I just had a crown done at High Desert Dental. I had the best experience with Sarah (dental assistant) - and Dr. Pottenger. When I was getting the temporary, Sarah explained things so well that I felt very comfortable. With so many years of going to dentist, I never had a dental assistant who explained things as well as she did. She is also very happy to meet my needs. I had to travel with the temporary for few weeks and she put a stronger bond for me. And it stayed on for a month. I was very happy with Dr. Pottenger - she is very skilled that I didn't feel any pain. Thank you to both Sarah and Dr. Pottenger.

Monica was great in explaining what she was doing throughout the cleaning. She made recommendations, but wasn't pushy. The entire staff is professional and friendly. I really love that Dr. Pottenger offers sedation.
