I have been a patient of Dr. Bandala's for about 8 years now. He is absolutely the best dentist out there. I recommend him to everyone at my workplace (since we all have the same dental insurance) and everyone comes back saying he was the best! Every little dental related thing I have had to do over the years has been thoroughly explained to me. I literally feel like I am treated like family. They just hired a new hygienist (Kyoto) who is an absolute gem. I truly could not recommend anyone more highly.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bandala for over 30 years and my teeth are in great shape because of his diagnostic skill and precision dental work. He definitely takes pride in his work and his friendly personality is very supportive. I would highly recommend Dr. Bandala if you are looking for a fine Dentist!

Dr. Bandala is the BEST dentist I've ever been seen by! I've only had one appointment, so far, but him and his entire staff made it a very pleasant experience. If you have dental anxiety (as I do) I think you will be pleased. By some of the other comments it seems he has lots of long time patients, Had I discovered him sooner, I would have been one also! Thank you to Dr. Bandala, Tracy and Gigi. Stay safe!

Somehow my previous review was removed. So let me repeat it. Please read this entire review so that you do not make a terrible mistake by going to Dr. Jose Bandala. I went to him for replacement of an old crown on a front tooth. Dr. Bandala suggested that I have the other front tooth that was perfectly healthy replaced with a crown too, He said that was the only way the teeth would match.
I followed his advice. When I went in to receive the crowns and have them permanently cemented, the color was Florescent white. My teeth are a natural shade of ivory and the bright white was unnatural. The dental assistant told me when Dr. Bandala was not present that the color of the crowns looked fake. So, I asked if he could tone the color down a bit.
He agreed and I went in the following week for placement. When I got home, over the next few days, I noticed the color was a little gray. But nobody said anything about it so I thought that it was just me. Over time I started brushing my teeth more frequently and harder. I tried whitening toothpaste. Several months later the tooth root broke on the front tooth that had the original crown placed.
I returned to Dr. Bandala. He informed me that I needed an implant and that I needed to place a new crown on the opposite front tooth and one on the healthy tooth to the other side of the needed implant. He said that the implant may change the gum line so it had to be done. I had spent over $2000. only a year before for the crowns on the 2 front teeth and I could not afford to have an implant and 3 new crowns done. So, I agree to the implant and the tooth to the side to be crowned because Dr. Bandala insisted that it had to be done.
When I went to receive the crowns for placement, again the color was Florescent white. They did not look good. Even members of his staff told me they " glowed". I asked if he could tone down the color, He agreed and I returned the next week for placement. This time, the color was still off, neither crown matched my other teeth, nor did they match the existing crown on the front tooth that he had placed less than a year earlier.
I asked if he could redo the color again because I wasn't happy with the results. He refused, His dental assistant told me in private that at least the revised color didn't glow and was less likely to be noticed. I felt pressured. I had spent 4 months with temporary crowns on front teeth while allowing the implant site to heal. The temporary crowns were awkward and thick and The thickness caused me to talks with a lisp.
I do not normally have a lisp. It was embarrassing and I was so tired of feeling self conscious. I did not feel that I had any choice but to accept the crowns, Dr. Bandala quickly cemented them in place and had a member of the staff shove a form in front of my face for my signature, I signed it because I felt pressured to do so. It was an agreement that I would not take him to court in case of a dispute.
When I got home and really looked at the crowns, the implant crown had a slightly green cast. This caused the opposite front crown to appear slightly gray. Dr. Bandala had tried to tone the brightness down apparently by having blue and grey added to the color. His experiment with color failed. The side crown was even a different shade. I was horrified and returned to him just a couple days later.
I told him that I was extremely unhappy with the color and asked him to redo the work. He refused unless I paid full price. I had just spent about $7000. out of pocket for the new work. I could not afford to pay all over again. He refused to admit his mistake. He got his money from me paid up front, plus thousands more from my insurance company on top of that, Dr. Bandala made a fortune.
Keep in mind that I had gone to him initially to have one older crown replaced and ended up having 3 perfectly healthy teeth removed at his insistence. 3 freaking crowns in the front of my mouth and all 3 a freaking different color. My life has been changed drastically. I am now so embarrassed of my teeth. I can't afford to have the work corrected.
My Insurance will not cover any portion of having it redone it because it would be strictly cosmetic. I am ashamed to smile and it's now been several years and I still can not afford to have it redone. Dr. Bandala is incompetent with color match for a simple crown. Don't make a mistake. I strongly warn you to find a more competent dentist and one that guarantees his work,

