5 star all the way!!!! I've been a patient of Dr. Smile for about 3 years. It's quite evident his staff enjoy working here and it shows. The woman that cleaned my teeth taught me how to properly floss and recommended I purchase a water pic. As a result my gums have never been this healthy. Keep up the good work guys!! read more

Dr. Nick and staff are great. I've been to several family dentist and I would recommend him and his staff over them all.

Our family has a new dentist, Dr. Addario, and we are truly impressed with him. He took the time to thoroughly explain our X-ray results and clearly outlined his plan of care. We really appreciated his kindness and professionalism. Kudos as well to his wonderful staff -- such a caring and welcoming team! read more

Everything was excellent, no waiting, friendly, expert staff. Very personable and professional.

Been coming here for years. Dr. Addario is always so gentle and caring. He treats us like family. My whole family has been coming to his clinic since 2003. He makes sure he give me the best advise with regard to my teeth. read more

Had a chipped tooth and filling fell out. Not a fan of the dentist but felt at ease when before he started drilling he said you should feel o pain. Exactly that. All went well. The assistants and receptionist were all professional and nice. Office very clean and got to watch a little tv as well. I highly recommend Dr. Addario. Thanks doc. Coach read more

Dr. Addario is an absolute lifesaver! I can't express enough gratitude to him and his staff who went above and beyond to alleviate my excruciating toothache. They not only got me in at the last minute but also promptly referred me for a same-day root canal. Exceptional care, thorough, prompt service, and genuine concern for patients' well-being. I've had extensive dental treatments and this was by far the best experience I've had. Highly recommend! read more

I'm picky. I'm high maintenance. I hate going to the dentist. I've got high expectations. I went to more than a dozen dental consultations to pick my dentist after my teeth got messed up (by the best of the best Beverly Hills Dentists!)... and here they are, literally 141 miles away... nearly in another country, but I make the travel. Why? Because they are the best of the best. Also they practice OBI methods meaning they are concerned about your bite. Dr. Addario is by far the most knowledgeable dentist I have ever met on multiple levels. He and his assistant, Sloane are so down to earth, serious but funny. I don't normally smile but he has me laughing while he's drilling a tooth. He greets his patients by name and remembers all of them. Even though I prefer holistic and bio dentists, I have made the crossover because he knows teeth and he cares and my approach to my health. Each time I have an appointment they're ready before me. Dr. Addario often greets me and brings me back and does an amazing job. I will continue to go to NEARLY another country to see Dr. Addario anytime. His staff is competent and professional and helpful. They even have helped me by booking a hotel room when I forgot to.... and ordered me lunch when I have a long appointment. Each appointment so far has been fun, relaxing and full of laughs... that I forget I'm actually getting dentist work done. I trust them... you should too. PS this is why I hate Yelp... the negative reviews are so full of rubbish its annoying. Someone complaining to pay $477 for a root canal? A root canal is like $2500 every where else. His prices are about half of what you'd pay anywhere else and the work is solid. Also they listen to the client. I can go on but I'm not a Yelper... in fact I hate giving this site any credence. ----- I wrote this review nearly 2 years ago. All the work that Dr. Addario's office has been solid as a rock. Completely teeth pain-free. I highly recommend spending the money to get your bite fixed... you won't regret it but go to Dr. Addario, he studied proper bites and he knows how to fix it. read more

Wow wow WOW. So impressed with Dr. Addario's work. We had some work done for my smile since I was always self conscious or the size of my laterals. I got an Invisalign treatment done for a few months and some veneers done for my peg laterals. THEY LOOK SO GOOD. And real. Dr. Addario and his staff are super friendly and every appointment felt genuine. I'm so happy with the results. Before I would never smile with my teeth, now I'll never stop! Thank you doc!!! read more

Today I had a great dental cleaning and gum measurement. Time Seemed to go by quickly and painless. I recommend this dentist and staff for your dental needs. read more

So like many people I'm not a big fan of going to the dentist, and It's been quite sometime since I've seen one. A few days ago I had major pain from my back tooth (wisdom) which I knew it was gonna give me a problem months ago but put it off. I called many other places and couldn't be seen for about a week or two, even though I explained this was an emergency. When I called this office the lady that helped me said she understands and would talk to the doctor and give me a call back. I was very lucky that they were able to fit me in the next day! Long story short.. they did the damn thing!!! And Nick(doc) was hella cool and made me feel really comfortable!!... I think I just found my new dentist!! read more

