As soon as you walk through the doors the atmosphere is very nice. The lobby is nice, well lit and air-conditioned to get out of those hot days. Immediately after entering I started to feel relaxed. The waiting chairs are comfortable and cushioned. The lobby even provides a phone charging station for you. Instead of news being played that can leave you anxious, calming music and reassuring information is played giving you knowledge of different treatments that take place and even reviews from other clients. My first time in for a basic cleaning they understood how anxious I was and fearful of pain from past dental experiences. I was offered a numbing mouthwash before the cleaning even started, I hardly felt a thing! My second visit was for a dreadful filling experience. I have never had a filling before and I was super scared. All was well though, I was provided with stress balls to grip onto upon request and was provided Netflix, Pandora, and headphones as a distraction. Everything was to make sure I was as comfortable as I possibly could be before my treatment started. I absolutely love how there is a tap out system in place. All I had to do was raise my left hand when I was feeling to much discomfort or any sort of pain and my dental expert would IMMIDIATLY stop and talk with me to ask what was troubling me and to assist in anyway that she could. She walked me through what is going on and to make sure I understand the importance of what’s happening behind the scenes in my mouth. This is my third time here and I have experienced nothing but a good time. I LOVE my dentist and wouldn’t trust anyone else.

Had the Best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist. Their staff care about how u feel, and make you as comfortable as possible. I had broken teeth , cavities etc. I got the bad top and bottom molars done on one side on one visit, then the other side on the next visit. Absolutely top notch professionals at Maidu Dental. Can’t wait to get my Full gold crowns back from the lab.. If you want quality work look no further..

I have had very bad experiences with dentist. So much so that I start shacking in the parking lot. I've never been to a dentist in the past where they have not just about tortured me. I came to maidu dental and Doctor Luminita markham and what a difference. I could not believe a dentist experience could be like this. She is amazing not once did I have any pain or fear. She cared if I was comfortable. She was concern and made me feel so taking care of. She was the nices person you will ever meet also. The experiment was just more then I can describe that's coming from someone who would rather be taken down by a Rottweiler (I train dogs) than go to the dentist. Try them. You will LOVE them!!

Long time patient of Dr Markham, we looked it up today after my visit, 12 years!. Dr Markham is fantastic, took care of a filling today that had never been quite right that Dr McDreamy (he had really nice hair!) did a few years ago (no longer with Dr Markham). No charge as Dr Markham wants her patients to be fully satisfied with their experience. My hygienist, Tina, was cheery as always today. She was on time, actually even a little early. Very professional and welcoming. Offered to take my jacket and hang it up, asked how my day was, and generally carried on a pleasant conversation with me while she expertly applied her trade to my teeth. Midway through my cleaning she asked if I was doing OK and if I needed a break or anything else to help me feel more comfortable. I was given options for the polish flavor, she wiped my chin when the water was splashing around, and really just cares for her patients. After she applied the Fluoride flavor of my choice, at a reduced rate! Tina is amazing and surely deserves a raise for her professional manner, caring for her patients needs, comfort and her fascinating conversation. MAJOR PRAISE FOR TINA AS ALWAYS!!!!

Dr. Luminita Markham is very personable and always makes a point of greeting me, even if my appointment does not require her specific attention. Her waiting room is well appointed with currental dental literature and streaming videos. My recent appointment was to have casts made for a night guard. My appointment was timely and, as usual, all staff were attentive and engaging. Tre professionally, competently, and pleasantly, performed the casting tasks. I wholeheartedly recommend the dental services if Dr. Markham and her staff.

Excellent customer service from all staff and Dr. Markham. Staff always friendly and personable! To top it off I love the results from my Invisalign. I put off having braces until I was 59. Just no time and didn't seem important until I was referred to Dr. Markham by my dentist who told me it was imperative for my gum health and TMJ. I have been to the same dentist for 30 years and he had encouraged me to consider braces for many years. He highly recommended Dr. Markham. Since I live in Placer county I was happy I could be seen in Auburn for all my visits. In addition to the benefits I have gained regarding healthier gums, I have less jaw pain and for the first time in years and I am no longer self conscious about my smile. The time spent wearing braces flew by and I am so grateful the experience ended up being so positive from start to finish! Thank you to Dr. Markham and everyone at Maidu Dental!

