I have been to many different dental offices over the years and have been to good dentists and really bad dentists. I recently became a patient here and am very pleased with them. The environment is comfortable and relaxed. The entire staff is efficient, calm, patient, friendly, and so easy to talk with. The equipment is top notch. Honestly, I couldn't be happier and I'm glad we found them. Now I don't dread my dental appointments anymore. read more

I was just making calls seeking a new dental office for my family of 4. Seeing the positive reviews I gave mission trails a call, we live around the corner. The receptionist went through all of the info which had me on the phone for a while and at the very end she insisted that we get all new X-rays in order to be considered for cleanings! Which would be out of pocket expense, I explained to her that I could forward X-rays from 6 months ago for all of us and she preferred to turn our business away. I was SHOCKED! I called Love Your Smile Dentistry next and they treated me like they were happy to have our business and asked us to send over all from previous office and they would review. It felt scammy and rude, she literally did not care about adding 4 new patients to the practice. Would not recommend and the owners should know this is happening! read more

New owner since my last review. Wonderful staff but not the same since Dr. Ross retired.

We've been going to Mission Trails Dentistry for about nine months now and we're thrilled with their dental care. Between the two of us, we've had six cleanings (we go every three months) and one crown during this time and it's always a positive experience! We feel like we finally have a great dentist again with Dr. Murray -- it's been hard to find a new one since our fabulous dentist retired during the pandemic but we're in very good hands once again. And the office team is fabulous especially Penny and we love our hygienists Rachel and Geri. The office itself is state-of-the art and spacious and welcoming. So happy to have Mission Trails Dentistry -- we couldn't ask for anything more! read more

This place is a cash grab. They upsell and up charge. I have really good insurance through Delta. Mission Trails Dentistry was able to charge me a decent amount out of pocket for what they called......"a comprehensive oral evaluation-new patient". The dentist saw me for maybe 10 minutes or so. The front desk was vague about how much is covered with insurance, in other words, felt like I was bothering them for asking questions. Went to another dentist for the same thing and was charged much less out of pocket. The Dentist and front desk took more time and provided a clearer explanation of what is covered with my insurance. Just better overall care. Be careful with Mission Trails Dentistry read more

My family and I have been coming here for almost 20 years. Even through staff changes over the years it has been a consistently pleasant experience each time I visit. Dr. Ross was our provider for a long time and it's been a nice transition to Dr. Murray. He's kind and attentive like Dr. Ross was. Sundie is a wonderful hygienist. Upbeat, gives helpful advice on dental care, and just a lovely person. The front staff is easy to deal with. I actually really love my dental visits because of this place. :) read more

I have been going to Mission Trails Dentistry for over 20 years. The office is always clean, the front desk staff capable and courteous and the dental hygienist (Rachel) is extremely competent and provides professional feedback on gum health each visit. I have had my teeth straightened and veneers put on my lower front teeth. The two dentists that provided the services are on the top of their game and most pleasant. It is clear everyone at Mission Trails Dentistry tries to serve the needs of their customers. read more

This review is way over due. My family and I have been going to Mission Trails Dentistry for a few years now. We love our Hygienist Rivann. She is very good at her job. Everyone in the office is super professional and friendly. The office is very clean. If you are looking for a good Dental office look no further, this place will take care of you and your whole family. Thank you Mission Trails Dentistry for taking care us and make us feel welcoming every time read more

I went in for a cleaning, when I got there they didn't even do a cleaning instead they did a preliminary checkup and asked me to come back another day, then they charged me more than 100$ for the preliminary checkup I didn't even see want because they are out of network for my insurance. I would stay away from this place. Huge waste of time. read more

