Seeing the Dentist is not top of the fun list for most people. I have been seeing Dr. Coleman for 10+ years and now his son Dr. John. I am unfortunately one of those people with weakened enamel that is hereditary so I find myself in the chair getting procedures regularly. It has been a while since I needed anything until yesterday. To say I was terrified would have been an understatement. I couldn't eat, I was shaking, my heart was racing all the way up until I sat in the chair. Then I was reminded why I love this practice. Sara cranked up the 60's jams to give me something to concentrate on, threw a stress ball in my hand, and helped me calm down. Once I was settled, she talked me through every step that was going to happen. When Dr. John came in he makes you feel like your friends from way back with his calm bedside manner. My crown was a breeze with the help of some gas... and his steady hands. I trust Dr. John and the staff of professionals implicitly and that's why I will always recommend his practice to anyone who will listen. His front office professionals are always going above and beyond. Alisa and Stacy are kind and thoughtful. My hygienist Gillian is as good as it gets, she even stopped in just to give me a hug yesterday since she knows I get nervous. It's the little things too, like knowing I don't care for mint so making sure I have Pina Colada numbing agent or Cake flavored fluoride paste. They deserve 30 stars, not just 5!!! read more

I've been going here for years. Up until recently I thought it was the best dentist around. I referred numerous people and for once truly felt comfortable going in the dentist. That was until my last cleaning. It has taken me a long time to write this review particularly because of life and particularly because I really didn't want to- but here goes. I went in for a cleaning and will admit I was overdue. I was called in by a younger hygienist who made a point to tell me she hadn't been working long. Ok? On examination she screamed oh my god is that popcorn?!? Did you eat popcorn on your way here?!? I was incredibly embarrassed. Then she checked for pockets in my gums and pushed herself away from my chair and said I need to get them to make an estimate and left the room. She came back and said I don't think I should even do the cleaning because you're going to need so much more. I looked confused and she said she could do it if I really wanted but it would really be a waste of time in her opinion. She then asked if I wanted to look at a kids picture book about stages of dental disease. I was done!!!! I didn't know what to say so I started to laugh partly to keep from crying and she asked me what I was laughing at. I said you know what- I'm done. I unclipped the bib and walked out. While sitting in my car trying to compose myself before driving home- the manager followed me out to ask what happened. I explained everything and mentioned I kinda have a fear of the dentist so this made it all so much worse. She told me the hygienist was newer and recommended I book an appointment with a more experienced hygienist. But this meant more waiting and talking time off work. Honestly it never happened. I'm sad about this because as I said this has always been a kind and gentle place that aside from a crown popping off did what I thought was good work. read more

My family and I have been going to Coleman dentistry for the last 20 years. I schedule regular cleanings throughout the year. Up until recently, everything has been a 5 out of 5. I feel I've had good dental health for the last few years. I take a lot of pride in dental care. I am retired so I don't have dental insurance. But that doesn't stop Stacey the office manager to try to force-feed x-rays on me when I can't afford it. Dealing with her is like buying a used car and having to deal with "the closer". Or attending a timeshare presentation. She is abrasive and pushy, and I don't care to deal with her ever again. Therefore, I'm sad to say I am leaving the practice and looking for a new dentist. If you are a patient watch out for Stacey "the shark!" read more

Dr John went above and beyond the call of duty to fix broken tooth I needed to be fixed outside normal office hours. It's that kind of care and professionalism that has kept me and wife loyal for many years. read more

The first step in finding a great cosmetic dentist was for me the most difficult. Where do I begin? And how will I know if I made a good choice? I was familiar with the Coleman practice for 20 years because my regular dentist's office was in the same complex. Back then Dr Coleman's father was the principal at the time and his son, John worked there in partnership with his dad. Why I didn't choose Dr. Coleman 12 years ago when I had my first full mouth restoration I don't know, but the dentist I ended up choosing was the worst and most consequential choice I have ever made. It caused me no end of grief. The time came in April of 2024 to do a major upgrade to my smile and dental functionality. I decided to have a cleaning done at Dr. Coleman's office and check them out. The dental hygienist was as good as they get. The office was clean and well run. The staff was knowledgeable and high caliber and Dr. John Coleman is a delight to work with. The entire staff is a delight to work with. I could say so much more about how wonderful this practice is but suffice it to say it has now been one year since I've been going there and during that time I had a full mouth cosmetic restoration. It not only restored my smile and my occlusion but it restored my confidence. Many years ago I worked for 15 years in an Orthodontic office. The office where I worked was famous all over the world for state of the art teaching, management style, and for how well run it was. Dr. John Coleman's office reminds me of that practice. I recommend them without reservation. read more