I had heard about Maidu Dental from my wife. I was putting off making my first appointment with them for longer than I should have and I wound up having a large piece of my molar break. First thing I did was give Maidu Dental a call and they were able to get me in the next morning to get my tooth fixed. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I wound up needing a crown and everything was done in house within 3 hours start to finish. I felt comfortable and in good hands the whole time and I am looking forward to making many more appointments with Maidu Dental to keep my teeth in good health!

Everyone there made me feel at ease (and I was nervous, as this was my first crown). Dr. Luminita took the time to explain all procedures to me, give me best options for my dental treatment needs and the technicians were always attentive, asking how I was doing and making me as comfortable as possible. I deeply appreciate this level of service! I have not only had my dental needs taken care of here, but my orthodontic needs as well. I HIGHLY recommend Maidu Dental to anyone needing dental work with a caring Doctor and staff!!

My husband and I can’t stop talking about how glad we are to rejoin Dr Markham and her staff. The entire time you are in the office you are treated with respect and concern.. The care you receive is definitely 5 star on all levels. Every step of your dental care is explained in detail and you are never left to wonder about your treatment or the cost. We would highly recommend Dr Markham and her staff to our family, friends and anyone else who would care to listen.

If you've ever had an unfortunate bad experience in the dental chair, it will NOT happen here. Over the last 18 months, and new to this area, I traveled back to our Out of State Dentist for my six month visits. My husband had dental work that was not completed prior to our move, so he needed to select a Dentist quickly. After witnessing the care that the entire staff gave to my husband before, during, and after his extractions, we were both impressed and grateful. This month I became a patient of Maidu Dental. I have a fear of chocking, and mistreatment, so I'm not the ideal patient. The staff was kind, explained all that was taking place, from ex-rays, to the not so fun, periodontal deep cleaning. Tami was kind and considerate, always asking how I was doing, and when I needed a break, it was not an issue. Thank You Tami, and the entire staff at Maidu Dental - we appreciate all of you.

I really enjoyed my visit to Maidu dental. When I walked into the door I was immediately greeted warmly and offered coffee or water. The office is super clean and I loved the modern wood and brick decor. The visit was exceptional and I was thoroughly impressed by the effecinecy of their X-ray machines and picture taking, and how they take time to show you anything that might need work. Dr Markham was delightful and sat down to ask me if I had any concerns with my teeth, she took plenty of time with me and didn’t rush. All of the ladies in the office were incredibly knowledgeable and kind. I will for sure be back! Thank you! Tammi

I had a tremendous first experience here, and it began on the website while using the chat feature, and continued until the very end of my first visit. I can’t say enough about the professionalism of the entire staff. I truly felt cared for, and that I was important, regardless of my dental health. I’ve been going to the dentist for a long time, and I didn’t think there was much else for me to learn, but yet I learned something new and practical, and a big reason for this is because they share with you all the details, all the x-rays, and all the pictures they collect during your dental visit. This allows me to make super-informed decisions moving forward. The office environment is amazing. It’s clean and organized; it’s comfortable and considerate. I liked the complimentary coffee and water, the device charging station, and the educational TV program while I waited just a few minutes in the lobby. A few people came in the door after me and were greeted by name from the staff. I want to give a shout out to Andrea for all the help getting my first appointment and cleaning scheduled; to Carolyn for the office tour, consultation, exam and all the great pics of my teeth that came with it; to Tina for a spectacular cleaning, great coversation, and I really appreciate the “why” behind everything you did before and after you did it (“castles” and “moat”, if you read this :-)); to Ruth who provided a detailed breakdown of cost estimates for future procedures and the option of enrolling in their own dental insurance plan; to Linda who made sure I was begin charged appropriately; and finally to Dr.Luminita - you’re one of the best I’ve had the pleasure sharing my dental health with, even though I’m new to your practice. I appreciate your consideration of how my teeth and smile make me feel, and your intention of discovering what my overall goals and desires are for my teeth. Even though your name means “Little Light”, you made a large, bright, shining impression. See you all real soon.

