Humiliating and embarrassing as it is for me to share my experience at Dr. Mishra's office, I hope it gives pause for serious consideration when choosing dental care. Dr. Mishra explained the process for a denture. His plan was to extract my upper teeth and immediately put the denture in place. He did extract my teeth, after which, he said, now the bad news. We don't have your denture. I have to return it because of the poor quality. When I asked to see the denture he sent his dental assistant to talk to me. She said she had just sent it back to the lab. It turns out my daughter knows the lab tech that was to make my denture. She called him personally to ask what happened. The lab tech said he never received the impressions. Mishra's office accepted the entire payment the morning of appointment before the actual procedure, knowing they did not have my denture. Still I opted not to confront their lying deceitful approach until they became incredibly rude weeks later. At that point I reminded them, I was not the problem here, that they are the ones that lied. When I finally did receive the denture it was extremely painful and ill fitting. Dr. Mishra told me it would get better as the healing process went on. I walked out of the office not able to wear them. After a few weeks I went back in and Dr. Mishra did what I now know as a soft reline to make it possible to use them. At that point the denture rocked back-and-forth and side to side. After waiting a few more weeks I was told that any more visits would result in added expense to me. By this time I had lost all trust and confidence in their integrity and ability to solve the problem. I have been seen by two dentists in another office. They have tried 3 re-lines at my expense. I have been informed that the denture cannot be fixed. I have to do the entire process again. The two front teeth are off to the side, not centered. I called Dr. Mishra's office to ask for the return of the money I paid for the denture only, as I have to pay to have the denture remade. I was told to get my money back from the lab because it was their fault. I paid Dr. Mishra not the lab. I have not made this review lightly. I have never left a negative review for anything or anybody. $2350 is a considerable loss for a senior citizen. I so badly want to attach a photo but it is just too humiliating. Sent from my iPhone

I meant to write a review for this dentist awhile back, but I just decided to do it today. I had bad experiences with this dentist and the Hygienist. They didn't do the good job on my bridges and other teeth. The dentist didn't finished his job but asked the assistant to finish the cement. The bridges turn out loose, I had to called in many times and he didn't want to fixed the problem. The Hygienist who cleaned my teeth had been taking out the filling on my tooth until I felt sensitive. Before I moved to Merced from other State I had seen my dentist 2 month before I see this dentist, my teeth have no problem my dentist from other State said my teeth all good until I started seeing the hygienist. She told the dentist this tooth, that tooth need to changed the crowns...go on. The first time she cleaned my tooth she was so nice but unfortunately I saw her gave an signal to the dentist about one of my tooth that need to changed to be a crown..., and later changed my old bridges that I had for many years and no problem until they changed and caused problems later on. One day, the hygienist did an X-ray on my teeth; she made the x-ray pad sharp so that would hurt me when I bite down, but I didn't bite down hard since it hurt my gum and then the pictures of the X-ray about my teeth were not closed. When I told the hygienist or the dentist that I felt sensitive on my teeth and they ignored me. I decided to see other dentist so that he can gave me the second opinion about my bridges and sensitive teeth. I told my current (new dentist) about the sensitive teeth and he found a cracked on my tooth that I had filling on that tooth, So... now I know because the hygienist has been causing me problems about my teeth; she had been taking off the filling every time she cleaned my teeth so they would changed all my teeth to be crowns. One day, I came in to see this dentist about some problems with my bridges that he changed. There was an old lady sit at the lobby and she seemed to be not happy and hurried; she told the front desk that my teeth are ok; she said I didn't want to changed any things why called me to come in...so my feeling told me that this place want people come in for more works and make more money. If you disagree with my review, you are lucky that they did not do these to you. Now they called my husband to come in, lied to him said come to see his X-ray, but they complained and asked to changed my review instead.

Loved this dental office, but was not warned that my insurance wasn't accepted here. Now I am stuck with a $300+ bill for a routine cleaning...

I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Mishra and his staff. They are all very friendly and professional. I actually enjoy going to the dentist now. All my cleanings are pain free thanks to Hannah. She is the best dental hygienist that has ever cleaned my teeth. If you are looking for a dentist please consider Dr. Mishra's office.
