Teresa Deguzman, DDS

I love this place. Never ever have I liked the dentist. This is a great office and staff. :)

How is it that I’ve been coming here for 6 years now and have yet to write a review? Shame on me!
My boys and I have been seeing Dr D for over 6 years as I shamefully admitted up above. Over the last 6 years she and her staff have really become like extended family for us. I adore her staff! They have really taken the time to get to know us and everytime I go in they ask about my boys and how school is going. They are all so personable and they remember things I’ve told them months prior. That’s impressive since I can’t even remember what I ate for dinner 2 days ago.
Dr Ds new office location off Sunrise is beautiful. They did a move I want to say a year ago. Moved one office up and remodeled the entire place. Seriously gorgeous. They put in a crystal light fixture in the waiting room area that my youngest son loves to try and touch. Bright sparkled and shiny how could he not.
The waiting area has plenty of seating, a computer for adults or kids to play on, a TV, magazines, water, coffee, and tons of pretty shiny things to look at. The wait is never all that long and we are always greeted with happy welcoming smiles from her front desk staff.
Each of the little dental rooms has a fairly large monitor in front of the comfy dental chair where you can review x-​rays wt the Dr and see your records. X-​rays are performed in the comfort of your chair so there is no getting up to switch rooms unless you need a panoramic.
Their restroom is always clean and well stocked and the overall office is very clean. Honestly the place doesn’t at all feel like a dental office but rather a high end day spa. Dental appointments haven’t always been my fav but I can say I’ve never had a bad experience wt Dr D or her staff. Dr D is very honest upfront and to the point. She doesn’t sugar coat things and I appreciate that. I could go on & on about her & her wonderful staff. They are an amazing, caring, and wonderful team. I feel very blessed to have found them.

Came here for the Zoom whitening. Such a great value! My teeth went from yellow to Ross Gellar white. The procedure itself was a little painful but totally worth it. Would do again.
Side note: I don’t recommend using the Maps app on your phone to find this place. Took me to a random neighborhood a few miles away. Even though I was totally lost and late, the girl working the front desk was super helpful with helping me find their office.

A friend told me they were having a deal on their ZOOM whitening procedure for $ 99 (and later was told they are switching to a laser treatment). Since it was my first time and I’m not a regular patient, I had to take time to fill out patient paperwork. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The hygienist that helped me explained the procedure and found my starting tooth color. I was given eye protection/​shade, headphones, a neck pillow, and a bell in case I needed his attention. The procedure went smoothly with the hygienist checking in often and even the doctor dropped in to say «hi.» Overall, I’m very satisfied with the procedure and my experience here.

I’ve been visiting Dr DeGuzman for a couple years now and they have been great! I have actually been to three of their locations and the service is consistent at every office I visit. The team they have built is world class! I can’t wait for the next visit!

They have great office staff but the dentists are continually trying to sell more dentistry. My son had braces and had beautiful teeth. This office submitted plans to my insurance provider for invisalign braces for him! When I called to find out why they did this without my knowledge, they did not have a reason that made any sense. You will also wait 20 – 60 minutes quite regularly.

I don’t understand why there are negative reviews here, I have been going to mytoothspa and seeing Dr. Deguzman since I was in high school,
The staff are easy to work with and Dr. Deguzman is the best dentist I have ever seen. She moves around from her 3 different locations but she is definitely a caring dentist.
I couldn’t afford getting my fillings done so she worked a very easy payment plan for me since my insurance did not cover everything.
This office has a computer with Internet access, free coffee, different magazines to choose from, and of course the best dental work you’ll ever need

