Alexander Kristi, DDS

Dr. Alexander is pleasant and knowledgeable in her field. I have had a good experience with her as my dentist.
Sheila, Dr. Alexander’s dental assistant, is outstanding at what she does. She is VERY thorough with teeth cleaning and is great at explaining things. She takes great pride in her work.

I will be updating this review as my treatment progresses over the next (I assume) about a month.
So a bit of background first. I’ve previously experienced laser dentistry, however it was out of pocket and I had some help from family at the time (charge would have been the same regardless of the laser). Ever since, I’ve wanted to have that same experience again (no shots no whiiiiiiiine of the drill). Fast forward a few years and I’m back in Sacramento and need a new dentist. Once I acquire insurance that will allow me to see anyone I want, I go looking for a laser dentist in the Sacramento area. I come across Dr. Alexander’s website and everything I read just sounds like what I’m looking for so I make the appointment.
I had my first appointment today 2−8−11 which consisted of the standard x-​rays and checking out the teeth for cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. Dr. Alexander was completely amazing. Every question answered and I really felt at ease the whole time. Her answers made sense and I really felt like I was being taken care of as an individual as compared to the last dentist I had to see when I was stuck on my employer’s HMO dental plan for the last two years. Combining Dr. Alexander’s «bedside manner» (as it applies to a dentist) along with the laser technology which I’ve been seeking ever since I first experienced it I’m actually going to look forward to going to the dentist even if I DO end up having to have something filled or some other procedure that might normally be dreaded.
EDIT 2−24−11: Had my cleaning today. It’s honestly hard to compare «gentleness» and comfortability levels to my previous ones because I’ve needed deep cleanings in the past and didn’t today. However I was definitely impressed by being taught what now seems like some basic stuff by my hygienist that I had no idea about before from any other trip to the dentist chair. The cleaning itself was very thorough and I’m definitely happy with it.
EDIT 3−9−11: Had the rest of my treatment a few days ago, a few fillings in 3 different areas of my mouth. Definitely a much nicer experience than the usual due to the Waterlase «drilling». (Usually 3 areas is att least two visits because they don’t like to numb both sides) I had to have one tooth numbed because of where the cavity was at, and even that was not bad at all. Nothing on the rest of the mouth because the Waterlase is able to do it with no pain in most cases. I barely felt anything from the needle though I’m not sure if that’s just because of where it was at. The fillings matched my teeth exactly and I can’t even tell there is anything there unless I really look very close. Again, definitely recommend Dr. Alexander to anyone looking for a dentist.
