Doctor and staff are wonderful! Experience with them is best in class!! I have referred several people here and recommend to all who want to experience the best possible dental experience.

Very patient and explain everything in detail. Everyone was very friendly and helpful from the beginning.

Dr. Simran Pawar and her staff are awesome, you will not be disappointed. Dr Pawar does excellent work, she takes her time and gives you that special attention. Highly recommend!!

The office staff and Doctor were so kind and understanding of my concerns. Extra ordinary above the typical office experience I’ve had in the past. 🤗

The office staff helpful and n..knowilagsable. a little disappointed in not being able to fix my problem. Mabe on Thursday things will be better.

I am always impressed with the warm and inviting environment that Lakeside Dental provides. This is only my second time receiving services from the new dentists, Dr. Simran Pawar and Dr. Harpreet Cheema. Both of these doctors were extremely caring and thorough with my services. Additionally, the dental assistant, front office staff and the billing assistants were very friendly and helpful during my entire visit. Thank you all for your exceptional care!


I was a patient 2 yrs. ago to the previous doctor who retired from Lakeside Dental. I came to Dr. Simran to get an older crown fixed, who did a beautiful job. I liked all of the friendly staff-very welcoming and well versed in their professions. I liked the new , comfy furniture in the waiting room and lovely decor. So far, I’m very happy with my new crown and glad I chose them.

If you want to be treated with care and competency, come here. My yelp review is far more thorough, so just trust that this is your dental office – the place that is for you.


Alicia was so comforting and professional. She definitely deserves a raise 😁



Lakeside Dental experts in Folsom are Capable, Caring, Competent, Kind, and Concise. Even though i couldn’t use MediCal here, I was led to pay out of…


Lakeside Dental did a wonderful job of replacing my upper teeth with dental implants after 5 years of no upper teeth. I’d had dental trauma at some cut rate places so was very pleased to find Lakeside Dental where they listened to my concerns and made the experience so much easier than it had been with other dentists. Great crew!

What I can honestly say is that this dental office has by far been one of the best dentist I have ever been to. Normally when I go to the dentist it’s a stressful headache, filled with anxiety and people rushing you at Lakeside dental you don’t feel any of that pressure they don’t just treat you as a number they treat you as a person.Definitely recommend it 100%.

Dr. Simran Pawar deserves the highest rating. Thank you for gentle caring, explaining everything and patience with my scared daughter. Also, I am very pleased with all team, especially Ripple. She has been dealing with our medical insurance a lot and has done an excellent job. Ripple amazed me with her dedicated work and high communication skills which becomes rare these days. Thank you!

Very welcoming place! The staff is amazing! Dr. V did my cleaning and she did a wonderful job. Decided to go forward with them.

Very pleased with very natural looking front crowns. Dr. Pawar made careful adjustments to assure that the bite is perfect and the procedure was painless. Highly recommend!

Office staff are very pleasant and easy to work with. The doctors are very knowledgeable and trustworthy.


Staff here have always been helpful and friendly! They have always been quick to answer any questions I have and are willing to work things out if a problem arises. Today I went in for a cleaning and was taken care of by Alicia who did a wonderful job and made sure I was comfortable the entire time, very pleasant experience. Found this place on Zocdoc and haven’t looked back, they always have their patient’s best interest in mind 🙂

My new favorite dentist practice in the area. Have had trauma and anxiety for procedures due medical reasons and they were awesome. Funny, lots humor, little discomfort. Best my 2 new crowns are awesome, perfect match! Thank you so much!🤗

I’ve been a frequent flyer these last couple weeks between exam, cleaning, and fillings. I was pleasantly surprised by how the team took the time not only to get to know me, but understand my needs and even remember some of the things we talked about from one appointment to the next. They helped me to make a plan for my dental care that worked for me and my family (with a baby). Only complaint is they tend to stop working when talking which I’m sure some people appreciate, but makes for a longer visit each time.

Dr. Cheema is extremely knowledgeable & excellent at his skill. He was intelligent, very thorough in his consultation & provided all the relevant information regarding implants. Everyone was kind & very welcoming at this office. I would highly recommend.

Although, it was “odd” to have my teeth cleaned by new staff, after years’ with a very lovely doctor, I appreciated their friendliness and thoroughness.

