Edward Dergosits, DDS

Dr Ed is really an amazing guy! He cares so much about his patients, is super friendly… but more than that, he really knows his craft inside and out. I am a person that has suffered from dental and periodontal issues for most of my 56 years. I have had many root canals in the past and also extensive gum recession, so I have had my whole mouth grafted! I still have problems and as I age, they seem to appear more often. I have been seeing very expensive periodontists and dentists for years travelling to SF because I was scared to change dentists. Recently, I had an dental emergency and a friend referred me to Dr Dergosits. He responded to me on his cell phone during the weekend even though I was not an established patient. I had never even seen him before. The deal was that 2 teeth had broken, old root canals in them and had to come out quickly for worry of infection, etc. As it turned out, there was no way to save the teeth and I had to have implants put in. This process would have taken at least a year at any other dentist/​periodontist «team.» Since my problems required a dentist plus a periodontist in the past, the costs, the time spent and turnaround time for prosthetics was monumental. Not at this office. He pulled the teeth and put the implants in at once. I did not have a moment of pain, swelling or bleeding. UNHEARD OF with these surgeries. The follow through between himself, personally, and his admin gal, Andrea, was seamless.
Dr Ed is a talented and technical surgeon, who unlike most dentists, can do dentistry, periodontics and endodontics in order to expedite the most complicated cases! He saved me money, time, anxiety and related health issues. I am delighted to recommend him highly.

Dr. Ed has shown my wife and all referrals we send the finest in dental care. It’s been over the last 25+ years that we have enjoyed thoughtful and courteous service from him and his staff. Andrea is always supportive and humorous. Thanks from Tony & Robin Lucero.

What can you say about a dentist who goes to a blog site for dental professionals and points with obvious pride, as he did with me today, to a comment someone had left about «his professional integrity and ethics?» He’s a good, decent guy that knows denistry and practices it wonderfully. Today, he extracted my left front tooth after it was discovered that it was cracked and badly infected and replaced it with a temporary bridge. I was about as anxious going into the dental office as I’ve ever been. But 2 ½ hours later, I walked out looking even better than what I came in, and that’s really thanks to his patient explanation, both in his office and on the phone to my home, of the pros and cons of different treatment options some weeks before. And when he learned I had been charged several hundred dollars more than the initial estimate, he rescinded the charge. This is one terrific dentist.

After seeing that my old dentist had a couple negative reviews here on Unilocal,I had to say something…
I went to Dr. Dergosits for years, and still after having left the area and trying out numerous dentists he’s the only dentist that I trust. Dr. Dergosits saved not one, not two, but three of my teeth from having to have a root canal. He repaired a ton of botched work that was previously done by other dentists. He is technically genius, a truly gifted dentist that will give you the facts about your oral health, and he honestly cares.
I had a root canal done on one tooth by Dr. Dergosits almost twelve years ago. I also had another root canal done on another tooth by another dentist 5 years ago. Now, the tooth the Dr. Dergosists worked on is still in perfect condition – like new. The other tooth however has to be redone because of the space that the other dentist left between the crown and my gum.
Whoever «Susan L.» sounds really misguided. Whatever work Dr. Dergosists did on her husband, I’m sure it was necessary. She and her husband sound like they are not being realistic about whatever oral issues the husband was having (it’s common for people to try and ignore, or downplay oral health), and it sound like her neighbor dentist is equally misguided. Dr. Dergosists is absolutely not the type of dentist to do unnecessary work – quite the opposite, he’ll do his best to do as little work as possible but the work he does do will last a lifetime. I can say this with confidence as a patient of his for many years.
Dr. Dergosists is a little quirky – he loves to fish, so you’ll see evidence of that around the office. But, he is a stellar dentist. He does the best work I’ve ever had done on my teeth in my life, and I’ve even thought of making a trip back to the area only to get work done by him.
I have a good dentist now in Chicago with many five star reviews here on Unilocal (which is how I found him), but he’s not better than Dr. Dergosits. Lady D. and Susan L. should really rethink their reviews. Too bad people feel they need to trash others because they don’t get exactly what they expect. Dr. Dergosits is a real talent and anyone who goes to him as a patient is lucky to have him as a dental resource.

