Dr. Yuri was highly recommended by a former employee of our family's restaurant, Samantha A - we call her Sam aka Moana. Glad she did because Dr. Yuri and her assistants are amazing!! You can feel their care and compassion for their patients. I made an urgent appointment for my elderly mom, who's over 80 years old. My mom had toothaches and when I spoke to the receptionist, Jessica - she took note of the urgent visit request and was able to schedule a consultation the following day. Hallelujah! Dr. Yuri was able to get us in a few days later after the consultation to remove a few of mom's infected teeth. My mom was the most CALM she's ever been at the dentist. She even gave 2 THUMBS UP after the infected tooth was removed. The whole procedure was painless and Dr. YURI performed a spectacular job from numbing to pulling the tooth out and making sure my mom was comfortable the entire time. Thank YOU Dr. YURI AND Team! You really live up to your superior ratings and reviews! read more

Yuri Kaneda, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Chula Vista, California

See all

A lovely dentist office. I would highly recommend. Before this I was going to another dentist. I was suspicious the other dentist was coming up with imaginary cavities and dental work. I just felt like they weren't being honest. So I went to Dr Yuri for a second opinion. Sure enough, the 3 cavities and crown I supposedly needed vanished, and I really had a healthy set of teeth all along. I didn't need anything done except a cleaning. Thank God for honest dentists like Dr Yuri! She is the best! read more

I'm one of those people who are afraid to go to the dentist, so it had been over a decade since I went. I recently saw multiple recommendations for Yuri Kaneda on the Nextdoor App. People described her as caring and trustworthy (doesn't perform unnecessary work). I also checked Yelp and saw that she has 5 star ratings. The office is literally 5 minutes away from my residence, which is also a plus for me. The staff is wonderful (Kristin was the dental hygienist who was personable and kind) and Dr. Kaneda has an outgoing, friendly personality, which really put me at ease. I never had a dentist that I felt comfortable with until now. Also, A+ for cleanliness of the facility and for maintaining covid safety protocols to keep customers and staff safe! read more

I have had such a pleasant experience at Dr. Yuri's office. I have anxiety and loathe going to the dentist and this office has completely changed my perception of that. All of my procedures have been in a calm and relaxed environment and Dr. Yuri is hilarious. I'm very happy that I found this location. read more

Went here for the first time recently after seeing their yelp rating and They lived up to their 5 star rating. Yuri & her staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! They all make you feel at home. I would definitely recommend Yuri Kaneda. Doug T read more

Dr. Kaneda has been my dentist for very long time. Today I was reminded why. She is absolutely the best dentist I've had in my 68 years. As a bonus, you cannot leave her office without a smile on your face. She and her staff really care and are amazing, happy people. read more

First impressions: Dr Yuri was very engaged and mindful of me and my dental problems. She actually read the form I filled out and elaborated on my notes. She asked good questions and had great insight that other doctors missed in the past. Lots of happy staff, clean facility, and warm atmosphere. Most dental offices are a bit drab and have an ominous tension. Yuri and her team had a nice buzz and hum even at 8am. There were probably 8 people in the office for one doctor which says good things about the operation: they have a lot of clients, and the staff is well taken care of. Not to put anyone on blast, but it seemed like the technicians and dental assistants were not fresh grads, meaning they have been there a while and/or Dr Yuri pays enough for families to actually make enough to live in SD. I haven't gotten any work done yet, but I still had a pleasant and productive time at my appointment. I was referred to an oral surgeon and will update how it goes when the drills start whirring. I know, my teeth suck. Last notes: Dr Yuri arrived to the office before open, unlike other offices I've been to. She is super funny and easy to talk with. And she does not have an accent which threw me for a loop since most Asian dentists do (not that there's anything bad about that, it was just surprising for me). read more

I worked as a hygienist for Dr. Yuri about 10 years ago, I can honestly tell you she is by far one of the best dentist in Bonita area. She is a perfectionist and very personable to her patients. read more

Dr Yuri and her staff are all very nice. I have been to quite a few dentists in Chula Vista- west, Rancho del Rey, sunbow. I would say she's the best and most honest. She will not work on your teeth if there's no work needed. So I trust her recommendations. If you're looking for a trustworthy dentist, you guys have to try her office. Also her dental hygienists are very caring and they are very thorough in cleaning your teeth. read more

