I was treated with lots of care by all

From the moment I walked into their office I was treated with warmth and respect. The genuinely kind lady at the front desk greeted me like I'd been there before. She even offered several times to make me a cup of coffee, put creamer in it, and bring it to me! Please don't see this as some sort of social protest, but that spoke volumes to me as a Black man in terms of kindness and respect. I have been to four dental offices this year. All left me with the feeling of being a customer rather than a patient. But Dr. "K" took the time to "tutor" me in analyzing my 3D scans, intelligently explaining what the scans showed, pointing out an abscess that no other dentist deemed critical enough to tell me about. Dr. K guided me into options open to me that would address my needs. What impressed me was that he had answers which, for me being someone outside of his profession, were logical and simple to comprehend. But that wasn't all! His brother, Dr. B, was not in the office that day. But Dr. K explained to me what Dr. B's area of expertise is and suggested that I speak with him and "be sure to ask him lots of questions." The dental assistant who performed my scans and photos was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I can now make an intelligent decision regarding a plan of treatment. And my decision is to trust Central Vallley Dentistry.

I had been going to the same dentist for 40 years. I moved to AZ and had to find another one. My daughter introduced me to this dentist. They are fabulous! I had to get a new crown. They made it right there. I went in and had the prep and walked out with a beautiful new crown. The staff is so helpful and friendly. Dr. Canoza is so knowledgeable and pain free!

I reached out early in the morning just to leave a message. I was trying to see if I could get in for a tooth issue. I received a text back before office hours. They were able to make time to see me that day. The communication and visit was way above my expectations.

My experience this far with this practice has already exceeded expectations. As a new patient, I came in for a cleaning and mentioned a botched cavity filling from a prior dentist. It is hard for me to floss in that area now. Not only did Dr Behbahani go over the x rays with me in detail, he did all of the hygienist work as well because I believe they were short staffed. I will be coming back to get the cavity re filled in a few weeks and they even had an available appointment on the exact day I needed.

Very impressed. Staff are very attentive and professional. I don't do well in the dentist office. The Dr was thorough. I'd been to another dentist and stated my concern w dental issues. I'd been concerned about a new possible cavity and previous dentist assured me that there was no cavity. Said it was fine. This Dr checked front AND inside the back. Large cavity on 2 teeth. If I hadn' t gone to CNV, this would have been another crown for certain. She offered a medicated tooth paste that will help stabilize the health of my teeth. Just every thing was better. More calming atmosphere, gas if I need it, found other dental issues but also shared a way to make this more financially comfortable. No one else ever did that. Nice.

CVD provides such a wonderful experience! The receptionist, Amanda, and office manager, Judy, make you feel welcome and help you to understand your insurance coverage and treatment plans so you have no surprises. My hygenist Payten, is the absolute best! I have had very bad anxiety about going to the dentist due to past experiences and she helped me feel so comfortable. I actually look forward to my visits now. Thank you to Dr. Canoza, Dr. B and the whole team!

10/10 would genuinely reccomend. The entire office ensures you are comfortable with and confident in the treatment plan. Generally, CVD is less expensive than other offices but the work is higher quality. Before, during and after the treatment Dr. B made sure I was comfortable, understood what was happening and not in pain. Very patient-centric. Dr. B demonstrates strong expertise in Dentistry. The platlet rich plasma thingy he did made the healing soo soo much quicker and more interesting. I beleive this helped me buy-in to the recovery instructions because I was just fascinated. The fact that he is constantly growing his knowledge with the latest and greatest treatments is a great indicator of a great dentist. I can't say enough good things about the dental hygienists too. Patient, thorough and kind. I now think of CVD as not only for major treatments but also for ongoing routine cleanings and maintenance. CVD did not ever feel ashamed of my teeth even though my plan involved significant treatment. I now look forward to maintaining my teeth that I am proud of! Big fan of Central Valley Dentistry. Update: Central Valley Dentistry is still the best
