These guys are awesome! My husband and I are visiting Monterey this week on vacation. While picnicking out on the coast, my temporary crown came out! This was a real emergency as we live several hundred miles away. I called CCDC on our way back to the hotel. The office was so understanding of my predicament. They got in first thing in the morning to submit my temporary crown back on. At the office comments the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. They did an excellent job putting things back together for me so my husband and I can enjoy the rest of our vacation! read more

Moved into town recently and had to find a new dentist. Walked in here an had such a horrible experience and really didn't appreciate how the receptionist was talking to me completely disrespectful and unprofessional. I'll be taking my family and I's business elsewhere!! read more

Central Coast Dental Care in Monterey is by far the best Dental facility that I've ever gone to. Everybody is friendly and smiling but the reason it's such a great dental organization is because of their doctor. Their main dentist Dr. Singh is quite frankly is an incredible dentist. No dentist I've have had over decades comes close to Dr. Singh. I use this Dental Office and Dr Singh even though they're out of network for my very good dental insurance, because of his exceptional skill and expertise -- that's how good he is. I highly recommend them for anything from a cleaning to an implant. They're absolutely first class! And besides, having the best dentist I've ever worked with their staff is unbelievably friendly and useful. If you're looking for a dentist, Dr. Singh on lighthouse Avenue in Monterey is the best. read more

I had an appointment cancelled without any notification. They stated it was too soon for a cleaning (according to my insurance plan), however, my insurance covers cleanings 3x/yr. I've had other issues like them switching dentists w/o notice and having to leave the office w/o teeth because the machine that makes them broke. read more

I recently had a crown done here and couldn't be happier with the care and professionalism I received. The entire staff was friendly and attentive, and they made sure I was comfortable the whole time. The dentist explained everything clearly, worked with great precision, and followed up afterward to ensure everything felt right. My new crown looks and feels completely natural. Highly recommend this office for anyone needing quality dental work and a genuinely caring team. read more

They say that they take emergencies. They didn't take my emergency, so there's that. I was told they were closing in 20 minutes. (It was around 420pm.) Here on Yelp it says they close at 5pm. They told me I could make an appointment. But again, that's not how emergencies work. Just truly a total bummer of an experience. read more

I had one of my upper front teeth cracked, and required a crown I apologize for not remembering the Dentist name he was Indian from India. Absolutely fantastic dentist. I would highly recommend their complete staff and especially that particular dentist he did a great job price was very fair. Service was excellent. read more

I do not reccomend this place. Bad work done with my tooth. The care was not sufficient. Experience with staff was not helpful! Bad work done by the dentist after 3 years of onlay came off big piece and tooth was rotten for long period of time becouse of debriece coming inside bfore that paid a visit at the office after a while work done but doctor singh says it is not bad but turn out bad becouse tooth was rotten inside when big piece cqme off of the onlay part. Very bad experience. read more

I am so happy I finally found a new dental office! Literally everyone in the office is a breath of fresh air to deal with. They are kind, they welcome you, and make you feel comfortable. It shows that the owner of this practice, cares very much about their patients. From the way the office is designed to the lovely people running it... you can tell they absolutely care about your experience at their office. I wanted to mention everyone that made my visit so special: Alexis Jenna Abel Maria Araceli And my doctor, Dr. Shruthi My dentist was attentive, and didn't make me feel rushed. I haven't had a good experience at a dental office since I moved out here... so, it was nice to have such a great experience at this office. There is much more I can say about this practice except, if you're looking for a new dentist, I'd give this place a try. You'll be thankful you did! I am!!!!! read more

I've been going here for about 6 years and it's still the only place I can trust. Even started bringing my wife here recently and she loved it. Today I had to bring my 9 month old daughter in with me today which was super inconvenient but I had no one to watch her during my appointment, the staff was super patient and understanding. The people here are great. Recommend. read more

I recently became a new client at this dental office and it has been an amazing experience so far! This office is clean, amazing staff, and doctors! 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a new dentist. read more

Well we went in for an appointment for $99 consultation for my dad for implants. However, the examination we received was not clear as to why the Dr. Sumeet Singh couldn't get fixed or adjusted. All we got was "it's a failed implant and I won't touch it." No other suggestions, hope or consultation as how to adjust other than check with your old dentist. He didn't even look at his mouth ... 5 minute consultation $99 & Only looked at x-ray. Very poor bedside manner. read more

