In October, I went to CJ Dental in Vista, CA for a second opinion. Without taking X-rays or obtaining proper consent, the dentist extracted two teeth and placed two unusual implants that no other dentist I've consulted has used. No CBCT (3D) scan or other measurements were taken to ensure correct implant sizing or placement. The implants punctured my sinus cavity, and I have suffered monthly sinus infections since the procedure. The crowns were improperly attached (glued below the post), and I have since experienced bone loss and gum recession. I have consulted multiple specialists over the past year, and they have confirmed the implants were improperly placed and cannot be removed without serious risk, including removing part of my sinus. The dentist ignored my email requesting help, refused to offer a refund, and has shown no accountability. Other patients I know have also reported harm from this dentist, and he appears to have high staff turnover. I have lived in constant pain since the procedure. You wont get much help filing a complaint, but don't give up. read more

CJ Dental - second option - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Vista, California

RUN!!! AVOID!!! This quack told me he had eradicated the gum disease through laser treatments, and to keep aloe vera on my gums. Shortly thereafter, I started experiencing similar issues again and sought out a second opinion. The appointment revealed the gum disease was completely out of control and there was no way to save the area that had been "cured" by the Quack . The roots and surrounding gum tissue needed STAT attention. I had to have four lower teeth pulled, and a bridge installed. $4000 worth of work!! Do yourself a favor go see somebody else ! read more

My son went tbere last year and had a mouth piece made that has never properly fit. I also went for a consultation but never went back. Yesterday I received 5 texts and 4 phone calls in an hour and a half from their "sales team". I never responded to any of then. It's 7:30 am and I just got another text. They are not even open yet and their sales person is texting me. When I had my consultation after the dental part you sit down with a sales person. If felt like when you buy a car. It was so strange. And they push you to sign a contract which I absolutely didn't. After all the calls and texts yesterday from the same person he is obviously getting commission if he signs me up. They are vultures do not go there. read more

I left a review at the beginning of my implant process, as promised, I am updating my review to cover my full-time of treatment. I do not have any negative things to say about this clinic or anyone working here, from my first visit to my fitting of my implant everything was absolutely wonderful. It is very wild The prices that Dentist want for implants and I thought that CJ dental's price was way too good to be true but here I am about nine months after I started, with my implant in for about 3 months with no issues (I had an x-ray with my primary Dentist to check the implant and it was beautiful) Honestly look no further, I absolutely hate going to the dentist but this was the best dentistry atmosphere ever. Unfortunately, another one of my teeth has cracked and needs to be extracted so I will be visiting them again very soon. read more

CJ Dental - This is a view that includes my implant. Very happy! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Vista, California

I went through nearly three years of back-and-forth treatment for three dental implants with this dentist, and unfortunately, it turned into a very difficult and painful experience. The work was poorly done and led to ongoing complications, including infections. Each time I raised concerns, I was told it was "my body," even though I had previous implant work done elsewhere without any issues. The implants had to be removed and reinserted multiple times, causing unnecessary pain and stress. Eventually, I sought help from another dentist, who clearly identified several problems with the original work. I had to pay significant out-of-pocket costs to fix the damage and redo the implants properly--far more than what it would have cost to go to a qualified and experienced dentist from the beginning. When I asked for a refund, the situation became very stressful. There were even instances where his wife threatened to call the police simply because I was requesting my money back. After persistent follow-up, I did receive a partial refund, but it did not come close to covering the full cost of correcting the mistakes. In my experience, there also seemed to be frequent turnover among front office staff, and I did not feel treated with professionalism or respect throughout the process. I understand the dentist has since moved his practice to San Marcos and is working with other dentists, but based on my experience, the quality of care and treatment was deeply concerning. If I had read reviews beforehand, I would have avoided this experience entirely. I strongly encourage others to carefully research before choosing a dentist, never recommend this dentist at all. This dentist had or have an office in vista and now he is working in San Marcos. read more

DR. CARLOS, the owner of this practice , is a nice man, however I do not recommend. His work is not lasting and quality is lacking. I wasted a lot of time and money on impants that failed repeatedly. I drove a long way to see him because his prices are good but I did not have a good result. His implants failed , 2 of them literally fell out and 3 others came loose and needed tightening. Numerous issues have resulted from his work. His wife worked there on and off and she did a good job running the office but the rest of his staff turns over often. Since going to him for a couple years, my bite has gotten extremely off. I now have constant jaw pain and chewing issues. When I first consulted with CJ Dental , I was missing one tooth. Now I am missing several. After a subsequent consultation I was told several teeth he crowned were not sealed properly and they need to be replaced. 2 other dentists have advised me start over and remove the crowns he did. He also double charged me in an incident that was never credited to me. He was made aware of this and so was his front desk on several occasions yet no credit was issued. I caution anyone considering CJ Dental. Tamara Wilson read more