I was referred to Dr. Addario and his team from a family friend and all I cannot express how grateful and satisfied I am to be able to be treated there. Everyone there from check in to check out was nothing but professional and caring. The attention to detail that Dr. Addario and his team have is exactly what I was looking for in a dentist. I would recommend that anyone in the San Diego area make the time to get an appointment here. read more

Best of Best! Superb Doctor. Very knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating. Meticulous. He Plans and does a lot of homework to perfection. read more

I have seen so many dentist the past 47 years due to military so never had just one dentist. My last dentist at the Center for Beautiful smiles I thought I had a good one but unfortunately they are closed on my only day off during the week and I didn't get results as promised. I found Dr Nick and during my visit he was very punctual and after examining his findings I didn't realize all the work that needs ti be done that other dentist failed to do. It is heartbreaking to know that there are dentist that just don't care to do a thorough investigation. Dr Nick is a very kind dentist and although it was just a consult he did fix my chip tooth until my next appointment which we will go over all the work that will be done. So far his integrity has won me over and I'm excited to see my ending results without breaking the bank lol. I will continue my reviews. As for recommendations we'll if you want honest feedback then this is the place to go. Thank you Dr Nick A for such a pleasant visit and helping me keep my smile so I can speak to my in office meetings. See you soon. Appointment was set and I was seen in timely manner which I absolutely loved. No waiting or guessing. read more

Awesome dentist. Office staff very friendly and informative. They above and beyond expectations. Thank u. read more

My family and I have been on a quest to find a good, honest, reliable and efficient dentist for the last 2 years. My teenage boys transitioned from pediatric dentistry and my husband refused to go to the dentist because they always ran behind and tried to sell him things that brought them the most profit. It was made very clear to us that although my kids had been regularly attending the dentist since they were younger, they had not received the appropriate care needed. My parents have been seeing Dr. Nick for a couple years now and always raves about how great their experiences were. I was a tad bit jealous as we could not be seen by him due to our insurance During open enrollment last year I called the office and they patiently walked me through all of my options and which one would be accepted in their office. I wasn't even a patient yet and that was super impressive. Once our coverage began in January I scheduled appointments for my family. I have three teenage sons (one who is a college student) and a husband. I am the only person in the family that isn't terrified by the dentist. Dr. Nick and his staff scheduled us in a way that we were together which is what got my family in the door. Dr. Nick talked to them in a language they understood and explained everything!!! Due to COVID-19 my son was home from college and needed work done. He got ALL of his work done before he had to get back to school. Knowledge and understanding is very important and because of their business practice, my family received all the care that they need to get us on the road to good oral health. No miracle pills or cocktails, just great dentistry!!! His staff accommodate you however you need and they are all very kind, flexible and knowledgeable. I don't know what took me so long to transition over, but we have finally found what we needed in Dr. Nick Addario and his staff. I will be sharing this hidden gem with all of my friends and family. If you are considering this office, be like Nike and Just Do It! You won't regret it. read more

Called for an appointment was looking to change dentist. Said they were booked at the moment for the week Gave them my number to call back and schedule Asap as I needed work done they never called back I put 3 stars because I didn't try again but feel if I'm inquiring about being a new patient should have been handled better read more

Dr. Addario is simply the best. He understands that healthcare is an individual relationship and that every interaction is best tailored to each unique patient. He and his wonderful staff keep things positive and educational. They are warm, welcoming, and motivational which is exactly what I and my family need. I can't recommend them any higher. read more

My family have been patients with Dr. Addario for many years. Ever since I moved, I still go to Sunbow Family Dentistry as I have yet to find another dentist or staff who could deliver the same level of service and care as this office does. Believe me, I tried going to other places and they fall short. The staff here are so knowledgeable and caring! I walk in and everyone knows my name - I'm not just another number or patient. My hygienist is amazing - she is gentle yet thorough. My teeth feel sparkly and new after cleanings! Dr. Addario takes the time to examine, explain everything, and listen to my concerns. He is constantly up to date with effective treatments and it shows! I never experienced any pain or a bad proceedure like at other places. He's THE BEST! I trust him 100%. As for the office, it is clean, equipment is modern, they have headsets and ceiling TVs so you can stay entertained during appointments. After my appointments, I leave feeling happy and that my teeth are well cared for. Plus I love the wonderful quality complimentary Nimbus toothbrushes they give out too! Super soft and gets into all the hard to reach places. I will definitely continue to go here as long as I can. I highly recommend them! read more

