I did not realize that I was only getting metal put in my mouth with no teeth to go with it. I would never have gone through this do called free implants if I knew the teeth didn't come with it. What a waste of time. You are totally wrong. I was told by Dr matinee of emerald dentistry in oceanside and by your staff I was receiving implants. Mot just a mouth of metal. read more

They fit me into their schedule took care of my issue. They're always so friendly there and they do a good job. Thank you, Kim.

I was referred to Hearst dental Care for procedure that I'm considering. I needed a preliminary CTscan. I arrived at the office a few minutes early to fill out the standard medical forms. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The office was busy but everything seemed to flow really smoothly. Almost as soon as I turned in my paperwork I was called in for my CT scan. The scan took 5 minutes and I actually left the office 1 minute before my scheduled arrival time. The staff explained to me what would happen next and believe it or not I received a call the next day and forming me of the plan. I got the consultation appointment within 1 week of my first visit. To me that was amazing. I would recommend this office to anyone. I'm sure you would be happy with the service. RB read more

Most importantly, Dr Steve has changed my life through a very methodical and professional treatment plan. Today I am much better off, and have a great set of new teeth! Thanks! read more

I moved from north county and needed a new dentist in my area. I found Hurst Dental and I'm glad I did. They have an intimate experience. I walked in and the front desk was expecting me. The called me by name and didn't keep me waiting. The staff was very friendly and the office was really clean. I enjoy my experience. It's safe to say I found my new dentist. read more

It feels weird to say "life changing" in a review. But that's the only way to describe what Hurst Dental did for me. I was born with congenitally soft enamel (whatever that is) and have spent over $150 K during my long life desperately trying to get my mouth to work right. Nada. Zilch. Then the awesome team at Hurst Dental built me a new mouth. Snap-in, implant-based removable dentures that have fundamentally changed the way I live my life. For that I am deeply grateful. Special thanks to Dr. Steve, Val and Shelley but everybody you meet in their office is a first rate professional. read more

I had two dentist appointments today. The first one was at the Town Square Family Dentistry where I was seen by Dr. Hema Srinivasan, DDS. My second appointment was with Dr. Bridget Hurst. This is an accounting of what happened. Dr Hema has a very warm and easily trusted personality. Personally I liked her and her male receptionist. I had an appointment today at 9 am for a filling piece that broke off but no pain. She told me it wasn't a broken filling but rather a chipped tooth on my back molar. She took x-rays of the tooth. She then looked at it and told me that I needed to have the solid and painless filling that was there drilled out, an impression taken to have a crown overlay made in a lab and then later put in place of where the old filling and the small piece that broke off, was. She also told me that there was a 50% chance whenever she works on any tooth, doing any procedure that it might result in needing a root canal. I thanked her for her time, paid the $107 due. The estimate for the work needed was $1,350 for a porcelain molar overlay but she recommended that I get gold and they were going to have to get that price quote from the lab. Dr Steve and Bridget Hurst are my regular dentists, but I went to Dr Hema since my original appointment at Dr Hurst's was a week away and I didn't want to wait. After my appointment with Dr Hema, I called to see if anyone had cancelled at Dr Hurst's, and was able to go in today at 2:00. I saw Dr Bridget Hurst. She confirmed that this was a broken filling and not a cracked tooth. She fixed the filling in a few minutes. No numbing medication was needed. I paid $101 and was very happy with my experience with Dr. Bridget Hursts service. Her chairside demeaner is also always very pleasant. I learned a valuable lesson today. I trust Dr Steve and Bridget Hurst and their staff. I almost made a terrible mistake by choosing to go somewhere else. Thank God my mistake only cost me $107 and not much more in pain, $, and uncomfortable waiting time for an unnecessary crown overlay to be made. Thank you Dr Bridget for being patient focused and not $ focused. read more

