Today I got a second opinion on my teeth measurements because something hadn't been sitting right with me after visiting two offices in La Jolla over the past year. Over the phone, Jennifer was extremely kind, considerate, and knowledgeable. She took the time to address recommendations that felt counterintuitive to my oral care and happily educated me on my concerns. When I arrived, the receptionists immediately knew who I was and greeted me warmly--clear evidence of strong communication among the staff. Julie was quick and efficient with the X-rays, and Dr. Rauterkus was refreshingly honest and gave me so much clarity on the issues I've been facing. Overall, the office is extremely clean, the staff is wonderful, and the environment feels genuinely happy. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Great doctors, hygienists, and staff. My wife and I and our kids have gone here for years and they are all professional and great at what they do. I do not feel like another "number" and I feel like myself and family are truly cared for here. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Rauterkus and his whole team were top notch exceptional. They made me feel so comfortable, explained everything they were going to do, consulted with me to make sure they did what I wanted. I had my teeth whitened, then had some bonding added to my two front teeth that were worn due to many years of grinding. It's like night and day. Dr. Rauterkus is like an artist for teeth. He took so much care in getting my teeth exactly the way I wanted them and they look fantastic. I couldn't be happier! His whole staff was so kind and considerate and thoughtful too. This is definitely a business I would recommended whole heartedly! read more

My 20 year old daughter went here and loved the staff. She is excited to pick up her whitening trays and see her brighter smile.

I have an abnormal fear of the dentist. It has been ongoing for 69 years. I lost a crown and was forced to get over myself and pick a dentist in San Diego. At my cousins recommendation I called Dentistry for all Ages in Poway. I was scheduled with Dr.Cantwell. Let me just say this. His care was exemplary. He was gentle and kind. I had a new crown in one two hour visit. I was very tense but everything was thoughtfully and carefully executed. The technology was top notch. 3D imaging instead of molds, high tech crown creation using the best materials and with one minor adjustment the crown fit perfectly!! I was informed that because of a deep cavity I might have sensitivity to hot and cold because of some nerve exposure. Nope. Tooth feels great and I was eating the same day. It is nice to have new confidence in the dentist. Thank you Dr Cantwell and his assistant Lori. read more

Dr David provides the best dental care. Great personality, makes you feel very comfortable in the chair. A true professional you can count on to provide the very best dental care. read more

Dr. Rauterkus and his staff have always been professional, friendly and extremely competent. Dr. Rauterkus is very patient and will explain step by step what he is doing, I get the impression he loves what he's doing. Melissa is the best, most thorough hygienist I've ever been to. The front office staff is always a pleasure to work with. I drive 40 minutes one way for my appointments, not because there are no dentist in my area, but because I have the utmost confidence in this dental practice. read more

I had my teeth cleaned this morning and I am so happy I did! Melissa was very caring and I could tell she enjoyed what she did! Thanks to all the staff too. Thank you! Susan Elsdon read more

FANTASTIC experience at Dr. Rauterkus' office Monday. Friendly competent staff. Kimberly did my teeth cleaning and she is wonderful. Have already recommended my sister-in-law to them and will recommend more people. Linda Dotson read more

I have been seeing Dr. David since the time he was working for another dentist some 30 years ago. When that dentist retired and I found out Dr. David branched out on his own my family and I moved to Dr. David's practice. Both my girls grew up (my youngest is 21) seeing Dr. David and neither one of them had problems going to the dentist. Matter of fact my youngest would ask when she was going again; her twice a year teeth cleanings/checkups were just not enough, she loved going to see the dentist. Why did she like going to the dentist so much? Dr. David and his staff have created a warm and inviting practice... and maybe it was also because Dr. David used to make balloon animals for his young patients. Melissa is my favorite hygienist, she is quick and thorough, but also very personable and I love our conversations (and she so good about not asking something when I have my mouth open and can't reply. Don't you hate that when that happens?) Dr. David is extremely good at what he does. My recent crown replacement went so smoothly and quickly. I was so pleased with the results. I have recommended Dr. David Rauterkus to many friends over the years and many have become his patients. read more

All the staff at Dr. Rauterkaus office are amazing professional and very caring! I drive hours each way to see them for all my dental needs because they are that good and trustworthy! read more

