Most highly recommended! So far I've seen Dr. Pope and Dr. Erickson. Both are highly skilled technicians. I'd like to extend a "thank-you" and name the rest of the staff also, but with the skulduggery of the InterWeb, I'll thank them personally. My main objective was treatment that was as conservative as possible (saving as much tooth as I can, because technology gets better every year). Also, the modern imaging they use takes all of any guesswork out of the process.

Other dentists usually wanted to get aggressive when not necessary. Thankfully, I have not experienced that at this office in the least. One thing most people worry about is the numbing injections. Here, they use a topical first, and then the injection is literally imperceptible (+20 bonus!). Dr. Erickson should write an article on his technique, which is the most unique I've ever experienced.

He and Camille are an excellent team in "Painless Numbery". From there, it's a breeze. In a couple of hours, none of my crowns nor root canals (via Dr. Jensen down the hall) gave me any pain whatsoever. Next day, I had no discomfort at all. Now my teeth feel "back to completely natural" and my bite (my occlusion) is as good as it's ever been.

In the past my bite was always a little wonkey, but not here (+10 bonus!). Someone from the office even calls the next day to make sure everything is fine and that there is no pain. Nice! One reason for my current dental work was shying away because of perceived pain; and now I regret having procrastinated. I should have caught some of these things earlier, but unfortunately I let things get worse than I should have.

So far I've had root canal, ZOOM whitening, bonding a chipped tooth, changing very old fillings to new tooth-colored composites, CEREC crowns & even an implant. Seems I've had a bit of everything in the last few weeks. This is more than some might consider is necessary; but now I just want to do this right and maintain it very well. Huge improvement!

I wish I had done this years ago. I don't think I could be happier. I like that all the work is done in-house (except for root canals down the hall w/ Dr. Jensen). I didn't want to be seeing lots of different dentists for ortho, endo, perio, family work, etc. as was the case in the past. Easy to get to, easy parking. All bonuses. I highly recommend paying them a visit. Thanks again to everyone at the office!

Pope Dental was great! So professional, and my appointment was quick and easy to set up. Their website is also very impressive. I was able to fill out all of my first-time paperwork ahead of time. So the office visit went just that much more smoothly.

I had the pleasure of transferring over to Pope Dental after my amazing dentist, Dr. Julie Greenlaw joined the team. They are conveniently located in downtown Walnut Creek with ample street parking along with a parking lot. Service: Every single person I encountered - from the front desk to billing to the person who took my night guard mold and the random person who answered my phone.they have all been amazing. Office: The people make this office.

Their energy and vibe have been nothing but positive. It's like endorphins on constant circulation. Technology: I went in for a mold and received my night guard days later. They have all the tools in-house so the turnaround time is quick and it's cost-effective. I highly recommend Pope Dental for anyone looking interested in great dental services performed by professionals who clearly enjoy their careers.

STAY AWAY! Patient care and patient time is not a priority at this practice. My appointment was changed 3 times on my last visit due to doctor not being available, and they attempted to change my next appointment again due to doctor not being available. One would think they would honor their commitment, as the patients do, once the appointment is made, but no such luck!

I've been a patient of Pope Dental since the late Eighties and been very pleased with their service! Here's a example why, a short time ago I was flossing my teeth and a crown suddenly came off. I immediately called Pope Dental and they were able to see me within a half hour! Dr Mojica resealed my crown and thankfully, I was in and out in minutes! Thank you Dr Pope, Dr Mojica and entire staff for your great service over all these years! Raymond Cannata

The receptionist is extremely rude. I tried to book an appointment as a new patient and she very rudely insisted I must have a ssn to have insurance and that my insurance would never let me have an account without one. Well I do have insurance and my visa is in process. I decided to look elsewhere. You should take that receptionist off the phone she's awful

Dr Audrey Mojica is amazing. She's patient, knowledgeable and friendly to me, my husband and my kids. I research a lot around details of holistic lifestyle approaches to dental care and Dr Mojica is very educated and smart in exploring these options and give great recommendations based on our clinical needs. My kids love her, and she's very professional and have wonderful bedside manner. I'm not familiar with other dentists in this practice. We even travel 30 min to see her.

