Can't say enough good things about the staff, Patty and Dr Acacio. They are kind, professional, sympathetic to the patients needs and situations and more than good professionals, they are good people. God surely placed them in my life. You will be wise in choosing them.

Thank you Araceli! The best teeth cleaning around. Araceli is very thorough. Her attention to detail shines through every appointment. She cares about your pain level and works her magic to get the job done well. My favorite part of the appointment is when she uses the scraper tool by hand to really fine tune each tooth. Second favorite, would be her flossing my teeth. Man it feels great when someone else flosses your teeth. Seriously, get in there and try it. Mouth health is a real thing.

I first came to Dr Carson in 2019 for an extraction and an implant. This doesn't happen in one visit and the care I received was first class. Dr Derek Carson is always concerned with the patient's comfort thoughout the examination and dental procedure. He really is the dentist to see if you are afraid of pain because his treatment is painless. I was worried about implants before I went to Dr Derek Carson.

His explanation of the implant procedure really helped. This included building up the bone in my gum and placing an anchor before actually installing the implant. Carson & Carson's office has state of the art equipmen allowing the dental assistants to do CAT scans and Xrays with immediate results. Since 2019, I have had a second implant, so no more missing teeth.

I have to also mention the billing help I received at the front desk from Carmen. I have had some delays in payment from my insurance due to errors by the insurance. Carmen told me not to worry about it. Everything they told me turned out to be true and it was handled in a very professional manner.

This is the first time I have ever had drilling on my teeth with NO pain whatsoever! Dr Derek was even able to numb me without pain-you know how normally it feels like they're injecting you in your nose! Ha ha Ha I went here with my new insurance because I needed some things replaced in my mouth and I could not be happier! I highly recommend either office, I have been to both Camarillo and Oxnard and the staff at both amazing! I never thought I would say this about a dentist but I can't wait to go back and see what's next for me!

15 years ago I had no insurance I went in to get a tooth pulled and Derek stopped me from getting my tooth pulled and he said that he will help me the tooth was going to be pulled in my smile and he said you have an amazing smile and you deserve to keep that smile. 15 years later I had a new dentist in a different state and his work still blows other dentist away.

Almost every dentist ask who did that bridge and I told him my hometown dentist Derek Carson and they are just blown away by the quality of his work. Derek and his dad are truly painless doctors I never once felt uncomfortable with him or his father and they're just an amazing dentistry thank you so much for helping me out in my time of need.

I have had the worst anxiety since joining the military in 2005 basic training going to the dentist, I usually get sedated for taking out a tooth but something about the front desk lady made me feel safe. As they're prepping for the extraction the nurse assistant started the nitrogen to get me relaxed while I was thinking we were getting started, but what she did was turn it on low to relax me than turn it up to the point I was able to relax my body than I woke up out a Tupac concert lol.

This is by far the best dentist I have ever went too, I usually don't post reviews but I would highly suggest going here because they have everything you need in one place. The extraction was painless even when I woke up the next day and I'm usually prone to pain after any extraction needing pain meds but this is the first time it came out perfect and the bone marrow was prep'd for the implant and he put it in PERFECT!

Also I don't feel any bone marrow coming out like the last dentist bc I would literally be feeling it in mouth chewing on it not knowing it was coming out and every bite hurt. At this office, the one they did worked while the other didn't hold bc the cut in my mouth was also too far up. With that being said they changed it to a bridge instead of implant; meaning teeth that didn't need crowns got crowns on them which is the one that was fragile and broke, that's why I have soo much I wanna say about this wonderful dentist office.

I'm soo happy I finally found a place I feel comfortable enough to finally call home, I can now stay on top of my teeth bc I know I'm in good hands and my teeth can finally be cleaned and up to date. They're perfectionist in treatment at this dentist is soo awesome, I'm actually looking forward to him doing a tough root canal I need done so I don't loose it. Ohh not to mention I'm 35 and still have anxiety so this place speaks volume!

Thank you to each and everyone that assisted to get me in ASAP to help with an urgent matter, and also bc they were able to get me in the next day. I truly feel like they actually do care about their patients and the health of your teeth, not to suggest unneeded procedures that won't even work.

