I normally don't write reviews, but I genuinely felt like I had to share my experience. I had my teeth cleaned by Karen, and she was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. She was incredibly kind, patient, and thorough, but what stood out to me most was how safe and comfortable she made me feel. There's something really special about being cared for by someone who is not only excellent at what they do, but who also makes you feel completely at ease while doing it. Karen was so gentle and reassuring, and I never once felt rushed or uncomfortable. I truly left feeling grateful that I had someone like her taking care of me. She is such a sweet, compassionate, and wonderful person, and I'm genuinely looking forward to having my teeth cleaned by her again. I couldn't recommend her more. THANK YOU Karen read more

The office consists of efficient and friendly people. They get you in and out, and do a good job with the dental cleaning. Highly recommend!

1. The staff are super friendly, efficient and just wonderful! 2. As a new patient, they schedule you for X-ray and a scan of your teeth/ mouth 3. Dr. Bunker is so pleasant, he examines you then proceeds with discussing his findings using the scan of your teeth, making it easier to understand the plan 4. The scheduling of appointments is super simple, they work with you! Overall, a very great experience!!! read more

Carmel Mountain Dentistry - Veneers!! - General Dentistry Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

This dental office is in-network and accepts my insurance, but they still overcharged me for a deep cleaning. The pricing is very unreasonable. The dental assistant was also very unprofessional--she caused me a lot of pain while making my crown, and it wasn't even done right. They told me to come back the next day to redo it. I do not recommend this clinic. read more

Was referred to Dr. Bunker by my implantologist re: difficulty flossing that could not be addressed by my regular dentist. I was able to make a timely appointment, and arrived a bit early to complete the intake questionnaires. The staff was not happy to see me since I arrived during their lunch break, but was courteously shown to a room to wait. Dr. Bunker listened to my unusual story respectfully, patiently and thoughtfully, then offered a way to try to fix the problem. And in 10 minutes he did! How I wish he could be my regular dentist! Dr. Bunker is kind, obviously more competent than most dentists, and had my best interest at heart. A mensch: caring, upright, dependable, honest, and VERY GOOD at what he does. read more

I was very pleased with my initial visit to this dentist office. I had exam done by dentist, X-rays & dental scan & then a thorough cleaning. I have no dental insurance so I was relieved at the reasonable pricing. Goid job everyone!! read more

Everyone at Carmel Mountain Dentistry takes excellent care of me and my family, from scheduling to greeting cleaning to checkups and procedures! read more

Dr. Bunker and his team provide attentive dental care in a friendly manner, without the attitude and without constant up-selling pressure and scare tactics. Dr. Bunker's office stands out in getting the seemingly mundane back-office and billing right, particularly for patients using insurance. Office manager Andi brings years of relevant experience in procedures that other offices struggle with. Patients are told what paperwork to expect from the insurers, etc. and do not experience erroneous billing and similar common issues. read more

I just want to give kudos to all the staff. They are very friendly and professional. Bunker is great and I appreciate all the time he devotes to me and I feel like I am being personally taken care of by him. I just wished I lived closer to them, but I do plan on staying with them as long as possible - great people!!! read more

I think I finally found my spot! I came here after being recommended from a close friend of mine. I had 4 bi-annual appointments which were fine, no complaints. But recently, I had to choose a different day than my typical day of the week and got paired with Dr. Qaisar. I had my cleaning done and was treated magnificently and wasn't shamed when she found a small cavity. I showed up today to get my filling and from the moment I sat in the chair to when I paid for my filling, it took 22 minutes....22! The fastest, easiest, and most fun (what??) filling appointment I've ever had. I'm glad to have been paired with her because her and her assistant were absolutely wonderful! read more

This office is literally the best dental office I have been to in a long time. The staff is very friendly and polite and the dentist is 10/10. He is friendly and does great work. He is very gentle with his hands, and I had zero pain or discomfort in his care. I will definitely be back for future dental work. Highly recommend read more