Worst implant experience at CJ Dental under Carlos Sibaja who has no ratings according to the Better Business Bureau BBB. In his reviews naturally he blames the patients as usual and retaliates against patients due to negative reviews causing a hostile environment when I was advised to notify the local Sheriff's Department to retain all my Dental Records to go elsewhere to properly continue and fix his faulty work. PLEASE BEWARE ‼ read more

Quack! I went to ER after seeing him for dental work. Her drilled to far in or something! After the cat scan at Kaiser i was given a morphine drip. Like an idiot i paid up front! Call the Credit Card people right when I got home and he had already ran it through !Cause that's what they wanted! He got dental board complaints and he blocks me from facebook when I warn people don't do it read more

Horrible! Don't know how they're still in business. My dad was hospitalized three times because his tooth kept getting infected, this place should be shut down. read more

It took a year for my dental implants to be completed. Thanks to Dr. Sibaja and Patricia for taking good care of me!!! .

Dental services. This dental office group is absolutely amazing. I'm 71 years old and stopped taking care of my teeth because of the high costs. Thus is bitca fancy office bur the minute I walked in I was comfortable. I had 9 teeth extracted, fillings and one crown oh yeah and a deep clean all at once. I had it done all at once here. A few good shots and it was over. No real pain afterwards.. Dr. Carlos Sibaja has an awsome chairside manor. Went back today to get my Partial fittings today. So extremely happy. I give him a 5 rating read more

Update - he charged for work in advance does not take insurance. I went to get implants and was charged for implants and crowns in advance. He did the implants wrong and I ended up in the hospital with sepsis- full body inflected through my bloodstream and nearly KILLED ME!!!!!!!!!!! Most people don't survive this !!!!!!!!!!! Took me many many months bro recover . I went to another dentist and she wouldn't touch my mouth said she never seen anything like it. Went to another specialist and he said they were done wrong and he put the crowns in. Had to fuse the teeth together be CJDENTAl was NEGLIGENT ! I tried to get at least my money back from CJDENTAl for the crowns he never put in and fought my credit card care credit. He lied to the credit card company and I have to pay even though he never put the crowns in. When I told Carlos of CJ Dental he nearly killed me how I was in the hospital- he didn't care!!!!!! Laughed at me . He is a sick sick individual and should be in PRISON !!!!!!!!!! Run for your literally!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Whatever you do, do not go here. I went years ago due to having no insurance and limited newlywed income. For starters, I had wisdom tooth pulled while awake and "numbed" but felt a lot of the pain and secondly what really brings me here is my implant. DR CJ did my implant. I told him it feels loose and wiggly. He said, oh you want it to fit that way so it can breath. I just saw my now amazing dentist at vista modern and the whole staff couldn't believe any licensed dentist would say this. It wiggles and leaves room for bacteria and infection. I'm having to redo the implant. I truly think they should have to pay for the redo. The annoying thing is the front desk/ staff themselves were always nice to chat with. Which makes me think they either knowingly took advantage of patients who don't know any better or they really don't know what they are doing. I really love Vista Modern dentistry. They have payment plans too!! read more

Quality service and best prices in town. Dr. Sibaja always a good balance of fun and professional. He is the dentist I trust and am thankful for all he has done for me and my family. read more

After months of looking for an affordable dental doctor to do some cosmetic work found out CJ dental in vista Ca, went to my appointment the gentleman at the front desk very professional greeted me, couldn't help myself looking at his burgandy-bluish color covered with white flaked dandruff around his neck, he hat was shocking for me, but very professional at what he does, then the office it's a old building with a mini split on top of the wall, very old style not vintage, meet a few assistants very well managed and very professional as well and every one was talking different prices, finally went to the room to see Dr CJ talked to him briefly decided to think about the procedure I want to do, after reading all the bad reviews I am very concerned about it. I don't have nothing wrong to say about Dr CJ and associates and I don't care how the place looks as longer he does a good job, but after reading good and bad reviews don't know what to do read more

CJ Dental - Wisdom teeth - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Vista, California

Avoid this dentist !!! Three years ago, I was shopping for a good price on a dental implant. I did not have 4500 dollars and found Doctor Sibaja who told me he could do the implant at less than half of that cost by skipping the bone build up procedure. Other dentists told me that was required but I trusted Doctor Sibaja. He told me that the implant would hold securely. My regular dentist then saw the work that Sibaja had done and told me that it was faulty. I returned to his Encinitas office and he once again assured me that the implant would be fine and that removing it would be a mistake. I am now looking at thousands of dollars in damage from his faulty work. The implant has caused serious bone loss to an adjacent tooth. I will need a specialist to fix this mess. Saving some money is now costing me a fortune. Only an incompetent dentist would do this kind of lousy work. read more

CJ Dental - The implant is a mess. The circle shows how it destroyed a perfectly good tooth. - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Vista, California

Friendly staff! Doctor was knowledgeable and definitely felt comfortable during my visit.

