Hello San Diego! Please READ the bad reviews and not just the 5-star reviews..maybe the 5-star reviews are real, maybe not..my point is to read the real reviews of how this office treats people when they make a mistake. See beyond the facade. Dr O'Rielly made a horrible mistake in my case and took zero accountability. The way his wife runs the office is very unprofessional. Think twice before trusting them! read more

I can't say enough about Dr. O, Victoria and the Patricia's! I recently cracked 20-year-old crowns and had the four front replaced. The entire experience was extremely positive. I gained a confident smile and continue to feel well taken care of by the entire team. I have been a patient of Dr. O's for over 10 years, he is a great listener and takes a conservative approach to the treatment of my teeth. He won't tell you you need major work when you don't. It is clear that you all love what you do and do it well. Thanks again. read more

Integrative Dentistry - Replaced front 4 porcelain crowns - PFM's - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Encinitas, California

The best dentist I have ever had. Smart, intuitive, skilled and very gentle. So grateful to have found Dr. O.

Dr Carey O'Rielly is not a "real" holistic dentist. His other reviews are fake. He cuts corners and was paid to remove all of the amalgam from my mouth but did such shoddy work that he missed getting it all. Several of my teeth need to be redone now. When I contacted his office, they took no accountability and told me don't call here anymore! I would give zero stars if I could. read more

Yesterday, Dr. O and his team did amazing work in my mouth to correct my bite. It was way off due to poor work by several previous dentists. He is so patient, gentle and thorough, without any pain on my part, that I had to post about his incredible skill with challenging teeth and mis-alignment. Can't say enough good about him. read more

Quite simply, Dr. O'Rielly is the most amazing dentist ever. Not only is his skill level above and beyond every single dentist I've ever gone to, but he cares. Really cares. I've had more than my share of dental issues, if only I had found Dr. O'Rielly's office sooner, I could have avoided much of the dental work I've had over the past decades. He has a gentle hand, a phenomenal staff, and truly cares about his patients. I am thrilled to have found him. read more

I didn't even know this approach to dentistry existed. I love this office. Dr O, and the staff are knowledgeable and informative without being the slightest bit pushy. This office has a home-like feel, and windows! Never knew how big of a difference fresh air could make in a dental office. I don't feel the slightest bit anxious here. Dr. O is super chill and very precise. I love all the procedures they do here. It's nice to feel good about your dental work. Thank you Dr. O and everyone else at integrative dentistry! read more

I had a cleaning and exam done at a traditional dentist 2 weeks prior to my visit with Dr. O'Rielly. The other dentist had suggested five(!!) cavity fillings and had also shamed me for using fluoride free toothpaste. I wanted a second opinion and started searching for holistic dentists. In the last few years I've made lifestyle changes to eat cleaner and use cleaner products, and I wanted to find a dentist who believed in the importance of holistic health and nontoxic alternatives (when possible) such as BPA-free fillings. I came across Dr. O'Rielly's website and his helpful blog posts on oral health and overall wellness. I emailed the office and Sherry and Victoria were quick to respond and very patient working with my busy schedule to give me an appointment within a week or two. I emailed them my x-rays from the other dentist and not only did they say I didn't need to take more x-rays with them, but Dr. O'Rielly looked at the x-rays prior to my appointment and they let me know that he saw only one cavity that needed to be filled right away! They scheduled me for an exam and filling on the same day which was very convenient. When I went in for my appointment, Dr. O'Rielly took his time answering my questions and didn't make me feel rushed at all. The filling was literally painless (mind you I have very sensitive teeth) and he was so skilled in the way he administered the numbing shot and also in doing the filling procedure. I love that he talked through the procedure explaining what he was doing and checked in with me constantly to make sure I was doing okay. The dental hygienist was also very sweet and friendly. Dr. O'Rielly gave me some helpful tips and tools on how to prevent cavities naturally (without the need for fluoride toothpaste). I like that he is conservative and isn't quick to do fillings or unnecessary procedures if they're not needed! The office was also very clean and relaxing, and everyone there is so kind and caring. I felt like they truly cared about my health and wellness. I 10000% recommend this dental office if you are looking for a skilled and caring holistic dentist. Thank you Dr. O'Rielly and staff! read more

