Fetner & Hartigan, Periodontics and Implants - Riverside

My husband had 2 implants with bone grafting. Entire process took around 9 months but the final result is perfection. Never had any complications. He’ll return next year for another one.

Kind, professional, and supportive. Every member of their staff goes above and beyond to make sure the experience is comfortable, low stress, and... actually kinda fun. I’ve had a lot of major dental work done and have been living in constant pain. I’ve had really bad experiences at several other dental surgeons and dentists, so I was skeptical, but have been completely wowed by the staff and care they put into their work. I was referred to them to get an implant evaluation. They’ve worked with my primary dentist on a treatment plan that involved a crown extension, Invisalign, and two implants at the end of it all. The crown extension procedure was quick and easy. I knew what to expect of the recovery time, who to contact if I had concerns, and how to take care of my gums not just after the surgery, but going forward. Billing was easy to understand and there weren’t any surprises. Even on my evaluation day, they offered to squeeze me in for a deep cleaning so that I could start feeling better right away. And it did! I was sore the first day, but it was nothing compared to how badly it was hurting me to chew food. By the third day, I could eat almost normally, which I haven’t been able to do since I had the 2 teeth extracted about 6 years ago. I’ve never had pink gums. After following their regimen for just a few months, my gums are pink and I was able to proceed with the next steps toward my implants. No more bleeding when I brush either! I think it’s been so successful because they find ways to make it easy to care for your gums and are nonjudgmental. They genuinely care. I cannot wait to go back for my implant surgery! Thank you all for your time, kindness, humor, and professionalism. I am so very grateful for your candidness and support. Thank you for not belittling me or shaming me for my dental situation. It’s been a long, painful road and I’m truly thankful that you’ll be there to help me round one of the last major corners in a few more months. Thank you for improving my life.

The staff is so kind and professional. They truly care about your comfort and make sure you are well taken care of during and after the procedure. I would recommend this practice to anyone who is looking for an oral surgeon.

Can’t recommend this periodontics practice enough. Dr Fetner and the staff are professional, compassionate, and most of all they listen to you. They have been gifted with the skills necessary to do outstanding work. I am so pleased with the outcome of my gum surgery. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!

I have always paid in full with each of my appointments at this office. I was told at my first appointment (deep cleaning / root scaling and planning) back in January 2024 that my insurance was not accepted, which I was fine with. For some reason though they still sent claims to my insurance and would tell me a specific X amount to pay in office the day of my visits but then end up billing me for additional costs two weeks after my visits - claiming that “my insurance doesn’t cover it”. I had a gum graft procedure done with Mrs Hartigan back in May and had two follow up visits to check on the healing process, not once did she come into the room to check on my healing or ask if I had questions/concerns. A part of me feels like my age may have influenced the way that I was treated at the Riverside office. Being in my late 20’s I was not treated as well as the older patients. I wouldn’t recommend this location.
