Michael W Jones, DDS/Park Place Dental

I have been to many dentists in my life. This is the best service I have ever gotten. It truly takes a huge chunk of the hindrance of going to the dentist out! The receptionist, Barbie, is a complete sweetheart and jewel. Kind, polite, patient, helpful, and knowledgable. Just like the rest of the staff! They treat you like gold! The dentists are always super gentle and careful no matter what they are doing to your teeth. I have had regular cleaning and deep cleaning where they literally had to take a needle and numb my mouth. I never felt any pain because they’re so nice and careful. They constantly check to make sure you are alright as they are cleaning your teeth, etc. When I had to switch to another dentist because of denti-​cal, I was truly upset because I love this place. I still go here to get my teeth cleaned because I don’t like my current dentist. I wish they would accept denti cal, but it is as it is, and I am happy to be back there getting taken care of!

Dr. Jones and his staff are amazing! Dr. Jones is caring, gentle, professional and genuinely concerned about his patients well being. His staff are equally as wonderful and considerate. I cannot imagine a better dentist and would highly recommend his services.

Gentle to the Max!
I’ve been a patient of Dr Jones for about 10 years now, and today visited to have a cavity fixed and also for a crown on one of my molars. What I expected was to get a temporary crown and have to return — what a pleasant surprise to discover that everything could be completed in just an hour!
Dr Jones has always been amazingly gentle, and I know from lousy dentistry in the past (think Little Shop of Horrors). So I really appreciate that when I visit Dr. Jones not only do I not experience any pain, I don’t even feel the anesthetic! Really amazing.
Dr Jones has always gone out of his way to avoid any unnecessary work, and tried valiantly to save a tooth that I had neglected for too long. I know this — a visit to his office whether for cleaning or crown is guaranteed to be a pleasant, painless experience.
There are plenty of dentists closer to my Novato home, but I’m following Dr Jones wherever he hangs his drill ;)

My husband and I started seeing Dr. Jones when we moved to Petaluma 5 years ago. We have loved it ever since. All the employees are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They always remember us and keep up with our family. I especially like that Barbie at the front desk will help you work with in your insurance to get the most coverage possible. They are very helpful at getting appointment times that meet our needs. I refer them to all my friends in Petaluma.

I have been going to Dr. Jones and his staff for years. they are kind and as gentle as you could ever wish for. I highly recommend them.

Dr Jones and his staff are always a joy to see. Michelle makes teeth cleaning enjoyable with her gentle touch and nice manner. And Barbie runs a very efficient front desk and always has a smile for you. They’ve made a loyal customer out of me.

I’ve had a fear of the dentist for a long time, but everyone here put me at ease. The cleaning I got was thorough, but gentle. Friendly staff and clean office. Great experience.

Dr. Jones and his staff have really been amazing.
I have always had seriously bad luck with my teeth — so going to the dentist has always been a chore for me. Dr. Jones, Barbie and the rest of the staff make me feel right at home, the moment I walk through the door. They are so gentle and caring when cleaning my teeth, and super thorough.
My husband always finds an excuse to skip out on his dentist appointment, but after he went to Dr. Jones’s office a few days ago — he promised he would be back in 6 months. He had nothing but good things to say about his cleaning there, and keeps showing me how clean his teeth are :)
They have done some amazing things with my seriously screwed up mouth… so appreciated.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Jones and his coworkers for dental work now for about eight years or so, and would never switch to anyone else. I found him when he was doing some work in San Francisco, and even though I still live here I gladly make the trips every six months or so to see him up in Petaluma. Why? Because he has consistently done fantastic work (even though I haven’t needed too much at this point *knock on wood* — my dad was a dentist too, so I grew up with him forcing me to be good about brushing, flossing, etc.). Dr. Jones is thorough, explains everything he is doing, works fast but competently, will completely accommodate if you have any type of emergency, and the prices he charges are very reasonable. He has a modern office with the latest equipment, and is an extremely pleasant guy to deal with. His staff are all fantastic as well. I couldn’t honestly say that I actually look forward to having a dental appointment, but going to Dr. Jones is about as close as I would get to feeling that way.