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Scott Pope for most of our dental care over the past 10 years or longer. Using state-of-the-art technology along with his top-notch technical expertise and skills / dexterity, Dr. Pope performs procedures efficiently and with the utmost care and comfort to his patients, not to mention providing superior outcomes for work related to fillings, crown restorations, chipped tooth repair, etc. Based on my family's protracted experience under the practice, I find Pope Dental to be reliable, honest and trustworthy. Pope Dental's staff have also been very professional, accommodating, caring and respectful.

During my last visits, the dental hygienist (Amanda) and dental assistants (Serena and Lisa) have all been great. Finally, Dr. Pope's referrals (endodontist, oral surgeon) also have been outstanding, with practices that are in keeping with, or surpassing Pope Dental's proclivity for superior service, quality and excellence.

It's my first visit here for an intake assessment for a major problem (i.e., implant) that will require a lot of work in the coming months. The staff (Dr. Pope, Serena & Julie) was friendly, engaging & efficient. Front end perceptions: + I especially like their use of technical outreach to complete the battery of patient forms, + their offering of internal insurance options on the spot--a welcomed surprise since I did not come with third-party dental insurance, + they had obtained my dental records from my previous dentist that jump-started my in processing, + they offer a one-shop, comprehensive set of services, + Dr Pope is involved in the local community. Off to a good start. Larry S.

I love the staff at Pope Dental. I see Dr. Mojica as my dentist and David, as my dental hygienist. They are always gentle, friendly, and take their time to answer any questions or concerns. The front office staff is helpful and friendly as well. The wait time is generally less than 5 minutes too. Overall, I get excited to go to the dentist because I know it's going to be a positive experience.

Dr. Scott Pope has been my dentist for many years now. He is truly the best one in Contra Costa County. His office is equipped with the latest and greatest dental technology around. Dr. Audrey is also an excellent dentist at Pope Dental. The dental hygienists, dental assistants and staff give patients exceptional customer service. I highly recommend Pope Dental to those who are looking for state of the art dental services, and even Invisalign, snore guards, and cosmetic dentistry.

I have been a patient of Dr. Pope since 2013. I was starting a new job at MetLife after not finding work for years, and I woke to find my dog ate my dental appliance that I used for a missing front tooth. I called Pope Dental and they were able to put a temporary fix that day allowing me to start my first day of work with out stress! My recent appointment to have my teeth cleaned by David who used an ultrasonic dental hygiene tool. I did not have any pain with my cleaning! Thank you!

Normally I don't review however with this office is is my utmost duty to the public to not recommend serious dental work at the Pope office in Walnut Creek. This is a new listing in the attempt to again confuse the public. Don't be a dope, don't go to Pope. I'm a previous client and enjoyed having a local office to visit. When I had need of a professional I mistakenly took Dr. Pope as one. Don't do major at this office, at least return with questions about the quality of the materials they use. Ask many questions and ultimately I recommend find another dentist.

This office is warm, welcoming, and amazing! I forget the name of the dental assistant, but she was wonderful. She and I had a wonderful conversation about cooking and Thanksgiving while I waited for Dr. Pope. I am doing Orthofx aligners through his office and am so glad he works with the company! My appointment was quick and professional. All of my questions were answered and I felt like Dr. Pope really valued my time. I would definitely recommend!

Dr. Pope and Dr. Mojica are great Dentists. What really makes their practice a great place for me are the staff. I have only been going there for about a year now but the staff treat me like I have been going there all my life. They always make sure that I am comfortable and have what I need. I am not a fan of dental pain and the option for pain free procedures is why I originally came to Pope Dental. I am staying with Pope Dental because I believe I am now getting the kind of dental care I need to have my teeth last my lifetime.
