I had my first visit to Greyling Dental and the front desk staff were all very welcoming, kind and helpful. Dr. Vargas was vey compassionate loving and showed interest in who I was as a person not just a number. I had an exam that was very thorough and she explained each tooth to me. She was not trying to upsell me on any service either. I had a great visit and will be transitioning my family over to them. I appreciated every single person I came into contact with at their office and highly recommend this practice. read more

The care for my 91 year old father was so nice. They treated him with respect and understood his dementia and worked so well with him. This was our first visit. I'm sure God directed us there. Absolute angels working there and the doctor taking the time to explain what was happening. I thank the Lord for Greyling Dental. I unequivocally recommend Greyling Dental and the doctor and staff. read more

Had a great experience. Everyone from the receptionists to the Doctor were super friendly. Doctor gave me an excellent diagnostic and treatment plan. read more

I haven't been to this dental office in years and they still spam my phone and email AND texts. I even changed my number and somehow they keep calling me. STOP CONTACTING ME! I have requested multiple times to be removed from their call list and they STILL reach out. I will file whatever complaints that I can find if I'm not left alone! read more

I encountered 4 people during my visit. Each person was SO helpful, SO kind, and so genuine. The dentist answered every single question I had in detail. read more

I see these people are still in business and can't believe it. Must be new clients coming in off their coupons, free exams, and $500 off big procedures. There's no way any intelligent clients would return here after a couple visits. They charge you for procedures before letting you make the appointment. Their offices are a mess, and their equipment is half damaged or non-functioning (in need of repairs). Please look around. Do a little bit of research. These people are a scam. They always advertise that they are "accepting new patients". No mystery as to why. They have virtually no repeat business. read more

Missing a front tooth is not picture material for a Christmas party :( so I called Greyling. The sweet, informative young lady who answered my call was an absolute smile saver! She took the time to answer my many questions, my concerns and did not rush me at all. I was very nervous trying to find a dentist already for my tons of work but in time for holiday pictures I was super stressed. They weee able to get me in!!! am so THANKFUL for getting into the dentist asap. When I arrived the young ladies were so nice at the front desk. The stars of the office..Dr. Vargas and her assistant Ariana Woowowoowow!! I just loved how informative, sweet, kind and what a perfectionist she is. Really, I was impressed. She took X-rays, talked about the implant. I had to schedule my 2nd appointment for the temporary tooth implant placement. Monday of temporary implant went GREAT. I was amazed at Dr. Vargas her skill and her patience. Her dental assistant Ariana works so well with Dr. Vargas. She is such an amazing perfectionist. And when it comes to your teeth your smile that is so important. They have a lovely dental assistant that I can't wait to try out for my teeth clewning. I love how the office staff introduces every employee. Mic drop..BOOM.. I have found my forever dental office and dentist! read more

Everyone is always positive and kind. Dr Vargas is great. Very reassuring, calm and professional. Can't say enough about Mindy. She is very thorough and thoughtful. I always have anxiety going to the dentist, they do their best to alleviate the anxiety. read more

It's fantastic and super insightful the technology this dental office uses for their imaging. For anyone with anatomy/physiology knowledge in practice outside of the mouth, the detailed image they take of your teeth and the time they give you to view it will leave you fascinated! I was immediately aware of areas where I may have worn enamel and potential problems. The only hiccup I faced was against the clock, as I had appointments to attend after and couldn't sit around to become absorbed in dental lingo. Best believe I'll be back next week to build a wonderful relationship with my new dental office and sustain my health. read more

I didn't think it was possible to adore your dentist, but I do. Dr. Vargas is amazing. I came in for a (free) second opinion, and she convinced me to come aboard. I'm paying out-of-pocket and not even using my dental insurance because I love her and her office so much. The first dentist I saw with my insurance wanted to pull 4 teeth and charge me about $10,000 over my insurance coverage. Doctor Vargas has helped me save 3 of those teeth so far, and I'm paying a lot less out-of-pocket for treatment. I severely neglected my teeth due to severe depression after my daughter died of cancer. Doctor Vargas never made me feel bad about my neglect and has helped me to get back on track. I'm happy to go to the dentist now. She answers all my questions and explains everything, including drawing detailed diagrams. Her office is well-run and the staff Is competent, professional and friendly. I also really admire that Dr. Vargas is working mom. Come here! I know you will be as happy with the dental care as I am. read more

