Colpitts Robert J, DDS

I have been going to Dr Colpitts dental office for over 10 years and am continual impressed by the level of professionalism, care and they always have the most up to date technology. I have never been a great fan of going to the dentist but the pain management techniques and caring staff have totally taken the fear out of my visits. Although I would still rather be skiing or paddleboarding. One thing that always impresses me is the staff continually communicate with you about what they are doing and where they are up to in the procedure, instead of having personal conversations like you are not there. Verge my dental hygienist is great; quick, careful and great at distracting me. The quality of their work is fantastic, every filling I have perfectly matches my teeth and they blend in. Yesterday I had the new dentist Dr. Jacqueline Delaney and she fits into the surgery perfecty, professional, caring and really good at her job. I could not recommend this office more highly.

There are few dentists that I have come across in my life that are as dedicated to the care they provide as Bob Colpitts DDS!
He is caring, careful, skilled & continually keeps up in his field with continuing education. His staff are courteous & great, his office welcoming, and his equipment new & state of the art. He even arranged to see a friend on short notice & got that person in quickly for a cracked tooth. He goes above & beyond in all he does and I recommend him highly.

I recently had a huge filling that had crumbled and my tooth was sore. I needed a crown and I was super worried. We are living in Truckee most of the time although my regular dentist is in the bay area. Dr. Colpitts was very caring, spent time explaining what was happening and is quite current about what is new and best. He was very concerned that i did not have pain. I think I am going to switch to Sierra Crest Dental for my main dental office.

You will not find anywhere on the planet a better, nicer, smarter, or more professional dentist and staff. Dr. Colpitts is a perfectionist — which is what you want in a dentist. He is brilliant and truly cares about his patients, their needs and their opinions. He is always learning new things and staying up on the latest technology. You will know within minutes of meeting him — he is the best of all dentists. I have gone to dentists in big cities, medium sized cities and small towns, and no one has ever compared to this man. His staff is also the very best. Every time I have a new staff person for any reason I keep wondering how I could ever have a favorite. They are all amazing and the top in their field as Dr. Colpitts is the type who would never settle for anything less. I have lived in Truckee a long time and know all too well you often sacrifice getting the best in a certain field living in such a small town. However, Dr. Colpitts and his entire office are the absolute crème de la crème in dentistry! I can’t imagine why anyone would go anywhere else and feel beyond blessed to have found this wonderful man, his office manager wife and every single staff in the office. You cannot get any better care than you will get from these wonderful people!

Sierra Crest Dental is as good as it gets. Our family has been going to Dr. Colpitts for al long as he has been in Truckee (20 years maybe?) Recently I had an inflamed tooth bleeding quite a bit, and they got me right in and cleaned up the pocket at the base of the tooth and gum with laser treatment, and checked the tooth out to make sure all was ok. I am good as new and not worried about my tooth anymore. Highly recommend this dental office!

Dr. Colpitts is the Cadillac of Dentists — the Bentley, the Tesla — simply the best ever. Scrupulous care provided with the gentlest manner. Everyone in the office is extraordinary. I had terrible experiences with other dentists, and required extensive work. I now have no fear of dentists! And my smile is 100% improved! If you want the best, go to Dr. Colpitts.

Dr Colpitts and staff are the most professional dentistry I’ve ever been to. We’ve been going here for a few years now and my teeth have honestly never been healthier. For cleanings Virg is the most gentle hygienist I’ve ever had, and I’m a big pansy when it comes to my teeth. Try then out, they do exceptional work

I had not seen a dentist for a couple of years so when dental was added to my insurance I called Sierra Crest Dental. I asked them on the phone if they would accept my insurance (giving them the name) they said «Yes». (I get one free cleaning and X Rays per year through the insurance) They told me that I would have to pay for the cleaning upfront and then the insurance would send me a check.
After the cleaning and X Rays they told me I needed 5 fillings and also recommended I see an orthodontist, before the fillings, for a different issue.
A month after the first apt I received a check from the insurance company for ½ of the apt costs. The insurance told me that Sierra Crest does not take my insurance and it was out of network.
I then cancelled all of the following apts.
I went down to Reno today and the dentist there told me I only need two fillings and was very confused why they sent me to an orthodontist. Because the other issue could be fixed by a dentist.
Unfortunately, overall very bad experience.

