    I've always been a little self-conscious about my smile, and after putting it off for way too long,…read moreI finally scheduled a consultation with Dr. Eshom. I'm so glad I did. The price was reasonable, and what really stood out to me was that he actually did all the work himself. At other dentist offices, I rarely ever saw the actual dentist, so this was a huge difference. The results blew my expectations. His attention to detail and the care he puts into his work really shows. The whole experience was comfortable; they even give you a warm neck wrap during treatment, which sounds small, but it makes a big difference. There was zero pain, everything was quick, and I left feeling more confident than I have in years. Highly recommend stopping the procrastination and finally getting the smile you've been wanting. Dr. Eshom made the entire process easy, comfortable, and absolutely worth it.

    I have been a patient for many years and have been completely satisfied with the service I…read morereceived. However, I lost a front veneer and called immediately to get an appointment for the following day. The office said they could not see me for another week! I don't expect favors but one week without a front tooth is not acceptable. If one can't expect service for an emergency, they must not care about their patients. Very disappointing.

    Highly recommend. After a complimentary consult that I originally meant to entertain for the…read morepossibility of veneers (perfectly good teeth I thought but smile is less than ideal) I am blown away at how THOROUGH and caring Jennifer and Dr. Kiyam have been. Because they use the best possible equipment in dentistry, they have optics on whats going on in my mouth that my traditional dentist apparently doesn't. Through this comprehensive consult, they discovered a pretty big abscess/infection in the back right of my bottom jaw through a CT scan in a tooth that apparently doesn't have any nerve pain currently. (I would never have known! Not even my dentist saw this with traditional x-rays. What the heck!!??) Jennifer and I discussed a treatment plan to address ALL concerns and I just realized, through her help, that the incredibly severe Trigeminal neuralgia (facial nerve) pain that had me in tears a few years ago over the course of 3 months that NO DENTIST or root canal specialist could explain and that disappeared just as fast as it appeared. It was highly likely related to the abscess that they discovered last week because of the specialized equipment and overall focus they have on addressing issues from many angles. My body was crying out for help 3 yrs ago after God knows how many years of that infection being there and no one could explain except for this practice. I want to cry. So grateful to now make it all make sense. Highly recommend their expertise! They truly are "comprehensive."

    Update: Only months after my work with Dr. Kiyan I've had to…read morehave all of my teeth redone. The trauma that I've been through caused by this man is devastating. I'm so grateful to my new doctor and his team. He charged me half what Kiyan did to do the same work but so much better. It really speaks to how imperative it is to choose the right person for the job. Dr. Kiyan was a horrible mistake I hope nobody else makes.

    I am overcoming my fear of the dentist thanks to Torrey Pines Dental Arts!…read more My wife has been a patient here for years and she finally convinced me to come meet the staff and schedule my first appointment. She got great care from Dr. Saade and Ayah so I booked for the following week. The receptionists were kind and informative. They made me feel good about coming back too. Dr. Terranova and Patricia made my initial appointment welcoming and gentle. They were accommodating of me. This clinic creates a safety and calm that I had not experienced at previous dentists. I came back a week later for Dr. Terranova, Rich, and Delilah to take care of a bunch of work I needed done (fillings, crown replacement, deep cleaning). Then today, I got the other side of fillings done and also Max did my deep cleaning. Dr. Terranovaa is great at talking through everything calmly. She checks in throughout and remembers you're a person in the chair, not just teeth. I really appreciated being talked through parts that might pinch, vibrate, feel pressure, etc. They're clearly a busy clinic but I never felt she was rushing or annoyed. I really think this is a great place to go especially if you have fear or uncertainty about the dentist. I also would recommend Max if you're nervous about deep cleanings. I asked them to put him as my preferred hygienist, along with Ayah since she was great with my wife. Delilah did a fine job but everyone has different preferences and I just felt better with Max's approach. He explained everything, told me when I could close my mouth. provided a diagram marked with where I can't floss for 10 days due to antibiotics, provided verbal encouragement, and was also skillful at the injections needed to prep for my fillings after the cleaning). The dentist is not cheap but I felt I got my money's worth with all the attention and time taken. Parking is easy early in the morning, although it does cost money.

She is thorough with her exams but considerate of patient comfort, as well. That's a huge plus for me because I've always been a little anxious about going to the dentist.

Overall, her expertise has helped me improve my teeth and gum health, and I highly recommend her as a dentist!

    I am sharing my personal experience with this dental practice. I received dental treatment that…read moreultimately required additional treatment and resulted in significant concerns regarding the outcome. I attempted to resolve the matter directly, initially requesting that the work be addressed before additional issues developed, and later seeking a refund, but my concerns were not resolved. The matter ultimately proceeded to small claims court. During the hearing, it was represented to the court that a refund had been provided. However, the payment provided to me could not be successfully processed, and despite my subsequent requests for resolution, no payment has been received. My recommendation is that patients carefully ask questions, keep detailed records, and obtain clear written explanations of treatment plans, costs, and any proposed resolutions before proceeding.

    I've never written a review before, and honestly, I wasn't going to... until I spoke with Ray and…read morenow I have the time. I've been coming here for 5 years. I've had all my cleanings done here, got my Invisalign here, and even brought in my boyfriend and my mom for theirs. Today, I couldn't make my appointment because I'm swamped with work and asked to reschedule. They said no -and that I'd be charged a $65 rescheduling fee. I asked if it could be waived, and they refused, saying it had already been waived once... back in 2021 (over four years ago!). I asked if I could speak to someone else about it, thinking that after 5 years of loyalty, thousands of dollars spent, and multiple referrals I brought in, they might show some understanding. But no -- Ray doubled down and even told me I was "bad for business." And that's why is the primary reason why this review exists. Very very unfortunate because I really liked going there which is why my family and I went there. However, this is how they treat long-term patients. If you want a dentist's office that values loyalty, empathy, and basic respect- look elsewhere! After five years of commitment to this dentist office, they lost me and my family over a $65 rescheduling fee. That says everything. Do yourself a favor and find a new dentist office, at least one that gives a crap. My goodness!
