So clean after awww
A A.

Omg this was the most gentle and through teeth cleaning I've ever had. Jasmine did a superb job and everyone in the office was kind. The doctor even gave me some cool options I never knew I had for my teeth. Im grateful to have found this place and highly reccomend. They even have a tv in the ceiling lol 10/10

Amazing results and a wonderful experience! Thanks, Jessica!

Took my son Andrew in for teeth whitening after getting his braces off. We are highly satisfied with the outcome and had a great experience with our office visit overall. Professional and friendly staff and our appointment ran on time. Thank you Modern Dentistry, Jessica, Nancy and Kayla!

Night-guard

I cannot bear any more about how they treat our family after being over 10 years of loyal customer. Let me briefly explain it here. We had an issue with my wife's night-guard last year, and Dr. Mojav didn't clean up after cut the edges to fit it and put it into her mouse with lots of plastic kind of residues on it. We asked the dangerous of the situation, and he replied basically saying that it'll be safe as the harmful of the material is unknown. So I asked again to get more detail but he just replied he cannot work with our family any more, since we cannot trust him. We were really shocked from the response and then soon after the office sent us the family balance which includes many wrong information; they charged me what they didn't submit a claim to the insurance or charge on service items which paid off already couple years ago. So I had to search all my records to verify that the invoice and found most of the items are incorrectly charged, so they corrected some of them. I had to do the same conversation several times till now but seems they didn't care about this issues any more, except for charging more money to us, once they decided not to care our family. After long long conversation, they agreed to refund the remaining credit, but I found they still calculated incorrectly, so I asked to correct it but they didn't response at all for more than a month now. I'm exhausted now and cannot bear any more, so writing this review, even I hesitated because of the relationship so far. However I saw their attitude was changed 180° differently, after the night guard issue occurred.

Best Dentist I've had in the 20 years living in San Diego . I'm new to modern dentistry but Dr. Holly and her staff are incredibly nice , supportive, comforting , efficient and excellent at their jobs . I've had a root canal , cleaning and a crown which brought me to the dentist. I was so nervous but once I was greeted and welcomed by Dr. Holly I felt so safe and completely trusting in their ability to fix me up. My root canal was from the specialist he was amazing also no pain at all done in an hour ! I would give them 10/10 . even their Covid procedures put me at ease . For anyone looking for a dentist I highly recommend Dr. Holly And modern dentistry.

We've trusted Super Dentists with three of my children for years, and experiences like this are…read moreexactly why we continue coming back. Last week, my daughter saw Dr. Alvarado for the first time alongside Soli, who has been caring for my kids for years. Together, they were an absolute blessing. They didn't just provide excellent dental care--they created a space where my daughter felt safe, heard, and genuinely cared for. Their kindness, patience, professionalism, and knowledge were evident from start to finish. They took the time to do a thorough exam, explained everything clearly, and made sure we felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. As a parent, there's nothing more valuable than knowing your children are in compassionate, capable hands. Dr. Alvarado and Soli truly embody that rare combination of excellence and heart. Thank you both for making such a positive impact on our family. Super Dentists is fortunate to have you!

I am extremely upset and honestly shocked by the level of care we received at this office…read more I brought my almost 6-year-old son, who has a disability, in because his face was swollen, his mouth smelled bad, and he had a fever. It was very obvious he had a serious dental issue, likely an infection. Instead, we were seen by someone named Soha Hemmat, who introduced herself as a doctor, but based on this experience, I seriously question her competence. She spent less than two minutes examining my son. No thorough check, no concern, no effort. She dismissed everything as "just a virus," told us to brush his teeth and give him Tylenol, and walked out like the situation didn't matter. That was completely wrong -- and dangerously negligent. My son's fever continued, and his condition did not improve. We had to contact his actual doctor and take him back to be seen again just six hours later. He was properly examined and diagnosed with a clear infection, and immediately given antibiotics. This could have gotten much worse because of her careless and dismissive attitude. I have been coming to this office for four years and have always had professional experiences, which makes this even more disappointing. But this encounter was unacceptable. No parent -- especially one with a child who has special needs -- should be brushed off like this. This office seriously needs to address this situation. Either provide proper training or reevaluate who they allow to treat patients, because this level of incompetence and lack of care is not just unprofessional -- it's dangerous. Be very careful if you are seen by this person.