This review has been forthcoming for a while now — finally got around to it. Okay, so I was looking for a new dentist and this one popped up on my provider list and it wasn’t too far. The clincher for me was the FREE WHITENING KIT when you become a new patient.
I should have read the fine print, I wouldn’t be getting a kit until I underwent all the procedures that they thought I needed! Turns out I «needed» a number of crowns, fillings, amongst other things. I couldn’t afford it. In fact, I was given this news after I heard my husband lost his job and things were really tight. I shed silent tears in the chair when I was given the $ 1,600 estimate. Wow. Thankfully now we are both gainfully employed, but at the time, the last thing I needed was this news. I didn’t end up getting all the «necessary» work because I couldn’t afford it at the time.
So there goes my whitening kit and I’d have rotten teeth. I had my daughter come here as well. New customer right? I asked if I could still have my kit (I was desperate for some whiter teeth) and I was told «no.»
Although the business is listed as Dr. Deguzman, there are actually a group of dentists that work here. You don’t always get the same dentist. It is good to find out when your favorite one is working here. The actual Dr. Deguzman never saw me.
I had one dentist that was extremely unprofessional. She always called me «Jennifer» because I looked like someone she knew named Jennifer and she thought it was hilarious. This happened on three separate visits. Also one time her cell phone was ringing in her pocket which happened to be right in my ear when I was reclined. It was annoying. She was the one who said I had decay «everywhere» in my mouth.
The extra star is for the hygienist who was very nice and did a fantastic job. Otherwise, I’d avoid this place. I did not have a good experience here! I also learned my lesson about getting «free» teeth whitening kits — bottom line, just buy some Crest Whitening Strips or something. In the end, that’s what I had to do!

I have been with this Dental practice for several years. Originally I went because they were open on a Saturday and I had an emergency tooth ache. The dentist I saw was Callia Not Teresa DeGuzman. I have had experience with DeGuzman and Nguyen at this location and was not impressed with their chair side manners and their lack of listening skills. With 25 plus years experience in the dental field, both chariside and Insurance side I am not naïve to the «YOU NEED TO HAVE A RCT/​BLD-​UP/​CROWN» routine.
I am very informed in this field and do not appreciate how this dental practice will persuade their cash paying patients to believe what they are being told. First and foremost get a second opinion if all you have gone in for is an emergency (9110) toothache and walk out paying for NO work to relieve the pain, but have had a (FMX)
(210) full mouth X-​rays and a (330) pano, NP (new patient) exam and perio charting done.
Be informed before you have the procedures performed «that are required»

Sacramento is filled with a overabundance of family dentistrys offering free whitening…$ 500 off Invisalign…100 wishes and a million dollars… but Dr. Deguzman’s office is truly set apart from the rest of these offices. I will never get my teeth looked at by another practice in Sacramento!
Customer Service:
To me, customer service is the pièce de résistance of a business. Dentists, hygienists and staff each take the time to memorize my name, and ask me how my previous work is holding up. Even the office manager approached me to shake my hand and introduce himself. It’s nice to feel warm & comfortable in a dentist office, which is a true deviation from my typical, apprehensive feeling upon walking through the door of a dentist’s office.
Atmosphere:
Very cozy feel to the office. Coffee machine, couches, magazines… typical dentist office.
Dental work:
About 3 months ago when I was inquiring every dental office in the greater sacramento region for invisalign prices, they were the cheapest ones by far. Not only that, but they offered free whitening, and also offered a feasible payment plan for my braces. Being a newly graduated student, struggling with payments for invisalign wasn’t a problem thanks to them.
Seriously the best dentistry. Dr. Deguzman really knows what she’s doing, and is one of the most gentle dentists EVER. Thank goodness I’m not walking out with my mouth all bloody and sore.

I worked out a plan with the staff to get a lot of fillings done that I had been putting off. I should have gone with my first impression and just left after the first couple times.
After the first filling they prescribed me an antibiotic. The second time I had work there (a couple weeks later) they tried to prescribe me an antibiotic AGAIN… an antibiotic that I was allergic to at that. During my course of work that I had done, which included many fillings and one root canal/​crown, I was extremely uncomfortable because I kept feeling the work they were doing. I don’t know if the novicaine was wearing off or if they didn’t give me enough… But it kept happening.
Almost every time I was there I had a different dentist.
Ever since I had work done there, I have had SEVERE tooth sensitivity. Some days it brings me to tears. I have to eat slowly and cannot eat anything too hot or too cold. I cannot bite into anything hard… even an apple. I exchanged a handful of emails with Dr Deguzman about this… the last time she asked me to come in to try to figure out what is going on, she wasn’t there. It was another dentist. Dr Deguzman has not done ANY of my work. She finally stopped responding to my emails…
So I am left with almost a thousand dollars that I owe to care credit, and miserably sensitive teeth. The one plus to this place is that the front office staff and hygienists are very nice. But unfortunately that doesn’t make up for incompetent dentists…

My favorite dentist! Dr. De Guzman and her staff definitely clean my teeth up really well. I also got them whitened here for a really reasonable price!
