PATIENT REVIEWS

i knew there was a slow-building infection under a crown i had donw while in the military; dr. larsen found an abcess and did a fantastic job of resolving the issue.  we decided on a ceramic implant with a matching ceramic crown.  once that infection was gone, it was a breeze and my implant keeps on working everyday.  tp

Dr. Larsen, in my opinion, is the best holistic dentist in the San Joaquin Valley. I’ve been his patient for over seven years and always find he and his staff friendly, knowledgeable, and hard working. They are problem solvers for the best in dental needs. Dr. Larsen is an expert implant dentist also, and adds to my friendly smile!

We found Dr Larsen and so very happy. I recommend him as he can remove the silver fillings with the proper protection and with the skill needed and he put on the porcelain crowns right then, no lab needed. Thank you. The staff is excellent and very helpful. ps Dr Larsen also has very interesting stories of his experiences that helped him become the skilled Dentist that he is. Thank you. Mark Gibson

Dr. Larsen was recommended to me by a friend after I realized that I had an overwhelming amalgam filling situation going on in my mouth. Some of my fillings were at least 15 years old and the more research I did, the more I knew that I had to get those suckers out. I am so very pleased that I took my friend’s advice and came to Dr. Larsen. Not only is his office and waiting area clean, modern, and peaceful, his staff is extremely thorough and friendly and they always make sure you are comfortable. As for Dr. Larsen, his commitment to non-toxic dentistry is made very clear to the patient upon first meeting him. He genuinely gets excited about taking out those toxic mercury fillings. His enthusiasm for the health of his patients became very clear to me when he stood up to my insurance company in a way no other health care provider has. My insurance company was insisting that a tooth damaged by an old filling needed to be removed and replaced with a metal post implant–something Dr. Larsen found to be barbaric. They didn’t care about what was right for me, but the Dr. did. In the end, I was able to have my tooth repaired and restored in a healthy and safe way while having my insurance company still cover their portion of the cost because of the persistence and dedication from Dr. Larsen and his staff. Thank you Dr. Larsen and your fantastic staff for helping me on my path to optimal health!

Dr Larsen and his staff are amazing and I will continue driving almost two hours for all my dental needs. Thank you to Sam for being so patient with me answering the dozens of questions I had. Dr. Larsen extracted one of my molars and did some bone grafting. I felt no pain and it healed  beautifully. I love that he prayed before the surgery and God answered the prayer all went well:)

Dr. Larsen is an excellent dentist. He takes a holistic approach to dentistry and has low radiation x-rays, extracts the old amalgam fillings, and has professional and courteous staff.  I feel compelled to write this review because the reviewer with the one star does not seem to take into account all the other services offered at this office, and does not seem to have the good sense to fully engage a professional before writing such an unbecoming message.

i would recommend Dr Larson to all my friends and family in a heart beat. Everyone made me feel relaxed and comfortable in their office. That’s never really been the case in pass experiences. Thank you to all the staff and Dr. Larson. You are very informative and made me realize how important it is for me to take all the toxin mercury out of my mouth. God Bless.

This man is an awesome dentist. 30 plus years of experience and he approaches his craft with attention to detail, compassion, and sensitivity to the whole health wellbeing of his patients. He does what is right ,not what is going to make him the most money. He has been willing to research thoroughly the latest technological advancements in dental care, and apply them with wisdom for the benefit of his patients. I highly recommend him.

Wow, I love this office!  I had a tooth that my dentist said needed to be removed and replaced with a dental implant.  My close friend said I needed to go see Dr. Larsen for this because he is the only one in the area with the expertise to do a healthy implant.  After I went to Dr. Larsen, I learned why my friend was insistent I only have this procedure done by Dr. Larsen.    He removed my tooth and painlessly replaced it with a beautiful implant all in one simple visit.  I was amazed at his care and gentleness.  I thank God I found Dr. Larsen!

Dr. Larson has been my family’s dentist for about 4 years. My husband needs dental gas for most for his treatments and he is very patient with him. We schedule our treatments around our insurance as we each have 2 implants and those are expensive. Actually one of my implants didn’t take (no ones fault, just didn’t take) and Dr. Larson removed the post and put another larger on in at no cost for me. Sam and the rest of the office staff are great! We will keep going for years to come!