I first visited Dr. O'Rielly on 2/14/22 for a consultation. My mouth felt perfectly fine when I walked in that day. I never saw the hygienist open the packs of tools. She fiddled with them on the back counter and then dropped them on the tray as she walked out of the room. For some reason, Dr. O'Rielly did a gum exam on me, even though I was just in for a consultation. It's the gum exam where they poke your gums with their metal instruments to check for gum recession. The next morning, my gums felt very sensitive. I've had this same gum exam from my regular dentist several times without an issue. It persisted and continued to get worse. I finally emailed Dr. O'Rielly about it on 3/1/22. Dr. O and Victoria scheduled me for an appointment for 3/6/22. He said he would laser my gums to make them feel better. At the beginning of my appointment, he started going on about how well they sterilize their instruments, even though I never said anything about that. It seemed odd. He didn't seem to know what to do about my gums hurting. He tried to tel me that the timing of my gums being sensitive the very next day might have been coincidental. He wanted me to get X-rays, but I didn't want to give him anymore money. He gave me a bottle of chlorhexidine mouth rinse and told me to use it ONCE per day, but did not laser my teeth as he said he would. When I got home, I went to use the mouth rinse, and realized that it had expired 13 months prior. So I emailed him again. He called me in a prescription for more. It said to swish ONE time per day. It helped at first, but then stopped helping. So I emailed him again to see if he'd call me in a round of antibiotics. He refused and told me to go back to my regular dentist to get the prescription. Since my regular dentist didn't know what to do about it, I went to third dentist, who put me on Clindamycin. She also told me that the mouth rinse was supposed to be use TWICE per day, not once per day. So he wrote the prescription wrong. My gums felt better for a few days, and then the gum problem returned. Today is 5/5/22. I have now been to a total of 5 dentists and one MD. I've been through three rounds of antibiotics, had my gums lasered, and deep cleaned. I've spent hundreds of dollars of my own money (I'm a single mom) as well as hundreds of dollars of my limited insurance money in an attempt to resolve this issue. I AM STILL IN PAIN! Think twice before going to this office. I've never had to deal with anything like this before. This whole experience has been very costly, PAINFUL, and stressful. I came here to try to resolve some health issues, not to acquire a new one. read more

See all

I have been to many dentists over the years, that this is the best dental practice I have been to! Dr. O'Rielly and his staff always make me feel comfortable whether it's a teeth cleaning or a filling replacement. I've had multiple silver fillings removed and I always feel relaxed when I go there. They take great care to do things right, and all of their work is top notch! It's not easy to find a holistic dentist, and I am so glad I found Integrative Dentistry. Thanks Dr. O'Riley! read more

For Ten years Dr. O'Rielly and Victoria have treated me like family and my mouth and overall health are much improved and happier having them in my life. More recently, I met Dr. Bae and enjoyed a pain free LANAP procedure which proved remarkably effective in stimulating the gum line, noticeably reducing a deep gap aside an implant as determined by using my Dr. O issued rubber tip. Moreover, the overall health and freshness of my mouth improved without doubt. I went with the LANAP based on my trust of Dr. O'Reilly and Victoria. I am fully impressed with Dr. Bae and not surprised by his acumen and credentials given Dr O's high standards. The procedure is non -invasive, leaving you wondering if anything just happened. Well it happened, Freshness factor and gum health Noticably Better. Thanks, it is nice to be able to Trust. read more

If you are looking for a TRUE holistic dentist with a highly skilled dentist, look no further .. Dr. O'Reilly and staff are the Creme de la Creme! The air quality of this office is superb with air purifiers abound. Best dentist in San Diego County!! read more

This review is LONG OVERDUE. I am so thrilled to tell you that Dr O'Rielly is THE holistic dentist in San Diego county. Hands down, there is no other option for holistic dentistry other than Dr O. My husband and I have been patients for the last 7 years and we cannot say enough about his integrity, knowledge, and truly providing care that is the least invasive as possible. I've had terrible experiences at other so called holistic dental offices in town. The techniques that Dr O uses are bar none, the best approach to save your teeth. He does not needlessly tell you that you need major dental work when you don't. He is conservative, but truthful about what needs to be done. Excellent air quality in the office too. Love all the office staff too. read more

BEST- DENTIST- EVER!!!! If you are looking for competent, caring and communicative dentist than look no further than Dr. Oreilly. I went to his office looking for a second opinion after a having a terrible experience at another dental office. Dr O. spent a considerable amount of time explaining how he would fix my back molar and bridge that needed to be replaced. His easy going, calm and no pressure way of explaining things in language which I could easily understand is appreciated. Once I went ahead with treatment with him, he was also fantastic at explaining what he was doing as he was working in my mouth, which helped to keep me at ease. Dr. O. is extremely conservative and meticulous in his protocols and always has patient comfort in mind while working. He and his chairside assistant Patty work together so well she knows just what is needed before he even asks. Talk about teamwork! Dr O even came in on his day off when my temp broke as he wanted to make sure it was repaired before the weekend, and I was comfortable. Fantastic service all around which is truly appreciated and not easily found in most offices. Also want to give a shout out to Victoria, Sherry and Tammy that run the front office. They are friendly, accommodating and just a fantastic bunch of gals that keep the front office running smoothly. Thier communication via phone and email kept me informed throughout the process of numerous insurance questions and appointments. I would highly recommend Dr O and his team for any of your dental needs or just to go in for a second opinion. I am one happy and satisfied patient! Thank you, Dr. O!!!! :) read more

