Adults over 35 lose more teeth to gum diseases, (periodontal disease) than from cavities. Three out of four adults are affected at some time in their life. The best way to prevent cavities and periodontal disease is by good tooth brushing and flossing techniques, performed daily. The inside of the mouth is normally lined with a special type of skin (mucosa) that is smooth and coral pink in color. Any alteration in this appearance could be a warning sign for a pathological process. The most serious of these is oral cancer.
You and Wendel Family Dental Centre may determine that you need a tooth removed for any number of reasons. Some teeth are removed because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.

Dr. Natalia garibov was amazing. i'm a nervous patient and her kindness and patience with me was so appreciated. she answered all of my questions, put my concerns to rest, and completed my procedure with minimal pain and in record time. my dental history has only been with one dentist for my entire life before relocating to the west coast, but i'm very happy with her care and trust her with any other future dental needs. Thank you, Dr. Garibov!

I've have nothing but great things to say about my experience here. Everyone has been very friendly and kind. I have extreme dental anxiety and Dr. Ly was very patient and efficient with all the dental care I have received. I am so glad I have come here which is something I never thought I'd feel when it comes to seeing the dentist.

Most comfortable filling I've ever had. Dr. W, Pat and Hannah are very sincere, positive and thoughtful. Paula and the other hygienist I saw there (maybe Shelly?) are so incredibly warm and kind! The front staff are knowledgeable and caring. You can tell everyone really enjoys working there, which is probably the most important quality when it comes to putting my trust in a dental office!

I'm a new patient here at Wendel Family Dental. I found them on Yelp and Google. I'm the type of person who cares deeply about my oral hygiene. I take pride I have good choppers and I want to keep it that way. I had an early appointment and as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly staff. I had my temperature taken and fill out the questionnaire on their computer.
By the way, the office is very clean and spacious! No crowd at all. I was taken care of from start to finish but these fabulous staffs! I was greeted by Sam right away. She's refreshing and made me comfortable right away. Sam was very quick, professional and down to earth. I had eighteen x-rays done which I didn't mind at all. I was very comfortable throughout the process.
Then I met Jenn. She's super down to earth! Very bubbly personality! Omg I knew right away I found my forever dental office! Jenn was like a friend who I haven't seen forever. She made me feel a part of the family right away. She was so gentle working on cleaning my teeth. She complimented me a zillion times on how great my teeth was. Uh huh. She's goofy, sweet and made my first visit something I will never forget.
She ROCKS! My endorphins was up through the roof! Dr. Damien looks over my teeth to make sure everything was ok. I felt really comfortable with everyone. I hit the jackpot on finding the best staff, advance dental care and honest to goodness, a GREAT bunch of professionals! I highly recommend Wendel Dental Centre! I can't wait for my next checkup! Aloha!

All the staff have been wonderful. I'm thankful I found this dentist office when I moved to the area 6 years ago. They are honest, efficient, and caring. It doesn't even matter who I see they have all been awesome. If you are scared of the dentist you should try this place. They will keep you at ease and I bet you'll end up enjoying visiting.

I have been a patient at Wendel for over a decade. My hygienist Jan is wonderful, gentle, and friendly; My dentist Dr. Ganji is excellent. His anesthetic injections are painless, in fact one time I didn't even realize I was receiving anesthetic until over half way through the injection. His treatment is solid and I appreciate his approachable manner, the extra time he spends with me explaining my treatment options, and his personal value of continuing education.
I'm extremely picky about health care providers and this team, including the office staff, is wonderful. They work hard to provide me with quality care and I am confident in their ability. They are particularly good at working with anxious patients like me. I love that they've been a family business for over 40 years. I highly recommend this practice.

Dr Gangi is a wonderful Dentist. I have very sensitive teeth and he does everything he can to make every trip to the dentist comfortable and as relaxing as possible. I just had a permanent crown seated and it feels like it has always been there because he wanted to make sure I didn't have any issues biting down. I highly recommend Wendel Family Dental. He is also one of the many reasons that I have been going to them for 18 years!

Had a crown put in for $1300. It is failing after only 6 yrs. The dentist told me it should last 25 yrs or more. Wendell will not warranty their work. Even their hygienist said I take excelllent care of my teeth. Wendell said because I didn't come in twice a year for checkups, they won't warranty. I would look elsewhere for dental work.

I had a implant post put in, but my body rejected the post. What was odd the dentist had everyone watch my procedure as a learning tool. When I returned to the office with the post that I pulled out of my mouth, the staff was more interested in getting the post back to analyze it instead of my well being. After 3 years I still have numbness in my jaw where the post was implanted.

I got my braces done at Wendel Dental about 6 years ago and since then I've noticed my teeth moving even though I wear my retainer every night. Well, I went into another orthodontist to see if they could fix it and turns out Wendel made my clear retainer out of bleaching tray material instead of real retainer material. So now I have to pay a REAL orthodontist several hundred dollars to fix Wendel's shoddy work. Thanks Wendel.not.

They took good care of me while I was there. The check in was quite easy since it's all electronic. The techs are all very friendly and voice what they are doing as it's being done. I think it helps people feel a little more at ease while visiting the dentist. I've only met one dentist but he was very friendly too. I've met other dentists who walk in, exam you and say "brush more" and walk out. What? That's not customer service at all. Thankfully that doesn't happen here and I will be back :

They got me in for a rush appointment in one day, to fix some old fillings and add a couple of new ones. The dentist and assistant were wonderful, they listened to what I had to say about possibly needing extra Novocaine, and asked repeatedly throughout the entire procedure if I was still doing alright. I would be happy to go back, when I have insurance again.
