Always a wonderful and professional experience with Dr. Lichter. Looking forward to my next visits...thank you for all you do!

Dr Lichter and staff have taken care of me for the last 7 years. Before I go to work over seas Dr. Litcher always helps me filling out the necessary paperwork needed for me to be cleared after my dental check up. If he notes any discrepancies or dental concerns, he takes care of them in a timely manner. I would recommend Dr. Litcher to anyone needing any type of dental work. His staff are very friendly and have the best customer service skills I have seen in any dental establishment. read more

Great dentist and dental assistants. Very patient and thorough. They explain every step as they go. Worth recommending

Words cannot express how grateful I am for Dr. Lichter and his entire staff. I am not a good dental patient due to trauma I suffered from another dentist. On day one the staff made me feel very comfortable and helped me with my insurance(s). Unlike other dentist I had visited, Dr. Lichter took the "how to eat an elephant approach" (one bite at a time). We took care of the most immediate needs I had and went on from there. Now I can smile again. I highly recommend this office. read more

Derek M Lichter, DDS - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I have been driving from Mt. Helix To Dr Lichter's office for 18 years or more. I have always been greeted and treated like a family member. From the time you open the door until the time you exit his office his entire staff is very professional and always smiling. They explain what is to be done, how long it should take and make you feel comfortable. The good Doctor is very talented. He is always patient when asked about a particular procedure. I highly recommend he and his practice to anyone looking for a first class dentist office!!! read more

I had avoided the dentist for a good 4 to 5 years due to a bad experience with a dentist that routinely canceled appointments and wasn't prepared for the kind of work I needed. My husband walked into this office randomly and made us both appointments. I was skeptical, but I was presently surprised. They're kind, compassionate and accommodating. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Lichter. read more

I had a wonderful dentist and he retired. Two dentists were given to me as referrals the first one. Who took over his practice was awful. So on to the next referral which was dr Lichter I liked him a lot. lSo I've stayed with him. Also he gives happy gas which I need for the injections. Office staff is friendly professional and delightful to be with read more

Dr Lichter is an amazing knowledgeable ,caring and gentle dentist. The office staff are wonderful. I highly recommend Dr Lichter

Have been going for years! I refuse to switch dentists and I hope they remain in business for a long time. They're close to my home, and everyone there is so genuine and down to earth. Makes going to the dentist a little easier for those that hate going. read more

Probably the nicest and personable dental team I've visited. Warm, comforting and professional. This team takes the anxiety out of dental visits and secures it with a small town feel of family. Highly recommended! read more

I've been going to Dr. Lichter for over 20 years. What really made me loyal is that he would answer all my questions and explain what he was doing during any process (crowns). Also his work is excellent. Great consistent work always. In addition to the good work, the staff is great and polite. Oh.. Dr. Lichter is witty too. We always laugh when I'm there. Derek is highly accredited and certified. He will work with your insurance and budget. Side note: I had moved out of town for a few years forced to experiment with other dentists and I honestly was hard pressed to find a dentist and dentistry like this one. Ni en Tijuana. I'm not saying he is the only good one in town but I would assume top 5 in San Diego. No he's not my friend and I was not asked to write a review. I recommend him read more

The best dental service my family has ever received. We have been with him since he had take over this practice many years ago and I can, if I may, say 'Awesome" read more

I've been going to Dr. Lichter for a number of years now and my teeth have never been in better shape. (I'm 57 years old). Dr. Lichter and his staff prioritize competence and pain-control as top priorities. I literally enjoy going there for dental work! You will too! read more

So imagine when I went to his office I came out with a list of to do ... lol . Well I've been back and trying to complete my list . Dr Lichter is awesome ,approachable and does a great job ! What can I say I'm back ! And his office staff are great ! Overall highly recommend! They won't let you down!!! read more

