Dr. Cvetan Mechev is truly the best! I am in need of a tooth implant and before that can be done, I needed to strengthen my jaw bone to allow for the implant. Dr. Mechev has done extensive study on a cutting edge bone graft procedure that has a remarkable success rate. He is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in this new procedure but he was also great in explaining the process to me. His communication skills and caring nature calmed my nerves and the procedure was very successful. After I heal, Dr. Mechev will move forward with the next step in the process. I am very grateful to have such a great doctor taking care of me! read more

I had a complicated tooth extraction. I was pretty anxious. They were so nice and helped me relax. It was not painful and they explained what was going on throughout the procedure. They were wonderful and it did not hurt. I also need a ton of work. They are not judgemental and the dentist was understanding. We have a plan to prioritize things and do it over time. I appreciate them a lot. read more

What an awesome way to make me smile! Last week Dr. Mechev created and applied my new veneers. I am fascinated by the precision of the process and the ingenuity of this new method to get a beautiful bright smile. The veneers are individually shaped following the scans of my teeth. This makes them look natural, not fake, as they follow the shapes of my own teeth. Each one is only 200 microns thin, which is as thin as contact lenses! This makes the veneers fit precisely on my teeth, as well as not create bulkiness and help create their natural look. The veneers are made from a groundbreaking new material, which is smooth, strong and allows for a natural shiny surface that would never stain. The veneers will retain their whiteness forever! The best advantage of this new method (prep-less veneers) is that it is completely painless and no anesthetic is needed. Unlike the regular process of getting veneers, where your teeth need to be filed to a third of their size using anesthesia, this new method does not require filing or grinding your teeth at all! No anesthesia needed! They are just cemented, bonded on top of your natural teeth. Thank you, Dr. Mechev! My new smile is dazzling and I feel like smiling more every day because of this! read more

Highly recommend Excellent dentist and stuff. Very professional! Pretty and clean practice

I had a couple of problems that needed fixing on super short notice!! They got me in and that's much appreciated... If you have a phobia of Dentists, need minor fixes or have a complex situation, there is only ONE dentist in the Western United States that you should choose- DR. MECHEV- period! The skills, technology and comfort that La Mesa Dental Center offers is second to none! GREAT Dentist, great staff, great experience- read more

Well, all I wished for and set an appointment for was a simple cleaning and x-rays; i Did not ask, for nor was asked, if I was willing to pay an for any additional procedures that consisted of little else than a visual exam. it didn't break the bank, but as far as I am concerned, it was just a way to pad another$100.00 . As a fellow health-care provider I would consider it unethical to have a patient come in for a procedure and then stack another on top of it without asking if it was okay: I didn't make a fuss at the time, but I am calling them on it now read more

Always a positive experience here having my teeth cleaned. Staff very professional and courteous. It is always a pleasure during my office visit, and I am very comfortable. read more

After years of dealing with my gum infection I lost the bone around 3 of my teeth. I wanted dental implants. My dentist sent me to a dental surgeon . The surgeon told me that because I lost a lot of bone it was very difficult or impossible to have dental implants. I saw 2 more oral surgeons snd 1 mor dentist . All of them kept telling me I had a big bone loss and I was not a dental implants candidate. I found Dr Mechev on google. His site indicated he had a grrat expertise on growing bone for dental implants in difficult cases. The office is duper clean and hi-tech.He explained to me that bone could be predictably grown in my my jaw bone for dental implants. He did my surgery 4 months ago. Today I saw my jaw scan showing me that he was able to grow bone for my dental implants in my jaw. My dental implants are scheduled in 3 weeks. I am very thankful to the whole team of la Mesa Dental Center. read more

I had an old crown replaced yesterday. it took less than 90 minutes from start to finish, including the removal , sizing, manufacturing and setting! Watching the making of the actual crown was an excellent experience. Dr Mechev and his staff continue to be top notch! Displaying superior service, expertise and professionalism plus a great sense of humor all contribute to making the patient feel more comfortable and relaxed. Dr Mechev reviews every step of the process and has the most up to date information and equipment short of a hospital. Even though he is not in an HMO or PPO, he does accept a variety of insurance plans to offset the expenses. Very happily answers any questions you might have including finding out if they don't have the best answer available. Well worth the time & expense for the amazing level of care they provide. read more

It's been awhile since I last seen a dentist. My last experience was not so great, that I had put off seeing a dentist for some time. I was recently referred to another dentist and happened to find La Mesa Dental Center by accident. They had amazing reviews, so I decided to give them a shot. All the old feelings I had while in the waiting room had surfaced. Anxiety, stress and the feeling of my not so pleasant experience in the past. Well, I was immediately relieved. From my experience with the front desk to the dental assistant to the dentist. I felt at ease. They were all very helpful and made me feel comfortable. With that being said I had made future appointments and is safe to say I found my new dentist! read more

Great dentistry! I really appreciate the patience and communication that the dentist Dr. Mechev is able to deliver every time. The office is very professional and modern. I can tell that the Dr. Mechev takes a lot of care and pride in his work and it shows in the fillings and work on my teeth. Would definitely recommend this clinic to all my family and friends read more

