Mark W Deering, DDS

This place is awful. First of all, I do not have that bad of teeth, and the lady cleaning my teeth there kept letting out these gasps like she was disgusted when I opened my mouth. She told me, «I can tell you don’t floss, you really need to start flossing. I can tell you don’t take care of your teeth.» Like what the hell? Isn’t it your job to help me and clean my teeth and recommend what to do and. It criticize me for it? Whatever, I won’t be answering any of their offices sales calls that they jam me up with every single week.

You want to complain about deep cleaning? I’d avoided dentists — all dentists — for twenty years before joining my family as a patient of Dr. Deering. Twenty years? That’s a deep cleaning. Minimal muss, fuss, pain or inconvenience. These guys are terrific.

I’m writing on my wife’s Unilocal to keep my identity somewhat protected. My experience here was not helpful. He’s a nice enough dentist. But way too many x-​rays too many times. The cleaning process was always a really painful deep-​cleaning with highly-​concentrated water stream. Also, of the three or four crowns I got, only two have lasted (so far) and it’s only been three-​four years. Crowns should last at least 20 — 25 years. I get that every dentist is human and dentistry is always changing, but I can’t help thinking that between the pain, the x-​Rays and the crowns that did not last, you could do better. I wasted tens of thousands of dollars with Dr. Deering, and I wouldn’t even want him to fix it since clearly he does such a poor job.

I’ve trusted my dental care to Dr. Deering and Dr. Kadlec for nearly a decade. Always professional, friendly, and extremely thorough. Even though I’ve moved out of town, over an hour away from their office, I gladly go out of my way to stay with my excellent dentists.

I have been receiving care from Mark and Laura Deering for over 25 years. Their work quality and integrity are above reproach. They are gentle, kind and considerate.
They do not «sell» services but make genuine recommendations based upon the needs of each individual patient.
Their work quality is unparalleled.
Their office staff are friendly, genuine and very helpful.
I could not provide a higher recommendation to this practice.

studio village dental, you’re my knight in shinning armor!
i had an appointment at a different dentist to get my extremely painful wisdom tooth looked at. that dentist blew me off!
It was 4:15. I was practically in tears and rushing to find any dentist that would look at my tooth before they closed. the receptionist told me that if i could be right there, they would see me. keep in mind they close in 45 minutes!
they had me fill out some papers and got me right in. everyone was extremely nice and helpful! i got xrays and dr. deering looked over my teeth. he determined that my wisdom tooth was infected and gave me a prescription for some antibiotics. he referred me to an oral surgeon and i couldn’t have been any more pleased by this experience.
you guys rock! and if any of your staff sees this, thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for squeezing me in right before you closed!

Been going to see Dr Deering and his wife, Dr Kadlac for years and I do not live in the area.. I have always been happy with the service from either dentist and their staff. I am a difficult patient with getting x-​rays done due to having a sensitive gag reflex. The doctor and his staff are always accommodating with doing whatever is necessary to get ease my reflex and get the x-​rays done. I have recommended both Dr Deering and his wife, Dr Kadlac to numerous family members who are also very pleased with the service and staff.
I wish Unilocal allowed more than 5 stars.

I’ve been going to Studio Village Dental for many many years. I’ve never had a bad experience here and I highly recommend them. Dr. Deering, Dr. Kadlac and all the staff are wonderful!

Was here again recently.
Great all the way around.
And the best part: when you get this kind of treatment, you don’t mind paying the bill!

I went here several times, and am generally unimpressed. Some strange things happened that made me think I should find another dentist:
1. During my cleaning I heard grunting from the hallway, and learned the dentist does pushups in the office.
2. Only open Monday through Thursday! Hello? People work!
Plus they HOUND you if you don’t schedule your next appointment.
3. They insisted on replacing several fillings which were less than 5 years old. Resulted in a crown ($ 800 out of pocket!). I asked if this was normal for fillings, that they needed to be replaced so frequently, if my previous dentist did something wrong, etc and the dentist just said «Nope.» Then why are mine needing replacement after so little time? He did not have an answer.
4. During the last visit, when the crown was to be put in place, the dentist couldn’t find my nerve for injection of the anesthetic. After trying three or four times, he insisted I could tough it out and so continued with his work. My ear was completely numb but I had FULL sensation in my mouth. Not a fun hour of my life.

We haven’t had any major work, but we’ve been pleased so far. The office is pleasant, the people are nice, the work is professional. I like that they don’t rush through their exams and cleanings. This is a family affair. The three «Dr. Deerings» are husband, wife, and son. In my experience, the actual dentists do the work, not dental assistants.

Everything you would want in a dental office. Excellent services in a hygienic atmosphere. As a new patient, I was emailed the paperwork ahead of time so I didn’t have to fill it out there. Super friendly staff (shout out to Michelle). Everything was explained to me and I felt comfortable asking questions. I look forward to going back to get my front tooth fixed (small little chip from childhood) and maybe to get my teeth whitened.

