Hornbrook Center for Dentistry is one of the essential places I can count on for quality and consistency. The high standard of care and the staff's genuine concern add to a rich experience. Last week, I saw Sarah for a teeth cleaning, and what a great job she did! Hornbrook uses the latest technologies, and Sarah made sure I understood everything she was doing and was responsive to my feedback. My husband and I are grateful we have found this level of professional quality in our lives. read more

I live 2+ hours away from Hornbrook Center for Dentistry but it's worth it to me to drive there for dental care! I called the office at 6:45 because I was afraid I was running late for my 8:00 appointment due to traffic. Andrea answered the phone, I thought it was a recording. What dedication! when I arrived at the office I was greeted warmly by Angie. the staff is just so wonderful. The hygienist called me in and started the gentle BioFilm cleaning process. I love how she handed me a warm cloth at the end of my cleaning to refresh my face and hands. I recommend this Dental Team! read more

Great dentistry and excellent service. I love their work and always feel well taken care of. The office staff and hygienist team are also excellent. Highly recommended. read more

From the moment you walk in you notice the difference, Thank you Dra Souza and Carolina for the great work and caring

Dr. Souza is the best with a totally awesome team. Thanks to all of you for a great dental experience!!

Dr Hornbrook and his staff are amazing. I went in for a consultation to explore veneers. I immediately felt comfortable with Dr Hornbrook and his amazing staff. So, I booked it on the spot. Yesterday I went in to have my temporaries veneer preparation and I was amazed how painless and quick it went. I love my new smile and I only have my temporaries on. They nailed it! Thank you Dr Hornbrook for your patience, amazing work and making me feel special. I can't wait for my permanent veneers! Rob read more

If you need porcelain veneers, do not go anywhere else. Dr. David Hornbrook is one of the top three cosmetic dentists in the world. He's an artist, a scientist, an innovator, an educator, and an incredibly kind and funny human being. It's a joy to sit in his chair. I only wish he placed my original veneers. Don't make the same mistake I did. I loved my general dentist, and when my front teeth needed restoration, I chose him for the work. Less than two years later, the veneers clearly failed. They were popping off. Also, improper placement caused major gum inflammation, pain, and bleeding. Lots and lots of bleeding. Three dentists referred me to Dr. Hornbrook. There are no cookie-cutter veneers here. Each tooth is created specifically for you. Dr. Hornbrook has his own lab with the best ceramists in the business. The results are beyond my wildest dreams. Thankfully, my gums are healthy again. The office is beautifully appointed, sparkling clean, and a joy to visit. Veneers take time, and if you're having major dental work, this is the place you want to be. Each and every staffer is attentive, kind, personable, and great at what they do. Dr. Souza, Dr. Hornbrook's associate, is a marvelous general dentist. I see my hygienist, Krishna, four times a year, and the level of care and expertise is outstanding. Technique, technology, an artist's eye and a sculptor's touch: David Hornbrook is the best of the best. read more

This place made me feel at home right away. Great staff, environment, and Sandra was really good to me! Just moved to San Diego so this is definitely going to be my spot read more

I hope cosmetic dentistry has evolved. Got 6 veneers in early 90s. I was never happy with the chiclet look. Within a year the margins between tooth and gum were noticeable. After a few years, one popped loose at work. Ended up getting crowns from another dentist. Decades later...so far, so good. read more

Superior in all ways !! Stellar level of dentistry (Dr. Hornbrook is a teaching dentist who trains other dentists - that's how good he is) and superior level of customer service. I have been to many dentists in my 60+ years and Dr. Hornbrook and staff are beyond compare. Proactive, professional expertise, yet friendly and down-to-earth, with an office ambience that surpasses any dentist office I have ever been in. Staff are very attentive to your comfort and provide a calm, quiet relaxing ambience. Many dentist offices are busy and somewhat noisy, which I find jarring when I am already in a mildly anxious state about having dental work done. Dr. Hornbrook and staff focus on you, the patient, and pay attention to the unseen details. Office sounds are dampened with sound absorbing decor choices. Office staff refrain from idle chit chat amongst them selves while they are working on your mouth. I feel as if I and my dental work are the most important thing they are doing and that they are paying attention to me, my comfort and providing excellent experienced dentistry to boot. When laying prone in a chair with my airway at risk this is good to know ! Everyone in this office is always pleasant, friendly, focused and does their utmost to accommodate preferences and schedules. They follow up post care and do whatever is needed without question. I cannot say enough about the exceptional level of care of this office provides-very very impressive in comparison to all the rest. read more

