Western Dental & Orthodontics - General dentist in Santa Rosa, CA

Weve been making quality care more affordable since our founder, Dr. Curtis Beauchamp, opened his first office in 1903. Like a lot of visionaries back then in Los Angeles, he did a lot more than start a practice. He opened up dentistry to the people and championed the idea that everyone should have good oral health.

He did it by delivering excellent care at affordable prices and letting his patients pay over time. Back then, they called it 'Credit Dentistry.' These days, it 's how almost all of us afford the braces, root canals and implants we need.

By the 1930s Dr. Beauchamp and his son, Dr. Robert F. Beauchamp were treating thousands of patients at multiple locations. Fast forward to today, and we serve over 1 Million people a year in four states.

I went in to have teeth pulled and get immediate dentures. I went in the back and everyone was so nice especially the young man that was giving me the numbing shots. So gentle. The reason I gave 3 stars is because they made appointment for an hr later. Didn't tell me. Then the Dr forgot to put guaze in my mouth so bleeding extremely bad. I stopped to get some stuff to help clot things. I had a 2hr drive to get home. Then called next day and started calling at 9am till 5:30pm and I couldn't get through. I am glad that it wasnt a really urgent thing. Gonna try again today. I'm so frustrated and in pain. Still nothing.

Scammers- they do not tell you of any fees till the day of your appointment costing more than the average income anyone can afford. The entire office including the dentist try to con people on state assistance thinking they can get extra if it is out of pocket side money adding fees they don't mention over phone or after consult visit. Do not go to this place! They should be shut down by their misconduct and trickery. They will prey on the elderly, low income, and/or who have Medi-Cal. They will take your dentures claim they fixed them and you will end up having to pay to redo them. Do not go here. They will claim you accepted certain things without any written and signed contract & (unlawfully) add charges they send in their fictitious billings. Do not go here they will try to make fake charges and ruin your credit. Do not let them tell you they can cover most services except for one part which will cost usually the most. This is untrue Medi-cal covers service to the fullest. They will lie and say they can't do it, but they can, they change options to this who don't understand that the lesser costing of any type of dental surgery or dentures are covered! DO NOT BE FOOLED!!! GO ELSEWHERE!!! PETALUMA HEALTH CENTER AND SANTA ROSA VISTA CLINIC BOTH COVER DENTAL BY MEDI-CAL AND SLIDING SCALE.

This place is horrible. I came 10 minutes early to my appointment then waited 2 hours before even being seen. When they took my xrays i could see how dirty the xray machine was as the lady was doing my xrays. Disgusting!!! I wanted to run right out of there. I felt so sick to my stomach. After that nightmare i had to wait 1 more hour before the dentist even saw me. That went just as bad. The rooms are very out dated. I felt like i was in the 80s again. The dentist did not even care about how i felt and ended our short time together. A whole 10 minutes. And know for the first time in my entire life i have a cold sore on my lip. Im 40 years old. This place is horrifying and absolutely disgusting.

Sometimes they make you sit and wait on the exam chair for a long time until the doctor comes in. Also when you have multiple appointments they are not clear what the appointments are for and how long each one will be!

Very bad. I have an appointment 10:30am today and I got here earlier but I have had wait here for 1+ hour but still wait here. They wasted my time and I'm not boring. I have to work but nobody care. They earned lots money but just gave customers terrible service. If there has no star I'll choose it. lot people wait here not safe and they gave lots patients the same appointment time.Very sad! I'm so sorry because there have some different part in the same address so maybe I hurt some innocent person or department. I just want to give some nagetive feedback to a front desk of toothache treatment she was so disgusting and ugly.