I never give 1 star reviews. In fact when I first came here I thought dr. Ross was great and to their credit the staff is amazing. The younger girl at the front desk is so so nice. I came here because I had been having tooth pain for a month. They got me in the same day and after doing a full comprehensive exam it was discovered that I had 3 cavities. One was deeper than the others but the other 2 were superficial. After getting them filled the pain never went away. I came in 3 times and was told that " I just had tooth grinding" and they checked my bite. Something felt off and I went to a different place for a second opinion as the pain was so bad I was downing Tylenol and Advil to the point of vomiting. Come to find out I had a cracked tooth. After this i wasn't going to leave a bad review, I just was going to switch dentists. Not every dentist is going to notice every little thing maybe it was just over looked right? Wrong. Come to find out I have 4 cracked teeth and need 4 root canals and crowns. How the hell do you miss FOUR CRACKED TEETH? Two of the teeth were the same ones that were filled here. In fact one of the fillings was so big it made the crack worse. I honestly have no clue if the dentists just don't care, dismissed my pain because I'm young or female or what the issue was. But I definitely had big cracks that needed crowns, and now after further investigation I need four. If you are just coming here for teeth cleaning it's good enough, staff is friendly but at this point I would consider this a form of malpractice and negligence. I wasted over $1200 on cavities for teeth that actually had much worse problems and my pain was dismissed as "teeth grinding". I had recommended this place to a few friends after my first visit but no way in hell I would let anyone I know come here. read more

For decades, dental visits were anxiety-ridden appointments that I had to muster up the courage to get through. Six years ago, a friend recommended Dr. Ross at Mission Trails Dentistry. I needed extensive work done and was dreading the process that I knew was ahead of me. Dr. Ross immediately put me at ease, patiently explained the treatment plan, and kept me calm, comfortable, and reassured every step of the way. The work he did turned out perfect... I love my new smile! Since then I've been back many times for all my regular cleanings and a few fillings - all very positive experiences. The hygienists are great... very informative, helpful, and painless. The front staff is professional and friendly. I highly recommend Mission Trails Dentistry! read more

My husband and I went there in January in order to get our teeth cleaned... three appointments later I had gotten xrays, a root canal, and cavities filled but no cleaning and then Covid hit. The office and staff were nice, but I was used to getting the xrays and cleaning done in the same appointment. Disappointed that it was going to take four appointments and a lot of money to make the one thing we went in for happen. read more

Dr. Ross has been my dentist for a few years now, and he is easily the best dentist I've ever had. The office is warm and inviting, the assistants and hygienists are friendly and very good at their jobs, and I always know I'll be leaving with a brighter smile than before. They've also given me specific instructions on how to improve my dental health, such as telling me if there are certain teeth I need to give more attention to when brushing, and diagnosing where pain or discomfort might be coming from. I was recently dealing with some jaw pain when eating sweet foods, and they managed to figure out the problem pretty much immediately. Overall I completely trust Dr. Ross and would recommend him to anyone! read more

Dishonest. Ultimately they stole $420 from me. My tooth broke and I got a crown here. Dr. Ross broke my tooth more when he tried to get the temporary crown off and then another crown had to be made. The crown eventually got installed but they charged me $420 more than the $730 I paid out of pocket that they promised would cover everything with my insurance (Delta Dental). If you go here get quote in writing before letting them do work. I told the receptionist/administrator (Hellen) I didn't agree with extra charge and she said they'd send me to collections if extra $420 wasn't paid. Then I spoke with Dr Ross and he told me to talk to the receptionist/administrator who said the cost went up $420 and reiterated that she'd send me to collections if I didn't pay. read more

Dr. Ross is awesome. I had real apprehension about all dentists after having a real shitty one as a kid! He's really good at what he does, and put me at ease the first time I came in. And due to my very real fear of dental work, he was really patient and listened to my many concerns. Of course there have been hiccups, but mainly on my end. Finding a dentist is hard, but he's the best I've ever had, and everyone in that office make you feel very comfortable. Now, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the real star of that show... Jo! She is the greatest hygienist on the planet. Period. Full stop! If that wonderful woman ever retires, my teeth are going to fall out, because I won't let anyone else clean my teeth. Thanks for fixing my mouth! You guys are the best. I highly recommend MTD- read more

i am so anxiety ridden over the dentist. i had the beat experience. everyone was friendly and helpful. i felt completely comfortable and well cared for every second. they actually care. read more

The best place to get your teeth cleaned and for any tooth problems to get fixed! Dr. Ian Murray is professional and knowledgeable, I had a tooth extracted that involved cutting, stitches and bone graft and the next day I had zero swelling or pain! Also did a crown and the results were perfect! All the staff is super nice and I recommend getting your teeth cleaned by the experts here to avoid future problems! read more

Nice office and staff. Excellent digital x-rays, consultation with Dr. Ian Murray, and treatment plan. Also easy parking.

