What Our Patients Say
Best office in town hands down! Everyone is wonderful and very helpful and knowledgeable. Tj and Ashley at the front desk are always so accommodating and willing to make appointments work with changing schedules. I always enjoy getting my teeth cleaned by Sierra. She's very thorough but also very gentle and leaves my teeth squeaky clean!
I needed emergency treatment and was able to get an appointment just a few hours later and did not have a long wait once there. They did fantastic work and everyone was do friendly. Will definitely be using them for all future dental needs
Always a pleasure dealing with entire staff!
On time, efficient, professional and friendly.

The reason I'm writing this review, (several months after getting a tooth removed), is a friend of mine currently has an aching tooth, and out here in the Bay Area, finding a good dentist that has reasonable prices is like, well, pulling teeth.
So I was telling him about the two incredible experiences at had at this dental office in Oakdale, California...
Guess what, it is sooo worth driving the 80+ miles to get this quality of dental care that tomorrow morning we're gonna do it; journey out to Oakdale from Hayward, because these people here are that good.
Contrast & compare the stark difference experienced in the Bay Area; the continual flack, lack of bedside manners, and generally giving off the air that they do not like their jobs, it's a wonder that NCal Ortho has a customer base at all.
I highly recommend Blackheart, Albertoni & Corso dentistry. Quality care at very reasonable prices.

Well i went all in on Invisalign. This is my 3rd week wearing them. I always thought Invisalign was just two pieces of plastic that you wore over your teeth for some time.
Now I wonder, "but how would that work?:
Well, it wouldn't.
Come to find, Invisalign is several months or more of plastic moldings that you change every 4 days or so. The first plastic molding is almost identical to what your teeth look like in your mouth at the beginning. The last plastic molding is what your teeth will look like at the end of the treatment.
Currently on set 5 of 33. If all goes according to plan, I should have a nice set of near perfect white teeth by the end of November/ early December.
If you're trying to decide between regular metal braces, or Invisalign, you might wanna consider this:
Pros
Invisalign is
- less expensive
- less invasive (you can take them out, if you so desire)
- they are hardly noticeable (this may be important to your kid(s)
- it seems like it is faster than standard metal braces
- you don't have to keep frequenting your dentist to have your braces tightened.
Cons
If you're middle aged, nothing takes 10 years off your age like a set of goofy metal braces. Add to that an adolescent demeanor, and you just might start getting carded again.
Whatever you choose, just know that the teams at this dentist office are the professional artisans of their craft. I used to really dread going to the dentist.
I dread no more.
I no longer get anxious at the thought of going to the dentist, (this dentist anyway. I suppose if I didn't have these peeps as my dentist, I might get that phobia back).
The people here care about your comfort. They care about your state of mind. They understand that it's difficult for some people to go to the dentat. They've got great bedside manners. They'll put your fears at ease.
Which brings me to my last observation;
I'm not so sure they are taking on new customers at this time. I see the hundreds & hundreds of patient files on the shelves. You will have to call and ask if they have any openings for new customers.

This dental office has been my go to for over 25 years. The office staff are always professional and helpful, the dentists are knowledgeable and pain free. My hygienist, Corissa is the best I've ever had.
My experience from the time I walked into the office and left was amazing. I had a sense of comfort, and knew I was in good hands! This was so important for me, since going to the dentist can stress me out a bit. I highly recommend them!!
Update! I just had my teeth worked, and I never felt a thing! I was having a lot of pain near my teeth, because of a couple of cavities. Dr. Blackhart fixed them, and now I am at 100%! I will be a lifelong patient to this practice!

I just want to say how pleased I was with the treatment I received from Dr. Morgan. She explained every step of the procedure and although it was a tricky one, she did a great job! Unfortunately, I don't live in this area, otherwise she would be my pick for dentist. Highly recommend.
Today I visited Blackhart Dentistry to get my Invisalign installed. I admit I was a little nervous about this whole procedure, I’ve always been a person with little to no dental or tooth issues (have had only one cavity) so I never get anxious about dental appointments. First I totally appreciate how Dr. Blackhart shared the process and his own Invisalign experiences at my last appointment. Kayla was the hygienist that prepped my teeth and attached the tabs. She was friendly, knowledgeable and we even shared a few laughs about me feeling as if I were a part of a Wallace & Gromit cartoon! If you’ve had your mouth stretched beyond recognition you will know what I mean! Anyway she explained each step as she worked through the process, which diminished my anxiousness. Dr came in to check things out and perform the fine tuning. With Kayla’s assistance, I practiced putting the trays in and taking them out. With one last procedural review I was out the door, Invisalign bag in hand. They do feel very strange in my mouth, but so far so good! I recommend Dr. Blackhart Dentistry to anyone who is looking to get Invisalign treatment or a good local dentist.