Been going here for over a decade. Dr. Addario and his team are the best. This a dentistry that cares about you and not just your teeth. Staff are courteous and super friendly. Before coming to Sunbow dentistry, I had a bunch of sloppy dentists and a lot of painful procedures. No more worries about that! Dental procedures here are comfortable, up to date and efficient. Dr. Addario will take good care of you and make your smile great and shiny. read more

Dr. Addario is by far the best there is out there! Went in with a chipped tooth which he fixed in no time, looking good as new! always a great experience every time I step foot into his office, highly recommend !! read more

After three bouts of BAD dentistry I finally found one that actually cares about the person and not just money. He is very meticulous about his work which I really appreciate. Other dentists have given me qoutes on the work they want done without really seeing what my options were. He also met with my husband at the same time during a consultation for my dentures. The front off with Debbie and Christina have been nothing but fantastic and accomdating with appointments and get to know the clients coming in I'm so happy with my dentures and really feel he gave me my smile back and therefore gave me back my confidence on myself. read more

Nick Addario, DDS - Before and after - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I am just like most when it comes to going to a Dentist, rather not go. Then you have to worry about no only pain but possibly being taken advantage of with procedures you don't really need. In my experience with this Office they are very professional and I have never once gotten the feeling I was being taken advantage of. I have always felt not just the Dentist but the entire staff always puts the well being of the patient first. I have to say this is a new age Dentist with an old values practice. Very welcomed and appreciated. I wish more business were ran like this. I would absolutely recommend this office to someone looking for an honest Dentist and skilled. read more

1. I had a 1PM appointment. 2. I arrived there EARLIER than 1PM. 3. It's 2PM! Still in the waiting room. 4. The Front staff lady (at ~2:15PM) finally tells me he needs to reschedule b/c he is working on another patient that was NON-Scheduled! 5. COWARD! Why couldn't you tell me yourself Nick Addario! 6. WASTED Dental Insurance! 7. WORST Service! 8. DON'T WASTE Your Money on a Dentist who doesn't earn it! read more

[This is a continuation of an earlier compliment post I wrote..but was too long for Yelp - so here's the rest..] I had braces for 4 years when I was younger. Then almost 20 years later I did Invisilign with Dr. A. If you or or your kids needs to have your teeth re-aligned, Invisilign is a far better option. I think it was more expensive than braces - I shopped around a bit on that, but Wow - the convenience, reduced pain, quality outcome - it's hard to not recommend this enough. Truly an amazing service...and braces was actually pretty tough in my experience. The sharp metal, food caught in them, the initial adjustments were painful for days. The contrast between these two methods is...infinite? Yeah - that's about right. So, I hope this helps you find your way into Nick's office - you'll be thankful you did! Feel free to comment on my comment and let me know if you agree - and you can see from MY profile that I'm a real person with real reviews..kind of helps to have some real honesty these days right?! Thank you for everything Dr. Addario and team!! read more

Dr. Addario and his office staff consistently provides 5 star service from the time you check in to the moment you walk out. It's the "little extras" that make all the difference. Thank you read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Addario for over five years. In the 20 or so visits to the Sunbow Offices, I have never waited more than 3 minutes. The Sunbow staff has always been professional, friendly, and have routinely accommodated my sometimes-hectic schedule. Dr. Addario himself has always made me feel comfortable about any dental procedures he and his staff has planned for me. For Dr. Addario's dental practice, my experience has been nothing but delightful, especially considering some of the procedures I've had over the last five years. I'm also very pleased with my dental health - to which I have only the Sunbow team to thank. Dr. Addario is worthy of my highest rating. read more

Found Dr. Addario through Yelp and glad that I did! We were looking for a new dentist closer to home. I took my daughter here for a checkup since she was complaining of a tooth ache. The staff is very welcoming and Dr. Addario was very thorough and honest. He took the time to go over the exam and answer my questions. I'm someone who truly gets anxiety with dental visits and I felt at ease in this office. However, prior to calling I asked if they accepted Tricare (United Concordia) and I was told they did. But after my daughter's checkup was done, I had a copay (which shouldn't have been the case since we get complimentary cleanings). I had to pay $170 out of pocket. I could be partly to blame since I didn't check if this office was in the network but at the same time I could've been told beforehand that our insurance was accepted but there could be a copay since they are not a network dentist. Because of this I had to cancel all our appointments because $170 for each exam was just too costly for us. But I definitely recommend this office if you're looking for a great dentist. read more