I went to my dentist after some severe tooth pain and was told I needed a root canal or a tooth extraction. I wanted to get a second opinion so I reached out to Integrative Dentistry and got an appointment. Dr. Kim was able to save the tooth with a filling even though it was very close to the nerve. Though the filling may not last forever, I am so grateful that Dr. Kim was able to save the tooth! Although I was nervous about the procedure, she was very kind and comforting and I am so happy she is my new dentist. As a bonus, all of the staff is very kind which makes going to the dentist a good experience, which I doubt most people can say! read more

Dr. O' Riley and Sherry are the best so considerate and thoughtful and extremely skillful at their work.

Hands down, Dr. O'Rielly is the absolute BEST dentist out there! I am so fortunate to have had him recommended to me by my acupunturist. I sought out O'Rielly because I had seven amalgam fillings I needed removed as a first step to improving my state of health. I did extensive research on the removal process and spoke with nine different offices regarding amalgam restoration before choosing Dr. O'Rielly and I couldn't be happier with my decision! First off, I was made to feel very comfortable by Dr. Orielly and his staff. Both Victoria and Dr. Orielly answered and addressed all of my questions and concerns. They really strived to make my needs, as a patient, a priority, even under tight time constraints. Even more, their pricing is very competitive. For their amalgam restorations, they have charged the same price for the past 20 years! Also, they don't charge ridiculous "quadrant fees" like other dentists do. And if that isn't icing on the cake, Dr. O'Rielly is EXTREMELY experienced. I am a hyper sensitive individual who requires extra care and attention and with his expertise, Dr. O'Rielly had no problem ensuring I was well-suited and comfortable! Typically, I have extreme dental anxiety, but Dr. O'Rielly energy is very calming and he kept me informed as to what he was doing every step of the way which I couldn't be more appreciate of! I hate to say it, but to be honest, I swear I could have taken a nap if I really wanted to! Never thought I'd say that - especially with dental work, but that's how comfortable I was! Anyways, over the past several years, I have seen numerous dentists... I always left feeling poked, proded, and decieved. Take my word for it, NOTHING COMPARES TO DR. O'RIELLY! I 100% quit other dentists, because really, I don't think I will ever find a better dentist than Dr. O'Rielly! If you have dental fear, anxiety, or are just plain tired of your dentist, and are looking for honest, professional dental work, give Dr. O'Rielly and his team a chance, you will not regret it!!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!! read more

Very good at explaining things to you. Open and honest about issues and patient in getting the best solution for any issues. My and my family have been going here for years and I have never had an issue with this dentist or office staff. Very helpful and supportive. read more

I am so grateful I found Dr O'Riley and Victoria. I woke up in the middle of the night with terrible tooth pain. I had not been to the dentist in close to 7 years. I wanted a holistic dentist. I called and Victoria squeezed me in for an appointment the same day. They took great care of me. They way all options with you and focus on what's right for the health of your teeth and your overall health. I couldn't be more pleased. I highly recommend coming here, they will work with you on a treatment plan that is fair and reasonable. I will be a return patient for years to come. read more

I have literally never had such a wonderful experience in a dentist's office. It was - dare I say - magical! Dr O'reilly's demeanor is so soothing, and he is so gentle when he cleans your teeth that you feel safe and relaxed and just grateful to be getting your teeth cleaned There are no mouthfuls of loud buzzing tools, suction mechanisms, water sprayers in your mouth the whole time - like at most dentists. It's just you and the doctor, gently cleaning your teeth. His wife is so kind and friendly, and you can just feel their love , and the safe nest of being around such good humans / healers. I literally called my parents and told them to wait and not get their teeth cleaned where they live in Florida - but to do it here when they come for a visit. I can't give enough stars! I would give ten! I have dreaded going to the dentist my whole life but from now on it will be something to look forward to in the self care department. What a gem! What a surprisingly pleasant experience! read more