Dr Hurst seems pretty relatable, but he clearly does not know what it's like to have no teeth unless you pay someone like him a ransom you can't afford! He is unethical and irresponsible for taking advantage of my low income status. I qualified and participated in his 'free 4-on-1 dental implant program' through the 'California Implant Institute'. Dr. Hurst's ransom for me to have teeth again is $22,000 that I don't have, That's $6,000 more than another dentist has offered me to complete the job with four-on-one cubic zirconium permanent dentures. I knew that there would be a cost for the teeth as part of the free dental implants program. However, none of his staff made it clear to me how much the cost would be until four months after it was too late. Dr. Hurst needs willing patients to certify dentists on installing implants. If patients were made fully aware of the costs to complete the implants with the necessary abutments and teeth, there wouldn't be patients available to certify dentists with. He's charging several thousand dollars more than a certified dentist in the US charges for the whole dental implant process! If the cost had been disclosed to me before having all my teeth removed, I would not have participated in the program. I had a hereditary form of jaw cancer that pushed out my lower teeth. My jaw had to be broken in two places and reshaped as part of the implant placements. I was missing two upper teeth and had veneers. Those are all gone now because he advised the 'Free 4-on-1 Dental Implants' program would be best for me to have a perfectly matching set of teeth. I should be feeling grateful for the work that was done on me without charge. Because of the deception that was involved, I can't get my teeth back, nor can I afford to replace them. I have only regret! Doctors are supposed to do no harm! Why does Dr. Hurst harm low income patients for money he doesn't need??? Dr Hurst charges $10k each to the dentists he certifies through his program. In my case, the upper arch wasn't done correctly the first time. So, after a lot of undue pain, the upper four had to be completely redone four months later. At that point, Dr. Hurst had grossed $30k just from the dentists that installed my implants. What did I get out of the deal? Pain, the embarrassment of having no teeth, and compromised health because I can't chew food! I have had to deal with pain every day, and my health has suffered because I can't chew food. Dentures don't work over implants, except aesthetically. I can't even get dental insurance now, because I have no teeth! Dr Hurst is too good of dentist to be involved in such a reckless, irresponsible, and deceptive program. Exploiting low income patients that turn to his program because they need dental restoration is a terrible thing to do. He should be ashamed of himself for all the people he's harmed just for money he doesn't even need. read more

Outstanding service and professional staff! I drive from Los Angeles because of their excellent work. Dr. Steve is da man! read more

Great group; very friendly and professional. I've had crowns, fillings, and an implant performed by this office with excellent results. I just started my Invisalign program today, and the initial fitting was perfect. I highly recommend this dental group. read more

I went through Dr Hurst's free dental implant program and had his office do my implant restorations. I had been quoted 50k to have implants put in at another dentist. Going through Dr. Hursts program saved me thousands of dollars. They pulled all my old teeth, did bone planing and installed 10 implants in my mouth for free. The restorations aren't free but they were reasonable. I had done what's called all-on-four and am very pleased with the end result. The work performed at their office is top-notch. I have to give special thanks to Val who did most of the work on my restorations. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words so I've posted mine beloew with my fantastic new smile. Thanks so much to Dr Steve and all his staff. read more

Hurst Dental Care - General Dentistry Near Me - San Diego, California

My family and I have been going to Hurst Dental care for more than a decade. Every experience is wonderful. The staff and doctors are so warm and welcoming. Great location, clean and always a 5 star experience. Thanks team for taking good care of me and my beautiful teeth read more

Great dental practice with super thorough and gentle teeth cleanings. Highly recommend.

Doctor Steve has a real talent for dentistry! This has been my favorite dentist office since I was a little kid. Doctor Steve is a second generation dentist in this office and his wife shares his practice too! Doctor Steve Never hurts me (I'm a real baby!) and is incredibly awesome at his craft! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone, but I still need to be able to get an appiontment! :-) Thanks for the being the best Doctor Steven Hurst! read more

Dr. Hurst and his team are wonderful and I'm so lucky that I have found them as, let's be honest, finding a good dentist is almost an art-form. I don't have dental insurance and their pricing is fair and solid for a cleaning, x-rays and thorough screening. I have never felt they were up-selling me or "finding an issue" just to make a few extra dollars. The hygienists that I have for my cleanings have been absolutely lovely. Making it as painless as possible for someone who never enjoys going to the dentist. And I have never had to wait but 5 minutes for my appointment - amazing! Recently, I had a sharp pain in my top left molar and, as I was leaving for a three-week trip the next day, felt the need to make an emergency appointment to make sure it was nothing major. They got me in within thirty minutes, took x-rays and after review - made me feel at ease with what they found, with a back-up plan in case my issue persisted while traveling. As I was checking-out, Dr. Hurst told his receptionist to list it as a consultation (as they knew I did not have dental insurance) and therefore, I walked out free of charge. In short: great dentist, great team and a great business ethic and practice. read more

I've had terrible experiences with dentists in the past. I actually look forward to an appointment now! I started going to Hurst Dental the week before quarantine began. 2020 was going to be my year to take care of thing I had been putting off! I had several procedure during quarantine and felt safe and comfortable. The whole team is amazing, patient and kind, but Robin is simply the best. I just wish I could hug her. She also encouraged me to have my wisdom teeth removed, something I've been putting off for about 20 years. I recommend Hurst Dental to everyone I know. My partner is now a patient as well as two of my employees. Huge thank you to the Hurst team for making the dentist a pleasant experience. read more

