When we 1st started going there many years ago, they were so thorough with pictures, x-rays and even 3-D imaging! Dr. Meadows found a dark spot on my upper jaw in some of the imaging he did that no one else has for many years! He referred me to a specialist and it turns out it was an infection from a bad root canal about 15 years ago. I'm so grateful for Dr. Meadows expertise. They are wonderful with my kids as well. Dr. Meadows goes above and beyond with my Son's teeth & has made great observations and referrals to an amazing orthodontist for him too. Anytime I have questions or concerns if I call the office he gets back to me right away! Linda, the receptionist is also amazing. She is so personable and helpful whenever we call and when we need to re-schedule appointments. When we come in for family dental work, she is always so kind and informative with our appointments. The office is also just such a beautiful and welcoming place. I cannot recommend Dr. Meadows and Seaside Dental more, they are simply amazing and we are so grateful to have found them!

I've left two other clinics in San Diego because I felt rushed, uncared for, and just didn't get the level of cleaning I was used to. That all changed the moment I came here. I had the pleasure of seeing Brittany as my dental hygienist and not only was she incredibly warm and sweet, she went to town on my cleaning. She exceeded every expectation, made sure all the plaque was gone, and gave me genuinely helpful tips to keep up my hygiene. Irina did my x-rays quickly and checked in the whole time to make sure I was comfortable. She made the process so easy and seamless. Dr. Meadows was personable, comforting, and so easy to talk to. He didn't pressure me to get anything done like other places have. Instead, he explained things clearly and made it all understandable, even for someone who didn't go to school for dentistry. And yes, I got a goodie tote bag and was way too excited about it. I honestly don't want to leave San Diego just because I never want to deal with finding a new dentist again. This place is the holy grail.

After a complimentary consult that I originally meant to entertain for the…read morepossibility of veneers (perfectly good teeth I thought but smile is less than ideal) I am blown away at how THOROUGH and caring Jennifer and Dr. Kiyam have been. Because they use the best possible equipment in dentistry, they have optics on whats going on in my mouth that my traditional dentist apparently doesn't. Through this comprehensive consult, they discovered a pretty big abscess/infection in the back right of my bottom jaw through a CT scan in a tooth that apparently doesn't have any nerve pain currently. (I would never have known! Not even my dentist saw this with traditional x-rays. What the heck!!??) Jennifer and I discussed a treatment plan to address ALL concerns and I just realized, through her help, that the incredibly severe Trigeminal neuralgia (facial nerve) pain that had me in tears a few years ago over the course of 3 months that NO DENTIST or root canal specialist could explain and that disappeared just as fast as it appeared. It was highly likely related to the abscess that they discovered last week because of the specialized equipment and overall focus they have on addressing issues from many angles. My body was crying out for help 3 yrs ago after God knows how many years of that infection being there and no one could explain except for this practice. I want to cry. So grateful to now make it all make sense. Highly recommend their expertise! They truly are "comprehensive."

Dr. Yu performed a very thorough evaluation and provided honest feedback, recommending to just monitor the situation and come back in a few years. I was impressed that he was so honest and didn't just want to schedule an expensive procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Yu if you need a consultation or procedure.

I had not been to a dentist for over 40 years (please no judgments), and I thought I would need extensive peridental work. Dr. Yu started by saying that we needed to get aquainted since we had never met. He asked simple questions and assured me that most people's fears are far worse than the reality. The exam was gentle and Dr. Yu constantly reassured me that all was going well. He was thorough and explained each step. He took his time and did not rush. (At this point, I will say that you will probably wait past your appointment time, but when you are seen, you will receive all the time necessary.) As it turned out, I needed no peridental work. Dr. Yu and his staff recommended another dentist to do the root canal I would need since he did not specialize in that type of dentistry. I highly recommend Dr Yu.