Dr. Kaur completely ruined my bite by putting in crowns that didn't fit well. She then blamed me and said my teeth shifted, which is impossible because my retainers from before the crowns still fit. Dr. Kaur then had the audacity to offer to redo 1 crown for free and charge for the second one when she caused these issues. When I called back and told her I'd be leaving a 1 star yelp review she changed her tune and said she would do both for free. However, this isn't the first time she would have to redo crowns for me, she redid one that she messed up previously (for free) and then that tooth got an infection under it and I had to pay her husband Dr. Singh to do a root canal on it. I have spent thousands of dollars with this dentist to leave completely unhappy and with a bite that is so messed up that my straight teeth need Invisalign on them AGAIN. My family also saw these dentists and have had to leave as well for similar issues. BEWARE AT ALL COSTS. read more

I have nothing but nice things to say about this office and everybody working in it. I've received high-quality care that doesn't break the bank, consistently friendly attitudes, intelligent and honest dentists and staff, and awesome schedule availability. Five-star service every time. read more

I went to Central Coast Dental for a full evaluation of my mouth to determine all the dental work needing to be done in addition to inserting two implants. I chose Central Coast Dental because Sumeet Singh assured me he offered a 'one stop shop.' The dentist who was treating me for 3 years prior was not able to do so. Relying on his assurances and after his evaluation, he asked me if I wanted to proceed with extraction of one tooth and two implants. He assured me that no other dental work was required. In my opinion, it became clear very quickly that money is more important than patient care or comfort. I was required to pay the initial evaluation fee of $120.00 before the services were performed. I was required to pay the full fee he quoted verbally of $10,000 for one extraction and two implants in advance even though the dental services would be performed over a three month or so period. Now I know why. No estimate was ever given. An invoice was only given after requested. It mistakenly states limited evaluation contrary to the clearly stated reason for my visit. The final invoice was issued, with unanticipated fees added, and sent to me by snail mail despite requesting it be sent by email. Again, now I know why payment in advance is required. I received no written or meaningful pre-op or post-op instructions. No inquiry was made as to my transportation arrangements. Prescriptions were not available until the day of surgery. As I drove myself, I did not feel well enough to collect them until the next day. After a mix up (which of course the dental office blamed on the pharmacy), I was finally able to get my prescriptions in the afternoon the day after surgery. Sumeet and his office staff never followed up to ask if I got the prescriptions and how they were working for me. Both upset my stomach so I didn't take them. I found out later (independently of Central Coast Dental) the antibiotics were strongly advised whereas my Google search (in the absence of instructions from the dental office) indicated they were optional. Within two days after surgery, my chin turned black and yellow bruises were crawling up my cheek and down my neck and my jowls were terribly swollen. I texted the office with the pictures expressing concern for both extensive bruises and swelling. I was told: "Bruising is common, just continue with ice packs. If it doesn't improve by monday, give us a call." I didn't realize the office was closed on Friday. They didn't care anyway. They never called Monday or any day to inquire as to how I was doing. Two weeks after surgery, I went for my follow up appointment. I expressed concern with how I had been treated. Sumeet said: if I lost confidence in him and his office, I should go somewhere else and he would refund monies. (Again, now I know why payment in advance is required.) Sumeet made a comment in passing that a tooth next to one implant might fail. When I questioned why this had not been determined when he did his initial evaluation, he claimed he only did a limited evaluation. I was surprised stating that I had expected a full evaluation, why was he just then identifying other issues?! He replied that he only looked at the implant site. What? I had asked and been assured of a full evaluation. In any event, I couldn't help thinking, the tooth he said would fail was right next door to the implant site and he didn't notice? Yes, I lost confidence in the office. I was lucky to get a second opinion from Monterey Peninsula Dental. They conducted a detailed evaluation (as I had asked of Sumeet) and gave me a detailed treatment plan with estimate of all fees for treatment. I had a very unpleasant call with Sumeet stating I had lost confidence in him and stating I was accepting his offer of a refund. I requested refund of the amount needed for Monterey Peninsula Dental to complete the work of the two implants. He refused. He called me unprofessional. I don't have to be professional. I am the patient. He asked me if I was threatening his license. Only he would know the answer to that question. He held the power because he was holding payment in full. Money rules. I finally received a final invoice reflecting additional, unanticipated fees were deducted from my pre-payment of $10,000 payment. Again, no estimate was given to me. This invoice was sent by snail made despite my request it be sent by email. In addition, it has taken almost two weeks (and I still don't have assurances) of a credit against the financed amount and adjustment in the amounts due and payable. Again, it is clear why payment in full is required in advance. I have been traumatized by the manner in which I was mistreated and abused by Sumeet and his staff. I now have the additional burden of paying approximately $1467.00 more for the same work by an alternative provider. In my opinion, beware as money rules over compassion, kindness, patient care or comfort. read more

