Edward T Wiggins, DDS

Walking in to D20 dental makes me feel like the scene in Wayne’s World when Wayne and Garth meet Alice Cooper and kneel down and scream ‘We’re not worthy!’ This place looks amazing! I love this place.
The staff is excellent Dr. Wiggins, the hygienists, and admin staff are absolute professionals. Dr. Wiggins is courteous and a very intelligent dentist. He really knows his stuff. The hygienist staff are efficient and very friendly. The admin/​front desk team are very helpful as well. The quality of service is second.

Man, I wish D20 accepted Delta Dental. I miss Dr. Wiggins. :(

I hate the dentist but coming to D2O Dental has been an amazingly pleasant experience. Dr. Wiggins is calming and informs you of what he is going to do before he does it. The waiting room is never busy and the staff is always on top of their game and have great attitudes. They offer chapstick after any procedures to soothe your lips, give you «movie goggles» to watch a movie of your choice as they do any necessary work. They are also very informative and educate you to prevent dental problems in the future. Highly recommend.

Dr. Wiggins + staff are extremely professional and caring; would not have gotten through a round of dental emergencies and a high level of anxiety without them. Really appreciate having a dental «home» I can trust. Not the most inexpensive around, but why mess with quality when it’s your MOUTH?

I have been coming to D20 Dental for several years and received excellent (and extensive) treatment there. Due to changes in my insurance, I was no longer covered there and had to see another Dentist. When the new dentist looked at the work on my teeth, he asked who had done the work because he said it was «excellent quality». That made me really happy and glad that I trusted my dental work to D20 Dental.
While I would definitely recommend D20 Dental, I would like to share that my initial visits with them resulted in their strong recommendations for some very expensive (not covered by insurance) treatment which I declined. When I told the staff that I didn’t want the treatment, they became insistent and pushy in trying to change my mind. When I told them that I didn’t want to pay $ 1000 for an optional treatment, they tried to convince me to finance the treatment through their credit program. I didn’t need their credit program, I just wasn’t interested and they had a hard time taking «NO» for an answer. However, I didn’t back down and after this initial sales pitch, I received excellent care from them.

Going to D2O feels more like a spa day — for your mouth. It’s good for you.
Dr. Wiggins and the excellent D2O team have all been personable from the moment I’ve entered their office and to this day, they’ve ensured that all my dental needs are being met and have made great recommendations on my dental needs.
Miray Gendi, RDH, does the best comprehensive cleanings I’ve ever had and she answers all of my dental questions — as annoying as my petty questions are — while never batting an annoyed eye.
I always feel well treated here and would recommend D2O to anyone looking for a great office to assist in dental care.

I recently went to this office. Very happy I did. Very friendly staff and quality experts on staff. Made the experience very simple and enjoyable. I highly recommend this office.

I approached Dr. Wiggins with a tentative desire to refurbish my smile about two years ago and I cannot adequately state the level of competence, professionalism, and standard of care that Dr. Wiggins and his team have followed through in this process. My care involved close coordination with an orthodontist, which was executed seamlessly. Dr. Wiggins has approached my case with what I perceive to be a keen intellectual curiosity and acuity that has provided both comfort and confidence. There was a moment during my last appointment where he expressed a deep satisfaction with his work. It is difficult to express how grateful and confident this made me feel. Ultimately, Dr. Wiggins seems to be driven by a desire to be excellent at his craft. This, above all else, is my most valued quality in any healthcare provider. Miray, Melody, Alisha, and Melisa should not go unrecognized either. Each approach their work with the same desire to be great at what they do and it shows. D20 is a true team of professionals that I owe a debt of gratitude to. Keep up the great work.

