This place is so cute! My neighbor referred me, and when I drove up I honestly thought it was a restaurant. There was a live band playing and everyone was so nice. They even had kombucha and beer available while you wait, which was such an unexpected touch. Definitely not your typical dentist visit in the best way! They even had a gift for signing up for their membership which was well priced. read more

The Proper 32 - General Dentistry Near Me - Oceanside, California

I believe this is the first time I'm reviewing a dental office. The team and experience are both exceptional. From the front desk, to the x-ray, to the hygienist, then dentist. You can tell the team is truly happy and enjoy working together. The atmosphere is unassuming as it appears to be coffee shop / cafe! They have the latest technology and it shows in how clean my teeth are. Shoutout to the entire team - especially my hygienist who did a did a thorough job and transformed my teeth. Gifted me with a super cute mug! read more

I'm writing my second rave review for The Proper 32. Why? Because they just keep getting better--added technology, keeping abreast of advanced standards, the specifics I can't name, but can't help but notice. Everything needed is on the premises--you can have your crown made while you wait --no temporary, no second visit. Matt insists on your comfort. Just sit back and relax and have your filling AND a crown meticulously finished in one sitting! You'll be greeted with warm smiles the second you walk in. The staff are all-pro, friendly and care about you being a patient. The office is definitely not your average blah, dental office. The waiting area offers indoor or outdoor amenities, sunshine, fire-pit, and shuffle board, outside And friendly faces, tea, coffee and beer on the inside. If you're reading this, you are looking for a superb dental experience. What are you waiting for? And be sure to ask about their yearly membership options to consider. read more

I had the same Dentist here in Oceanside for the last 25 years and since he retired recently, He referred me to Dr McDonald's Proper 32 Practice and it has been an excellent experience.

Join their private Dental Care Program and save on the already Budget Friendly Family Pricing. I highly recommend his practice! read more

I visited Proper 32 following a tragic accident. The staff and Dr. McDonald were absolutely wonderful! They were empathetic to my situation and helped me navigate the next steps after they discovered that I had a broken jaw. Although they couldn't treat me, Dr. McDonald assisted with getting me referrals to surgeons. I cannot emphasize how genuinely kind and caring they are towards their patients! I plan to establish my dental care with Dr. McDonald once my jaw is unwired and will update my review after a dental cleaning. read more

First I'd like to start off by saying I don't usually write reviews for places but after visiting The Proper 32, it didn't feel right not leaving one. I had the absolute best experience here today. The customer service was excellent and the staff was so friendly! After expressing my concern about brown spots on my teeth, my hygienist assured me she would help me get them out. Not sure whatever magic machine she used but not only are the stains gone but my teeth literally feel and look 10 shades whiter! On top of all of this, the office is beautiful, with TVs on the ceiling, outdoor waiting areas, a coffee bar and more. Highly recommend this office for your next visit! read more

I was with Dr. mcDonald years ago, only switched due to insurance coverage. A few weeks ago a filling came out, my insurance dentist could not get me in for 6 weeks. Proper 32 got me in the next day. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Dr. McDonald is the best and does excellent work. I am now using their insurance and very happy to be with a competent dentist with timely care. They are the people once you try, you will come back to if you ever leave. The best. read more

Just had the best dental experience. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. They even have Kombucha on tap in waiting room. read more

El personal es super amable, la oficina es super instagrameable, cómoda y moderna. Definitivamente no es la clasica oficina de dentista, si eres de los que temen ir al consultorio, este es tu lugar. read more

We've been going to Dr. McDonald for our dental care for years, so we were eager to visit the Proper 32 team in Oceanside! The staff is friendly and caring and take pride in the work they do. I really appreciate how they are on the cutting edge of research when it comes to how they approach dental care and cleaning, but maintain an ambience and experience that is laid back and comfortable. read more

