I needed 2 adjacent crowns to be replaced due to cavities underneath. My experience was terribly beyond belief!!! I had to raise my hand 6 times so that excess water and saliva did not go down my throat. Additionally, I gagged twice while dentist was drilling! I am 74 years old and never had to raise my hand more than once due to excess fluids in my mouth. Further, I was over-charged by $160.60 and I am still waiting for refund "from corporate" SIX WEEKS LATER! Dental hygienist was wonderful. However, Terrible service by dentist and disgusting time lag in refunding my money. Avoid this dentist. read more

Since Dr. Call left it was not good. Billed my insurance for XRays when they couldn't get their machine to work. So, glad I found Dr. Call again in Vista. Things are now right! read more

The phones seem to not be working. I have called 3 times this morning with 2-4 rings each time & then the line disconnects like I've been hung up on... Are the phone lines working? read more

Don't say this is the office for Dr Call when he isn't there! How rude to not inform your customers that 99% of the staff has changed (although they are very nice). Such a culture shock, felt weird by no one addressing the elephant in the room. This office felt like family, and now they are gone and the owners offered no communication to their customers. read more

Reception and appointments are great! Rachel especially has great customer service. Dr. Call is funny, positive, and is direct about issues and care recommendations. They are not pushy like my previous dentist. read more

So far, my experience with any dentists is horrible. If anyone tells me I am too capricious, it is easy prove - I paid so much money, and lost more teeth. I hoped A Smile Shoppe would be better, but something strange is going on with that business. My coworker recommended Dr. Call, and he looked OK until he disappeared one day! As well as all his staff. New staff member promised a FREE consultation with Dr. Tibbitts, the owner. I am so tired dealing with new dentists and just pay money for nothing (in the best case), so I called twice, and asked one more time in the office about if it's free (they assured me they could use my previous X-rays from Dr. Call), waited for 40 minutes, and... right before I was ready to go to the room, they told me I had to pay $300 for X-rays for my prospective BEFORE he could see me! I was so upset and let that receptionist know how offended I was. I expected a free consultation to decide IF I can afford implants! I didn't yell, but I told her what I thought about it. The receptionist kept arguing trying to prove she was right. I was telling her she wasn't because she had told me it would be free. If she had told me, and been honest, it would have been different. Yes, I was upset, no wonder! She could have just taken my payment, but she kept arguing and arguing with me when I was ready to pay. I told her - just take my card, but... she said that I am upset (heck yeah!), and we were not a good match, and I had to go and look for another dentist! The doctor already went back to the room before she turned me away with my card in my hands, unbelievable. I told her I would file a complaint, and I should have written a letter to Dr. Tibbitts about how unprofessional that member of his team is. Anyways, stay away from that crazy office. read more

My family was going to the Smile Shoppe and at first we loved it, until it came to billing. They were charging us out of network prices the entire time and when we brought the issue up with them they told us we would be receiving a refund promptly...that was almost 7 months ago and we still have not received a refund. I have called emailed and get the same run around with no end sight. I wish the average person could send businesses into collections, maybe then i'll get my over $1,000.00 dollars owed to me. read more

Friendly and competent Dentist and staff. From the moment I walked in I felt at home. They have all the latest equipment, like xray and instruments, so care was not as painful as I thought it would be. I guess I'll go back in a couple of months for more, can't say I look forward to it, but this dental office does make you smile. read more

Year 2023 I had a botched sinus lift (most likely skimped on the bone graft to save a few bucks) and one of the dental implants perforated my sinus. Suffered with dental plaque infecting my sinuses for 4 months until a CT scan was finally done and revealed the perforated sinus. What a nightmare!!! Couldn't remove the dental implants until the sinus infection was cleaned out which was another 4 months of getting scheduled for that surgery. Very painful! Not to mention the 4 rounds of antibiotics that have destroyed my digestive system and taking 6-8 month of getting that back to normal. Both bogus implants had to be removed, healing fine and on my path to getting new implants from a more reputable qualified dentist. What a waste of thousands of dollars, a year of suffering and now spending over $20,000 to do the job right this time. I have now learned that there are lesser quality implants, bone graft material and qualified dentist, SO DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!! FYI This has NOT been Dr. Sorge's office for over 5 years or more now so this review is NOT about his services. I hear Dr. Sorge is now in San Clemente, he is wonderful! Miss him. read more

