I was in search for a new dentist and came across Central Coast Dental Care. Decided on this…read moreoffice, in part due to my insurance coverage but also because of the good Yelp rating. Scheduling was pretty easy. I was able to schedule a new patient exam appointment online within a week timeframe. Once booked you receive a confirmation via email, and will most likely receive a confirmation call the day before as well. The dental office is located in a small plaza with plenty of lot parking spaces. I was welcomed with a friendly greeting and given a few new patient forms to be filled out. The entire office is friendly and knowledgeable. Appreciated the communication from everyone - front desk receptionists, the X-ray tech, Dr. Sharma, and the dental hygienist. Yup - I lucked out! They happened to have an opening for a cleaning so I was able to get both my exam and cleaning performed on the same day. Glad to have found a great, new dental office!

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this dental office…read more I originally went in for a routine checkup and cleaning and was told that my teeth looked good, but that one of my crowns would eventually need to be replaced. Because I am a teacher and school was about to start, I decided to have the crown replaced during my vacation rather than risk having a problem later. Unfortunately, what should have been a straightforward procedure turned into weeks of pain and multiple visits. After the crown was placed, I was in significant pain, was biting the inside of my cheek, and noticed that the crown did not seem properly aligned with my other teeth. I returned to the office and had an X-ray. I was reassured that everything looked fine and was told that the problem was inflammation from my bite and that I needed to be patient and wait approximately 10 days for it to improve. I followed that advice and waited 12 days despite continuing to have considerable pain. When I finally returned because I could no longer tolerate it, I was then told that I had an infection and needed a root canal. What was particularly upsetting was being told that I should not have waited so long to come back, when I had specifically been instructed to wait. I have now had to deal with significant pain, repeated dental appointments, a root canal, and a great deal of stress over a crown that I elected to replace before it became an emergency. I understand that complications can happen with any dental procedure. What I find unacceptable is receiving conflicting information and then being criticized for following the instructions I was given. This experience has seriously affected my trust in this office. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this practice.

I personally did not want silver caps on my sons two front teeth because school pictures we're coming up and he was also soon going into grade school and I did not want him to deal with the scrutiny that comes from mean children because of his teeth and how they looked. I opted to pay cash OOP for the white caps as my insurance did not cover white and only silver. $700! I opted a three payment plan situation and by the time of his appointment had paid two of the three. After the procedure was done I found that not only were the caps BRIGHT WHITE in comparison to his other teeth but ALSO the left was LONGER than the right side. Absolutely unhappy I contacted the office to set up a follow up appointment letting them know I was u happy. Long story short, dr. Morris informed me that they did the best they could and unfortunately were unable to do ANYTHING about the extreme discoloration and uneven length of my sons teeth. And in fact even told me that although I thought the job had been terribly done, he thought he did exceptionally well!! Great to know even though I WAS THE ONE paying for it and not himself. I left extremely pissed off and informed their billing department I will NOT be paying the final installment of our payment plan! It seems like to dr.morris if you have denti-cal (even though I was paying cash OOP for the white caps) he treats you as if you are just number and being a dentist in salinas ca for low-income families you see hundreds of patients a day, everyone is the same and quality is sub-par. I have never been more upset with dental work in my life and am extremely embarrassed for my four year old son. Even family and friends have commented on his teeth and see what a huge un-natural difference it is. DEFINITELY not worth the $700 they required me to pay for it!!
