I came here for a few years. We were fine and everything was great. Last year, we had a routine annual check up and was charged $200! If we went elsewhere it would have been covered. Also had 3 cavities fixed and paid $350 in office and got another bill for $300!!! We are so upset and talked to them about it. They did not seem to care. We won't be back since there appears to be hidden fees or bad miscalculations on their billing department. If you go here, be careful you may get another bill sent home. They'll text you owe money first and ask you to pay through the link. This is not the type of dental practice I like to go to. I suggest you don't either. I'm looking for a dentist that will give me great dental advice and care, while being transparent about their prices. read more

their quality of care and friendliness are not surpassed by any Dentist I've ever been to. It's almost a pleasure to go to the dentist.

This is by far the most untrustworthy and unethical dental office I've ever encountered, and I truly regret ever stepping foot into Sinclair Smiles. What happened during our visit wasn't just a misunderstanding--it was a clear case of deception that borders on fraudulent billing and potential insurance abuse. Before any services were performed, I explicitly stated that my husband and I did not consent to any procedure or imaging that would result in an out-of-pocket cost. My husband and I were verbally assured in each of our appointments, by your staff that the photographs being taken were not covered by insurance but were done "as a courtesy" by your office and would not result in a charge. Now we are receiving a bill for those services--services we were told would be free. This isn't just unethical; it could constitute billing fraud and violations of informed consent laws. If this charge is not immediately removed, I will be forced to explore formal complaints with the California Dental Board, insurance fraud investigators, and potentially pursue legal action for deceptive practices. You will not receive a dime from us, and I expect an immediate phone call from the owner of this practice to resolve this matter before it escalates further. read more

Dr Sinclair is kind, patient, thoughtful and provides more state of the art care than my last dentist was able to provide. Her staff are so friendly and adept. It is a pleasure visiting this office. read more

Great dentist and team! I've had several crowns done there and had an exceptional experience every time! I have the standard anxiety around dental procures just like most people, but Dr. Sinclair and her team were great! She explains things in "layman's" terms, has a gentle touch and great beside manner. Her assistant was hilarious and fun! The hygienists are incredibly thorough and gentle and the front desk team is personable and kind. If you're seeking a new dentist, then I highly recommend Sinclair Smiles ! read more

I've never heard so many patients laughing in a dental office! I wondered if I was in a comedy club for a minute. super office to visit

Beware. They told me I was in network as far as insurance was to cover my dental work and it turned out that I was not and they charged me for it. Straight up lied. Never going back again. Only giving one star because it's a default. read more

A crown fell out over the weekend and first thing Monday I called Amy at Sinclair Smiled. She was able to get me in ASAP, working around my schedule. Went this afternoon and every chair seemed to be taken. As busy as they were Dr Sinclair had me out within 45 minutes. If you're looking for a top notch dentist I strongly recommend Dr Sinclair and Sinclair Smiles read more

I came to this location previous to its transition to Dr. Sinclair because of the great Yelp reviews. I willingly pay a little more to have them work on my teeth in comparison to other dentists in my network. Actually, only a bit more and it's worth it. I have always had a great experience and I am so happy to say that the torch has been passed responsibly. In fact, I think he made sure to pass on the legacy! From the friendly and attentive front desk to the hygienists, assistants, and Dr. Sinclair herself, they are truly awesome. I literally look forward to visiting them because I always walk out with a better smile on my face. They consistently make you feel welcome, absolutely no judgment, chat if you like that, they answer all my inquisitive questions, have a great sense of humor, excellent up-to-date technology, and make sure you are comfortable... the list goes on. This business has completely turned around my expectations on what a dentist visit should be like. I'm serious when I say I actually look forward to going there. Who knew that could be a thing? read more

I came to this location for dentistry prior to its transition to Dr. Sinclair and have very happily stayed! I have been going there for several years now and would NOT consider going elsewhere.

I endorse Dr Sinclair for those looking for high quality dental care. read more

Dr. Sinclair is awesome! She's very easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable throughout your entire visit. Nearly 2 years had gone by without a cleaning, do I was feeling a little self-conscious going into my appointment, preparing for all the worst case scenarios. All of that anxiety disappeared after chatting with Dr. Sinclair for a few minutes. The check-in process and X-rays went quickly, and we moved from the exam into the cleaning right away. I'm grateful that the team was respectful of my time, getting me in and out quickly and efficiently while still providing great service! Thank you all! See you in 6 months! read more

Dr. Sinclair and her staff have been amazing to work with! In addition to being pleasant and personable, I've also found the team to be very knowledgeable, detailed and thorough in their work. I had some crowns from a previous dentist out of state that we're not done properly and Dr. Sinclair redid them and showed me before/after photos that were undeniably better. I also went through Invisalign with them and am so happy with the results. They were personally invested in my results as well, spending extra time to make everything perfect and did not nickel and dime me. This is the best dentist office! P.S. some businesses offer rewards or some type of compensation for reviews - these guys simply asked after I gave them the feedback directly and I happily agreed. read more

