    Dr. Casey the owner does not take criticism or opposition whatsoever. They messed up on my wife's procedure that's all I will elaborate as it is a personal matter. When I told Dr. Casey that they made an error he got mad & told me to leave. He did not want to be challenged or questioned. At Dental Express they are all about the money & not about helping their patients

    Root canal Dr Davis, Dental Express Point Loma. Avoid this guy like the plague. Repeated Unnecessary X-rays on unrelated teeth, i imagine to simply run up insurance bill. But definitely not good for you. The tools they went to use for my root canal were literally rusted with old rubber bands on them. He about your concerns, then belittles with his defensive response, until you just want to leave. No way you want this guy as your dentist in San Diego...I'd rather go to Tijuana for dental work than Dental Express.

    The reception with a lovely ladies!

    The dental Express with approximately five locations in San Diego is the best dentist in San Diego. Please do yourself and your family on your insurance, a favor and come here

    Express train in dental chair.

    Okay. Let's start with the obvious. THERE'S A TRAIN!!! Every piece of grown man child in me just melted with awe and fascination. I'm here to have a tooth pulled and it's not gonna be pretty. The train helps. I walked into this office expecting to see kiddy toys all over the place because there is a big train outside adverting kid friendly. I was under the impression that it was predisposed to kids. But my tooth is killing me and they're open on Fridays. I walk in to find a very adult waiting room. Not just adult, but for fancy. I thought to myself... "My insurance is barely gonna scratch the surface of what this is gonna cost." The girls at reception were very nice and professional. The music is 80's pop so another fine feature. I'm all about the 80's. My dentist is Asian. I don't bring that up because of anything racial like fewer Asian dentists or surprises to see an Asian dentist or because Asians are better or anything like that. I bring it up because he was hot. He took my concerns about the initial invasion into my mouth with a needle to heart and did his best to limit the pain. That shit still hurt though. Unless I'm already unconscious, a needle in my gums is still the worst. The extraction didn't hurt, but it was still traumatic, The cracking, the pressure,the.. the... the whole process.... just not my favorite thing to have done. Then he starts giving me instructions on after care while in still in shock from the nightmarish event I just went through.... Now he did as great if a job as could be done. The experience was as mild as any dentist could make it. Unfortunately that did nothing for the trauma I put myself through waiting for the moment where the numbing shots stopped working. All in all, there was the train. Every 10 minutes or so it came through the hole in the wall and made it better.

    I was absolutely dreading to have my molar pulled for years. The constant pain was finally getting the best of me. I finally decided to arrange the extraction with Dental Express on Point Loma Blvd. I will say, DR. DAVIS DO D.D.S. and his staff were very pleasant and professional to work with. He was very communicative and efficient. Thank you for making me comfortable during this procedure and as painless as possible!

    I can't thank Dr. Hage and Dr. Dina enough for my smile makeover …read more I was interested in having my teeth look whiter and more symmetrical. They started with Dr. Hage taking my wisdom teeth out , and then Dr. Dina did some quick composite (white colored) fillings to close some gaps for me. They had informed me about ortho being the best the long term plan but gave me alternatives since I needed something with faster results for my bests friends wedding . I would also like to add that their hygienists Mona and Hanza are the coolest, they do a great job and it's all pain free! Thank you for your care.

    DO NOT GO HERE. Save yourself the trauma and money…read more I saw Dr. Hage for a implant of one of my lower front teeth. I was told I needed partial braces to create space, which I had for months before the implant process started (which was fine) . Honestly the gal who did my braces was wonderful, I feel sorry for her to be associated with this practice. Immediately after the first step of placing the post for the implant, the XRAY noticeably showed it touching the root of my healthy adjacent tooth. I didn't say anything in the moment because what do I know. Once I got to my car I was extremely alarmed to see that same tooth had also shifted dramatically (almost turned inward). I called and was reassured it was "normal". I began experiencing severe pain, not at the implant site, but in the healthy tooth. Despite multiple follow-up visits and ongoing complaints of pain and instability, my concerns were repeatedly dismissed by Dr. Hage and I was told nothing was wrong and it just needed to "heal". The tone in these visits came off as an annoyance to him and like he's the professional and I don't know what I'm talking about. Months later I went through a second procedure to attempt to reposition the post, which ultimately failed and required removal of the post and a then bone graft to fill the hole in my jaw. After two years of all this, I still had no implant, and my main concern now became the constant pain and instability of the obviously damaged tooth. I couldn't bite into solid foods without feeling like it would fall out. I sought second opinions from two specialists, first one also identified an infection in the root of the damaged tooth (which she ended up treating with antibiotics). Both specialists confirmed the tooth is unlikely to recover and will need reconstructive work in the future. DO YOUR RESEARCH! There are great implant specialists San Diego, he is not one of them in my opinion.

    To Dr. Ryan and Team:…read more I cannot express my gratitude enough to each of you individually, so I'll try here. At the end of 2025 when I was having a dental emergency, Abbey did everything in her power to get me in right away (I called very late in the afternoon and was seen first thing the next morning) and even though I had to go to a endodontist and eventually come back to your office the same day, you made sure I was seen before your office closed for the holidays. Not only did you ensure I was seen, but Dr. Ryan performed a tooth extraction on the same day. Did I have to wait a bit? Yes. But that is absolutely normal and okay! His office had a full day of patients and the fact that Dr. Ryan somehow made time to see me twice in a day AND perform the tooth extraction is simply going above and beyond. I started the process last week for an implant. I was in extreme pain over the weekend and chose to wait to reach out to Dr. Ryan's office until Monday morning and not bother him over the weekend (although they do have a number for emergencies for after-hours - I simply chose not to bother him) and by Monday afternoon, I was in his office getting X-rays. Turns out I have an infection - Dr. Ryan ensured that I was prescribed the appropriate medications right away and I was able to pick them up within the hour of him sending the prescriptions to my pharmacy. Admittedly, I'm really shocked by some of these negative reviews. Abbey, who is at the front desk, is one of the most compassionate, kind-hearted human beings I've ever met. She has always treated me with kindness and respect. If I don't understand a billing matter, she sits down with me to explain it. Dr. Ryan is nothing short of an absolute gem. He genuinely cares about his patients. Dr. Ryan's staff are incredible. Each one of them is amazing. Every time a friend asks for a dental referral, it's always Dr. Ryan I send them to because you simply won't find a better dentist and staff anywhere in San Diego. Thank you again, Dr. Ryan, Abbey, and Team for everything you do for me and all your patients. You're so appreciated!
