Sacramento Magazine’s Top Dentists 2021

Amanda Gerla

“If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to?”

That’s the question Professional Research Services has asked thousands of dentists in order to determine who should be on the Top Dentists list.

Dentists and specialists were asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies and physical results. The dentists’ names are checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing with the board.

Here are the top dental professionals in the seven specialties surveyed: endodontics, general dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics and prosthodontics.

Ashley K. Joves DDS is one sac mag's top dentists

Ashley K. Joves DDS
Smile & CO.
Dentist

Practice: Dr. Ashley Joves had a vision to do dentistry, differently. Three years ago, she started Smile & Company, a dental practice that merged her love for people, food & wine, art & culture with her passion for dentistry. She also has a secret: “I’m terrified of the dentist. So I took what I fear about the experience: pain, judgment, pressure, and I created Smile & Co, a place where we take our dentistry seriously, but not ourselves.”

Atmosphere: Smile & Co. doesn’t feel like your typical dental office, because it isn’t. The vibe is fun and casual, where dancing takes place in the hallways, and laughter is heard from the treatment rooms. “I was always told that in order to be taken seriously as a young, female doctor, I had to act a certain way and wear a white coat. Based on our Google reviews and the fact that we have grown by word-of-mouth and our social media presence, I’d say we’re doing something right. I’m truly humbled and honored to be recognized as a top dentist in our area.”

Passion: Dr. Ashley is passionate about creating beautiful, healthy smiles. She invests hundreds of hours of continuing education every year to be able to create life-changing smile transformations, in an environment where patients genuinely love coming to the dentist. Follow her IG account @ashleyjovesdds to see her smile gallery and watch her stories to get to know her as a mother, small business owner and foodie dentist.
