A chemical engineer before he became a dentist, Dr. Craig Sommer’s experience made him aware of the importance of using the most biocompatible materials possible to avoid negative impacts on our health as well as the environment. A graduate of the UCLA School of Dentistry, his holistic training includes certification from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology for safe removal of mercury fillings.
Best dental experience I’ve had. Cleaning was painless and doctor is very personable and professional. Would definitely recommend
Here are the services I recieved: removal of 2 molars, gingivitis cleaning, amalgam removal, 2 crowns and a couple fillings. I will start this review with my dental hygienist. I don't remember her name but she was great! She was kind and friendly, very informative on the health of my gums. She even recommended that I purchase a water pik to clean the deep pockets that were a concern. I have gone to several hygienist and have never been recommended to use the water pik before. I love the feeling after I cleanse my gums with the pik. My review on Dr. Sommers: on my first visit with him he explained all the findings on the health of my teeth and made his recommendations. I opted to have 2 molars removed because I didn't want to have a diseased tooth in my mouth causing me problems. I chose to have the top molar removed because it would have to be removed later on because of the missing tooth below. I chose to save myself any problems with that tooth later on. On to the revival of the tooth. He was great! I had a bad experience with tooth removal in the past and so I was very nervous and anxious. But his assistant was great in checking on me and making sure I was okay. Dr. Sommers was gentle but firm in the removal of the teeth, that they came out without having to be broken. Next, was the amalgam removal. That was not a fun process but it needed to get done. He did a great job removing the amalgam and cleaning and prepping the teeth for the crowns. His assistants were all fantastic, they took the necessary pictures for the crowns. I was very happy with my crowns. The office is clean and all the staff is friendly. I really appreciated the follow up phone calls from Dr. Sommers. I will definitely be coming back and recommending them to friends.
They've helped me so much! Saved my life I had a bad infection every other dentist missed. Dr sommers is great♡
I went to another dentist "group" in the springs area and they gave me 5 fillings, one of which, on the day of my appointment decided "oh this needs a root canal". They did not state this in the EXAM, and I was really upset. I had to go over 2 weeks, with a temp filling in a tooth that gave me so much pain I lived on aspirin. Thus began my search for a better dentist. I was already filled with anxiety, the previous dentist just ground out my mercury filling and it went literally everywhere on my mouth. It was horrible!! My experience with Craig has been nothing but amazing. I feel relaxed and comfortable when I come in, he SAVED my tooth that the previous place needed to do a root canal on. I have no pain, I have my real tooth with a partial crown, all the work that's been done by Craig and his team has been amazing. When he removed one of my other mercury fillings, he covered my mouth with this rubber isolating thing (lol I don't know what it's called), that isolated the one tooth and protected my mouth. He put an oxygen mask on my nose to protect the air I breathe and had this machine that sucked the air near the extraction. I was impressed. Overall, he is patient, he listens to you, he doesn't make you feel like he's trying to rush you out the door to get to the next patient, he does ALL the work and makes sure it's done perfectly. He constantly asks if you're comfortable, even if you say yes he will ask again just to be sure. He really cares and you can see that. I recently moved to Arizona, but I've been going back to Colorado just so I can continue working with Craig, it's going to suck when he retires because he truly is one of the best.
You can go to 1,000 dentists and you'll never find one like Dr. Sommer. He is a true master of dentistry. He is extremely gentle, patient, and knowledgeable. He takes as much time as he needs to do the job correctly, and pays attention to the most minute details. When I visit his office, I feel like I'm at a spa - I'm always relaxed, the staff makes me feel comfortable, and I can fully trust them to do their jobs correctly and give me the information I need. They always take the time to explain what they're doing, they will continually check on your comfort levels to make sure you're doing alright, and they're happy to stop or give you extra numbing during a procedure should you need it. The other day I showed up to my appointment the day before it was actually scheduled. It takes me about 50 minutes round trip to get from work to their office and back, and since it was already 4pm, it was too late for me to go back to work, and I couldn't request to leave early 2 days in a row....so they took me in after hours. I was completely floored that they would do that when it was MY mistake. I have never in my life been treated with the level of customer care that they take in this office. I could not recommend them highly enough!
Came to Dr. Sommers for a second opinion on a tooth that needed a root canal. He had a great alternative that fixed my tooth pain and helped my pocket book. The work they did was outstanding, looks completely natural compared to my other silver fillings. The team is very knowledge and Dr Sommers is very caring and thorough when explaining things. Get educated on holistic dentistry on his website, it’s a great thing.
Dr Sommer is a great dentist. He is always thorough and professional, and I know that I'm getting the care that I need. Plus his staff is friendly and welcoming. Just a great dental experience.
Knowledgeable holistic dentist, pleasant office manager, gentle dental hygienist Melissa who clarifies procedures,. I highly recommend this dental office.
Melyssa did a great job at my cleaning appointment. Dr. Sommer and his staff are all wonderful. I am so happy to have found Dr. Sommer. He is a real artist.
Let’s face facts - teeth are important but not always easy. My son had a huge fear about going to the dentist - he even started taking remedies to save his teeth now that he is almost 40 - finally after I located Dr. Sommer via the web based on his holistic philosophy he found the courage to go see this amazing doctor. He was so delighted with the treatment and care he received that he no longer fears going to the dentist - he even asked me to consider changing my dentist, who I was fine with, so I did a consultation with Dr. Sommer and found to my dismay that had periodontal issues - so glad I switched dentists! I want to keep my teeth and I have always taken care to visit the dentist religiously (but my dentist wasn’t really taking care of my teeth) and now with an amazing - quality professional like Dr. Sommer and his staff I will...I recommend you do the same.