The lady at the front desk was very very rude and very unprofessional. She didn’t even made an afford to call my insurance company and told me do it and bring her all the rates and billing info! Plus while talking to me she was eating a tuna sandwich, it was very nasty picture. Doctor was late. The staff was talking to each other using filthy language. Doctor told me that almost all my teeth need a lot of work. I decided to check that with different specialist, my new dentist send a request of my films to Dr Dergosits office. The tuna sandwich lady said she will send it right the way but she newer did. Finally three weeks later at the day of my appointment people from the new dental office called me and said that they didn’t receive films yet, and that sandwich lady doesn’t want to cooperate. So I had to ran to the Dr. Dergosits office to get my films, she told me she was gonna sand them today. Very bad experience, and by the way only one of my tooth needed to be taken care of not almost all of them as Dr. Dergosits said. DO NOT go there!!!

I have been getting state-​of-​the-​art dental care from Dr Ed Dergosits for over a decade — it has been worth every penny!
Genetically, I may not have the greatest teeth, but I do have a wonderful smile partly because of my awesome dental team :)
Dr Dergosits is a total dental geek, but isn’t that what you want in a dentist?
His hygienist Christy is brilliant too! And Andrea is great at managing the flow of the office, — w/​out her we’d be in trouble…
Dergosits is a perfectionist. (which means that schedules may get changed as he takes the time to get every little detail right — absolutely worth it in the long term!) He really knows how to make quality, long-​lasting, attractive fillings (all w/​out silver/​mercury), crowns, and implants. & he’s a minimalist — he won’t sell you on stuff you don’t need. Personally, I like him; I am a perfectionist in my work too, and I respect his focus on optimal results.
Christy has a gentle way of teaching you what you need to know to do an ever better job of self-​care with your teeth, while polishing off the fuzzy texture to a smooth luxurious feel. I always look forward to having her clean my teeth! I feel confident that I am getting the best dental care in northern California!
I came to Dr Dergosits after I had been on antibiotics and in pain for several months while investing thousands of dollars in a root canal with a different dentist. Dr. Dergosits looked at the x-​ray this other dentist had taken before he even did the root canal, pointed to the crack in the tooth, and told me the sad news that my tooth was not savable. (ie, the root canal should never have been done on a tooth that was cracked) Dr. Dergosits said I would feel much better when the infected tooth was taken out; this turned out to be true and a huge relief. Then Dr Dergosits began the process of building me a replacement tooth that looks fabulous! Since then I have enjoyed the highest quality of dental care with Dr Dergosits & his team.
They really take pride in providing ethical & excellent dentistry!

I just had a tooth extracted by Dr. Edward Dergosits. Upper right rear — a difficult location. AND I am also on a blood thinner. Because of traumatic experiences with dentists prior to Dr. Dergosits, I looked forward to this event with no little trepidation.
To my extreme relief, Dr. D did not WRENCH the tooth from my mouth, but cut up the tooth and extracted it with his fingers. He says his motto is «fingers, not fists.»
My husband has had a great deal of work done by Dr. D, including implants, and he is equally impressed with his work. I know many patients of Dr. Dergosits who hold him in the same high regard as my husband and I do.

I’ve been seeing Dr Dergosits for 6+ years. He’s done a exceptional job on my teeth. Including implants and crowns. He has the best hygienist and no bs staff.
Maybe not the best chair side manner. But thorough and competent. Dr. D does it all and wont send you to a specialist for every little thing.
His rates are fair for the work done. I don’t have insurance and this means a lot to me.
Appointment are easy. No big wait. He’s very tech and has the latest equipment. Which I like! I do recommend Dr. Ed Dergosits.