We moved back to Sacramento last year and picked D20 from our provider list.
The office is very nice and a small army of staff greet and take care of you. After X-​ray and consultation, Apparently i had suddenly grown veery deep pockets I was escorted into a «conference» room and told that i had several problems and given the cost. I was curious about the need for root planing since i just had it last year and my previous dentist said the results were excellent.
I returned a few weeks later with a dental emergency. Dr. recommended extraction and an implant. I was taken back to the «conference» room for an explanation of how to proceed, an explanation of my benefits. I was relieved to hear that we had excellent coverage and that it would cover the majority of the procedure. I went to the oral surgeon and he again went over the timeline (several stage procedure with a multi-​month lag). The tooth was extracted and i called six weeks later to set up the appointment. The oral surgeon’s office said we had never discussed an implant (we had) and said D20 hadn’t mentioned it (I find hard to believe).
When i went back to D20 the tune changed, none of the procedure was covered and they were certain that my partner and I had misunderstood (we both hold advanced degrees and hold responsible positions). It would now be over 3K out of pocket but «Don’t worry, we can finance it for you.» I immediately sought out another dentist and we are very happy.
Incidentally, without saying anything to the new dentist, the exam revealed much smaller margins/​pockets and a root planing was never mentioned.
D20 seems to me to be a well rehearsed sales machine with a plethora of sales staff in the front office. If I didn’t want to play along, I probably am not their target market.

Always a pleasure to be treated as a VIP. Yesterday, I showed up a half hour early for my teeth-​cleaning appointment. My RDH, Stacey Lalumondier, was generous enough to tend to me without delay. D2O is in a class of their own. The staff is professional, caring, & cordial. The atmosphere is so comfortable & relaxing I feel as though I’m at a spa that has rolled out the red carpet just for me. I always look forward to my appointments there.
Thank you, Stacey, and the rest of the D2O team for making an ordinary person feel so very important.
Bonus: Sturdy bicycle rack on the sidewalk to secure your bike as I did when I left my car at home.

My dental hygienist was as thorough as ever. I always like the part where she explains what she’s doing and what she’s about to do. I feel like I am part of my dental care. I would also like to give a special shout out to Melissa. I wanted to get Invisalign but I wasn’t aware that my insurance coverage changes in 2015. She was patient and did her best to make sure that I get seen on a time/​day convenient to me to get qualified for the 2014 coverage. She was very patient with me. Thank you so much!

D2O is the best dentist office I’ve hired, and I’ve used a number in my day.
The office is clean, modern, and chic and the men and women who work there are kind and professional.
Doctor Wiggins himself is open, honest, and approachable. I highly recommend this office.

How is it possible to have a relaxing experience at the dentist?! If you go to D20 Dental, you easily can! As soon as I walk in the door I always feel welcomed. This dentist’s office is unlike any other I’ve been to before. It feels so clean and is so comfortable. They have thought of everything — music and headphones to block out the noise, sunglasses so the bright lights don’t blind you, lip balm that smells like eucolytus to calm your nerves, and a lavender scented towel to wipe your face at the end. This is unlike any other dental office and I’m so glad I have found it!

I had my first visit here this week, and will definitely be going back for all of my dental care. First of all, the front office staff are incredibly friendly and very helpful. They checked my insurance coverage prior to the appointment, called me when they had a cancellation and could fit me in early, and went over all of my options both before the visit and after regarding future dental care.
Dr. Wiggins was great. He’s very thorough and made me feel at ease, even though I hadn’t been to a dentist since moving to Sacramento. He took his time answering all my questions and went over all of the photos and xrays with me, and explained any potential problems that he saw. Even though I’ll need a little work, I left feeling good about coming back to have this all fixed because I’ll be in good hands.
Also of note, he said nothing about my delay in going to a dentist since moving here, almost 2 years ago…, and instead was understanding and focused on going forward. This was a relief and definitely makes me want to continue coming here and keep up on my dental care from now on.
I’m excited that I found a great dentist, and would recommend Dr Wiggins to anyone!

Great facility: convenient, clean and super nice staff. I really like that they focus on preventative care here.
For every cleaning, the staff offers you beats headphones to drown out the obnoxious noise of the dental tools. If you have a longer visit (cavities or any other procedures), they have these cool goggles where you can watch a movie.
Plus after every visit, you get a cute rubber ducky with the dental care package (toothbrush, floss, toothpaste)

