Went in for a first visit and got dental cleaning then came back for a cavity filling & a chipped tooth. After that went in to get wisdom teeth removed. All experiences have been great! I was so scared to get my wisdom teeth removed but I had no issues or pain (I didn't need to take the prescribed painkillers). Dr Benson,Dr Tibbits and staff are awesome. I also had some payment issues with insurance and the Dr was very accommodating to my request. I would 100% recommend this place. read more

My dentist for over 10 years. Top tier treatment. Everyone in the office is warm and make the visit more pleasant and less focus on treatment. You're the best guys each and every staff there. Thank you for keeping my smile together for years! read more

I saw Andrew Tibbitts a couple of months after suffering a burst fracture of the thoracic spine. Spinal fractures take a long time to heal (recovery can take a year or more). I couldn't wash my feet during those days (bending was dangerous, + even breathing was very painful). During one of my visits, I heard the doctor and his colleague laughing about "she's pretty but her feet smell" (Tibbitts KNEW about my recent spinal fracture! I wish you had the same hard experience, Andrew Tibbitts and your fancy colleague). When Tibbitts installed one of the crowns on my front teeth, it turned out to be too short (all the years after this, the partially naked tooth was/is sensitive and at increased risk of cavities because the upper part of the tooth became exposed). During my last visit, while placing a crown, Tibbitts pressed it TERRIBLY hard with his muscular arms--he practically leaned his entire large body on my poor head and neck! I moaned in intense pain. My neck hurt so much afterward--the pain was comparable to the spinal fracture (10 out of 10)! But neither dr Tibbitts nor his assistant noticed that I was clearly in a lot of pain. I'm not a whiner; on the contrary, I've always tended to downplay my pain for myself and others. Dr Tibbitts even praised me for my patience (due to an allergy to anesthetics, I was given less anesthesia or none at all--I asked about this). I think he damaged one of the tiny bones of one of the vertebrae in my cervical spine near the base of my skull. My neck hurt terribly for MONTHS afterward! I was forced to wear a special brace for several months (in SoCal hot summer). When I left that office (for good), I told his assistant that my neck was now in a lot of pain--it seemed the doctor had damaged something there. After this, I heard the assistant told dr Tibbitts I was crazy and that I didn't have a thoracic spinal fracture, which I mentioned before (should I send an MRI and X-rays as evidence for the gaslighting assistant?) read more

ok for minor work, but not recommended for anything more than dental fillings. Avoid

I had gotten my first crown a few years back at Dr. Tibbitts office and that first experience was less than ideal. I had two appointments; the first was to shave my tooth and give me a temporary crown, the second was for the permanent crown. On the day of my permanent crown placement, I was in that office for nearly 3.5 hours. The initial crown wasn't fitted well, so when it was cemented to my tooth my bite was extremely off. This led to the doctor having to remove the newly-cemented crown to refit it. I can't recall how many re-ups of numbing injections I had to get, but I was there for so long it wore off twice. After the crown had been fitted correctly (or so I thought), I was sent on my way. Late 2020 I saw a new dentist. Upon reviewing my x-rays he informed me that my crown was fitted incorrectly and had quite a bit of overhang on one side. Additionally, there was a cavity growing underneath the overhang of the crown. My new dentist recommended I present Dr. Tibbitts' office with my x-rays and ask them to redo it at no-charge since insurance only covers crowns once every few years. After a bit of back and forth with the front desk at Dr. Tibbitts office, they agreed to a no-charge replacement. That second appointment at Dr. Tibbitts' office in early 2021 was better than the first, but I was still charged a lab fee for the crown itself which was mildly irritating. I chalked it up to just being business and went on my way. A couple weeks later, I received a notice from my insurance company that a dental claim had been denied, and it had been from Dr. Tibbitts office attempting to receive payment for my replacement visit. Again, mildly annoying since they only had to replace the crown because they did it incorrectly the first time. I wasn't personally charged anything further so I simply supposed I couldn't expect anything less from an American Healthcare business. Moving on to 2024, I recently had another full set of x-rays done. Would you believe that this replacement crown was also fitted improperly and now hangs over on the other side? During this revelation, I was a volunteer patient for a university's dental program, so I took the new x-rays to my primary dentist for a second opinion. Lo and behold, it was confirmed the second crown was placed incorrectly. Fast forward to today, July 4th of all days, my crown has completely come off the tooth. Is this incident directly correlated to the incorrect placement of the crown? I can't say. What I can say is that I would be far less angered by a happenstance crown popping off if I didn't have proof that it had previously been done incorrectly, twice, by the same dental practice. Despite the relevance of the crown popping off, the aforementioned experience is enough for me to want to share so review-readers can make an informed decision prior to having a crown done at this practice. read more