I have received excellent care with Dr John and all the staff! I had both front teeth bonded today and they look great! I now have a new dental team and couldn't be more excited. I'm so glad I made the switch to Coleman's Advanced Dentistry read more

I deal with anxiety around dentistry from past experiences, this is a whole new level of care. I've never felt more heard, seen and been treated with such respect from a dentist office. I'm so thankful I found Coleman dentists, best dental care I've ever experienced with no anxiety! read more

Coleman advanced dentistry really makes me feel at home, I'm so lucky to have them in my backyard. The staff provides an awkwardly welcoming atmosphere that I've grown to enjoy. I'm always hydrated before and after my appointments with their waiting room amenities. They also offer the chance to brush your teeth before and theoretically after your appointments if you managed to forget. I feel like I'm really bettering my dental hygiene with all of the advice and tips I've gotten from their staff. I now make sure to invest into my dental care with quality toothpaste and toothbrushes, I no longer obliviously purchase my replacement toothbrush heads. Also, they sell prescription toothpaste at a good price that you won't find at the supermarket and that is better than Sensodyne. The only caveat I have is their complimentary toothpaste, it tends to be of lower quality lacking potassium nitrate. All in all I highly recommend this dental practice, you'll have a difficult time finding the need for someone else. read more

See all

Best dental group! Seriously, everybody should use this dental office in Vista! Everyone who works there is super sweet and very knowledgeable. Most gentle dentist, ever! read more

Coleman Advanced Dentistry - Great flowers from Coleman Advanced Dentistry, thank you!!! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Vista, California

I saw Dr Rice for a gum surgery and he was so knowledgeable and calming. Also want to acknowledge his assistant Tanya who was continually checking on my comfort during the procedure. Very beautiful office and the whole team was so nice. read more

I've been coming here for almost 3 years now and every experience is great and feels like a warm welcome. They remember small details and also provide lots of amenities like free water bottles, juices, teas, chapsticks, and more. All of their referrals to other specialist have been just as welcoming. I always feel like they're looking out for my best interest and making sure I'm never in pain. I've had multiple cavities filled, cleanings, and referrals out for root canals and other items. I'm now at my best dental health thanks to the Coleman team. I highly recommend them even if it means having to drive a little further you won't regret it. read more

Everybody at Coleman Advanced Dentistry is extremely professional and friendly and the office is clean and organized. I wanted to write a special thank you to my hygienist Gill for my last visit because I am currently pregnant with a lot of symptoms and she did everything she could to make me comfortable during my appointment. My cleaning was quick yet thorough. She's also just so pleasant to talk to that the time really flies by! Thank you! read more

If you are looking for a dentist, look no further. I started seeing Dr. Coleman Sr. roughly 3 years ago when I had cosmetic dentistry done. Amazing experience. I stayed on as a regular dental patient and see them every 6 months or more if I need dental work. I see now Dr. John (his son) who is just as wonderful. Let me say, you will never find a nicer group of people working in an office. From the front desk gals, to hygienists, everyone is so warm and professional. Comfort is huge to them, which I appreciate as I can't tolerate pain well during procedures. They want you to be comfortable always. I feel relaxed having dental work done, which I never thought was possible. read more

Dr. John Coleman has been my wife doctor for her implant teeth. Dr. Coleman is an outstanding doctor. Dr. Coleman took care of my wife as she was a member of her own family. Dr. Coleman checked with my wife several time in each visit to make sure she was comfortable. My wife is very pleased with what Dr. Coleman did for her. My wife's teeth look as they are her own teeth, an outstanding job by Dr. Coleman. We used to drive about two hours to see Dr. Coleman and we have to admit it was worth it for a great job that Dr. Coleman did. I could write a few pages to tell what a nice, awesome, and professional Dr. Coleman is. We recommend Dr. John Coleman to all our friends and family. read more

