I can without a doubt say that Dr. Jarvis saved my life. Another dentist had removed my wisdom teeth incorrectly, allowing a hidden infection to set into my jawbone. For six years I suffered, not knowing if I would ever feel okay again. It was a tough time in my life, and I clung to the hope that there was a cause, and therefore, a cure. I flew to San Francisco on a hope and a prayer that Dr. Jarvis could help where multiple naturopaths, dentists, orthodontists, and medical doctors had failed. He imaged my jaw with a cone beam CT scan, and then showed me exactly where he thought my issues could be coming from. This was crucial, because no one previously could show me what was going on. Some couldn't see anything, and some thought I had a problem, but could not show me anything to back that up! Dr. J showed me, and recommended a conservative surgical option to remove the infection. I was in surgery the next day, and because I was not sedated, I was aware of the exact moment when the infection was cleared out of my jawbone. I have never felt such a wave of peace and elation wash over me. It was the most wonderful feeling in the world. All this happened while Dr. J was humming out a tune, telling me jokes, and performing his surgical duties with the most expert dexterity and skill. He truly is a happy guy! I felt no pain that day, required no pain meds, and he was incredibly supportive in the post-operative phase. Not to mention how wonderful and caring the office staff were! I healed excellently, and slowly began to regain my health. I just passed the one year mark since this surgery, and I have never been happier, healthier, and more content. I needed to tell other people this story. If you feel like there is a problem with your jaw, do not hesitate to reach out to Marin Dental Wellness and Dr. Jarvis for help. It may change your life, as it has mine. Much love and gratitude to people like Dr. J and the staff at MDW. I am the man I am today in part thanks to the healing I received at Marin Dental Wellness at the hands of Dr. Robert Jarvis.

I was referred to this place for an implant because they are holistic. Implant process takes a while, multiple appointments, most places schedule these ahead. Well, no one scheduled my appointments ahead. Once a staff person called to ask me what one of my appointments was for most medical clinics take notes. They took out my tooth, no further appointments scheduled, and I had to really push to schedule subsequent appointments to get the implant actually put in. It took me MANY tries. It’s like they have never heard of scheduling ahead. Their doctors are always super booked and it’s really hard to get an appointment, you have to wait many months. I have a hole in my mouth, it’s not comfortable to eat, and the whole process of an implant will take a year. No one offered me a temporary crown. They don’t seem to care very much about my well-being. The dental hygienist had a very negative attitude too, so I went back to my previous one—she is super nice and professional. If I had known this was going to be an ordeal like this I would have gone somewhere else.

Marin Dental Wellness gets 1000 stars (not just 5!) I have TEARS OF GRATITUDE for this amazing practice! The experience at Marin Dental Wellness was euphoric, amazing, and actually LIFE CHANGING! I am filled with a sense of awe and wonder. This is how dentistry was meant to be! My young son had multiple cavities at a different dentist, and we had started treatment at a different local pediatric dentist, which was traumatizing to say the least. had been absolutely dreading taking my son back for any more fillings. Luckily I found this place! It was SO EASY AND PAINLESS! Because they have an "abrasion drill" which uses silica powder shot at high speed, the drill never even touches the tooth. Because of that there is no pain. Because of that there is no need for needles, novocaine, lidocaine and other drugs. Because of that there is no pain, no detox, no intense recovery time. They fill the tooth with melatonin AND homeopathic medicine AND THEN seal it with a tooth colored liquid enamel that they harden with a special light. IT was all so fast and easy. My sons teeth look completely natural, no visible sign of fillings, and he is happy and delighted. I AM SO RELIEVED to have entered the reality of pain-free holistic dentistry!!! One thing I will say: we DID use nitric oxide (anti-anxiety gas), which my son needed because of his emotionally traumatic past experiences at other dentists had him feeling extreme fear. The nitric oxide calmed him right down. Getting off nitric is easy, just 5 min of oxygen. EASY PEASY! So if you want nitric oxide, THEY DO HAVE NITRIC OXIDE, and you just have to be firm about it bc they will try to talk you out of it. In our case, it was necessary and worked beautifully to allow my son to have a calm and confident experience. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Hands down, the most wonderful experience I've ever had at a dental office. I was told by another oral surgeon that I would need all 4 wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Jarvis and his entire team took their time looking over my case and answering every question. I do not need my wisdom teeth removed after all. Finally, there's a team in the industry that does not over-treat, genuinely cares, and puts patients over profits. Highly recommend!