Dr. Kaneda's is a great place to go for your teeth!... Her clinic is clean and well decorated. The staff is all incredibly friendly and treats everyone like family. They know how to make you feel welcome and comfortable. They are also very flexible with scheduling. There was a few times where I've had to cancel/reschedule on short notice, and they did so without any cancellation fees or problems. Treatment is up to date and quick. Parking is a little small, but I never had a problem. Love them! read more

Wonderful staff with great professionalism. Clean, thorough, friendly, caring, everything you want in a dentist and more. She's absolutely the best in South County SD. read more

I unfortunately am no longer a patient (due to an insurance change) but Dr. Yuri was my childhood dentist and I can't express to you just how wonderful she is! She's friendly, easy to talk to, understanding, and without a doubt, phenomenal with her dental care. She has a heart of gold and her knowledge and care matches that. Thank you for all that you do, Dr. Yuri. read more

Dr. Kaneda is great! She's very personable and always has fun stories to tell to ease your mind. She's done a great job for me in the last few months with some emergency dental issues. Now my whole family goes to her! I don't feel nervous going to her office like I used to with other dentists. Everyone is friendly and the dental hygienist has a soft touch when cleaning teeth. I highly recommend this office. read more

Dr. Kaneda is the BEST Dentists I've ever had the pleasure of going to! Dr. Yuri and her staff are just about the nicest & most pleasant staff you'll ever meet! Our entire family sees her, as well as my parents. Her dental office is very clean and inviting, yet not over-the-top like you'd expect from a dental office shown in Interior Designing magazine. My usual dental hygienist (Cheryl) is Top-Notch! She has the most gentle hands and doesn't make the trip to the dentist a scary one :) If you're in the Chula Vista or Bonita area, and you're looking for a really good dental office, give Dr. Kaneda and her staff a shot, you'll quickly become regular patients of theirs. read more

What a pleasant experience with Doctor Kaneda and her staff. Yes, today I found out that a visit to a dentist can be pleasant indeed! Doctor Kaneda and her staff made me feel very welcome and put my mind at ease. The whole office had a nice family vibe and I would definitely recommend this place to all. The whole staff really paid attention to details and made an effort to get to know me and made the whole experience more pleasant. See u in 6 months! read more

Going to the Dentist was always a terrifying experience for me. Then about 15 years ago a friend highly recommended Dr. Kaneda. He had nothing but wonderful compliments. I made an and all I can say is she and her staff are amazing. Her dental hygienists are excellent. I have a few years behind me and because of her excellent care I still have ALL my teeth. The office staff is pleasant, extremely attentive and funny. Dr. Kaneda always has a smile and a very gentle technique which I appreciate. Her office is just south of Bonita. I would give Dr. Kaneda 10 stars if possible. read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Kaneda's for as long as I can remember. The staff has always been extremely nice and accommodating while providing the highest level of dental service. Do yourself a favor and save your time, money and headaches and give Dr. Kaneda a call. I cannot recommend this dentist enough and can't see myself going anywhere else. read more

I have had about three dentists in my life and by far she is my absolute FAVORITE!! Dr. Kaneda and all the hygienists are WONDERFUL. They're welcoming and friendly all the time! I used to dread going to the dentist, but I really like this place a lot! I feel like I'd want to be friends with everyone here! The place is very clean and quiet and makes me feel very comfortable. My entire family comes here, and not just my immediate family.. my aunts, uncles, and cousins come here too! They know all of us and they make me feel at home. They've always been very professional and thorough when it came to cleaning, examining, and x-raying my teeth. They do an excellent job! I even got a special phone call recording on my birthday from them!! (: How cool is that! They always send me a reminder in the mail and one by email to say that my appointment is coming up. If I ever need to reschedule, they were happy to do so and help. Just be sure to call within 24 hours or a business day. BEST DENTIST AND STAFF EVER!! LOVE THEM! And I don't love just anyone, so I really mean it! read more

Amazing staff!! Every single one of them. My two boys have grown up with Yuri and her staff.