I am overcoming my fear of the dentist thanks to Torrey Pines Dental Arts!…read more My wife has been a patient here for years and she finally convinced me to come meet the staff and schedule my first appointment. She got great care from Dr. Saade and Ayah so I booked for the following week. The receptionists were kind and informative. They made me feel good about coming back too. Dr. Terranova and Patricia made my initial appointment welcoming and gentle. They were accommodating of me. This clinic creates a safety and calm that I had not experienced at previous dentists. I came back a week later for Dr. Terranova, Rich, and Delilah to take care of a bunch of work I needed done (fillings, crown replacement, deep cleaning). Then today, I got the other side of fillings done and also Max did my deep cleaning. Dr. Terranovaa is great at talking through everything calmly. She checks in throughout and remembers you're a person in the chair, not just teeth. I really appreciated being talked through parts that might pinch, vibrate, feel pressure, etc. They're clearly a busy clinic but I never felt she was rushing or annoyed. I really think this is a great place to go especially if you have fear or uncertainty about the dentist. I also would recommend Max if you're nervous about deep cleanings. I asked them to put him as my preferred hygienist, along with Ayah since she was great with my wife. Delilah did a fine job but everyone has different preferences and I just felt better with Max's approach. He explained everything, told me when I could close my mouth. provided a diagram marked with where I can't floss for 10 days due to antibiotics, provided verbal encouragement, and was also skillful at the injections needed to prep for my fillings after the cleaning).

He takes the time to explain my options, considers my budget, and never pressures me into unnecessary procedures. Finding a dentist you can truly trust isn't easy, but Dr. Lebontee has earned my complete confidence. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, skilled, and caring dentist.

As a small business owner, I genuinely dislike leaving negative reviews -- I understand how much…read morethey matter. But my experience was so unacceptable that I feel obligated to warn others. I was referred to Dr. Evans specifically because he is a biological dentist who specializes in ceramic implants. I scheduled my appointment about a month in advance. Before my visit, I proactively sent my existing 3D scan to the office via file transfer so I wouldn't need to be re-exposed to X-rays. I called to confirm receipt -- and they confirmed they had it. When I arrived for my 2:00 PM appointment, the front desk told me I would need a new 3D scan. I explained I had already sent mine over. They acted as if they had no record of it -- until they suddenly confirmed they did have it. Fifteen minutes later, they reversed again, claiming they couldn't open the files. I knew this wasn't a file issue, since every other office I'd sent the same files to had opened them without any problem. Eventually a second staff member was brought over, and after another 15 minutes, the files were opened. After more waiting, a staff member came to take me back -- straight to the X-ray machine -- and asked me to remove my earrings for a 3D scan. When I questioned it, she left, returned, and confirmed they did have my scan. I was sent back to the lobby. I was then brought to another room where staff asked me the exact same intake questions that no fewer than five different people had already asked me. It was now 2:45 PM, and I had not yet seen the doctor. They also made sure to charge me for the appointment before any services were rendered. At 2:55 PM -- nearly an hour after my appointment time -- I informed the front desk I needed to leave to pick up my child at 3:00. Only then did anyone rush to get the doctor. Dr. Evans came in at 2:57 PM, provided no information, answered none of my questions, and concluded the appointment at exactly 3:00. That was a complete waste of my time and money. The office is disorganized, the communication between staff is nonexistent, and there is zero respect for patients' time. You are the paying customer -- and they will make you wait an hour without acknowledgment or apology. I would not recommend this office to anyone.

The problem is, there was no exam done. We agreed at the time of the appointment that I would take my daughter to get full x-rays through her insurance. Dr. Chen charged me $54 for the x-ray and $195 up front for the exam. She said when we went back with the x-rays, she would do the full exam and I wouldn't have to pay for it again because I was paying upfront. We decided to go through insurance for treatment and I requested a refund of the $195 for an exam that wasn't done. I was offered $100 refund, then $115 refund by June. After explaining that I wanted a refund for the $195 because that's what I paid, she became very rude. This is fraud there's no other way to put it. Charging for a service that wasn't done and not refunding is illegal. I will be following pursuit to report this business that shouldn't be practicing. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place, there are plenty of other Holistic Dentists. This place is very unorganized and unprofessional.
