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…

Great experience with this new dentist and took time to explain best options to replace veneers or crowns. She and her staff were very friendly and honest with billing and quotes. Cannot wait for my new smile. Kudos to the Dental Hygienest, Cindy who was thorough but did not cause undue aggressive cleaning or days of pain.



Great experience! From the doctor to the staff, they all made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in the right hands. Very friendly and welcoming, would definitely recommend. Excellent customer service!!!

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.

Amazing service, from front office to the doctor ‘ everyone was very professional, honest and no waiting. I had previous dental needs those were never diagnosed by the dentists and hygienist never did gum exams, new hygienist did full gum exam and provided some great gum care insights , Dr. Simran saved my tooth that turned into a root canal now because previous dentists never filled the cavity. Best dentist and team.



Just had my semi-annual cleaning and checkup. Excellent service, kind and gentle dental care.

I had a really good experience here, the ladies were very polite and caring. I was concerned about pain and getting shots but they made it not scary and I was not in pain. They took very good care of me.

We love the dentist and staff at Lakeside Dental! We always have a great experience. The staff is professional, efficient, and compassionate towards their patients. They have our best interest in mind and I appreciate that. I would highly recommend them.

This dentist is amazing. She is gentle but thorough on the teeth (primary qualifications!) but as a person she’s such a sweetheart! She’s so positive and encouraging and takes time to care about your life. She has done the whole process – no handing off or trading with a hygienist or xray tech. The receptionist is also very sweet. I’d definitely recommend folks to this practice!


I have been going to this dental clinic for years and the new staff is wonderful! Everyone is very friendly and personable. They make going to the dentist a pleasant experience.



They’re very friendly and professional. I didn’t get up sold, which I appreciated very much. I’m definitely going back and highly recommend them!

Love this dental office. The staff are wonderful and so friendly. I felt like I had been going there for years. They treat their patients well and take a personal interest in making sure the experience is a good one.

I have an interesting background regarding my teeth. I won’t bore anyone with the details but I was without good care for a very very long time. My second dental visit of my life was only a short year ago. (at another location) and this dentist was very mean to me. They criticized my brushing habits and the fact that I hadn’t been to a dentist, even after my explanation of why. and then continued to treat me poorly just because they thought I had terrible hygiene. (I brush everyday like I am supposed to) When I came to see Dr. Rocky after my 4 months of torture he was very much the opposite. He sat next to me and let me explain all the hell I’d been through and was truly concerned with how turned off I was. He took one look inside my mouth and found something my other dentist didn’t. Fixed it immediately, and almost called the other location just to yell at him for the awful job he did. He said they didn’t do a thorough cleaning and said that one of the fillings they gave me was now infected due to the fact that they didn’t sterilize before filling it and now I needed a root canal. YAY ME. Well none of this was Dr. Rocky’s fault and I commend him for being so honest and quick with his work. He has been so thorough in everything he’s done and never failed to explain everything. Always there to let me ask any questions. I have now seen him and his brother, who did my root canal, he’s a specialist and they didn’t want to take any chances. Not to mention I have brought my entire family here. They see his wife Dr. Cathy who is also wonderful. Please just come talk to them. You will not regret it.