For almost 8 years our family has happily been serviced by all the great dental staff here. We appreciate the professional yet kind and down to earth connection we always receive and everyone is more than willing to make our time there as comfortable as possible. We feel confidence in knowing they will do their level best to get it right from appointment times to billing to our mouth issues. Of course we want to open our mouth wide for the services, both literally and as a shout out to a great community ready to help us smile! read more

I'm really happy with the care my two young boys have received here with Dr. Call. He makes them feel happy and at ease which makes my life as a parent a lot easier! The office is clean, in a pretty medical plaza, and always a pleasure to visit. We're thankful we have found this dental office. Thanks Dr. Call! read more

Absolutely nobody will take care of you better than Dr. Call and the entire staff at A Smile Shoppe! They are extremely kind and skilled. The atmosphere is very calm yet positive and easy going. I have never felt so well taken care of at the dentist office. Many thanks to them!! read more

Cynthia gets the A+++++++++++ service award of the year. I had one billion questions for her and although not a dentist she handled them all with the expertise of doctor educated person. The conversation about insurance and coverage has been so tricky and she hit wall after wall and kept going until we found out what exactly my coverage was! I'm so grateful for customer care like hers which makes me feel like I'm not going in blindly for a treatment not knowing what my bill will be. As complicated as it was, she explained the ins and outs and now I know exactly what to expect, which is what I wanted. Cynthia for president! XOXO read more

Paid them over $1000 Upfront because that's what my insurance would not cover when in spoke to the dentist and the office manager to get this corrected here we are months later with them threatening to put me in collections over some thing I've already paid for in cash and also with insurance stay as far away from this place as possible office manager Alejandra is super annoying last time they gave me an issue I went in the office and spoke to her and the dentist and was told they don't put people in collections then why do I have a voicemail from them stating I will be placed in collections last attempt is today. What a complete joke The Dentist is a nice guy. Staff is great. Office manager garbage lady that answered the phone in Arizona is also garbage. read more

Clean efficient and friendly. Smile shoppe is a great dentist to go for regular cleanings and also orthodontics. I get regular cleanings here and also recently got Invisalign through the practice. In terms of attentiveness and caring for their patients, the doctors here go above and beyond. I have been struggling with intense jaw pain and popping and clicking for well over a decade. Other dentists have told me to try a warm compress and some ibuprofen, which I did to no effect. Conversely, the doctors at smile shoppe have addressed the structural issues that led to my bruxism and TMD. My smile is looking better and the pain in my jaw is reducing. The staff at the dentist go above and beyond to make sure that your payments and insurance work to your benefit. Without being solicited, Rachel figured out how to maximize my dental benefits and I am paying nothing for Invisalign. Amazing work. The smile shoppe is the place to get the best dental care. read more