Finding the right dentist in San Diego has been alot like finding the love of your life... You come across alot of frogs before meeting that special prince! Well I found that one special dental office here! You can really tell that this dentist is genuine and really cares about his patients. I went here to get a crown glued on and they were respectful of my decisions and treated me like an individual instead of just another patient. Overall best dentist I've been to in San Diego. They are clean, great customer service, and authentic. You will not get upsales here and unnecessary work done but they take care of what you need. They also keep you well informed. Too me that makes a world of a difference. They do not take my insurance however, having someone trust worthy work on my mouth who really cares is worth paying out of pocket! It is also worth it's price in gold! I totally reccommend this dental office! I definitely will not be going anywhere else in the future but here. read more

i just had my teeth cleaned by Joe.. she is great!!!! she does a very through job scaling my teeth and polishing up my grill.i feel like i got new teeth thanks Joe and all the staff at mission trails!!!! BTW Dr Jim is now certified by the AACD that makes him one of the TOP 1% in cosmetic Dentistry... it's nice to know that your being handle by one of the best in the country!!!! read more

Dr Salazar did the porcelain crowns on my 4 front teeth. I love them, it was a few years ago, I was recommended by a friend and I thought the work was great! I would still be a customer , but after this work his front office simply pushed too hard to sell me to other services. I got 3 phone calls, all presumptive closes, to schedule a crown. $#(((@*@&* It made me go to another dentist. Tell them to kill the the hard sell and I think they would do a good job for you and again I love my fake front teeth! read more

If you are interested in a dentist, and staff that is professional, takes pride in their work, with high quality results, this is the place to go. Dr. Ross, and his staff are the Best! I have been going into this office for many years, getting crowns, and more than a few implants, All with very happy results. A big Thank You to Mission Trails, Dr. Ross, and all of his staff! read more

After searching for a very long time, I finally came to Mission Trails Dentistry where I found the best dentists I have had since I was a little girl. The staff is amazing, the offices are so clean & nice & Dr. Salazar is THE BEST! They are thorough, genuine & honest. I very proudly recommend them to everybody I know! My mom transferred to them immediately & has been VERY happy since doing so. I have zero complaints about them & am sure I never will. If you are looking for the best denitst office in San Diego then look no further & call Mission Trails Dentistry!! You will NOT regret it!!! read more

My mom had an appliance fitted for Sleep Apnea. It has made such a difference in her sleep pattern at night! Dr. Ross and his staff are kind, professional and highly skilled! My brother-in-law is being fitted for one now since he couldn't tolerate the c-pap machine. It really is a miracle! read more

I was referred to Mission Trails Dentistry by my regular DDS, who did not offer a cosmetic teeth whitening service. I was very pleased with my results from the "Opalescence" Boost procedure, which Mission Trails Dentistry provided. My teeth brightened up, and were noticeably 2-3 shades whiter immediately afterwards. Adrian, who performed the service, was wonderful! She went over every detail with me before hand, and she answered ALL of my questions, as well. There were no surprises, or hidden costs! It took, in total, about an hour and a half. But, it was so worth it to see the noticeable improvements made to my smile! A big thank you to the entire professional office staff at Mission Trails Dentistry! read more

I Love this office, Dr Murray is AWESOME and so understanding, for the first time in my life I'm not afraid of the dentist office. He did a Great job and gave me back my self confidence. Helen in the billing dept is also Awesome actually the entire staff is, thank you SO MUCH for everything! The cost was very reasonable but what I did was every payday I would give the dentist office money in advance and created an account with them so when it was time for my work to be done the cost wasn't a problem, I would give $150 to $300 every two weeks to cover whatever my insurance didn't cover. I highly recommend patients do this because it truly helps and feels great knowing I don't have any bills. Great Job everyone and God Bless you and your family Dr Murray! read more

This Dentist and the office are the best I have ever been too. To sum it up with three reasons: the office is super clean! Secondly, the staff and the doctor are very friendly and professional. The attention to detail, from the dentist, was extraordinary and clarifying. Thirdly, surprisingly affordable. I didn't have dental insurance, and it was much lower than I was thinking I was going to pay! Overall, Mission Trails Dentistry is great. We even got a Christmas gift! read more