Dr O. is good, on point and communicates well. Victoria however is a a little grumpy, struggles with remembering what exactly was said and denies a refund when one was given in writing.. Won't be back for that reason.. it's a shame because I think Dr. O. Is a good holistic dentist.. read more

I've been going to Dr. O'Rielly for about ten years and am fully confident that I am seeing one of the best dentists in CA. He is knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and gentle. He's also got a great sense of humor...I don't recall ever laughing when I was in a dentist's chair, but I do here. Victoria always seems to fit me in when I need an appt as well. Patricia is. A great assistant as well. read more

I have a global health program- I send all of my patients here, he is the best of the best, and I know the industry very well (10 years as well). I have people fly across the globe when needed - he's worth every bit of effort. Myself and my family will only come here too. Not only is he highly skilled, does it as healthy and non toxic as possible but he has the best bed side manner n personality to go with it - his staff are all amazing too. read more

Love Dr O'riley I've had dental problems for years and have gone to several Dentist general and holistic. finally my teeth are great and I have zero pain. I would never use another dentist again. read more

I highly recommend Dr. O'Rielly. He is a very kind and patient dentist and his wife is as sweet as can be. They offer you homeopathic remedies to help combat any pain associated with your treatments and depending on what services you are getting. For example, this morning I got some to reduce the effects of x-ray radiation when they took my x-rays. I especially recommend him for getting rid of any amalgam fillings you have. He has all the specialized equipment need to take out the silver in the most healthful manner. They also gave me a homeopathic to help detoxify me after the procedure. Taking my silver fillings out was easily the best single thing I have done for my health. My brain fog lifted and I lost "those" 5 lbs that never went away no matter my diet or exercise routine. I am convinced it was permanent inflammation due to the mercury leeching into my body. Once they were out poof. My tire was gone. I also gained energy and motivation to get my website going. My husband who hates going to the dentist has been using him to remove his silver fillings as well. It took a LOT of convincing to get him through the door and he vowed he would not go back if he didn't like it. Well, thanks to Dr. O'Reilly's professionalism and gentle demeanor he has gone back.. several times! I had tried another holistic dentist here in San Diego that did not work out at all, so not all holistic dentists are created equal. I urge you to try Dr. O'Rielly. read more

Wow! This place is the real deal! Dr. O'Rielly and his staff kind of blew my mind! They are all very nice and welcoming. Dr. O'Rielly and his wife are very educated on health, nutrition and holistic living. Dr. O'Rielly examined my teeth and talked to me about some of the bacteria and the best way I could go about taking care of that. He even prescribed oil pulling with Oregano oil for some teeth sensitivity I was having. It worked and he gave me the best essential oil I have ever tried. If you are interested in going to a more holistic dentist you have to go here. Oh and the office is very inviting, with crystals all around:) I'm actually looking forward to my next cleaning! read more

I have an infected root canal and was researching the best ways to address the issue. My regular dentist sent me to a specialist who told me that I had two options to either re-do the root canal or extract to tooth and do an implant. He told me infection and possible fracture was bad and I needed to decide soon. I wanted to research and understand the pros and cons of both procedures as well as ways to address the issue as holistic as possible. I came upon Dr. O's website which has great amount of information on root canal treatments, implant choices, extraction, silver filling removals, etc. Very informative website. Eventually I decided to extract the tooth so I reached out to make appointment. Victoria answered the phone, she was very nice, asked me questions about the problem, and asked me to send the xrays and reports to Dr. O, so he can review them. I really appreciated that I didnt have to make the drive from Irvine for a consultation visit. Dr. O personally reached out to me and discussed his findings, presented me with options, even offered to get a third opinion. Both Victoria and himself followed up and informed me that it'd be better if I had seen an oral surgeon for it because of the severity of the issue. They both again responded to my emails asking bunch of other things to determine the best course of holistic action for my treatment. So, just to clarify I wasnt even his patient, but he (as well as Victoria) took the time to call me, chat with me for 20 minutes, answer my questions via email, etc. It's amazing how some people do good without receiving something for it. I feel that I really needed to leave a review to spread the word how helpful and honest they were. I can't wait to get my implants done by Dr. O. read more

I fly all the way from Vancouver, Canada to have my dental work done by Carey. Best in the business. The ultimate professional. Forward thinking, innovative, kind, gentle and meticulous. I'd give 6 stars if this was an option on Yelp. Thank you. Stan in Vancouver, Canada read more

Grateful to find a knowledgeable and holistic dentist I can trust. Dr. O'Reilly seems passionate about what he does. There is no upselling just genuine concern for the patient's health and well-being. read more