I've put off going to the dentist for two years due to anxiety but decided it was time. I went to a Dentist I received a flyer for in the mail and was quoted to need 13 filling and needed to pay major $$$. I told my Dad and he suggested a 2nd opinion from Dr. Sinclair in Encinitas. I made my appointment with ease as the admin staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Sinclair had already reviewed my x-rays from the previous dentist and took the time to show me on the screen which teeth needed fillings and explained why others didn't. My filling count went from 13 to 8, which was a HUGE relief. Dr. Sinclair did an amazing job cleaning my teeth that day along with answering all my questions. I have since been back twice to complete the series of fillings and haven't had anxiety in the slightest because Dr. Sinclair is so gentle. Sinclair Smiles is a clean, bright and modern office with very comfortable exam chairs. I'm so grateful to have found a Doctor that I can trust and feel so comfortable with. I highly recommend Sinclair Smiles! read more

Just told them about my horribly dirty teeth and that they have their work cut out for them. They didn't even flinch and scheduled me for my appointment and assured me that my insurance would be enough. I can't believe they'd have the stomach to work on these teeth for just a simple insurance claim. If I was the Dr., I'd be asking for collateral up front. Great dentist, she reminds me of a Navy dentist that pulled my wisdom teeth in the Marines in the 90's. Maybe that's why they're not squeamish over my trash can of a mouth now? I highly recommend this office. If they can work on my train wreck of a mouth, they will do wonders for yours. read more

I've been a patient at this particular office for about 12 years. I started with the previous dentist, Dr. Isabel David and I adored her. I loved the very personal attention I got for the small office. When Dr. Sinclair took over, I was a bit hesitant. I honestly don't love the whole teeth cleaning process (it's gotten more uncomfortable as I've gotten older), but I am so happy to say that Dr. Sinclair is incredibly gentle and concerned with my comfort level. She has the sweetest smile and makes me feel at ease and well taken care of. She is carefully watching the issues I have in my mouth so I don't have to worry! She knows i love my coffee, tea and wine and she always cleans up my stains so I can keep my smile look g great! I also like her office manager, Aimee. She knows me and is very sweet too. With the previous dentist she had so many new office managers over the years, I never felt like I got to know any of them. If you're looking for a small dentist office with great personal attention, this is the place. I live 30 mins away and it's worth the drive! read more

Dr. Sinclair has been exactly what I need in a dentist. For the past couple of years, I had an issue with headaches, earaches, and tension in my jaw. I saw an ENT specialist with no luck. Come to find out I've been grinding my teeth at night and clenching my jaw. I had no idea it would cause ear aches and headaches! She was able to help me by ordering a night guard to stop the clenching. It's been incredible to feel what a difference it has made in my jaw. No more headaches, my ears don't hurt, and my jaw doesn't hurt when I get up in the morning now. She is not only an amazing dentist for all my other needs, but for helping to diagnose something that my regular physician couldn't! read more

Such a great experience! Dr. Sinclair, is incredibly detailed and knowledgeable about the art of dentistry and how to enhance the systemic relationship between oral and general health. I can't say enough about Dr. Sinclair and her staff, 10 stars! read more

The new thing I LOVE is the NuCalm technology they offer to any patient while sitting in the chair.  It is neuroscience technology that calms you and relaxes you while in the chair (you put on a light-blocking eye mask, a little disc is taped to your wrist, and headphones) and it moves you into a deep-relaxed state.  It is the closest you can get to feeling like you are having a day at the spa when you go to the dentist!    Dr. Sinclair and her staff are always kind, helpful and professional.  I actually enjoy going to the dentist!  Dr. Sinclair takes the time to explain procedures and treatments which help to make informed decisions. read more

I love Dr. Sinclair and her staff!! They are the best. Went in a few months ago for a crown and had some anxiety. Dr. Sinclair put me at ease and I didn't feel any pain at all!! I highly recommend her. read more

Where do I start.... I have not seen a dentist since 2006 and am hesitant with dentists because of a bad experience when I was a kid. I found Dr Sinclair off my benefit website and she is super close to where I live. I need a lot of work done and Dr Sinclair created a treatment plan to do little by little which helps my pocketbook. Also, yesterday she filled a couple teeth and pulled another and I have to say I didn't feel any pain during or even after. There was obvious pressure which they told me about already. The office was thorough and explained everything with me and made me feel so comfortable. I love Dr Sinclair and her staff! Thank you for being so awesome!! read more

professional, thorough and courteous care provided by staff and especially from Dr. Sinclair; I recommend her highly.

They're amazing! Dr Sinclair went through all of my questions and concerns.. I got a lot of attention. She is great and the secretary and auxiliar as well. I loved my first experience! read more

Very professional and friendly staff. I drove all the way from Temecula to come here and it was well worth the trip!

Nothing is more difficult then finding a dentist that you feel comfortable with, trust and know that they have your best interest at heart. From the moment I arrived at her office, I felt welcome. Dr.Sinclair was so gentle. very thorough, explained in detail the treatment she recommended and why it was needed. I highly recommend Dr. SInclair if you are looking for a dentist. read more

Dr. Sinclair and her team are amazing across the board. The office has an updated and modern feel, and you are immediately greeted by one of the members of the team. They run on time because they schedule plenty of time for Dr. Sinclair to personally go over every aspect of your oral health and treatment plan. Dr. Sinclair is super friendly and she makes you feel very comfortable sitting in a dental chair. You can tell that she is driven by excellent patient care, and quality treatment above all else...which is what you need in your dentist, but is so often hard to find. Her team smiles a lot and they work so well together, plus my little 2 year old loved the small beverage fridge in the waiting area. Thank you Sinclair Smiles! read more
