PBSmiles Dentistry in Pacific Beach provides excellent care. Earlier this year, after my hygienist…read morecleaned my teeth, Dr. Gee reviewed my X-rays and suspected cavities in three of my teeth. He and his team thoroughly explained the necessary treatments, procedures, reasons, costs, and the order in which to work on my teeth, since I had to budget. Since then, I had a cap replaced on a front tooth, and Michelle took great care to ensure the color matched perfectly. This week, I had two crowns replaced efficiently in one day. All three teeth indeed had cavities! I am fortunate to have them located here in Pacific Beach.

I never write reviews, but this experience was so ridiculous that I feel obligated to warn people…read more I went to PB Smiles for a cleaning and somehow left with a 7-visit, $2,000+ out-of-pocket treatment plan (over $8,000 without insurance). This included a crown, inlay, several fillings, and an entire-mouth laser treatment because I supposedly had developed gum disease in the year since I had last seen them. The hygienist and dentist were both incredibly rude and insensitive, and they made me feel ashamed and embarrassed about my teeth rather than actually helping me. I told a friend about the experience afterward, and they said it sounded like I had been treated as if I were an addict about to lose all of my teeth, which is basically how I felt leaving that place. I've struggled with cavities since I was young, but no dental office has ever treated me like this before. The communication between the staff and the general level of care and attention were completely missing. I told the woman who took my X-rays that I had sensitivity when flossing a particular tooth. When the hygienist came in to measure my gums, she said she heard I was experiencing bleeding on one of my teeth. I corrected her and explained that, no, it was just sensitivity when flossing and biting. Then, when the dentist came in, he said, "Okay, so you're experiencing no issues or sensitivities, correct?" I told him again that I had already told both women that I had a tooth that was sensitive when I flossed. He said that was because I had gum disease and needed the laser treatment. I explained that the sensitivity was on the top of the tooth, and he then said that was why I needed the crown. The funniest part is that after spending nearly two hours there, I still didn't even get the cleaning I came in for. Thankfully, I got a second opinion from a dentist who was recommended to me. Turns out I only needed two fillings, and my gums are completely fine. He found no need for the laser treatment, crown, inlay, or the whole $2,000 treatment plan. He also told me that he has seen other patients who came to him with similar experiences after being seen at PB Smiles and other "Smiles" locations. When I called PB Smiles to cancel and told the front desk that I had gotten a second opinion and believed they were trying to scam me, the woman I spoke to immediately became defensive and said that different dentists can recommend different treatments. Different treatment plans I understand, but how does PB Smiles measure every single area of my gums 3+ mm deeper than the other dentist? At that point, the difference feels a lot less like "different treatment philosophies" and a lot more like a very expensive (and terribly executed) sales pitch. Get a second opinion before agreeing to anything here. I'm extremely glad I did.

I've been going to PB Dentistry for over 10 years, and they continue to exceed my expectations…read more Recently, my dental insurance changed and my benefits were no longer accepted at their office. Despite that, when I had a filling fall out just two days before a wedding, I called Dr. Snider's office hoping they could squeeze me in for an emergency appointment. Not only were they able to get me in on short notice, but they also repaired the filling and made it look even better than before. Their professionalism, care, and willingness to help truly meant a lot. I would highly recommend PB Dentistry to anyone looking for an exceptional dental office!

