William Moore,DDS

Love this place. The doctors are honest & awesome.
They don’t try & dell you anything, they do what they have to get you right & that’s it.
That short hair receptionist is a b****, but she comes with the place I guess, so be it.

Our whole family has been going to Dr. Moore for more than 30 years. That is how good he is. Both my husband and I had had dreadful experiences with dentists throughout our lives and were told to «try Willie» when we moved to Berkeley. He is professional, amiable, not pushy or authoritarian. He explains why you need a certain kind of work done and what it entails. He has redone some of the bad work left by others, and it is much improved.
Over the years, there have been occasional emergencies, and his office always has been able to fit us in the next day, even on a Saturday. He takes the time to explain good oral care to children (our son went to him, too).
Dr. Moore takes pain management seriously, and gives pain-​free injections of Novocaine (believe it; it is true). He makes certain your mouth is adequately anesthetized so that you don’t have pain during any procedure. I have «sensitive teeth,» and he has taken this into account when working on my mouth. He no longer offers gas for routine procedures, due to health concerns, but he may still have it available, if you are facing a prolonged procedure or suffer from dental fear.
If work is required that is beyond his scope, he has a list of specialists to refer you to who also do stellar work.

Dr. Moore is extremely ethical, skilled and very friendly. He is happy to answer all of my questions. I have a tooth that chipped in two or three different places over the years. Plus the tooth has a big filling. I got patches put on where it chipped and they lasted about five years. When one of them fell off, Willie took off the other patches, removed the filling and rebuilt the tooth. It’s fantastic and pretty inexpensive. No other dentist would have done this. They all would have made me get a crown– and I really don’t want a crown.

This review is NOT based on Dr. Moore but his office receptionist. I am sorry Dr. Moore to post here. We heard you are awesome which is why I called your office!
I recently called to get some information about Dr. Moore because we were considering him as a dentist. His receptionist, after answering a few questions, flat out told me she couldn’t and wouldn’t answer all my questions because she didn’t have time. I was simply asking basic fee questions and general info. This is pretty disconcerting because it really speaks to patient care. Dr. Moore just lost 3 potential new clients.

The universe shined upon me the day my friend told me to go see Dr. Moore aka Willie.
Like most of us, I have been distrustful and paranoid about dentists over the years. I have the horror story of going to the discount coupon dentist and told I have 3 cavities, (I could not afford to get them fixed at the time) only to find out by another dentist 1 year later that I don’t have any cavities.
Dr. Moore is a true healer and he will do everything he can to save a tooth. If you need work done he will be completely honest and spend all the time you need in explaining what needs to happen and why.
His office staff and hygienists (I recommend Bob) have always been caring and wonderful. I can’t say enough good things.

I just want to say that Dr. Moore is an awesome dentist! I was never a fan of going to the dentist and I think this was based on the fact that I never found a good dentist who was personable. After every dental visit I would always say ‘I am not going back to that guy’.
One visit to Dr Moore changed all that. To start, his office was ultra clean and nice. After my cleaning and initial exam he clearly laid out exactly what work needed to be done and why. He took the time to explain each procedure before it was started and asked if I had any questions along the way. After the procedure I was given his phone number in case of any problems over the weekend.
I always said that in order to be a successful dentist you need to be a people person and actually care about the patient. Dr Moore fit the bill there. For the first few minutes of each visit we would chat about how my teeth were doing and other things to relax me for the work he was about to do.
I would highly recommend Dr Moore to anyone in the Albany CA who needs a dentist. Big ups to Dr Moore and his staff!

Wiliie has been my dentist for 27 years now. At one point, my insurance would not cover him (group plan) but even after the deductible, he was less expensive and higher quality than the insurance goon. Go figure, I just went back to Willie.
Very VERY good!

Dr. Moore is my family’s dentist and is just a few blocks from home. It’s a total neighborhood establishment and is very home-​like feel inside (but the patient rooms are still clean and like a typical dentist’s office). I usually don’t see him because of my crazy school and work schedule so I see Nancy or Noni, two dental hygienists at his practice, regularly. They’re both very nice and gentle and always ask me how my family is, and they always load me up with free goodie bags after my checkup. I seriously will never have to buy a toothbrush, paste, floss or stimudents for traveling ever again.
Please be mindful, the have a sign at the door that nicely asks that clients do not wear perfumes/​fragrances to their office.

William Moore is the best dentist I or anyone else in my family has ever had. A friend of mine who went to Dr. Moore on my recommendation and become a regular patient once called him a «genius,» and I fully agree.

Sorry to read about one patient’s bad experience, but all of my family has been seeing Willie for decades and he has consistently done a great job looking after all of our teeth. He has been thorough and excellent in all the work we have had done. We give him top marks

Have to agree with jj, my wife swears by Willie Moore and in the few years I’ve been going to see him he has been helpful, caring and an all round decent fella. I came to him with teeth that had been under the supervision (I hate to use the word ‘care’ in this case) of the English NHS and he has fixed them up and put me on the right track.