Best crew! Everyone from the reception desk, the hygienist and Dr. Macdonald have been so welcoming, helpful and pleasant. The advice and cleanings I've had from the hygienists Bonnie and Paula, have been comfortable, quick and painless. They took the time to help my understand what my X-rays say about my teeth. The advice they gave makes me feel more confident in how I can improve my oral health. I had a few cavities filled and Dr. Macdonald was quick, told me step by step what he was doing, literally felt no uncomfortableness and I was able to listen to watch Harry Potter while he performed the fillings! Of course, the coffee, beer and seltzers they have on tap are a huge plus too! read more

I used to dread the dentist and my teeth paid the price till I found Dr McDonald. I've seen him at all his practices and no matter the location it was always a pleasure. His new practice called The Proper Thirty Two is next level and this is like nothing you will find at any dentist office. Here is how it goes.... You walk in through the big roll up doors like something you see at a coffee shop or a hip new restaurant. You are greeted by friendly front desk staff or you may see Dr McDonald right there too if he not with a patient. They offer you a cold brew, kombucha or even a beer on tap. They sometimes have snacks too. If you are a bit early for your appointment you can hang out at the outdoor fire pit. When you get worked on there are tvs on the ceiling so I like to watch some surf videos. It's just an enjoyable experience. My teeth are on point now and I am really looking forward to my next visit for check ups and cleanings. read more

I've been going to Dr McDonald for years now. I'm very satisfied with his work. He has a Cerac machine to make crowns in a single visit, and I have a bunch. Bonnie, the dental hygienist, does a great job cleaning your teeth and you can tell she loves what she does. Their office is clean, hip, artfully designed, with state of the art equipment. You will love the ambiance! Everyone there is friendly and welcoming. They offer a private yearly dental plan that we participate in which works great for us. It's easy to find as you exit the 5 at Vista Way and head t PCH. They are on the corner of PCH and Vista Way, across from an amazing taco place. ;) read more

I came across The Proper Thirty Two at just the right time.. It had been a few years since I had a "home base" dental office and I was in need of somewhere I enjoyed and a Dr. I trusted. The Proper Thirty Two did not disappoint! Dr. McDonald is one of the most detailed and attentive dentists I've ever seen while also being laid back, approachable, and kind. His team consists of his wife as well as staff that followed him from his previous office. It's a great office environment with friendly staff that feel more like friends and family than anything else! Highly recommend The Proper Thirty Two! Oh, and you can pop in anytime to have a cold beer or kombucha on tap while listening to the live music they regularly have on their patio! -Rod read more

The staff is very friendly but they keep changing the hygienists and don't really know what I'm working on. Two different dentists gave me different prices for the San treatment. Dr Metcaf told me not to move so I don't get the material on the tissue in my mouth but when the hygienist sprayed it got on my tongue and burned or stung. Dr Metcaf didn't ask me what color I wanted and it came out much darker than I wanted, which was disappointing. The office had what looked like mold on the wall which doesn't foster a feeling of safety. In the middle of my treatment, Dr Metcaf left the room to do an exam on another patient, which I've never experienced in a dentist appointment and I didn't appreciate having to wait for him to see another patient in the middle of my appointment. I think he could tell I wasn't happy so he started filing down some other teeth that weren't on my treatment plan, which was shocking and unexpected because he didn't ask per read more

Our entire family needed to be brought up to date on dental care. They did a great job working to get us in quickly and went above and beyond to get pre-approval from our insurance to double check that all the work was covered. But, the best part is how relaxing and pleasant the atmosphere here is. This isn't your typical dentist. This is a place you actually look forward to visiting! read more

First of all, this is the best looking dental office you'll ever visit. I thought a new hip restaurant was going in right on coast highway and turns out, it's this super dope dental office called The Proper Thirty Two. Not only does it look amazing, like I want to hang here all the time, but it's state of the art. Complete with kombucha, cold brew AND beer on tap (yeah you read that right) this place has it all. Dr Matt and his wife Maggie are the coolest people. They take GREAT care of you with the latest and greatest tech, skills and professionalism...all while while watching tv on the ceilings. I cannot recommend this place more. If you're looking for a dentist, your search is over. read more

