    Why is this business (Adriatic Dental) listed under different name and address on Yelp? Was considering this dentist based on good reviews on Google but couldn't find any reviews on Yelp. Found the bad reviews using another search engine.

    I used Adriatic Dental this past summer for some extensive dental work. The office I went to is at 2345 S. Melrose Drive in Vista, CA. I was awed by the very modern equipment. I had an excellent dentist and some very good dental assistants tend…

    Janet, the hygienist even made me laugh a few times, which is not how I usually feel in the dental chair.

    I'm sharing this as my personal experience so others can make an informed decision…read more I had been a patient of this dental office for years and was explicitly told that this was the same practice I had been seeing all along. At no point was I informed--verbally or in writing--that my insurance was now considered out-of-network. Based on those assurances, I reasonably believed my coverage, billing expectations, and standard of care would remain the same. My first concern arose when I was scheduled for what would have been my third cleaning in the same calendar year. When I arrived, I was told the cost would be over $200 due to insurance coverage. This was surprising, especially since the appointment had been booked by the office with full knowledge of my insurance history. Again, there had been no communication that my insurance was no longer in network. I ultimately rescheduled for 2 weeks later, after the new year, once benefits reset. When I returned, the cleaning itself was fine, but the experience felt noticeably different from what I had consistently received at this office in prior years. The technician took an unusually high number of X-rays because the images weren't capturing properly. The office claims a full set of X-rays was taken, which is fine and what I expected - but the tech repeatedly x-rayed the same areas telling me he was having trouble capturing the images. Despite being told this was the same practice, the overall experience felt different from what I had come to expect. Based on those X-rays, I was told I had a cavity that needed filling. This was concerning because my prior dentist at this same office had been monitoring the tooth and believed it was coffee staining rather than decay. I understand that dentists can have differing clinical opinions, but given the recent changes, it gave me pause. When I brought this up to the front desk I was told Dr. Farahani noted a cavity in my chart - which may be the case (I haven't seen the notes) but what was verbally communicated was that the area was not of concern and to wait and see. I previously saw Dr. Norling who believed the area was stained from coffee and also opted to monitor the teeth rather than perform work. This was the case for years and never do I ever experience any discomfort to the teeth in question. Despite my hesitation, I returned for the procedure because I wanted to trust the practice I had been loyal to for years. What was not clearly communicated until the day of the appointment was that I was now considered out-of-network, nor was I given a clear estimate ahead of time. This was especially frustrating given that I had been assured nothing had changed with the practice itself. While I was already in the chair and desensitized, it was decided that an adjacent tooth should also be filled. These fillings were performed on my two front teeth, which made the situation feel particularly high‑stakes. When I asked for an updated estimate, I was told "I'm bad at math. Just double it," by the front desk. At that point, I felt pressured to proceed since the procedure had already begun. I'm not confident that both fillings were necessary, and given that they were done on such prominent teeth, I now have ongoing concerns about future dental work on them. I worry that I may need continued treatment on these teeth over time, potentially even crowns someday, which is especially stressful considering their visibility. During the procedure, there appeared to be miscommunication between the dentist and the assisting tech, who seemed new and required frequent coaching. While I understand training is part of any practice, it was uncomfortable as a patient to hear uncertainty while work was being done. Afterward, my bite felt significantly off, and one of my front teeth was left uneven. The issue wasn't resolved during that visit. Rather than return to this office I opted to see another dentist two days later and pay additional money to have the tooth adjusted so my teeth would stop hitting each other when I bit down. In total, I paid about $550 for two fillings, including the follow‑up adjustment elsewhere. I left feeling disappointed and frustrated, particularly because I had trusted this practice based on years of exceptional prior care and was never clearly informed of changes to insurance status, costs, or treatment expectations--especially for work performed on my front teeth. Others may have had different experiences, but this one missed the mark for me, and I won't be returning.

Ivan was very kind and friendly during the X-rays. Sheila was such a reassuring hygienist. And Dr. Ashley was an absolute gem. She was very communicative and explained what we need to prioritize to get me back on track. I never felt like I was being sold on something I didn't need, never felt overwhelmed or judged, and they checked in often to see how I was doing. If I could give Pristine Dentistry 10 stars, I would. The made an appointment I was dreading an absolutely wonderful experience!

I had Sheila as my hygienist (second time with her) and she's very friendly and has been 2-for-2 in being very gentle and quick with her work. She was joking with me and making me feel very at ease. I like how she was describing her work and procedures and offering tips on brushing, etc. It was fun, informative and thorough. Then the dentist showed up and she was just as great or even better. She reviewed my x-rays and engaged with me personally and professionally. I actually found this office because I followed the dentist specifically from the practice she used to work at. This business is hers (and her husband). All of the staff made a point of calling me by name (keep in mind this is like my 4th ever visit here). It was really a ridiculously great and pleasurable dental visit. Who'd have thought that??!!

I chose to try this place because of the good reviews and the fact that they use laser dentistry (meaning less time in the chair.) My first appointment went really well. I saw the male doctor. He was funny, I liked him. He understood my jaw issues. He took the 3d X-rays and did a thorough exam. Then he listed around three teeth in order of priority that I needed work on. Afterwards, we set up my next appointment to fill the highest priority tooth before it turned into a root canal situation. I was happy and thought I'd finally found my dentist. When I returned thinking I was simply getting the cavity filled by him, all of a sudden, his wife was there taking over my appointment. Instead of having a short appointment for my cavity, she did a whole new full examination. She kept going over my 3D x-rays and whispering something to the assistant, which she never told me what she was finding. Afterwards, she came up with a whole new set of teeth that I needed work on, and not the ones he wrote down, which I was really confused by! The one good thing was she finally did fill the cavity very quickly with the laser and no anesthetic. Finally, even though I told her about my jaw/tmj issues, she insisted on cramming the intraoral x-ray device into my mouth, which the first dentist did not do at all. It really hurt and was difficult for me, but she didn't really care, because she was more focused and happy about her own accomplishment of getting a successful X-ray. I thought, well at least it's done, but then she said she would be doing the same thing again the following week and retaking the X-ray! The device really jacked my jaw for a couple of weeks afterwards. Even if I wanted to go back - which I was not going to do anyway after that - I would not have been able to go to the follow up appointment the next week because of that.