Friendly, caring, professional – every staff I encounter. Treatment Plan was well explained. Throughout the procedure I was asked about my comfort. Follow- up care also well- explained.

I brought Marie in for her first visit with Dr. Cheema. After telling the dentist that she was 100 years young, he was so impressed by her, asking many questions about her life, it really made her day! She said that she’s never had so much fun going to see the dentist in her life and will definitely be coming back!

Friendly staff and so thorough! I don’t know anyone who loves going to the dentist, but if you are interested in keeping your teeth and being healthy….Lakeside Dental in Folsom is the place to go. They are honest and upfront with procedure and cost, which is refreshing.

The knowledgeable staff continues the care I’ve come to expect at Lakeside Dental. I appreciate knowing my dental care is in capable hands.

I was very happy with the hygienist (V) performance due that no discomfort during the cleaning process–Best I have ever experienced!! Highly recommend 👌👍👏

Amazing service! The care I received was top quality especially because I have sensitive teeth. 5 stars!

Office functions very well. Front office, medical staff, and providers all seem to work great together. Informative and efficient visits. Highly recommend.

Lakeside Dental is a small establishment, but that doesn’t make the service any less quality. Has a clean, quaint interior, with amenities while waiting. All staff members have been kind and informative when talked with. Employees are honest as well, they almost performed an extra CT scan on me, but they discovered previous scans they had taken and cancelled it, saving me $350.

Newer owners for this location but the new owners are extremely nice. They carried over all the original patients and have kept the quality I was used to from the original owner. Have recommend it to coworkers due to the location.

Today ive met the new Dr. V and she is really nice and caring..all the staff are friendly and super nice.. I highly recommend to go here coz they have a great excellent service..

I appreciate ALL the staff here. Alli, Erika, Ripel and the doctors are so personable & professional. Always a great experience here!

Friendly professional dentist and staff, explained what they were doing and why, left with sparkly teeth!

The new team at Lakeside Dental is truly amazing. As someone who has dental anxiety, Lakeside Dental made me feel surprisingly calm and comfortable throughout my visits. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, which really help to ease my nerves. The environment is clean and welcoming, and they take the time to explain everything clearly. I truly appreciate how gentle and caring everyone is. Highly recommend for anyone who feels nervous about going to the dentist!

Dr. Simran is great. She is very kind and explains everything in a way you can understand and apply.

I am very happy with Dr Simran and all the staff at Lakeside Dental. I recently had a bridge replaced. I previously had a reaction to novacaine and the dentist willingly offered an alternative. This is the first time I’ve even heard there was an alternative! Overall very satisfied with their care and highly recommend!!

I came in to have a very small cavity repaired and everything went great. The dr is always very pleasant as well as all of her associates. Very happy!



Dr. Pawar is extremely accommodating and very thorough. Also, she performed quality work ensuring the dental work is done right.

“My 17-year-old had wisdom teeth removal done today, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The doctor and staff were warm, professional, and made sure we both felt at ease. The procedure went smoothly, and my child is already resting comfortably at home. We really appreciate the clear instructions and the care shown throughout. Highly recommend this practice for anyone needing oral surgery!”


I was extremely satisfied with the care given by Dr. Pawar, She showed great skill, knowledge and described the procedure step by step. The staff are all very courteous and helpful… plus happy which always makes a trip to the dentist more pleasant. I definitely will return when I need further dental care.

I’ve always had an amazing experience here! Great work and very considerate. I even received a gift for my newborn from one of the technicians!

The dentists are amazing and the staff are super friendly and compassionate. The hygienists are very knowledgeable and gentle and the front office staff are great

Super nice, super clean, my teeth feel great! Haven’t been in years and this was a great experience!

The staff and Dr are amazing and friendly, the wait time is low and they are great at explaining everything

I’m glad I tried this office !!! Thank you for paying attention to details. Looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended!!!

