Dr. Sinks, who very professionally accomplished my previous implants with very high quality, is now fully retired. I am quite impressed as to how the technology has advanced in recent years which has made it very easy to undergo implant treatment. Dr. Gohel is super!

This is extremely professional and demonstrates how caring Dr. Gohel is. She is the best! And her staff is super on top of all this! So, if you are in need of dental implant(s), you don't need to look any further.

I called Dr. Miner's office on Monday afternoon and the doctor agreed to see me Tuesday morning for consultation and possible surgery. He was able to do the surgery and remove both teeth with the speed I comfort I never experience before. It was just "top, top and pull" and the tooth was gone. Wow, it was amazing and Dr. Miner is amazing and absolutely the best! Today, I'm still doing great, no pain and no bleeding! I think Dr. Miner is the best oral surgeon in the San Diego area. He is also supper nice and made me feel comfortable and safe before and during the procedure. I was very, very scared but he was able to calm me down and still performed the surgery without sedation. In fact, the whole team in doctor Miner's office is super nice and welcoming.

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.

Long overdue review! Dr. Do is an incredibly knowledgeable periodontist who truly cares for his…read morepatients, is so detail oriented in his work, and will patiently take the time to answer patient questions (I had a lot!). I am not local so flew into town to get my teeth evaluated + my gums grafted.....he proved to totally be worth the effort as the level of care he provided truly is exceptional. I've gotten multiple gum grafts previously from three other periodontists. Dr. Do's work not only provided the most coverage, but it held up the best and he was able to gain a teeny bit of height!! My previous understanding is that it was impossible to gain and maintain increased gum height. It was a lengthy procedure as Dr. Do took on the challenge of performing the graft on the lingual side (challenging angle to see in the first place) and I had scar tissue that made it harder to graft. During this time, Dr. Do was laser focused, maintained communication so I was aware of what he was working on, and checked in through out to ensure I was not in pain or didn't need a break. I cannot recommend Dr. Do enough and only wish I had someone like him for all my other medical needs!

I had all uppers taken out about 5 months ago as over a long time, extensive bridgework was failing. My regular Dentist is fine for the 'normal stuff,' and he had recommended the Oral Surgeon who did removal. Afterwards, neither gave me much confidence in their expertise when my gums did not seem to be healing. Quite frankly, the whole process was way more invasive and slow healing than I anticipated. After research, I made an appointment with Dr. Ho....he emailed me necessary medical history type, was quite amenable when I screwed that up a bit. Appointment was very solid, both he and his assistant were great. They actually listened while I conveyed my 'story.' He did a very comprehensive exam, took a large # of photos and took a lot of time in explaining his findings. He also gave me some small 'cleaning utensil' type brushes to help in daily brushing. He said the whole process can take a year before the gums, jaw etc. are fully functional....and I was progressing nicely. I came away feeling like all my questions and worries were addressed...that was very important. Also, and equally important, he (and his assistant) were quite diligent, took time, and both seem like very nice people. Highest Recommendation, No Doubt.

I was impressed that he was so honest and didn't just want to schedule an expensive procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Yu if you need a consultation or procedure.

Dr. Yu started by saying that we needed to get aquainted since we had never met. He asked simple questions and assured me that most people's fears are far worse than the reality. The exam was gentle and Dr. Yu constantly reassured me that all was going well. He was thorough and explained each step. He took his time and did not rush. (At this point, I will say that you will probably wait past your appointment time, but when you are seen, you will receive all the time necessary.) As it turned out, I needed no peridental work. Dr. Yu and his staff recommended another dentist to do the root canal I would need since he did not specialize in that type of dentistry. I highly recommend Dr Yu.

Which is fine, that's their right, but I recommend knowing exactly what your insurance covers before going in. You will have to first pay out of pocket and then they will submit a claim on your behalf. The staff did not know how much would be reimbursed and they will make it seem as if it's not a big issue when the reality is you could be out of pocket a lot of money. I don't expect them to know how every single insurance policy works, but did not appreciate how they made it seem like it would be no big deal when it definitely could be. Read your insurance policy carefully before committing.
