I really liked Savanna. She offered great advice for my dry mouth. Also advised to use a water pic and explained the best way to use it.

Parking was really easy until the Mochi place opened next door. lol I didn't encounter any problems with upsells, mentioned in other reviews. Please don't change!

I would like to highlight a marketing tool created by a cooperation inorder to trick a patient into…read morebelieving that they are getting a discounted price. That tool would be The Smile Generation Fee schedule. for anyone who maybe contemplating choosing this dentist office and who is underinsured or not insured, this plan will be integrated into your estimate. if you agree to the work that is listed you will be charged around $119 to use this plan in order to receive the discount. for me the savings was over $10,000. so thats the hook. unbelievable savings presented to you as if these savings are real..THEY ARE NOT. ask for a fee schedule. the fine print states all pricing is what a general dentist would charge, but 80 percent of the procedures need a specialist. in this case`you receive a twenty percent discount off the specialist 'reasonable rate" for each procedure, the discounted price charged by the specialist will always be more than the Fee Schedule. the result is a large discount on your estimate but in reality you just paying what a surgeon would normally charge. you would think that if your paying $119 to use this SMILE GENERATION PLAN and receive the discounts associated with the fee schedule then all procedures and products you purchaced would be quoted directly from the fee schdule to your estimate. for me that was not the case. I was charged around $36,309, only an onlay($932) can be found on my estimate and the SMILE GENERRATION FEE SCHEDULE. that is to say only 2.5% of what I paid was quoted from the SGFS. FROM the remaining amount I was charged, only the abutments ($2800), the bottom partial denture($2091), and an over denture were on my bill and the SGFS. these items were priced lower on my bill than what I was quoted yet Bailey, the office manager, tried to tell me the change in price constituted an additional discount, on paper it certainly did but in actual savings it defiantly did not. in the end approx $28,576 and the 20% discount associated with my estimate did not originate from the SGFS but rather came from my surgeons "reasonable rates" and his %20 discount. it bears repeating only %20 of my total costs had anything to do with the SGFS.that is unacceptable. one last anecdote. I had multiple teeth pulled and for that I was charged for a surgical extraction. something didn't feel right so I questioned the difference between a surgical extraction and a simple extraction. the removal of bone and or sectioning would constitute a surgical extraction. I requested the doctors notes and written in the notes my surgeon wrote there was no sectioning or bone removal. it took almost 6 months but the dentist had to reimburse me the difference. altogether I was able to claw back around $6000. all of this should give you pause, but what I find to be the most egregious is the dentist found it necessary to cut ties with me. they had no problem overcharging me, ordering products I couldn't use , charging me for a miscellaneous procedure that never happened and having me prepay for a product I never received. they wanted my business. but after the the last reimbursement check was mailed to me, they decided that our "trust" had been broken. it seems like being taken advantage of is a prerecquisite for staying a patient. allegedly

When I returned shortly after that visit to drop off a thank you gift for my hygienist, the older woman again seemed annoyed by my presence, but luckily there was a nice younger girl (Vanessa, I think) who offered to help me. That was my last visit there because the only hygienist I went to see left the clinic, understandably given this experience. Since then, there have been 2 fraudulent bills that Doctor Woods attempted to send to my insurance, and then she sent me a bill in the mail for work that was done November last year and March this year, which had already been paid for. I'd recommend any patients past or future keep an eye on their insurance when dealing with this clinic, as there is absolutely fraudulent activity going on.

Dr Haynie performed work on my teeth without my consent and disfigured my smile. I had a minor chip…read morein my top left front tooth and requested that Dr Haynie fill it with resin. Instead, without my consent, he ground that tooth down to eliminate the chip, removing tooth volume and curving my otherwise straight tooth. Without my consent, he then ground my top right front tooth and curved it in a botched attempt to create symmetry. When I told him that I was upset that he did work without my consent and that it looked bad, I expected him to say that he would work with me to make it right. Instead, he told me that he felt threatened and was terminating our doctor-patient relationship. This guy is a nightmare! I've attached a photo showing the unconsented work performed by Dr Haynie on my top two front teeth. The top right front tooth had no issues but Dr Haynie removed significant volume from the interior portion, turning it into a snarl tooth. Looking at the far right edge of the top right front tooth, move left all the way across my top left front tooth and you will have a sense of how much tooth volume Dr Haynie removed from my top left front tooth, also without my consent. Also note that he curved the top left front tooth, giving it an unaesthetic appearance. If you want a dentist to only perform work you consent to or otherwise stand behind the work they perform, do NOT go to Dr Haynie. Also, not every dentist is an artist or has good taste, meaning not every dentist should be performing cosmetic work. Dr Haynie should NOT be performing cosmetic dentistry.

Despite being an Invisalign provider, after assessing my bite digitally and manually Dr. Fred found my repeating that expense was unnecessary which showed integrity. Dr. Fred is reachable when necessary and communication with his team is simple, effective and responsive. Each member of Smile Dentistry's team is caring, friendly and supportive of your dental health. Both the hygienist and Dr. Fred recommended personalized dental care tips. Dr. Fred's exam techniques and technology choices attest to his advanced education at UCSD and USC. He explains your film findings and treatment options in simple terms for sound and lasting results.  Having TMJ, Dr. Fred examined my bite with articulating paper using the same methods as my Oral, Head and Neck Pathologist several counties away. I could not find a local practitioner skilled in these techniques. Dr. Fred took time fixing my bite to prevent further fractures without my feeling like a nuisance or rushed. Dr. Fred's digitizer results in crowns with a superior fit compared to standard impressions. When outside referral was necessary to other specialities, Dr. Fred personally ensured I received treatment soon and his entrusted network is equally advanced in training, technology and conscientiousness. All were in-network with my insurance which is uncommon. His welcoming other specialties' opinions further increased my trust. Each provider called me after major treatment checking on my recovery and answering questions.  Dr. Fred and his team are kind, patient and considerate and the office is inviting. Pricing is reasonable without pushing unnecessary aesthetic treatments. Thank you Dr. Fred and San Diego Smile Dentistry for patiently and gracefully returning my dental health.
