This office has done a lot to alleviate my longstanding dental phobia. First of all, the lobby is…read moresuper soothing and spa-like, with a coastal vibe, and they have a bunch of choices of tea or Nespresso. When you get to the chair, they'll have sunglasses for you so the lights aren't in your face, and if you are having a long procedure, you can watch a video of your choosing. But more importantly, the dentists (I've seen Dr. Simonsen and Dr. Melhem both) are kind, gentle, and thorough. I had two crowns, my first ever, a few years ago, and I was VERY nervous, since I have had previous fillings and extractions with inadequate anesthesia. The office has a long and detailed questionnaire where you can identify your triggers and they offer you ways to ameliorate them. I started feeling the work partway through and Dr. Simonsen stopped to re-numb me, instead of carrying on like dentists I've had in the past. They also offered breaks, and got me a ball from the prize chest to squeeze so I wouldn't maul my palms. The hygienists, Alison and Lisa, are also both great. Friendly, gentle, and detail oriented. They'll get you sparkling clean without making your mouth sore. I actually don't dread going for a cleaning!

Five Stars - Truly Life-Changing Smile!…read more I cannot thank Dr. Melhem and the team at Carmel Family Dental enough for the amazing transformation they achieved with my Daughters smile! She had some gaps and discoloration that made her feel self-conscious, after her Orthodontic treatment. Dr. Melhem recommended the BioClear bonding treatment as a same-day fix that wouldn't require any removal of her natural tooth structure. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Dr. Melhem explained every step in detail, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure my Daughter and I both felt completely comfortable. The treatment itself was quick, painless, and the results were immediate. The difference is incredible - her teeth now look smooth, even, and natural (you can see the before and after photos!). The material blended perfectly with her natural teeth color, and her smile looks brighter and healthier than I ever imagined possible. The office is warm and welcoming, the staff is friendly and professional, and you can tell they truly care about their patients. I'm so grateful for Dr. Melhem's expertise and artistry - this is more than dental work, it's confidence restored! If you're considering BioClear or any cosmetic dental work, I cannot recommend Dr. Melhem and Carmel Family Dental enough. You'll be in the best hands.

I was in search for a new dentist and came across Central Coast Dental Care. Decided on this…read moreoffice, in part due to my insurance coverage but also because of the good Yelp rating. Scheduling was pretty easy. I was able to schedule a new patient exam appointment online within a week timeframe. Once booked you receive a confirmation via email, and will most likely receive a confirmation call the day before as well. The dental office is located in a small plaza with plenty of lot parking spaces. I was welcomed with a friendly greeting and given a few new patient forms to be filled out. The entire office is friendly and knowledgeable. Appreciated the communication from everyone - front desk receptionists, the X-ray tech, Dr. Sharma, and the dental hygienist. Yup - I lucked out! They happened to have an opening for a cleaning so I was able to get both my exam and cleaning performed on the same day. Glad to have found a great, new dental office!

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this dental office…read more I originally went in for a routine checkup and cleaning and was told that my teeth looked good, but that one of my crowns would eventually need to be replaced. Because I am a teacher and school was about to start, I decided to have the crown replaced during my vacation rather than risk having a problem later. Unfortunately, what should have been a straightforward procedure turned into weeks of pain and multiple visits. After the crown was placed, I was in significant pain, was biting the inside of my cheek, and noticed that the crown did not seem properly aligned with my other teeth. I returned to the office and had an X-ray. I was reassured that everything looked fine and was told that the problem was inflammation from my bite and that I needed to be patient and wait approximately 10 days for it to improve. I followed that advice and waited 12 days despite continuing to have considerable pain. When I finally returned because I could no longer tolerate it, I was then told that I had an infection and needed a root canal. What was particularly upsetting was being told that I should not have waited so long to come back, when I had specifically been instructed to wait. I have now had to deal with significant pain, repeated dental appointments, a root canal, and a great deal of stress over a crown that I elected to replace before it became an emergency. I understand that complications can happen with any dental procedure. What I find unacceptable is receiving conflicting information and then being criticized for following the instructions I was given. This experience has seriously affected my trust in this office. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this practice.

We're only here another month and they got me in IMMEDIATELY for new patient X-rays and eval. I knew I needed some work done and have been able to make all 3 appointments before leaving. The staff are all incredible. They address you by first name when you walk in the door when I had been there only once before. Everyone I have come into contact with at the office has gone above and beyond to help out. I always have a million questions about what they are doing or using and they gladly explain everything to me. If you need work done, the front desk will give you the exact price of what to expect instead of the run around. They also do her best to get you the best price possible and is very knowledgeable about insurance and what tricare will cover. I even got a personal phone call from Dr. James himself a few hours after my last appointment to make sure my pain was under control. I honestly can't say enough good things about this office and I wish I had found them at the beginning of our Monterey move!

Not only is the dentist grossly over performing things that are completely unnecessary, but he ruined my wife's teeth because we believed the medical care he suggested was necessary.

Everyone is so friendly and professional. We actually look forward to going to the dentist! A few years ago, our son was attending UC Santa Barbara. He was riding his bike to school to clean out his lab before the Thanksgiving break when he was struck by a car (hit and run!). In addition to some scrapes and bruises, three of his front teeth were broken. Our son did not want to walk around with broken front teeth so he called Dr. Carl's office right away to see if he could get in ASAP. It was 2 days before Thanksgiving and Dr. Carl was leaving early for the holiday. Dr. Carl's office said if he could get to the office before 2pm, he could work on him. Our son did his best to get there on time, but he ended up arriving at 3PM. Dr. Carl waited until he got there and fixed his teeth that day! We were so grateful.
