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.

We have seen quite a few patients over the years become more self-confident, more radiant and more willing to show off their smile in social situations after having straightened their teeth with braces.

Our Dental Office

American River Dental in Rancho Cordova

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

This is the Very Best Dental I've ever been to & I've always been very very TERRIFIED of any dental office. Thank you AMERICAN RIVER DENTAL..
Great hygienist, very kind and understanding of our adult disabled sons needs. Office staff is always friendly and helpful.
Excellent service as always I got fitted for a crown yesterday and they really use all the high technology equipment. I highly recommend.
Great experience, never have any trouble getting an appointment and everybody at that business plays their role without fail.
Cheri is super kind and gentle on teeth cleanings. Highly recommend
Love American River Dental and Dr Holm. They are kind and compassionate, which is especially important for those of us dealing with anxiety.
Very friendly and accommodating.
Great people. Great 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.
Wry professional. Explained procedures thoroughly and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. Wry good technique; no pain with I jections
I an very happy with my dentist Dr. HOLMES
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD
The dental team is wonderful. The admin staff is great. It seems everyone is happy working here and it shows through their care and patience with their patients.
Very Professional, explained well.
Office staff is very friendly and professional.
My wife and I always receive the best service here. The doctor and the entire staff are polite, professional, and do excellent work. From teeth cleanings to root canals, we’ve consistently had fantastic experiences.
I've had many dentist that were extremely rough, and literally had me in tears. Dr. Holm is so gentle, he is a professional dentist and all around great person that is extremely personable.
Very nice and professional. Would recommend.
Karen was so gentle and professional! What great service today! Thank you!
My dentist retired, my wife suggested I try American River Dental. Just had my second cleaning. I am probably not the easiest patient- hyper sensitive gum line. I am listened to and handled so professionally. Dental hygienist is so down to earth and skilled. Cleaning done in about an hour with no discomforts or issues. So attentive, gentle, and effective. Wonderful experience, 58 years and I have never said that about a dentist office.
About an hour drive from home, easily worth the drive. They are stuck with me, I am not looking elsewhere.
1st Review but 30yr customer with family:
-- Easy to find on busy corner in established Rancho Cordova neighborhood.
-- Small 8-car parking lot is tight, but more available around other side of 2-story building in same parking lot. Either way, be prepared to walk. That said, they do have a back loading-door for more mobility impaired (coordinate with front office staff).
-- Inviting, open, naturally lit building with comfortable waiting room comforted by a large, wall aquarium.
-- Kind, capable, stable staff (office, hygienists, techs, & doctors).
-- Gentle-handed, manual hygenist vs. loud, electric device cleanings.
>>Bottom Line: Highly recommend.
Cheri was amazing with my autistic son!
I really enjoy going to my dental office American River dental. The doctors are so wonderful to work with, and the office manager is so helpful with paperwork and referrals and answering questions. I’m going to be retiring soon and I’m very pleased that I will be able to keep my dental insurance and my dental office. Because they are excellent people over there. I highly recommend them.
Bryan is the best, gets my teeth sparkling clean and is an excellent conversationalist, who could ask for anything more. Bryan continues to be the best hygienist ever
I was very happy with care I was given today. I was about 30 minutes early, they got me right in and I was seen right away with nothing but smiles. I am so glad I was referred here for my major dental issues.
I can’t remember the ex ray techs name she was AWSOME and took tons of ex rays and pictures so my care plan could move forward as quick as possible. I am also wheelchair bound and they easily accommodated me.
Thank you to all.

Jennifer
They are awesome
Staff is always professional and kind.
My mom has been coming here for years. And she has always shared her experiences each appointment. They were kind enough to call me when my mom was not able to safely drive herself. From the way the treated my mother it made me choose to come here. Everyone was very kind. The atmosphere was free. Everyone belonged there. The way the staff works together as a solid unit. If they were having a bad day you wouldn’t be able to tell. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
Karen was very gentle , friendly and doing a good job on teeth cleaning.
Very happy with American River Dental. Staff is always friendly. Our Hygienist is very kind, helpful, and thorough.
Karen is always great! Very kind and professional. And Dr. home is the best. I hope he never retires as long as I’m alive.
Always a great experience with this dentist!
Dr. Soltani and his staff inspire confidence in me that they have and will continue to provide excellent dental care and affordability.
I had a broken tooth and they fit me in quickly at a busy time of year. They repaired my crown on the same visit. I have been with ARD for 30 years and I am grateful for the wonderful care.
Truly the most kind people behind the desk, taking the X-rays and making a plan for my remaining teeth with Dr. Saltane made me happy I was being understood and had found the right office!
Dr. Holms is the best dentist I have ever had. I drive an hour to my dental appointments because I can't find another dental office or dentist that is as gentle and caring as he is.
Best ever!Dr Soltani is very caring I was looking for a way my son with autism would have dental care for years, tried many ways but eventually landed at American dental...so far his infection has been taken care of and decayed teeth removed through Dr Soltani refferal,today worries of many years is past as my son has been treated and extraction done!Thank again Dr sultan you are the best!
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 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.
American River Dental was a lucky find. The building is inviting and the people who work there are friendly and professional. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to Dr. Holm for fillings. He was kind and concerned for my well-being during the procedure and I left there feeling good. I may no longer dread going to the dentist.