I cannot say enough about this dental place. The dentist is exceptional and has an amazing bed side manner. I have always taken excellent care of my teeth! During a long Covid illness and a stroke I lost two teeth one you can see when I laugh half way to the back of my mouth and the other is not noticeable but hard to eat with. I had gone to another Dental group for a $50 cleaning and X-rays. They charge $5 thousand for one implant and they do no financing. So I heard of CJ Dental and they were so nice on the phone I went for a free consultation. They only charge $1700 a tooth and offer financing but we decided rather to pay cash today. Cause with financing we would have down easily but at the end of it you get charged $700 in interest. I love the dentist and his fiancé staff Lily and Michael went over all of our choices! The dress and look so professional and the two front desk clerks and dental hygienists are so nice and professional!!! Refreshing in this day and age! I hate to say it and try not to judge people but with the state of our economy people can be super grumpy. Not everyone certainly not at CJ Dental. I go to their location in Vista but they have different locations!!!! So not just five stars for this place but 10 stars from me Mary.Beach read more

I highly recommend CJ Dental. I went with my sister today to have her teeth fixed. They were professional, helpful, and we could see that they truly wanted to give her the smile she had been waiting for. They scheduled her for her appointment within a week. They helped her with getting a payment plan ( many dentists do not offer plans for payment) they started working on her teeth that day..( amazing). We knew they were there to help her. Good job CJ Dental, thank you for making my sister a very happy girl. I will be getting my teeth worked on at CJ DENTAL !! read more

They were absolutely awesome best experience I've ever had the service & the price was actually they said it would be....Would not consider anywhere else my wife is up next we gonna have the best smiles in Cali....Thanks to mike & his great staff!!! read more

I needed an implant after going thru insurance for authorization and finding a dentist to accept insurance. Insurance decided they would pay for root canal. This process took SO LONG there was just a stub and filling sticking out of my gum and still no dentist. Saw an ad on Facebook seemed to good to be true. No insurance. Totally reasonable. Great dentist!!!!! And I can smile now. Thanks read more

I would not recommend this dental clinic. The dentist removed a tooth and immediately put the post in the bone of my jaw. My body rejected the post and the dentist removed it after months. Aaron got up into my nasal cavity and I got an infection. The dentist prescribed an antibiotic's. I had to go to my own personal care provider to get help. When I told the dentist about me going to my personal care provider his attitude immediately change to scary. It felt like I was in an abusive atmosphere. I called the office and requested my money back because of the work that the Dentist did was unsatisfactory. Till this day I have continuous sinus drainage. The Stanis does not care about your satisfactory mouth care all he cares about is the income that he's bringing in. That proves it right there when his attitude change towards me. I would not go to this dentist. He don't take insurance and he's crooked read more

I gave Jennifer and Carlos $7,340 total for my upper arch. The bridge broke after 1 1/2 years. The dentist said it had been " leaking" for some time. I now have to have everything redone by someone else who is competent. I was told that a cantileaver bridge can only go forward not backward like the bridge I had. After all of that money, I left the office looking like this. read more

i've been a patient at this dentist for many years without any problems. i recently got a chipped tooth/cavity filled in, months later come to find out my filling is so deep in my tooth i got another cavity AND the filling is touching my nerve causing excruciating pain. i do not recommend this dentist, as professional as they seem they do not know what they're doing. didn't even let me know how deep my tooth was! read more

Have extreme dental anxiety so walking into their office I stood at the counter for close to 10-15 minutes. Not one person came to the counter and my hart rate was climbing. So I left! After having a mild panic attack in my truck I went across the street to a different Dental office and to my surprise it was very calm bright and nice. Very cleane and fabulous ladies at the front desk! read more

He's a quack. OK you need 85 words I went in there for a simple two implants apparently simple and he drilled two screws into my upper right messed around with my upper left don't know what he did broke a tooth and then had to pull it kept my other ones like they would do in a subpar dentist office it was ridiculous to Glooze all over my other teeth. Paid them in advance like an idiot. Ended up having to go to the emergency room with the worst headache of my life they had to put me on a morphine drip for five hours did a CAT scan of my head avoid this guy at all costs read more

