Clyde L Schultz, DDS
Was it because we use the latest digital technology? Was it because we treat such a wide range of dental problems, from family dentistry to creating stunning smiles? Actually, it was because our patients contacted "Best of the Bay" to say that they never met people who are so focused on their comfort and well-being.

When you visit our Petaluma dental office, your comfort, health and smile are our top priorities. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with the personalized care that you deserve. Why People Choose Us-offers you the chance to read about the kinds of concerns and issues patients bring to our practice, so you have a better sense of how we can help you.
Services
We thoroughly examine your mouth, your teeth, your soft tissues and the condition of your existing dentistry. We take highly accurate, low-radiation digital x-rays. We can even photograph a problem with a tooth and show you the x-ray and photograph on a flat-screen TV monitor right at your chair. When we've gathered all of the information necessary to make an informed choice, we help you understand your treatment options.
We do fillings and crowns and replace missing teeth-just as you would expect from a general dentistry office. We also design brilliant new smiles for people who want to improve on what nature gave them, and provide powerful and effective preventive care for patients who want to protect what nature gave them.
Our practice is dedicated to the belief that dental care is most effective when it's performed thoughtfully and individually, one person at a time. The reason for that reality is that all people are different, with different problems and different needs. To understand those needs, we take the time to do something pretty remarkable in today's world.
For patients who have missing teeth and want the best smile, dental implants are the standard choice for a natural look. We work hard to preserve your bone structure, your healthy teeth, bridgework, and any restorative work currently in your mouth.

Because we believe that if you understand the bite, you can learn about the whole mouth, we make it our priority to not only perform thorough examinations but also provide you with all of the resources necessary to make an informed decision.As a Petaluma implant dentist, we are happy to answer any of your questions if you are seeking implants or dentures to improve your smile.
The problem with dentures is their inability to support our jaws as precisely as our teeth do. Our muscles pull our lower jay up, towards our upper jaw, but they have no way of knowing when to stop. It is the contact between our upper and lower teeth that stops our lower jaw from going any higher, and it defines the length of our face.

Save yourself a trip. This Dentist needs to retire. He is not professional and is quite rude.

A little over a year ago my husband had dental work by this dentist. After the numbing agent started to take affect Dr Schultz did the work on my husband's mouth. The lidocaine never wore off. His face and mouth are numb and it's affected his ear and his tongue. He's been to specialists to help with the situation with no luck. I wouldn't recommend this office to anyone.

I love Clyde and his staff. They are all excellent, and the women up front do an amazing job with taking care of billing insurance.

Amazing practice and awesome staff. Dr. Schultz is gentle, caring and explains exactly what is happening. The office has a great atmosphere. I’ve been a patient for three years and wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Did I mention the staff? They’re the best!

I'm in my 70's and my wife is close behind. We have been to a lot of dentists in our life time, but none of them compare to Dr. Schultz and his whole office staff. We wouldn't think of going any where else even though it is now a 9 hour trip. Thanks to all of you.

Absolutely exceptional dentist, office, hygienists, front office staff, back office staff. There's a reason you need to book your cleanings 6 months in advance--they are in high demand!! If you are lucky enough to get in, you won't regret it! Highly recommend!

I've been going to Dr Schultz since I was in my late teen years and he and his staff are fantastic.

He's been able to help me prioritize treatments so I can budget and is very helpful in explaining what needs to be done and when (as I pay out of pocket for dental.)

I had gone to a terrible dentist as a kid/early teen and he has been able to undo a lot of the damage that was done by the original guy.

I will always recommend friends and family to see him.

Tried to get rid of me because he didn't want to deal with me. Not a very nice person.

I've been in a dentist chair since a very young age. Until recently, I was on a regular regimen with my long-term dentist in Santa Barbara and after moving to the Bay Area I couldn't find a dentist I was confident with so unfortunately I postponed bi-annual cleanings.

After a recommendation from relatives I went to Dr. Shultz. His entire office from the front receptionist to hygienist were warm, welcoming and professional. Kelly, the hygienist, was very thorough and informative. For years I've heard hygienist call out numbers as they probe an instrument in my mouth but she explained

Dr. Schultz, Kelly, Tiffany and the whole staff are absolutely First Class. I've been his patients for many years. Never, ever nears of being disappointed at any time. Dr. Shoultz and staff ensure your safety and comfort. He has come to the office on a weekend to help me when I had a tooth issue. Is that awesome or what?
In feel great and comfortable that he'll be there for me anytime.

Meant to post this long ago, but Dr. Schultz and the staff are absolutely first-rate!
If you're like me - a skittish dental patient - have no fear! Go see Dr. Schultz and the staff! Really! Don't put off your dental work. because this office will absolutely take care of you and your family! My wife and I have had both routine and extensive work done and we could not be happier! We came from Sothern California and Phoenix, had many experiences with purportedly top-flight practitioners, but Clyde Schultz and the staff are vastly superior to any experience we had before.
Yeah, OK, I know

I was referred to Dr. Schultz through a girlfriend and even though I live about 40 minutes away, am so glad I was and am more than happy to make the drive over! Dr. Schultz and his team are truly and absolutely wonderful. I so greatly appreciate Dr. Schultz's knowledge, gentleness and patience. I have already referred Dr. Schultz to my Mom and husband, and would and will highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. You won't find a better dentist. Thank you Dr. Schultz!

I'm very picky about dental care. Too picky, really - I waited much too long to get my teeth taken care of. In light of that, it's been a real blessing to find Dr. Schultz and his awesome staff! Dr. Schultz listens and offers recommendations based on my needs rather than his financial desires. It certainly helps that his work is absolutely first-rate. Strongly recommend for anyone.
