This is the first time I have been to Dr. Mowry's, and I can tell you from start to finish how welcoming and pleasant the staff where from beginning to end. Dr. Mowry sat with me and discussed the entire procedure and was kind enough to sit and listen with his full attention on my every word. The staff were extremely caring and took the time to explain the post operative preventive measures to take to ensure that I healed properly. I am never too nervous about getting dental work done, but everyone worked as a team as if I was part of a family. I am deeply appreciative of the work they have done, and I would highly recommend this team as a trusted and noteworthy representation of Dentistry/Oral Surgeon and General Dentistry. If you are ever in need of professional and reliable service such as this, from me they come extremely and highly recommended. Thank you again Dr. Mowry and Team. Jack Patague read more

Thank you Dr. Mowry & staff . Had all four wisdom teeth removed & recovery has been good . Decided to be put to sleep ( best choice ) don't remember much felt like 10 minutes & staff called me same day to make sure everything was fine . I did feel pressure following day two & three but doctor mentioned that would happen . Follow guidelines after surgery & take pain killers to ease pain. It's week three & holes are closing up , while keeping them clean . Thank you , thank you Dr. Mowry ! read more

I just had a very recent experience with Dr. Richard Mowry and staff. The office is clean and the staff friendly and amicable. I first met Dr. Mowry in 2007, he pulled my 1st molar then and by Divine intervention I found him again after 16 years in this year of Dec. 2023 was the date Dr. Mowry pulled my 2nd molar. I knew I was going to be in good hands 100% because of my 1st experience and that's what happened no pain and done in no time. I highly recommend Dr. Richard Mowry 100%. read more

Can't say enough about Dr Mowry and his wonderful staff. Dr Mowry talks you thru everything right up front and puts you at ease (even a big chicken like me) so there are no surprises. He makes sure you are numbed up for the procedure. Very professional. His staff are friendly, informative and involved from the beginning. If you need dental surgery Dr Mowry is the way to go! read more

Dr. Mowry and his staff not only care about doing precision dental work but also care about their patients. My cyst removal surgery was diligently explained both before and during procedures that was easy to understand and made me feel confident. This practice deserves an A+ on all levels! read more

Got 4 all taken out once end of Apr this year. Surgery took just a little over an hour. Compared to a lot young kids got them removed at 18, I am a bit older to have them removed so my recovery was perhaps a week or two, doesn't really affect eating at that point. It was not hard to get the surgery appointment. Wasn't a long wait. I experienced no pain at all. I used general anesthesia. Didn't know when I got knocked out and woke up and it's done. I didn't even need any pain killer after. It's weird.. like no pain at all. At first I was waiting for the pain so I can take the strong pain killer but waited and waited... mmm didn't feel anything at all.. Doc has good skills? Lol My lips felt numb for about 18 hrs. Started to feel something back after midnight same day. The office will call you a few hours after the surgery to make sure you are doing okay. A check up was provided after two weeks of the surgery to make sure healing okay. I personally bled a little longer than I thought. They recommended using tea bag which is cool. The tea leaves took away the not so good taste of your own blood.. recommend get a big bag of that prior to surgery.. read more

Got two of my wisdom teeth removed with local anesthetic. The staff was kind and helpful in explaining aftercare. Maria was an excellent dental assistant. Dr. Mowry was quick and efficient in removing my teeth. I will be back sometime to remove my other two teeth. read more

So far it's good. I had an implant started. Will wait till it's over to review again.

I was referred to Dr. Mowry for wisdom tooth extraction. From the first phone call the office staff was so courteous. when I arrived my chart was waiting. I only waited a few mins. Dr. Mowry was very kind and so was his staff. He was very gentle and before I knew it, the extraction was done! They provided detailed after care instructions. That evening a staff member called to see how I was feeling!!! I really appreciated that. I would highly recommend Dr. Richard Mowry for any type of dental surgery. It's very apparent he is very experienced and highly professional!!!! Thank you so much Dr. Mowry and awesome staff!!! read more

Wisdom tooth extraction was basically painless! Ive never left a dental clinic so happy until I went to Dr Mowry.I am 40+ and have always been scared of wisdom tooth extraction.I highly recommend Dr Mowry- he is very professional,thorough in explaining the procedure. His staff were very friendly too and check in process was seamless. read more

Went in for a consultation for a reveal/bond procedure for may daughter. The receptionist were courteous and professional. I had no negative experiences with any of them. His technicians were also very personable, courteous, and professional with my daughter and myself. Dr. Mowry was also very pleasant to talk to. The whole experience at this office was pleasant. Even though myself and my daughter arrived a little late everyone treated us well. I definitely look forward to coming back for my daughter's procedure. read more