Cj Dental is truely the best!!! idf you have any anxieties about the Dentist, then this is the Dentist for you! Dr Sibaja is kind, gentle and carring. He takes his time to make you feel as calm as possible. Never have i been to a Dentist and wasn't full of anxiety and ready to run out till i came to CJ Dental. The staff is just as carring as the Doctor. Ive never been as willing to take care of my teeth as i am now!! I Highly recomend this Dental office. Lesbia read more

"El Doctor Carlos" le hizo un puente a mi esposa hace dos, desafortunadamente le trabajo que hizo fue pesimo de baja calidad y sin la honestidad y profesionalismo de decir lo que actualmente estaba hecho El puente. Mi esposa solicito un puente de porcelana, desgraciadamente nos enteramos aproximadamente un año que el material no es porcelana y además el.puente que puso esta demasiado chico y no cubre devidamente como deveria ser, le quedaron aberturas y eso ocaciona que la comida se quede ahi siento muy dificil removerla, por consecuencia le a estado causando muchos problemas de infection a tal grado hace un mes estuvo a punto de Perder 3 dientes por las infecciones recurrentes, los especialista que la han atendido son los que hab dicho que el.puente que le puso el "Doctor Carlos" no es porcelana y esta muy mal hecho, no enbona de forma correctable en la calidad y deja muchos espacio abierto. Se a gastado bastante dinero por la ineptidud del "Doctor Carlos" y su bajo profesionalismo y honestidad. Si usted necesita un trabajo dental le recomiendo no vea al doctor Carlos de CJ dental por querer ahorrar dinero va a salir pagando mucho mas por un mal trabajo de baja calidad y materiales usado en el proceso. Mi esposa a gastado Mike's de dolares por el mal trabajo del "Doctor Carlos de CJ Dental" read more

Don't go to this place. If it is for wisdom tooth extraction find a different place. They don't accept insurance and expect you to pay for everything out of pocket. When I called they said insurance will cover it then when I was in the office they said they don't take any kind of insurance. They want you to purchase a plan that's $300 that makes no sense. At first I was told it was $125 per tooth extraction then was told a couple minutes later that it's $350 per tooth. Expected me to pay $650+ out of pocket the same day. No payment plan, just upfront. Office is dirty as well as client rooms. This place should be closed down. read more

I had the implant with Dr Sibaja today, thanks Doctor and the staff so much for your kindness and professional service. Doctor made the implant process so ease and not painfull at all. I am able to eat normally, and looking forward to see him again for next check up. Best wish and regards read more

SO disappointed in how things have turned out with this office. Have never been treated so poorly. This office was recommended by a trusted friend...and I had HIGH hopes that I had found a place I could go with all my dental needs. I even referred many people to this office. WHAT A MISTAKE! BEWARE of their billing. They say one thing and then change it after the work is done. DO NOT PRE-PAY for ANYTHING!!! Dr. Sabaja is charming...but then doesn't remember what he says. I thought HE WOULD be the one doing all my work. NOPE...He only did my two teeth extractions and didn't even fit the mold for the snap on smile he talked me into getting. His assistant did that and of course when they arrived...they didn't fit properly. I spent a few THOUSAND on my teeth, two extractions later...I have a set of snap on teeth I can't use...AND I'm having additional pain in two other teeth that supposedly had new fillings done. I know my teeth were in bad shape and the other dentist did the replacing of all my fillings and the deep cleaning. The other dentist also did a crown...not Dr. Sabaja. Deceptive all the way around. On the 1st visit I had a tooth extracted...and after filling out the paperwork of which I listed I was allergic to Penicillin...was GIVEN Penicillin. Why did I even fill out the form if nobody was reading it. Thankfully I read the prescription prior to having it filled. Then They say their open Monday thru Friday...NOT SO! Monday, Wed. and Friday. Yet you MUST give them 24 hour cancellation notice or they'll charge you. I had to call again and again to reach them on the phone. SO UNPROFESSIONAL!!! When I set an email instead...the owners wife leaved me a LONG WINDED message...basically reprimanding me for sending an email??? Again...so unprofessional!!! I plan on reporting my experience to the Dental Board of California not to mention seeing CJ DENTAL in court! As you might note...all the positive reviews were a few years ago. I think this place is a rip-off. They make you join their "Club" to get better prices??? It's turned out to be a HORRIBLE experience for me. And I'm embarrassed that I recommended them to my friends. read more

I called on Monday in terrible pain and Jill calmed me down and made me an appointment! They were willing to work with my insurance and able to finance what my insurance didn't cover, if necessary. No judgement, no scolding and no guilt! It's obvious that the doctor and his staff genuinely care about their patients. I believe I have found myself a new dentist! read more