I was extremely impressed with Dr Addario at first meeting. He called me into his office himself--which he pointed out during the consult--was very personable, really seemed to listen to my concerns and show empathy for my history of bad dentistry. He even used a Maslow pyramid of dental needs: pain being the main concern and my reason for this consult. He really pointed out the value of this first meeting: getting to know his patient's needs. I thought I had finally found the one, the dentist whom I could keep forever--and so close to my home. I was so excited I told all my friends and family. I was made two appointments and was surprised a cleaning appointment was set first since I had had a cleaning done less than 6 months prior with the dentist that caused the pain... Ok no problem! I was still very hopeful, I would just have to leave work early again... Well the dental pain was not addressed at the second office visit either. When he was done working on the wrong tooth I mentioned the pain had gotten worse, assuming that he would begin working on that one next...He sputtered for a bit, looked pointedly at his assistant, and said that tooth had not been scheduled at that visit... WHAT?!! I was too shocked for words. Couldnt really understand. What happened to the pyramid of dental needs he had sold me on? Didnt he even check why I was there? He basically just said oops and that I should schedule again for that week. Sure, I can just leave work whenever I want to... To this day I dont even know if I only paid for one tooth or two. And if I only paid for one, then I would of course be expected to shell out another $400-$600 for the right tooth to be worked on just like magic. And do I want to give this guy a second chance with my history of dental disappointments? I have mulled it over a few months and decided no when the office called to remind me of a pending appt for my next cleaning. The girl inquired why I was cancelling and I told her. She asked if I wanted the Dr to call me and I said it was up to him: what can he say now after all this time? She assured me the doctor would want to speak to me but I never got a call from the office again. Thats ok though. I have moved on to dentist # 5 and my appt is scheduled in 2 wks. Wish me luck. Truth is, I dont know if Dr Addario could have fixed my pain. He said he could but I just lost all confidence in him. The tooth he did work on seems to be alright but I didnt have any issues with it other than an unsightly mercury-containing filling. Which are supposed to be removed, I hear. He seemed pretty proud of his work at the time. I'm just really disappointed he was unable to deliver on his promises. I guess the moral of this story is: remind the surgeon which organ he should be working on BEFORE the operation begins. Thanks for reading. read more

Dr. Addario and his staff are professional, welcoming and caring. I've been going here for over 10 years and would never think of changing to another Dr. I actually moved from Chula Vista years ago (I even lived in LA for 2 years) and continue to commute here because of their dedicated service and commitment to excellence. Christina, Paulette and Sloan are the ladies that take extra good care of me, they are thorough and make sure I am comfortable, well aware of the care plan and potential costs. Dr. Addario has all the high tech equipment and has a solid network of dental professionals he outsources to for specific expertise when needed. He is funny, compassionate, personable and a true expert in his field, he does amazing work! read more

Great honest dentist. He and his staff are wonderful people who tell the truth, it is unfortunate that they are out of network for our insurance but if I had the extra money I will still be going. read more

Dr Addario and his team are amazing! I have been a patient for over three years and have received high quality dental care during every visit. Hands down the best dental care provider and excellent customer service. read more

I've been seeing Sunbow Dentistry for years. Dr. Addario and his team are world-class. Professional, honest and truly vested in my dental health, smile, and satisfaction. I appreciate the pictures of patients' smiles on the wall. Their office environment accommodates -- from the televisions on the ceiling, remotes, and coffee as you wait. I don't plan on going anywhere else! read more

Dr. Addario is by far the best dental professional in the South Bay. My appointment was such an enjoyable experience. It started with the very pleasant and helpful lady at the front desk and was followed by the very accommodating lady who took my x-rays. Dr. Addario did a thorough exam and addressed all my concerns and sat down to help set up a plan for the care of my teeth. Dr. Addario's warm and caring demeanor is genuine and it shows in his outstanding work he does for every patient. I highly recommend Dr.Addario for keeping your smile looking great. read more

By the sheer number of 5 star quality this place has, my review may be meaningless and you probably want to scroll down to see all the dirty grits others have left. So instead, I'd like to propose a different type of review, which is the reviews of PATIENTS that I see walking through those doors that may or may not have a yelp account to put up a review. Beginning - Every person that walks through the door, it's astonishing how the two ladies in the front desks remembers every patients names that walks in and how the patients are freely conversing with the ladies about their personal lives, and even drops off gifts of food for them time to time of how genuine the front desk is with their patients. Middle - Instead of being summoned, the doctor himself will come out to greet his patients, and it never fails to cease that when a patient looks at the doctor, they seem to have a rather faint warm glow to their face as if they are seeing an old friend of theirs rather than someone that's going to penetrate your mouth with metal objects. End - Dr. Addario is a family man of 2 kids and a beautiful wife, he loves sports of crossfitting, and enjoys learning to play the piano. Whether you are male or female, black or white, apples or oranges, I've still have yet to see a person that walks out of the building feeling how horrible it was to go visit the dentist at this place. Hope you enjoyed reading this review, Have a great day read more

