Doctor dentist assistant
Dustin B.

If you are looking for a dental office to get work done this is ur spot , I've gotten a ton of work done here from pulling out my wisdom teeth to a deep cleaning surgery. The doctor makes me feel very comfortable when explaining everything to me whenever I am in for my dental needs and gives me suggestions on what is most important and always takes care of me, he makes me feel welcomed and always knows how to crack me up. Everyone in the office is very nice from the receptionists to the assistants , I always feel very well taken care of whenever I go in, I suggest this dental office to anyone seeking good dental hygiene and a rest assured experience.

I had a fantastic experience at El Cajon Dentistry! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that the staff genuinely cares about their patients. They took the time to listen to my concerns and provide honest recommendations without any upselling. The dentist explained each step of the process, making sure I felt comfortable and informed. The office is clean and inviting, which only added to the positive atmosphere. They play good music too! Thank you Dr. Alpatty and team!

I have struggled for many years with dental problems and a fear of the dentist, and I honestly thought nothing could be done. I finally decided I couldn't let embarrassment stop me from getting the smile I wanted. My experience with Dr. Fossett has been absolutely great! He made me feel comfortable right away, took the time to listen to my concerns, and explained how we could make a plan to complete everything in stages--starting with the most important issues first. Now, I look and feel so much better, and all my worries have disappeared. If you're looking for a caring, understanding, and skilled dentist, you will not be disappointed with Dr. Fossett!

I felt conflicted in writing a review. I was a patient from approximately 2017 to about 2021…read more When I first started my dentist was Dr. Christiansen. He was kind and patient. The dental hygienist were also great. The dentist office had newer equipment and I sincerely enjoyed going to the dental office. However, as time passed I went in and a different dentist would attend me without explanation. Going to the dentist is already an unpleasant thing, and having a doctor I was unfamiliar with attend me without notice was something I didn't like. He seemed to get frustrated on one occasion when a crown would not sit properly in my mouth. They had to do another 3 d scan and remake it. I don't remember his name anymore, but I do remember feeling a bit uneasy in his care. At first I would get reminders and as time went on I began to have issues with my appointment not being scheduled properly. I would have to call to set up appointments because the staff failed to make them. The last straw for me was when I went in because of grinding my teeth and I was just rushed over to go see a specialist across the hall. I felt i was expected to understand the dental process, when I didn't, and I felt like staff was upset that I didn't want to make a decision when I didn't understand the process. I ended up changing dentist after that experience. The new dentist I went to explained it to me in a way I could understand. Now I wear a night retainer to alleviate some of the pressure on my teeth.

I had already been through the wringer and was distrusting of dentists from my negative experiences. Thankfully, as soon as I came in for my FREE Consultation with Dr. N , I was greeted with a smile and treated with the utmost respect. Her bedside manner is impeccable and she explained to me that my last dentist has made a mistake on my last appointment. The team at Dental Arts went into immediate action, getting me the care I needed in an efficient and professional manner, all the while being kind and supportive about the stressful situation I was experiencing. As of now, the team has taken care of fixing this mistake, honoring the lowest rate possible given by any HMO insurance, and even offered to keep me on an HMO discount plan after being laid off and losing coverage. I can not recommend them enough.

I went in for discomfort related to an existing filling that appeared to be lifting slightly at the…read morecorner. What I expected to be a straightforward evaluation quickly escalated into being told I needed a crown and was also advised that I would likely need a root canal. Given the limited nature of the issue, this recommendation felt excessive and was not supported with clear or convincing clinical evidence. I only came here because my dentist was closed for the holidays!!!! I was not shown cracks, extensive decay, or definitive signs of irreversible nerve damage that would normally justify such invasive treatment. Conservative options, such as replacing the filling first, were not meaningfully discussed. Instead, after a brief sensitivity test, I was presented with an extensive treatment plan that included a crown, core build-up with pins, a CBCT scan, and a root canal all at once. What was especially concerning is that the approach seemed to set patients up to pay for multiple major procedures separately!!!! I was told I needed a crown, but at the same time a root canal was recommended as a likely next step, meaning I could potentially pay for two different invasive procedures rather than being clearly told the most appropriate treatment from the beginning!!!!!! This lack of clarity made the process feel inefficient, costly, and unnecessary. The explanation felt rushed and left little room for thoughtful discussion or questions. It gave the impression that the treatment plan was pre-determined rather than based on a careful, step-by-step diagnostic process. Major, irreversible procedures were discussed before establishing whether less invasive options could reasonably resolve the problem. After the appointment, I took the time to read reviews for this office and noticed a consistent and concerning pattern. Many other patients describe nearly identical experiences being immediately directed toward crowns and root canals, along with additional procedures that insurance often does not cover. Seeing how closely those reviews mirrored my own experience raised serious concerns about the overall approach to treatment here. I left feeling pressured to agree to extensive and irreversible dental work without clear medical justification. Patients should be cautious, ask detailed questions, insist on clear explanations, and strongly consider getting a second opinion before agreeing to crowns or root canals at this office. I'm relieved I trusted my instincts before committing to unnecessary work. My regular dentist was able to fit me in. I showed my dentist everything they were charging me for and laughed!!! He said this was completely ridiculous