Our family has been coming to Dr. Bandala for about 20 years now. From tmj issues to implants and everything in between he has rescued our whole family. We highly recommend him and his staff. He is like family to us now and although we are moving out of state we will come back for our dental health.

My husband and I found Dr. Bandala about 20 years ago and have been so blessed to have him for our dentist. He is just a wonderful caring man and will always do his very best for you. You can count on his perfection. His staff are great too! They are very welcoming, caring and warm ladies and we love them all. So if you need a great dentist don't waste your time looking around. He is the one for you. Just put yourself in his hands and you will never regret it.

My family has been going to Dr. Bandala for almost 20 years. I will not go to anyone else. He is the nicest person. He is so detailed and thorough in his work. He treats you like family as does his staff. All very friendly and helpful. He has cured many major dental issues with the whole family and will forever be grateful. Highly recommended.

Dr Jose L. Bandala, DDS 1620 Lead Hill Boulevard Roseville, Ca Dear Dr. Bandala: I wanted to thank you for all the wonderful care that you have given me, this week and in the past 6 years. I have always been treated with compassion, respect and professionalism by this dentist and his staff. You have replaced teeth, cleaned teeth, drilled teeth and pretty much had to put up with my whining and complaining.
Through an unfortunate event in January I had a gate knock out my front tooth. I ended up so happy with my new front teeth. They are now white and perfect. You patiently listened to me and mentored me all the way. I love you and your staff. Gigi is a treasure as is Kathy and Hillary. I strongly recommend Jose L. Bandala, DDS to anyone looking for a doctor who cares about his patients and will go the extra mile to make them happy

I grew up in the East Bay Area and had dentists in Pinole, El Cerrito and Oakland, but I can confidently say Dr. Bandala is probably the best most well-rounded dentist I have ever had. I have been to his office about 4 times already and I can truly say he is genuine and cares about his patients. I had my top 2 wisdom teeth removed, as well as a filling.
I went in later in the week because I felt pain on one of the surgical sides, and he did not hesitate to see me during my lunch on same day notice. The least I could do was take a few minutes and write great review.

Dr. Bandala was very nice. His office manager Amanda is incompetent. Everyone who works with TMJ cases (as their office does) knows that it is often characterized as a medical condition, meaning that it needs to be covered by medical NOT dental insurance. Even though it is her job to do billing/insurance claims, she could not and has not been able to submit the bill to my medical insurance properly (instead submitting it as a dental charge) and thus, my insurance company keeps denying it as I don't have dental coverage through them.
After two rounds with her and a YEAR and a half later, I received a bill today for the full amount of the service. According to my insurance company, she still didn't submit it properly despite them sending her detailed instructions. Completely ridiculous. Do not go there unless you are paying out of pocket. It's not worth the billing mess.

I advise everyone to not ever come here! I had a horrible experience here, sadly the dentist DDS Bandala was actually really kind and helpful. But his billing staff and receptionist were HORRIBLE, I hate to write negative reviews. But the fact is I wouldn't want anyone to go through the same experience as I did. My first visit was actually quite nice and I wasn't so nervous after sitting down and talking to my dentist.
But my second visit everything went downhill. I was getting charged with all these hidden fees and worse of all after one of my procedures. I wasn't aware or told there was going to be an outstanding balance in which my insurance did not cover.! I came out ready to go home and rest but was stopped on the way out; Saying I had to pay $120 dollars; I was so tired and felt really drowsy from the anesthesia.
At the time, I was in no position to confront the hidden fees. So I just paid the amount I was told, and the next day I received another call stating I still owed money this time $250 dollars. I was so angry, let me just say I have Delta Premier PPO benefits and I have the 80/20 plan. Sadly this should have never happened.
