Desk staff, Dr Sanchez, dental assistants are so calm, reassuring, and kind. All procedures were explained in detail. I had no pain during bone grafts& tooth extraction. Great providers of dental/gum care. At 6 week follow up my problems were resolved& I was all SMILES

Dr. Sanchez performed LANAP surgery on me in January. My pocket measurements were so much better at my appointment this month! I had tried everything to improve things on my own, but it seemed like nothing was working. I'm so glad I had it done. It has motivated me to work even harder at my daily routine, so as not to undo all of everyone's hard work. I would highly recommend Dr. Sanchez, and his team is great too!

I recently had a gum graft done at Periowest. I had read horror stories online about this procedure, but my experience was the opposite. There was no pain during the procedure or recovery and the recovery was quick. Happy with the result and the work done. Just be aware that the procedure is expensive!

Dr. Sanchez and staff are the best. I felt like they were on my team in dealing with my periodontal disease. Now, one year into treatment, I no longer feel shame or guilt about my teeth!

I went to Dr. Sanchez with 4 loose teeth and very high numbers on my gums, I had two bone grafts and the laser treatment, now 10 months later my teeth have tightened up and my gum numbers are the lowest they have been in many years!! I am so happy with the outcome! The staff there is amazing, make you feel so comfortable, coming from someone who is scared to death of dental work, I highly recommend him!!

My experience with Dr. Sanchez and his team has been excellent. They’re consistently responsive, make you a priority, and go above and beyond to ensure you’re comfortable and well-informed throughout the entire process. It’s clear they genuinely care about their patients and are deeply committed to providing high-quality care!

Dr Sanchez is awesome! Prior to moving to PerioWest, I have been a patient in a big multi-branch dental clinic. The difference is night and day, and I am glad I moved. The big clinics don’t give you the personal attention that would getnin PerioWest. Dr Sanchez suggested a process that saved my molars, instead of the other clinic’s suggestion of removing and replacing with implants. I am glad that I made the switch, and will be staying with PerioWest for the foreseeable future.

Dr. Sanchez delivered truly exceptional results. My procedure went smoothly, and the improvements to my oral health and overall comfort were immediate and noticeable. Healing was faster than I expected, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Dr. Sanchez and his team were clear and helpful throughout the process. I strongly recommend them!