This may be long, but I feel like the details needed will be totally worth the read on the reflection of how amazing this dental office is. October 2021, I found out I was pregnant. The very next day one of my molars cracked & fell out exposing my inflamed gum underneath making it incredibly difficult to eat anything. At the time, I was going to be seeing a different dentist that was not taking my dental concerns seriously. The appointment I was booked for was an emergency but not for another 8 days out, meaning as a newly pregnant woman (suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum from 4 weeks to birth), waiting simply wasn't an option. My husband had been coming to Greyling Dental for a few years ago & always raved about the service he received. When he heard how far out the appointment was with me already struggling to eat & keep food down, he called up Greyling Dental & they were able to get me in! The receptionist asked if I could get there in 15 minutes they would X-ray my tooth & patch it up to make sure I was able to eat. They treated me so incredibly well & were understanding of my illness, taking as many breaks as I needed. During my appointment I was also educated on dental care during pregnancy, things that have never been brought to my attention before. It felt great leaving with more knowledge & being able to share it with my other first time mother friends. Since then, they have been my dentist! Very homey feeling, it truly feels like a family here. Dental care is incredibly respected here & they educate you on the best care for your teeth. They remember my name, my husband & my son. We celebrate wins in motherhood and they give me a huge sense of community. I can't wait to bring my son in for his first appointment. In conclusion, if you're looking for your next dentist I highly recommend coming here. You'll be treated well, get the best treatment, & create a bond with the staff! Parking is great. There is plenty of street parking on both sides of the road and there is a huge parking lot across the street as well. read more

Highly recommend getting your cleanings done with Mindy! Her love and knowledge shines during her cleanings. She makes it fun by educating you during the process and does a thorough job! read more

We have been looking for a dental team for almost 5 years now. We have finally found the team that we will stick with for a long, long time. I can recommend them highly! read more

Such a great team! Wife was the 1st to go in and with her fears of everything, the Greyling Team made her feel super comfortable. Our oldest kid is also a patient and now I finally went in. Super great team, explains everything, encourages questions. Know your teeth situation better than ever before read more

Great office staff and Mindy, the hygienist is very thorough, informative and you can tell she loves her job because she does it with pride. She is by far the best hygienist I have ever had and I'm really old! read more

My husband started going to Greyling Dental about a year ago and I soon followed, based on their glowing reviews on Yelp and other platforms. Although my husband had some trouble with a crown being the wrong size when he went for its fitting and then having the temporary fall out over the Christmas break, Dr. Vargas was apologetic and came in to fix it. We care about our teeth and we always get 3-4 cleanings a year and this is where the trouble comes in. Their hygienist is fabulous but she is consistently late because she talks the ears off her patients. She was 20 minutes late for my husband last month but we gave her a pass because it was the end of the day. Fast forward to two weeks ago -- our house is 20 minutes away so I need to give at least that much time to get there. For my noon appointment, a text was sent by their office at 11:42am letting me know that the hygienist was running about 20 minutes behind. Unfortunately, I didn't receive the text until I arrived in the waiting room at 11:56am. Upon further reading, the text also said "We can still see you today but we want to respect your time, let us know if you can still make it! sorry for the inconvenience." So what exactly did that mean? Don't come? I was already there now, after having confirmed the appointment several times with all their reminders. I had a one hour lunchtime available which I still thought would be plenty of time until it got to be around 12:25pm and I can STILL hear the hygienist talking and talking and talking to her patient. I asked the office (they were very apologetic) if I could just do a cleaning vs a cleaning and exam because I was now short on time and I had only had an exam 9 months prior. They asked the dentist who said no (not sure if this was Dr Vargas or another dentist) but that they could offer me a free fluoride or laser add-on next time, so I said I'd be leaving and not coming back -- I wasn't going to pay for a cleaning AND an unnecessary exam that would have to be jammed into the 30 minutes I had remaining available through no fault of my own. The office texted me about 30 minutes later asking if I wanted to be rescheduled for two days later, and I said what I wrote above. I also asked that they tell Dr Vargas why my husband and I wouldn't be coming back and they said they would. She never contacted us so I'm contacting her here so that she can read what we wanted to say to her. read more