I have never had to have any type of surgery so I was extremely nervous when I found out I needed to remove at least two of my wisdom teeth (and eventually all 4). Dr. Mowry and his staff were so helpful and comforting. They answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease leading up to the procedure. Though I felt better about it, I knew I would never want to go through this again so I opted to go ahead and remove all 4 teeth. I am so happy I made that decision. It has been about 3 weeks since my surgery and I am healing as expected with no complications. Though I no longer have any pain, the healing process is longer than I anticipated (but just as long as the Dr. said it would be). I could not be happier with my experience with Dr. Mowry and all of the staff. Everyone was so professional and helped every time I called with any question throughout my healing process. Thank you :-) read more

I needed emergency tooth extraction. The entire office was great. Everyone was kind and gentle. Dr. Mowery was exceptional. I felt no pain during the entire process. I recommend Dr. Mowry and his team. read more

Had a sensitive case for 3rd molar extraction however, Dr. Mowry confidently managed it just like that with local anesthesia (as my choice) because im allergic to a lot of meds. Im comfortable as he goes. He is very thorough explaining everything up to the moment of the procedure to the end. Staff and assistants are very friendly and polite. I definitely recommend Dr. Mowry for oral surgery read more

I got my wisdom teeth taken out by Dr. Mowry. He did a fine job taking my wisdom teeth out but i wasn't a big fan of him as a person. I found him to be rude and almost cancelled my appointment because of the way he spoke to me during my consultation. My surgery was fine but I would probably opt for someone else if I had to have another surgery. read more

The service and procedure for everything was​​​ exceptional. My dentist referred me to Dr. Mowry because I needed to get my wisdom teeth taken out. From my first visit there, I felt cared for and so connected to the staff. Everyone was kind and welcoming. I appreciated getting the appointment​ reminders. Dr. Mowry is great and brilliant. He explained the whole procedure and was very thorough when answering any question I had. Even before the procedure, one of his assistants saw that I was nervous and told me that it was a very common procedure​ and that people tend to overthink it, but reassured me that I would be fine and it made me feel so much better. After the procedure, I was still a bit loopy and the assistant was asking me questions and made me laugh to help me feel better and even helped me to my car. Everything went extremely well. I did not experience any pain or swelling. The healing time was quick and when I went to my 2-week checkup, everything was still great and going fine. I had a great experience and I would honestly recommend Dr. Mowry to anyone that needs his services. read more

Recently my 8 year old son needed to have a tooth extracted (he had an extra tooth growing behind his permanent front teeth) that hadn't erupted yet. Needless to say I was nervous about the procedure since it would be his first time having general anesthesia. Dr. Mowry, and staff were excellent. My son healed in no time and was back to normal in 2-3wks. So happy everything went smoothly. read more

This review is regarding Dr. Mowry and his staff via consultation visit. Office staff were well accomadating with my needs at the doctor's office. I had to fill out a lot of paper work and they all answered my questions that I had concerns regarding about a wisdom tooth. At Dr. Mowry's office, they make sure the patient is well-educated about their needs such as having a nurse explaining my wisdom teeth and machines that they used, and they showed me a 90's video of more info about the teeth. Dr. Mowry is a very gentle and soft spoken guy. I wasn't expecting anything much from him at first, but he was very informative, and he gave me a lot of options to think about. My only two criticisms were I wished the doctor's staff told me that my insurance was out-of-network. They only told me that they accepted in over the phone, and by the end of the visit, they told me I had to pay certain fees because I was out-of-network. Also, parking can be tight, and office is a little hidden. read more

Took my 85 year old mother to Dr Mowry to have a tooth extracted. My mom has a severe aversion to dentists and having to come to have a tooth pulled was nerve-racking. Dr Mowry was very kind and patient and made sure to calm her nerves by explaining the procedure and assure her she would be well cared for. The procedure was rather quick and a nurse called later that day to check on her. I would recommend Dr Mowry if you need a tooth extracted. Thank for your taking care of my mother. read more

This office is great! It was very easy to find from their map on the back of their refferal form. When I walked in the door the staff immediately greeted me and made me feel welcome. I filled out my paper work and was brough back about 5 mins later. Mareo was very friendly. Dr. Mowry was also very helpful wit my case. Hank you for a great experience! read more

Richard Mowry - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

See all

I had two of my wisdom teeth extracted today. Dr Mowry and his staff was very kind and caring. They made me feel comfortable.