I happily drive down to Oxnard from Santa Barbara to see Dr Carson for all my dental work. The crowns and bridges I have are solid and beautiful. They use the most up to date digital technology to make sure everything fits perfectly. A family owned business, everyone is so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them!

So glad I found this place, everyone from the front desk to the doctors seem extremely genuine and caring. They moved my appointment up a few days for me just because I told them I was experiencing some bothersome pain. Dr Carson senior even came by and introduced himself and we had a nice little chat, very professional and freindly. Overall, in and out in about an hour and a half, now 100 percent pain free!

Even their waiting room was very warm and inviting like a home, not cold and sterile looking like a doctors office. I already told my sisters about my experience and they will be switching. 5 stars all the way.

Best Dentist I've ever had. Family owned and operated most insurance excepted and if you have any procedure done that's not covered by your insurance they work with you on small monthly payment plan, no hassles, no procrastinations, no sweat! I've been a patient of Dr. Carson(Derek) for well over a decade and he's squashed any of my fears of going to see the dentist.

His father Dr. Leroy Carson is my aunt and former mother-in-laws primary dentist as well. Looking for a dentist? Can't put off your aching grill any longer, give Carson & Carson a call. PAINFREE Dentistry. Huge office in Oxnard and also a smaller practice in Camarillo.both offices are very nice and give you the feeling like your at home rather than at a dental office, but behind the scenes they're ready to serve with the most modern and up to date equipment in the industry. Give them a try and you'll have a dentist for life!

Just move to Oxnard last night I had an unbelievable toothache so I looked up on Google 24 hour dentist and I got dr. Carlson is phone number I left a message with the answering service at about 11 and by 12 I had a phone call from Doctor Carson. I had actually falling asleep so I decided I would just call him back in the morning. In the morning I called them 9 I had an appointment for 10 that same day and by 10:30 he was pulling my tooth that need to be extracted. I fully recommend this dentist he's amazing and he makes you feel.

I just left the office. I had a 2:00 appointment and finally was called back to the exam room at 2:47. The dental assistant was entering data into the computer, she was coughing the whole time. She left the room for a minuter where she may or may not have washed her hands. Came back into the room still coughing, put a mask on then gloved up. She proceeded to either start a program on enter more data into the computer.

She then wanted to take x-rays, requiring her to put her hands in my mouth and touch equipment she was going to put in my mouth. I called her on this, instead of changing gloves she insisted it was Okay. I had the Flu for a whole month, I don't need to be reinfected. In my opinion this is poor hygiene. She should have washed her hands again and put new gloves on.

Both doctors, father and son (Dr. Leroy and Dr. Derek), are the best of the best. I have been to different dentists due to change on my insurance coverage, but i keep coming back to Carson and Carson (even if it means paying out of pocket, ) because they take care of the issues others can not or are not willing to. To be honest, their fees are actually low and their work far superior compared to other dentists. Furthermore, the staff is truly amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, professional. I am in good hands, my second family's hands.

I'm extremely happy with Carson and Carson Dentistry. I had a difficult situation with dead, crooked unsightly teeth. I got quite a few opinions from other practitioners but I liked Dr Carson's approach best. Surprisingly his prices were the most reasonable. I can't believe he was able to give me straight teeth. I saw the younger Dr Carson.

They give you only the price for the root canal when I asked for the total amount. Once the root canal is done, they want to you schedule another appointment for the crown -which is a mandatory part of the root canal- and pay extra money for that. I read reviews here and learned I'm not the first victim of this dishonest practice. I've been to few more other dentists later, they all give you the total price for root canal + crown. However, they did a good job with the root canal.

Carson dental is a scam. They staff that works here must be creating the reviews in Yelp to have prestige and credibility. I was diagnosed with cavities but after consulting a second and third opinion in L.A I found out that Carson dental was just trying to scam me and my dental insurance company. Also the DA's in here will take more x Ray's than needed instead of the basic ones just to bill your insurance company a ridiculous amount of money. Carson dental runs a scheme with patients and they need to be exposed. Do not come here.