Love them! I will not go to another dentist even though they are out of network for me now. They got me back on track after years of being terrified of the dentist (in all honesty, decades of neglect, too). I haven't had a cavity since I started seeing them (going on 5 years now!) It was hard in the beginning with all the fires they had to put out, but we got through it. I was never belittled or yelled at for not taking better care of my teeth, which is usually a concern for people like me. Just so much encouragement and positive reinforcement from Dr V and Mindy. Selfishly, I don't want to share this because it'll be harder for me to get the appointment times I want with more people going to them, haha! But, I really can't recommend or thank them enough. read more

I have been going to Greyling Dental for quite some time now, & I always leave with healthy, clean teeth and advice to keep them that way. I appreciate all the communication there before and after being in the chair, especially regarding costs. The staff is very friendly, & I always feel comfortable read more

I haven't been to the dentist in a very long time, and Dr.Vargas and her hygienist Mindy were nothing short of amazing. Would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a new dentist! Makes you feel super comfortable and they have some awesome technology! read more

Amazing experience. All staff where super friendly. The dentist was amazing explained everything. I felt very taken care of and not judged after not going to a dentist in a long time. All my questions where answered in a friendly manner I had my two toddlers with me and all staff where so patient with them and worked around one while she sat on my lap for pat of a procross put a movie on for them and gave them little prizes to entertain them. Highly recommend. read more

My first time to Greyling Dental and I had the best experience. Dentist offices usually give me anxiety and after going to my last dentist for many years I realized it wasn't the procedures but the hygienist that gave me the anxiety. I'm so glad I switched to this office. My experience from the minute I walked in the door to leaving my appointment was very thorough and professional. They explained everything that was being done and how they would overall help me with my dental needs. Dr Joanne and Mindy are fabulous and made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. So happy I was referred by my daughter to come here. Thank you for everything. read more

I think very few people actually like going to the dentist, but I for one always look forward to my visits here. Dr. Vargas has a wonderful staff here and they do great work. Mindy is the dental hygenist who usually does my cleanings. She is very thorough and gentle. I appreciate that she will ask if I'm comfortable throughout the cleaning session. My teeth feel so nice and clean after each of my visits. The other dental hygienists are very good as well. Most recently, Sarah performed my cleaning and she was great. For me, I totally dread having x-rays of my teeth done. I have a sensitive gag, so I get choked up very easily. At the previous dental practice, I used to go to, they would put the film in my mouth (causing me to gag), then position the x-ray and move to press the button. It was quite uncomfortable and drawn out. Much different process here at Greyling. They always position everything prior, coach me, then place the film in my mouth at the end. They keep me as comfortable as possible and minimize the gagging feeling I get. A huge night and day difference. When it comes to exams and assessing my teeth, to make sure they are in tip top shape, Dr. Vargas takes her time and thoroughly checks each chicklet one by one. When she sees an issue, she explains everything in easy to understand terms which I appreciate. Parking is never a problem. There is plenty of parking in front of the office. The place is easy to find and although it is a little further from my home, I don't mind trading a few extra minutes of driving for wonderful, trustworthy service. I've been coming here for years and love this practice so much, I have recommended Greylong Dental to my family. Many of my family members also come here to get their cleanings and dental procedures done. I have been coming here for so long, that I actually thought I had already reviewed Greyling Dental on Yelp. Maybe subconsciously, I was trying to keep them as a hidden gem. :) They have COVID precautions in place. Acrylic barrier at reception area, no more magazines, staff wears PPE, they screen temperature, and you text or call on arrival to appointment. They respond and let you know when to come in. Face mask is a must as it should be. If you're new to the area or need a new dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Vargas and the staff at Greyling Dental! 5 / 5 - Cleanliness 5 / 5 - Service 5 / 5 - Dental Hygienist (Mindy, Sara and others) 5 / 5 - Dr. Vargas 5 / 5 - Overall read more

