I want to start this by saying I came as a TRICARE referral as I am active duty Navy. I got in a…read morecar accident a while back and chipped my two front teeth, and got it filled by Navy Dentists. And most recently chipped my left front tooth. My referral was to get both my front teeth filled bc when I went to my Navy Dentist, I expressed concerns that my two front teeth were too short compared to what I had before I got in a car accident years ago. And I wanted to be able to rip a bag of chips open again with my front teeth. I know that may seem silly, but it's something that was important for me to have again. I told Ms Cluff the same thing about extending my teeth so they can touch my bottom teeth. This is all of maybe a couple millimeters. She told me my teeth are like that bc of my bite, and that bc of teeth grinding, it made it shorter. She also mentioned that I'm not in my 20s anymore and my teeth are different and she doesn't know why there is a referral to fill both teeth when I only chipped one. I tried to tell her multiple times that my top and bottom front teeth touched before and that's why my referral is for both teeth, and I'd like to fill my teeth so they touch like before. She continued to persuade me otherwise. I can understand on some level why she would, because she doesn't know my medical history, but as a patient I felt like I was not being heard. To the point where I considered just leaving. And right when that thought came, she said she would do it. I asked her to just do her best for my ask. She started to fill my teeth and it actually looked goofy at first but I was happy that my teeth were touching. She said it was before polishing it. So I trusted the process. Then she started polishing and started speaking Spanish to her assistant. Which made me uncomfortable bc it seemed like she was talking trash, given our previous interaction. Then she was done, and it seemed almost too quick? This is obviously compared to how long other dentists in the past would take to fill it. Then she said things like she's glad I'm happy with it and she hopes I don't crack it. Which I thought was weird but whatever I trusted that it is ok. I left and when I got home, I looked in the mirror and my right front tooth was noticeably larger than my left, also you could completely tell it was filled. Of the almost decade since my accident, the fillings I had were almost undetectable. I drove back to the office and saw Ms Ana to even out my teeth. She came in and said, "I told you" which I'm assuming is in reference to me wanting my teeth to touch. I told her I was there bc the right tooth was a lot bigger than the left and that I could feel the edges of the filling on the back of my teeth. She filed it down. She would show me the mirror, I'd tell her where I thought needed filing and then she would file and ask if it was good. When I would tell her where to file, she would audibly sigh, as if I am inconveniencing her. At this point I'm frustrated bc I'm telling a dentist how to even out my two front teeth. I told her I just want it natural looking and asked if it was even. She said "to me it is". I just had to get out of there bc it was evident that she did not care and just wanted to be done. Her staff was very nice and tried their best to make the experience good. However I think if you come here, and you sense that she is not in agreeance with what you would like your treatment plan to be, then leave. Because she WILL perform malicious compliance to your ask. Meaning you will get what you ask for but in the worse way possible bc it's not what she believes is right. I got my teeth to touch, but it looks plastered on and uneven. My right tooth is still bigger than my left. This is the first time in over a decade of having fillings done that it has been immediately noticeable, I can see what I can best describe as grooves in the filling. Thank God I have a referral to a different dentist to fix what was done. I do not recommend this dentist.

I have had fillings, crowns, and tooth extractions here, all were painless and as far as I can tell, no problem and required. My only complaint is their billing procedure.

He shared his life stories and I feel like I can just listen to him talk about events in his life. He has been a dentist for such a long time and he shared with me that he did not enjoy being home during Covid. I can tell that he takes pleasure in his work and is very dedicated. I wish everyone near the East County area goes to him. He can do everything from general dentistry to implants. Thank you so much for meeting with me today and for your dental advice. I will be seeing you guys soon!!

I had an extremely troubling experience with Dr. Omidi at Cardinal Dental…read more I was completely upfront with her about my history with dental anesthesia before beginning treatment. I have never been able to get completely numb, but for roughly 30 years I had been able to get through dental procedures with nitrous. Dr. Omidi reassured me that she could manage my situation, including telling me repeatedly, "I can get anyone numb." I trusted her, I followed all of her recommendations, and I expected the treatment to be at least as manageable as they had been in the past. Instead, both procedures were extraordinarily, excruciatingly painful--far beyond anything I had experienced in decades of dental work and a 10 out of 10 on the pain scale. And I don't use that number lightly; I'm a mother who has endured labor and birth. The second procedure was particularly difficult because I went in expecting it to be relatively straightforward, as crown deliveries have typically always been an easy procedure for me, and instead was shocked to experience another severely painful procedure. But, it was the inappropriate and unprofessional way Dr. Omidi treated me afterward that was the real issue. After the first procedure she patronizingly told me: "That hurt me more than it hurt you." And worse, after the second procedure while I was extremely distressed, I was met with an extremely antagonistic interaction. From the moment her hands came out of my mouth and the pain finally began to subside, Dr. Omidi was agitated and spoke to me harshly instead of allowing me a moment to recover from an unexpectedly excruciating procedure. I felt attacked and profoundly uncomfortable, and she ultimately stormed out of the room. After this experience, I will not be returning to Dr. Omidi.
