Meet Dr. Carlson

Thank you for your kind comments.

I needed a new crown on a front tooth, and I am VERY happy with the result. It matches the other front tooth perfectly, and was all done in one visit. And Dr. Tostado was gentle and took the time to listen to my concerns. As well, his staff is very thorough. I would highly recommend Dr. Tostado and his team!

"Simply the best of the best. When you walk into the office reception area you know you're in a first-class environment - it speaks quality and professionalism, and that's the level of care you're provided. Thanks for providing superb dental care and having such a high standard of performance."

Impressive! The care given to me by both Dr Gilbert Tostado & Dr Acuna was truly outstanding! What professional & caring individuals I’m lucky enough to call my dentists!

Beth Dean

Dr. Tostado and the staff are very friendly and made me feel right at home! I am ordinarily very nervous about going to the dentist, but they made me comfortable, and I LOVE MY NEW SMILE❤.

Veronica Flores

"The entire staff is so friendly, and even ask follow-up questions about previous conversations from previous appointments (How is your dog doing since he was sick? Did you get that project done at work?) They treat their patients like family and you can feel entirely comfortable knowing that the well-being of your teeth and mouth are in this team's hands! Thank you 5 Star Dental!"

Caitlin Yount

"Dr. Tostado and the office staff are wonderful. Best service I have had at a dental office. The hygienist was knowledgeable, gentle and sweet."

J.P.M.

"My wife and I drive about one hour and fifteen minutes, each way, and pass a lot of dentists traveling to 5 Star Dental Group and I have done so for about thirty-five years. I do not hesitate in recommending 5 Star Dental Group to anyone who is seeking a knowledgeable, caring, friendly dentist and staff."

Bill Dean

"The biggest thing is my TMJ issues being resolved. I really didn't realize that I was getting so many headaches and had so much pain on a daily basis from TMJ! I only mentioned it to Dr Carlson because I usually have to use a little block during treatment. I went from taking ibuprofen every day, to not taking any at all after his treatment. I can't believe the difference. After years of ongoing daily pain, I wouldn't have believed it could have been eliminated by a dentist!"
