Pretty great experience overall from booking to the appt itself. I was running 10/15 minutes late and the office was flexible and accommodating. Check-in was easy and quick as I was able to do a lot of the paperwork online ahead of the appt time. Very friendly and chatty staff. Cleaning felt thorough and was efficient - was in and out in less than 40 minutes for my 1st appointment cleaning with x-rays. I like that they take real-time photos to show you, beyond x-rays, what looks good and what may need work. The cleaning itself was well-done: I usually like to get a numbing gel on my gums to help with pain or sensitivity, but didn't need it and felt comfortable for the duration. I had a small cavity and was able to get it filled on-the-spot in 10 minutes - my entire time at the office was still less than 1 hour. I was worried about how long it'd take (I needed to get home for a meeting) and Dr. Afshar had me check Google maps for my ETA/traffic before she started the procedure, to ensure I'd be on time. Really appreciate the level of consideration and service. read more

I'm not a fan of going to the Dentist. I needed a lot of work and not looking forward to my appointments. Dr Afshar and staff were so professional, calming and always concerned about my comfort. I now have my smile back and a can't be more pleased with the services of Coronado Smiles... read more

Honestly to start off this review, I feel like giving this place a 1 star is generous. I am currently pregnant and needed to get my teeth cleaned and updated X-Rays. My appointment was scheduled at 11:00 am but I received a called at 10:45 when I was already in the parking lot. The receptionist told me they were cancelling my appointment the very last minute because I needed a dental clearance for my OBGYN, she was very rude and was quick to hang up the phone after I had questions about it. Not a problem. I got the dental clearance 2 minutes after this call and was able to still make it to my appointment. Upon arriving, it didn't seem like a very welcoming place. I think the only pleasant experience I had was the dental assistant who took my X-rays. Seeing the actual dentist she had told me I had gingivitis and said that it could harm me and my unborn baby if I didn't come see her again for another cleaning in 3 MONTHS!! I'm still absolutely disgusted by this unprofessional behavior. I'm due in 3 months and I know for a fact that a pregnant women would not want to be sitting in those uncomfortable chairs just for another teething cleaning. My husband is active duty so we have United Concordia and I'm able to get teeth cleaning every 6 months but this dental office expected me to be okay with paying out of pocket for some mediocre teeth cleaning. I have a new fear of dentists for sure. This was a horrific experience and I absolutely hate this place. read more

Wow, Great staff! Dr. Afshar is a professional!!! My son chipped his front tooth. They accommodated to see us first thing in the morning. She was gentle and made the process a breeze! Thank you! read more

Love love love Coronado Smiles Dental!! Everyone is so sweet and helpful. I am definitely not big on going to the dentist and this place makes me feel great about getting my dental problems fixed finally. My teenage kids like this place a lot also.

We are a military family and as long as we live in Coronado, this is the place I will be going to! read more

Very nice office and great care. Professional and competent staff. Modern equipment and very clean environment. Highly recommend.

Had a great experience at Coronado Smiles. The staff are friendly and professional, you never wait more than 5 minutes, and you enjoy Netflix shows while your teeth are getting the best care. I have super sensitive teeth and have never been this comfortable. Dr. Afshar is amazing; she is gentle, very knowledgeable and experienced. Thank you Dr. Afshar. I am actually looking forward to my next appointment ! read more

The office is new and really pleasant, from the open well-lit waiting room (including an available massage chair to relax in) to the advanced equipment being used. They even have a tv in the ceiling! Dr. Afshar and her assistant Katherine were very friendly and attentive, as well as thorough and professional. It was truly a personable and stress free experience. They had a terrific introductory offer and I was able to get an appointment that fit my schedule very easily. Highly recommend going here! read more

Do not go to Dr. Ashfar! I have never had a more horrifying experience. I had to get an implant for a front tooth and she was the dentist who placed the crown. The crown was gray and you could see the stem of the implant. She told me to find a deep shade of red lipstick. That's a first getting makeup advice to cover up horrible dentistry. She's awful and rude to boot! read more