Where do I even start. From the moment I walked in I knew this was going to be the right place for me. Not very often these days can you come across a dentist that treats you with as much care and hospitality that Coleman dentistry has shown me. These people actually care about you and want what's best for your dental health unlike most out there. Over the course of a year with many follow up appointments for my implant not once did I leave feeling like I wasn't in great care. Every step of the way I was treated with the upmost hospitality from Staci and Alisa being the nicest ladies getting me all up to date and dialed in setting up future appointments too Dr. John and Sarah going that extra step to make sure I was always comfortable. If I could give this place 6/5 stars I would! Definitely my new go to dentist! read more

Hands down the best dental office in San Diego! The staff and customer service are top notch. I was looking for a new dentist in North County and found them through a referral a few years ago, I've gotten all of my work done here and my only regret is not finding them sooner. read more

This place is so amazing! I have unfortunately been to many dentists before that have either been rude, done a poor job, or even worse- both. But, Coleman & Coleman exceeded my expectations and some. I appreciate the friendliness and helpfulness that everyone here provided; they made a dental office seem like a fun place to be which isn't the easiest to achieve! They also recommend me to great places for an endodontist and oral surgeon for my wisdom teeth. I got a few fillings done here about a week ago, and it was the quickest yet most efficient process I have ever experienced which was great. Thank you to you all for being the best! read more

Could never ask for a greater experience. Everyone is so friendly and professional. They go out of there way to make sure your comfortable and that your treated with gentleness and care. I can't say enough these guys. Please give them a shot. You won't regret it. I wish there were more than 5 stars. read more

The search is over! Finally found the best dentist in North County! The team at Coleman is the friendliest I've ever experienced. The office is clean, the staff is professional and very well trained, and the prices are affordable. Coleman also does an amazing job of working around your schedule and fitting you in wherever is convenient for you. I highly recommend, and am very happy to finally settle down with the perfect dentist office! read more

There isn't enough space to write the experience I've had here so far. I've struggled with my smile for years, and after being a "princess" of a consulting patient, today I began everything. I left the office after phase one (of a few), and I already feel like a different person. The experience provided, personality of the staff, and the procedure itself- remarkable. Recommended to get a consultation from a co-worker- best advice I've taken in a long time. read more

I came to Dr. Coleman and Coleman on a recommendation. They exceeded my expectations. Iwent to Western-dental in a frantic having a broken crown and and missing tooth. After going to western dental and being charged almost $5000 for an implant I didn't even really need seemed like I was being played on for my state of fear and sickness from losing a tooth. Dr. Coleman fixed 2 of my teethe I ended up going to another recommended dentist very trusted for a second opinion. I'm happy I did!! read more

Awesome experience! Well, as awesome as a visit to the dentist can be. I was quite apprehensive when I arrived for my appointment but was quickly put it is by the friendly, compassionate staff. Dr. John explained what he was planning to do step-by-step and then explained as we went through the procedure, keeping me in the loop and comfortable in the process. Thanks for being so good at what you guys do. read more

Seeing as my previous review was thorough I don't have much to add to it other than over the past 2 years I've had the same hygienist each time, so I can say there is very little turnover here. It's not just about building that relationship with the dentist, but the entire staff. read more

Honestly I am horrified of the dentist. I hadn't been in over 7 years but I had no choice. After lots of research I decided to call the office to make a consultation appointment. I was very pleasantly surprised to learn that the consultation was free. Most of the other dentists I had looked at wanted $150 - $250 up front to be credited towards any work done in the future. What if I didn't like them?. But not this office!!! I was so nervous when I went in but Dr. John and the staff quickly made me feel very comfortable. I had the exam and x-rays and we were able to come up with a treatment plan that fit my budget and gave me the smile I have always wanted. My first appointment went without a hitch and thanks to the sedation dentistry I don't remember a thing. Now I am all finished and have a smile I can be proud of. Thank you Dr. John and staff for being so awesome. I am actually looking forward to my next appointment for a cleaning. read more

