Dr. Victoria Dillingham, DDS

The staffs are nice and definitely very friendly. That’s probably why I returned after my first cleaning to get my crown redone but I didn’t have a good experience there. The office equipments are outdated and I had at least five local anesthetic injections before Dr. Dillingham started drilling my teeth. Than as she started I still felt pain so she had to inject me some more. GahLord… I’m laying there crying in my head for my previous dentist to help me! I just wanted to roll off that chair and rush out. But I can’t because my work changed my dental insurance and previous dentist won’t take my new coverage.
I was so hesitant to go back to take off my temporary crown when my crown came in with Dr. Dillingham. I had no choice because she already started the job so I had to go back to complete the job. Thank the good lord that it was a simple procedure that didn’t need numbing. I noticed a lot of sensitivity on the tooth she worked on so for months I prevent chewing on that side. They also felt so much shorter than the side that wasn’t work on. Now I’m beginning to think if that will affect my jaws in the future. Than those tooth started hurting. URGH!
I couldn’t get myself to go back because of my experience there. I ended up calling my previous dentist and he referred me to one of his colleague. They told me the bites was not even and there was a space between my actual tooth and the crown Dr. Dillingham did, that’s why my teeth have been bothering me. They fixed it for me but I still feel the side Dr. Dillingham worked on is too short. I’m gonna have to wait so many years until my insurance will cover those crowns again to get them redone.
Just thought I share.

Dr Dillingham was my dentist for a few years in San Ramon. It wasn’t until she moved that I was forced to go to a new dentist. I just saw the X-​rays at my new dentist, of a filling that she had done last year to remove my silver filling & she left silver in it! OMG!!! I don’t know if it was a mistake, sloppiness, carelessness or laziness but bottom line is that I have to have it redone and I am not happy about it. And no, Dr Dillingham will not be doing it since she couldn’t do it right the first time.

Just checking in again to say after a year. Dr. D still rocks! Her office staff is still amazing and I actually ENJOY going to the dentist now. No really. they are THAT good! Keep up the amazing work ladies!!!

I was over diagnosed. I was told that I needed a crown on a molar. Thankfully, I was told by a friend to get a second opinion. I was able to go to another dentist that had integrity and fixed the small cavity.
Victoria Dillingham also did a filling in a tooth that to this day I think it did not need any work. On top of that, she did two patches on two erosions, one of them fell, and the other one was a hideous looking one that to this day I feel ashamed to show off.
I felt that I was being rushed when she performed the dental work. My review and someone else’s review, which were 1 star reviews, disappeared. I guess it was the tooth fairy. I do not know how she got rid of them but I do not recommend this dentist even to my worst enemy.
I have to mention that my insurance gave me a $ 500 allowance and Victoria Dillingham’s prices are so high that it would not be enough for two cleanings… that was what the front desk lady told me!
I guess we all make mistakes and my worst mistake was not getting a second opinion before I got the work done.
I will keep posting my review if it keep getting deleted.

Dr. Dillingham has been our family dentist for over 10 years. She is the most professional, caring, knowledgeable dentist I have ever had. Our family loves her because she treats us like family. She explains what needs to be done and why and has never recommended unnecessary treatment. Her staff is first rate and makes sure we always leave with a smile. If you are looking for a great dentist, look no further she is the BEST!!!

Dr. Dillingham gave our daughter a copy of the book she wrote, «The American Tooth Fairy,»
so she wouldn’t be so nervous about losing her teeth. Our daughter loved it!
After reading the book together with our daughter, we can honestly say that now brushing and flossing are no longer a chore, but a fun experience.
We really appreciate Dr. D and her staff!

Dr. Dillingham is a great dentist and a nice person. Every appointment that I have with her, she never makes me wait. She is very professional, experienced, works hard and deserves a lot of credit. Erin works up front and is great as well.

Dr. Dillingham did my first and only crown, about a week after it was done i noticed that my bite was off. I went back a few times for her to «fix» this, she told me that she had never heard of crown affecting the bite !! Well I went to a couple of other dentists and they both confirmed that a crown that did not fit well could throw your bite off.
I had to have braces on my teeth to fix the problem she created. There are may good dentists why go to Dr. Dillingham?

I started going to Victoria Dillingham for some extensive dental work back in July, 2011. First I had several appointments to have Deep Cleaning done which went well but was not done by Victoria, it was done by a gal named Suzanne (Suzanne was awesome) Next I was told I needed a root canal which was performed by a different dentist because Victoria does not do Root Canals. Victoria did the crown for that root canal which seems ok. Next, Victoria did 3 fillings on 3 of my upper molars in which I didn’t realize they need fillings because they did not bother me. I was told after the fillings were done that the teeth would be sensitive for about a week. A week went by and my teeth hurt like mad when anything hot or cold touches them. The Dentist instructed my to try Sensodyne toothpaste which I did and that still has not resolved the problem. I contacted the Victoria again and was told that the pain could last 5 – 6 months. I went to an Endodontist who took X-​Rays and did some tests and was told that the teeth should have and now need root canals for certain. Currently I have a real hard time eating or drinking because of the pain in my teeth and the headaches I get when I try to eat with those teeth. I originally asked the dentist to send me a dental plan of everything which needs to be done and they never did. After asking them 3 times to send a dental plan the sent me an e-​mail of work which had already been performed. They also billed my insurance for work not performed. DO NOT GO TO VICTORIA DILLINGHAM!