I recently had a crown fall off that was made by a different dentist. I went to Dr. David to get it fixed -- he and his staff were so helpful and nice! They fit me in last minute and were able to get a new permanent crown built and installed same-day in under 2 hours. I'm an engineer and I really appreciated that Dr. David took the time to explain the entire procedure and took the time to show me what he was doing and why. They also have the latest technology to be able to create crowns in office quickly and accurately that fit like a glove. I highly recommend Dr. David and his staff to anyone. read more

Dr. Rauterkus was referred to me by a friend 20 years ago. Both he and his staff are amazing! I finally decided to have the Zoom teeth whitening procedure performed in office. The procedure was approximately 1.5 hrs. I got great results and my teeth were visibly a few shades lighter. My teeth had some sensitivity for 24 hours but otherwise no issues. I highly recommend Dr. Rauterkus and his team for teeth cleaning, teeth whitening, and Invisalign. read more

Like my dentist Dr Rauterkus because of his realistic and professional way of working. Staff is very friendly and always willing to help and explain. Recommend Dr Rauterkus to everybody looking for a professional and honest dentist. read more

I have to travel over a hour to go to this office, I would not even consider going anywhere else closer. The staff is very thoughtful and friendly and very knowledgeable. I have been going to this dentist for years and never had any issues. Would highly recommend it read more

What can I say. They are all fabulous! Every person I've encountered from the front office and Kimberly, my hygienist, and today I met Lori & Dr Chris. Over the years they all have answered all my questions, worked with me on appointment days/times. Most of all they have eased my anxiety about going to the dentist. I highly recommend this office. read more

It`s unbelievable that a dentist has 5 stars! No it is not. I broke my front tooth Friday night, called him and he scheduled me next day(Saturday) in the morning. He came in with a big smile and great attitude despite being a Saturday, by the way they are not open on Saturdays. He fixed it so I could get through the weekend and scheduled an appointment for the next Monday. I met the whole crew there and everyone was very nice and attentive. In less than 2 hours I left with a new tooth, permanent solution and very happy with the result. Last of all, Dr. Rauterkus texted me the next day to check how I was feeling. If I could I would give his office 10 stars! Thanks Dr Rauterkus and team. read more

We love Dr. Rauterkus and his staff. My family and I have been going to him for years. Everyone is extremely friendly from the front desk staff, to all of the hygienists and the doctor. They've always made my kids feel at ease and will squeeze you in on a moments notice for a chipped tooth. Extremely happy with our care there. read more

I have not been to a dentist in years and was really dreading going in. The staff here made me feel very comfortable, they explained everything they will be doing and answered any questions I had. I personally have seen Kimberly, Lori and Dr.Rauterkus and they have all been fantastic. Even the front office staff is so helpful in scheduling my next appointments and working with my dental insurance to make sure I know exactly what is going on. I would highly recommend this dental office. read more

Dr. David and his team were wonderful. They were professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to welcome me into their practice.

Another great visit, except this time for my teenage son transitioning from his pediatric dentist. Staff is always very friendly and helpful and I like that the dr gives us options to address my son's need to replace an old composite from a previously chipped tooth. read more

My first visit to Dr. Rauterkus office was great! Felt like family the moment I walked in! Everyone was so nice and welcoming from Michelle and Anita in reception to Lori (RDA). Thank you for giving me a whiter, brighter smile!! read more

Dr. Rauterkus is the best. I've had horrible experiences recently with other dentist in San Diego. Dr R. Was referred to me by a friend, and I couldn't be more thankful!!! He's the most caring doctor out there and just so knowledgeable. I had a cracked tooth that needed a crown. The crown that he made is amazing, perfect color, shape, and size!! I was eating two hours after with no pain or issues. The tooth is flawless! Seriously an artist with his work! Ill be a Patience for life I can't be more thankful for this practice !!! There is no wait time with having to have a temporary crown since he makes crowns in house. It's worth everything. I'm no longer afraid of the dentist, save your teeth, time and money by coming here. read more

I am new to this dentist office, but had a really great experience for my first visit including a cleaning, X-rays and consult with the dentist. I cannot wait to go back and get my teeth whitened. read more

Not only is Dr. Rauterkus a supreme dentist, he has a work ethic beyond compare. He has been our dentist for several years now and we have never been in a happier office. His staff is like his family and everyone of them seem to truly enjoy their work. The frosting on the cake is that Dr. R. has the most progressive equipment and techniques in the industry. It's very surprising to be able to walk into a dental office to have a crown done and then walk out an hour or so later with the perfect crown (no temporaries or lab work to be endured), He is a dental genius. read more

Fantastic, friendly and very knowledgeable staff. Great treatment - I was totally comfortable the whole time!

