I would like to start by saying how wonderful Dr. Fossett is and how friendly and welcoming his…read morestaff are. 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!

Although I am an adult complicated case due to a narrow palate and previous loss of multiple teeth with dental implants, there was zero empathy displayed by this office for my root resorption and continued tooth loss because I signed consent for possible risks. Most recently I had the new digital scanning technology to image a tooth that needed a touchup. The tech was visibly frustrated with the difficulty of scanning my teeth because of my gum recession and exclaimed loudly in front of a room of juvenile patients, their parents, and staff as the seats are lined up with no privacy "Ugh It's your teeth!" I was completely humiliated about a health condition that has caused me severe depression and significant anxiety. Staff are insensitive to adult dental conditions.

He is the best.

They made me feel relaxed just by their awesome attitude, they had a most beatiful puppy there and they let me play with it! I had a routine check and cleaning done, the hygienist was so professional and kind, she explained the things she was doing, educated me on mouth care, and had good sense of humour too. Dr Brown walked me through the xrays and explained why or why not each tooth looked good or had potential problem. And no one pushed any extra services on me. They are very caring and professional.

I've been a regular patient at Santee Smiles for 3+ years now, but have never had any cosmetic bonding done there. I called the office Monday morning and was given an appointment with Dr. Bach for that same morning. I was nervous about getting a front tooth bonded, and had never met Dr. Bach before. As usual, the office got me in right on time so that I had no need to wait to go back. As soon as I met Dr. Bach, she put me at ease. She was very confident that she could take care of my tooth, and that she would get it done in a short amount of time. She went beyond my expectations. She did such a beautiful job matching my tooth color and shaping my tooth. It truly looks as though nothing ever happened to it. She was so kind and concerned that I was pleased with the result. I highly recommend her for any kind of cosmetic procedure. She's an artist! I recommend Santee Smiles for anyone looking for a good dental experience. The doctors are so professional and personable. All of the staff are friendly and efficient at their jobs. I'm happy to have a dental office with doctors and staff who put patients first.

I came here for a molar extraction, and it was one of the worst dental experiences I've ever had…read more After the procedure, I ended up in the ER from the intense pain. I had reached out to the office multiple times for help, no response. Not a call, not an email. Nothing. They charged me upfront for a temporary partial that was never adjusted or fitted properly to my mouth. I tried to make it work for days, but it was so bad I eventually just threw it in the trash. That's money wasted. They also charged me for a CT scan that, over two months later, I still haven't received. This isn't about whether the dentist is skilled. I don't doubt Dr. Faris or Dr. Alhamdi's education. The real issue is the complete lack of care, communication, and follow-up from the front office. I even emailed them letting them know I'd be contacting the State Dental Board, and guess what? Still no reply. I high doubt Bianca forward my concerns to either Dr. They told me I needed root canals, crowns, and fillings, but I'm still sitting here two months later, in pain and completely in the dark. I'm genuinely concerned for my health and my teeth. Do better please. No one deserves these.
