I did a lot of research on North County dentists before picking a dentist and found this place…read morethrough Reddit. The reviews on Google Maps and Yelp, especially people who've been coming here 15-20 years really stood out to me, and after my first visit I totally get it. Got in quickly through the cancellation list which I was thankful for, specifically for a cleaning and x-rays. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The person taking my x-rays made it easy, and my hygienist was gentle and talked me through everything as she went, which I really appreciated. Dr. Chang kept it conservative and didn't push any unnecessary work. Exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend!

That being said, this was the best dentist I have ever been to. It's across the board. Everyone, from front desk staff to my hygienist to the dentist himself was so kind. They explained the processes to me, always asking if I had questions. They did not chastise me or make me feel bad for the poor quality of my teeth. They were friendly, genuinely helpful, and personable. The office itself was the nicest dentist I've EVER been to (and my last dentist was in Beverly Hills). It's clean, modern, and a gorgeous space. It's not sterile or showing any signs of age. The space was so welcoming that it quelled many anxieties off the bat. Overall, I can't recommend this dentist enough. Even the payment portion was anxiety-free (that's a first!) as the front-desk explained to me the best approach, scheduling, and financing. Thank you, Oceanside Dental Arts!

Update: I got a statement from my dental insurance. The amount I was billed was higher than what…read morethey submitted to the Insurance. The numbers don't match up. Where the heck did the additional charges come from? ----------------- Dr. Ybarra and Dr. Yuen are amazing dentist. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about them. They were a pleasure to work with and I wish i could continue going to this location. However, the billing department is a bit outrageous. $18 ,580 for one implant, some bone graphs, and switching a bridge to caps. This was my price out of pocket after insurance covered what it could. I know i was overcharged because i called other offices in the exact same dental network and collected their estimates. A different office explained it this way: There are set prices which they must charge for insurance legality reasons. But if it's not covered, the office has some leeway and can offer incentives like 20% off for new customer, seasonal sales, etc. to make the package more attractive. When I called OMD to ask why I was charged so much the office managers response was "our doctors are specialist, and they use specialized materials ". That excuse doesn't fly when the other offices in the same network have doctors whom are just as qualified and use the same equipment/resources/materials.

The entire team makes you feel comfortable and genuinely cared for. Dr. Matt McDonald is excellent at what he does. He is knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and takes the time to make sure you feel comfortable and understand everything along the way. It's clear that he truly cares about his patients and takes pride in providing great care. The office itself is also such a standout. The vibe is amazing--warm, modern, relaxed, and incredibly unique. It feels perfectly suited to our coastal town and has so much more personality than a typical dental office. You can tell a lot of thought went into creating a space that feels welcoming and comfortable from the moment you walk in. I've had such a positive experience with everyone at Proper 32 and feel very confident that I'm in good hands. I would highly recommend Dr. Matt McDonald and the entire Proper 32 team!

He is truly a gem, with a perfect balance of intelligence, personality, and what seems like raw talent--most likely gained from experience. The office is nearby, parking is easy, and unlike most medical and dental offices, you can get in and out efficiently. Seriously, my time is valuable, and I hate waiting at other medical offices that tend to overbook appointments. At Dental Care of Oceanside, they care about your time. As a dentist, Dr. Kim is efficient, kind, friendly, and genuinely cares about me and my whole family (I have two boys, aged 11 and 13), my wife, and my mom! I cannot imagine going to another dentist for the rest of my life. If you want an exceptional experience and are concerned about cost, look no further than Dental Care of Oceanside.