Dr. Markham and her staff are excellent. They provide the highest quality of care. It is a state of the art office. I like the fact that I know I will always be seen by her, and not a rotation of available dentists. She is incredibly skilled and caring. I drive 30 minutes to see her and it is well worth the trip.

Every once in a while, we are moved to recognize and celebrate a job very well done! I’ve been a patient of Dr. Luminita Markham for 10+ years, and have had the gamut of work done for what might be considered average for a woman of a certain age. I’ve always trusted her advice and respected her opinion -- even for a healthy skeptic like me. To her credit, she’s helped me to stop, listen, and learn about the many exciting possibilities that exist in the field today. If you need a gentle advisor or skilled professional, she’s a natural choice. Most recently, I’ve gone the distance and straightened my teeth with Invisalign. After that, she did a little cosmetic tweak here and there, and now I have a gorgeous smile. It’s beyond what I could have imagined! The entire staff should be given a big pat on the back for the service and value that they provide to our little town.

I'm writing this review because after reading the reviews on this site, I thought if I could get just 50% of the service of what I had read, then this was the place for me. I was in a lot of pain, and I am so glad that I landed at Maidu! Their service and professionalism surpassed all my expectations. This is old school healthcare - the likes of what I have not seen for years.

Another enjoyable day at the dentist. Really. Teeth cleaned by Tina, who is very proficient and engaging. A pleasure have the work done by her. And she is always giving such good dental hygiene recommendations. She found 5 mostly shallow cavities. First cavities in decades. I was introduced to Met Dr Mercado and his assistant Tre who dealt with the new cavities immediately. I received a thorough review of the procedures and the work was promptly, very professionally, and painlessly completed. I was advised of each step as they proceeded and constantly monotured for comfort. I cannot conceive of better dental care. A sincere thanks to all. Tom Backer

I could not be more pleased with Maidu Dental. The fact that they know about and use the best and latest techniques is only part of the package. They make sure that I only have good experiences, no pain or discomfort and excellent results. Everyone I have dealt with has been a winner--Dr. Luminita Markham, Dr. Alex Pacheco, the dental assistants and hygienists, the office staff--each has done an outstanding, quality job each time I have gone in. I drive a good bit to get there, but it is well worth it. I have recommended Maidu Dental to others and will continue to do so.

I love the staff here. They make me doll feel so welcome and answer all my questions. I have a lot of work to be done and feel self conscious about my teeth but the staff is making me feel better and making a plan for me to get back on track. It's a nice change to not be put down and be worked with. The staff is also amazing with my 3 year old and made him feel at ease which was great!

I love Maidu Dental and have known these employees ever since I was a young kid in Auburn.

My family and I have been under the care of Dr Luminta Markham for several years now. We all agree she and her staff are the best there is. She is extremely skilled, patient, conscientious, caring and effective. She has shown us that dental procedures can be painless. They use the latest state of the art equipment which is amazing. Very pleasant environment with a great staff.

If I could give Dr. Markham and her team 10 stars I would but only 5 are allowed. I have had several crowns replaced by Dr. Markham and the quality of work is incredible! Her equipment is all state of the art and the attention to detail Dr. Markham provides is remarkable. I felt so relaxed during my appointment which was due to the confidence Dr. Markham exudes. I will continue to return to Dr. Markham for years to come. I would definitely recommend Dr. Markham to anyone that is in need of top notch quality care.

Dr. Markham and her staff were very professional and detail oriented. They have always done an excellent job on my teeth and this was no exception. However during this recent visit they used a new device that looks like the tube doctors put down your throat during surgery instead of the plastic reservoir they have used in the past. They failed to explain what this was. They just pushed it in my mouth and I was very freaked by this. However once it was in place I got used to it and it was turned out to be better than the reservoir. My point is they should explain any new device or procedure to their patients prior to starting the work.

Always a warm, welcoming experience.. A WOW experience I must say... from my teeth cleaning with Tina the hygienist to Dr. Luminita who did such an amazing job on my smile. Absolutely worth the drive across town to my dental appointments. Time well spent and to walk out feeling like a million bucks! Thank you! This is the place to be!