Dr. Derek Carson is the BEST dentist ever! Pain-free, patience, gentle. PAIN-FREE! I am the biggest baby and I had a lot of work done, today. I am sooooo happy that I found Carson & Carson! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Carson and his team. The office is clean, the staff is friendly, everyone went out of their way to make sure that my experience was good. Did I mention. PAIN-FREE?!

Dr. Carson is very fast and efficient with his dental work so you can expect to be in and out in no time. Him and his front desk staff are all very attentive and kind. They will go extra lengths to make you feel more comfortable and that is much appreciated. I also like the fact that they tell you upfront how much the insurance copay will be prior to working on your teeth. I've been to dental offices before that wouldn't bother letting you know until afterwards. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for dental work that is not only affordable but always welcomed the moment you walk in!

If you guys have been searching for a dental office that has a great vibe, outstanding customer service look no further! Dr. Carson office is one of a kind from their front office that is always helpful to the back office girls who are so caring and patient with you. Dr. Carson removed my wisdom teeth under IV Sedation and I honestly don't remember a thing which is exactly what I wanted If you dread going to your dentist your definitely going to the wrong place!

Haven't done a ton of reviews here on Yelp, but I believe Dr. Derek Carson, Daisy and his team deserve recognition for the great service they provide here! After having many horrible encounters with choosing a dentist over the past 5-7 years, I truly believe I found one for life! Dr. Carson regularly checked on me during my visit to ensure I was not having any pain whatsoever and made sure I had enough medication to complete the job, which has been my biggest problem in the past.

Previous dentist would numb me up and start working without ensuring the medication had fully gone into my system so I wouldn't feel any pain. Dr. Carson was very knowledgeable about how long it would take to kick in and made sure it had, prior to starting. If you're looking for a new dentist that actually CARES about your health and well-being, look no further! Give them a call and see for yourself!

We are new to the area, and asked are limited friend base for help finding a dentist. Our daughter hadn't had the best luck with dentist, and we needed her to feel comfortable. Comfort and more is what we got. As a family we loved the place from the very beginning. We walked in and felt at home. The waiting area is like sitting in your living room, and the wait time is limited. The staff is amazing, doctors are amazing, very friendly and helpful. Our daughter has no compliants, we are there monthly now for her braces.

I had the best Dental experience ever with Dr. Derek Carson. I have never really been a big fan of the dentist but the whole office put me at ease. The sympathy from the front office staff to the extra care of the Doctor to not cause me any unnecessary pain. I feel as though my comfort and peace of mind was taken into consideration before any procedure was done.

He didn't bully his way into work but took a slower more cautious approach and explained each step as it was conducted. I entered this facility an hour ago with what I would rate as 9 out of 10 pain where I had to pull over during the drive over just to apply pressure. Now I feel like a brand new man and I don't have a small tooth changing my mindset on my day.

I can't thank the staff and Dr. Carson enough for taking me out of Pain Town and straight into Smileville, USA. I recommend C&C Dental to all of my friends and family. Thanks Dr. Carson!

Not sure what happened to my review written a few weeks ago, so here's another one: The bottom line is that the Dr.'s Carson, a father and son team, know their stuff inside and out. Look at all the glowing reviews on yelp, google, and demand-force. We're not getting paid to leave reviews, right? So perhaps there's something to all of the praise.

This practice has been devoted to its patients for over 40 years in the Oxnard area. My husband and I have had various procedures done here: implants, veneers, tooth extraction, bone grafting, etc. For those of you who feel anxiety regarding dentistry, there's solutions here at this office for this condition. Both dentists are licensed examiners for I.V. sedation, insuring that dentists who offer this valuable service meet the state standards. You're in good hands with Carson and Carson, D.D.S. And the front office is terrific at making you feel right at home, too!

Knowing I needed a tooth extraction, I was nervous. Waited just a few minutes in the office and I was escorted to my chair. Xrays were done in chair and Dr. Derek Carson told me exactly what he needed to do. He numbed me up with virtually no pain! Incredible, I was so scared and it was nothing at all (wow!). He had my tooth out in seconds. yes. seconds.

He talked to me every step of the way and was extremely reassuring. I'm now at home feeling so much better. I recommend him to EVERYONE! 5 Stars for this great dentist. Thank you Dr. Derek, my experience was more than I ever could have expected and will return.
