly, energetic and made sure i had a great first time experience at this place!

i always come here for my dental needs, Alyssa was super nice and had great conversation. Definitely someone i would go back to.
