I hadn't been to a dentist in 8 years. Gross, I know. But I absolutely hated going to the dentist,…read moreI always had horrible experiences. My husband guilted me into going to a dentist (not because my teeth were disgusting lol) but because we were paying for my dental insurance & it was going to waste. SO I googled nearby dental offices & made an appointment with A Smile Shoppe & I wasn't looking forward to it... WELL to my surprise - from the moment I walked in I was BLOWN AWAY. This is not just any old dentist's office. This place is so clean & modern and the receptionists are all super friendly & sweet. I was still cautious & nervous about what was going to happen once I went back. Well ANOTHER SURPRISE! My technician was amazing & my cleaning was not painful OR messy! THEN I met Dr. Call & he was so kind & fun and very knowledgeable of his craft. He is the most down to earth dentist I have ever met! I did not feel like another number. I couldn't believe that I was actually having fun at a dentist's office & I didn't want to leave. I'm telling you they are AMAZING!!! Now I look forward to my 6 month cleanings!! And go regularly! My husband couldn't believe it when I got home & told him what a great time I had & that he needed to schedule an appointment asap. Dr. Call has also really helped my husband with all of the jaw pain he was having. Dr. Call is the first person who has made recommendations for him & is doing everything he can to help him. And he has already made major improvements!! Dr. Call & his staff are phenomenal. If you are looking for a dentist to change your life, look no further!

I am so glad I found Fallbrook Village Dental because I have finally found a place that really cares and takes great care of their patient's. Dr. Stephan Barrington is my new dentist and I am so grateful I found him and this office. He and his assistant took great care of me and never seemed rushed or distracted. I was able to get a crown and a filling all in one appointment. The permanent crown is done that day! No waiting weeks with a fragile temporary. The entire staff is great and very good about answering any questions I have. I even received a call today (Saturday) from the Dr. to check and see how I was doing. My cleaning was a few weeks ago and the hygienist was amazing and sweet too. Thank you so much for a great experience!!! D. Sowul

Who loves the dentist right??? I do! As a past patient of Dr. Kent Sanders for many years, I…read morelearned that Dr. Sorge purchased the practice as Dr. Sanders retired. I am so very pleased with his gentle and relaxed demeanor yet he is so very educated and comes with many accolades. He also is more of a one stop shop as does root canals, and implants etc... He makes me feel very at ease and allays those "dentist fears". Beyond Dr. Sorge I must brag on the staff! Kim, my hygenist is the best I have ever experienced. She is so gentle and i appreciate it even more as i have super sensitive teeth and recessed gums. Cheryl who works the front couldn't be more approachable and professional at the same time. All in all A+ and Bravo for a great team. Wishing Dr. Sorge all the best in his new endeavor here in San Clemente.

Dr. Ashley Araiza has been taking care of my family's and my teeth since I was a teenager back when…read moreshe was still Dr. Perri's shadow. She has been nothing but kind, honest and truly makes me feel heard. I suffer from c-ptsd and Ashley has been more than understanding of that and always shows extreme care and compassion. She's always patient with me.. And I mean really patient. Recently she performed cosmetic dental bonding on my two front teeth I wanted do to correct superficial cosmetic chips from grinding and having had a tongue piercing. It's an understatement to say I'm a perfectionist, always nitpicking my teeth and pulling myself apart. It takes me a while to get used to things that adjust my appearance but thanks to Ashley I have confidence in my smile again. Morgan, Rainy and all of the staff are very supportive and always put the patients best interest first without self-seeking intentions. Not once have I had an unnecessary procedure recommended to me. Their patients are lucky to have them.

Everyone I've met so far has been…read morefriendly, efficient, and professional, beginning with Morgan (office coordinator) who is super sweet and efficient! Also, Rainy! At my 1st visit, Dr. Richard Kennedy noticed I had a cracked molar and needed a crown (note: don't chew ice!). I liked that they showed me the photo of the molar on the digital screen so I could see it as well. Morgan coordinated with my dental insurance and obtained the authorization for the crown. After putting off this procedure as long as I could, I finally came back and had it done in 2 visits. Dr Kennedy did an amazing job and made an unpleasant procedure as pleasant as possible. When undergoing dental/medical procedures, I like to be told what's happening as it's happening, and he kept me apprised throughout, which relieved my apprehension. He also helped me with a breathing exercise. At the 1st visit, the molar was shaved down and a temporary crown was put on. A few weeks later at the 2nd visit, the temporary crown was removed and the permanent crown was put on. Dr. Kennedy had me bite down on paper several times so he could determine the right fit. The fit was perfect and I have not had any issues since. Thank you!!!