Dr. Larsen has really helped fix my mouth up and I’ll always be grateful. His office is impressive, his staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and he is both professional and skilled with both people and with his craft. He makes what he does as painless as possible and the finished results are premium. Being in such good hands, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Dr . Gary Larsen is a very conscientious christian man who aims to please all his patients. He provides state of the art innovative, dental practice with life time guarantee on all his dental work. All the dental procedures are handled completely during the same dental visit, because Dr. Larsen has the dental lab right in his office where he handles all the restorations including tooth implants. Dr. Gary Larsen uses computerized X-Ray equipment that delivers minimal amount of radiation. He also takes camera pictures of all the teeth he works on, and can help his patients retain or restore youthful or more beautiful look through various dental procedures. Moreover, Dr. Larsen provides Mercury and toxin free dentistry which is extremely important for maintaining and restoring health. I would highly recommend Dr. Gary Larsen to all those who are looking to restore healthy, look their best and have beautiful smiles for the rest of their lives. Very satisfied customer Ania A., RN

Wow! Finally! A dentist who believes in METAL-FREE dentistry. I had looked for decades! This is truly SO exciting! Dr. Larsen put in 4 ZIRCONIA IMPLANTS replacing my top incisors in about 2 hours. I walked out with the temporaries in place, with NO PAIN & A SMILE !!!! Let’s talk. People buy cubic zirconia stone rings but put junk metal in their mouth. It is healthier to put the zircon implant in your mouth & wear costume jewelry. Any metal in your body interferes with your “meridians”…these are the electrical circuits which run all of your internal machines, like nerves, brain, heart, liver, etc. Doc is the ONLY DENTIST IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA who uses this space-age material for his implants. Also, he uses only TOP GRADE ceramic material for restorations: crowns, onlays and fillings. These days it is easier to find information on the damaging effects of having amalgam — because it contains mercury — in your mouth. Here’s the “duh” : If old amalgam filling material must be disposed in HAZ MAT containers, why would you think you should have it in your body? Amalgam “out-gases” mercury vapor FOREVER! We wonder why increasing incidents of major debilitating disease surround us. We can stack the deck in our favor. Have Dr. Larsen fix your mouth to help your body heal so you can lead a healthier life. His mission is to have everyone have a BEAUTIFUL SMILE!! Please get his super TOOTH & GUM PASTE! You will love it!. He is my dentist for LIFE! Make him yours too!

Wow! What a wonderful dentist. I haven’t stopped recommending him since I found him a few weeks ago. I had a horrible experience at my last dentist’s office. To make a story short, I went into my old dentist’s office and was passed over to a new practicing dentist who went on to improperly place two temporary crowns. I returned to that dentist in PAIN. The dentist then said I would need a possible root canal, maybe even two. If any of you haven’t done research on the consequences of having a root canal, YOU SHOULD. I asked for options and that dentist said there were none. That prompted me to search for a better dentist. A holistic dentist was a gift from God. He repaired the bacterial overgrowth under the bad temporary crowns and saved both of my molars. I did not need a root canal. I just needed a better dentist. I have recovered wonderfully. He saved my teeth. The staff here is friendly and helpful. By the way, he also worked on my 5 year old and helped her avoid getting metal crowns that her pediatric dentist was going to place over two large cavities. I am now working on removing all the mercury ridden fillings. I could go on and on…when I found someone as good as Dr.Gary Larsen, I had to share. He is a gem to this community.

My prayers were answered after meeting with Dr. Larsen and his amazing staff! I suffered from health issues for years until Dr. Larsen performed his magic and removed my severely infected root canals along with several amalgam fillings in my mouth. Now that I am mercury free I feel 100% improved health wise. Dr. Larsen and his staff genuinely care about my health and are advocates for providing the upmost care for their patients. I’m so blessed.

Dr. Larsen is an amazing dentist. Just like a lot of people, the dentist makes me nervous, but I was made very comfortable. The staff is very knowledgeable about the dental material and equipment that is used. I did not feel a thing when I was given a shot to numb me up before the procedure. Also, I enjoyed the fact there are iPads in the rooms so the patients can use them as a distraction while he is working on you. Dr. Larsen and his staff make sure to accomidate to the needs of patients. I was provided with a Lumbar Pillow for my lower back so i can be comfortable. They also work with and around your schedule.

Dr. Larsen is a wonderful dentist and his staff is amazing! I have only had excellent care from each person there. They are professional, kind and very informative. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Larsen for my family and would recommend him to anyone. Also, I have not had to wait for more than a moment or two before being taken to the back for my procedures–which is SO helpful with a busy schedule!

Dr. Larsen is an exceptional natural dentist with vast knowledge in the toxicity of regular dental work, hence he can educate and clarify potential issues before they start or become worse. His approach supercedes, by far, the very toxic common dental procedures still used these days. Wish there were more dentists like him, I am thankful and happy to have found him.