Friendly staff and very accommodating. Dr. Addario does amazing work, very gentle but super thorough. If you live in chula vista or anywhere in San Diego, you should leave your current dentist and come see Dr. Addario read more

First off, I must say that I was completely grateful to be seen on a last minute basis on the same day! I was in immense pain from my wisdom tooth and needed emergency care. The staff at Sunbow worked me in super last minute! Plus when I got there they were very welcoming and totally knew how to ease my anxiety! I HATE GOING TO THE DENTIST!! I'm sure there are plenty of you who know how I feel! lol! Well the Dr. there is awesome, he made me laugh, I got to watch Food Network (which I love by the way), it was much easier for me to relax while watching Chopped! :o) Before I knew it I was done and outta there! These guys are great! I totally recommend them and feel confident that you will also have a wonderfully pleasant experience! :o) read more

I was very optimistic about Dr. Addario after reading the reviews here. I had a thorough exam with him. He recommended a deep cleaning. I agreed to go. I set up an appointment for the left side of my mouth. I went to that appointment, then was told that they would call me to do the right side. I never heard back from them. ONE YEAR LATER, I got a message from the office requesting an appointment. Really? Totally disappointing. read more

I can't thank Dr. Addario and his staff enough. This first visit has me hooked for life. Yesterday morning at 7:15 I called his office, asking if there was any way they could fit me in somewhere, as my tooth was causing me excruciating pain. Debbie took my information and told me she would call me back within the hour with further news. In ten minutes, my phone rang and I was invited to come in at 9 a.m. She emailed me the paperwork to fill out at home and even took care of contacting my insurance for me. I walked into the office that morning to kind greetings, and was soon ushered back into a chair where X-rays were taken. Dr. Addario then came in, introduced himself, and told me that I would be needing a root canal. He thoroughly explained the X-rays to me, showing me what had gone wrong with my tooth. He checked his schedule, and that of a few other dentists, and told me that I could come back that afternoon at 2 to have him work on the procedure. (It was a very busy day, he said.) He was concerned about the pain and my anxiety of anything dental, so he wrote me two prescriptions for medication to take care of it. I came back at 2 in the afternoon and was quickly treated. Dr. Addario explained everything as he was going along, and I was completely numb and relaxed. I felt no pain. Focusing on the Food Network on the ceiling television helped, as well. This morning, the day after the root canal, I was pleasantly surprised by a phone call from Dr. Addario himself, inquiring after my comfort. This was the "icing on the cake", so to speak, and has cemented my decision to move permanently to this dental practice. I can't recommend Dr. Addario and his staff enough. read more

Words cannot express how thankful I am that I discovered Dr. Addario (thank you fellow Yelpers!) After avoiding going to the dentist for over 20 years, a cracked tooth forced me to look for a dentist that would help me get my mouth back to a healthy condition. Dr. Addario and the team at Sunbow Family Dentistry were exactly what I needed. Call it "fate", "luck", or whatever, I'm just glad I decided to have them take care of me. From the moment I first walked through the front door, I knew I was in good hands. The offices are modern and comfortable, and everyone from the front office crew to the dental assistants (hi Sloane!) to the hygienists are professional as well as friendly. My initial consultation with Dr. Addario helped settle my nerves about going back to the dentist. He listened to my needs and came up with a solid plan to get my mouth healthy again. His knowledge and expertise were clearly evident during our first meeting. What I most appreciate about Dr. Addario is his collaborative style. I feel like he's working with me as a person rather than treating me like a patient so there's no mystery about what's going to happen to me when I'm in "the chair". My experience with Dr. Addario and everyone at Sunbow Family Dentistry has been extremely positive. It might sound ridiculous but it really is true that I now enjoy going to the dentist! The televisions in the rooms, the lip balm, and the warm face wipes are icing on the cake. It's like going to a spa for your mouth! In short, I highly recommend Dr. Addario to anyone and everyone - regardless of how long it's been since they've last seen a dentist! read more