I had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Mechev again today. We have many family members and friends who have been his patients for years. There is not enough room here to explain what Dr. M. has done for all of us. He has literally saved the smile and teeth for two of our friends. I would highly recommend Dr. M. for any dental need or advice. My husband currently has braces and I'm scheduled for a few things. We've never considered another dentist. If you look at his information, you'll see all of the things he does in-house. It saves time and money going to a different place. Thank you, Dr. M. for just being you! read more

Dr. Mechev is by FAR the BEST dentist I've ever met! Thanks to my heredity, I have susceptible gums & teeth, and I've lived in about a dozen places, so I've had a lot of dentists/periodontists! Dr. Mechev is up on all the latest in dentistry, and has cutting-edge equipment worth many hundreds of thousands of dollars, enabling him to do everything in his office, in one appointment. He just fixed my broken molar by designing & making a brand new porcelain crown for me--I was in & out in less than 2 hours! Dr. M walked me through the process, inviting me to watch as each high-tech machine did its work. It was so cool, I sent a video of each stage to my family! Dr. Mechev is always educating himself on the newest procedures from the world's foremost practitioners, traveling to train with the best. Whether you need basic cleaning/dentistry or advanced help like me, you will love Dr. M's warm personality, insistence on perfection, extremely reasonable pricing, and fresh, modern dental suite. His dental hygienist Sarah has a very light, painless touch and is also warm and kind, she makes getting your teeth cleaned a breeze! If you're looking for a dentist, look no further, Dr. Mechev is your man! If you don't LOVE your current dentist, go see Dr. M for a consultation--you'll be happy you did! read more

I have been seeing Dr Mechev for several years now, and am constantly amazed at his skill and level of knowledge. He has the most state of the art equipment, and continues to educate himself in new techniques. Great care is taken in ensuring that the environment is safe and as germ-free as possible. I really appreciate that he looks not only at tooth and gum health, but also will check for mouth cancer and swollen neck glands, and does very comprehensive x-rays. He can do a wide range of dental procedures, so it is not necessary to go to other specialists. read more

He is one caring and compationate dentist as well as being a perfectionist. Karen Drimmel read more

There are a lot of Dentists to choose from. I first chose this office because they have the one-stop Cerec crown system. I've had them before and expected that I may need more. I was pleasantly suprised at my first visit. A throughly modern practice, efficient and friendly. Dr. Mechev took a fair amount of time to go over my xrays and even showed me my trouble spots with a wand camera that projected onto a large TV. Being able to see what he was seeing really helped me to make the move to get treatment. COVID had me go two years without any dental care. The hygienist used an ultrasound device rather than the picks my previous dentist used to clean plaque. This dentist can't be beat on modern technique and his staff is the best. read more

I reached out Dr. Mechev not for dental work - I was seeking donations of N95 masks for Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center - they have more covid cases than any other facility in San Diego at the time of this review. I've called and messaged so many businesses in the area seeking help and everyone is struggling to keep their own staff protected, so imagine my delight when Dr. Mechev responded in just a few hours with a donation! I have not received dental work from him but just knowing what a big and generous heart he has, I'd jump in that chair! read more

There is a reason that Dr. Mechev has all five stars. He is that good. He is so professional and he is such a dental nerd - I mean that in the best possible way. He is so interested in correcting your problem the right way and so meticulous in his execution. He obviously LOVES what he does. After having a really really bad dental year where another dentist left me with a temporary crown and then refused to treat me, Dr. Mechev saved the day. Understandably, I was really freaking nervous to have to talk to yet another dentist and start over. He talked through my complicated case with me until he truly understood the history and the path forward. I never felt like he rushed me or dismissed what I was telling, as others had. I had a bit of initial hesitation because after we sorted out the crown issue I did an exam and he told me several old fillings needed to be replaced and that I had some other issues to resolve. But I decided to move forward and trust him and he showed me every time that we picked the right path. All those old fillings weren't sealing my teeth well and I had obvious decay behind them once they were removed. I will say that he tends to get behind during the day, and while that is normally very frustrating to me, I understand that it happens because he is spending so much time with his patients to determine and execute the perfect treatment plan. It wouldn't hurt though if he built in a little extra time for that, but minor delays are worth it to see him! read more

Dr. Mechev is the BEST! He has worked with my wife and she has always comes back with a smile. She calls him her angel. Even my sister-in-law and mother-in-law have had a great experience. Keep up the good work doctor! I am looking forward to my visit coming soon. read more

I went to Dr. Mechev for a second opinion on my son's wisdom teeth. And while his opinion was the same as the first dentist his attitude and demeanor and knowledge were far superior. Both my son and I immediately trusted him and his staff who were extremely polite. We had the work done with Dr. Mechev who kept me updated throughout the procedure while I waited in the waiting room. This was my first time at La Mesa Dental Center and will not be my last. read more

I've been coming here for 20+ years, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. The staff, the doctor and his evident passion for this work, the environment and overall treatment is nothing short of excellent. This is not only my preferred dentistry, but a staff of people I've had the pleasure of growing up with. Not sure who else I can trust with my pearly whites! read more

Office tells me they're going to waive the fee on my first visit since I was out of network, then several weeks later bills me $170 for the visit after I tell them I'm going to find a dentist in my network. $170 for a cleaning and exam and I have insurance. Completely ridiculous, I paid a third of that for 2 replacement fillings. Feeling robbed and lied to read more
