IM LOSING ALL MY REMAINING TEETH BECAUSE OF WHAT THIS PLACE DID TO ME AND NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THIS PLACE IS BEFORE CONSIDERING THEM TO GO POKING AROUND IN THEIR MOUTHS. Absolutely lowest quality of care I have ever received. Im 34 y/o at time of posting this review and have LOST more teeth at this office in the last year and a half than I have in the previous 32 years of being alive on this planet. They do not take patient wellness seriously and seem to NEVER have availability for NECESSARY followup care. I just spoke to DentiCal and it looks like im going to have to be referred to a DENTAL SURGEON to correct this offices MALPRACTICE on me. read more

See all

I found it through yelp and the Dental insurance carrier. I was impressed with care and the X-rays were fast but possibly, unnecessary since I had just got them done across the street. I have not been billed until they check my insurance. Overall so far I'm pleased with the service and scheduling. read more

Great service by everyone at this office, staff, hygienist and dentist. I truly appreciate them all. read more

Never a long wait. Hygienists and dentist are great. Smaller office with personal attention

If you're looking for a new Dental office definitely contact them. Was able to schedule an appointment and treatment was nothing but great experience with Dr. Carrara. Their team was super helpful when it came to my fillings done here and the Dr was super caring when it came to patient care. I have no insurance but front office staff was helpful in costs options. Thank you Oceanside smiles. read more

I was looking for a new dentist for my daughter and we decided to try this office. It was so positive I switched myself. Everyone was super kind, helpful and seemingly thorough. We got x-rays and an initial exam. From the office staff, to the dental assistant, to the dentist himself- great care so far. read more

I finally found a dentist that is more concerned with the teeth I have than trying to sell me something else. Robert Carrera is my dentist and he is very friendly, nice and makes you feel like he cares. My hygienist Nicole is also very friendly and concern about getting your teeth nice and clean. The whole staff is friendly and helpful. Too bad they aren't open on Saturdays cause I would be able to send more people there. read more

Scam dental! Rude staff , liars and will be reported for Medicare fraud. Do not use this office. They will lie about hikes in your bill , filled with fraudulent charges. There will be follow through. You have been warned. read more

Had a cleaning and polishing. She did a great job. I felt no pain and no bleeding. She told me areas that need to be brushed more and also use dental floss and water pick. Front office very efficient and friendly. Over all great experience. If you are looking for a dental office I would highly recommend Oceanside Smiles. Give them a call. read more

From The Doctor On Down To The Staff. Everyone was so polite and professional. I would highly recommend anyone to visit this facility, If for no other reason then to just have them put a Smile on your face ! A Customer Guy Spencer... p.s. **************************** Great read more

I visited Oceanside Smiles to have a filling that had fallen off inspected. The office is small and conveniently located near my home. The doctor examined me and suggested a treatment plan, which seemed fine at first. The issues began when I reviewed the treatment plan with the front desk. I asked who I could speak to if the charges didn't match my insurance schedule. The staff member immediately replied, "They're correct--I checked myself," with noticeable attitude. Pro Tip: Always call your insurance company to verify rates before agreeing to treatment. When I contacted my insurance, I discovered discrepancies. For example, a non-standard cleaning was listed at $150, but my plan covers it at zero cost. I informed the staff, but they refused to call my insurance for verification. After multiple emails and attempts by my insurance to reach them, the $150 charge was eventually corrected--but then another unexpected fee was added, which was not part of the original plan. They also tried to charge $45 for a desensitizing treatment, which my plan covers at zero copay when fillings are involved. After back-and-forth communication, the staff told my insurance company that I should go elsewhere. To date, I have not received any follow-up from a manager or the doctor. This experience raises concerns about transparency and willingness to work with insurance providers. I hope this review helps others verify charges before treatment and encourages Oceanside Smiles to improve staff training and communication. read more

The dentist and his entire staff are kind, professional, skilled, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Oceanside Smiles as your neighborhood dentist practice. read more

I was misleaded by this office. They offered a teeth whitening treatement via Facebook ad for new clients. I made an appiontment because I was looking for a new dentist. When I arrived to the appiontment the placed looked run down not a nice new dental office. After waiting for over 50 minutes because the receptionist could not figure out my insurance they finally rushed me in and then said that they did not have time to do the teeth cleaning. I was so annoyed after wasting an hour waiting. I insist in talking to dentist so the proceedure would be done since I took the day off. They rush threw the process. I asked when they would preform the whitening proceedure and they answered that they did not have the material to do it. They told me to call at the end of the week. I left very annoyed. I called the end of the week, and nothing. After calling several weeks the office manager said that I could pick up the teeth whitening kit. When I finally stop what she gave me was an absolutely a joke. They gave me one pack that was not even worth $6. I google the name of whitening kit and the kit comes with 7 packs, this pathetic office gave me one pack worth about $6. Are you kidding me, they wanted to get a new client for $6. Very unethical and pathetic behavior. Don't waste your time and find a dentish office that values their customers. The pack on this picture is not what I recieved, the office took one individual package and have it to me. Very misleading and unprofessional!!! The positive review was probably from friends and family! By the way there is NO confusion on my part, it's insulting for the owner Andy to say there is. I know exactly what office I went too (3870 Mission Ave Oceanside, CA 9205,) they did run Facebook ads to attract new clients last year, other wise why would they of given me this pathetic one pack of teeth whitening. Owner might not even be aware what his office staff is doing. Even the pictures on Yelp show a banner where they advertising "Now accepting New Patients." Pathetic business, look at all the bad reviews those matter more! read more

Don't hesitate to go see the Dentist & staff at OCEANSIDE SMILES!! I was referred by a friend who researched Oceanside smiles, and she was spot on. The office is beautiful. The staff is very welcoming and professional, and I highly recommend OCEANSIDE SMILES DENTISTRY in Oceanside.! read more

everyone is very friendly and efficient. I haven't had any dental work yet but they did a thorough exam. i will be continuing with them.