I love Studio Village Dental care.
After years and years of going to the same dentist since I was a wee one, the Dr. Deerings made me feel right at home and happy with my change of venue. Since moving to the West Coast, I hopped around a few dentists and finally landed on one I loved.
I pluralized Deerings because it’s a family-​owned business with now two generations of Deering doctors on site to focus on your grill. Dr. Mark Deering and his wife Dr. Deering, and now their son Dr. Deering. All of which have a WONDERFUL way with patients and make you feel so comfortable in their chair. Family photos adorn the wall and they have a beautiful family, all with beautiful smiles of course.
The offices have the most up-​to-​date X-​ray machines and equipment — and that, my friends, translates into minimal invasiveness. You see instant video/​photos of your oral region which is very very cool. No old clunky machinery here.
The staff is nice and courteous and they remind you of when your appointment is near and stay on top of you if you can quite book your appointment which is great for those who are really busy.
The crème de la crème is they serve hot-​baked chocolate chip cookies after your cleaning. Sounds weird right? Hot baked sugar at the dentist? Well, they claim you should indulge in life… you just need to brush your teeth after. :)
With this indulgence in mind, I will keep coming back to this friendly family-​owned dentistry practice for years to come… hot baked cookies or not.

I just came from visiting him and I think him and his staff are really good people.
Griselda took my xrays and Dr. Mark Deering came in to see me.
He’s a very nice guy and he let me know what was goig on with my molars. He saw how much pain I was in and gave me some instant pain medication. Thank God.
I have another dentist but he is out of town so that is why I came to see him and he was kind enough to help.
He suggested I wait for my regualr dentist to get back so he can do that work but if I would like I can come back to him.
He didn’t pressure me and I liked that. He’s a good dentist.

Although it must have been what they experienced, I don’t recognize any of the negative reviews that are on this page…
I have been recently going to this dentist and have nothing but praise for dr Deering and his staff.
His office is clean and modern. The rooms are small but they have windows so they are light and pleasant. There is street parking — no trouble finding a spot.
Staff: very nice and helpful. They remember your name and what you are coming in for (I had a root canal and a crown). Dr. Deering is gentle, does a great job. He wasn’t sure I needed a root canal and tried to avoid it, which I really appreciated. (My former dentist wanted to schedule a root canal without even taking pics).
I also had a (deep)cleaning done by dr. Deering’s wife. She was thorough and did a great job and although going under your gums is never a pleasant feeling, she did it so carefully that it was real easy to go through.
I hope this review is helpful, for I had trouble finding a reliable dentist and reviews helped me a lot!
If anything changes I will update this one, but until then: I am a very happy customer and hope to stay with this dentist for as long as I have teeth :-)

I went here because my insurance was covered-​anthem bluecross.
After going in for a cleaning i got pulled into a deep cleaning where they clean under your gums and got a disgusting infection.
They shouldn’t have gone under my gums on my wisdom teeth but they did and we had already had a discussion about removing them too.
On top of all my pain and suffering associated with this infection caused by their technician – who was kind of nervous and did a poor job of xraying me in the first place… i kept gagging… they made me pay for it.
I even wrote a letter stating all that I had to go through – coudn’t eat solid foods for one week and it majorly just sucked and could have been avoided altogether.
Go here if you are a masochist.

Have to respond tho this idiot Karen M who put up a post on the right 8÷20÷09…
Sometimes there are just certain people that no mater what you do you simply cannot please. Dr. Deering has not had a family practice with hundreds of patients for 20 years because he doesn’t treat his staff well not know what he is doing. Maybe if you had taken care of your teeth you would not have needed 4000 x-​rays? Ever think about that?
As far as i am concerned, he will be lucky if YOU Karen M never go back to his office as he most certainly does not need patients like you. YUCK! Go to some big Beverly Hills doctor who will charge you a fortune and cater to your obvious serious needs. I have never met a person who has not loved Dr. Deering including myself… his staff are amazing and, maybe you were at the wrong doctor… I think you were looking for a psychiatrist, not a dentist. Duh! Dr. Deering and his staff are wonderfully kind and gentle people and sometimes people have nothing better to do with their time than post ridiculous comments as this idiot has on the right talking about borderline torture. If she really did see the doctor I am sure the review would have been much different. Get a life already. Dr. Deering and his staff are are fabulous and that is hard to find these days. Just read the other reviews.

No one is crazy about going to the Dentist, but you will change your mind after one visit to this office. The staff is great but most importantly Dr. Deering is amazing. No fuss, no muss… no pain and you are always treated with gentle, caring hands. I had many different Dentist’s before I was referred to Dr. Deering and I have been going to this Dental office for several years now and I will never change.

Ummm… I realize everybody has a different experience but my hour and a half in this office was borderline torture. First of all, they wanted me to get about 4,000 x-​rays but the two ladies operating the machine had no idea what they were doing. Over and over they placed those horrible sharp plastic things in my mouth and had me hold them in place while they zapped away to no avail. Each one had to be redone at least 4 times until I finally had enough. Clearly they had no clue what they were doing. When the doctor finally came in he seemed extremely thorough but when one of his assistants was a bit slow to react to his request he absolutely snapped at her in front of me. Totally kicked her to the curb. Now mind you, I was hardly a fan of Miss Incompetent but I hardly think it was cool of him to lambaste her in front of a patient who by then had lost all her patience.
A good doctor? Perhaps. A good experience? No way.

This office never ceases to amaze me. I hate going to the dentist and yet when I go here, they always make me feel comfortable. Don’t get me wrong, you still get the drills going and the smell when you walk into the waiting room but when getting my pearly whites serviced, I’m not sure if I could go anywhere else.
I’ve been going to this office for as long as I can remember. He has fixed all my cavities (don’t ask =\) and I have even had a gum procedure done here. As a dentist and an oral surgeon, I couldn’t give this office more props.
