Some places in San Diego I've been to have been pretty harsh when cleaning my teeth or they try to sell a lot of services to me unnecessarily.

I was thinking trying new dentist out as my last dentist sold their business. And this has a bunch…read moreof good yelp reviews. Boy was that a huge mistake. First consultation and I'm met with a lady after who parks me in a side room with a consultation. Prior to this the dental hygienist repeatedly told me "we won't sell you on anything you don't need." After the preliminary x-rays the hygienist went in to look at my gums. You know when they throw a number for root planing this guy was throwing up 4s, 5s, and 6s in milliseconds. All of a sudden I have horrible gum disease I never thought I had. The lady giving me a "dental plan" of $2000+ after insurance was telling me of how many state of the art laser interrogations I needed that insurance wouldn't cover at all. Fast forward to my dental cleaning. Btw I have to pay out of pocket a significant amount bc "I have gum disease now". They numbed me up so bad I couldn't go back into work. I had 2 sessions of periodontal scaling and root planing. The first lasted 30 minutes. The second lasted 15 minutes. These should have gone for an hour and a half. I went to a new dentist who told me none of what this dentist stated was accurate. This Origin Dentist after my first visit asked me to write a 5 star review. I can't believe how many chumps are going to write 5 star reviews because of the hip music and reed diffusers make them feel like this is a good honest dentist when clearly there's very little integrity here. Worst dentist I've ever gone to.

I've always been a little self-conscious about my smile, and after putting it off for way too long,…read moreI finally scheduled a consultation with Dr. Eshom. I'm so glad I did. The price was reasonable, and what really stood out to me was that he actually did all the work himself. At other dentist offices, I rarely ever saw the actual dentist, so this was a huge difference. The results blew my expectations. His attention to detail and the care he puts into his work really shows. The whole experience was comfortable; they even give you a warm neck wrap during treatment, which sounds small, but it makes a big difference. There was zero pain, everything was quick, and I left feeling more confident than I have in years. Highly recommend stopping the procrastination and finally getting the smile you've been wanting. Dr. Eshom made the entire process easy, comfortable, and absolutely worth it.

However, I lost a front veneer and called immediately to get an appointment for the following day. The office said they could not see me for another week!

Highly recommend. After a complimentary consult that I originally meant to entertain for the…read morepossibility of veneers (perfectly good teeth I thought but smile is less than ideal) I am blown away at how THOROUGH and caring Jennifer and Dr. Kiyam have been. Because they use the best possible equipment in dentistry, they have optics on whats going on in my mouth that my traditional dentist apparently doesn't. Through this comprehensive consult, they discovered a pretty big abscess/infection in the back right of my bottom jaw through a CT scan in a tooth that apparently doesn't have any nerve pain currently. (I would never have known! Not even my dentist saw this with traditional x-rays. What the heck!!??) Jennifer and I discussed a treatment plan to address ALL concerns and I just realized, through her help, that the incredibly severe Trigeminal neuralgia (facial nerve) pain that had me in tears a few years ago over the course of 3 months that NO DENTIST or root canal specialist could explain and that disappeared just as fast as it appeared. It was highly likely related to the abscess that they discovered last week because of the specialized equipment and overall focus they have on addressing issues from many angles. My body was crying out for help 3 yrs ago after God knows how many years of that infection being there and no one could explain except for this practice. I want to cry. So grateful to now make it all make sense. Highly recommend their expertise! They truly are "comprehensive."

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Shah and his team. The level of care they provide is top notch! Dr. Shah is not one of those shady dentists who tries to upsell and profit off their patients. I completely trust him with my dental care. He lets me know what he sees as concerning and will be keeping an eye on and always answers any questions I have. Dr. Shah also does a great job of explaining what might need to be done in the future and what my insurance will cover so I can plan for it. Today I chipped my front tooth and was able to come in same day to have a filling put in. I left the office in happy tears because my front tooth looked so good and it was all done so quickly. The team at Sorrento Smiles is amazing. From scheduling, figuring out insurance, communication, and treating you like family. I am so happy I found them!

Wow, it was amazing and Dr. Miner is amazing and absolutely the best! Today, I'm still doing great, no pain and no bleeding! I think Dr. Miner is the best oral surgeon in the San Diego area. He is also supper nice and made me feel comfortable and safe before and during the procedure. I was very, very scared but he was able to calm me down and still performed the surgery without sedation.

Despite being an Invisalign provider, after assessing my bite digitally and manually Dr. Fred found my repeating that expense was unnecessary which showed integrity. Dr. Fred is reachable when necessary and communication with his team is simple, effective and responsive. Each member of Smile Dentistry's team is caring, friendly and supportive of your dental health. Both the hygienist and Dr. Fred recommended personalized dental care tips. Dr. Fred's exam techniques and technology choices attest to his advanced education at UCSD and USC. He explains your film findings and treatment options in simple terms for sound and lasting results.  Having TMJ, Dr. Fred examined my bite with articulating paper using the same methods as my Oral, Head and Neck Pathologist several counties away. I could not find a local practitioner skilled in these techniques. Dr. Fred took time fixing my bite to prevent further fractures without my feeling like a nuisance or rushed. Dr. Fred's digitizer results in crowns with a superior fit compared to standard impressions. When outside referral was necessary to other specialities, Dr. Fred personally ensured I received treatment soon and his entrusted network is equally advanced in training, technology and conscientiousness. All were in-network with my insurance which is uncommon. His welcoming other specialties' opinions further increased my trust. Each provider called me after major treatment checking on my recovery and answering questions.  Dr. Fred and his team are kind, patient and considerate and the office is inviting. Pricing is reasonable without pushing unnecessary aesthetic treatments. Thank you Dr. Fred and San Diego Smile Dentistry for patiently and gracefully returning my dental health.

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).

I've had all my cleanings done here, got my Invisalign here, and even brought in my boyfriend and my mom for theirs. Today, I couldn't make my appointment because I'm swamped with work and asked to reschedule. They said no -and that I'd be charged a $65 rescheduling fee. I asked if it could be waived, and they refused, saying it had already been waived once... back in 2021 (over four years ago!). I asked if I could speak to someone else about it, thinking that after 5 years of loyalty, thousands of dollars spent, and multiple referrals I brought in, they might show some understanding. But no -- Ray doubled down and even told me I was "bad for business." And that's why is the primary reason why this review exists. Very very unfortunate because I really liked going there which is why my family and I went there. However, this is how they treat long-term patients. If you want a dentist's office that values loyalty, empathy, and basic respect- look elsewhere! After five years of commitment to this dentist office, they lost me and my family over a $65 rescheduling fee. That says everything.
