Dental Concepts and Orthodontics

My teeth look much better now. I’m very happy from smiling again. I love that they don’t have to take impressions anymore to make a night guard !!! Dr Pepper is incredible. First dentist ever that didn’t hurt me giving me numbing shots. He’s so friendly and kind that he calms you down with his presence. I’m so glad he ended up as my dentist. I’m truly happy going to see the dentist for the first time ever. Thank you Dr Pepper and Carol too as always it’s good to see you two!!!

Dr. Doctor was super professional and thorough with his diagnostics. He was easy to talk to. His team provided excellent customer service. Once called to the back, the Doc was ready to see me. I didnt go from one waiting room to another. Great job!

My family has been using this dental office over many years. Recently, I had an accident over a weekend and lost one of my front teeth. I went in early Monday morning (without an appointment) to see if they would be able to help. Dr Zernicke and his assistant Lea were amazing. They addressed my situation with understanding and care.

I have been going to Dental Concepts and Orthodontics for about 20 years. They are located in Salinas and I live in Santa Cruz. The excellent comprehensive care I receive from Dr. Zernicke and his team keeps me returning year after year despite the distance. I especially like that all the dental specialties are in one practice. This greatly simplifies scheduling, billing, and care coordination. If you live anywhere near Salinas California go to Dental Concepts for all of your dental care.

The front office staff were professional, and the dental assistant was great! The dentist was so so. He seem to have a problem speaking to me directly as if I wasn’t in the room & he spoke mainly to the assistant. Until I spoke up & asked him can you spell out what the plan is

I had a great experience at Dental Concepts. I went in for a cleaning, and the hygienist was really nice and did an excellent job. She was gentle, thorough, and took the time to give me helpful advice, especially about using a water pick to improve my oral care at home. I really appreciated how informative and friendly she was. Highly recommend!

Dr Pepper explained things in detail. I’m happy to be back at Dental Concepts. Thank you Carol for getting me in and all the help you have given me over the years I appreciate you. To Anna at the desk and Anna my dental hygienist I can’t wait to see you again my friends. It’s a great group and I have missed them. Best dental group around. Thank you all as this Woman is afraid of dentist so I’m at the right place
