I want to start this by saying I came as a TRICARE referral as I am active duty Navy. I got in a car accident a while back and chipped my two front teeth, and got it filled by Navy Dentists. And most recently chipped my left front tooth. My referral was to get both my front teeth filled bc when I went to my Navy Dentist, I expressed concerns that my two front teeth were too short compared to what I had before I got in a car accident years ago. And I wanted to be able to rip a bag of chips open again with my front teeth. I know that may seem silly, but it's something that was important for me to have again. I told Ms Cluff the same thing about extending my teeth so they can touch my bottom teeth. This is all of maybe a couple millimeters. She told me my teeth are like that bc of my bite, and that bc of teeth grinding, it made it shorter. She also mentioned that I'm not in my 20s anymore and my teeth are different and she doesn't know why there is a referral to fill both teeth when I only chipped one. I tried to tell her multiple times that my top and bottom front teeth touched before and that's why my referral is for both teeth, and I'd like to fill my teeth so they touch like before. She continued to persuade me otherwise. I can understand on some level why she would, because she doesn't know my medical history, but as a patient I felt like I was not being heard. To the point where I considered just leaving. And right when that thought came, she said she would do it. I asked her to just do her best for my ask. She started to fill my teeth and it actually looked goofy at first but I was happy that my teeth were touching. She said it was before polishing it. So I trusted the process. Then she started polishing and started speaking Spanish to her assistant. Which made me uncomfortable bc it seemed like she was talking trash, given our previous interaction. Then she was done, and it seemed almost too quick? This is obviously compared to how long other dentists in the past would take to fill it. Then she said things like she's glad I'm happy with it and she hopes I don't crack it. Which I thought was weird but whatever I trusted that it is ok. I left and when I got home, I looked in the mirror and my right front tooth was noticeably larger than my left, also you could completely tell it was filled. Of the almost decade since my accident, the fillings I had were almost undetectable. I drove back to the office and saw Ms Ana to even out my teeth. She came in and said, "I told you" which I'm assuming is in reference to me wanting my teeth to touch. I told her I was there bc the right tooth was a lot bigger than the left and that I could feel the edges of the filling on the back of my teeth. She filed it down. She would show me the mirror, I'd tell her where I thought needed filing and then she would file and ask if it was good. When I would tell her where to file, she would audibly sigh, as if I am inconveniencing her. At this point I'm frustrated bc I'm telling a dentist how to even out my two front teeth. I told her I just want it natural looking and asked if it was even. She said "to me it is". I just had to get out of there bc it was evident that she did not care and just wanted to be done. Her staff was very nice and tried their best to make the experience good. However I think if you come here, and you sense that she is not in agreeance with what you would like your treatment plan to be, then leave. Because she WILL perform malicious compliance to your ask. Meaning you will get what you ask for but in the worse way possible bc it's not what she believes is right. I got my teeth to touch, but it looks plastered on and uneven. My right tooth is still bigger than my left. This is the first time in over a decade of having fillings done that it has been immediately noticeable, I can see what I can best describe as grooves in the filling. Thank God I have a referral to a different dentist to fix what was done. I do not recommend this dentist. read more

Excellent facility with excellent staff. Pricing can be overwhelming but so as other facilities. Great location where I live.

This is in regard to my visit on June 29, 2026, to repair two chipped front teeth. I would have to say my visit was perfect in every respect. They were ready for me when I arrived. Everyone was so nice They did an excellent job and had my insurance info and bill ready as I left. I would highly recommend them and no...I am not related to them! ;) Joan M. read more

I needed more dental work than I had from my previous . It was suggested that I just put a filling into my tooth when Dr. saw that I was needing much more extensive repair on my tooth. I'm very happy with my new dentist . It never seems hectic or overbooked. I have waited an hour previously for teeth cleaning then was told to come back the next day. That's when I chose happy smiles read more

The office group was great, helpful and polite. My first visit was for examination and discussion and then 4 days later a couple cavities were removed and then deep cleaning and polishing with Dr Naour (Cluff). Timing and Care was nice, next day my bight felt fine as I hoped for. I would recommend this office. read more

I have been seen by "Dr. D.", Diane Cluff, DMD., who improved my teeth and Michel, who cleaned my teeth. I am very impressed and happy with all the staff I've spoken with about scheduling, or payment arrangements, or anything on my mind. The doctors and staff there really are wonderful people and do their jobs well. Using the latest instruments, they are remarkable. The office is clean, comfortable and with a positive vibe from start to finish. Top notch quality care. I highly recommend this office of professionals. And now I know why everyone loves Michel. And "Doctor D"! read more

The service is great, I would recommend if you need a new dentist to check them out. They do good work!

