Select Dental truly exceeded my expectations with their exceptional care and services, including thorough dental cleaning and detailed X-ray examinations. Their team's attentiveness and responsiveness were remarkable, always available to answer my calls and promptly responding to my emails.
I wholeheartedly recommend Select Dental for their professionalism and cutting-edge technology. My switch to Select Dental was prompted by a change in my job's insurance policy, and it turned out to be a fortunate decision.
Initially, I was under the impression that I could use X-rays taken at a previous dentist less than a year ago. However, the dentist at Select Dental (whose name escapes me) explained the need for updated X-rays. To my surprise, these new X-rays were far more comprehensive, offering valuable insights into my dental health.
Admittedly, I was slightly inconvenienced by the longer-than-expected appointment duration, as I had several meetings lined up that day. This was a learning moment for me to inquire more about the appointment's length in advance. Despite this minor hiccup, the thoroughness of the care provided was well worth the extra time.
Select Dental has undoubtedly become my preferred dental care provider. Residing in Oakland, I am delighted to rely on them for all my future dental cleanings and any other dental needs. Their commitment to patient care and advanced dental practices make them a standout choice in the area.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Martha R.Highland Terrace, Oakland, CA082Apr 11, 2024Updated review
Update: a year later & still the best dental office!
Every appointment I go to is so pleasant from deep cleaning to fillings. The care that I receive from everyone is beyond my expectations.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Dec 27, 2022Previous reviewHere it goes! I am terrified of the dentist, it took so much for me to finally make an appointment. I'm so glad I did Dr. Mola is just so professional and kind that I felt safe sitting in that chair.
Today I went in for my second deep cleaning and both times I had Michelle, she is wonderful, so patient, calm and just positive! I do have to say that the environment they have in this office is like no other. Everyone is just working so calmly, the background music is always good. I feel so welcome and not judged but comfortable. Thank you Michelle! - Elena F.Oakland, CA141608Apr 8, 2024
Dr. Mola and staff have legit made me forget about my fear of the dentist. Super awesome experience each time I have come here. They are fast and friendly and actually pay attention to your preferences! My first procedure here was a root canal. I was in and out in 30 min. The last root canal I had at a different office took 2 hours and a lot of pain. I'm happy I found them!

Dr. Mola and his entire staff are just simply amazing! Love coming here to a warm welcome and outstanding service. I broke a temporary crown at 6 pm, and I called and left a voice-mail, and Dr. Mola called me at 8 pm on the same day to tell me he'd see me first thing the next morning. I would give them 100 stars if I could.

From the initial scheduling to the visits, his team has been amazing! I had a horrible toothache, and they were able to squeeze me in and take care of me. Dr. Mola is very thorough and thoughtful. I will be a patient until he decides to retire (hopefully not any time soon!)

I just called to make an appointment since I requested one from their website several times without response but the receptionist was so rude I decided to look elsewhere.
However, they called back and apologized for this experience. I was scheduled immediately! Thank you so much!Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Inbal R.San Francisco, CA66628Jul 25, 2022
Okay. So, everyone here is sooooo nice. I drove my colleague over who has legit trauma around going to the dentist and this team came through!!! They let me sit with her, they changed the music station to a genre she liked, they held her hand and made it feel so good and light. Honestly, I was stoked to watch it all go down. She left happy and pain free.
Shout out to Arnetta and Dr. Ali! We appreciate you.Helpful 4Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bebe J.Oakland, CA21071Feb 24, 2023
Best dentist ever. Super friendly staff with a clean office.
I appreciate how caring the dentist and his staff are.
They make my dental trips pleasant to go to!
Wasn't like that in the past at my old dentist.
Definitely recommend select dental.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nicole H.San Francisco, CA0216Sep 10, 2023Updated review
Update - still the best dentist and staff ever! We feel so lucky we found Dr. Mola. Figure out your insurance (we go through Covered CA and not my employer JUST to stay with Dr Mola) and get your family over here!

Both my young kids had their first appointment with Dr. Mola before the ages of 3, and they love going in. My husband hadn't seen a dentist for years when he first visited, and his experience has only been positive. The whole staff and is kind and friendly. Oh and they have been very covid safe (temperature checks, masks, etc.) Highly recommended!