Dr Jones and staff are friendly and professional. I just had root canal therapy yesterday and I haven’t experienced any discomfort at all. In under 2 hours, I had the root canal, build up and crown from start to finish. The last time I had a root canal done by another dentist, I had at least 24 hours of pain associated with the procedure. Some pain is to be expected but to have none is a very pleasant surprise. My tooth was in pretty bad shape considering I broke it almost a year ago and did nothing about it until it became quite painful, but he was able to save it. He didn’t try to make me feel bad about only seeing a dentist every 14 years or so and didn’t try to suggest that my whole mouth needed work. He and his staff were very attentive to my comfort level and did everything possible to make me comfortable. Barbie in the office was very helpful with insurance and Care Credit paperwork and explained everything perfectly.
Thank you, Dr. Jones and staff, you have a patient for life.

PS. I found another site with reviews for Dr Jones and of 180 reviews, there was only one negative review and that person was not a patient. They wrote their review, based on a phone conversation only without ever stepping foot in the office.

Until I went to Dr. Jones, I had never left a dental office with more problems than when I went in. Prior dentists created problems when replacing old silver fillings with composites and I eventually had to have root canals and caps.
Dr. Jones was able to save a very expensive previous cap on a tooth and do a root canal to cure an abscess.
All of the work I’ve had done was perfect and painless and the staff is friendly and efficient. He also has state of the art technology so I’ll be seeing him again for bleaching and Invisiline braces to even out my teeth.
He’s the best dentist I’ve ever had… and I’m old enough to have had many.

A coworker recommended Park Place Dental to me so I made an apt for a cleaning. Barbie, the receptionist was fantastic and helpful so I thought it would be a good expirience… I was wrong. My apt was at 11:30 and they were running a half hour behind so they didn’t take me until noon. As soon as I sat down, they tried to upsell me a fancy toothbrush and as they went through the exam recommended a deep cleaning — another up sell.
My last cleaning was slighly over 6 months but my report from my last dentist was to floss more but overall a clean bill of health. The hygenist was very rough with the cleaning and burned my lip with the hot water from the sonic water thingy. I thought that the actual dentist was very nice and friendly but I felt like the whole time they were trying to figure out how to get more money out of me and bill more.
The dentist said that I have two cavaties… also surprising, I asked to see the spots on the xray and the response was «you probably can’t see it from where you’re sitting» I’m obviously no expert but I don’t have much faith that they exist. I will be going back to my old dentist in the city — -I would rather drive an hour and a half than go back to this place. The whole thing just gave me a bad feeling.

I’ve just begun seeing Dr. Jones recently. With each visit, I’ve felt relaxed which we all know is so important when it comes to being in the dentist chair! His work is gentle and his skills are of the highest quality. The entire staff are extremely friendly and helpful. It was a good day when I found Michael Jones!

I have been a patient of Dr. Jones for years. I had been afraid of going to the dentist most of my life. He has changed that fear. He is extremely good at what he does. He is professional, pays attention to detail AND is gentle with big babies such as myself! I would highly recommend him.
Also, his staff is great and his office is very clean.

I hate dentists, hate dentist visits more and hate a visit to a new dentist even more!
Michael and his staff were so chill; I relaxed the moment I made it through the door. Double appts for my 12 yo daughter and I. Our last DDS was fine but said cruel things that scared my daughter to tears (still no cavities).
Michael was a real guy who took the time to talk to me when my mouth did not have tools in it and was able to talk to my daughter in a way we left satisfied.
My one complaint is that darn DemandForce review and marketing system. Come on, what’s the point of allowing reviews when you can edit them or remove them? You don’t need that, Dr. Jones!
His «thing» is single day crowns. I think it is interesting to note that I knew I had buckle cracks on two molars, showed him and he did NOT advise me to fix, but said it would eventually need it. I was certain I needed to spend 500×2 today!

My wife and I both went to Dr. Jones 2 years ago. He filled a few cavities and replaced some old fillings. My wife just had to have all her fillings redone, and one required a crown. He left decay in every tooth (you could clearly see it in the x-​rays). So, sure he and his staff are very nice. However, his dentistry skills are clearly lacking.

Petaluma is lucky to have Dr. Mike Jones. I went to him when I lived in SF and he moved his practise to Petaluma and broke my heart. Then my husaband and I moved to Petaluma and I knew I at least had one thing going for me here — I already had a dentist. Dr. Jones is the nicest person — his wife is also a hygenist and the entire staff is incredibly positive, friendly and accomodating — I already know it will be a great experience for my son when it’s time for him to start going.
