I have gotten several (four) Invisalign consultations and this practice is definitely light years…read moreahead of the other offices I went to in terms of office size and equipment. The staff makes a point to not pressure you into purchasing anything, rather their goal is to educate you on your options so that you can make a fully informed decision on your own. I can't speak highly enough of the staff--they are so kind, responsive, informative, and empathetic. It is really crazy to say that I leave the dentist's office in a better mood! As a top 1% Invisalign provider, they can offer the most affordable options and payment plans. Of all the practices I went to, this office was the largest but able to offer me the most affordable and comprehensive Invisalign plan. It was around the same price I was quoted at other offices (in Ohio!) however this practice includes retainers and teeth sanding/ whitening (not sure what the correct term is) at the end of your treatment. If you are considering Invisalign, I highly recommend at least doing a complimentary consultation here! I have been searching for the right provider for two years and feel very at peace with the choice I made :)

I love this office! I've gone beyond using them for Invisalign to seeing Pam for my cleanings and…read moreDr. Nip for my tooth issues. They remember everyone who comes in by first name, and they all always say hello! So it really feels like they care about you and it knocks the edge off that I usually have when going to the dentist. Just to be totally clear, I HATE the dentist. I am one of those people that used to have to take a valium before going into any dentist office. But, with the overall kindness, I really have been able to relax. Pam is a superstar hygienist that takes her time cleaning your teeth and getting to know you beyond the dentist chair. Dare I say that I look forward to my cleanings now rather than avoiding them?? It's true! Lastly, I want to shout out Dr. Nip!! Dr. Nip is like the angel dentist of the world, so if you're scared of getting your teeth fixed, just go see him. He is so kind, patient, gentle, and did I mention KIND? He listened to me about my struggles in the past to get numb before procedures, and made sure to take the time to ensure I would not feel any pain. His assistant was sweet as can be, too. I was able to close my eyes and relax rather than clinch every part of my body awaiting pain. It sounds dramatic, but in the past, my experiences were so awful and extremely painful. Thank you so much guys. I love my teeth, my bite, your office, and the whole experience. It's worth the money and extra time spent driving up to La Jolla to see y'all!

I was finally moved to a different room and got my teeth cleaned. I had to had ask the hygienist if I had any cavities and told that I probably didn't if the dentist didn't say anything to me which she didn't. But did try to sell me on invisiline which I declined. When I got to the receptionist I found out that I had 3 cavities. And when I asked to have the dentist explain them to me the dentist was too busy and the receptionist had to walk me through the cavities. I later came in to have the cavities filled and found out that they weren't actual cavities but staining on my old fillings which could indicate potential decay (not definite signs of cavities). Additionally when getting my cavities filled the dentist was late every time and the dental assistant would be assisting multiple clients. I'm summary the practice is incredibly unprofessional, double books patients, not transparent will billing, and their work is subpar for the costs. I recommend finding a different practice.

Dr. Hedge is always very gently while administering anesthesia and dental care. She and her staff always greet me with a smile, and I love the upbeat music she plays. I can't believe how much I laugh during my dental visits. She has been my dentist for almost 9 years, and it feels good to know that I don't have to worry about the health of my teeth. She is the BEST! If you are looking for a dentist, this is the place!

Update: Only months after my work with Dr. Kiyan I've had to…read morehave all of my teeth redone. The trauma that I've been through caused by this man is devastating. I'm so grateful to my new doctor and his team. He charged me half what Kiyan did to do the same work but so much better. It really speaks to how imperative it is to choose the right person for the job. Dr. Kiyan was a horrible mistake I hope nobody else makes.

I have been holding off on posting a review... but I had a friend just recently tell me that they…read morewent here and have had major issues. I went here about years ago and I really loved this office when I first came and I really loved Dr Kiyan and his staff. He was doing a deal for a full mouth reconstruction for $15,000 so I did it. I had six porcelain veneers in my front that I should not have taken out because they were much better quality. He prepped my teeth and did crown lengthening which did not make my gums even. It was an absolute waste of time. I had Crown lengthening once before by a periodontist and highly recommend going to a periodontist for this procedure. He then put 20 crowns in one day. The next day I was in severe pain and it lasted a while... The doctor told me that that was normal. Come to find out I needed numerous root canal's. So after having these new crowns put in I had to go and have root canal's drilled through the middle of the crown. I ended up getting 10root canals which was not cheap. Then I would have crowns fall out and break. I had numerous crowns fall out and break. I paid $500 to fix my last broken ground there and then when another crown broke he said that I needed to have two other teeth have new crowns because they now have decay. Which I mentioned when I first had the crowns done that they weren't fully covering the tooth that they were most likely going to have cavities. Anyway he said that I would now have to pay $1500 per crown. How does any dentist charge more to fix issues caused. Personally I shouldn't even had to of paid the $500 for the one crown that I had fixed. Since having this work done recently I had a crown fall out realizing that there was really no tooth underneath it. So he put a crown on pretty much no tooth..And another crown fell out on the opposite side with pretty much no tooth. I'm Going to have to have a full reconstruction and numerous implants. I'm not even sure how many teeth have nothing underneath the crown.. My teeth havabsolutely been ruined. In the pictures that I posted you can see the uneven gummy smile with one of my front teeth is bigger than the other.. you can see next to my bottom teeth the broken tooth that has been there for a while. And you can also see the missing teeth on the bottom. I am seriously paying the price for bad dentistry. Since these photos luckily I found a dentist to help fix these awful issues but had to spend 18k

When I was in my 20s, two dentists caused me problems. I found Dr. Smith perhaps in the early 80s,…read more and I have probably been his patient for over 40 years. He corrected the problems and every subsequent procedure has been right the first time. Most years, I needed nothing except cleanings and X-rays. So, he never pushed unnecessary, expensive dentistry. People I referred thought he did, because they hadn't been to a dentist for years. He told them what was needed and maybe overwhelmed them. As a longtime patient, I know he is not like this. He is a fantastic dentist, has much training and expertise, and multiple specialties. He never referred me to anyone else because he is an expert at just about every dental procedure. I love his entire staff who stayed with him over the long run. He doesn't allow any pain. I was always comfortable and trusting to go to him every six months. He is a quiet man who knows what he is doing. I am thankful for his care!

Oh my goodness, this is the best service provider for dental care and most knowledgeable and kind I…read morehave had - and funny!!! He saved a tooth I was told would need a dental implant by 2 other dentists and a surgery of my palate to boot as not enough space for the post. Gads!!! But it is not just that - the whole office has a wonderful vibe - it feels good to be there - and they are so careful with us and themselves - they have the best air filter systems to take viruses out of the air. Due to his status with insurance companies and what he takes be sure to check with Kristen to see if you are covered. It is worth paying out of pocket if you can afford. I had to change insurance companies and my new one is not as good coverage - had to as no longer had Cobra and now retired and again - coverage not as good but want to stay with Dr. Smith. So being there is a treat comparatively - if you have to have something done - go here!!! Talk to Kristen - she is awesome.