Pros: Clean office. Cons: 1. Care that my husband received was not good. Ended up with mouth sensitivity and other issues. Also hygienic wise some issues that came up were not good during the appointments how they used the tools n etc 2. Office front desk - they scheduled an appointment without my husband's knowledge and I had to call to cancel. I spoke to triwest and told me they did not authorize this appointment and the receptionist kept arguing with me that they weren't the ones when clearly that's not how community care works . The receptionist was extremely rude and hung up on me and I had to let triwest know this appt was scheduled without my husband's knowledge and to make sure we do not get billed for this. We have spoken to other veterans about this place who have came here and it wasn't good. read more

Andrew Tibbitts is an awesome dentist! His staff is amazing. The office is clean. I highly recommend Legacy dental in Murrieta Ca.

Very professional people that really enjoy helping people out with their dental. The dentist are great and helping with crowns.

We had an after hours dental emergency with a knocked out front tooth - Dr. Jason Braithwaite came through clutch! It was 11p and Dr. Braithwaite communicated options to save the tooth and he met us at the office within 30 minutes ready to save a smile. Dr was very skilled, knowledgeable & patient! The office followed up the next morning and had us come in next day for Dr to complete the root canal and fix chipped teeth. Excellent outcome and an extremely happy "smiling" patient. Thank you Dr. Braithwaite for your skillful execution and professionalism! I rate you 10 stars sir! Everyone in the office we encountered were awesome as well! The lady who repaired the (2) chipped teeth was also amazing - sorry I forgot your name but thank you for your gentle hands, patience and restorative technique. This office truly handled our trauma exquisitely! read more

Andrew Tibbitts DDS & Associates - General Dentistry Near Me - Murrieta, California

Production dental office. I was seen by a different dentist each visit. I was told my insurance was within network come to find out it was not and my portion of the bill was significantly more money. Not for me I like to be seen by the same dentist. read more

I sent in my rating yet it was declined due to "We ask that reviewers avoid commentary that reinforces negative cultural stereotypes, makes light of physical or sexual violence, or otherwise includes unnecessarily graphic or offensive descriptions." Which I think is true. It is cultural if anything Yelp is a pain. I do think they stereotype!!!!!! 100000% because I came in on a Groupon. Like I said to my previous review. So I'm sure you can find it on the do not recommend page. Which I do t recommend Yelp and Tibbits. Who ever decided to come on this Yelp account to avoid conflict avoid a bad review or someone to decline this device based upon my review it's a stereotype!!!! They don't know what I went through upon this "cleaning" it's strictly on my experience! I think honestly they did a half *** job on my cleaning. And I wasn't impressed at all. read more

The staff is awesome! The quality and care of service is excellent! Very gentle. Valerie is always so nice. Been with this dentist for many years. read more

The dentist! Who in their right mind likes to go to the dentist?? This place is Great! All of the staff members that I met were nothing short of AMAZING! Not only were they professional and curious, but they understood the pain I was in and was able to get me in on the same day to address the nagging wisdom tooth that needed to be extracted. Extraction, which they do as well, that's a plus!!! I really didn't expect to be seen today as I am not a patient of theirs, but they squeezed me in for X-rays and a cleaning at a very affordable price. I really needed to find an actual dentist who I felt I can trust not to push me on other procedures that I need. instead, they explained to me what was important to address today and to not worry about other services that my teeth will need on a future date. I have no dental insurance and was expecting to pay an arm and a leg today. I was pretty sure a root canal was in order. Thankfully it was the wisdom tooth that I really don't need. I especially liked how the Dr. was very personable and showed interest in my new life, here in California. He also shared some of his background with me. This is called being a real human being and I appreciate that as opposed to a Dr. who just sits you down, hardly speaks a word to you and then pushes you on your merry way. Not this place! I will use this practice as my new go to when I need any dental work and I suggest maybe you too should give this place a try if you feel you are in need of a great dentist. I want to thank the whole team today for a comfortable experience :) read more

