Sacramento Dentist Reviews: Dr. Kosta Adams, DDS. Dr. Adams, Dentist 95825. 08 September 2010

Patient Review 1:

I used DR Oogle to find Dr Adams because I had a very bad experience with my former Dentist with a root canal. It was such a relief to actually go to a dentist with modern facilities, a nice view, and nice friendly, knowledgable people. Dr Adams gave me a big hand shake while I was getting my teeth cleaned by Carol who does a great job. Dr Kosta took time to examine my teeth and give me a good idea of my present status plus things to watch for. I was very impressed with him and his staff and would certainly reccommend him highly.

About Hygienist: Carol does a great job, she's got over 30 yrs experience and really knows what she's doing. Very nice to talk to as well, best cleaning I've ever had..

Treatment Length with Dr. Adams: 2 weeks.

Dr. Adams is very knowledgeable at what he does. He takes the time to explain what he is doing if I ever feel uncomfortable. His annathestic shot was virtually pain free and him and his staff go out of their way to make you feel as comforatable as possible.

Patient Review 3:

Prior to dental inplants I had bone augmentation to my lower jaw. Several months later we began the process for inplants. I am a "wuss" by nature, but Dr. Adams made the process as pain free as possible. He was very attentive to my needs and made every effort to avoid the possibility of infections. I never feared going to see Dr. Adams, as others fear going to the Dentist. Dr. Adams and his staff were all very professional, gracious, and always made me feel at home. I have not researched the cost for implants, but understand the cost was very reasonable. Dr. Adams afforded me the opportunity to pay in increments. I would definitely refer him to others in need of implants.

Treatment Length with Dr. Adams: I've know Dr. Adams for several years..

Patient Review 4:

Throughout my teens I took terrible care of my teeth, and now I'm paying for it. I went to Dr. Adams today to get a cleaning and examination. All of the employees are very friendly. Carol who cleaned my teeth was taking her time to explain things to me, what she was seeing, why that happens, how your teeth work etc which was very cool. Nice person. Dr. Adams came in and discussed my teeth with me for a good 15 minutes. He didn't seem the slightest bit rushed. My favorite part about the trip is Dr. Adams. Straight talk all the way, he definitely has a grasp of what a dentist should be. Hes very funny, but not normal dentist funny, actually funny. He took the time to point out what was wrong with my teeth and we discussed all of the options. Instead of pointing to a tooth and fixing it, we created a plan that extends into 2010. It was great being treated like a truly valued customer. I have an appointment for a root canal and honestly I'm looking forward to seeing how a good dentist works. I feel relieved in the fact that I found a good dentist and also in the fact that my tooth pain will finally be gone.

I can't wait for my teeth to be fixed.

Treatment Length with Dr. Adams: 1 day.

Simply put:; Dr. Adams and his wonderful staff are the best you can find. He is the most congenial and informative dentist I have ever experienced in my 56 years of life, plus his staff (family members included) are absolute darlings. If you are seeking first rate dental attention, from a dentist who genuinely cares about how he cares for you, this is the place. Hands down, the best.

About Hygienist: Carol, my hygienist is just a sweetheart too. First rate staff all around.

Treatment Length with Dr. Adams: 8 YEARS.

Patient Review 6:

We've known Dr. Adams and his family for almost 25 years. When I returned from Peace Corps, I needed a dentist, and placed my finger on a dentist in the yellow pages. I landed the best dentist in Sacramento! As my family grew, so did the doctors, and we consider ourselves part of their family. No one ever complains when they need dentistry--going there, we know we can catch up on what is the lastest happenings in both our lives and receive great service at the same time. You can't find a more caring environment, loving service or better people than Dr. Adams and his staff. We always recommend him to anyone who asks for a new dentist. If there were an Emmy for Dentistry, we would happily award this dentist the award for exemplary service and care for his patients.

I am a brand new patient here to report on my experience. Dr. Adams shows comprehensive knowledge and concern for the big picture. I feel like he will remember me and my particular problems and is interested in my long term well being. Talks a lot, but makes up for it by explaining things well and being efficient, competent, and relatively painless when working in your mouth.

About Hygienist: The hygienist was knowledgeable, efficient, polite, and as gentle as possible.

Treatment Length with Dr. Adams: 1 month.

Dr. Adams and his entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. He was able to diagnose my toothache as being the result of teeth grinding and quickly and painlessly fixed the problem. I highly recommend him and have no hesitation to going back for all my dental needs.

Dr. Adams has always been upbeat and friendly. He welcomes you in as if you were a part of the family. Great people make the pain of going to the dentist forgotten. I had to use another dentist for 4 years as my job's dental plan didnt include him, but as soon as I got a new plan, I was right back to Dr. Adams.

Honestly, I am a wimp, a coward, and a dentaphobe(if that is a word) this man put me at ease, I came in and a family friendly atmosphere was there to greet me. The staff was wonderful, Dr adams was descriptive, prior to my root canal, and called the next day to see how I was, Honestly, I didn't even feel the shot. His daughter works in the office as a DA, and she is as nice as she is beautiful. (No offense Dr Adams, besides I am happily married) Dr Adams is honest, sets the expectations, and I am glad to have met him let alone call him my dentist. I am having my wife, and children go to him from now on.