Been here a few times. The hygienists are awesome. I find the place a bit high-​brow, like I’m there to see a high-​priced attorney or something. Dr. Wiggins at first seemed top-​notch, but a recent visit got me suspicious.
He barely greeted me, only to tell how I needed work immediately. There was no explanation or viewing of the x-​ray. When I asked, he showed it to me, but (not being a radiologist or dentist of couse) it made me pause. I couldn’t really see anything. I was symptom free. Plus, he never even examined me). I just got the weird feeling I might be helping them make the extremely high rent, given the ideal location in Midtown.
I ended up canceling my appointment. A month or so later I was supposed to return for a simple cleaning and I told the receptionist I was not returning. She never questioned my decision at all. Hmmm.
Even if it’s all legit, I suggest they lose the unfriendly «look» of the place. Have the DDS sit down and explain what his exam was (yes, do an exam please), what the X-​rays truly indicate, if one could wait for the filing (and what signs/​symptoms indicate prompt attention), and get to know the patient a bit.
My fav dentist back in suburban Chicago was awesome: personable (called him by his first name), homey office (no receptionist, just a comfy waiting room). They all knew my history (what I did for a living, my family. etc) and seemed legitimately interested in me and my life. When it was time to leave I sat in a comfy personal office (like where the dentist actually worked at his desk). It was casual, relaxed, personal, and uncrushed. They dentist took the time to explain all exams/​findings, offered alternatives, and were just wonderful to visit. I went to him for some 15 years before moving to CA.

Clean practice. The people are really nice, including Dr. Wiggins and the hygienist. People are polite, considerate, and have really genuine personalities. I’ve been coming here as a student a lot and make cancellations pretty often. They’re cool about that and are very understanding. I recommend this place to anyone. There’s a reason why this place has a 5 star average review. One of the best dentists in town.

Hands down THE BEST dental experience of my life. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Wiggins on his first day of business in Sacramento and having my teeth cleaned, and have never been happier. Over the past few years he’s replaced two old fillings and fixed a faulty crown, and I can always rely on him for honest and candid suggestions.
I’ve also recommended family and friends to his practice, and each one of them continues to go back. Although I now live in San Diego, I still fly to Sacramento for my cleanings and check ups, he’s that good.

I’ve been pretty nervous trying to find a new dentist after moving from the Bay Area where I had a family dentist my entire life. Dr. Wiggins and his staff are very friendly and accommodating which helped put my mind at ease. They took their time for an initial inspection and we’re able to show me photos of problem areas where they recommended work.
I’ve gone in for a deep cleaning and have had a couple fillings since and am quite pleased with the service. Their office and chairs are very comfortable. They offer high quality headphones (Beats Audio) to help the time pass during dental cleaning. For my fillings, video goggles were offered which really helps distract away from the work being done and makes 1.5 hrs. of work pass by quickly.
They offer nice details like chap stick during cleaning and a hot towel afterward. They’ve been real good at applying the right amount of anesthetic, whether topical or injection, where I hardly notice work is being done on my mouth.
A great place that I definitely recommend to others as well. They seem pretty popular though as that an initial appointment might be over a month from the first call. After that scheduling actual dental work has been pretty easy and I get on without having to wait too long.

If I could, I would give this place 10 stars. My review isn’t based off of just one or two cleanings. I’ve gotten the WHOLE WORKS: basic exams, x-​rays, cleanings, Invisalign, a full set of top veneers (8), teeth whitenings, and retainers — that’s how you know that this isn’t just written for the heck of it. This place is so good that I retained them as my main dentistry even after moving to LA. Yes, I even braced the Sacramento summer heat and flew up a few times just to continue services with them.
Dr. Wiggins is incredibly knowledgeable. His staff is well seasoned and very accommodating. This place has the top-​of-​the-​line equipment, incredible service, and an ambiance that gives off the vibe of a spa rather than a dentistry.
I won’t go into detail with all my procedures, but I will admit that dental work is no walk in the park. Regardless of the inevitable pain, they assured me that they would take every precaution to ensure that I was as comfortable as humanly possible. This included follow up phone calls, prompt replies to any message I left, I also was able to contact staff members after hours in order to tend to my post-​dental work status. They even took the time to send me personalized emails to further discuss my recovery. This was above and beyond their usual friendly email & call reminders.
I’ve grown to know this place as more than just a dentistry. This became a life changing experience. My smile is incredibly beautiful now all thanks to Dr. Wiggins and his lovely staff. Even after leaving Sacramento, Dr. Wiggins gave a personal recommendation for an excellent dentist near my home in LA. That goes to show the excellence of this place. It’s not just about teeth, but an entire life transformation.
Oh and don’t forget to ask for Bettina if you’re getting your teeth cleaned. She’s the best! She even makes sure that your lips don’t get chapped!
