Iwashita Scott DDS

It’s not surprising that Dr. Iwashita has 5 stars. He’s probably the most «real» dentist I’ve ever encountered. My favorite thing is that he ALWAYS remembers you, and he personally cleans your teeth. That’s important to me. Dental work is expensive, so if I’m paying you for a service, I like to know that you’re the one doing the work, not your dental assistant.
Dr. Iwashita is no nonsense, very calm, and soft spoken, best yet, doesn’t try to work you over and make you pay for treatments you don’t need. A while back I didn’t have dental insurance, so I found a dentist that would do x-​rays and a cleaning for less than $ 90. That dentist proceeded to tell me I have cavities and needed a deep cleaning and all kinds of other «stuff». I didn’t fall for it.
When I finally found the good fortune to have dental insurance again, I returned to Dr. Iwashita. He informed that while I don’t have a cavity, I do have a spot of decay between two back molars, likely weakened from the braces I had 17 years ago. When I asked about a course of treatment, he said nothing. Filling that spot of decay could compromise the integrity of the tooth next to it, and he said if it wasn’t painful and didn’t bother me, we’d leave it alone. Now that’s honesty!

Dr. Iwashita is the most chill dentist I’ve ever been to. He is super professional and has the calmest demeanor of anyone I’ve ever met. I’ve moved away from SJ but I’m tempted to travel the 20 miles just so that I don’t have to pick a different dentist.

Dr. Iwashita is an excellent dentist! Unlike many other dentist who tries to «upsell» services such as deep cleaning and wisdom teeth removal, Dr. Iwashita is really ethical and professional. He is efficient, takes a great care of your dental health, explains to you your dental conditions and possible treatments, and makes you feel comfortable.

I’ve taken kids to see Dr Iwashita on three occassions. Once was for a cleaning and check up, the other two were for tooth damage and fillings. All 3 times, I walked away very impressed. Dr Iwashita is kind, gentle, and genuine. He is careful with the kids so they feel comfortable and at ease.
He knows how to be an excellent dentist and takes great care of both patient and mom. I would highly recommend him for all ages.
He has a great schedule so you don’t wait forever to get in and by the 3^rd visit, we feel like family. :)

Dr. Iwashita is the BOMB!
After several years of traumatizing experiences with dentist’s who were literally just out to make a ‘boat payment’, I was referred to him through a friend. He is honest, down to earth, and extremely skilled in his trade. He has the ability to make you feel at ease and relaxed, even right before he’s about to drill… heck, even while he’s drilling!!! I have absolutely never been so satisfied with a dentist before in my entire 24 years of needing to go to one.
Also, if you have crappy insurance, (like me) he is willing to utilize payment plans with no interest (which is literally unheard of in this day and age). It is obvious that he truly cares about his patients and their well being, and that he enjoys what he does. He doesn’t try to rip you off with charging ludicrous prices to fix your mouth (two dentist’s I got a price quote from before said 2 & 3K to fix my teeth — Dr. Iwashita did it for around 800 dollars!)
Dr. Iwashita, thank you for restoring my faith in the field of denistry! I will refer everyone I know to you for as long as you continue to practice!

Scott is an Outstanding Dentist. He’s so skilled and Mellow that You’d look forward to going, never is there pain or long waits. A better dentist would be almost impossible to find. He is never too busy, meaning You can get timely appointments, emergency response, and do not spend long nervous moments sitting in the waiting room. He is efficient and effective. Patient well being, painless treatment can be expected. Scott is very reasonable, His rates and payment plans are painless as well. So save Yourself Pain, Cost and Time, You could not find a better Dentist.

Dr. Iwashita’s office is efficiently run. I had other Dentists try to upsale, but not here. Dr. Iwashita is also very patient and does the cleaning himself so spends a lot of time with his patients. I liked going to him so much that I am staying with his service eventhough my wife also found a great dentist (her language need is different).