Been coming here for about 9 years Dr Yuri is the best and has a wonderful personality that puts you at ease. Highly recommend her I continue to drive 40 minutes to see her since I have since moved from the area about 6 years ago. read more

I have had the pleasure of going to Dr. Yuri Kaneda office for more that 25 years she is a great person and the staff is just super. She had taken good care of me and my family. read more

A few years ago my husband and I started going to dr Kaneda on a referral. The staff was very nice. At first everything was fine. Later, she place a crown on a tooth that didn't need it. My husband received a burn on his lower ilp from an xray given there. I had a chipped tooth that irritated my tongue which she filed, but seemed irritated with me because she needed to file several times. That weekend the tooth continued to irritate my tongue. I called dr Kaneda and she told me to file the tooth with a medal nail file. Really? We paid off account off and decided to not return to her office. Very unhappy with the dentist! Had it not been for the other staff the star count would be zero. Joanne F read more

I absolutely love Dr. Kaneda and her staff!! Have been a patient for about 8 years now, Dr. Kaneda is very helpful and accommodating and her staff are all amazing. Thank you, Dr. Kaneda! read more

I have been going to Yuri for a year now and have had nothing but excellent service and professional competent treatment. I can't recommend this dentist highly enough. read more

Seeing Dr. Kaneda and her staff makes me happy to have my teeth cleaned and worked on. They make you feel like you're family. I love her laugh! read more

Best dentist I have ever been to. My daughter makes it the 5th generation of our family going to Dr. Kaneda's. They are great with kids and are very professional, yet personable. Feels like family there. read more

Fisrt time patient and the experience was easy, painless and thourough! Will definitely be a reoccurring patient for years to come. Great overall experience. From the location, to the greeting, to the customer service...this place is top notch and the dentist and her staff is delightful! read more

Been going here for a few years now. I love the staff. They're always super friendly! Dr. Kaneda is excellent as well.

Awesome, The staff is super-friendly and kept this scary-cat at ease. I highly recommend my dentist to everyone, especially if you are very apprehensive about going to the dentist. read more

Dr. Kaneda and her team have been the best! My family is TERRIBLE at taking care of our teeth...I know...gross, but dentists are SCARY...and PAINFUL! I mean, we all brush and SOME of us floss, but dentist visits were few and far between over the years and my hubby was scarred by another CV dentist office (basically berated for coming in only when his teeth hurt and took a patronizing attitude with him). We were putting off going to the dentist for a LONG TIME but I'd had my new insurance for over a year and haven't actually been to a dentist in a few years! I decided to get everyone "back on track" so I researched and found great reviews about this office on trusty old YELP! AND found she is part of my insurance...so double-POW, easy decision! Made the appointment and absolutely can't WAIT to go to the dentist again! My hubby who is SO SENSITIVE about his teeth doesn't ever want to leave this office or dentist...EVER. Our kid was so amazed after the visit that her teeth were WHITE! Score for us all! Their office staff is very un-intimidating and Dr. Kaneda seems to remember everybody's name (I hear her hollering-out greetings and goodbyes to everyone) and is super-funny...like a funny young auntie that 's hip! The hygienists we've had are great (Mel and Christine?). My hubby and I don't like to be wusses about stuff, but we are constantly reminded to let them know if it hurts...awww, thanks for caring! Even the receptionist is adorable! The office is clean, very organized, and unpretentious. They have up-to-date magazines as well if you're stuck waiting for someone who can obviously go by themselves, but needs you to be there "just in case" and because it makes them feel better :) ! All in all, if you have any reservations about dentists and dental hygienists, you can toss them aside and make an appointment. Billing is appropriate and the office is ever-accommodating with any questions or concerns! You will not be sorry! read more

Dr. Yuri absolutely ROCKS! She runs a very fun and inviting dental office (unlike any I grew up with!) and even though I'm always nervous to go to the dentist, she and her staff of upbeat, kind and thorough hygienists always help to quell my fears. I also have VERY sensitive teeth in some places in my mouth (ok, maybe everywhere) and the wonderful hygienists take the time to coat my teeth with fluoride foam during my cleaning so to keep the sensitivity down. It probably takes double the time for them to clean my teeth, but they never complain. They are so patient! I'm also a huge gagger, and again, they are so patient when taking my x-rays. My teeth always feel so amazing after I get a cleaning there, too. I highly recommend this dental office! Dr. Yuri and her receptionist are also bilingual in Japanese. read more

Great with adults and kids alike. I have no problem bringing my 7 and 4 year old to the dentist, who knew that would ever happen. Very professional with a relaxed atmosphere. read more
