Since my initial experience with Dr. Qadeer I have had multiple unfortunate experiences at Mesa…read moreDental. I have had several cleanings and fillings here in the last 3.5 years and with every visit I lose a little more trust in this place. Multiple times have I sat down in the chair and had the dentist go "today we'll be working on the right side of your mouth" and I go "no you're not - it's the left side". Or "we'll be working on this tooth", and I go, "no it's this tooth". I also think that while Dr. Qadeer took his time to make me feel comfortable and to gain his trust, being gentle - the other dentist does not. At my most recent visit he was extremely rushed - bumped into my chair, dropped the camera, almost started working on the wrong side of my mouth. Not the level of professionalism I expect from Mesa Dental - and quite frankly I lost a lot of trust in their work. The assistant also kept forcing the suction down my throat, gagging me. Very rough and not very good. I will be reconsidering my future dental work, and looking for a different dentist.

This dental office was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had. I often felt that my…read moreconcerns were not taken seriously and that the office was unprofessional. Before my appointment, I called Diana for pricing information. At my first visit, the staff was friendly, and Dr. Mansour addressed my original concern before informing me that I also had a cavity. I asked to have it treated that day but was told to schedule another appointment. Before leaving, I asked about the cost of the denture reline and partial dentures, but the in-person price differed from what I had been told over the phone. That's already frustrating. When I returned for the cavity treatment, I noticed afterward that the tooth appeared chipped, although it had not looked that way beforehand. I brought it to Dr. Mansour's attention, but she repeatedly said, "I don't know," and denied causing it. She made an adjustment, but the tooth remained uneven. She later showed me a photo indicating that the tooth had been thin trying to make a point that she didn't do anything. My concern was not the thinness of the tooth but it's chipped. I asked her if she can fix it and she said improving its appearance and the gap would cost an additional $160 because insurance would not cover it. I also brought in my loose denture for adjustment. During a follow-up visit, while Dr. Mansour went to retrieve it, I overheard it being dropped on the floor twice and did not hear that it was cleaned. When it was returned, it was extremely tight, difficult to insert, and had black stains that were not there before. Again I asked her if she can fixed it, I was told she can't because she didn't have the tools and advised to wear it for a few days, but I returned after seeing its condition in daylight. It was eventually sent to another department for cleaning, they said they will try to put a solution to it to remove the black stains though it still had sharp, uneven areas. After further adjustments, it became loose again but tight enough that it would hold. I was also charged $100 for the cleaning, even though I felt the denture had been returned in worse condition. I should not have to pay again for their mistake and poor work but I paid the fee anyways. I was just happy it was cleaned but decided not to continue with my remaining treatment and canceled my future procedures. A few weeks later, I called about repairing the chipped tooth and gap which I was quoted before for $160, because it really bothers me and I thought of giving them another chance instead of going to a different clinic thinking it's only a very small Job, what else could go wrong this time. The person who answered the phone said she could not hear me, so I had to explain myself repetitively twice to 3x, she then took my phone number, and promised to call back, but never did and I don't think they would. I got upset, but I had every reason to be. I paid for a service and received a denture with black stains that caused bleeding and pain in my gums for days and for her (the dentist itself) to dropped my denture twice and not even washed it after that, Considering the situation, I think I was actually very nice and patient compared to how most people would be. Overall, I was disappointed by the quality of care, communication, and professionalism. The clinic seemed unsanitary, and they do not care at all of their patients. I will be seeking a new dentist and would not recommend this office.

This my second review for The Shore Dental, for the molar extraction appointment I had today. In…read morefull honesty, I was not looking forward to it. But I can tell you that Dr. Naser absolutely put me at ease, just as he always does. Just before he was about to start, he set a positive and comfortable atmosphere. It instantly eased the slight nerves I had. I could barely even tell when the tooth was removed when he was at work. He even exclaimed "It's a boy!" as he took it out, haha! The extraction was also not long, mind you, which is another testament to his skill. I also highly recommend my hygienist, Haya! I hope i wrote her name correctly. She is so gentle and kind, perfect for anyone who wants an effective job done. Dr. Naser is an absolute gem, and his service cannot be beat! I know that with him, I'm always in good hands. I truly wish I could give more stars because his work is just that phenomenal! If you're looking for a good dentist in San Diego, this is THE place to go! Thank you again, Dr. Naser! ***For newbies: the entire parking lot is paid, so make sure to scan the QR code before you head inside!

It all popped right off today when I went to meet with Dr. OLSEN about my invisalign retainers. I am going to have to have him fix all of the bonding that I had done. I will never go to The Shores again. The shores is like a low end dental establishment. I only went there because they took my insurance. I had to pay for a consult today and now I have to pay to have my teeth/bonding fixed. The bonding job that The Shores Dental did was a botched job. My real dentist literally flossed my teeth and it popped right off. I am in complete shock I guess it's like going to a good plastic surgeon and a botched one. Stay away!

She was sighing whole time when she was treating my back molar saying it's difficult, at the same time, she was chatting to the male assistant about his future plan or whatever not related to the treatment on and off. After the treatment, my pain did not go away, so I ended up going to endodontist. I understand that sometimes nobody know until you open it up. When I went back to her for crown after the root canal was done and told her that endodontist clearly saw the infection in Xray where she didn't see when I went back to her for the pain, she said endodontists always says that and get root canal done. The way she communicates with patients is not pleasant. However, I was still going there (my mistake) because the hygenist was attentive, but I'm not going back there anymore after this time that she said I definitely have a cavity under the existing crown. I doubted her ability so I got second opinion. I notified the second opinion doctor about her dignosis so he can throughly checked the part, but after he took another X rays and did through exam, he said it was discoloration and the tooth is solid, just the crown should be changed in 6mo or so because it's old and not covering the entire area, but not the cavity. I do not trust the second opinion doctor 100% either but based on my experience before, I do not trust her.

I kept asking about the price because it seemed too good to be true. But everything was exactly as advertised! They did the full panoramic wrap-around X-ray, the high-tech video scan, and the regular bite wings! Way more extensive than I expected for the promo price. The tech who helped me was incredibly sweet, patient, and professional, which immediately put me at ease. What impressed me the most, though, was the dentist's honesty. After all those X-rays and a thorough exam, they told me I didn't need any work done. I've had some bad experiences recently with dentists trying to upsell unnecessary procedures, so hearing that was honestly emotional for me. It was such a relief to finally find an office that's straightforward, ethical, and genuinely kind. All in all, they went above and beyond. I'm so grateful I found them and will definitely be coming back!

The dental experience itself was fine. During the appointment, there were several things they said…read morethey would continue to monitor, but nothing required treatment at this time. The issue came when I went to check out and schedule a future appointment. I was told there was a charge due. I have excellent dental insurance and have never had a deductible, so I questioned the charge. Priscilla explained that I have two insurance plans and that I was being charged a deductible under both. That explanation did not make sense to me, and I was concerned about whether both policies were being billed correctly. When I questioned the charge, I was told that if the bill was not paid within 30 days, it would be sent to collections. I understand that offices have billing policies, but I felt the response was unnecessarily confrontational when I was simply asking for clarification about a charge that I did not understand. When I mentioned that I felt I was receiving unnecessary attitude, the situation escalated rather than being resolved. At that point, I decided that I would not be returning to the practice as a patient. Again, the dental care itself was fine. Unfortunately, the way the billing question was handled and the interaction at checkout left me uncomfortable enough that I decided to take my business elsewhere.

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). The dentist is not cheap but I felt I got my money's worth with all the attention and time taken. Parking is easy early in the morning, although it does cost money.