As a retired Doctor of Chiropractic I wish Dr. Larsen had been available to me when I was much younger and was given amalgam fillings and root canals. These are things that are extremely harmful to your health and still most dentists do them. I’ve had two root canals removed by Dr. Larsen and he did that with great skill. His dental hygienist was awesome and did an excellent job of cleaning my teeth. I feel very blessed in that when we changed dentists he was very close to us in Clovis and we didn’t have to travel out of town to see a nontoxic dentist. I highly recommend him and his staff. Since I posted what is above I’ve had two zirconia implants put in my jaw bone and two ceramic crowns put on top of them. It took a year to have the root canals removed, implants installed and crowns put on with time for healing in between. Everything went very well and I’m very pleased with the final result.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Larsen and his staff! The office is friendly, efficient and welcoming. Dr. Larsen is the type of professional who’s number one goal is doing an excellent job for his patient. I drove from out of state to have Dr. Larsen remove a mouthful of almalgam fillings – a big job. He was able to effectively clear my mouth of mercury in two days with little discomfort on my part. So glad I found Dr. Larsen and hist wonderful staff!

Dr. Gary A. Larsen, DDS, is not only a good guy and a great dentist, with one- appointment crowns, he’s very caring, and will go the “extra mile” to be sure your bite is correct after new dental work.  Since I’m an old lady with TMJD and in need of many crowns, that’s very important to me.  I drive two hours to see Dr. Larsen, but it’s worth every minute!  The office staff is friendly and efficient, the office is well run, and they are almost always on time also.  I highly recommend Dr. Gary Larsen, DDS!!!

I was looking for a dentist that can safely remove my amalgam fillings. I googled for the info and Dr Larsen came up, so I booked an appointment. Dr. Larsen was great. He took his time and explained the whole procedure and made sure that I was comfortable with the process. He made me feel right at home. The staff was great. Sam was amazing and informative, what a great guy! if I had the time I would have stayed all day and spoke with him.

Both my wife and I went in for a cleaning. Jazz was both meticulous and gentle, not super rushy like most lazy hygienists. And she was willing to stand the whole time without complaining while cleaning my teeth since I’m wheelchair bound! Dr. Larsen came to interact with us even though he didn’t have to since we only came for a cleaning. He answered all my concerns regarding my root canal extraction. His office staff is very knowledgeable and efficient, not waiting until services are done to schedule our appointments, but doing them right away to prevent client bottlenecks like other practices. Best dentistry of all time HANDS DOWN!

Dr. Larsen is the truly, the best dentist we have ever been to. Before we found Dr. Larsen, we were refusing dental x-rays for the past few years because of the horrible things we kept reading about the effects of dental x-rays (even some digital e-rays emit radiation). We feel so blessed to have found Dr. Larsen!!!! He has now safely x-rayed my husbands teeth, our daughters teeth, and mine. His x-ray machine is so safe that the dental assistant stands next to you and holds it next to your mouth during the x-ray. There is nothing uncomfortable about these x-rays. They are the easiest x-rays we have ever had done and our insurance covered it. He recently replaced several of my white fillings with a much safer material than regular dentists use. We appreciate that Dr. Larsen does metal testing for the mouth, and that he researches and finds the safest materials he can get for his patients. He spares no expense when it comes to having the safest x-ray machines possible, and the safest materials possible. Our insurance covered most of it, and we feel that his pricing was very fair….for what you get. Our portion of the bill was not bad at all. My husband has needed an implant for years, but we were concerned about having a metal implant in his mouth. We have been reading a lot lately about how metal devices in the mouth can interfere with brain function and can cause all sorts of problems. We were absolutely thrilled to find out at our first visit, that Dr. Larsen has successfully been doing implants for years, that are not metal!! It is a much safer material that does not cause any health problems whatsoever. He also does crowns that are NOT lined with metal, so I have a couple of friends who are going to have him replace their metal lined crowns. My husband will be having an implant done by Dr. Larsen soon, and in a few years, our daughter will be too (to replace a missing tooth). All 3 of us just love how friendly the staff is and how caring Dr. Larsen is with us. We have been very impressed with Dr. Larsen, his well trained staff, and with all services that have been provided for us.