My wife was the first to see Dr. Vargas and she highly recommended that I give her a try. I'm glad I listened. The team at Greyling were able to help me when other's couldn't and I'm thankful for the great work that they do. They also partner with other highly proficient professionals in case you need specialized work. I would describe Greyling dental as professional, compassionate, and friendly. Our entire family is now under their care. read more

5 Stars for Dr. Vargas and her whole team! I was referred by one of my girlfriends as I recently have moved to SD from San Jose. The front desk was able to get me in for a cleaning right away as I had informed them i was past due. Every staff member I encountered was super friendly and took the time to get to know me and answer any questions I had. I want to give a special shoutout to Mindy! She did my actual cleaning and she talked through every step she was doing and I honestly learned so much about dental hygiene and the importance of having a regiment. If you are in need of a dental team, please give Dr. Vargas a try! read more

The most caring dentist I can't say enough about Dr. Joanne Vargas!! I'm so grateful to her and the entire team at Greyling dental for keeping our smiles clean and healthy. Mindy and Jamie are so meticulous and I can't thank them enough for all they do for my oral health. All the ladies at the front are helpful and kind. My family and I love Greyling Dental read more

Seriously This Dental office is Awesome!!! Everyone here is smiling and they greet you ans make you feel welcomed & my nerves went from a 10 to a 1!!! This is my new Teeth Doctor I just love this place . read more

I have been to so many dental offices through the years and Greyling Dental has by far been the best experience! Dr. Vargas and her staff provide amazing customer service, I feel so well taken cared of. With every visit, I learn so much more about dental care and what I can do to make sure I leave each visit with a clean and clear exam. I appreciate how their staff takes the time to make sure each patient is their priority. read more

I HATE GOING TO THE DENTIST. Hear me out. At 12 years old, I had a traumatic experience at the dentist. I absolutely dread going.. but a friend recommended Dr. Vargas and she 1000000% put me at ease from the SECOND I stepped into her office. Her front office staff is welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable. Dr. Vargas is VERY accommodating, caring, and VERY detail oriented. She is not your typical doctor. She talks TO you- not AT you. She makes sure to address any and all concerns regarding your treatment plan and makes sure you're all on the same page. When she scheduled me for my cleaning, she ranted & raved about her Dental Hygienist Mindy.....and boy did she live up to the hype! Mindy absolutely LOVES her job, and it shows. I can't say enough about the team over at Greyling Dental. They actually have me looking forward to my next cleaning! read more

Mindy, the hygienist, is awesome; cleans your teeth to perfection! . The dentists are informative and caring. All staff are friendly.

I've been a patient of Greyling Dental more than 10 years. The treatment team is stellar. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and are greeted with kind and patient staff. Both Dr. Vargas-Velasco and the hygienist Mindy are kind, caring and professional, and always take the time to address my oral health needs with sincere and trusted recommendations. I've always left their office feeling cared for. Thank you, Greyling Dental, for being top-notch and for also caring my children and their oral health needs. We truly value the care we receive. Keep being awesome! -Laura M. read more

This is by far the best cleaning dental service I have ever had. The staffs are super friendly. Mindy cleaned my teeth thoroughly and I can feel they are extremely clean after I get home. She explained every detail of my teeth and showed me how to clean my teeth which can reach further into my gum. She even flossed my teeth at the end which I've never seen anywhere else. Since I've haven't done teeth cleaning for a while, it was kinda hurt when Mindy try to reach under the gum a bit more, but it was neccessary and I can see she took a lot of the build-up junk out even though I brush my teeth twice a day. Mindy would not mind when I ask for some numb gel to reduce the pain. Again, this is my go to place for teeth cleaning from now onand I would recommend my friends to come here for sure. read more