I hadn't been to a dentist in 8 years. Gross, I know. But I absolutely hated going to the dentist, I always had horrible experiences. My husband guilted me into going to a dentist (not because my teeth were disgusting lol) but because we were paying for my dental insurance & it was going to waste. SO I googled nearby dental offices & made an appointment with A Smile Shoppe & I wasn't looking forward to it... WELL to my surprise - from the moment I walked in I was BLOWN AWAY. This is not just any old dentist's office. This place is so clean & modern and the receptionists are all super friendly & sweet. I was still cautious & nervous about what was going to happen once I went back. Well ANOTHER SURPRISE! My technician was amazing & my cleaning was not painful OR messy! THEN I met Dr. Call & he was so kind & fun and very knowledgeable of his craft. He is the most down to earth dentist I have ever met! I did not feel like another number. I couldn't believe that I was actually having fun at a dentist's office & I didn't want to leave. I'm telling you they are AMAZING!!! Now I look forward to my 6 month cleanings!! And go regularly! My husband couldn't believe it when I got home & told him what a great time I had & that he needed to schedule an appointment asap. Dr. Call has also really helped my husband with all of the jaw pain he was having. Dr. Call is the first person who has made recommendations for him & is doing everything he can to help him. And he has already made major improvements!! Dr. Call & his staff are phenomenal. If you are looking for a dentist to change your life, look no further! read more

dont be fooled by the 5 stars. the smile shoppe charges double what contending dentist charge for. read the fine print

I feel so fortunate to have an amazing dentist in my neighborhood. They're everything that you want out of a dentist and nothing like the dentist you're afraid of going to. The front desk ladies are all friendly and they're really great at getting back to you if they have an earlier appointment due to cancellation. A Smile Shoppe has two dentists here, Dr Sorge and Dr Call. Both of them are absolutely amazing!! Deborah is my dental assistant that I get every time. She's very great at complimenting and being gentle with your teeth. I weirdly look forward to my dentist appointments. I know that I'm going to be well taken care of and not judged in the least. They are very accommodating in every aspect and I always leave feeling well taken care of. read more

I have been going here for 7 years and have always been treated professionally. From cleaning to fillings and cosmetics. I highly recommend them. The entire staff. read more

If you're wondering why this place doesn't have more Yelp reviews...it's because they don't need them. Most of their business is word of mouth...that's how I found them. A good friend of mine referred me to Dr. James Sorge at A Smile Shoppe, however, I was reluctant because of the commute (at the time I was living in Carlsbad)...but man was it worth the drive. I've been in to see Dr. Sorge and his staff about 2 dozen times in the last 2 years. Started with general dentistry (cavities etc) and just finished up my orthodontics and got the braces removed! Next up is cosmetic. The results are already amazing. I have to say that this is the most welcoming and friendly dentistry I've ever been apart of. Dr. Sorge and his skilled staff made me feel about as comfortable as I could sitting in that chair, haha. I was always called in right at my appointment time, and never felt like Dr. Sorge and his staff were trying to rush trough my appointment. The office is super clean, the technology looks to be up to the latest standards and the prices seem reasonable. Give them a shot, you won't regret it. read more

This was an easy way to get some teeth whitening done. Very relaxing and quiet. Clean, calm atmosphere and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They even gave me a few bonus gifts just for coming in. read more

Dr. Sorge and his team are consistently skilled, welcoming, and reliable. The Smile Shoppe has state of the art equipment. I trust this dentist with the best care of my teeth for the length of my life. Thank you Dr. Sorge! L. Tanaka read more

Dr. Sorge and his staff at A Smile Shop are the absolute best. I have been seeing him for over a year, during which time he has helped me with numerous dental issues and improved the overall health of my teeth. Dr. Sorge and his staff are very gentle, caring, and professional. He also referred me to a great specialist in order to save a tooth which otherwise would need to be extracted. After getting all the necessary work done, including a implant, I inquired about cosmetic improvements. I explained to Dr. Sorge that I wasn't looking for "perfect teeth", I just wanted a nice smile. Dr. Sorge was very patient and numerous times explained to me the options along with the pros and cons that come with each procedure. After a long while I finally settled on getting veneers on my top teeth. Dr. Sorge made the process painless and after two visits I had a brand new smile. I couldn't be happier and I highly recommend Dr. Sorge to anyone needing a dentist for cosmetic or general dentistry. Check out my before and after! read more

The dentist that was dishonest has since been fired. The owner/dentist Dr Sorge apologized for his employee, and I am satisfied Dr Sorge can provide honest service. read more