Best. Dentist. Ever. I had a bad experience with a prior dentist that gave me severe dental anxiety. Knowing that dental care is a necessity, I sought out an office that would be as compassionate as they are thorough. Andrew Tibbitts DDS & Associates is just that place. Savannah with the front office is awesome, and she eased me in with kindness and humor. Heather my hygienist was so gentle and thorough, and full of knowledge. And Dr. Braithwaite, was a pilar of assurance that I was in good care. I've been around long enough to know that all things change, but I truly hope nothing does anytime soon at Legacy Dental of Murrieta because I feel great about finally having a dentist that I not only trust, but look forward to being able to visit for years to come. read more

I called today because I had a question about my appointment tomorrow. I have the confirmation email for my appointment. When I called, they said they didn't have me on the schedule, didn't know who I was?? That's scary! The good news is.... I saved $99.00 for the exam, AND GOD KNOWS WHAT! This makes me wonder if the 5 star rating is just another hoax? Maybe it's Dr Joe Biden running the show & Kamala Harris doing the scheduling?? I will keep the email in case the Secret service shows up at my front door read more

I have been impressed with this dental office for many reasons. The office staff is very professional, efficient, and compassionate (yes, I have had a few emergencies, and they were very understanding). Scheduling appointments is easy. They respond to messages in a timely manner. I have never had a problem with billing. The dentists are FANTASTIC! They take the time to assess the problem, they explain it in a way you can understand, and their recommendations for treatment are always on point. The dental work is top quality. I highly recommend this dental office. read more

DO NOT COME HERE.. Not only did they NOT cover my gums completely with the blue gel to protect my gums, they forgot about me TWICE.. There are two 15 minute sessions with the bleach on. The first time she left it on for an extra 5 mins. I didn't really mind the extra 5 minutes. But then she left me sitting there for over 30 minutes the second session! Thats over TWICE as much as it should have been on my teeth. I was in pain still from the first session because she didn't completely cover my gums and instead of rinsing my gums off she simply whipped it and put on more of the protectant over the area. Even when I told her it was still burning all she had to say was " well its not on your gums anymore" I had to get up and find someone to go get her to take the bleach off. She didn't show me my teeth and tried to get me out of there very fast which I thought was strange and so when I checked my teeth, a large portion of my gums were completely white. My teeth themselves had terrible sensitivity and shooting pains with the slightest change in temperature. I couldn't eat or drink anything. My gums had been so severely burned from the bleach the flesh started to deteriorate and come off and bleed any time my tooth brush lightly touched them and even if i touched them with my tongue. I left there in tears and they have not reached out to me or offered my money back or anything for that matter. I made it clear I was in pain and extremely upset. I will now be contacting a business law attorney. I will attach pictures Just Go somewhere else!! read more

Well, it seems I have been on a constant quest to find a new dentist after my dentist of 40 years retired. Along the way I've had a few traumatic experiences "in the chair", been price-gauged, and been shocked by the blatant attempt at upselling. With the grace of God, I found Legacy Dental also known as Andrew Tibbitts, DDS. The office has a newly hired dentist by the name of Jason Braithwaite. This guy is now my most favorite person in the whole world! Little filling, absolutely no pain, in and out quickly and the nicest, most patient man. I just cannot recommend this office more - especially to those who are terrified of the dentist!

First time here First observation was that office very clean sanitary, over all very nice. Staff is so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Genie was amazing she cleaned my teeth and Lisa whitened them both ladies were very delightful. Learned of clinic through Groupon but now plan to visit regularly for cleanings. Recommend 100% read more

Do not go here , They say oh insurance will cover that. I get that's a estimate. When they say insurance limit is 2000 and we pay the difference and found out it covered 150 dollars and we are responsible for the difference after the fact. This was double compared to other companies. Watch out total scam don't get work done till the billing is set in stone. Smoke and mirrors. read more

After being in the military and going to very average dental clinics this office and staff is WONDERFUL. I seen Dr. Braithwaite who really took the time to review what was needed and my options. I also seen Heather for my cleaning who made it a pain feee and enjoyable experience. So happy to have found my new office I would highly recommend! read more

