Clean & modern equipment. Great location & easily accessible from the freeway. Staff were very nice & explained everything from costs to post op. Dr. Avera is great, explained procedure, what to expect & was very gentle & kind! First graft & was pleasantly surprised that there was minimal pain during procedure, was very fast and amazing at this work.

I have been a patient of Dr. Avera for about 20 years. He has done at least 10 tooth implants. (Bad teeth, Lucky me) His office is modern and well equipped. His staff is friendly and efficient. I highly recommend him.

Jill, my dental hygienist, at the practice of Dr. John B Avera, did a great job cleaning my teeth. I was very comfortable throughout the cleaning and Jill regularly checked in to make sure I was doing well. Historically, I have a fear of dental cleanings, but Jill’s skill, technique, and use of adjunct therapies makes the experience very comfortable and anxiety free.

The staff was friendly and welcoming. The consult with Dr. Avera was great. He was both personal and very professional. He listened to my concerns and put me at ease. I haven't had the work done yet, but I would highly recommend his office.

I was advised by my dentist to see a periodontist for what appeared to be an infected tooth or gum disease. I was new to the Aptos area and researched periodontists.in the area. Dr. Avera had good reviews so I called his office to schedule an appointment. I found out that Dr. Richert had recently bought Dr. Avera’s practice. I met with Dr. Richert. He confirmed that my tooth was badly infected and advised I have the tooth pulled immediately. He recommended the extraction for the same day and fit me into his schedule. Despite my fear of a painful extraction, Dr. Richert extracted the tooth and recommended a short course of antibiotics to make sure the infection was eliminated. The extraction was painless, but he had numbed my mouth prior to the removal and he advised I might experience some pain in the next few days. It is now almost one full day after the extraction and I am not experiencing any pain, I am not needing any pain medication and there is currently no noticeable bleeding in the area of the extracted tooth. I recommend Dr. Richert for periodontal services without reservation. He definitely knows what he is doing.
