My mouth is a tragedy. Really, cavities, implants, gum disease . . the works! I have to say also…read morethat good dental care, in my experience, has been harder to find than any other medical specialty. Well, I've found the gold standard. Due to both surgery and excellent care by the hygienist , John Divinagracia, my mouth is healthier than it has been in 20 years. This office keeps both doctors and staff trained on the most advanced thinking and technology, and it pays off in terms of patient care and outcome. Encinitas periodontics has my highest recommendation. ,

I did not have a positive experience at this office. The girl at the front desk (can't remember her…read morename) is often quite rude on phone and in person. However, all the girls in the back are super nice, professional and great. I absolutely do not recommend Dr. Traxler. He was quite dismissive with me many times. He recommended I have a bone graft and osseous surgery for an ongoing issue I was having with gum along back molar. He knew that I had been on oral and IV bisphosphonate drugs but didn't advise me of some of the issues these could cause with surgery. I had major problems after surgery including two areas of bone exposure along the gum line and delayed healing. He was very dismissive during each after visit and said, I just need to have that tooth pulled. I had always told him that I wanted to keep the tooth as I knew pulling a tooth could lead to many other issues. But he did not want to work with me in preserving the tooth and/or helping me to get this area healed. He said there was nothing more he could do, just go to a surgeon. I immediately changed periodontists. The current doctor was kind, caring, professional and worked with me to save my tooth. And all areas of bone exposure have now healed. Please be careful with this office.

From scheduling to insurance, the warm greeting at the front desk, and even the X rays, the entire office runs smoothly and professionally. As a board certified periodontist, Dr. Kania is outstanding. She took the time to explain her process, walk me through her findings, and answer my questions about how she collaborates with dentists.

I cracked my crown during covid and needed more than a cleaning. While getting the crown fixed, I figured it was also a good time to take care of some other issues that I had been putting off until I found someone I could trust. I asked my best friend and consigliere if he had a recommendation. "Dr. Sherman is the best. Complete trust." After my visits I wholeheartedly agree. The covid protocols were excellent. Temperature and oxygen level checks before entry. The office was spotless, extremely clean and had very specific air circulation. The staff was friendly, extremely helpful and thorough. And most importantly of all my teeth were extremely well taken care of. The cleaning was amazing! So nice to have my teeth cleaned for the first time in over a year (thanks covid). Two of my fillings needed to be fixed. This was handled with precision and care including during a follow-up visit to correct some touching that was occurring. Finally the crown was just exactly perfect!! It's incredible! The shading, size and fit are so good you can't tell at all it's a crown. I'm ready to show off my new smile, too bad nobody can see it behind the mask. Dr. Sherman and her team are true professionals only wanting the best for your teeth. If you're looking for a dentist you will not do better than Dr. Sherman's office. Have a lovely day!

I've been going to this dentist office for at least 10 years. Here's some pros and cons:…read more PROS: - early appointments (7am) - optional topical analgesic (some numbing gel) if you don't like the pain of the metal plaque-removing tool or the floss work - pretty saltwater fish tank - several chairs for kids to sit in and wait - free toothbrush and floss with every cleaning visit - gentle and quick x-rays - they offer the "tray" teeth whitening service - sweet hygienists that do a really good job cleaning CONS: - canceled or missed appointment will cost you money - no late-in-the-day appointments (I wish I could get in there after work) - small office, so it feels cramped and you can hear other people getting drilled - this dentist is not in the Anthem Blue Cross group - no TV or anything to look at while your teeth are getting cleaned - nothing to listen to while your teeth are getting cleaned...except musak over the office speakers but usually it's really boring elevator music (I would prefer classic rock or something more lively)

I've been a patient of Drs. Koett, Olson, and Small for almost 20 years…read more I have always had great results with restoration of my teeth, and I appreciate the dialogue about options. Appointments run on time, for which I am very grateful. The front desk staff are knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. Drs. are available for emergencies with a phone exchange, who will forward your calls. The office is spotless, and follows every precaution to ensure patient safety. The waiting room is comfortable and quiet. The chairs are comfortable (important for those with back problems). Every hygienist on staff is careful and keeps you informed about the best ways to maintain gums and teeth. I always look forward to my appointments - this practice always makes me feel like family. I used to be a 'white knuckle' patient decades ago; today, I can fall asleep in the chair because I'm so relaxed. I think this happened because I have always felt confident and secure about the care I receive. I am grateful for the high standards maintained at this office. Thank you to all 3 doctors and every person on staff for giving me great care.

I live 70 miles away from their office and pass plenty of other dentists on the way but the service I get there is second to none.

Their office is staffed by consummate professionals that are caring, communicative, accommodating, easy to work with. Dr. Henninger recently performed 2 gum grafts on both sides of my mouth at once.

Either my friends are all exaggerating, or Galli, Henninger and team did a great job making it near painless and supported a swift recovery (I know it was the latter).