Not all options and costs are provided. They'll submit pre determinations and claims to insurance, but never any follow up. We'll never go back and recommend others not take a chance on the unexpected costs and frustration dealing with the office staff. read more

I have been going to Dr. Cluff since she took over the practice from my former dentist. The office is always clean and welcoming. Everyone from the front counter to the dentists are professional and friendly. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Good quality dental work, but the constant upselling has gotten out of control. Every visit seems to include new add-ons to the bill--$60 fluoride treatments, "pre-cancer screenings," and other charges that were never discussed or approved ahead of time. After each appointment, you're taken to a separate room where they pitch expensive prescription toothpaste, Invisalign, or other treatments that feel more like sales tactics than patient care. I've been coming here for a couple of years just for regular cleanings, but it's clear they're more focused on selling extras than simply providing honest preventive care. I just want a straightforward cleaning every six months without the pressure. read more

I'm so glad I was recommended this dental office, by far the most kind and knowledgeable staff. They make sure you're comfortable every step of the way. I usually get anxiety before going to the dentist but since being a patient here I feel very glad to be going each visit. read more

My Family I would like to take a moment to express the quality of work and the quality of service Dr. "D" and the entire Ana Cluff team Provided. This particularly Dentistry has provided exceptional service to myself and my Family for several years. Between my Family and I, we have used various types of service to include extractions, Invisalign Etc. The office staff has been professional, don't pressure the patient and do not try to up sale in attempt to make extra money. Great experience!! Thank You read more

Let's start by I hated going to the dentist. Now I feel comfortable going to her office and letting her do the work. She is fast and gets in your dental work done fast and efficient. Thank you for the amazing work. read more

Really great place with kind people working. They somehow made a cavity experience feel like nothing and they did it quick!

The doctors, hygienists, and staff are top class. I have visited quite a few times and received exceptional care every time. This is for my recent visit yesterday and thank you again to Michelle for the outstanding cleaning and expert advice for my flossing going forward. I highly recommend Dr. Cluff for all your dental needs. read more

I just had 4 crowns and deep cleaning done!!! They are the most professional,friendly and most caring people ever!!!

So this is my second time there with referred from the Navy due to back log, first off the team there is extremely friendly and nice, you feel immediately welcome, my first time I did a cleaning and it was so gentle I actually thought it wasn't done properly but Dr Cluff was extremely efficient and quick, the second time I did a deep cleaning she explained everything she was doing and not once did I feel any discomfort or stress or anxiety the atmosphere is very calming I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

lousy for seniors on fixed incomes with no dental insurance they really stick it to you charging almost $900 to pull a tooth SHAME ON THEM

My initial interaction with everyone was pleasant and welcoming. Why I'm Disappointed Unfortunately, what started as a promising relationship turned into a disappointment during treatment planning. Having PPO insurance with 80% coverage for restorative work, I expected transparency and standard pricing. Instead, I encountered the Mandatory use of a desensitizer (Gluma) for fillings. This additional service isn't covered by insurance Was told the filling couldn't be done without it Treatment costs that seem inflated: Right side: $600 (filling + deep cleaning) Left side: $500 (deep cleaning) The Reality Check It's disheartening when a seemingly great dental office employs what feels like pressure tactics. While I respect their right to practice dentistry as they see fit, requiring non-covered services as "mandatory" raises concerns about their priorities. With reluctance, I'll be seeking a second opinion. A filling and partial deep cleaning shouldn't cost this much with insurance coverage. While I appreciate their professional approach, I need a dental office that respects patient choice and provides transparent pricing. Works within the standard insurance coverage. Sometimes the prettiest package doesn't contain what's best for you. read more

Best Dentist experience in my 64 years! They put you at ease and do phenomenal dental work. I give them an A+! Very affordable too! read more

MILITARY members and family, please do not go to this place. Employee Cesar is very unpleasant to work with. This place is in-network with Active Duty Tricare, but Cesar kept insisting that I was not covered for my covered procedures, in addition to having Tricare on the phone with him. Tricare personnel verified that I was covered and informed him what needs to be done. He still kept going back and forth with the Tricare employee who was trying to assist. Further, my buddy who deployed with me who expected the same service, was forced into paying a covered procedure. This was after Cesar knew active military members are covered. He charged my buddy 1,500 for a procedure and when he was asked why the cost was that high, he apologized and said he meant to charge $500. This place is a scam and will trick you into paying out of pocket. Cesar told me that their insurance coordinator and will look into it, but I never received a call. All because I did not want to pay out of pocket. read more