Still 5 stars after all these years. Woke up with a toothache yesterday and I had the sinking feeling my wisdom tooth had finally decided to cause problems for me. I called C&C and they were as accommodating as always and got me in yesterday afternoon. Dr John Jr has taken over handling me as a client from Dr John Sr and I will tell you the apple does not fall far from the tree. Dr John Jr was amazing and confirmed that the wisdom tooth needed to come out, Now as a reformed dentaphobe this rekindled my old fears of dentists and now I was facing an extraction. Dr John got me situated with some prescriptions and told me he would try to rework his schedule to get me in as soon as he could. 24 hours later the office called and said they could fit me in if I could get right down there. Everybody there was amazing. I mean, how do they do it? Find such pleasant caring people who clearly get along with each other and care so much for their patients. His staff is the best. Anyway, into the chair I went with all of the trepidation I had amassed in the last 24 hours and it was a breeze. Something to relax me, a bit of gas and some novocaine and it was over. Dr John's calming demeanor is identical to his fathers. If you were like me and avoided the dentist this is the place for you. After more than 10 years and now with the second generation Dentist this is still the best I've ever been to. My wife left her long term dentist last year and also goes to C&C. She agrees with my assessment that Dr John and his team are the best. read more

I have had a long history of dental problems and had never been comfortable with a dentist until I went to Coleman Dentistry. I had more than a dental phobia, it was dental panic. I was in need of a cleaning, so I tried Coleman. The staff set the tone of the office. The ladies who great you when you arrive are so nice and genuinely friendly. First timers get a tour of the office (good idea) and the best first impression you could ask for. The hygienist was gentle and took her time. I knew I needed work, so I wasn't surprised when she mentioned it. I met with Dr John and was pleased with his calm demeanor. Everything I needed was explained without pressure. I could get another opinion if I wanted, and they would keep my file in case I decided to return. I've been going there for a few years now and I couldn't be happier with Coleman. No more anxiety, no surprise diagnoses, no mystery procedures. I've had several good checkups now and finally have a genuine smile. Recommended without hesitation. read more

I've been coming to them for two years now and Doctor Coleman has been great. I've always been EXTREMELY self conscious about my teeth and he has helped changed that. They've been so flexible with me since my move to LA, and today after several months of not being in town I had the pleasure of meeting a new face today, Laura. She was so sweet. I had even asked her about an issue a friend has as well and she had even taken the time to discuss his issue with me; not many people would do that. That's what makes places stand out from others, when they take the time to help not just you but your loved ones as well. She really took her time with me and made sure I was comfortable after months of not being seen. It was a nice welcome back. Thanks girl read more

Most comfortable filling I've ever gotten since they use air brush drilling!! Also, I've gotten the most comfortable cleaning here as well -- I think her name is Cheryl and she's booked like a month in advance! I like Dr. Coleman because he shares interesting tidbits with me while he works on my mouth and I really feel like I can trust him. I'm very picky with my doctors and he really puts me at ease. read more

Best Dentist ever!! Have been to several Dentists throughout North County. Dr. Coleman is the best, I have always had to have root canals, fillings, name it I had it since I was a young child. Have always taken very good care by flossing and brushing... but with very little enamel not good. At 26 I went through a horror finding out I had Root Resorption not to mention I was 4 months pregnant as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_resorption Dr. Coleman and his assistant Julia made everything go by wonderfully. This was a traumatic time for me but with their care and incredible awareness I got through it. I have referred many many people to him and will continue... also his son is now a dentist with him as well, I have heard great things about him. read more

If you're looking for a new dentist look no further!! I experienced the best customer service I've ever experienced here. Everyone is extremely nice and helpful. I was very pleased with the work that I got done today and can't wait to come back for some cosmetic work. I've never been a fan of the dentist and have had some pretty negative experiences but Coleman & Coleman Advanced Dentistry completely changed my mind. Thank you for all you did for me and getting me in so quickly! Can't wait to be back in two weeks! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Coleman for the last 9 years and could not ask for a better Dentist. Dr. C and Dr. John have the right tools so the patient has the BEST Customer experience. His staff are amazing and so kind and accommodating. Thank you Erin and Heidi! You and the ladies there are ROCKSTARS to the nth degree! Dr. C explains every option available to you and does make recommendations that will in the long run be cost effective. He's as honest as the day is long and I really appreciate how comfortable he and his staff make me when I have my appointments. If you are looking for a Dentist, go see mine! You won't regret it! read more