I have had an excellent experience with Dr. Sorge and the office staff at A Smile Shoppe! They were able to see me as a new patient with tooth pain the same day! The office is like a boutique or spa-there is a complimentary beverage cooler in the wait room as well as soothing decor...they are "green" as well-all signatures and forms were completed on the computer! I really appreciated that. After my initial consultation, including X-rays and exam, Dr. Sorge discussed my treatment options for the current problem as well as mapped out a plan for smaller issues to be corrected in the future- I left the office with a detailed report including a timeline and all fees associated with my dental work. I have since begun treatment and find Dr. Sorge's chair-side manner to be quite comforting. He communicated with me throughout the procedure and his confidence and his ability left me trusting his work! I have already added my whole family to his practice and a close friend from the neighborhood has switched to him due to my recommendation! If you want a happy smile...go to A Smile Shoppe!! read more

I went in recently as I needed a cleaning and exam since I hadn't seen a dentist since the pandemic started. They originally scheduled me for the end of Sept but I had requested to be "wait listed" in case someone canceled their appointment. Luckily, someone canceled and I could get in about a month sooner!!! The office was clean, respectful of COVID restrictions and the staff were kind and happy to have me there. I explained that I LOVE my teeth and want the best care for them(mostly b/c I love to eat!). I met two dentists and am thrilled that I found a dentists office that I can trust with my "pearly whites". The woman that did my cleaning was both professional and did a great job. I left the office feeling sparkling SMILING. I will be going in again this week for more extensive work and will update if my feelings change, however, I have already referred a friend and am confident that anyone who goes there will also leave SMILING. Cheers! read more

THIS IS LONG OVERDUE!!! -BEST DENTIST! -BEST STAFF! -BEST PRICE! Where to start? Dr Sorge is the most AMAZING dentist EVER! I feel blessed beyond belief to have finally been referred to him after years of bad dentists, bad work & really bad teeth. This man is an artist! He creates the most beautiful smiles. The office is beautiful, very up to date & the staff is the sweetest!!! And NO he is not expensive! I went to 3 different dentists for quotes right before Dr. Sorge as I had extensive work needed- 5 implants, multiple crowns, extractions, you name it I was all messed up. I had put off all this work for almost a decade! On top of the necessary work I also wanted veneers or something to achieve that gorgeous smile I always desired. For the price I was quoted by 2 Temecula offices for just 4 implants, Dr Sorge gave me an entirely new smile, only 6 of my original teeth are left untouched. I got implants, Crowns, a Bridge and all my front teeth veneered (actually full porcelain crowns up front to be exact)! Basically I have a movie star smile now! :) Every tooth looks absolutely perfect inside & out!!!!!!! I thought a smile like this would cost me $100,000 and I'd never get it but nope, thanks to Dr. Sorge I got it for almost 1/5th of that! YEP 1/5th! Now I know being "in Network" helped a lot (delta dental) but even without the discount the price was unbeatable ESPECIALLY for this type of high end, quality work. I could go on and on about what I got for the money......Still blows my mind When I say he is an artist I mean it! I came in with a dream, he listened. He had a plan to get me there after the first consultation. He gave options. He educated me. He made me feel very important and I knew he understood exactly what I wanted. All I knew is the teeth you couldn't see were either missing or in bad shape and the ones you could see weren't worth seeing. They were so yellow & I had old fillings causing multiple variations of color. I knew I didn't like my front teeth and I hated my smile. When I laughed, I covered my mouth with my hand. Dr. Sorge identified all the reasons why. On top of the discoloration, my teeth receded slightly causing already too small teeth to look even less prominent. The angle in which they receded also caused my lower jaw to recede back into my skull to accommodate. He fixed all that! I wore a stint to bring my jaw back in place and he set my new front teeth perfectly straight and made them the correct size to achieve that prominent beautiful smile! Oh and the chin moving back forward helped the overall beauty of my face and profile! He was meticulous about each individual tooth and took his time, every time. I went from NEVER showing my teeth in pictures to grinning like the Cheshire Cat every time! :))) If you don't go there, you're cheating yourself to sum it up! This is just the tip of the iceberg....I could go on and on.... read more

