We are thankful for the care and dedication to our child's needs. Their team is awesome and totally recommend for kids on the spectrum.
Dr. Soltani and his team are wonderful. After trying three different dentists for our adult son with disabilities we have found a place that really knows how to support dental care for him. No other dentist could do the repair work without anesthesia that Dr. Soltani has done. He is highly skilled, quick, thorough, proficient but encouraging and empathetic dentist with a cadre of skilled assistants that make the work seem easy where before it was impossible. Forever grateful for saving our sons teeth after every other dentist was unable to or just said pull them out.
Lovely people to work with. And now they have a comfort puppy! Adorable little red/white golden doodle. I almost can’t wait to go back!
Professional friendly
We are very happy with American River Dental. Staff is always friendly and helpful Our Dentist and his team were patient and thorough with us. Would definitely recommend them for dental care.

I really enjoy going to my dental office American River dental. The doctors are so wonderful to work with, and the office manager is so helpful with paperwork and referrals and answering questions. I’m going to be retiring soon and I’m very pleased that I will be able to keep my dental insurance and my dental office. Because they are excellent people over there. I highly recommend them.
All the people at ARD are very nice and professional. I wouldn’t go to another dentist
The staff is polite and are always professional and caring.
ARD staff was professional, friendly and prompt. I found the x ray technician to be a bit rushed with me and placed the instrument placed in my mouth, somewhat awkwardly with little instruction which caused some pain. But, she did share with me that she was the only person taking X-rays that day. Other than that small hiccup, it was a great experience.
Very friendly service very relaxing environment, dental staff, very professional and keep you unformed to every procedure. A great place.I would recommend you guys to anybody
I had a serious issue with one of my important and had severe pain. Dr. Soltani and his assistant very professionally removed my old implant and made another stronger implant and no more pain and discomfort.
The dentist was very nice and thorough.
I'm a long time client at American River Dental and have had the same team of employees that provides me with consistency in treatment and service.
You're the best!!!
Good overall experience.
Cheri is the best! I look forward to my appointments. Everyone in the office is friendly and helpful.
Courteous, Professional, Modern and Friendly
Brian is a fantastic and attentive hygienist. Thank you for making my experience easy and stress free.
This is a wonderful dental office. I have been going there for 30 years and everyone are coming in contact with has been kind and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good debt.
I appreciate Karen and Dr. Holm very much. They are caring and make visiting the dentist comfortable and a feeling of ease.
I felt very comfortable and confident Thankyou very gentle walked me through the whole process as he worked on my mouth, Thankyou.
After more than 10 years without a dental visit due to general fear, I was expecting bad news. Instead, I only needed a deep cleaning—and the difference was immediate. The staff was incredibly kind, professional, and completely judgment-free. If you’ve been putting it off like I was, this is the place to go. Five stars across the board! Thank you so much to the team at American River Dental for providing me with a safe space and giving me a new outlook on dental care, one that is far less intimidating than I used to think it was
Excellent customer service. Everyone was so helpful. They go out of their way to help each patient
The visit with Dr. Soltani was excellent, we couldn't be more happier with the professionalism, care, time and effort that Dr. Soltani and his staff provides for our son, Ryan. We feel so fortunate that Dr Soltani is Ryan's dentist. We strongly recommend anyone who is looking for an excellent and caring dentist that makes the extra effort, especially with individuals with special needs such as our son, definitely go see Dr Soltani. Steve & Karen.
Amazing place. Super friendly and helpfull for the whole family.
Very professional, courteous and friendly office!
Awesome staff knowledgeable and friendly
I have been going to the dentist since I was a child so I know dentist offices well and this office is the best of any. The staff is skilled and efficient. I can’t say enough good things about the people here. I have never had any problems and recommend American dental above all others,
It's only my first visit but I felt totally comfortable in this office, the staff were friendly and helpful. Dr Holm took a lot of time to explain things to me. They're starting in-house insurance from what I understand, and for people like me who don't have dental insurance this is a big help.
Professional, patient and gentle.
Everyone was welcoming, friendly and not rushed. We have a great feeling about our treatment plan and know what to expect!! Thank you!!
Job well done by Sherry
Response from the owner:Hi TruthBTold7, Thank you for your kind words and for giving us a perfect rating! We're thrilled to hear that you had a pain-free experience and that you're satisfied with our work. Your feedback brightens our day and motivates our team to continue providing top-notch care. We look forward to welcoming you back at American River Dental.
Cheri was amazing with my autistic son! Front desk staff is wonderful. Love this place!
The office staff are beyond amazing! Had an unexpected need to have a cleaning done for a medical procedure on short notice and initially they didn’t have one available but upon learning the reason they made every effort to accommodate me and were able to make it work. I am so grateful they also kept me with my preferred hygienist (respect to Karen!) and cannot say enough good about this team. Thank you for everything and will always recommend them to others!