Words cannot fully articulate my appreciation for Dr. Lichter and his wonderful staff. Ever since I set foot in his office all these years ago...(I really don't remember how long it's been. Ten years maybe?), I cannot bring myself to trust anyone else with my dental needs. I live in Normal Heights now and still travel all the way to Chula Vista to his office for my cleaning and other things teeth-related. He's a master of his craft and has an awesome personality to boot! If you're still wondering why he's the best dentist in San Diego County, visit for yourself! Just try not to get in the way of me my appointments :) read more

I discovered Dr.Lichter and his staff about a year and a half ago when I had a dental emergency. Throughout that work, and ever since, every single part of my experience with his office has been superb, including crown replacement of an old, obsolete fitting, whitening treatment, implants for my son, and routine exams and cleaning. I feel like I am going to my family's house for personal attention every time I visit, yet the techniques and technology used are state-of-the-art. Financing options available give customers flexibility and ensure great treatment is available to everyone. The front office staff are delightful and technicians are absolute professionals in their own right. It doesn't get any better! I have had numerous dentists over 35 years and will never go anywhere else. If you need any dental work, look no further. 5 stars +++ read more

As a Director with the North County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, I recommend this dentist and his entire team of professionals. I've had dental work done by (7) seven different dentists in the past, and the difference is measureable at Derek Lichter's dental practice. Reasons for my recommendation: 1. Quality patient care 2. Quality materials used 3. Level of attention to detail that only comes from a true passion for your profession read more

Dr, Lichter was recommended to me by a close friend. I had some crowns done by another denist that looked unnatural. .My appearance is important to me because our smiles do project a certain self-esteem. Dr. L. plans your procedures by spending many hours after the office is closed to review our next procedure. I always know what is ahead. He has a great=chair side manner and knowlingly aware we need to be comfortable during our procedures. I recommend Dr, Lichter to you because my front crowns are so natural looking. Another point of interest, Dr. L. will not cement a crown in unless the color is perfect. He has a great lab that works closely with him. So make an appointment and meet his experienced and friendly staff. read more

I have been a patient for the past four years. Dr. Lichter is a top notch dentist not only in using the most up to date technology but also in the ways he and his staff provide comfort to their patients. He is great about explaining services needed and providing different options to chose from. His office staff members are also top notch...they provide different appointment options which aids in working around your schedule and also provide text and email appointment reminders. Robyn knows many insurance plans inside and out and has been great in providing me with accurate out of pocket expense. I highly recommend Dr. Lichter...he and his fantastic staff will take extra good care of you and your family's dental needs! read more

My family and I have continued visiting Dr. Lichter's office for over 10 years now and always experience the best dental service! I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else or their staff for dental work and they always make sure you are at ease. Thank you Dr. Lichter and staff for the continued genuine care of my family's teeth! read more

You won't find a better dentist in all of San Diego! I've been with this dentist since I can remember and Dr Lichter and his staff are simply the best. All-around caring individuals. The office is a tad small, but perfect enough to get the one on one attention you deserve. read more

Gentle Dental I've been going there for a long time and ladies there are wonderful and my doctor is awesome. 5 Thumbs up

My post is about 3 weeks late but I had such a wonderful experience at Dr. Lichter's office and I highly recommend anyone who values their oral health to pay him a visit. I scheduled an appointment for a cleaning and thumbs up to my hygienist! It was the best cleaning I've ever experienced. After my oral examination, he told me exactly what was going on in my mouth, which were a couple of very small cavities and left it up to me if I wanted to get them filled or not... simple! Dr. Lichter isn't pushy like other dentists I've encountered--- which is hard to find these days. I wasn't pressured to purchase any products or anything of the sort. The office staff were great, very professional and welcoming. They were even able to fit me into they're schedule for a Zoom whitening procedure the following week before I deployed. I'm ecstatic! My teeth are very clean and super white now! There's ample parking in the back and his office was very easy to find. When I return, I plan on letting him do some cosmetic work and replace a silver filling for a tooth colored one. I've found me a new dentist in San Diego! read more