I found this office through research on the internet. I was very happy with the professionalism the day I walked in (two days ago), and the team and doctor were friendly and full of great information for me. I'll be back for a check up, teeth cleaning along with whitening. Thank you! Faith Cooke New Customer read more

I've been using the Dentists here since the 1990's. Steven and his wife, Bridget, are both dentists who live in the community. They took over the practice from his father. My wife and all four kids have used Steven, Bridget and Dr. Tan, and continue to use Hurst Dental still. My youngest child just went into the Marines and went in to get a cleaning and some work done before he went to boot camp. They are professional and personal. All three dentists are exceptional. They have 4+ dental hygienists. They are reasonably priced and on par with standard fees, but I think you'll get better work done for your money at Hurst Dental. They take most insurance too. They adapted well to the COVID restrictions and continued to treat patients that needed it. read more

I had my first deep teeth cleaning at Hurst Dental today with Sandy. I usually have anxiety going to the dentist but Sandee who's been my hygienist for a while she was awesome. I do recommend Hurst Dental for your dental work they're friendly, professional, And do great work. read more

I really like and appreciate both Dr. Hursts (Steven and Bridget) and have had especially great treatment visits with both, especially former. The Staff is very nice and understanding RE appointments: I am a disabled US Army veteran, rated 70%, due to military injuries and have some memory issues, compounded by my age, 65 yrs old. They are very understanding of this and and although they can't text or phone me, a handicapped old guy, early the morning of the appointment, like other Doctor and Dentists office have done that I have visited in the past (being a very busy office), I am VERY appreciative of their kindness and efficiency. Just recently, Dr. Steve was kind enough to take a few minutes, to temporarily fix one crown of mine: even though that service was not scheduled. I recommend this office to anyone, in Clairemont...heck: in San Diego ! read more

If you are in search of the most highly qualified dentist in this city, save yourself the troubles and stop looking, Dr. Steven Hurst and his staff is where you want to be. I've been with them for arox. 7 years and have been absolutely satisfied with every aspect of my experiences. It would be to your good should you be so privileged to have him as your dentist. The office is very clean. He's a God send. Thank you Dr. Hurst. read more

Dr. Steve was really helpful! I got an appointment within 24 hours for a stress fracture in my tooth. Seems 2020 is causing me to grind my teeth a little extra. He went above and beyond trying to help me, even adjusting my mouthguard to help protect my tooth going forward. This team is so helpful and really takes care of their patients! read more

I'm phobic about dentistry. I get anxious when people with sharp instruments approach my mouth! 0-: Recently I paid $97 to have my teeth cleaned by Eileen S, an RDH or Registered Dental Hygienist at the office of Dr. Steven Hurst, DDS. Eileen S is skilled with a sharp instrument, careful and gentle. She didn't stab my gums. (-; She didn't torture me. I survived the appointment. I even plan to return! Ok I might have squeezed the arm of the chair so hard that I strangled the poor thing, but I made it through the appointment! Eileen had a LOT of cleaning to do because I have avoided my dentist for over 2 years! My teeth are clean now, yay! The front desk staff at Dr. Hurst's office are patient and caring with me. They recommended that I try Eileen, and she's a great match for me. I asked the staff for a separate appointment for X-rays, because I wanted my cleaning appointment to be as stress-free as possible. I like the dentist here, Dr. Steven Hurst, because he listens and answers my questions. I first came to him for a second opinion several years ago because my previous dentist thought my tooth needed a filling, but instead of talking to me about it, my previous dentist communicated to the hygienist instead of to me! So I went to Dr. Steven Hurst for a 2nd opinion, and he took digital x-rays, and said my tooth was fine, and didn't need work, but they would watch it. Gotta love a dentist who DOESN'T wanna drill my teeth! Dr. Bridget Hurst is good too, but I met Dr. Steven Hurst first, and I'm used to him. Several of my relatives have come to this office, and they like it too. There are many other great hygienists there too. But when you're phobic like I am, you really need the right person, and Eileen S is the right match for me. SUGGESTION: It would be great if soft, relaxing music could be played in the room while my teeth are being cleaned. Also, if they really want to go high tech, they could add a screen which shows a series of relaxing scenes, such as a waterfall, or a sail boat floating in the sea! read more

Both Mrs. and Mr. Hurst have been my dentist during the years I have lived in SD county. I can't think of any major issue I have ever had here. They have always done the best job and numbing me before getting to work and on the rare occasion I've needed major work it was always done right the first time, which was great! Their laser cavity system is the bees knees as well and seems to be a lot less painful and quicker than the older method (even though cavities are never really that bad). Sadly, I don't live in the area any longer so and it's been difficult for me to find a dentist that can match Mrs. and Mr. Hurst; which is really a bummer. read more

Best dental experience I have ever had (and I hate going to the dentist...)!!!