This is Oceanside's best-kept dental secret. After a few failed attempts at dental care in Oceanside, I finally found a clinic I like. They say the first person you meet at an office after you walk in sets the tone for the entire office. This is true at Oceanside Smiles. Veronica is polite, welcoming, and kind. Dental assistant Eileen is consistently excellent. Office Manager Daniella is efficient and offers professional guidance for her staff. Dr. Carrara is the best. He actively listens and is caring, gentle, and professional as the chief dentist. Hygienist Lilyeth is the best I've had. She is engaging, kind, professional, and caring. Michelle is top-notch, too. Everyone at this practice is skilled at what they do. Thank you for your service and care. PS. - Love the music read more

I have been going to this clinic for at least 4yrs. They are very helpful and the BEST dentist I've EVER !!!!!! I have not had any pain during ANY of the procedure, from simple fillings and crowns to a VERY difficult root canal. Wished I had found them years ago. read more

Totally recommend this office...the doctor helped save my teeth after the last dentist wanted to put in 5 implants...

Dr. Carrara and his team are so nice, welcoming, and respectful. If you live in Oside, you're lame if you don't go here! read more

After coming here for different types of dental work I must say this is a great, comfortable and very awesome office. Thank you again.

Have been to this dentist office just over a year and everyone has been nice and easy to work with. My last dentist never even tried to get approval for a deep cleaning and wanted me to pay $300-400 out of pocket, yet Oceanside Smiles were able to get my insurance approved. Went for my deep cleaning and, although I heard the procedure was very painful from some of my friends, it was easy and painless. Lilia was a fantastic hygienist and very professional! Highly recommend this place! read more

I love this dentist! Ive always had high anxiety and scared tp go to dentist, every since little girl. This is the first time ever that i go regularly and my anxiety and fear is very low. First dental office I go regularly. He diesnt try to gouge you with unnecessary work like many ithers do. Very honest! read more

I guess they are adequate at their job, but i absolutely hate when they try to upsell people. It's like buying a car, well you'll need this and this. Witnessed a woman being told she had to pay for a procedure she said her insurance already covered. If you need a filling they are probably ok, anything else, get a second opinion. read more

I visited Oceanside Smiles today and it was a very good experience. He explained my treatment plan and quote me a fair price.

All dental care!! No pain having 5 teeth removed for an upcoming surgery. Recommend anyone with dental issues to come here I am going no were else read more

I left a negative review after my first visit mainly because they could not schedule me for the deep cleaning I needed for 3 1/2 months. They eventually got me in much earlier than that and I had a very positive experience on the next visit. The hygienists (Suzie and Lilia) were engaging, informative, and thorough. As a result I definitely plan to continue getting my dental care at Oceanside Smiles. read more

I had a chipped filling and was able to get it looked at right away. Last year, I had a crown put on. Dr. Carrara was patient and very thorough. The office accepts Dentical. read more

Muy amables, atencion rapida, explican muy claro el problema y la solucion, ofrecen un un cuidado de muy buena calidad.

These people are the best, hands down. I've been to various dentists over the years who are pushy, scammy, condescending, lecture me and question why I have the dental issues I have. Oceanside Smiles IS NOT that. Dr Carrera is amazing, he was respectful and didn't talk down at me, just gave me a treatment plan and carried it out. He even adjusted my glasses because they were messing up my lashes LOL if that doesn't show someone paying personal attention to their clients idk what does. All the office staff were helpful, informative, responsive, and truly worked to get me in asap around my schedule when I was having tooth pain. I'll always recommend them and I'm so appreciative for Dr Carrera and all the staff there! read more

Very professional office and practice. Staff is very friendly. Good cleaning appointment.

Veronica at the front desk was warm and helpful; I had many questions and she was kind and patient as she explained things to me. Dr. Carrera warmly greeted me (much appreciated) and he was very kind, throughout the entire appointment. He listened to my concerns and went out of his way to make me comfortable and help me. I appreciate you very much, Dr. Carrera! I left without tooth pain and in happy tears. Dr. Carrera's assistant was lovely, as well! I will be back and thank you again! read more

I wanted to give my highest endorsement to the wonderful and competent staff at Oceanside Smiles! I have had a number of appointments with them in the past few months, and I have been taken by their warmth, camaraderie, professionalism, and service! Drs. Roberts & Carrera, Lilia, Jazmine, Eileen, Veronica, and Daniela have all been kind and supportive of my care (please forgive me if I have misspelled anyone's name). I always feel refreshed and rejuvenated when I leave their office, and I plan to continue seeing them as long as I can. Please consider Oceanside Smiles, if you are searching for a dentist! Thank you! read more

Oceanside Smiles we're the absolute best!! Not only did they make me feel supported and cared for but they did an amazing job on my extractions and have been such a help with my immediate dentures. So natural looking and comfortable, I just can't say enough wonderful things about them!! read more