UPDATE: I had my cleaning today and i didnt feel an ounce of pain. This has never happened with any other dentist ive seen. Cheryl was outstanding and talked me through my entire cleaning to make sure i knew what was going on and that i remained pain free. I have never left a dentist smiling, but i did today. Cant wait to go back in May for another cleaning. I feel like im finally on the right road to a healthy smile. Im confident that this place is the answers to my fear and anxiety caused for past nightmare visits to my old dentist. This place for one is gorgeous... Doesn't smell or feel like a dentist office at all. As a new patient, my xrays and first exam was free. Dr.Coleman(the dad) is who i met today and was such a friendly, understanding and gentle man. He explained to me a treatment i should undergo for my gums and for the first time in 4 years, i'm actually looking forward to my cleaning (which they scheduled me for tomorrow, super fast) and to have a feel good healthy smile. and lastly, they even gave me a present lol! Highly recommend this practice and my fiancé will be coming here too. Extremely good find. :) read more

Absolutely the friendliest Dental Office and staff I've ever encountered. Left smiling and will return smiling. Highly recommended! Thank you!! read more

The best dentist is SD! I have VERY sensitive teeth and both Dr. Coleman's take extra care and explain everything before I even open my mouth. Very gentle. read more

From the moment you walk in Dr. Coleman's office you feel a sense of calm. No strong dental odor that makes so many uncomfortable. The warm and friendly staff are really unmatched in my 42 years of visiting doctor's offices for my self and 3 children. Dr. Coleman has the most calm, caring, gentle and soothing way about him not to mention the knowledge of his craft to make you never want to enter another dental office! Give them a visit and take a tour, you will not regret it! read more

I was in dentistry for 25 yrs & when I met both Dr's & their staff, I knew I was in the right place. Great communication skills from everyone, very punctual & pain free, excellent dentistry provided. They have exceeded my expectations. Cheryl the hygienist has a gentle touch & we all look forward to our cleanings. You won't be disappointed. Stacey W read more

SCAM ARTISTS! BEWARE!!! When I came into this office I was told I had 12 cavities, needed 2 crowns (from alleged cracked teeth) and it was suggested I consider Invisalign. The estimate for this work was something like $12,000. This diagnosis was totally incorrect! After believing for a few minutes that my mouth was doomed and leaving their office in tears, I quickly scheduled a second and third opinion at other dentists because it didn't add up to me how in six months since my last cleaning and checkup I could possibly have developed so many issues (especially with my religious flossing and brushing and never having missed a cleaning). Both other dentist offices said I had one small Cavity, did not need to consider braces, and absolutely did not have any cracked teeth. Coleman will convince you that you need tons of completely unnecessary work so they can make money off you. This office is full of completely unethical and immoral "dental professionals" who really should have their licenses revoked. If I could give zero stars I would. Don't be fooled by their fancy office full of frills (which come at the cost of innocent patients having unnecessary dental procedures performed). read more

Amazing place! Always friendly and welcoming when you walk in. They truly care about your progress and even get excited to see your results! I am beyond thrilled with the level of care I have been getting from this office. Each and every person from Heidi at the front desk to Dr. Coleman himself have been amazing! I can not recommend a dental office more than I would recommend Coleman and Coleman! read more

The whole staff must have been hand picked by the doctor's for friendliness, going the extra mile, great personality and warm smiles. I have always felt very welcomed coming here, like I am important to their business and they want me to be not only happy, but fully understand my treatment plans and what each step of the process is next. Thanks to all of you, you make a great team. read more

Went in for a tooth needing a crown, the crown did not fit properly bad alignment. Went back and had an adjustment. It was better but then came off! Went to another Dentist to get it done right. They suck! read more
