Gentle Dental North Fresno

Overall had a good visit. The Staff were all nice & welcoming. Dr explained x-rays & treatment plan thoroughly. I have never had a dentist suggest that I need invisiline or braces. I’ve always been told that I have straight teeth for never having braces before. I brush my teeth at least 3x a day because I don’t like feeling sugars or food on my teeth & I have never been told I needed a “deep” clean. When office manager was going over my bill she said I didn’t qualify for a regular clean because Dr said I needed a deep clean. So I had to pay out of pocket a couple hundred dollars for the “deep” clean. I had a cleaning 6 months prior before I moved to California. The deep clean did feel good but if I’m ever suggested it again i will decline as I did not see that it was really any different than a regular cleaning.

If you like waiting hours to be seen and being rescheduled all the time and being scheduled far out this is the place for you. They went so skimpy on the fills they did on my son’s two cavities that the cavities came back, my new dentist had to redo one other is still too small but is likely going to also need to be refilled. My crown they did didn’t fit right i was there for hours tryin to get it to work out, they filed it so far down to try to make it fit it doesn’t even look like a real tooth anymore. I need another crown but so glad i didnt let them do it cause my new denist did my husbands and his were a breeze. Me and my family are So happy with the place I moved to. I seriously don’t know why I took so long to change dentists.

Courteous and professional staff. I was called back right at my appointment time. The hygienist helped me understand what was going on in my mouth and we made a plan for my home care.
I am extremely happy with the care they provide as well as the information they share.
This is the place and the people you want caring for your family’s teeth!

This place is ridiculous. They sent my fiancé to a surgeon that was out of his network, and THEN after being called out on it, told us he can see their own oral surgeon to take out his tooth (which by this time has caused him an EXTREME amount of pain and all the office manager says is "sorry nothing we can do".)
He has to wait yet another month, goes in thinking he will finally be relieved of the horrible pain, and after he is left waiting over an hour in the office, they tell him his copay would be $1,000. Yet again, they screwed up, and were very unprofessional about it. There was no call, no text a day before or anything warning us of this copay.
Lastly the Doctor was inappropriately looking at his staff member IN FRONT of patients, with no care. I'm sorry, but anyone of that behavior shouldn't have a practice to begin with.
Screw this place, do NOT waste your time or money here!!

This place should be out of the business. I have revisions every year and of course there is always some things. I went for the first time to this place to have a revision and have a crown and they came with a bill of more than $30,000. I was in shock it never happens to me. it was really insulting came with that amount of money. I went over the estimate at home and when I removed all the extras, and things that I don't really need and the insurance won't cover because I don't need them the total amount was basically less than a thousand dollar. I told them that I want only what I need the crown without extras and they say that they will ask the doctor to have his ok and call me back. They never call me back. What they mean to have the doctor approval. I'm the patient and I have the right to decide what exactly I want and how much money spend. Honestly I'm very disappointed and I will never come back.

Fabulous team of helpful staff who truly cared about my patient experience. From attention to detail, comfort levels, and ensuring I was updated every step of the way, forever thankful to all. :)

Gentle Dental is the best dentistry I have ever had. From the friendly office personnel to the dental hygienist and the dentist, they truly are kind, caring and gentle. They take the time to care for each patient individually and I always feel at home and that I am getting the best care possible.

I have been going to this dentist office for many years. Doctor Mallela is wonderful, he is very caring and thoughtful and always takes his time to make sure everything is done right. My hygienist- Ellen is such a joy to talk with. She does her best to make it a comfortable visit and she is easy to talk to about concerns. They have two of the best dental assistants I have ever met, they are both very knowledgeable and I have been super impressed with them. All in all, the staff is wonderful and they always seem to be organized. It may take a little while sometimes but I know it is because the doctor is so focused on doing the best he can for each patient.

I’m not a big fan of going to the Dentist from past experiences. But I must say the Fresno Gentle Dental team has changed my view on Dentist visits. They are professional, respectful but most of all gentle not to forget quick. I’m gonna give them a five star rating because that whole team deserves it especially Corrine she is a sweetheart the whole team is awesome thank you all and I will see you guys soon.

All the ladies you encounter at this office are very sweet and helpful! The dentist himself performs his work with care and gentleness. The environment really puts the anxiety of going to the dentist at ease.(:
