I waited four months because I am lazy and I couldn't use my mouth properly. I attribute this to muscle memory. My new teeth seemed clunky and misaligned. All of those uncertainties have been completely resolved and I'm exceedingly satisfied and grateful for my full mouth restoration. My old dental situation was deplorable, and I lived in fear and shame of the shape that my teeth were in . Everything started to change with a simple evaluation by Dr. Allred. That day fear in shame were replaced with hope and excitement. Once the decision was made to move forward, the procedure moved fast! The first day was the longest 4 to 5 hours and I had 14 temporary crowns and four post for implants installed. All of this was painless as I was put under anesthesia!. I returned four weeks later for about two hours and had all permanent crowns and implants installed. ( Dr. Allred has his own CNC machine on site so all crowns and implants can be made as needed. No waiting for an outside company to get the teeth manufactured!) I can't close without mentioning how well the Office ran from reception and organization to the dental technicians. Thank you, Dr. Allred. Ps... I will admit, I shed a few tears out of gratitude!

I first met Dr. Allred when he was consulting at a different dentist office. I found him very knowledgeable and willing to explain everything to you. When he left that dentist office and they had a different dentist consult with me, the difference was remarkable. The second dentist just didn't seem experienced and was a little eager to jump into recommending the expensive procedure. When I learned Dr. Allred had his own practice, I was willing to make the drive all the way to San Marcos to find him. The office is modern, very clean, and the chairs are actually pretty comfortable, both in the waiting room and in the procedure rooms. All the staff members were not just courteous, but very friendly as well. All smiles for you and willing to laugh. Apparently my nighttime teeth grinding was worse than I thought, because I ground through the enamel of my back molars and they needed repair. The other dentist immediately recommended two crowns, which would have amounted to around $3000 before insurance. That seemed a little extreme to me, so I got a second opinion from Dr. Allred. He thought crowns were a little "aggressive" for the amount of damage being repaired, and instead recommended onlays. That was the moment I decided the extra 20-minute drive was worth the trouble. (My previous dental office was right next door to where I work.) So I made an appointment to have him fix my ground-up teeth. The day of the procedure, he said one tooth was not as bad as the other, and that a filling would fix it just fine. This made my visit even cheaper! The total would come to just over $600 before insurance. I was amazed. This dentist is not the kind eager to recommend expensive procedures to you, even though he is perfectly capable of them. He is there to help you within your budget. He also knows his stuff. He offered explanations for my nightly grinding that no other dentist or even the internet ever offered (occlusal disease - where your bite is off and your jaw muscles unconsciously try to correct it). It's hard to find doctors and dentists who like to get to the source of the problems rather than simply treating your symptoms. I highly recommend Dr. Allred. Your teeth are very important to your happiness and well being, so he is worth the trip! His office is called Allred Dental and it's near Fry's Electronics in San Marcos.

My smile is so pretty and I feel more comfortable and happy. Thanks Dr. Allred!

My dentist recently retired, and as of January 2026 I learned that I have Delta Dental coverage…read more So I started from scratch and looked at every single one of the 178 dental practices near me covered by Delta Dental. Most of them were large practices and had Yelp reviews in the 2- and 3-star range. San Marcos Modern Dentistry was one of about two or three that had 4-star reviews. When I called to make an appointment, the receptionist explained the insurance procedure very clearly, letting me know what I needed to do next. She answered all my questions with patience and friendliness. My first appointment was really positive. Everyone on the staff from the ladies at the front counter to the hygienists to Dr. Aldaz were very caring, friendly, and professional. Everything was completely explained to me - what my X-rays and scan revealed, the treatment proposed, the cost, etc. I ended up having three temporary crowns placed by Dr. Aldaz at that appointment which was late on a Monday afternoon. She placed the permanent crowns at an early morning appointment on Wednesday less than 48 hours later. I have never had such quick turnarounds on crowns. These are fabricated in house, so they are much quicker than being sent to a lab. In addition to all the positive features of this practice, what impressed me greatly was the CBTC scanner. It revealed a deep cavity almost reaching to the bone that I had no idea that I had. If I had not had it taken care of at this visit, I probably would have had to have had a root canal which I certainly do not ever want. This cavity was a shock because I had just had bite wing X-rays taken and an exam by the new dentist who had taken over the practice of my retired dentist. She told me that everything was fine at that time. In my opinion, it is important to choose a dentist that performs the CBTC scans as they apparently reveal much more than the customary digital X-rays. My former dentist did not have such a scanner. They also have a periodontist on staff so if further procedures are necessary, they can be done in house. At this point, I feel that Dr. Aldaz is the best dentist for me that I could ever find. My feeling was that every person on the staff was truly committed to giving each patient the very best care possible. This is a business that serves everyone who walks through the door and who calls on the phone. It is very unusual to find this nowadays. Everyone there made me feel as if I were their most important patient. I believe you will be highly satisfied if you check them out. If you are looking for an excellent dental practice that truly wants the best for you, give them a call!

After sharing that I preferred not to have my blood pressure taken because it gives me extreme…read moreanxiety, they refused to do a simple check up and cleaning. They said they cared about my overall health and needed to take it because it was their policy to protect their doctors and care for me. I don't need them to care for my blood pressure-my primary care doctor already does that. I need them to clean my teeth. Now, I won't be having my teeth cleaned for a year - until I can switch to different insurance and find a dentist who actually treats me with respect and dignity due to any human. I left the office crying - feeling uncared for, discarded, broken and less than.

I'm beyond fearful of the dentist, due to too many horrific experiences. So I avoid the dentist as…read morelong as I can. I broke down & went due to a broken tooth. Come to find out I needed 2 crowns. Anxiety kicked in. I went in yesterday 6/10/25. I was anxious, nervous and almost cancelled. I opted out of the "calm the F down drugs" and went in as a "big girl"... My Dentist was kind, patient, explained EVERYTHING & handled my nerves wonderfully. To my pure delight, I didn't need a crown, he said "we can fix this with a filling, no crown needed" LIKE WHAT??!!! Not only was he kind & patient BUT he wasn't out to get money from me. He was honest and did only what was necessary. THIS is a RARE quality these days. I hope he is my dentist as long as I have teeth :) I'll be going back with pure confidence and no fear!!

New client here looking for a dentist. Tried contacting this number on three different occasions…read more One: no answer and was prompted to leave a voicemail. Two: a receptionist picked up the call alongside an overlap to the voicemail message recording so I hung up because I couldn't hear the live person over the voice recording. Three: some older sounding receptionist answers the call with "hello" & I ask "Is this the family dental of SM?" To which she responds with a bad attitude stating that she keeps answering my call and I do not answer her. After reading some reviews on yelp about a terrible receptionist, I think I met her. Congrats family dental for losing a client due to an ill mannered receptionist. Note to the receptionist, if you hate your job that much, you should find another one because you're terrible in customer service. As a patient, we deal with receptionists quite a lot since they are the face of the company. Saving myself the headache of dealing with this one. A dentistry could have the best drs, best techs but a horrible receptionist can quickly ruin all the hard work behind the scenes due to their rudeness.