Dr. Bunker and the entire team are awesome! My long time dentist retired and I had a couple of dentists in between and thank goodness we found Dr. Bunker!!! Will be continuing with him until he retires. He is the best!! read more

Wonderful caring dentist and staff. My previous dentist retired, he was my dentist for 29 years. I found Dr. Bunker's reviews on Yelp. I knew from just calling for an appointment that I had found the right place because all my questions were answered and they were able to get me in for an exam in just two days to begin the process for fixing my broken bridge. When my turn came for the exam the office staff, the dental assistant and Dr. Bunker were so friendly that my usual white knuckle stress at the dentist subsided right away. I love that they all have a lot of experience. They are also very kind. I left the office knowing everything I needed to know about the cost of the procedure, my dental insurance coverage, and with confidence that I have found the right dentist. If you want a thorough review of your dental health with a dentist who clearly has a wealth of experience and you want to know up front, without any hidden agendas what it will cost, I recommend Carmel Mountain Dentistry. read more

Thank you Dr. Bunker for taking care of all of my family members. We all appreciate all the great work and help you give to all three of our family's. You're a blessing to have as a dentist!!!! . read more

Dr. Bunker and his team are an excellent place to go for any dental needs. They are extremely friendly, professional, and caring. Dr. Bunker has been my dentist for many years and all the work he has done for my family, and I have been outstanding. You can't go wrong here. The team is the best I've ever had, and I would never consider going anywhere else for dental care. read more

My husband and I were search of a new dentist due to being unhappy with the care at our previous dentist. A friend recommended Dr. Bunker and I am so relieved I followed through with switching. Dr. Bunker and his team are phenomenal! They were all so welcoming, friendly, and we immediately felt like we had been patients there for years with how comfortable Dr. Bunker made us feel. I will absolutely recommend him to everyone I know. Side note: Andy is the one who solidified my decision to make my first appointment. She was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful when I first called. She follows through and has excellent communication. read more

I had to find a new dentist that took my insurance and I could not be happier. Dr. Bunker and his staff were all very friendly and helpful. He took scans of my teeth besides x-rays and we were able to discuss now and later options. Overall, I am very impressed! read more

11/20/2023 I have been coming to this office for a few years now, and I have always found it to be a clean, professional, and friendly experience. Dr. Bunker and his staff are experts in their profession. They know the latest in dentistry techniques and equipment. They help keep my mouth healthy and clean. Isn't that the reason we are supposed to go to the dentist? I highly recommend Dr. Bunker. read more

I started with Dr. Bunker in the middle of getting implants. I'm really pleased with the results. The staff had to coordinate with other offices where the work had begun to get images and background of what had been started. They were key in restarting the process for me. There are also several hygienists on staff and they're all good. They've shared tips with me on brushing that made a big difference on effectiveness. And everyone is really nice. read more

I've been coming to this dental office for several years now and I love how the staff at the front desk has been the same people. Very welcoming and friendly. From the dentist to the dental assistants, they have always been kind, performed a very good job and informed me of work they recommended I get done on my teeth in a professional way. I'm sure everyone has experienced a dental office that annoys you, but from start to finish, this office has never annoyed me and has only been great vibes. read more

Great staff, professional, knowledgeable! Always a pleasant experience each visit. Office is very clean

we love this dental office. They have the greatest staff, everyone is upbeat and 100% knowledgeable in their field. We've been going to Dr. Bunker since he started at this location. Our adult children continued with him when they became independent. He still has the same staff he started with, so that tells you a lot about the dynamics in this office. The dental work is excellent, from cleanings to the big stuff (implants etc) Office support is very, very good. I dont know how many times we've said we love this dental office, seriously, they are top notch. We recommend them with confidence. read more

As always, a five-star visit all the way around! The entire staff is always welcoming and professional from beginning to end!

The best dentist, with the most caring staff. Always make you feel comfortable. Beautiful office, very convenient.

