They are incredibly helpful, and the people who work there are truly amazing. From the very first moment I walked in, I felt seen, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. They treated me with such kindness, compassion, and respect that it immediately put me at ease during a very difficult time in my life. Their support, patience, and encouragement meant more to me than I can fully express. Little by little, they helped me find my way back to myself—and even helped me smile again when I thought that might not be possible. I am deeply grateful for everything they have done for me. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is looking not just for help, but for genuine care, understanding, and human connection.
The service provided was excellent, with all personnel demonstrating a high level of proficiency. The check-in process was exceptionally efficient, resulting in minimal wait times. Everyone was super nice. 5+ stars.
I had the best cleaning I have ever had. Everyone here is always so friendly and takes the time to explain everything to you.
Everyone is exceptionally friendly! Very knowledgeable about what they do. They explain the procedure beforehand. They make you feel at ease. Dentists are very experienced and gentle! I will definitely go there again for my dental needs!! 🦷😃👍👍
My first visit to "gotta smile dentistry" was amazing!! My dental assistant was fantastic, very gentle while doing my X-rays and explained everything to me in terms that I understood. My Dentist was amazing as well in taking care of me, explaining the upcoming procedures and different options available to me. I am looking forward to my upcoming visits. I have returned for my third appointment. My lower denture plate fitting and color choice was done today. I was made aware that because I have extensive work to be done it was going to take several visits. Today's visit we were able to pick the perfect color for my lower denture plate which is going to look amazing. I am very happy that I have a dental assistant and a dentist that appear to be perfectionists, I DO NOT mean that in a bad way at all. I am lucky that they are paying such close attention to everything, it's truly amazing. In the days ahead I am scheduled for 5 extractions, 3 bone grafts (which terrify me) and then the final touch will be my beautiful lower dentures. After my extractions and bone grafts I will be back to write another review.But so far I am VERY VERY HAPPY with everyone at Gotta Smile Dentistry. I definitely have the "A" team. I believe that everyone there is the "A" team. February 19th 2026 I went in to have my lower denture fitted. I still had 5 lower teeth and a horrible toothache. So, the dentist asked me if I wanted those teeth pulled, heck yeah I do!! He numbed me up REALLY good. I've had teeth pulled before and always felt pain while they were being extracted so I was prepared for that but, I FELT NO PAIN when he pulled those 5 teeth!! I am beyond thankful and very appreciative of this Dentist numbing me so well. I'm looking forward to picking up my lower denture in a couple weeks. I highly recommend "Gotta Smile Dentistry". EXCELLENT Dentists, Dental Assistants and Office personnel!! ❤️❤️❤️ March 11th 2026 I had a wonderful visit today to try my new lower dentures. My amazing Dentist made a few adjustments in office and I came home with absolutely BEAUTIFUL bottom teeth!! I have to go back next week and possibly a couple more times for adjustments which is fine with me because this process cannot be rushed. I'm looking so forward to the final visit when my Dentist has perfected the fit and comfort. I have ABSOLUTE faith in my Dentist and I KNOW he is going to make sure I have comfortable, pain free, perfect fitting beautiful lower denture. I am EXTREMELY HAPPY with my Dentist and all the other wonderful friendly people in the office. I HIGHLY recommend Gotta Smile Dentistry on Robinhood in Stockton. June 12 2026 My last appointment for my permanent lower denture plate. I am beyond satisfied with the end result. Super fantastic work done by everyone in this office. Perfectly match my top teeth in color. They are very comfortable and they stay in place without having to use poli-grip. I absolutely love everyone that works in this Dental office, they are always very friendly and very willing to address any discomfort no matter how minute it may be. I will be recommending them to everyone I know. I appreciate the 100% attention to detail and perfection they practice.