I want to thank Dr. Sumeet Singh for the incredible cosmetic procedure he did on my front teeth which gave me my smile back. At the age of 77, I was unsure if I should spend the money on dental cosmetics so late in my life, but Dr. Singh made it affordable. His staff is very friendly and so accommodating. I will be going to Dr. Singh for all my future dental care! read more

After months of delay I agreed to stay even though they couldn't figure out insurance but today took the cake. They called me to reschedule an appointment that was already delayed, until January. Bad customer service. read more

Although I have received great work here, the doctor did ask me to leave the review while I was sitting in the chair. The more I think about it it does not sit well with me. I'm dropping A LOT OF MONEY out of my pocket here and I don't owe him or his business anything. I was going to leave a great review once all of my work was done before he asked me to leave a review. Great work on my mouth, super happy with that, but pressuring me to write a review after I had four wisdom teeth pulled out just is not sitting right. That being said I will keep him as my dentist and will keep coming here for future dental work. read more

So I broke a tooth a while back and since I have bad dental anxiety never really wanted to get it fixed since I was never in pain. More recently the tooth in question started becoming brittle and breaking piece by piece so I figured it was time to get it fixed. My insurance had recommended this place and it is close to home so I gave it a shot and I'm glad I did. All of the staff, not one or two, but all of the staff was very friendly and helped ease my anxiety. As far as Dr. Rice, this guy is amazing. Answered all my questions and concerns while explaining which option was best for my scenario. The actual procedure was fast, efficient and best of all pain free. Highly, highly recommend this place for your dental needs. 10 Stars out of 5!! read more

Very happy with Dr. Rice...I don't do good at dentist big baby, but this was painless even novacaine shots. I highly recommend Central Coast Dentists. read more

Note: this is a copy/paste of my Google review 11 months ago - the interaction was so terrible that I just realized I should also post it on Yelp. Treated me like cattle. I waited probably an hour just for a dentist to just walk in and say "anyway we're gonna be removing your molars - and you have this problem and that problem etc." all without even looking me in the eyes. Then when I responded, he tried shaming me to agree to the molars removal. The diagnostic list they gave me was absurd, totaling over $5000 when I just expected to get work done on a cavity or two. There was nothing they wouldn't try to push on me. They had the audacity to diagnosis ALL FOUR OF MY MOLARS as "impacted" despite them having grown in perfectly (you can clearly see it on my xray) Scam artists. Avoid. Went to Monterey Peninsula Dental Group and got the (actually) necessary work done for $400 w/Dr. Falkel. read more

Never thought I'd be giving a 5-star rating to a dentist, but here I am - living the dream. After recently moving to the area and having gotten a little relaxed with my brushing routine during the Pandemic, I figured it was a good idea to start the new year off fresh with a cleaning. Making an appointment for the cleaning online was easy, and I received a few follow up calls to remind me of the appointment. Parking at the office was ample. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and efficient. After filling out a few new patient forms in the comfortable waiting room, I was let to the cleaning room by the hygienist right away. Jamie was friendly, efficient, and communicated what and why each step was happening. This dentist office is super high tech. I had a Matrix-style camera do a high resolution imaging of my mouth, then Jamie took "glamour shots" of each of my teeth with a wand style camera. We reviewed all of the imaging on a flat screen in the cleaning room, which was really helpful to see and understand why certain areas were being cleaned. The cleaning itself was painless. They also used a cool devise that was wayyyyy better at controlling my saliva that the old wand suction hanging off my cheek at other dentists. The only suggestion I'd have for the office to try and find a way to make it possible for people to fill out the paperwork either in advance, or on a tablet. Everything else during the visit was so high tech that having to use pen and paper to fill out forms stood out. But hey, even the pens they put out were high quality, so I can't even complain about that! Anyways, if you're looking for a dentist in the area - look no further. read more

Central Coast Dental Care - The entrance! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Monterey, California

