Every aspect of your visit is carefully designed to provide comfort and confidence whether you’re here for a regular check-up or asleep for more complex treatment.

We specialize in family dentistry, intravenous sedation, helping people overcome their dental fears and orthodontics.

American River Dental in Rancho Cordova

Our location makes it easy for ANYONE in the Sacramento area to come see us for quality dentistry.

Thorough, informative, and kind
Dr. Holmes is very patient, kind and accommodating. He took the time to listen to my concerns without rushing and took care of my issues.His calm and thoughtful approach helped ease my anxiety. Thank you.

Brought my husband and I here to do some repairs another dentist in Colorado botched. My husband has severe anxiety with dentists and was completely at ease...
I’ve been a patient of Dr Holm for over 10 years. He is an excellent dentist and I recommend him to everyone. Dr Holm and his staff of American River Dental are wonderful. They are caring individuals who greet you with a smile and understanding of your needs.
I just did what the dentist said to do at the previous visit which was flossing regularly and brushing and everything worked out for this visit.
Cherie is so personable and caring! She is the best.
Been coming here for over twenty years with the best service you could ask for.
I was very happy with the dentist, he went over everything with me and I was able to understand.
Best dentistry practice ever! Kind, attentive, sensitive health care professionals! I won’t go anywhere else! Shari was so receptive to my “issues”, and made my appointment a breeze! ❤️
I love Dr. Holms, Great listener and he answered all my questions during our consultation. Very caring and personable.
I’ve been bringing my autistic brother here for over a year and half and we both love this office and team! He’s had severe dental anxiety his whole life and has always required pre-meds just to get him into the office. The entire team is absolutely amazing! From the front desk to the assistants, hygienists and Dr. Soltani in the back, they always make sure he feels welcome and comfortable throughout the procedure. It has completely shifted his mindset of going to the dentist. Today was his first appointment for a cleaning with absolutely NO anxiety meds or sedation of any kind, which is a HUGE milestone for us. If you have anyone with special needs in your family, this is be dental office for you!
I’m a new patient at American River Dental, I went to have an upper denture made to replace my broken one. I did a lot of searching for the right dentist and I found them. I was greeted as soon as I walked in.they made me feel welcome and made sure I had what I needed to be comfortable. I highly recommend American River Dental if your looking for a wonderful dentist.
The thoroughness of the care by the hygienists and the followup by the officer manager, Mike, keep me coming. Back
Very professional and wiiling to work around disability.
The professional and front office staff at American River Dental were all fabulous today. My brother, who has special needs, was the patient today, and he was treated with respect and kindness. The procedures he will undergo were explained clearly and thoroughly. We left feeling very glad we chose American River Dental.
All the staff and doctors at American River Dental were great. Very pleasant and caring. They took great care of my toothache and even went the extra mile with additional care. Dr. Soltani took his time and explained everything to me, and the Dental Assistant, Cindy, was awesome. I am definitely going to make them my new dentist and I would highly recommend American River Dental to anyone who needs dental care. They are top knoch!
No pain. Job well done
Everyone was very nice, professional and made me feel comfortable. We have a plan for my dental journey .
They did a great job taking care of my son who Had his wisdom teeth pulled . Very polite staff and gave me all the information I need when I had any questions and made me feel comfortable being there.
My 38 yr old son has disabilities. It's difficult to find a caring and compassionate dentist for our community. He hadn't seen a dentist in over 5 yrs. He sat for x-rays with Natalie, who took her time with him. She was very kind and patient. Dr. Saltani was equally wonderful. I'm so grateful to find American River Dental.
The office is inviting and the care is excellent.
Really happy with my son's dental check-up today. The clinic is clean, the staff are kind, and everything felt really organized. Dr. Soltani explained everything clearly and didn't rush through the appointment. It's nice to feel cared for. I trust them completely with my son's dental health.
The team was pleasant and accommodating. My son is on the autism spectrum and has some challenges at dentist appointments but the staff were both patient and kind.
The people make this a wonderful place. They are always considerate, thorough, and professional with my family. This little office takes care of all our needs for dental care.
I have been a patient at American River Dental since the early 1990’s. After all these years I continue to receive dental treatment at American River Dental for 2 reasons: 1) Dr. Michael Holm and his colleagues are experts at dentistry, and 2), possibly more important is that they are experts in caring for their patients.
We are very happy with American River Dental. Staff is always friendly and helpful Our Dentist and his team were patient and thorough with us. Would definitely recommend them for dental care.
Very helpful staff and wonderful dentist 🦷 I’m glad I found a dentist who helps special needs clients
Thanks to Shelley for your coordination and help in booking an appointment for my son Jc
Best dentist in town! Sherry is a wonderful hygienist! Highly recommend
Professional friendly
Once I was seen, I was very attentive too I like that and quite honestly, it was a little faster than I expected.
And no complaints.
And I'm looking forward to my next visit.
Always a friendly and professional experience.
Staff is super nice. I had a billing problem once and they were quick to respond and fix it. My hygienist there is the greatest.Definitely would recommend.
I've been coming here for years, and always enjoy interacting with the staff. For some reason the hydro scaler stopped working today.
I have gone to American River Dental for years my dentist retired and I was very apprehensive about getting a new dentist there I was very lucky to get Doctor Soltani I went for the 1st time and I actually enjoyed myself it was a lot of fun
Great job as always
They are always professional and nice, never push you into anything. I've had a fair amount of work done and it always goes well.

