Despite being an Invisalign provider, after assessing my bite digitally and manually Dr. Fred found my repeating that expense was unnecessary which showed integrity. Dr. Fred is reachable when necessary and communication with his team is simple, effective and responsive. Each member of Smile Dentistry's team is caring, friendly and supportive of your dental health. Both the hygienist and Dr. Fred recommended personalized dental care tips. Dr. Fred's exam techniques and technology choices attest to his advanced education at UCSD and USC. He explains your film findings and treatment options in simple terms for sound and lasting results.  Having TMJ, Dr. Fred examined my bite with articulating paper using the same methods as my Oral, Head and Neck Pathologist several counties away. I could not find a local practitioner skilled in these techniques. Dr. Fred took time fixing my bite to prevent further fractures without my feeling like a nuisance or rushed. Dr. Fred's digitizer results in crowns with a superior fit compared to standard impressions. When outside referral was necessary to other specialities, Dr. Fred personally ensured I received treatment soon and his entrusted network is equally advanced in training, technology and conscientiousness. All were in-network with my insurance which is uncommon. His welcoming other specialties' opinions further increased my trust. Each provider called me after major treatment checking on my recovery and answering questions.  Dr. Fred and his team are kind, patient and considerate and the office is inviting. Pricing is reasonable without pushing unnecessary aesthetic treatments. Thank you Dr. Fred and San Diego Smile Dentistry for patiently and gracefully returning my dental health.

The times I've been here, I haven't had any issues. Vibes: It's in the suburbs of Linda Vista and a little bit of Clairemont, but it's in a plaza with some local commercial businesses. The spot itself is clean and nice. I was welcomed with a warm greeting and lite rock music. The dental rooms are pretty spacious and I like the natural lighting. CUSTOMER SERVICE: I worked with Saky, Dr. Linda, and I believe Salina. Great people! Friendly and knowledgeable people. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. I may be biased as this is my first dental experience in SD but thank goodness I don't need to look for another. Great service, I dig the tech, and the delivery.

Your health is one of the most important…read morethings in your life that you must trust others with; and I'm thankful to say I could not be more happy with Dr. Aldo and the team at Bella Vita Dental. I see a lot of reviews talking about upselling and unnecessary treatment and I feel like I must say that whilst in my specific case this would not at all be relevant, it would take truly corrupt individual to do this to what is essentially a patient in a healthcare setting. I cannot in my wildest dreams see Dr. Aldo ever doing something like this - nor do I believe her to work in an environment in which this would ever take place. I stand firm in my belief that Bella Vita Dental is not capable of fostering this sort of behavior. The front desk staff were friendly and inviting and thorough with the answers to my questions, and Dr. Aldo and her team of dental assistants were kind, compassionate, and needless to say, all my issues were addressed and I am back to pain free. Whilst I do not look forward to the next time I have dental issues; I find comfort knowing I'm in great, compassionate hands with Dr. Aldo and all those at Bella Vita Dental.

I was a patient with Bella Vita for about 5 years until I moved away last October. I decided to start Invisalign with them in May 2025 and paid my quoted amount ($2411) in full the day treatment started. To my surprise, in April 2026 I received a call that my claim had been denied by my insurance but they would help me out and file another claim that would hopefully be approved by Delta Dental but if that claim was denied, they would file an appeal for me. I got a text on May 11, 2026 that I had an outstanding balance that amounted to ~50% ($1167) of what I originally paid at the start of my treatment so I called to ask what happened and Emily at the front desk told that they filed an appeal for my denied claim but couldn't answer any insurance or billing questions due to the fact that their billing department is not done "in house" so they would have to relay all my questions to a separate service. The office also refused to give me any contact information for their billing department so I'm forced to play telephone with the office and their billing department but also said they could not tell me why my claims had been denied. I was, however, told that my benefits for ortho had been maxed out. I called my insurance immediately after that initial call and they told me that, no, my claim was not denied due to my coverage being maxxed out (it has not been at that point) but because there were errors with the billing information on the claims that were submitted. The insurance rep also notified me that they had no appeal on file, so either there is some technical issue on the insurance side or the office lied about filing an appeal for that 2nd denied claim. The insurance rep told me it was an easy fix and that the office's billing department just need to update that billing info, resubmit, and it should be approved. From May until August of this year, I've called 6 times asking for updates and relaying the message that all they have to do is update their incorrect billing info and resubmit the claim and it should be approved. Everytime I call, I'm met with "The claim was already filed and denied twice so there's not much we can do, but we'll ask the billing department again." I've tried asking for the practice manager and have been told "she's not at her desk but she will call you later" and I never receive that call. All in all, be wary of this place. Since their billing is not done in house, no one at the office can answer specific billing questions and refuse to give contact info for that billing office so you're forced to play telephone with them and their billing department if you ever have an insurance issue.

During my initial visits, I felt that additional services were being recommended before there was much discussion of my goals or treatment needs. The dental hygienist was a bit condescending. I was also repeatedly presented with an iPad and encouraged to nominate and later vote for the dentist for "Best of San Diego." It was presented as part of the checkout process, which I found particularly off-putting and distasteful. More concerning was my experience requesting my dental records afterward. The records initially provided appeared incomplete and some of the imaging was not clearly identified. I followed up multiple times requesting my clinical notes, treatment plans, billing information, and complete imaging. It took repeated requests and escalation before I received additional documentation, and I was ultimately told that the information originally provided had been incomplete. Patients should be able to receive clear, complete copies of their own records without having to repeatedly chase the office for them. The overall experience left me uncomfortable enough that I decided to take my care elsewhere.

On my 1st visit, I was surprised that it was Dr. Bhatt who called me from waiting to walk me back to exam room, where she asked what I needed and explained to me how it would proceed that day. What dentist does that first? Then, we went for X-rays, etc. Afterward, Dr. Bhatt told me she's most concerned about a crown that's needed first. Dr. Bhatt and William stayed late that day to provide me a temporary crown.

I made an appointment for a general cleaning with X-rays. We I arrived I was taken back and many X-rays were taken. I then met with Dr. Bhatt who proceeded to tell me that she could not clean my teeth and "that I was a liability to her license ". She said I needed a deep cleaning and some sort of filling/coating - each service costing $700! I have never had a cavity in my life! My last cleaning was Oct. 2025. I have always had my teeth cleaned every 6 months. Deep cleanings are for someone with very bad dental hygiene. This was a totally switch and bait. She submitted a bill for $1,500 to my insurance- $500 which is my responsibility! I never got my teeth cleaned. I simply walked out- after waiting 30 min. To have someone explain the costs of procedures the dr. Wanted to do. The following week I went to my local dentist - who did not take my insurance and paid the normal $345 for X-rays, cleaning and meet with the dentist for consultation.