5 years later- still love this dental office! Everyone is amazing, helpful, fantastic at their jobs and dedicated to providing quality care. Highly highly HIGHLY recommended! read more

Greyling Dental - Fresh cleaning after lots of coffee stains - General Dentistry Near Me - San Diego, California

I went in for an exam and cleaning for the first time at this dental office. It went really smooth and didn't take long. (About 2 hours as expected). Everyone was welcoming and really helpful. They take pride in their work and care for their patients. I learned a lot on my first visit. Definitely found my new dentist :) read more

Short version: awesome practice, knowledgeable staff, super kind and helpful people prevented me from getting scammed at another dentistry (A+ Family Dentistry on El Cajon Blvd, for inquiring minds) Long version: This has been my go to dentistry since I moved to the neighborhood years ago but my most recent visit was a game changer. I broke one of my teeth last year and needed a crown put in and went to another place to get it done ASAP. At this point, I hadn't had a general cleaning in a few years, ngl (life happens) and the place that did my crown let me know I had two cavities. They rushed me into setting up a care credit card and tried to pressure me into getting X-ray work, 3D scans, wisdom tooth removal, cavity fillings, etc and charged me for services in advance. Because I wasn't in a financial place to drop a casual 2 grand, I requested a refund from them since they refused to do a general cleaning until they found every other possible way to make money off of me - and let's be real, I'm a young adult doing a lot of adulting things on my own for the first time so it was a bit overwhelming. Enter: Greyling Dentistry. I booked a cleaning with them very seamlessly - did an X-ray one day and a cleaning the next and to my surprise, they let me know I did not have any cavities meaning the last place I went to was trying to scam me. So crazy. The hygienist was super kind, gentle, and great at communicating. I felt so relieved and reassured after coming here - literally have always hated the dentist til this experience. She let me know that they're women owned and have majority if not all women staff which was great for me. For something as personal as dental health, it's really important to find a provider that you can trust so I can say I will not be going anywhere else again (aside from Greyling's referrals since they don't do ortho). read more

Best care and always so friendly and helpful. Dr. Vargas is the only dentist I trust!

Would recommend to a family member. My overall experience was pleasant and I felt that it was a value added service. The office is very clean. The staff goes above and beyond to bring comfort and relieve the stress that can be associated with dental procedures. The services are explained clearly - the prices are reviewed before sitting in any exam room. Good overall ethical compass of staff and quality establishment. Thanks to the staff for their kind and caring manner - I can't say enough thanks. Is it okay to say the word catch? Greyling Dental has been my best catch of 2022. read more

Everyone in the front office is friendly and take the time to answer all of your questions. Sarah did my cleaning and was very personable along with talking me through the entire process of what she was doing. Dr. Lozano is extremely knowledgable and very detailed about the treatment plan. 10/10! read more

I have been going to this dental office for years. This office has the best front staff and exceptional doctors. One doctor in particular, Dr. Lozano, has gone above and beyond for me. She spends quality time with me to explain procedures in detail - even the minor ones without an ounce of impatience. I appreciate her and her staff immensely! read more

FIRST AND LAST VISIT Came here to see if this dentist fit my needs. The staff are all extremely nice people and I appreciate their welcomeness. It's good to have happy staff! I was expecting X-rays and cleaning within my appointment. It took nearly 45 minutes to get X-rays done 1) waiting for the X-ray machine to be available 2) the technician seemed inexperienced and kept taking retakes of my teeth and also asked for assistance 3) it's the first time I've had gagged a few times getting teeth X-rays. I felt like I was chocking in the instruments they put in your mouth. Hence the retakes, probably shouldn't have been shoved that far in my mouth in the first place. I didn't have a chance to get my teeth cleaned. Unfortunately, this dentist office wasn't for me. I had found another dentist that fit my needs better. read more

My son (8Y) got his front tooth build up. The half of it was broken off. Joanne Vargas-Velasco, DMD and her team were fabulous, she took her time and explained everything to him. The result is amazing. I highly recommend the office. read more