I was referred to Dr. Mowry by my dentist. The office staff and assistants were all amazing and friendly. A good portion of my friends that got their wisdom teeth extracted from somebody else told me how their jaws clicked whenever they opened their mouths wide after their surgery. Everything for me went perfect! I was told I would be numb for a day or two which I was. But after that everything felt fine. read more

I was referred to Dr. Mowry by my dentist due to how bad my bottom wisdom tooth was impacted. Office staff and dental assistants were all amazing and friendly (I was freaking out about the surgery) Dr. Mowry very nice and patient (I am very neurotic so I had TONS of questions) so I felt comfortable and booked the surgery. Day of surgery (i seriously thought I was going to have a heart attack, DONT EVER GOOGLE how the surgery is done right before your appointment) everyone was so sweet and calming, I didn't go under since my insurance didn't cover it but they had this AMAZING IV drug that knocked me out and I didn't feel a thing, I woke up thinking the surgery was like 10 mins but it was almost 2 hours, once I was home day of surgery they called to check up on me 5-6 hours later. I am sad that I have to go back to my other dentist, they are all so nice that I would love to go back (but not for major surgeries) just for your regular maintenance :) Thank you all for being patient with me and for all your help! read more

I am generally terrified of going to the dentist. I avoid it at all costs, But recently I had 2 teeth that were cracked and needed pulling. I selected Dr. Mowry from a list of dentists on my insurance preferred network and because I went online and found that he had 49 - 5 star reviews! See them Here https://doctorbase.com/blog/mowry That gave me a bit of hope. Yesterday I arrived in his office shaking like a leaf, my hands were trembling like I was going to the guillotine. But, his staff was fun and friendly and got me laughing which calmed me down a little. He came in and was kind and calm and very throughly reviewed my medical history with me and asked me specific questions about things that might effect my treatment, and that made me feel safe. He explained to me what he was going to do to me before he did it. His staff let me know the exact cost out of pocket before they treated me. I needed two teeth pulled and I asked if I wanted to stop after 1 if I could, and they said yes. But, I didn't need to stop because the first tooth was out in a flash and when he asked me if we could go on to the second tooth, I agreed because it was much less painful and traumatic - and much faster and easier than I anticipated! I did everything they prescribed when I got home, antibiotics for infection, Ibuprofen and ice packs for swelling, kept wet tea bags on the open wound to manage the bleeding, and today, the day after, I woke up expecting to be in horrid pain after everything wore off, and I'm...NOT in pain. It's slightly tender to the touch, my face is a little puffy, but not the horrors i imagined. A very good dental experience. read more

I recently had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Mowry (11/10/2015) and the experience I had here was amazing. Firstly, the office is not hard to find at all, right behind the 24 Hour Fitness Center, and there is plenty of parking even during lunch time. The consultation was easy to schedule and the appointment itself went very smoothly. The staff was extremely welcoming and answered all the questions my family had concerning the wisdom tooth removal procedure. Dr. Mowry himself also answered any additional questions we had. They were sure to give very clear instructions as what to do the day before the surgery, surgery day, and post surgery. The surgery itself went great. The staff and Dr. Mowry made sure I was comfortable before beginning the procedure. I don't remember a thing about the surgery itself (as I'd like) and the staff made sure that I was well enough to leave the facility and even helped me to the car afterwards. I knew exactly what to expect concerning pain as him and the staff told me the day of my consultation, so there was no surprises in that sense. Post-operation, the office was kind enough to call my home to ask how I was feeling and asked if I had any additional questions or concerns. This made me feel extremely well-taken care of and made me rest easy as all my questions were answered. Finally, today (11/23/2015) was my post-op check-up where the doctor checked the holes and instructed after care. He made sure to answer any questions or concerns if I had any, but at this point, since they've been great about answering my questions before, I had none. I highly recommend Dr. Mowry and his office! read more

Dr. Mowry and his staff are very knowledgeable and do their best to make you feel comfortable. I went in on Monday to take the rest of my wisdom teeth out. It is now Thursday and I have not experienced any pain at all! I followed their after care instructions to ice my face to minimize swelling. Because of that, I don't have an extreme chipmunk face. I highly recommend Dr. Mowry for any oral surgery. They know what they're doing :) read more

Went in for just a consultation and the front staff as well as doctor Mowry are very rude and had poor beside manners. I felt uncomfortable the whole appointment and the assistants in the front only added to my anxiety because of their mannerisms. Definitely not recommending anyone to go here especially not myself. Work on making future patients more comfortable and overall more professional with the communication with patients. Very disappointed to say the least. read more

Excellent treatment. Dr. Mowry actually takes time to interact with the patient and not just with his assistants, unlike other dentists that I have experienced. Before I even knew it, my extraction was completed! There was only minimal bleeding but often depends on the person. His dental assistants were also very good and they even call afterwards to check up on you. I have only experienced one truly good dentist on this side of the border, but with Dr. Mowry that now makes two outstanding professionals. PS: he's also a PPO dentist. read more

