Bruckner Richard DDS

Dr. Bruckner removed my daughter’s 4 wisdom teeth, which included some that were impacted. He did an excellent job and she recovered nicely with no issues. She had no side effects from anesthesia. There was always someone there to answer our questions during recovery. Office staff was amazing with my insurance, which I didn’t even know would cover part of it. They scheduled my daughter at a moments notice so she could still use that insurance since she was up against an age requirement. Dr Bruckner even helped me out when I almost fainted while listening to the postop instructions. They spent 20 minutes with me (A nurse literally sat by my side) and made sure I was OK. I was very grateful for that! Thank you Dr Bruckner and your wonderful office/​nursing staff for taking such good care of my daughter and myself! When my younger daughter is ready for her wisdom teeth to come out you will be the first person I call! I hope you and your staff have a happy new year

Dr. Bruckner removed my wisdom teeth and did a fantastic job. He put me to sleep for the procedure, and I don’t remember anything painful. His office staff were very kind and professional. I had very little pain during recovery as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing oral surgery!

I just moved to Simi Valley and woke up on thursday with a swollen cheek and in pain from my bottom wisdom tooth. Didn’t know who to call so i relied on Unilocal suggestion. They were completely right Dr Bruckner saw me the same day and told me my tooth was infected and i needed it out and also need my other bottom one out thats why my pain was so bad. Thank goodness he said he could do it that day because i would have suffered the whole fourth of july weekend. He had to do it under just novicane because i had eaten that day not knowing i was having surgery. He gave me a sedative to relax and i didn’t feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. The whole experience was great even the nurses and front desk people were so nice. He even gave me a call that same night to check on me i think thats shows a lot of class. Thanks again

I recently had two extremely painful and infected wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Bruckner. His staff was extremely friendly and his anesthesiologists were the sweetest!
Dr. Bruckner is not the most talkative but he is extremely thorough and to the point. He let me know exactly what I needed to do pre and post operation and how to prevent infection. He also gave me a xanax to take an hour before surgery in order to calm me down. I was so relaxed that I hardly remember them putting me under. The procedure lasted about 10 minutes and I was asleep for it all. They covered me in blankets and put chapstick on my lips to keep from getting dry! I felt like my mom was there lol.
I nursed my surgery site really well for about 7 days and had no issues or pain whatsoever. The stitches dissolved easily and the open cavities fused together within days. The doctor was also on call ²⁴⁄₇. I had a question at 11pm one night and I got ahold of him within minutes.
Having my wisdom teeth removed was something I never wanted to face because I freak out with any pain! He changed that for me! I have to have 2 more wisdom teeth removed and I legitimately can’t wait to take another week off work and eat ice cream and oat meal non stop!
I highly recommend him for anyone looking to have an extraction. Never have I ever felt so taken care of.

I needed a dental implant. He explained everything in detail before I went through the necessary procedures. The whole experience was done in a very professional manner, and then I went to the dentist for the crown. The dentist was very impressed with the quality of the work. I did not look forward to this experience, but it went smoothly and I recommend Dr. Bruckner and his office staff without reservation. Stewart B

No one wants ANY surgery-​especially oral surgery but I recently needed it and was referred to Dr.Bruckner. The office staff was very accommodating, explained everything to me and helped me with my insurance. Dr. Bruckner was very professional, explained everything to me after my exam and answered all my questions.
The procedure was completed quickly and efficiently and WITHOUT any discomfort at all. He personally called me later in the day to make sure I was OK and that I understood all the directions.
Hope I never have to see another surgeon again but if I ever need oral surgery again I will definitely go back.
I even called my dentist who referred me to Dr. Bruckner and thanked her for sending me to him.

Unprofessional, didn’t take time to explain things— His staff misrepresented insurance coverage/​payment information and overall added to anxiety. Long wait in the uncomfortable waiting room. The man is shaky, won’t look you in the eye and in my case, there were complications that he didn’t care to address and had to go to another dentist for help. Who wants to go to someone like that? He should retire before he does harm.

If I could give more stars I would the staff at Dr. Bruckners office was beyond friendly and professional I went in for a tooth extraction and a surgical procedure I was beyond nervous but was more than happy with the result Dr. Bruckner called me personally at 8:00pm on the day of my surgery which took place at 9:45 that morning just to see how I was doing I have never had a Doctor who took such an interest in his patients I won’t be going anywhere else for any dental procedures I need in the future

I had an infection surrounding one of my wisdom teeth. I was in excruciating pain and needed relief. I have a busy work schedule and needed to have it extracted as soon as possible. Dr. Bruckner gave me a prescription for an antibiotic and scheduled the extraction on my lunch break. He was able to take the tooth out using only local anesthesia, I felt nothing, and the best part… I was able to return work later that day. Thank you, Dr. Bruckner, I couldn’t have asked for a smoother, more pleasant experience.

Worst experience I have ever had within the dental field. Doctor Bruckner has no bed side manner what so ever. He was rude and insulting. I had four wisdom teeth removed, and ended up with dry socket syndrome in one of the sockets. It had been that way from day one after the surgery and he neglected to tell me, and it wasn’t brought up until I asked about the unbearable pain at the 1 week follow up.
Avoid at all costs. Ask friends and family if they have some one they can recommend you to, even if you have to drive out of your way. All of his former patients I have spoke to have had the same opinions of his bed side manner. If you don’t have super thick skin, this is not the place for you.

Great staff. Dr. Bruckner answered all my questions and did a fabulous job at easing that dental pain.