My sister introduced me to Holistic Dentistry. She found Dr O on his web site. . I had some issues with my top teeth. I knew they had to be taken care of, so Dr. O and I decided it was time. I was so grateful that Dr O help me make a decision.. Now I have a beautiful set of top dentures. They were made beautifully. I get a lot of compliments from my family and friends. Without Dr O help I probably would not have had this procedure done. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I now have my smile back. I am so grateful that my sister referred me to you. Your staff and you have been so loving and caring, Much appreciated. Keep up the good work Dr O. read more

I had horrible experiences in this office. Lots of confusion with the wife running the office. Dentist & wife seem to have patients running in & out in such a rush that the health of the teeth of the patients is actually overlooked. I went there as he had no bad reviews on yelp. I feel a need to warn people to stay away from this office. I have been attempting to get my records from them & they have been doctored up & are incomplete including the "new patient exam" that was done after I was there for almost one year. The records now state that they told me to go elsewhere a month before my last two visits to them! The results from the exam where the wife came in instead of the dentist to tell me that I needed 2 crowns without my chart & without telling me which ones are not in the records. Beware! read more

Dr. O'Rielly is the best of the best. You know that you're in the most professional, knowledgeable and skillful hands with him. Two other dentists told me that my cracked tooth needed to be extracted, however Dr. O'Rielly informed me about the possibility of using a new tooth bonding cement that could be used to save the tooth and then crown it. He saved my tooth and it is trouble-free. I personally hate going to the dentist, but Dr. O'Rielly is compassionate, empathetic and the consummate professional. I'm fortunate to have found him and will use him going forward for all of mine and my family's dental needs. read more

You can trust Dr. O'Rielly. I'm so thankful to finally have a dentist that truly cares about me, does fabulous work, and is trustworthy. His staff is also so caring and helps me to feel safe and secure. They practice holistic, healthy methods which is so important to me. I've been to many dentists who have given me strange diagnosis that weren't true. I am so thankful that I have a dentist I can count on. Dr. O'Rielly replaced a crown for me recently and did a perfect job. Highly recommended for all the family. read more

As long as I can remember, I've always had a great fear of dentists and getting shots. In the last two months, I've had appointments with two other dentists before I decided on finding a holistic dentist. Thankfully, I found Dr. O'Rielly on my own just by doing internet research. I didn't even have a referral. After my first appointment with him, I was absolutely stunned that the shots didn't hurt, no pain, didn't even feel them! And Dr. O'Rielly could not have been more gentle, caring, and precise! Honestly, when I left his office, I was wondering why I didn't know that there were amazing dentists like him before, that truly care about me as a person....and I am 45 years old. For the first time in my life, I am HAPPY to go to the dentist! Dr. O'Rielly will truly care about you as a person and take good care of you. He will only do what is necessary, with your best intentions in mind. I learned that during my first visit. Also, after comparing his pricing structure to many others, he is the same....I thought it would be more, but another pleasant surprise! Dr. O'Rielly's wife works with him in the office and she is so accommodating and wonderful! I feel like I have known the two of them for many years, but it has only been a few visits. This has been a very life-changing experience for me, to say the least! Feeling very grateful! Thank you, Dr. O'Rielly! read more

Dr. O'Rielly is very professional, caring, and is a good guy as well. His staff is really good at making you feel welcome and they'll give you a friendly reminder call the day before the appt. It's located in a nice area too. read more

Does a great job, spends time, is careful, detail oriented and above all, doesn't try to sell you on unnecessary treatments like a lot of dentists out there. He does his own cleanings which is rare these days. read more

Can't say enough good things about Dr. O'Rielly.. I've had him do some cosmetic dentistry on my front teeth in the past that has held up very well and gave me more confidence when smiling. Recently, he saved my tooth from needing a crown and in the process saved me money. It's well worth seeing Dr. O if you are looking for a dentist who genuinely cares about helping people. If you are interested in holistic health care and some guidance on natural remedies for oral health, you should check them out. read more

Nice little practice with a helpful assistant. Fair treatment and honest work. There was an issue with treatment, but it was fairly resolved. read more

Dr. O'Rielly is top notch in every way. With a warm and caring chair-side manner, Dr. O has a meticulous scientific approach that uses his great skill and vast experience to the patient's advantage. Highest recommendation! read more

I have been to a lot of dentist offices through North County-Encinitas and I have never been to a dentist that I am so comfortable going to. The staff is AMAZING, so friendly and helpful. Dr. O'Reilly does wonderful work and has such pride in the work he does. They are like my extended family. I also like the fact they are holistic and care about their patients. read more