I just recently moved to Oceanside from Chicago and started seeing Dr. Smith at his old location in downtown Oceanside due to sudden issue with a crown. He fit me for the crown at his old office, but a couple of weeks later moved to the Proper 32 where he placed the crown and did an oral exam. Dr. Smith is awesome! He really takes his time to talk you through everything that is going on. I am confident that he is being honest with me and has my best interest in mind. I just came back for my first teeth cleaning here and Paula was my dental hygienist. She had a similar approach during my appointment and it was such a pleasure talking to her. I would 100% recommend them :) read more

I highly recommend The Proper 32- my whole family comes! Best- most relaxed experience in a modern clean office. Dr. McDonald and his team are welcoming and took great care of us! Maggie is a wonderful hygienist! I even had a new custom crown made the same day for my broken tooth - the whole visit was great - I'm so grateful! Everyone deserves great care like this. read more

Matt and his Wife and staff are friendly and Professional. Least discomfort EVER. Nice Office. Never a long wait. Who thought you could look forward to seeing your Dentist. Love You All read more

If you're looking for a down to earth and extremely cool dentist Dr. McDonald at Proper 32 is the place for you. Not only is the office state of the art with equipment but there is on tap beer and kombucha! Next level stuff. Truly great experience getting a cleaning as well as a filling fixed. I got the pleasure of getting my teeth cleaned by an awesome hygienist and I come to find out it's the doctor's wife (Maggie was awesome). They run a great practice and if you're looking for a new dentist this IS the place to go! The office and the staff were nothing short of amazing both times I was in! read more

We absolutely love this family friendly dental practice and could not be happier with our experience for the adults and toddlers in our family. They have the state of the art technology as well as incredibly kind and efficient hygienists and dentists. From the second we walked in here, we were very comfortable. Our toddler was nervous about his first dentist visit and EVERYONE made him feel comfortable. He hasn't stopped sharing how his first trip to the dentist went. So thankful to have such an amazing dentist in our neighborhood! read more

Great service and awesome hospitality!!! Good to find a dental clinic im comfortable to go to. Also, how dope is it that they serve brews on tap!! read more

When my dentist informed me he was retiring I was really sad. I loved my dentist. He told me I was in good hands because his dentist was taking over the office. I was less than thrilled with the change but when I met Dr. McDonald and his staff, my doubts diminished quickly. It didn't take long for Dr. McDonald to open the new office "proper thirty two." Love all the staff and the the atmosphere and look of the new place. You want a state of the art office with great staff and care, this is the dentist office to go to. I commute from Escondido to Oceanside and it is totally worth it! read more

I had an amazing experience today at The Proper 32! There was live music, complementary snacks and iced coffee, kumbucha and beer on tap! Everyone was so kind and welcoming! They are flipping the script on the traditional dental experience. I highly recommend! read more

I've never looked forward to dental visits until I started coming here. The staff are incredible and make you feel so comfortable, definitely different from your typical cold stark dentist office. The dental hygienists and Dr. McDonald are the best and don't dig around in your mouth like they're mining for gold, first place I've ever been to that didn't cause significant pain. Absolutely love it! read more

It is not often one would say they enjoy going to the dentist, but Dr Matt McDonald and the staff at the Proper Thirty two are the exception. I have had horrible issues with my teeth since I was born. When I was 14, I had a quack of a dentist tell my mother I needed to have all of my teeth pulled. I have been to over a dozen dentist throughout the years and throughout my travels. I finally found the right one! I first came to Dr. McDonald 6 years ago to fix a broken crown that a lesser dentist had installed. I have since been back many times to fix all of my teeth issues. I can happily say that now I only need to go back for standard cleanings and check ups. This is a far cry from having all of my teeth extracted. Dr. McDonald is actually in the process of implanting two teeth that were extracted many years back. I am no longer embarrassed of my smile, my health is better, and I am not afraid to eat anything. The staff at the Proper Thirty Two are more like friends and the new office is amazing. The only negative is that I rarely get to enjoy the new office because everyone at the Proper Thirty Two is so efficient and considerate of your time that I never have to wait 2 minutes to be seen. Oh, and everything is done in the office, including crowns and implants. I have never had the pleasure to recommend a dentist before, but as I said before The Proper Thirty Two is the exception! read more