In the past, I have had bad experiences with dentists. Truthfully, I have been a scaredy-cat until I began going to Coronado Smiles. All the staff are friendly. Dr. Afshar is kind and patient. She will make you feel at ease. I strongly recommend this office. read more

I was very happy with the care I received from Coronado Smiles. Great care by great folks! I was sad to leave. But, the Navy calls. I will miss the level of comfort I had expressing my concerns and being met with compassion and excellent care. read more

Dr. Afshar is terrific!! I have really bad anxiety when it comes to the dentist due to a bad experience as a kid. Dr.Afshar was very patient and accommodating along with her assistant . Juanita in the front desk is friendly and professional. I love the Tv screens on the ceilings. read more

We are a military family and recently moved to Coronado... I had been putting off finding a dentist for months until someone recommended Coronado Smiles on Facebook. So close to home and such a relaxing and friendly office. The staff is so sweet and they make you feel right at home. read more

It is sad that Dr. Afshar and her staff were so disappointing. I went to this dental office after having a terrible experience at another. This was after I decided to try another dentist other than Dr. Afshar because she could not manage to repair my sister's crown on repeated occasions. So I went back to Dr. Afshar again after a filling that another dentist did for me fell out. Dr. Afshar did get me in quickly but when I care in she offered to adjust my mouth guard because she thought it may have caused my filling to fall out. She told me to come in the followings Monday and she would fix it, no big deal. So I called her on Monday to ask when I could be seen. She told me abruptly that she was booked and that she could not see me. Then I told her I didn't know I had to make an appointment as that was not my job as a patient to follow up with the receptionist about my appointment. I was so confused, she acted like it was not a big issue but when I tried to come in to follow through with what she said initially she acted like I had done something wrong. Thus her rapport and communication style with patients is unclear as well as rude at best and combative at worst. It is unfortunate that after my telling her about my past negative experience with a dentist she could not make this a really great one for me. read more

I have pretty intense anxiety when it comes to the dentist. I have nothing but negative dental experiences in my 27 years, but that changed today! This is by far the best visit I have ever had. I had 6 fillings done and didn't feel a thing, not even the injections. Dr. Afshar and her assistant, Katharine, are amazing and incredibly kind. They spent quite a bit of time with me, reassuring and informing me on everything they were doing. I didn't feel foolish for my fear and didn't feel pressured to have work done that I didn't want. The office is also a very cozy environment, with a children's room, coffee, massage chair, and your choice of music and Netflix. I cannot give them enough praise for their professionalism and kindness. I will definitely be using this practice from now on! read more

Another wonderful visit to Coronado Smiles Dental - and I bet there aren't many people who can say that about going to the dentist! Dr. Afshar and her staff are warm, caring and great at what they do. I'd recommend them very highly! read more

Dr Katie Afshar is an excellent dentist. Her staff is well trained and friendly. The office is modern and equipped with many amenities to make the patient comfortable and relaxed. I recommend Dr Afshar to anyone looking for a Coronado dentist read more

First visit last Thursday. Dr.Afshar was actually the one who did my cleaning and she was very very gentle. Just moved to Coronado so I'm happy I decided to go with her Dental office. Other staff were also very nice. Glad I chose correctly. Will be looking forward to future visits. read more

I took our 9 year old in for a cleaning and checkup because she took our insurance. Excellent new/super clean office in the new office building on 9th. TV on the ceiling with headphones and Netflix, so our son was happy. Added bonus - There's a relaxation room with a massage chair where I waited. read more