I had received a referal from my Dentist about a jaw operation procedure to remove a embedded lower left crown. It took me two weeks to get in to see him and I was hesitant because I had to fill out the confidentiality forms. And I was just up to my own jaw problem of it might get worse on me . So I was counsel and I did not even want to have his staff redo an X-ray of 7 years ago. The Staff showed me a short film on the different problems a person could have due to the procedures and I took it with a grain of salt. Afterwards Dr. Mowry came in and explained that what he sees on the old X-ray that their was some complications and he advise that I go ahead an re do the X-ray. I did w/ consent and be hold the cavity of the tooth has gotten worse and he advised me to let my insurance take care of it as soon as I make the decision on removing it. I did appreciate he directness and the problems that I would face but I like the directness and Dr Mowry made me feel I was a very important client and care as I did on my health. He gave me a copy of the X-rays to share w/my Dr. as well. And the visit was worth two weeks to get in. Also his staff are very customer service and very pleasent. I do recommend that if you need any Maxillofacial surgery done. He would be the Dentist to do the procedure and or direct you to what good based on you Dental and Medical Ins. -Best A happy Cliet read more

Three family members have used Dr.Mowry ! Both consultation and procedure day were met with the utmost professionalism. His office staff is experienced and caring, while maintaining a high level of professionalism. Also, I required an extraction and received wonderful care. Follow up visits are easy to make and ample time is spent insuring a complete understanding of everything. I have recommended this doctor to friends, who have experienced the same level of service. The pricing is competitive, scheduling is convenient and the entire experience one that put all of us at ease. I will continue to use and recommend this remarkable doctor for all future work needed! read more

Richard Mowry - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Very nice and comforting people. Got all my wisdom teeth out and everything went smoothly!

My children had braces but the orthodontist was far from Chula Vista. A family friend recommended Dr. Mowry's office to us and our experience has been marvelous! The staff here is so friendly and helpful but what I liked most about them was the time they take to explain the process. Dr. Mowry has many years of experience and the recovery time for my children has exceeded my expectations (very short recovery). Thank you Dr. Mowry and staff for taking customer service to another level! read more

I had oral surgery on 06/26/15 and needless to say i was nervous, which is normal but Dr. Mowry assistant put my mind at ease. Dr. Mowry has a superb staff and Donna is the bomb.

Dr. Mowry explained every detail from drilling to rinsing and i was impressed by that...to make a long story short after the numbing injection i know he was working on my tooth but the next thing I knew he was stitching my gum...i asked if he was done and he replied yes and of course i didn't beleive him so i asked to see the tooth )=.

Richard Mowry - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Dr. Mowry and his staff are terrific. They make the process of having oral surgery and everything it entails (insurance, after care, etc) less stressful. They were professional and polite to our family and took the time to carefully explain the process, the billing and insurance. Dr. Mowry did a great job with my son's extraction and oral surgery. He had minimal discomfort and a relatively quick healing period. Thank you Dr. Mowry & staff! read more

Professional staff, excellent communication by the front desk staff , to insurance billing and all the way through to the DR, who is GREAT, my oldest had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. She healed quickly. And Dr Mowry knew what he was doing. It's great to find an office that not only has a great Dr but has a staff that knows what they are doing too. He was the 3rd oral surgeon we went to. The other offices had OK Drs but their staff dropped the ball in contacting insurance companies or calling me back.. I totally recommend this office. read more

Awesome Dr. and staff! I had 2 impacted wisdom teeth removed at Dr. Mowry's office. As dental assistant myself I was terrified, the staff and Dr. made me feel super comfortable. My surgery went super smooth no issues or complications at all. After almost 4 weeks I was completely healed. My experience was great no major pain or bruising. Thanks you Dr. Mowry and staff for the amazing experience and treatment! I definitely recommend this office to anyone he's talented and knowledgeable! read more

Dr. Mowry and his staff are excellent and exceptional! I was referred to them by my dentist and same day, they took me in and extracted a painful and infected wisdom tooth that brought me to tears. I have always been afraid of dental procedures but there was no pain and the tooth was removed in 5 minutes or thereabout. They are awesome and I am very very grateful for their kindness and compassionate care. read more

I had my first tooth extraction as an adult last Friday. Dr. Mowry and his whole staff were wonderful. They practiced safe social distancing, explained everything that was going to happen, and treated me with humor and respect. Of course, I wondered how painful the procedure would be, but really, I've had teeth cleaning that was more uncomfortable. read more

I got my wisdom teeth removed he was great and professional no problems what so ever. The staff could be alot friendlier and professional. And the appointments could be more on time. My appointment was at 10 and i waited a whole hour just for a quick 5 minute checkup my time is crucial and that was a complete waste of it. My surgery went great though but i wouldn't recommend anyone i know to go here you could find a less costly more welcoming professional environment elsewhere. read more

Incredibly nice and professional dentistry team. Got my wisdom teeth removed and felt comfortable all the way through. Highly recommend.
