Dennis Alfred Caselli, DDS

This review is long overdue as Dr. Casselli has been my dentist for many years. I am grateful to say I never once seconed guessed my decision to have him care for my dental health. His experience and professionalism is without question. Just as important, however, is the intuitive talent and skill he brings to his work. Rita and Dori, his longstanding assistants, are always friendly and helpful. Together, they all make going to the dentist… as good as it gets.

A few years back I had trouble with some fillings done by another dentist. I called this office and Rita, the office manager, was nice enough to work me into their schedule quickly. Turns out that there was decay underneath a filling done the year before! Dr Caselli cleaned up my tooth painlessly. Honestly, I did not feel a thing. Before Caselli i had never had work done where i was 100% numb but he got me 100% comfortable. Ended up that I needed a crown. The crown is beautiful. That was ten years ago and I haven’t had a problem since then. The assistant, Dory, is very nice and also keeps everything organized (I am a bit of a germ freak!) Rita knew her stuff when it came to my insurance, too. She explained everything to me up front and there were no surprises with the fees. These are good folks who know their stuff and will take excellent care of you. A real find these days!

I have been a patient of Dennis for over 35 years and he is great. I went in for an emergency root canal and it was painless. The staff is also outstanding and they treat you like family.

Dr. Caselli has been my dentist for over 35 years and has consistently provided thorough, top notch, personalized service for my highly sensitive teeth and gums.
I have recommended him to many coworkers and friends.

Dr. Caselli and his staff provide thoughtful personalized service. He was recommended by my periodontist who referred to him as «an artist». I have been very pleased with his professional services and the performance of his office, including Rita and Dory, for over 10 years.

Like Carla P wrote above, I was hugely terrified to go to dentists… did you see Marathon Man??? Well, more than 30 years ago a friend sent me to Dennis and «dentist phobia» is a thing of the past. I am 70 years old and still have all of my teeth and this is due mostly to the great care I’ve received at his office. I just say «mostly» because I DO really take good care of my teeth as well… However, when I have needed some major thing or other, and from time to time we all do need some wretched thing done in our mouth, it has been done painlessly and efficiently, I might even say pleasantly and yes, sensory deprivation is a big plus here. I would never think of going anywhere else and hopefully I will out live him so I don’t have to. Besides being a world class dentist, he has kept the same staff for all these years which says a lot about him and his work ethic. Also, I like them and look forward to a little spirited banter when I visit. As delightful and competent as Dennis is, sometimes his jokes leave a little to be desired :) which, in the big picture is trivial.

Dr Dennis Caselli haqs been my dentist for over 30 years. My confidence in in Dr Caselli is 100%. He is an excellent dentist that has performed many procedures for me. He takes great care to provide for the patients needs in a friendly, professional and caring manner. He takes the time to explain procedures. He has always been prompt with all appointments, I have never had to wait in the reception area. On multiple occasions I have called the office needing a same day appointment and they have always accommodated me. Dr Caselli and his office staff are the best. I highly recommend Dr Caselli.

Great dentist and office staff! I called for short notice and had a bad tooth bothering me. They took me in same day and took care of my tooth. The doctor was great constantly checking to make sure I was not in any discomfort. I left there so happy to have found my new sf dentist.

I came to Dr. Caselli with a damaged tooth from another dentist. It is always very difficult to correct and fix someone else’s error, but he approached technically with a measured plan. He has a remarkeable «skill» to diagnose, adjust, and correct the problems. Furthermore, he has a keen interest and understanding in the proper mechanical functioning of tooths, which is invariably unique to each individual. It is a level of perfection that I had not seen before.
He has always been on time, never kept me waiting, and has a professional office staff who are quite supportive.
I highly recommend Dr. Caselli.

Good work, helpful staff. I would recommend him to friends and family.

PAINLESS ROOT CANAL!!!
Dr. Caselli is awesome. I had some unfinished dental work from when I was in the Army and I was not too excited about visiting a dentist in general. But Dr. Caselli does amazing work.
In the initial consultations he was very straight forward and, for lack of a better word, «normal». Dr. Caselli is by no means a stuffed shirt but at the same time he is very professional and when it came time for him to get down to work I was completely comfortable and very confident in his ability and things went really well.
His office staff is also super friendly, helpful and responsive.

I have always been terrified of dentists. TE-​RRI-​FIED. That is, until I met Dr. Caselli. The man knows what he’s doing. He exudes professionalism and confidence in his work. I trust him 100%. He was able to fix a tooth that had been twice fucked up by 2 previous dentists. And when you have 2 different dentist fuck up a simple cavity, then you tend not to be very cheery about having to give someone money so they can drill a hole in your tooth and then not fill up correctly. He was actually able to save my tooth from what could have possibly turned into a root canal. He said that since the tooth had been drilled into twice, the nerve was very close to being exposed and that it might require a root canal. He could try to fix it but he couldn’t guarantee it would work. I have him the go ahead and thankfully everything turned out fine.
More importantly, not only did he do a great job, but it was also relatively painless. The previous dentist had been so painful that I actually avoided going to any dentist for a couple of years. Like I said, I was TE-​RRI-​FIED. Dr Caselli seriously hanged my whole outlook.
Also, the staff is very friendly and the general feeling is very inviting.