Let me start by saying several things: 1. I am no stranger…read moreto dentists (unfortunately) 2. I tend to be very selective when I choose a provider (I stayed with my former dentist in La Jolla for over 25 years). So why did I switch? 1. Heard nothing but great things about Dr. schaffer 2. It is 5 minutes away and super convenient 3. Dr. Schaffer is super nice, knowledgeable and liked his conservative approach to treatment so you did not feel pressured as you had several options to ponder. 4. He runs his practice on-time and, does not numb you if you do not need it (a first for me) . 5. Friendly and easy to schedule appointments with the front desk. All-in-all and, despite his "water boarding" techniques perfected at the USMC (I am joking), this has been a great first experience on a fairly complicated procedure. In recap, the dental office lived up to their tagline "Schaffer Dental Excellence"!

I had some excellent ones, but 6 months later they are gone. Last visit - I got upsold on several services during regular cleaning, and of course I had to ask if there's an extra charge every time, the hygienist upselling me would not come out and say it herself. And then at checkout the receptionist surprises me with another upcharge, one that was not revealed to me, and one for a service I'm still not sure I received, AND as an explanation proceeds to give me a diagnosis that neither the hygienist nor the dentist gave me. Basically malpractice I would think. Anyway, I was distracted and paid, but I'm still pissed and I'm not coming back. Too bad, the doc himself is nice, but his team - sadly they rarely match the excellence.

I've been a patient at Radiant Dental Arts for many years and from the moment you walk into the office, Cameron and Sonia greet you with a smile and run an efficient, professional office. Melissa, the dental hygenist, always does a great job cleaning my teeth too. Recently I had a cavity inside a crown that had to be replaced. Was not looking forward to going thru the shot to numb the area, lip numbness and drilling. From the moment I sat in the chair, Dr. Kurt Christensen could not have made that process any easier...and painless! And guess what? He makes the new crown while you're there, so you don't have to wear a temporary for a couple weeks, then have to make another appt. to come back for the permanent crown. This process is done all in ONE visitl! When I came home from being 'crowned', my sweetheart asked if I needed to take a rest after my procedure. Told him that I didn't feel like I'd even been to the dentist...wow! Dr. Christensen is professional and personable...and YES, I do look forward to my next visit to the dentist. If you're looking for someone to take great care of your teeth by making going to the dentist a 'positive' experience...Dr. Christensen is your man. Make the call!

I've honestly never been particularly satisfied with my dental care in the past. I have TMJ…read moredisorder that has been a major issue in my life, and my teeth have always been a mess. I've had crowns done before with multiple other providers, the result is always the same- the bite is a little off, I get migraines, they can't seem to adjust it adequately, and I end up wishing I had never gone in. Recently I had another one of these old crowns fail, along with the neighboring tooth breaking in half, and with dread, I began looking for a dentist. A friend with TMJ disorder recommended I see Dr. Abelar, and I'm quite pleased I followed her advice. Dr. Abelar himself seems, to me, a bit distant and reserved in terms of bedside manner, but the work he does is incomparable. The adjustment of the bite on my new crowns was so meticulous, requiring many many tiny adjustments before he was satisfied enough to cement them in place, that for the first time in my life, following crown placement, there is not a single high spot, awkward spot, grinding spot, banging spot- nothing. The bite meets flawlessly on both sides like nothing was ever disturbed. To that end, I cannot recommend this office highly enough, particularly if you have TMJ disorder or malocclusion. I intend to have extensive further work done at this office, and will continue to update as I go, but after this experience I'm quite confident going ahead here with a major and overdue dental overhaul.

I was charged for maintenance and a comprehensive evaluation on every visit, which is excessive and not in any way standard. I was charged for a deep cleaning without any local anesthetic, which amounts to a regular cleaning.

I ended up in the chair from 2 PM to 7 PM, needing seven numbing injections just to get through it. Over just 1.5 years, I saw a different hygienist at every visit -- zero consistency, no continuity of care, and no accountability. This office lacks professionalism, quality, and basic patient communication. I expected better -- and so should you.