Dr. Sibaja recommended Botox injections in my jaw muscles to help alleviate clenching and grinding that was causing me headaches. I have a night guard I wear to protect my teeth at night, but that doesn't stop the morning headaches, plus I clench during the daytime while stressed. I was afraid at first - I have had Botox for years in my brow, and was worried my jaw wouldn't move if I did it. He was reassuring and I tried it. It changed my life!! It was painless (where as brow injections hurt!), and I saw no weakening of my jaw, just significantly less clenching. Headaches disappeared, and I no longer needed my night guard, so I sleep better. It wore off in about 5-6 months so I just scheduled to have it done again.This dentist is very knowledgable and skilled. I'm impressed, and I highly recommend him (and I am a former dental hygienist!). Thank you Dr. Sibaja! read more

I had two implants done by a fabulous dentist in T J Mexico. I told Carlos this and asked if he could finish them because I didn't want to return to Tj. because of Personal problems. He assured me he could finish off the two implants no problem. His advertisement even states "Don't go to TJ come to CJ Dental". Be careful very careful out there folks: He tried 3 times to put my rear molar crown on.. I am not kidding . He sent my molding to his lab three times and finally gave up stating I cannot finish the work i cannot fit the crown on. OK here's the next problem. When he placed a crown on my front tooth. It came off the same day. I had to return 4 hours later. After freaking out he claimed he would put it on with permanent cement this time. I'm not kidding I yelled what the heck. Why didn't you place the crown on the first time permanently. OK check this out. After he put the tooth back on the same tooth broke in half. I swear one week later. I spent hours and days at his office while he tried countless times trying too put crowns on. I tried to save some money silly me. The stress this man caused me is ridiculous. The aggravation this man caused me. I was foolish I must admit. I tried to save some money and got totality burned. I don't know if he sterilizes his equipment. SERIOUSLY!!! Be careful very, very careful ... "Glad there is yelp for smart people to check out dentists and how they perform". I now after 4 months returned to TJ Mexico. This very professional dentist in Mexico finished my crowns. I am totally happy. I learned a major lesson: DON'T TAKE SHORTCUTS IN LIFE WHEN IT PERTAINS TO YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR MOUTH. read more

My experience CJ dental has always been exceptional. He went above and beyond to help me out with the tooth problem I was having. He removed the root of a decayed broken off tooth put in a ceramic implant. Removed with a laser a bump on roof of mouth all without pain. No pain in the next days ( I expected pain ) only a little irritation from bump removal and removal of the broken root. I took ibuprofen only that evening every thing very good I'm very pleased with the work and the extra effort, very happy. Thank you all for making me feel like you all care. It is a great feeling. read more

I'm sorry I'm not one to post bad reviews but In this dental practice CJ dental or Encinitas dental Boutique I could just not help not do it. I got treated with such disrespect the lousiest customer service I've ever experienced and the dental work done on me was terrible. It's been about six months since all this happened and I've had to get all the work redone by a different dental practice in San Diego. I had two implants installed they both broke I was such in pain and I couldn't get an appointment with them, that I had to pull them out myself. When I did finally get the appointment they refused to fix it under their supposedly guarantee and the worst thing about it is I had already paid in full. I was really mad really upset that I could let this go!! What motivated me to put this post is now I've gone to a different dentist and I saw the difference since the first day on how a customer should be treated!! My intentions are not to hurt this business but a business like this should not be in business if that's the way they're going to treat their customers I give them zero stars. Before you go to the dentist that let you know you will save money make sure they willl also save you pain, headaches and double paying. read more

I can not say enough good about the entire team at CJ Dental. I have been trying over the years to maintain good dental health, and these folks make it happen at a really affordable price. Since I am a smoker and get stains, it is often embarrising to see a dentist. Not the case here. They are there to help and treat you like a true human being. The professional knowledge and skill is the best, the people friendly and you can count on them all to take the very best care of you. I am a fan and patient for life at this place. thank you to the team and to the Doc Mike read more

I shouldn't even be giving these people any stars at all. I set up an appointment and when I got their the owner was completely rude and yelled at me and my family for being there and taking up space so she eventually kicked out half my family then didn't even see my daughter for another hour. They spent thirty minutes taking x-Rays. And now that the rest of my family had left the owner pretended to be nice to me. She's two faced. I didn't even want my daughter to see this dentistry anymore but unfortunately they were the only ones who can help. This is the first and last time I'm ever going there. "Why go to Tj when there CJ" GO TO TJ THEYLL DO SO MUCH BETTER. read more