Dr. Afshar was great!!Office is new and sleek!!! I got a cleaning and xrays, and upon getting my x ray they found a cavity. I got the cavity filled same day and it took no time at all. I can even eat today and no numbing shots or anything!!! Great experience, definitely will be back for my cleaning in 6 months. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Dr. Afshar has been my dentist for almost 2 years. She and her staff are top of the line. When I have experienced dental problems, she always manages to fit me in her schedule. Once while out of town I called her office in an emergency and by the time I was back in town, she had already arranged for me to meet her in the office. Dr. Afshar is not only friendly and caring but also maintains a high degree of knowledge and professionalism. I've never left an appointment without feeling that I was treated fairly and competently. Teeth cleaning is no longer a dreaded experience. The state of the art equipment makes it practically pain free. Coronado Smiles complex is new, clean and inviting. If you're lucky you may just get to your appointment one day after Juanita has made a batch of her yummy brownies! read more

My teenagers first visited Dr. Afshar when we had to change dentists for insurance purposes. I was impressed with the care and kindness they received, so much so that I decided to make an appointment for myself (after avoiding the dentist for 10+ years). I am thankful to have found an excellent dental clinic. My comfort and care was their top priority. The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate patients - willing to see me on a day off when my temporary came out because I was foolish and ate chewy candy. Furthermore, Dr. Afshar agreed to open 30 minutes early to accommodate my schedule. I am so thankful for Coronado Smiles! read more

I have the best experience ever with Dr. Afshar and her staff. Everybody is very professional and understanding. I had a fear of going to dental office, until I met Dr. Afshar. She is very patient and knows how to take care of someone like me!!! I love her office and now i have a completely different attitude toward taking care of my dental needs without fear. Love the office, love the staff, love the best doctor ever, thank you! read more

The best dentist I have been to in San Diego. From the time I walked in the door, until I left, was such an amazing experience. My teeth feel so clean and look so shiny. read more

Wonderful staff and very cute & clean place! Came in for an emergency visit on vacation and was very impressed. They got me in the same day I called and the dentist was very professional and personable. Great location and place. A positive experience all around! read more

Everything Kristy said is true. Nice environment, and savvy dental experience. My own outcome was not 5 out of 5 stars. On my latest timeshare trip to Coronado, (I have coming for some 20 years), I had 11 teeth resurfaced over 2 days, and got way too much lidocaine each time...took me about 5 hours for my teeth to get feeling back each time. Teeth looked fine from the front, but there were still cavities on the backside of the teeth that went untreated. I then went to a local dentist closer to my home in the high desert for a cavity check, and was told that the plastic that the dentist used was opaque to X-rays and the local dentist could not easily repair my teeth without those X-rays. I currently do not know how to get around this problem except to look at "older" pictures of my teeth. I was NOT told about the use of OPAQUE plastic to cover my teeth. If this doesn't bother you, then the dentist is very competent. BTW I have a doctorate in chemistry and should have known better... The California Dental Board was found to be self-policing, and was not receptive to any legal complaints. read more

I moved to Coronado recently and was looking for a Dentist. I was apprehensive seeing as though I had been seeing my Dentist for 14 years. Thankfully Dr Ashfar was recommended, I needed restoration work done as well as my family needing general dentistry. We couldn't be happier with Dr Ashfar and her staff. My Veneer restorations turned out magnificent as well as a replacement crown I was in need of. I never thought I would say I actually enjoyed my time at the dentist office but Dr Ashfar and her wonderful staff make you feel completely comfortable in every way. I can't say enough about Coronado Smiles. read more

Always on-time, friendly and professional. Seldom happy to be at a dentist office, but this team gets the job done with as much pleasantness as possible. read more

Dr. Afshar is absolutely the best! My crown fell out today and I called and left a message for someone to call me when they opened tomorrow. She telephoned me back right away and met me at her office this evening to fix it. It is New Year's Day and a Sunday and she still puts her patients first. It is good as new now and I am forever grateful. Thank you Dr. Afshar, my family will be your patients forever!! read more

Coronado Smiles is terrific. Never had such gentle dental work done. Wish they could go with me every where I move!