I bought a Groupon for teeth whitening here and just received the service. The office is beautiful and the team working there are so friendly and courteous. The experience was so good I purchased additional items for at home treatment. And the actual service was excellent. My teeth look shiney and bright! Thanks Andrea and the team! You made the experience 100% better! read more

I don't even know where to start. I will say that I honestly feel like the luckiest person to have found Dr. Hornbrook. I came to him in desperate need after getting veneers placed by a different dentist. As a result, my gums were ridiculously swollen and the original veneers would need to be replaced. I'm sure I wasn't a case Dr. Hornbrook wanted to take on, but he did, and he did the most amazing job fixing me!! He's a perfectionist, which is exactly what you want when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. I am beyond thrilled with the work he did but he also happens to be one of the nicest people I've ever met. I actually enjoyed going to my appointments, who can say that about a dental visit?! I also want to add that I had so many procedures, I was really a tough case for Dr. Hornbrook, and I never once felt any pain, unbelievable. My experience I had was all encompassing. Dr. Hornbrook is the best but so is everyone in his office, which also speaks volumes about him. Andrea at the front desk is phenomenal, she is extremely caring and immediately made me feel welcome...and has continued to make me feel that way, helping me every step of the way with my many appointments. Danielle, Dr. Hornbrook's assistant, helped explain the cost associated without pressuring me. She was also involved in many of my procedures as well. Danielle is such a warm and kind person, always making sure I felt comfortable during my visits. Unfortunately I had a issue on a Friday night, one of my temporary veneers fell off... I called the afterhours number and Sandra immediately called me back. She got me in first thing Saturday morning and did an exceptional job replacing the veneer. She's also as friendly as can be! My hygienist, Krishna, is fantastic and probably the most thorough and knowledgeable hygienist I've ever been to and I'm 47 years old so I've been to a lot! I know this review is long but it still isn't worthy of explaining the experience I had. I never thought I'd smile again without being self conscious which is a horrible feeling. Now I smile as big as ever and with confidence, that is priceless. If you're reading this review, that means you've found Dr. Hornbrook, so I would consider you to be as lucky as I am. He will always be my greatest recommendation. read more

I just had my teeth whitened by Danielle who was absolutely wonderful! When I walked in the office I immediately greeted by Andrea who had the most friendliest smile and was so nice. The waiting area was very inviting, warm and had a beautiful fish tank. Danielle introduced herself and proceeded to show me around the office (very impressive) and then started the whitening process. Danielle was extremely attentive and was very quick to assist me with a wonderful coughing fit I had! I highly recommend this dental office. I'm loving my teeth and can't wait to see the final results.. Thank you Dr. Hornbrook for having such a wonderful staff and office environment. read more

If there were more stars to give, I'd give more stars! There are good dentists and there are Master Dentists....Dr. Hornbrook is a Master. Pricey, but well worth it for the attention to detail and expert care you receive. GREAT dentist and equally wonderful staff. Simply top notch practice! read more

Dr. Hornbrook, Kristen, Andrea, Alyssa and all staff are always on time and extremely competent. For many years, I've had a lot of dental work done here and have not had any issues. The first thing people notice are my "beautiful teeth." read more

Hi Yelpers! Just wanted to update my review with Dr. Hornbrook. After two years my veneers and bondings still look perfect. Thank you so much Dr. Hornbrook for your amazing work. read more

I just love the team at Hornbrook Dental! I had called yesterday and asked Andrea if I may get in as soon as they had an opening to see me about my scenario. She was so sweet and accommodating and she had me come in when it was convenient for me. Wow, that was so awesome. So I went in the next day and was so grateful that my regular hygienist, Krishna took care of my problem. Krishna is such an amazing person and hygienist, I feel very lucky that I have someone so caring and helpful! She had suggested several things to get my mouth in a much healthier place-yippee-it's been helpful too. I'm not a person that looks forward to going to the dentist, but I have to say Hornbrook and it's wonderful staff, like Krishna, Andrea and Marie take that dread away and make you feel like your part of the Hornbrook family! Thank you Hornbrook for everything you do, Sam and I sure appreciate all of You! read more

This was by far the best dental experience of my life! I was in San Diego for a few weeks and broke a crown. Hornbrook was nearby and my sister-in-law thought they were good. From the first call, Andrea treated me with such warmth that I felt as if I were a long-lost relative. She fit me in the day I called. At the office, Marie greeted me warmly. The waiting room had a tropical fish tank, cookies, and a variety of hot and cold drinks. Dr. Hornbrook was kind (I was in town for a dying relative), explained what he was doing, and had excellent technique and new technology that made the experience essentially pain-free. The dental technician got my temporary crown right on the first try - unprecedented! That night, Dr. Hornbrook called to make sure I was okay. I am seriously debating flying in for dental work. If you live anywhere in a 50-mile radius, it's worth driving here for dental work. read more

I am really bumming about my NTI device. I have a fourth appointment to talk to Dr. H about it. We will see how it turns out.