I had an amazing experience at Lakeside dental. Got my front teeth veneer bonding done here. The dentist is very informative. The staff communicates really…

I recently visited Dr. Simran’s dental office for a routine cleaning, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff made me feel welcomed and at ease. The front desk team was warm, professional, and incredibly helpful, ensuring all my paperwork and questions were handled with care and efficiency. Dr. Simran was an absolute delight. She was kind, attentive, and took the time to explain every step of the process, which made me feel completely comfortable. The dental cleaning itself was seamless—painless, thorough, and done with such precision. I could tell Dr. Simran genuinely cares about her patients’ well-being, and her expertise shone through in every aspect of the visit. The rest of the staff was equally impressive. The hygienist was gentle yet meticulous, and everyone I interacted with radiated positivity and professionalism. It’s rare to leave a dental appointment feeling so uplifted, but this team made it happen. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! Highly recommend Dr. Simran and her amazing team to anyone seeking top-notch dental care.

Under new ownership & everyone was so helpful and communicative! I had a wisdom tooth removed and it was so quick and easy. Very happy with my experience!

I’ve been a patient at Lakeside Dental for many years, and am happy to say that the current team there is top-notch. Interactions are always warm and friendly, whether by phone or in person, and whether with the dentists themselves or the hygienists or the superb front desk team. They all seem genuinely invested in my oral health and wellbeing, always thoughtful with their questions, explanations and advice. Recently I made an inquiry about a benefits statement from my insurance provider, for example, and the Office Manager Felix immediately hopped on it and had a full breakdown ready for me by the time I returned to the front desk. Patient satisfaction truly seems to be the priority at Lakeside Dental, and I can confidently recommend their office and available services to others without hesitation.

Everyone at Lakeside Dental is amazing. The front staff was able to accommodate my schedule and got me in quickly. I got a wonderful and painless cleaning…



Got my tooth taken out at Lakeside Dental today. Zero pain felt. Great staff. Will be back for an implant in four months. Thank you. Highly recommended.

My first visit is A++ Wonderful staff and dental surgeon. It was definitely worth the drive from Grass Valley to become a regular patient. Caring, professional, and friendly staff.

Amazing staff here. Everyone is super friendly and professional. Procedures are quick and easy and the technicians are very good at what they do.

They are very friendly and caring .. as a new patient needing implants and a new bridge I must say they have made the process practically painless! I’m so happy I found this office and highly recommend the Dentist here !!!

Dr. Simran and her staff are wonderful! From the office staff to her dental assistants, everyone is very kind, attentive and ensure you’re comfortable during your visit. It’s always hard when your dentist leaves and someone new takes over. However, the transition has been great and so far I’m pleased.

Dr. Simran and Dr. Cheema are highly skilled and professional dentists. I recently visited their clinic for a tooth extraction and bone grafting procedure to prepare for the implantation of my third tooth. The staff was exceptionally friendly and professional throughout the entire treatment process, which exceeded my expectations and delivered exceptional quality care. Last year, we relocated to Folsom from Vacaville and sought a replacement for our out-of-town dentist. Lakeside Dental provided us with the exceptional dental services we needed. I highly recommend Lakeside Dental to anyone seeking professional dental care.

I have had a great experiences here. New crown feels fine. Everyone is happy and polite. Looking forward to my next appointment for a through cleaning. I have confidence in Dr. Pawar and she has not disappointed me yet.

I highly recommend Lakeside Dental to everyone. They are very professional, friendly, and thorough. Most importantly, I feel very comfortable knowing that I’m surrounded by an amazing staff who are caring and experienced. Thank you:):) Mike

Highly recommend! I have always struggled with pain following even simple procedures, so I was very nervous about having all the work required for a crown! The doctor was very patient and reassuring with me. After my numbness wore off, I was pain free! So happy to have found Lakeside Dental!

The staff is very courteous. I had to wait a little but it was a great overall experience. And easy to park and get to.


Had a great experience at Lakeside Dental and Dr. Cheema. The staff is friendly, and Dr. Cheema is gentle and knowledgeable.

Amazing dentist and friendly staff! My husband and I enjoyed our visit. I’ll be back for my treatment. Thank you. 👍🏻

The office staff and office manager, Anita, were very nice and covered the various options specific to me in detail. They were very thorough and answered all my questions.

Got a front tooth veneer done here, and the entire experience was seamless. The staff was warm and welcoming, and everything was clearly explained. Dr. Simran took the time to assess my teeth crowding and recommended Invisalign instead of veneers, which felt honest and reassuring. I’ll be starting my Invisalign journey soon. Truly felt like I was in good hands from start to finish. THANK YOU!!

Excellent care, from the hygienist cleaning to my wisdom teeth being removed the next day.
