    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.

She was welcoming, attentive, and thoughtful both before and after our appointments, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. Our hygienists, Daniella and Kristina, were exceptional. They are true professionals who made the entire experience feel smooth and stress-free. What stood out most was how intentional they were about explaining each step of the process. Taking the time to walk me through what they were doing made me feel informed, involved, and confident in my long-term dental care. Dr. Leah was equally impressive. She is knowledgeable, articulate, and incredibly approachable. She took the time to thoroughly explain my current dental health and thoughtfully discussed what we may want to consider in the future--without any pressure to move forward with unnecessary or out-of-pocket procedures. Her approach felt honest and patient-centered. As I'm heading into the coming months of pregnancy, I especially appreciated her guidance and reassurance about maintaining optimal dental health during this important phase.

Based on his previous office manager's assurance that insurance would void the prior claim, I proceeded with treatment and paid in full upfront the next day. The insurance claim was ultimately not voided, leaving me responsible for $2,527.40 out of pocket. I felt the manager just wanted to get the money from me and I felt cheated. Unfortunately, the replacement crown placed by Dr. Alhamdi also resulted in failed margin fitting and seal. After reviewing X rays that I specifically requested, I noticed a distal margin ledge that was never disclosed to me. Dr. Alhamdi kept saying the margin fit was acceptable, but two independent dentists later confirmed the margin issue and an inadequate seal. Dr. Alhamdi said he can redo the crown for my son not because he made some errors but because of a courtesy of my request which made me feel he is not an honest person. Despite multiple written and phone requests, the office has never provided my son's clinical notes nor responded to my refund request. This was already the second failed crown on the same tooth, and my son now needs a third replacement. Keeping repeating the crown 3 times plus the original crown is damaging the tooth a lot and my son is only 17 years old. Given the repeated issues, lack of transparency, and poor follow up, I no longer trust this office for care.

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.

So I am hoping Yelp will be honest and post my review below. A "One Star" review because it is the lowest allowed! I have been seeing Dr. Abelar for 40 years (he has also treated my wife and children) and he has always provided outstanding care. HOWEVER, he has sold his practice to a private equity firm and they now "run the show;" "care" is no longer about the health and welfare of the patient but rather how much money they can squeeze out of the patient. In the past, if there was an issue regarding treatment Dr. Abelar would promptly resolve it at no additional cost. Not now; he apparently has no say regarding fees/charges. Not only are these unwarranted, but they are excessive and not transparent. Six years ago, Dr. Abelar applied 8 veneers (4 upper/4 lower) for $25,000 and assured me that they would last at least 10 years. They looked and felt great. Last week I noticed a very tiny chip on one of the upper veneers and had Dr. Abelar take a look today. He said it would be a very simple quick repair and said he would be right back. After waiting about 15 minutes in the chair the office manager came in with a form to sign. I noticed that they wanted to charge me almost $500 (the actual charge was $479 and there was no itemization). I told her that the veneer should not have failed so soon and that I should not be charged for this simple repair. She refused and I said I would "live with the chip." She then said I still have to sign the form (which acknowledged acceptance of the fee!!!) and I refused. The office manager left and Dr. Abelar returned. He said he would ask if he could fix the chip at no charge. He left and returned a few minutes later saying that he had permission to make the repair at no charge. He made the repair in about 10 minutes and it looked great. As I was leaving the office the office manager stopped me and said I had to pay $149.00 for "the exam." When I protested, she said they were not charging me for the repair but rather for the photograph and the 2 minutes Dr. Abelar looked at my tooth! After explaining the absurdity of this and receiving a blank stare when I asked if they really wanted to lose 2 patients who have been seeing Dr. Abelar for 40 years (my wife and I), I paid the $149. So, if you are looking for outstanding dental care, I strongly recommend that you look elsewhere; the only thing Aesthetic Dentistry of San Diego cares about is your wallet.

    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.