Super great visit from start to finish. Front office staff were friendly, and Dr. Cluff and the technician that worked on me were great. Explained exactly what to expect. Was seen at my appointment time, did not have to wait. Highly recommend!! read more

I've always had the worst fear of the dentist, especially when it comes to numbing. But Dr. Cluff and her assistant Deann went above and beyond to make me feel safe and comfortable. They were patient, kind, and truly cared about easing my anxiety every step of the way. Also, Sheila is always so pleasant when I call the office. Amazing work from amazing women! read more

I just wanted to say thank you to your entire team. I haven't been to a dentist for over 10 years due to severe anxiety and fear. Your office has eased my fear and I am so thankful. You guys walk me through every step. you absolutely delivered. Your teams goal was for me to be comfortable. I am so sad we are leaving San Diego for overseas but if we come back, you definitely have my business and I will refer to all. I cannot thank you enough. read more

Being a huge dental phobe, I am so happy to have found this practice!! Everyone there goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and welcome!! They listened to my fears and never once made me feel bad or silly for being afraid. They prescribed Valium and used nitrous and numbing gel before administering the novocain. I am over the moon happy with my experience and no longer fear going to the dentist!! I am breaking in my new dentures and couldn't be happier! read more

The Cluff dental group is great! They are family/women owned & have excellent customer service.

Unfortunately I will never refer another patient , as I have so many in the past years! We signed and paid for LIFETIME whitening gel a few years ago only to find out it has been discontinued even though it is the same family running the business, they are no longer honoring this LIFETIME offer we paid for! LIFETIME means as long as we live!! AND I found out by calling the office we were not informed by mail or phone call! read more

I've been going to San Diego Healthy Smiles, Dr. Ana Cluff & Associates, for about 8 years. Dr. Ana, Dr. Diana, Dr. Steph, and all of the supporting staff. do a wonderful job! They make sure that I feel comfortable and they explain the procedures they're doing on my teeth. I love that they're always in a relaxed, good mood, because that makes me feel relaxed, too. I really appreciate that they let me know the cost of my visit, ahead of time. They're the best! read more

Had a crown put in by Dr Cluff a few years back. I asked for and paid for gold. When it was delivered I said it looked funny because it wasn't gold colored. She insisted saying it was white gold. Interesting. Fast forward a few years and the crown started leaking. There was definite decay. Not a big deal it happens. My current dentist who I have been going to for years and trust cut the old crown out. He broke 5 drill bits trying to remove it. Said he's never seen any material for a crown like it. It isn't soft like it should be. Current dentist and his friend who is also a dentist, have been for over 30 years each both said the workmanship was nice. But, I would think if you paid for gold, you should get gold. Especially if the customer questions it from the get go. Material is too expensive to not get what you asked for. read more

I love these dentists: mother and two daughters They are all very friendly, the office is lovely, and you feel comfortable the minute you walk in! Never a wait more than 5 minutes so you are in and out without even realizing you've been there. Who would have thought you could actually look forward to going to the dentist! read more

I recently had a crown broke so I went back to Dr. Cluff's office. Her daughter, Daughter D (Diana) took care of me. She is so nice, explains everything so well and so professional, just like her mom!! The staff is awesome as well. I don't have dental insurance, only Medicare and it was quite pricey to do the repair and make a bridge, but they did give me a break on the price. I can't imagine going to any other dentist!! read more

My first experience was okay. I called to schedule my next appointment and was treated so unkindly by Nicole. One person working there who doesn't have show kindness or professionalism is enough for me to find another place to go. My advice is to take better care of your employees so they take better care of your patients. If this person is a one-off, more training or let them go. read more

I DO NOT recommend! They seem to care more about putting Implants into my mouth instead of taking care of the teeth I have. They don't check the numbers (meaning the measurement of pockets) therefore they keep getting larger to the point of having to have teeth extracted because of it. I was just there in march of this year for a cleaning and they did not check my gums for pockets nor last october for my yearly exam! Thank god I decided to see DR. Haeri (periodontist) as he found a 13mm and a 7mn pocket which I have to extract the 13mn tooth and have gum surgery to save the other plus a deep cleaning due to their INCOMPETENCE! This review doesn't include what happened to my husband with his teeth. read more

Amazing, professional care, doesn't smell like a dentist office. Staff were so attentive and it was easy peasy! Dr. Cluff is also really cool read more

From the first phone call to the first office visit, I was treated fantastically! Everyone made me feel very heard and relaxed! And I have never gotten a call from the Dentist the day after a procedure in my life and Dr. D called me to see how I was feeling and if I had any questions or concerns!!!! I have already referred several people to them!! read more