Last visit and I do mean last I was attempted up charge on cleaning without prior knowledge which is a big no-no. I agreed for Flouride treatment which was not done but insurance was charged for. had to remind them of 3 other items that could/should be done, again why? Seems they just wanted the fast easy buck. Glad they did not try anything major this time. not happy with all this and will never go there again. I could not leave no stars so they got more than they should have. also asked for records to be sent to another provider and all that was sent was bite wing x-rays from that last visit. told them I would not be returning and just got a card for my nest appt in Jan 2020. what the hell. read more

False advertisement I bought zoom whitening on Groupon when I called to make an appointment I was informed that they don't provide zoom!! WTF??? How can you clearly advertise zoom whiting and not even have that service? The receptionist offered me gel. Not happy. read more

Andrew Tibbitts DDS & Associates - False advertisement!! They don't even offer zoom its gel whiting. Lies and deception - General Dentistry Near Me - Murrieta, California

Andy is not only a great dentist, but a great guy. Couldn't be more satisfied after a nearly 10 year relationship.

I've had a fear of the dentist for many years due to several bad experiences. Unfortunately, I had an infected tooth under a bridge due to bad work in the past. Today, Dr. Tibbitts was able to remove the bridge, do the root canal and relieve the massive pain I had. It was the most professional experience I've had at any dentist office and he saved me thousands by keeping the bridge in tact. This is not the usual, however his honesty, integrity, and skill were amazing. Five stars for this experience after several nightmares at other dentist offices. For any one that has been putting off dental work for fear of a bad experience, I highly recommend Dr. Tibbitts to do it for you! Thank you Dr Tibbitts and awesome staff! read more

Unfortunately our family was not impressed. They kept telling us to return for this, that, and the other. All the while I felt my teeth were not feeling clean and didn't understand the need for repeated visits requiring other work... My son went and was actually lied to regarding my agreement to him having work 1200.00$ done. I didn't even know he went there. My son immediately knew this place is all about the all mighty get to your money business. We have returned to our long time dentist which is an hour and a half drive away. Honesty is still the best policy in my book! read more

All of the people who work at this location are just amazing. Everyone is so and conversational. Besides that, they are incredibly friendly and they really do care. Namely, Dr. Bramwell has in my experience been one of the sweetest and most compassionate people I've come across. This is a great location for people of any age, whether you need a simple teeth cleaning or have a more serious problem such as a cavity that needs to be filled. Thank you so much to all of the people who work here! I am beyond grateful!! read more

This place is great the staff is super friendly and helpful. I had cleaning, xrays, and teeth bleaching. They explained every step thoroughly. I am very happy with the results! Defiantly recommending read more

I didn't think the scammer reviews below were real. I didn't think it would happen to me. To cut it short, I got financial assistance with Sunbit for 1500 and from my understanding, they were going to charge Sunbit whatever my insurance didn't pay. Come to find out I've now got a 1,500$ loan I need to pay off now. Not only that but they billed my insurance 1,100$, my insurance paid $688 leaving me a remaining balance of 388$ to pay out of pocket. So I call and Julie tells me my total bill was 1,800$. Keep in mind I made an on-site payment of 225$ the day of my wisdom tooth removal. What won me over is the front desk lady told me they had a special for 1st time patients including exam and X-ray for 149$. Come to find out I took some sort of special x ray that is 300$ +. They didn't tell me that but of course they hit me with "I signed that I did". I fell for hidden fees. Please read anything they give you as what they say in person is not what it says on paper. I'm just confused how my total bill was 1800 but they bill my insurance 1100 and charge this loan of 1500 I'm now stuck in. Plus nearly 400$ more I need to pay out of pocket not including the 225$ I already paid. Any recommendations on how yo move forward with this? read more

The hygienist was very thorough and professional. The issue I had was the dentist who examined me stated I needed to replace three fillings with crowns, and that one tooth had to be taken care of right away. He did not tell me the risks for the procedure or that I could choose not to have it done. I made an appt. with another dentist for a second opinion. This dentist did not recommend the procedure at all. read more

This was my second time visiting Dr. Braithwaite and it was THE VERY BEST experience I've had with a dentist (and I even had to have a crown and a couple fillings!) I have so much dental anxiety and he was very patient and explained everything and told me everything was my decision and wouldn't try to push anything on me. The office staff was absolutely fantastic and so welcoming. Totally changed my view of going to a dental office. read more