My name is Gary Spohr, my family and i have been dental patients of Dr. Colpitts since moving to Lake Tahoe in 2000. I lived in the Bay Area prior to moving to Lake Tahoe and over the years had numerous experiences with dentists.
Without questions Dr. Colpitts is the most qualified dentist i have ever experienced. He and his staff go out of there way to make sure you are comfortable, you fully understand the procedures and work that needs to be done.
I had a recent experience where a tooth cracked and the pain was unbearable. Dr. Colpitts got me in on a rush basis and then arranged for an immediate root canal on a Friday afternoon, no easy feat.
I highly recommend Dr. Colpitts and his amazing staff.

Honestly I can’t imagine a more pleasant dental experience. Dr Colpitts sets the standard for perfection in dentistry. His staff is top notch and always super friendly. He keeps his methods and technics up to the latest standards. I’ve had quite a bit of work done at Sierra Crest Dental and its always painless and done well. I actualy look forward to my visits!

Before I went to Dr. Colpitts, I had not been to the dentist in over three years due to a bad experience I had at the dentist previously. Sierra Crest went above and beyond my expectations to show me what a trip to the dentist should be like. They took extra special care of me and made sure I got my money’s worth from the visit (I do not have dental insurance so I was paying out of pocket). On that note, they were also the cheapest of all the places I called and I am so glad I made the decision to see them. I would highly recommend this visit to anyone!

I recommend Dr. Colpitts highly. He knows his stuff very well and will tell you at every step what he is doing and why. The hygienists and assistants and other staff are super nice and everyone is very professional. The technology seems to be the latest, the office is nice, and he’s got lake photos for tiles on the ceiling for you to look at when you are getting drilled! Love this place.

In my opinion, this is the best dental office I have ever experienced – Dr. Colpitts is kind and attentive, the office staff is always pleasant, and the hygienists are gentle. You really feel that they genuinely care about your experience. I was there yesterday for a cleaning and as I was waiting in the office (free wifi) a new patient, also waiting, was personally greeted in the lobby by Dr Colpitts and and a Hygienist. When does that happen at a doctor’s office?
I really appreciate that the doctor takes time with me out of the dental chair to address concerns and treatment options. I have had a few issues over the years and I am happy to share with you that he gives LOTS of pain meds – so you won’t ever feel a thing. Actually he has an unusual technique and I don’t even feel the initial shots…
I’m a real baby about the dentist and dread having my teeth scraped and poked… however, I always feel safe and comfortable at this office.
I also want to share that Dr. Colpitts has always been at the forefront of using the latest technology in his office – and that even includes text reminders sent to my phone – which I really need! Thanks Dr. Colpitts. I’ m very happy that you are here in Truckee for us!

Sierra Crest Dental in Truckee is wonderful. I can’t recommend the office or Dr Colpitts strongly enough. Very professional staff. Never keep me waiting. Top end equipment — everything online — love them!

Dr. Colpitts is the best dentist I have ever visited. The quality of his work is outstanding and the car he takes in making sure you understand all he is doing. He takes special care in making sure you do not experience any pain or discomfort. After growing up with English dentistry, I was terrified of going to the dentist. Dr. Colpitts helped me get over my fears and now I have no problem in going for a teeth cleaning or having any dental work done. In my opinion Dr. Colpitts is the best dentist in the country.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Colpitts for since 1995 and by far his work, care, and skill is better that all the dentist that I have seen put together. His staff is friendly and seem to really love their work.
He has a pain free (he really mean it). I hate dentists normally, but Colpitts is actually a pleasure to see. He will get me as numb as I need to be to be comfortable. And his work is superior to all work that I have done before.
I highly recommend him. Not only is he a great dentist, he’s a darn nice guy.