I have been a patient of Dr. Rauterkus for over a decade. He & his entire staff are friendly, knowledgeable & professional. They are continuously educating themselves regarding the most current dental practices. I respect the fact that he always includes me in any decision-making process. And during this time of COVID-19, I feel they take the utmost care in keeping patients and their staff safe. read more

Our family has been going to this office for 20 plus years. Always look forward to the appointments, even though that might seem odd for going to the dentist.

After many years of traumatic dental experiences growing up, I'm happy to have finally found a great dental office that makes me feel 100% relaxed. The Hygienists are super nice, and GENTAL! I now can say that I love getting my teeth cleaned. I've been seen by Dr. Rauterkus for minor treatment as well as Invisalign over the past few years and I couldn't be happier with the results. This is definitely not a stuffy office. All the staff seem genuinely happy, and helpful. I've recommended everyone I know who is looking for a new Dentist to this office! read more

Results that make my smile more healthy every time I leave the office! Thank you Dr. David, Julie (RDS), Melissa (hygienist) and the rest of the staff for making my visits so enjoyable! read more

5 stars to all the staff and to Dr. Rauterkus! I have been coming here along with my now adult children for many years and the quality care and friendly atmosphere is always present. I see Melissa twice a year for teeth cleaning, and she is gentle, efficient and beautiful. Wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Did a great job on my son's extractions and has great technology in house for same day onlays. I'd recommend in a second and I've seen dentists from CA to Maine. read more

I am still a patient at the practice, and continue to be impressed with their services. Everyone there is skilled, efficient and friendly. Dr. David keeps up with all the medical and technological advances in the field, bringing that knowledge to his practice for the benefit of his patients. I cannot say enough good things about this office. read more

We just moved to poway and I drive by this office everyday. In search for a new dentist I decided to call and make an appointment. Everyone in the office is extremely polite. Love Dr. David love Melissa the hygienist. She did an awesome job with my teeth cleaning.

I was nervous all day because of websites stating that I might get gum infection for things stuck within my gums.. (People, don't rely too much on websites and go to the real professionals!). So immediately, Of course, I scheduled an appointment with the nearest dentist. Honestly, starting from the phone call to real treatment--it was all so pleasant! It was oddly calming to be around these people. I was nervous and a bit agitated because of my gums but they were so helpful in every way. They were all so incredibly caring and sweet! Made me want to have cavities just so I could visit them more often! Lol...jk. Really. I currently have another dentist but have decided to change just simply and actually most importantly because I trust these guys way more. These guys are definitely professionals. Julie was amazing and Dr. Rauterkus was so informative and very helpful. Plus, I got my sweet Potato burnt skin out of my gums for free (just because it was my first time being there!). Definitely recommend to any and all who are looking for a reliable, trustworthy dentist and staff! read more

I've been going to Dr. Rauterkus for years and love seeing him and his staff. They do a great job and all their equipment is very up to date with technology. The staff always remembers me and makes you feel comfortable when coming to the dentist is definitely not my most favorite thing in the world. They also do great discount specials for the Zoom whitening, which I've done a few times now. Definitely works better than white strips and you can watch Netflix while you wait! Would highly recommend it to anyone looking to whiten their teeth quickly and that want it to last! read more

Dr Dave has been my dentist for more years than I can remember. He is attentive,kind, and knowledgeable. I have referred several friends to his practice and they have all been very happy with their care. The longevity of his office staff and dental hygienists say a lot about the practice being more like a family than a workplace. I moved to LA several years ago and travel to San Diego for my cleanings and any dental work....his staff is that good!!!! read more