I was not happy with my previous dentist and made the change to American River Dental. I had been dealing with pain for several years and had dentists dismiss my complaints as sensitivity and sent on my way. My first visit with American River dental and they found the real reason for my pain and started a treatment plan immediately. They are all so nice and really took the time to care for me. I am very pleased with the outcome of my treatment plan and will continue to be a patient with them.
Michael K.

The wonderful dentist I had for years at American River Dental recently retired & I had my first visit with his replacement, Dr Soltani today. I’m so impressed with his work, knowledge, & patient centered approach. He noticed a few little things & fixed them, & recommended a few changes to my daily dental care routine. I will definitely stay with Dr Soltani as long as he’s in practice. He gets a 12 on a scale of 10!

Our son was diagnosed with autism when he was 2 and dental work has always been tough. When we found out our son needed his wisdom teeth pulled we were very nervous. Dr. Acheson has Kaiser privileges and we were able to have him fully sedated. Dr. Acheson was very professional as was the office staff. Our son had no complications.
recommends
From the minute you walk in the front door the greeting is warm and you are made comfortable and any questions are answered. When called the greeting is warm and courteous. You are made as comfortable as possible , and the reception from the doctor is professional, cordial and a complete description of what he will be doing and you are asked if there are any concerns or questions, that are answered. Prior to dental work all care is taken to ensure your procedure will be as comfortable and painless as possible. A true blessing for some of us. For 20 plus years the work done has been of the highest standard by an incredibly competent staff and doctors! Finding this dental haven has kept me grateful from day one! Bob Drotos

I have been going to American River Dental for the past 18 years. I am so impressed with their professional, courteous and friendly staff, they treat you like family.

They keep me on track with my cleanings and X-rays so nothing slips by and turns into a problem.

American River Dental and Dr. Holm are awesome. I originally chose them due to their location close to my work. I found Dr. Holm to be a great dentist and stayed with them. But because they are not a preferred provider for my insurance, at one point I decided to find another dentist that is a preferred provider. I had 2 caps done by that dentist and regret it to this day! I decided the extra money was WELL worth it and went back to American River. Dr. Holm is extremely kind and patient and listens to you and is as particular as I am about making sure my caps are a perfect match to my teeth. I've been going here for about 17 years and love them! I even had an ex go to him because he had so much anxiety about going to dentists. Dr. Holm got him over that anxiety! I love these guys and won't leave them again.

After years of neglecting my teeth, I was forced to find a dentist due to a toothache. I was fortunate to find ARD, and Dr. Riach. He helped me through the anxiety, fixed my tooth, and I'm on the road to healthier teeth and gums. The staff at ARD are friendly, caring, and amazing. Thank you Dr. Riach, and ARD.

American River Dental was a lucky find. The building is inviting and the people who work there are friendly and professional. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to Dr. Holm for fillings. He was kind and concerned for my well-being during the procedure and I left there feeling good. I may no longer dread going to the dentist.

I went to two other dentists who recommended periodontal surgery. It was suspicious since I had been receiving bi- annual cleaning for the last 20 years. It appeared as if the issues happened overnight. I went to Dr. Holm who was also concerned about my gum recession but he didn't go directly for surgery. He recommended deep cleaning and more frequent regular cleanings. Within two years my gums became healthy again. And the best thing is - no need for surgery! I couldn't thank him enough. He was great!
