I've been going to Ocean Beach Dental for the past seven years, and I've been highly satisfied with…read morethe experience and the care I've received from Dr. Aaron, Amanda, and the hygienist team. Every time someone I know mentions that they're looking for a dentist (which happens a lot, since San Diego is so transient and I'm constantly meeting people who have recently moved here), I'm quick to recommend Ocean Beach Dental! I originally checked them out on a friend's recommendation after she found them on Yelp, so it's high time I wrote my own Yelp review. Since I'm one of those lucky people who has never had cavities (or really any dental issues to speak of, at least not yet), I'm mostly just here for cleanings. However, I did opt to get retainers and later Invisalign with OB Dental, which was a positive experience. One thing I really like is that the office has evening hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays (until 7pm), which is helpful with a 9-5 work schedule. Also, Dr. Aaron is personable and caring. He always answers my questions thoroughly and makes sure I feel good about the next steps before he moves onto the next patient. This is a family practice, and they're easy to work with and schedule appointments with. My dental health and hygiene have greatly improved in the time that I've been regularly coming here. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Well after 23 plus years I finally have found the BEST DENTIST EVER!!! I literally drive an hour to see him he's that amazing. Dr.Liciaga is a straight shooter a perfectionist. You could tell he truly loves what he does bye his happy go lucky personality. He handled my anxiety like never before, never felt the needle when he numbed me. I absolutely love his gentle demeanor and how he is very thrall in explaining every detail before going forward. He will make sure you understand and agree. I will recommend him to everyone. I'm so happy I finally found my Dentist that I will be going to for the rest of my life. The office staff are super nice and friendly, always been so wonderful, professional and welcoming.. For the first time in 23+ years I actually look forward to my dentist appointments. I can't express how happy I am to have found.Dr. Pablo Liciaga.

Each…read moretime I go, I think I have to write a review because she is pure quality as is her entire staff from front desk to dental hygienist to dental assistant -- they are all fabulous. One thing I really like is there is no upselling. I was talking with a few of my friends recently and we had all experienced a wild upselling experience from a dentist. If Dr. Hilliard says you need something done; you need it done and you'll get an estimate of what you will need to pay and what the insurance will pay. Another wonderful part of any experience when I visit, they are so gentle and the results are great. I highly recommend Sunset Cliffs Dental. Karen B.

As someone who has dealt with significant dental issues over the past 10 years, I can confidently…read moresay this was the worst treatment I have ever received at a dental office. The only consistently kind, professional, and personable person I encountered at this office was Luis at the front desk. He was wonderful every time I came in. I visited Smile Designers three separate times: once for a cleaning and twice for extractions with bone grafts. I genuinely tried to give the doctor multiple chances because I understand that everyone can have an off day. Unfortunately, after three visits, the same pattern of dismissive, rushed, and unprofessional treatment continued. I initially chose this office because it was one of the only offices in my area that accepted my insurance. During my cleaning, the dental assistant/hygienist did not speak to me at all. She never explained what she was doing, checked on my comfort, or told me how to signal if I needed her to stop. The cleaning felt extremely aggressive and rushed, and her demeanor came across as irritated and demanding. My second visit was for an extraction and bone graft. The doctor had virtually no bedside manner and did not explain the procedure before beginning. What concerned me immediately was that he entered the room and asked me what he was doing that day. I would expect the dentist performing an extraction to have reviewed my X-rays and treatment plan beforehand. He then numbed me without explaining what he was doing or giving me any way to indicate that I needed him to pause. I have been numbed many times at dental offices, so I know the process, but this felt unusually rushed and heavy-handed. After numbing me, he promptly left the room. I was left sitting there while saliva accumulated in my mouth. After trying to get someone's attention without success, I actually ended up using the suction myself. When the doctor returned, he simply told me to open my mouth. He did not ask whether I was ready, explain what was about to happen, or establish any signal I could use if I needed him to stop. At one point, I heard him tell the assistant, "hold her tongue back," and he proceeded with the extraction. Once the tooth was removed and the bone graft completed, the doctor left the room without giving me any aftercare instructions whatsoever. I sat there confused until a staff member laughed and told me, "you can go." I went to the front desk crying because I had no idea what I was supposed to do after the procedure. I asked for aftercare instructions and whether I needed antibiotics. The doctor never came back out to speak with me, and I was simply told to take ibuprofen. About a month later, I returned because I needed another tooth removed. Unfortunately, the experience was very similar. This time, the male dental assistant working during my procedure was talking and joking with other staff while the extraction was taking place, to the point that the doctor had to remind him to stay focused. After the tooth was removed, the assistant began commenting that he believed part of my tooth had been left behind. The doctor corrected him and explained that what he was seeing was part of my jawbone. Having an assistant speculate like that while I was still in the chair was incredibly unsettling. Then, without saying anything or warning me, the assistant took a paper towel and aggressively wiped my face. Once again, after the extraction and bone graft, I was given essentially no aftercare instructions. About a week later, I developed severe pain and sought a second opinion from another dental provider. That provider recommended antibiotics and expressed surprise that I had not been prescribed them following my procedure. I am leaving this review because I would want someone else to know what they may be walking into. If your insurance assigns this office as your primary dental location, I strongly recommend asking whether you can change providers. My biggest issue was not simply that the appointments were unpleasant. It was the complete lack of communication, patient reassurance, explanation, and basic bedside manner during invasive dental procedures. I repeatedly felt as though procedures were simply being performed on me rather than anyone actually caring for me as a patient. The best way I can describe the experience is that it felt like being at a mechanic shop, except you are the car. I am genuinely appalled by the way Dr. Hage communicated with and treated me throughout these visits, and I would never return to this practice. Luis, however, deserves recognition for being the one consistently positive part of my experience at Smile Designers. Thank you for always being kind, helpful, and professional. You're the best.

I filled out the paperwork ahead of time and was able to walk right in and see the dentist. There was about 8 people in the waiting room and all of them seemed to be seen pretty quickly. I know they have 8 dentist chairs and possibly more because there was a back area that I didn't see. I quickly got an xray and was seated in the one of the chairs which is more cubical style. So don't expect a ton of privacy. Nurse / assistant came in and got me settled and then the doctor came in and read my teeth charts. After a few tests they diagnosed me and set me up with another appointment in 10 days. I finalized what I needed with the front desk who was super chill. I was skeptical on the quality of service when I saw it had multiple locations but honestly it really went great - at least how they treated me. Now I have to come back and finish my services but I feel much more confident in them.