I have nothing but good things to say about my experiences at the Smile Shoppe and Dr. Sorge and his staff. After moving to Fallbrook 2 years ago it has taken some time to find a dentist and I couldn't be happier. After my initial exam and having my teeth cleaned twice I knew that this was the dentist I wanted to give me my new look. I was way overdue to have a bridge and front caps replaced, but, had put it off for fear of the pain of an extensive visit. Dr. Sorge cleared his morning calendar and devoted a half day to my benefit. I was never in any discomfort. I am a tinkerbell when it comes to dental visits so this is saying a lot. My new smile that he created with my input turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Dr. Sorge listened to what was important to me and made good suggestions, but was not pushy in any way in the process. He is a good listener, and this was one of the most important factors to me in my decision process. My new smile is brighter and more beautiful while being age appropriate as well. I'm not 30 any more and I don't want people to focus on unusually white teeth for my age. I feel more confident when I smile knowing how beautiful my teeth look. It's a boost to the moral for sure. Just sorry I waited so long! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Sorge since 2003. 8 years ago I moved away from Fallbrook to downtown San Diego yet I continue to see Dr. Sorge. He is so sweet, patient and professional I can't imagine going anywhere else. The 2 hour drive is well worth it as his staff feel like family. You must choose this dentist if you are able. Your teeth will thank you! read more

I don't love going to a dentist. But, this place was very nice! All the staff members were great, they all took their time and I didn't feel the normal rush of a dentist's office. I will recommend this place to everyone! read more

Wonderful family environment. They treat you with the utmost care and professionalism. They made me so comfortable from the very beginning and communicated as need to my dentist in Wisconsin, Dr Bob Feider, for the best care for me moving forward here in Fallbrook. read more

Dr Sorge and staff are the perfect combination of skills, efficiency, and genuine caring hearts. I never expected a trip to the dentist could be a good experience, but that is how I feel every time I leave A Smile Shoppe. They are great with everyone from my 95 year old Mom right down to my 13 year old Grandson. I highly recommend them all. read more

It really is a Smile Shoppe, everyone is so nice, friendly and helpful. I had to change dentists because I moved to Fallbrook and decided to try them out. The Dr. took his time to give me thorough exam and he has a wonderful bedside manner. I like to get my teeth cleaned but I prefer cleaning with the hand tools. ELAINE WAS AWESOME! She did a thorough job and my gums were not hurting at all the next day which normally happens. I highly recommend them! You won't be disappointed! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Sorge for years. Even when he moved his practice to Fallbrook, I still deal with the drive! He is completely trustworthy and I know he is doing an incredible job and the best price possible. The staff is extemely patient with children, even watching my 3 year old last time I needed a filling. I will never go anywhere else. If you live in the vicinity, The Smile Shoppe is the best! read more

Dr.Sorge has provided excellent care for me and my family. The office is clean, the staff is friendly and compassionate. My dental treatments have been comfortable.

Wow - this office is absolutely wonderful! I made an appointment for my husband and when we both arrived we were greeted with warm introductions. After a very short wait, we were called back and got the process started. Every single person was extremely professional, polite, and thorough. They made us feel relaxed and at ease - a real accomplishment for a dentists office! My husband hasn't been to the dentist in almost 10 years and they were concerned about what kept him away and really worked hard to make him feel comfortable. Dr. Sorge is friendly and genuinely cares about his patients. Thank you all so much for providing a positive experience! read more

This is the best dentist I have had, and we have chosen to be a family customer for the last 10 years. He treats myself and my family well, and works with me to make our dentistry affordable. He does great work and is very quick about it. He has gotten me over my fear of the the dentist. read more