Gary Larson and all of his staff from the front office to the assistants were awesome! Gary is a get down to business kind of guy which I like because I’m not there to make friends. I just want someone that is skilled and knows what they are doing. One and done is my motto and Gary is a one and done Dr. I know that he’ll get the job done right the first time and I won’t have to have anything re done. He knows what he’s talking about and makes sure that you are well informed. He’s very meticulous and takes pride in his work. I waited about a week to do this review to provide an accurate review of my after results and I have to say that I feel amazing! My tooth and area surrounding it feels and looks so much better. Gary replaced a crown that was bothering me. Now it just feels like a normal tooth. I can comfortably eat on that side now. He also took the time to call me afterwards to see how I was feeling. I can’t wait to remove all of my mercury fillings! One more thing that I think is important to add is he sanitizes the are prior to placing the crown which is unheard of from other dentists but is a must.

Best dentist office ever!!! Amazing service and an educational experience!!! I truly believe their office saved my life!! Tom in the office is extremely helpful and after talking to him I knew I was finally going to a dentist that would help me. Sam, one of the dentist in the office, took time to thoroughly explain everything and even helped with recommendations for lodging, restaurants etc. Sam and Tom treat you like royalty! Thank you Sam and Tom for spending the time you did with my Dad and I! The entire staff is amazing and caring. Dr. Gary Larsen is incredible! My oral surgery was quick and painless, I walked out of there feeling better and more energetic than I have in four years! He had the infected tooth out in what felt like a minute and took a lot of time to thoroughly clean the infected area and drain the abscess. Once the infection was cleaned, he placed a ceramic implant in which took no time at all. Amazing experience!! I only requested to be numbed, so my feeling better after the procedure was done had nothing to do with any sedation pills or laughing gas. I feel blessed to have found their office. I am thankful for the amazing treatment and excited to finally not be in pain. I will NEVER get another root canal since I am finally educated on the health risk. My husband has seen the difference in my energy level and is wanting to have his root canals removed, not to mention his mercury fillings! If you have not researched the health risk for these, please do you and your loved ones a favor and research it, then call the non toxic dentist office if you want to feel healthy again! It has only been one week since my treatment and the difference in the way I feel is tremendous! I had an infected root canal that had an abscess for over two months. As soon as I noticed the abscess I immediately went to my previous dentist. He referred me to a specialist to have the root canal redone, well it didn’t work. My abscess wouldn’t go away and after 3 rounds of antibiotics I was still sick. My root canal had caused me pain on and off for four years prior to the abscess and I had gone to 6 different dentist that had said everything was fine and it shouldn’t hurt etc. I was so frustrated with everything and now scared that the infection would spread through my body if it wasn’t taken care of soon. I also experienced chronic fatigue over the last four years but never thought it was related, now that the infected tooth is removed I feel amazing with much more energy! This is one of the many reasons why I am so thankful to Dr. Gary Larsen and his office for helping me. I started researching root canal infections and came across a great article by Dr. Mercola. This is how I found Dr. Gary Larsen. They are worth the trip!

I have seen to many Dentists over the 68 years of my life, but Dr. Larsen is by far the best one ever! I love him! My health is so much better since I stated going to Dr. Larsen 8 years ago. I recommend everyone see him, who cares about their health. I drive 4 hours one way just to see him. He is that good!

Dr. Larsen has educated me in the many different aspects of how metal felling can do harm to our body. I normally also do not do will with dental working but him and his office staff make the visits very easy and comfortable. Their consultation are very informative with many eye opening knowledge of dental practice. They also work will with billing of our insurances and any co-pay needed. I highly recommend Dr. Gary Larsen DDS.