Anyone with a heart can change the world, one smile at a time. I saw the news clip, today you are my hero. I know God will bless your family and practice. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Ross and Dr. Salazar on and off for about 6 years. I have had great experiences with both of them in the dental chair. Both Doctors are extremely knowledgeable, honest and caring. I don't feel as if I'm being "sold" on anything I don't need. The office staff is friendly, however they have messed up my appointments twice now. It wouldn't be such a hassle, but I travel to this office from quite a distance. That is my only, frivolous complaint. i will continue to schedule appointments for routine check-ups and dental work at this office. read more

Brad Ross and his group are the best dentists I have seen in my 50 years of going to dentists. His work is excellent with crowns (I had 5) to fillings and even teeth cleaning, etc. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing good quality dentistry. read more

Dr. Bradley Ross has provided me with a very specialized device, a mouthpiece designed to treat sleep apnea. Not many dentists are qualified to do this. I'm so happy that I found Dr. Ross because he is very knowledgeable, highly skilled, kind, gentle, and he explains everything he is doing. His office is impeccably clean and I love everyone who works in his office. I highly recommend Dr. Ross for all your dental care! read more

Dr. Ross and all the staff at Mission Trails Dentistry are fantastic! I grind my teeth resulting in some noticeable wear and cracking. Dr. Ross suggested veneers to protect my teeth and restore my smile. I love them! They look like my younger teeth again. I also have a new night guard to protect my teeth. I couldn't be happier and I highly recommend Dr. Ross and Mission Trails Dentistry! read more

Absolutely LOVE this dentist! I have been a patient for years. I decided to start bringing my children here and Dr.Ross took amazing care of them. He provides very personal, professional, and superb service! read more

Painless, Professional and Honest. Dr. Ross has just pulled a tooth and is working on an implant. In my youth I utilized a dentist who was painful and left me with a fear of dentists. Dr. Ross has provided me with guidance for my dental card and truly has my best interest in mind. His was was painless and I am thankful for his care. read more

ALRIGHT! i have an awesome dentist i can trust. Dr Salazar is very professional & talented. i dreaded having 3 old metal fillings replaced & the experience was in fact as pleasant as could be . i have PPO & this hour-long procedure cost me $266 out of pocket. i predict he will nip any future problems in the bud, cuz i'll always go twice per year. i feel bad for all the people i know who haven't seen a dentist in years; Dr Salazar & his staff are perfect & not to be scared of. office nice & clean. read more

I have been Dr Ross's patient for more than 25 years. Dr Ross is the most professional and competent dentist I have ever had. When I moved out of the area around 10 years ago I made the huge mistake of going to a dentist close to where I lived. I then realized how impressive Dr Ross and his talents were. I immediately went back to his office and have been a loyal patient ever since. Dr. Ross is a perfectionist and I trust him implicitly with my oral health. read more

Really pleased I switched recently to this office. It's close to home and their service is impeccable. They were thorough and courteous from the moment I made the Appointment to the moment I left the office after my exam and cleaning. I Highly recommend Dr. Ross and his team. read more

Before I found mission Trails Dentistry I was terrified to go to the dentist... Dr Ross and his staff make taking care of my teeth easy! Now I can get my teeth cleaned by someone very careful and professional. Dr Ross treats me like a Dr should. He's kind and patient. He really listens to me. I would recommend them to anyone especially people with fears about going to the dentist. If I can go you can too!!! Thanks Dr Ross! Beth read more

Dr. Ross is an amazing person. He treated my Dad (who has Alzheimer's) with compassion and care. My Dad avoided dentists all of his life, and had the teeth to show for it. Dr. Ross made a treatment plan for my Dad and helped him (and us) to follow through with it. He showed concern for us and for him and was always available to me to explain all procedures. In addition, my sister loves Dr. Ross for his patience with a very nervous customer! You can feel very secure that he will provide you with the best dental care around. read more

It's really hard to find a good dentist, but their office is outstanding! The staff are all really friendly, always work with you to help you find an appointment, the doctors are friendly and they're really good at explaining what's necessary vs. what's just an option to do, and they're never pushy with services. The hygenists are obviously well trained and knowledgeable, the office is clean, and they are willing to work with you for payment plans. I would definitely recommend friends and even though I moved to LA I still go back to them!!! read more