First off..I'm a person who hates the dentist because of a horrible experience at western dental. As soon as I did some looking around and researching dental care in my area I found Pearl Dentistry in Salinas, started my journey there. The staff and doctors were amazing, friendly, welcoming..the dentist I saw there laid out all the options on how to move forward....everything I saw and experienced made me feel comfortable for the first time in 16 years after my western dental experience. After the consultation with Pearl, I was referred to Center Coast Dental in Monterey where they can administer sedation during the session (personal must for me to be sedated...period) I met with the staff in the lobby and was taken into care by Maria (Certified Dental Assistant). Maria made me feel more comfortable than I ever felt in the dentist environment, simple conversations, her demeanor, her voice..all very comforting. But all while she checked me in and calmed me down, she was focused on getting what she needed for Dr Singh as soon as he walked in. She is very professional. Dr Singh is the real deal. I loved how he come in and introduced himself and got into operation options and what's best for my personal situation. after that they got right into it and removed some teeth and infections I had. They were so effective I had to ask "is that it?" . I never once got the feeling that this I just a job for them. I think they are professionals and very passionate about their work. At this point, I won't be going anywhere else. The experience is top tier, plain and simple. These ppl are helping me get rid of the worst pain I've dealt with in 35 years. Can't wait to get my implants from Dr Singh.. -Wayman G read more

This is the worst dentist ever. I signed up to do a couple of dental treatments and the Invisalign and I somehow ended up with the extra bill 1 year after the treatment. Whenever I try to call the office I get no response. I had to end the Invisalign treatment with Dr. Singh because he does not take responsibility for his office nor returns any calls when trying to reach him. He advertises Invisalign online but choses Vivo Claro (cheaper brand). I sent an inquiry to Vivo Claro and they did not even contact me, they contacted him instead - which indicates the partnerships between the vendors and dental providers scheming patients. Go with someone who actually cares about his patients, not the business itself. read more

Like everyone I suspect, I have been afraid of going to the dentist every year. I finally met a team here in the peninsula that is kind and non-judgmental. From the first day I walked in the staff has been friendly and amazing to work with. I got what I needed done, great prices, and they work with my insurance. I highly recommend. Great hygienists! Talk to Ashley! Fyi, there is parking away from lighthouse Ave for this place. read more

This was a very positive experience. I recently moved to the area and didn't have a dentist. The staff is very friendly and professional. The location is ideal. The center is very nice. And the prices are good. Dr. Rice went above and beyond the call of duty. I had a cracked filling that he had to replace and I don't "numb" easily. With patience and perseverance, he got me to a point where I was pain-free. He also handled my anxiety about it because I had a prior negative experience with the dentist who didn't give me enough lidocaine. Run, don't walk to this dentistry. It's what everybody looks for - cleanliness, professionalism, patience, centrally located and exceptional care. read more

So I've been to this location twice now since the pandemic has started. Hands down the best dental experience I've ever had. They are also very cautious with Covid and have great procedures to follow to protect everyone. Everyone is helpful and will answer all and any questions that you have. I have to get my wisdom teeth out and I'm beyond anxious but everyone has been attentive and supportive of my feelings. I know it's something that has to get done so the rest is on me. If you're looking for a new dentist, I would HIGHLY recommend coming here. Also, they have lots of new and state of the art technology for lots of different things such as xrays. And their new Monterey office is GORGEOUS read more

Just got my teeth cleaned and boy do they shine! I hadn't come to the dentist in about a year so it's always a little nerve wracking to let a stranger chisel away at your teeth. But I had a very positive experience here. I didn't have a very long wait time and not mountains of paperwork to fill out either. As others have commented the office is brand new and is in pristine condition. The x-ray machine seem to be the latest in technological advancement and it went by pretty quickly. Not only did I get x-rays of my teeth but I also had individual pictures of my teeth as well for a thorough exam. My teeth cleaning went pretty smoothly and was quick as well. Dr Priyanka gave me some recommendations but overall I would say I had an A+ report card. It was really quite simple and easy to make an appointment and be seen right away. I think I made an appointment just two days before. They also offer evening appointments which is a rarity to get a teeth cleaning in the evening after work which I appreciate And it's much more conducive to my work schedule. They also have their own private parking lot so you don't need to deal with trying to find parking on lighthouse. Overall, great service. read more

After completing an amazing Invisalign treatment, I wanted to shine up my smile even more. I was told about Zoom whitening treatment that Central Coast offers. Maria performed my treatment and it was amazing! Maria explained everything and walked me through the process. It was painless, quick, and OMG my teeth are so white! Highly recommend Central Coast Dental Care and Zoom! read more