Treatment Length with Dr. Adams: 8 days.

Patient Review 17:

I had been looking for a good dentist for years and Dr Adams is an answer to my prayer!

I could tell immediately that Dr Adams is a skilled and talented practitioner by his feedback on the condition of my teeth and the high-tech equipment used in the office. It is apparent that he studied my xrays, mouth impressions and made a thorough exam. I doubt if there is a better dentist in Sacramento or for miles around.

The hygenist is first-rate. The best cleaning I've ever had. My teeth and gums will last forever as long as I can get my teeth cleaned by her!

Everything is the office runs like a fine-tuned machine...minimal wait time [which is very important], courteous and respectful staff and the equipment new and clean.

If you are looking for a dentist who cares, is friendly, doesn't make you wait, and really knows how to make your teeth look great, don't hesitate to go to Dr Adams!

A FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT DR ADAMS 9 YEARS AGO. AT AGE 26 THAT TIME, NO DENTIST HAD SATISFIED ME. DR ADAMS WAS PROFESSIONAL, FAST, INEXPENSIVE AND THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR ME, PAIN FREE. NOW I HAVE NO FEAR FOR GOING TO THE DENTIST AND I'VE BEEN BACK SEVERAL TIMES. I WHITEN MY TEETH 2 YEARS AGO AND HE MADE MY SMILE LOOK SO MUCH BETTER. I FREELY RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYBODY I KNOW. HE IS THE BEST, AND LAST YEAR HE GOT A CERTIFICATE THAT ONLY 2 DOCTORS HAVE AT STATE OF CALIFORNIA. HIS OFFICE ALWAYS CLEAN AND THE STUFF ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. WITH A FEW WORDS ''ONE OF A KIND'' . MY TEETH ARE IN A GOOD HEALTH NOW BECAUSE OF DR. ADAMS. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING DR. ADAMS.

Dr. Adams, Is the best! We have been patients of his for well over 10 years. I was afraid of going to a dentist my whole life, until going to see Dr. Adams. He does his best to keep it painless and his compassion is just what you want during the appointment. His work is done with percision, skill and patience. I would recommend Dr. Adams & his staff to anyone!

I have been a patient of Dr. Adams for many years and I have nothing but praise for him. He is professional, kind and up to date on all aspects of dental practice. He has bleached my teeth in the past (great job) and when I needed an emergency crown put in before a vacation trip to Africa, he made sure I got in and was ready to go with no problems. I would highly recommend Dr. Adams.

Before going to Dr. Adams I had a real fear of dentists.At 47 I felt a little embaressed about that fear. I had had a bad experience a few years back and it was really hard for me to even think about going to a dentist. I was talking with a co- worker (who was a patient of Dr. Adams) about a tooth ache I was having and she, knowing my fear made my first appt. with Dr. Adams On that first visit as I was waiting in the lobby he came out and introduced himself and reassured me that everything would be fine. Well... four root canals, a couple of extractions and now braces everything really is fine!!!

Kosta Adams is the best dentist I've seen in my 56 years. I have absolute confidence in him, because he is so driven to be the best. He obviously cares very much about the quality of his work. I enjoy his delight in doing good work--he loves to look in one's mouth and see his own work holding up well. On top of that, he's a great guy.

From Dr. Adams, I received a skin graph to cover an exposed root. He gave me adquate time and knowledge as to what the procedure was about, so my comfort zone was at its max at the time of the procedure. I felt no pain and have had regular check -ups to see my progress.

The employees at Dr. Adams office are warm and sincere, and are always willing to work around one's schedule. They call and confirm appointments regularly and they greet you with warm smiles.

Dr. Adams himself is an expert at what he does and takes great pride in himself and his work. He knows his patients well and he takes care of them. I would recommend Dr. Adams any day.

Ive been going to Dr. Adams since the early 90s. I always leave my dental appointments feeling happy about my teeth, even after having work done. Pain isnt a part of Dr. Adams practice.

Dr. Adams is great with kids. When my daughter was 5 she needed to have a necrotic tooth that she had injured on the playground pulled. He was so gentle and quick that my awestruck daughter, who tends to be very anxious about pain, was absolutely convinced that hed pulled the tooth out by magic. He even gave her a plastic box for her tooth and a dime (from his associate the tooth fairy) for her trouble.

Patient Review 28:

I was a military brat and had seen many dentist in my youth. I had a total fear of dentists since the age of 6. At the age of 18, I was in control of my life and decided for myself, I no longer needed regular dental care. At the age of 22, I found myself in pain and looking for a dentist, still being fearful, I would only commit to emergency dental care. Finally in 1985, I ran into Dr. Adams. I was still fearful and nervous in the beginning, but after a few visits, I became comfortable with Dr. Adams, his techniques, and thorough explainations. Since then I have had , fillings, extractions, root canals, crowns, bridges, and veneers. I still see Dr. Adams on a regular basis to keep my teeth healthy, and my smile happy, not embarrassing. For those of you looking for quality care and ease of anxiety, I truely recommend Dr. Adams as your full care provider. In addition, my son at 3 years of age, had seen Dr. Adams on an emergecy basis after chipping his tooth. He has no fear of seeing a dentist. he has had shots, drilling and pulpotomy's.

Thanks Dr Adams for all you have done!
