What Our Patients are Saying
I was blessed to be a patient of Cyrus Oster and wish him well in retirement. I have had the opportunity of meeting Nathan, his son, who has taken over the dental practice. It is already evident, from my first appointment with Nathan, that he will provide continued excellent care.

Been coming here for years with the senior, now seeing the junior, ha ha… He is simply the best! He even discovered my jaw alignment issue where my jaw pops when I chew. I didn’t know you could see that in an x-ray, but he did right away. I would highly recommend this office and the office staff is the best. Thanks doctor Oster!

I had a sudden pain in a wisdom tooth, Dr. Oster took me in on a weekend. He removed the tooth in no time with no pain at all, even afterwards. Wonderful job – I never had a tooth removed and was rather stressed out as I was flying out on vacation 6 days later! I highly recommend Dr Oster.
~ Vaerie N.
Was in town for an event when a sudden pain in my tooth had me in desperate need of a dentist. Dr. Oster and his team took me in on short notice and had me patched up within the half hour. I feel SO much better now and definitely know who I will be calling next time I am in SC.

Thoroughly impressed by the skill, honesty and expertise of my new dentist, Dr. Nathan Oster in Santa Cruz. Nathan is thorough and explains the details of x-rays and planned work with care, and he and all of his staff are friendly and professional. Nathan Oster is a superb local dentist, and has a convenient office location adjacent to Dominican Hospital. I had the same dentist for 30 years in Silicon Valley (he recently retired), and am so glad to have found Dr Nathan Oster’s dentistry practice in Santa Cruz – highly recommended!!
~ Michael L.
Dr. Oster is very patient and great with children. He is very skilled and knowledgeable just like his father. We are blessed to have him as our family dentist.

I definitely recommend Dr. Oster. Being someone who is afraid of the dentist, Dr. Oster makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. He also gets the work done fast without any pain. The office manager is also friendly and helpful.

Dr. Nathan Oster is a superb dentist. He is careful to explain x-ray imagery, describes patiently what he recommends, and approaches treatment options conservatively. I’m a new patient, as my prior dentist retired early, and have now found a perfect replacement. I recommend Dr Oster without hesitation–as a bonus, his office is easy to get to (adjacent to Dominican Hospital) and has good parking as well.
~ Michael L.
Dr Oster is the best! He’s totally taken my fear of dentists away! I’ve never felt so good about my dental care!

My 14 and 12 year old love going to his office and happy when they leave.
In addition, he has an awesome sand table in his waiting room that is mesmerizing!

The new hygienist at this office is so thorough and really takes her time to get the job done. Thank you for the best cleaning my teeth have ever had. They are whiter too! What a difference. I promise I’ll be back in 6 months.
~ Heidi B.
A section of a back tooth of mine broke off recently. It was previously filled many years ago with a metal filling. The metal filling was still standing making it feel like shrapnel…it was very difficult to talk or eat…I called Dr Oster’s office and he was able to see me the same day! He temporarily filled it (to buy me some time until the permanent fix) and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It feels like my tooth never broke. I am so grateful for their stellar service and fast accommodation!