I can't believe it has been 8 years since my last review. Everything I said in 2015 still holds true, except that it has been reaffirmed with dozens more visits, all of which went just as well. Moreover, since 2015 I've referred an estimated 10 friends, co-workers, and of course family that all share the same opinion. Notably important to update is that most the core staff that gave off the wonderful impressions in my initial review, are still there. It's not surprising as there is always a great buzz and friendly vibe amongst them all, including Dr. Bunker. These folks genuinely enjoy their jobs, and each other. Two things that have changed for me since 2015: 1) I now live more than a half hour away, but make the trek anyway. I would even if it were a full hour. 2) A few years back I switched to traditional insurance. Dr. Bunker creates treatment plans that keep my limits and co-pays in mind, and Andi works hand in hand with him to keep him apprised of what those values are. Andi also takes the time to help me review plan choices that will work best for me when renewals come up. Same for my adult daughter who is on a discount plan. For anyone that does not have a solid dentistry relationship, give CMD a try. You'll become a lifer too. Actually, even if you are happy somewhere else, give them a try anyway - I'm betting you'll switch. read more

Dr.Bunker is very patient and articulate about the treatment options so you can have all information necessary to make the decision. His staff and front desk personnel are very attentive to make sure everything is taken of. read more

There's a new dentist that took over Carmel mountain dentistry and he seems like he legitimately cares about the community. I haven't received services here but can say that my former review was basically for a different company at this point. read more

I've been getting work done here since the end of last year (December 2022) and everyone there are pretty amazing especially Dr Bunker. He is a very caring and compassionate dentist who wants the best for his patients. The PSR ladies are amazing too becuz they're always so helpful. andi helped me with a payment plan and they are lenient and understanding financial as well. The dental assistants and hygienist are also super nice and they explain everything thoroughly. I have intense dental anxiety and everyone here at this dentist office always help me leaving 100 times happier and cared for. 5 stars for you guys! read more

Our family of five (2 adults, 3 kids) all recently went to Carmel Mountain Dentistry and all had a really good experience there. Since we were all there at the same time, (the office put in the extra effort to accommodate my request to schedule appointments for us all on the same day which made it so much more convenient for us!) we were seen by a few different hygienists and each one was great. Dr. Bunker himself is awesome. He is so friendly and instantly puts you at ease, explaining things clearly in a way that is easy to understand without being condescending, don't shame you if it's been too long since you've seen the dentist and need some work done (which we did) and he is very gentle (but still quick!) when working in your mouth. I was especially impressed with how well he did with our two youngest kids (ages 6 and 9). They really struggle with anxiety at medical appointments and didn't have any issues at all! I'm sure that was due to having Dr. Bunker being so kind and patient with them and putting them at ease. This office is great for all ages, I'm glad that we found a dentist we can trust and have a good experience with! read more

I went in to get Zoom! Whitening yesterday. I've never had professional whitening done before so I was curious. They had a special on their website for $175 so I decided to go for it. I already filled out my new patient paperwork ahead of time so all I had to do was read over the Zoom! consent before we started. Bianca was the dental assistant that did my Zoom! and I loved her! She was really friendly and made me feel comfortable with the entire process. She explained every single step she was doing and made sure I was okay with everything. It was three 15 minute sessions. They reapply the gel after each session. I read that people get sensitive and zingers but I was lucky enough to not get any! After the session, I was paired with another dental assistant. I didn't get her name but she was wearing a green knit cardigan. She was super sweet as well and gave me the run down on how everything will feel and how to maintain my teeth. The final results? My teeth only got a slight tinge whiter. Not much of a difference at all. Barely noticeable. I'm pretty disappointed but everyone is different so I guess my teeth don't like whiteners. I definitely got zingers throughout the rest of my day afterwards and my teeth became very sensitive in the evening. Would I get it again? Probably not. I am only giving this place stars because of their wonderful dental assistants! read more