Five stars says it all....I was referred to this office by my longtime dentist in Las Vegas when I moved here to San Diego. I had a really hard time finding a great dentist here in SD and had a few horror stories along the way. So thankful for this referral and everyone at the Hornbrook Center for Dentistry, they are wonderful and make you feel like family! read more

Extremely disappointed! After visiting this office for a dental problem, they created a full and comprehensive treatment plan. The pricing seemed quite high in addition to the fact that I only went there for one problem and all of this other work was revealed that "had to be done or I would have severe issues". My spouse also went in for a check up and came away with a treatment plan in the $10,000's. She was told that she had severe decay and needed previously done dental work redone(cosmetic dentistry that was done less than 4 years ago). Upon obtaining two different second opinions none of the prescribed work was necessary other than a minor cavity that was diagnosed by this office as quite large and problematic. The pricing at the two other offices were substantially less than Hornbook. I realize that prices that vary from practice to practice but this office seems to create "add on" work to increase the charges. read more

I had been looking for a Groupon to get my teeth whitened for a while and was thrilled when I saw this one come up. This was my first time getting my teeth whitened and it was a great experience. The office is extremely clean and beautiful. The staff is experienced, kind, and do whatever they can to make you comfortable. My mouth is much smaller than the average adult's mouth, so they found other equipment to use in the office in place of the usual equipment. They gave me some great products to take home and use and allowed me to purchase additional items at a lower cost than usual. I would go back here without a Groupon in the future. :-) Overall, great place to go get work done on your teeth. You are in good hands if you go here. read more

Awesome practice. Super clean and state-of-art. Friendly staff. Dr. Hornbrook is the best at giving injections and I am super scared of needles. He did four veneers on me and they look so natural, no-one even knows they are not mine. I have referred three people here and they have all had the same type of experiences. Good dental offices are hard to come by and this one is exceptional. 5 stars, BRAVO! read more

I am Dr. Hornbrook's patient as well as a dentist myself. I will make it short. Dr. Hornbrook is simply BRILLIANT! I fly all the way from San Francisco for my dental work to see him. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Hornbrook did an amazing job on my mouth. I needed a veneer for one of my front two teeth and he did the loveliest job matching them and making sure I was happy and comfortable even with the temporary. Now that the work is done and my mouth is settled I'm in love with the tooth and it looks really natural and feels like my own. Also, his staff was really friendly and accommodating and the entire experience was first class and well executed. read more

No one looks forward to going to the dentist, but at least there's always a big jar of M&M's in the waiting room (although it seems a bit ironic for a dental office)! Dr. Hornbrook and his staff always do a phenomenal job. I got my teeth whitened here a few months ago and within one whitening session I had noticed significant results. His staff also were very open to discussing all aspects of the procedure, and most importantly, I never felt as if they were pressuring me to opt for something more expensive. They always gave me a straight answer and seemed to be very invested in the quality of my care. read more

I visited Dr. Hornbrook's office for teeth whitening, which was my first experience. The office is very nice and staff are extremely friendly. They throughly explained everything to me and answered all of my questions. During the treatment, they were very professional and consistently made sure I was comfortable. I am very satisfied with the results. It was a very positive experience and I will definitely return to this office. read more

I'm so excited to be having my veneers done by Dr. Hornbrook!! His entire staff was so nice and his office was so gorgeous! I enjoyed my time there and felt very well informed with the process. Most of the time I hate going to the dentist but he made it enjoyable and was very quick as well. Can't wait to show my finished product from this amazing place! read more

Dr Hornbrook is a very talented dentist and has a personality that is gentle and warm. I adore him and am so privileged to have met him. I am half way through a full mouth restoration and this requires great skill. I am so happy with my new developing smile which is Life changing for me and brings tears of joy to my eyes. I have not smiled on any regular basis my entire life as i was so ashamed of my teeth. Now i do and am happier every day as a result of this transformation. If youre struggling with any of these things like i did, please go see this very fine dentist. Your life will change for the better. God Bless You Dr Hornbrook and thank You so very very much is a small fraction of the appreciation i have for you! read more
