Reveal Diagnostics

Fast and easy and customer service oriented. I drove in from San Rafael because the place that does these dental images in Marin County charges $ 225 over Reveal’s amount. I was told it was because the other place does images of the whole mouth whether needed or not. It was well worth it to drive in to SF and pay $ 6 toll. Reveal even validates parking which is right around the corner. I got half off the parking fee – $ 7.50 instead of $ 15. It was worth it to make the extra effort to get to SF and go to Reveal.

Came in for an X-​ray of my jaw before mu fufththm thtf wuf thmthhed (translation: my wisdom teeth were removed). Turned up without an appointment, was seen quickly, and the scan was done quickly and easily by a friendly technician.
Good service, happy with the price ($ 95, but I don’t have much to compare that to), and pleased that I didn’t have to book or wait. It could have been 5-​star-​awesome if I got a copy of the X-​ray itself and/​or I was given a better explanation of what was happening /​how it worked, but I’m the curious type so that’s probably just me :)

I’ve have sent several patients to Reveal and am very pleased with the quality of their scans, the promptness of them getting the scans back to me, the courteous staff, especially the owner Marshall Brickeen, and the fair fees for the patients.

I came here after C Dental tried to charge me nearly 400 dollars to get a scan of a single tooth. The single tooth scan I needed was a mere quarter of the price at Reveal Diagnostics. (Note: neither C Dental or Reveal takes insurance, but Reveal makes it easy to get the paperwork you need so you can get your insurance to reimburse you.)
Reveal was able to get me in right away too. My whole visit probably took about fifteen minutes, maybe 20. I showed up, they processed my referral from the oral surgeon, they scanned my jaw, and Darrin (sp?) the friendly x-​ray tech showed me my teeth. He gave me the pictures right away, downloading them into my thumb drive. The pictures went off to my oral surgeon promptly. Nary a hitch in the whole process.
The office is friendly and inviting. The staff are warm and efficient. There seems to be an effort to think about the care and comfort of the patient, to make everything easy. I can’t help contrasting this with C Dental’s staff (brusque, told me nobody else nearby did what they do) and environs (cluttered desks, kinda dumpy). Sorry, C Dental, I think you’ll have to up your game.

I highly recommend Reveal Diagnostic!
It was the most pleasant CT/​lab visit ever! Everyone was very warm and friendly. Before the 14 second scan they explained the procedure to me clearly. And after the scan they again spent a long time with me and showed me the result. That really helped me understand my issue and made me feel comfortable that I was not kept in the dark.
The only downside is that they do not handle insurance, so you will have to pay at the time of visit and then submit the bill to the insurance company for reimbursement.

Later when I visited my endodontist and he told me that my CBCT was taken by a low resolution machine so it’s not very useful :(He recommended some better places for me for the future. It seems I got exposed to radiation with little benefit.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Reveal team, and they’re great! Conveniently located, and their office has a a warm, bright feel (as opposed to cold, dark, and sterile). The team takes their time to make you feel comfortable and understand the process. Overall, a friendly bunch and great experience. I would highly recommend!