My mom always said that you need to know three great people to do well in life: a doctor, a lawyer, and a mechanic. But thanks to Dr. Larsen and his staff I now realize that list should include 4) a non-toxic dentist. Your first question is probably WHY that should be so, what makes non-toxic dentistry different and Dr. Larsen’s office the best place to go to revolutionize your views on dental health.  (While I am more than happy to be a living testimonial, I want to keep this review is succinct and helpful as possible.  But feel free to contact me about my experience with Dr. Larsen and amalgam removal.) So let’s begin with what makes Dr. Larsen special: HE’S COMPREHENSIVE.  Your first visit starts with an exhaustive consultation about the current state of your dental health and overall well-being.  His non-invasive X-rays provide a sweeping perspective on your current oral condition, one  you’ve probably never seen before because traditional dentists simply don’t work that way.  In most cases, you’re told to open your mouth and then your wallet for whatever procedure the dentist happens to recommend: cavity?  root canal?  cap?  bridge?  crown?  You either nod your head and assent or run away for a second opinion.  But rarely/never in my experience are you ever invited behind the curtain for an up-close look at your mouth.  I guarantee you you’ll never view dentistry the same way again.  For those who feel neglected because of occasional long wait times, I can assure you this is because Dr. Larsen and his wise assistant, Sam, shower you with attention once you are the focus.  This takes time, of course, and you need to be a little patient until it’s your turn.  HE’S CONCERNED WITH YOUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING.  Dr. Larsen wants you to thrive.  He understands how dental health can contribute or undermine your condition and will walk you through the whole history or your teeth if you’d like.  Your mouth keeps no secrets.  He and Sam can see pretty much everything you’ve ever done since babyhood and probably before.  Yes, they are opinionated because they believe in non-toxic dentistry…and for good reason. Having Dr. Larsen safely remove my amalgams is one of the best decisions I ever made.  In fact, it’s changed my life!  Few dentists have built their practice with non-toxic methods as the focus.  That’s why patients like me travel hundreds of miles to see him.  Look, I’m a guy who never liked going to dentists…and now I know why!  My symptoms of mercury exposure began in 2nd grade and kept getting worse over time…chronic fatigue, liver failure, memory loss, you name it!  Possibly like you, I wondered if having my amalgams removed would make a difference.  IT DOES!!!  For the first time in over forty years I am mercury free.  I feel fantastic.  My energy is skyrocketing, my skin is clear, my focus is sharp and my mood is upbeat and optimistic.  I owe so very much to Dr. Larsen and his staff — they literally gave me a new lease on life.  THEY CARE.  They are worth seeking out.  In my case, I feel I was called to find them because now I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else.  If I lived in another country I would fly to him.  When you go, please set aside your past with other dentists.  Be “patient.”  Engage the process.  Research mercury and heavy-metal toxicity and realize how miraculous Dr. Larsen is.  I can truly say that walking into his office has been a life-changing experience!    (This review is lengthy but barely addresses my full thoughts.  Again, feel free to contact me with any questions about Dr. Larsen and/or amalgam removal.)

This doctor is all about education and trying to give you as much food for thought as possible as to the scientific pros and cons of conventional dentistry and how it pertains directly to your overall health. Aside from that, he is incredibly skilled at what he does, with a jovial and animated and very fun personality to add to it all. If you care about your health and that of your family and friends I urge you to schedule an orientation and diagnostic meeting with Doctor Larsen.

I first saw Dr. Larsen as my dentist in 2008 on recommendation of a long time good friend. Suffice it to say, that I have spent my share of hours, in a dentist chair in my short 67 years. I had reached a point in my life where I needed dentures. But beyond that I had wanted the mercury amalgam fillings removed from my mouth because I felt they were and always had been harmful to me. Dr. Larsen explained several options available with their associated costs. I choose what was best for me and we proceeded to correct my dental issues. Because I had spent 23 years in the USAF, evaluating aircrew members in their job performance, I tend to approach other professionals with an observing eye, and even unconsciously rate their performance. From the first until now Dr. Larsen has been exceptional in all aspects. His offices are staffed with caring professionals who make my dental care their primary concern when I am in their office. I see them treat others with the same respect and concern. I have already recommended his services to family and friends which have taken advantage of his services. So if you are looking for a dental professional who practices healthy, safe Dentistry, then do yourself and your family a great service by considering Dr. Larsen and his staff.

Dr Larsen is absolutely fantastic as is his staff. Everyone there is just great. Not only are they all calm and attentive, but the good doctor himself also wants you to know what he is going to happen. He explains not only the issue and/or challenge but also the procedure. Before, during, and after But perhaps the most incredible and important thing is his passion for his work. His passion translates to his work and it is simply awesome.

I’m so glad I found Dr Gary Larsen! I’ve had two root canals redone and all my amalgams removed and my crowns redone there. One implant also. All metal is removed. He does an excellent job! Also he’s always teaching, which I like! Staff is great also! I feel like I’m now on my way to better health! Everything is done in a safe manor! I can’t say enough good things about him!

Thankful for a dentist following such safe protocols. I have been having two traditional root canals replaced by Dr. Larsen. I live 3 1/2 hours from his office and have made the trip several times already. (So thankful I chose him.). He and his staff are far more accommodating than any business I’ve ever dealt with in California. I have appreciated the educational videos and Dr.mLarsen’s prayers and high level of expertise. One huge bonus to getting rid of my toxic teeth was this: Prior to the removal of my first root canal my heart would always flutter when I walked into my closet where the wifi was located. Once it was removed I didn’t have this problem anymore. (I didn’t even know that was the reason it was occurring but now I’m pretty sure it was.). Also, my car is highly electronic and I always felt foggy headed when I started driving it. Same thing occurred after removal of the first root canal. Amazing what can happen to our body when we put things in it that don’t belong.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
