Downtown Plaza Dental Offices

A good dentist and wonderful staff. The assistants and office staff are really sweet, helpful and on top of things. I wish I could stay, but my insurance has changed and they don’t accept it. Sad to have to leave this dentist!

First visit today. Impressed all the way. Appointment ran longer than expected, and they offered an extension on the validated parking pass. Thanks!

competent dentist here and top notch operations
does not believe in answering took many questions
I did request a fan because body temp can rise when getting drilled but they could not meet my request
I’d go back if needed. and I would recommend to others
didn’t seem to overcharge unlike eureka dental who serves mainly a Russian ukrainian crowd
I do think that if they are going to exist as a biz they should open longer on Fridays

I have been a patient of Dr. Finnerty for a few years. He and his entire staff are more than competent, friendly and reassuring. The office is spotless, equipment modern. Parking in the downstairs garage is free, a must for Capitol Mall. Dr. Mike is an honestly caring man who will never go past your comfort limit. As with other comenters, I wish I had found him sooner.

I was recommended this dental office by a handful of people in my office. If only I had found them sooner. I went to another dental office closer to my house and that dentist ended up performing unnecessary treatment and leaving me with permanent pain. However, upon coming to Downtown Dental Plaza, there was hope once again. Dr. Jennifer Finerty is absolutely wonderful!!! I came in not knowing why I was in pain and thinking it would be something that I would just have to live with. Dr. Jen took lots of X-​rays and even used a special pen shaped camera to get really close to the tooth that was causing pain. She was able to figure out that I had cracked a filling, but because the previous dentist had matched the filing to the color of my teeth very well (I’ll give him that) he didn’t «see» why I was in pain and sent me on my way. Dr. Jen took the extra time to really figure out what was going on and ever since I have gotten rid of 90% of the pain.
The staff is very friendly and willing to work with you on appointments and making payments on some of the more expensive dental options (night guard).

Excellent care.
Dr Finerty truly cares about his patients. He honestly wants to get to know you and explains everything in detail and any concerns you have. Wish all dentist cared this much and that I went to him years ago.
I have my wife to thank for suggesting his practice.

I highly recommend Downtown Dental Plaza. I’ve been coming here for years and have always received excellent care. Drs. Finerty have always done a terrific job of taking care of me and my family. The dental hygienists are all very good and the receptionists and schedulers are very friendly and efficient. If you’re looking for a great dentist and positive dental experience (yes, that is possible), go to Downtown Dental.

I have been going to Dr. Finnerty (s) for well over 10 years. They are professional, skilled, and always get you in on time. It would be hard to find another dentist in Sacramento as good as these two are.

I searched for a dentist for quite a while after finding Dr. Finnerty (s). They take the time to get to know you, they don’t oversell, and the staff is super efficient and wonderfuly nice. Downtown Plaza Dental is worth driving the distance and I don’t think I’ll ever need to look for another dentist again. Did I mention they’re good dentists as well?

Downtown Plaza Dental is excellent. Dr. Michael Finerty is always courteous, professional and direct. The office staff is always friendly and more than happy to answer any and all questions. The hygenists always go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you could possibly need. I work downtown and can walk from my work and be back in my office after a cleaning in an hour and a half. I also really appreciate that Dr. Finerty never pushes services or tries to make me feel like I have a thousand pending emergencies in my mouth that will require extreme measures-​I have gone to offices like that in the past and I can’t stand it. I highly recommend Downtown Plaza Dental. They are the best!

After living in the general Sacramento area for over 40 years I have finally found the BEST practice yet! I say this after having spent more than my far share of time in dental chairs. From Dr. Jennifer Finerty, to the hygienist, the assistant and office staff — all top notch in every regard.

This is the best dentist I have ever been to. The staff is so friendly and very considerate to their patients. Dr. Finerty is AMAZING!

By far the best dentist experience I’ve ever had. Conveniently located downtown — perfect for those of us working in the Capitol area — the office is friendly and inviting. All of the staff from the receptionists to the dentists themselves are completely focused on the patient experience. Dr. Jennifer Finerty has been my primary dentist here, and she has been wonderful. I highly recommend this practice.

They simply, are the best. Prior reviews say it all! Both doctors are very professional and their staff are also very polite and professional!

I loathe going to the dentist, but this is by far, the best dentist I have ever been to in my lifetime. Not only is the view from the dental chair pretty nice (over looking Capitol Mall Street in downtown Sac), but the staff is curteous, professional, caring and efficient.
This practice is owned by a husband & wife team of dentists. Dr. Michael Finerty is my main dentist, though his wife (Jennifer) will cover his calls when he isn’t in the office. I have been going to this place every six months for roughly 5 years & that has only happened twice. Admittedly, I do prefer Michael Finerty over his wife because I feel as though both times she saw me, she was trying to entice me to purchase an extra service or other equipment that is beyond what was necessary. Mr. Finerty will ask several questions and provide honest recommendations based on the reality of your feedback/​situation. Sometimes it results in extra work, sometimes it does not. I wish his spouse was as considerate.
Overall, I still give this place 5 stars. The dental hygenists are all fabulous. Seriously. Dr. M. Finerty is equally fabulous. I recommend this place to every new person I know that comes to town. Thumbs up!

A great option for a dentist if you work or live in the downtown area. For me this was especially convenient as I work in the same building and so it was merely an elevator ride to my appointment. Numerous other people in my office and in the building use this dental office as well and it came very highly recommended.
On my first visit we started off with full X-​rays, examination and cleaning. They have the standard X-​ray machine and the one that rotates all the way around your head to get at your wisdom teeth, although since I had mine removed a few years back, we didn’t use that one. They even have a webcam that they can put in your mouth and take pictures of your teeth to get an even better look. After my checkup by Dr. Jennifer Finerty, I was pleased to find that I didn’t have any new cavities, however an old filling had worked its way loose and needed to be replaced. We ended the first visit with a full cleaning and I was pleased that there was no attempt to upsell or to suggest that I come back for a deep cleaning on another date, which is usually code for, we’re going to take your insurance company for every possible penny.
I did have to make an appointment to get my filling replaced and I did that this past week. While everyone always says they don’t like going to the dentist, this was the most pain free, easiest procedure I have ever had. She used an anesthetic that was so localized I didn’t even feel numbness in my cheek, but I couldn’t feel anything in my tooth. The filling was in place and done before I even knew it.
In addition to professional service, it is quite cool to sit in the dental chair and not just stare at some ugly white walls, but rather to be looking out over Capitol Mall from the 7^th Floor of a nice office building. Everyone in the office was very friendly. Overall, one of the best experiences I have ever had with a dentist.

Over my life time, I’ve been to 3 kinds of dentists: Those that don’t care and do horrible work, the others who are only looking in your mouth and seeing dollar signs and then there are the far and few between, the kind, professional, caring, skilled dentists. When you find a dentist like that you hope they never retire and you refer all of your friends to them. Both Michael Finerty & Jennifer Finerty are exactly those dentists. I have been treated by both of them and trust them implicitly.
Their staff is very helpful and courteous. Their hygienists are the best around. I see Heather L. and she does a magnificent job for me. If you work in the Downtown area their office location is very convenient. I really can’t say enough good things about Downtown Plaza Dental!

Very welcoming and caring dentist office. I had a very serious and painful impacted tooth and came into their office very apprehensive. I was without insurance and had not been to a dentist in over 3 years. They were very kind and caring. They took care of me and made sure I was on the road of recovery quickly. Dr. Finerty and the staff are amazing!