I was not happy with my previous dentist and made the change to American River Dental. I had been dealing with pain for several years and had dentists dismiss my complaints as sensitivity and sent on my way. My first visit with American River dental and they found the real reason for my pain and started a treatment plan immediately. They are all so nice and really took the time to care for me. I am very pleased with the outcome of my treatment plan and will continue to be a patient with them.
Their front desk personnel are top notch. The assistants are very professional and just the overall vibe is good. I recommend wholeheartedly.
If any one is afraid of the dentist because you had a bad incident, this is place to go. They are welcoming, gentle, caring and always explain what is going on.
The staff here are extremely capable and sincerely compassionate. My adult son has disabilities that make him difficult to treat but Dr Sultani and his staff treat him with care and respect. I appreciate them so very much.

The wonderful dentist I had for years at American River Dental recently retired & I had my first visit with his replacement, Dr Soltani today. I’m so impressed with his work, knowledge, & patient centered approach. He noticed a few little things & fixed them, & recommended a few changes to my daily dental care routine. I will definitely stay with Dr Soltani as long as he’s in practice. He gets a 12 on a scale of 10!
Over the weekend I got in a bad accident where I ended up chipping more than half of my front tooth. I was absolutely horrified & devastated. First thing...
Our son was diagnosed with autism when he was 2 and dental work has always been tough. When we found out our son needed his wisdom teeth pulled we were very nervous. Dr. Acheson has Kaiser privileges and we were able to have him fully sedated. Dr. Acheson was very professional as was the office staff. Our son had no complications.
From the minute you walk in the front door the greeting is warm and you are made comfortable and any questions are answered. When called the greeting is warm and courteous. You are made as comfortable as possible , and the reception from the doctor is professional, cordial and a complete description of what he will be doing and you are asked if there are any concerns or questions, that are answered. Prior to dental work all care is taken to ensure your procedure will be as comfortable and painless as possible. A true blessing for some of us.
For 20 plus years the work done has been of the highest standard by an incredibly competent staff and doctors! Finding this dental haven has kept me grateful from day one! Bob Drotos
Dr Holm and his staff, particularly Terry, and Cherie the Hygenist, are the best! I travel 1/2 hr each way to get to their practice. There are tons of dentists near me but I choose this practice for the way they treat their patients, level of comfort I feel, the superior results, ease of getting appointments—,the whole package! I highly recommend Dr Holm and his staff!
I’m just so incredibly impressed with Dr. Soltani and his dental assistants. I’m a self-confessed wimp when it comes to dentists, but my fear was quickly replaced with calmness and confidence in them. They’re just wonderful!!!
Dr Soltani and the staff at American River Dental are so very professional and welcoming to all their patients. No work they do is finished without total customer satisfaction. I’m a long time customer and highly recommend them.
Awesome place staff r great dr guy A is wonderful. Shelly is the best. Thank u all
I cannot say enough nice things about this place. They did a great job!!!!!!
Very professional and gave me excellent information I needed for a second opinion.
I have been going to American River Dental for the past 18 years.
I am so impressed with their professional, courteous and friendly staff, they treat you like family. Thank you for the great care you take with my dental needs. I have had no major dental problems since they have been my provider. They keep me on track with my cleanings and X-rays so nothing slips by and turns into a problem.
It is always a pleasant experience- the staff is courteous and friendly, efficient as well as maintaining a clean environment .
Love, love ARD, it’s always a pleasure to go in, whether it’s for a cleaning/check up or whatever dental work we need. The best dental office that my husband and I have ever worked with.
As the mother of an autistic son, I want to highly recommend Dr Holm and his staff(especially Terry!) for their professionalism and compassion. They have made the experience so much better than I had ever dreamed it could be.
I've been going here for almost 30 years! My service has always been pleasant and never any issues when I had concerns. Dr. Holm is the best!
Very gentle and relaxing atmosphere. Very professional dentist with obviously years of experience!
American River Dental and Dr. Holm are awesome. I originally chose them due to their location close to my work. I found Dr. Holm to be a great dentist and stayed with them. But because they are not a preferred provider for my insurance, at one point I decided to find another dentist that is a preferred provider. I had 2 caps done by that dentist and regret it to this day! I decided the extra money was WELL worth it and went back to American River. Dr. Holm is extremely kind and patient and listens to you and is as particular as I am about making sure my caps are a perfect match to my teeth. I've been going here for about 17 years and love them! I even had an ex go to him because he had so much anxiety about going to dentists. Dr. Holm got him over that anxiety! I love these guys and won't leave them again.
I love, love, love my mouth guard. Thank you so much for taking good care of my mouth Dr. Acheson.😊
After years of neglecting my teeth, I was forced to find a dentist due to a toothache. I was fortunate to find ARD, and Dr. Riach. He helped me through the anxiety, fixed my tooth, and I'm on the road to healthier teeth and gums. The staff at ARD are friendly, caring, and amazing. Thank you Dr. Riach, and ARD.