They took me on as a new client in Nov 2021, to fix a problem from our first dentist in Monterey. Scheduled cleanings in January then called days before the appointment to say they don't take Tricare anymore. The doctor for my one visit was amazing, but they have put so many local military folks in a bad position with no notice and it's SO incredibly frustrating. read more

Ewe! No! I will be finding a new dentist after my experience. Staff is super friendly and sweet. They do try and upsell you a lot of items, which is fine, yeah I get it everyone wants to make money. I just didn't like the dentist (some female dentist). She seemed to be in some kind of a rush and also seemed to be upset. I think I might've caught her on a bad day? She definitely rushed me and moved on. She definitely didn't take care of my teeth and I'm sorry, but i'm there for my teeth. Yeah, not going back. Hey, but Tyson was amazing! He took his time with me and was very gentle. Anyway, sorry, I need a dentist that cares about my smile. read more

Amazing staff and super clean facility they were extremely detailed in what was going on with my tooth and what needed to be done to fix it and gave me different options on what I can do. Definitely recommend them and will be going back for all my dental needs. read more

I love this facility, I just moved to the area and was looking for a new dentist to fix raggedy mouth. They did a wonderful job, treating my infected gums, performing a deep cleaning, and I'm already scheduled to have my teeth whitening. If you are looking for a new dental facility look no further the work they do is first class, the staff is best-in-class, and their equipment is state of the art. read more

Great team! Very Professional. Highly recommend for dental work!! Had a root canal and a crown. Had the permanent crown put in the same day. Other places I had to come back for the permanent crown. Thanks Central Coast Dental Care!! read more

I was so nervous when I first walked into Central Coast Dental Care on Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey. I haven't been to the dentist in several years because of a bad experience I had. Everyone was so helpful in the office and patient rooms. Aracelli was very sweet when taking xrays for me. She was very patient when I had a hard time biting down on the bitepiece. It took a handful of tries to get the best picture of my teeth. Then, when it was time to have an exam, Dr P came in and was so calm and sweet. I felt better when she talked to me as she probed my teeth for sensitivity. Ashley was awesome too. She went over my xrays and everything I needed to know about how the exam went and the cost of care in the future. She also answered all my questions about flossing, brushing, and general home health care for my mouth. I am very satisfied with the care I got after my first dental appointment in over 7 years. Thank you to EVERYONE at CCDC. Let's get my mouth healthier!!! See you soon!!! :) Danielle C. PS: I'm still nervous, but I appreciate the gentle way I was taken care of today. Also......the entire dental office is beautiful, clean and comfortable. When I had a hard time calming down, Aracelli offered to change the music for me. She put on very soothing classical music. Thank you for taking care of me and helping to make me comfortable. read more

My first visit to their new office. Dr Priyanka has become my dentist of choice. I had gone in for the finishing touches to a root canal and crown for 2 teeth. It ended up being an all day event, but all the staff, Ariacelle, Dr P, and Ashley were kind, patient, and confident that everything would be finished, today. Dr Priyanka even worked longer to save my tooth needing the second crown. They achieved their task. The new office is gorgeous, well laid out, comfortable, and easily accessible. I highly suggest, if you're looking for a dental office that is patient centric, efficient and talented, look no further. read more

As someone who is scared of the dentist. The team at central coast dental care are awesome. I had 2 teeth extractions on the 2nd and a follow up today. I was scheduled for my extraction on the 7th in seaside, but the pain was so bad I called the morning of the of Jan 2nd and they fit me in at the Marina office that day to have them removed. During the procedure Dr. Singh asked if I wanted him to explain what he was doing and I declined, but it was nice that he would have. It was done and over before I knew it. With out any pain. I can't say enough nice things about the team here. read more

This is a great place to get your teeth worked on! The staff is friendly and efficient, the dentists and techs are as well. I came in for the first time, expecting to just get xrays and then schedule the necessary work, but instead they did everything that same day! 1 crown, 1 filling and a cleaning. I'm very happy with all the work done. I highly recommend this office. read more

In my 53 years I have never had such an amazing experience at the dentist. I had severe dental phobia , hence my teeth really needed attention. They were so sweet , nurturing , patient and so competent! The dental team was phenomenal, absolute perfection, and the meticulous nature of the dentist was so awesome to observe. I was so happy to be out of pain and I look forward to following up and keeping my teeth healthy and clean with Central Coast Dental Care. read more
