Dentistry encompasses array of services and procedures with a common goal: to help you to preserve your natural teeth, ensure your oral health, and keep you looking and feeling great. Whitening procedures have effectively restored the smile of people with stained, dull, or discolored teeth. Before development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth.

This place is awesome. they take most PPO insurance. their staff is very friendly. i called on a friday afternoon and was able to get a saturday appointment. they're very thorough with explaining the current state of oral hygiene and whats needed to get back to healthy teeth. Pam is amazing. i'm very impressed with the care & communication provided by Rancho Dental Practice. this will definitely be my dentist for a long time. right away they were able to make me confident in smiling again. i cannot wait for my follow up appointments and to build up my dental history with this office. i'm beyond satisfied! if there's any way to ask for Pam, i suggest you do so!

Had a tooth problem, have recently moved and literally found this Dentist online. Left a message and the Dentist herself called back. Got me in promptly. She did a great job, was friendly, comprehensive and the staff's interaction was comfortable and confident. The interaction was calm and stress free. Highly recommended this dental practice. Already been back for cleaning and extensive exam. Scheduled same for Hubby.

From the very moment I reached out to the office of Rancho Dental Practice, I have been impressed. Super friendly front desk team; helpful & efficient Candy doing my xrays; thorough deep cleaning by Christina and a super impressive Dr. Elvira Arranz! I love the way the Dr. Elvira examined each xray even before looking in my mouth, identifying every kind of dental work I have had in the past.
When I left the office, I immediately called my friend who asked me to let her know how it went. I gave such a detailed, glowing account, she is booking her appointment next! Thank you Rancho Dental Practice ~ you ROCK! Lisa

Staffs are awesome, from the dentist to the staffs. They're welcoming and friendly. The hygienist I had for the first time did a great job! Dr Arranz is very caring and thorough. I always feel like I am in good hands. Great place to take care of your teeth. I have been coming here for awhile now, but I wish I went to them sooner. Highly recommended. Thank you everyone!

I was helped immediately by the receptionist at my appointed time. The hygienist was great! She was friendly gentle and thorough. The dentist Dr. Arranz was very professional introduced herself and welcomed me to her office. I thought she was very good. She was thorough, professional and helpful. I am very pleased and am glad I found a good dentist plus she's close to home.

An excellent experience from start to finish. Was able to be seen the same day I called with a tooth problem. I was in a chair soon after arrival. I got xrays and a cleaning, which went without a hitch. The technician was professional, polite and pleasant. She also checked my comfort level constantly. Dr. Arrantz determined the tooth could not be saved and provided a referral. I would highly recommend Rancho Dental as I have been a patient for many years.

Dr Arrantz is very thorough and do care about your dental health and as a person. She'll let you know the benefits of every treatment needed to be done and takes her time explaining how it will be done. She provides you with options and alternative intervention that will work best for you to keep your teeth and gums healthy. She's awesome!

Dr. Arrantz is specific and particular. She is someone I trust. I've been seeing her for a few years now and I appreciate how confident and caring she is. Her staff is solid and always helpful should I have questions. You can just tell this place is professional by how you are treated. I highly recommend Rancho Dental.

Dishonest and unethical! Do not go to this dentist! My daughter saw her when she took over for Doctor Duncan in the Shadowridge area. Doctor Arranz would not let my ex go back into the exam room with our daughter. She then said my daughter had five cavities, but would not show the x-rays to my ex and said to come back and have all of them filled. My daughter was FREAKED OUT.
I was sure my daughter had a cavity or two, but since five sounded high to me, I got a second opinion. I then took her to a highly recommended dentist, who said that my daughter had two cavities that needed filling and one that could be monitored to see if it fell out before it got worse. His exact words were, "How that other dentist got five floors me." I also had an appointment with Dr Duncan on the calendar and Doctor Arranz's staff called to tell me that they needed to postpone it while they remodeled during the transition.
This was inconvenient because I am in braces and am supposed to go more often, and was overdue for a cleaning already. But I rescheduled for after the remodel; however, when I came in, there was no evidence of a remodel whatsoever. A small notable decor difference was the addition of a cheesy old-timey statuette of a child with a toothache and a dentist with a sympathetic face who is hiding a pair of pliers behind his back.
I have had one cavity in my entire life but I was not surprised that Doctor Arranz found one in me too, and said I needed it filled. Turns out it is just a stain. Needless to say, I canceled all future appointments for my family with Doctor Arranz.

I am very skeptical when it comes to going to the "right" dentist. But the docs here at Rancho dental are 5 stars! The whole staff is always so nice, the waiting time is on point and they have a tv for you when you're getting a cleaning etc. Plus they do not scan you when it comes to charges. Give them a try!