This dental office was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had. I often felt that my…read moreconcerns were not taken seriously and that the office was unprofessional. Before my appointment, I called Diana for pricing information. At my first visit, the staff was friendly, and Dr. Mansour addressed my original concern before informing me that I also had a cavity. I asked to have it treated that day but was told to schedule another appointment. Before leaving, I asked about the cost of the denture reline and partial dentures, but the in-person price differed from what I had been told over the phone. That's already frustrating. When I returned for the cavity treatment, I noticed afterward that the tooth appeared chipped, although it had not looked that way beforehand. I brought it to Dr. Mansour's attention, but she repeatedly said, "I don't know," and denied causing it. She made an adjustment, but the tooth remained uneven. She later showed me a photo indicating that the tooth had been thin trying to make a point that she didn't do anything. My concern was not the thinness of the tooth but it's chipped. I asked her if she can fix it and she said improving its appearance and the gap would cost an additional $160 because insurance would not cover it. I also brought in my loose denture for adjustment. During a follow-up visit, while Dr. Mansour went to retrieve it, I overheard it being dropped on the floor twice and did not hear that it was cleaned. When it was returned, it was extremely tight, difficult to insert, and had black stains that were not there before. Again I asked her if she can fixed it, I was told she can't because she didn't have the tools and advised to wear it for a few days, but I returned after seeing its condition in daylight. It was eventually sent to another department for cleaning, they said they will try to put a solution to it to remove the black stains though it still had sharp, uneven areas. After further adjustments, it became loose again but tight enough that it would hold. I was also charged $100 for the cleaning, even though I felt the denture had been returned in worse condition. I should not have to pay again for their mistake and poor work but I paid the fee anyways. I was just happy it was cleaned but decided not to continue with my remaining treatment and canceled my future procedures. A few weeks later, I called about repairing the chipped tooth and gap which I was quoted before for $160, because it really bothers me and I thought of giving them another chance instead of going to a different clinic thinking it's only a very small Job, what else could go wrong this time. The person who answered the phone said she could not hear me, so I had to explain myself repetitively twice to 3x, she then took my phone number, and promised to call back, but never did and I don't think they would. I got upset, but I had every reason to be. I paid for a service and received a denture with black stains that caused bleeding and pain in my gums for days. Considering the situation, I think I was actually very nice and patient compared to how most people would be. Overall, I was disappointed by the quality of care, communication, and professionalism. The clinic seemed unsanitary, and they do not care at all of their patients. I will be seeking a new dentist and would not recommend this office.

The only way I could be less satisfied is if I did the work myself and left it half finished. The…read moreprices seem high especially since the dentist only comes in and finishes the work that the dental hygientist perform. I had two crowns replaced and a cavity filled. The dentist did the shots and drilling and the final cementing, but otherwise it was I think a dental hygientist did everything else. Also, I felt like I was in Mexico as there was more spanish spoken than english. Also, there was a typical bait and switch. I had complete xrays taken and was told that I needed 2 crowns replaced. At the end of the replacement ( several weeks later), they took final xrays and low and behold, I know need another crown replaced. Why wasn't it seen in the first xray. One thing that they are really good at is reminding you when your next appointment is. I received at least one email, text and phone call every day prior to the procedure for about a week. I guess they really need the money.

Beware of All Coast Dental…read more Where do I even begin? In my adult life, I've never been asked to pay for dental services before receiving them -- but All Coast Dental seems to have made that their policy. Every visit, I've paid in full at the end of my appointment. I always asked them to run my insurance beforehand so I could have a clear understanding of costs, but they were consistently unhelpful. After I changed jobs and insurance, I informed them right away -- yet they still tried to blame billing issues on me. Their customer service is non-existent. My last straw was during a crown procedure they claimed I needed (even though I had zero issues with the existing one). The procedure, which was supposed to take less than an hour, turned into over two hours of extreme pain. While I was in the chair and in severe discomfort, they made me sign something -- completely inappropriate given my condition. My tooth hurt for weeks afterward. To make matters worse, my wife was told she also needed to replace her crown. Thankfully, I told her to get a second opinion, and she was told she didn't need it at all. That speaks volumes. Now they're saying I owe a balance, despite always paying immediately whenever they messed up billing in the past. They even tried to make me responsible for my spouse's bill when we had clearly stated we'd each handle our own. I get that some people might have to use them because they're in-network, but consider this your warning -- plenty of other dental offices are worth the wait. I'm likely going to have to take this to small claims court just to settle the matter. I just wish someone had left a review like this before I went through it.

We've been patients of Dr Cunningham for five years, ever since we moved down from Los Angeles…read more The care from him and his staff has been excellent. Oh, there's been the occasional billing snafu, but these are rectified quickly. Dr. Cunningham himself is a great dentist, personable and caring. He even met me at the office at 6:30 am once to take care of a problem I was having. The building where his office is located has been undergoing reconstruction/renovation for over two years, but it looks like it'll wrap up soon. His new office space is quite nice and laid out very well. The office is observing all ADA COVID protocols, and there are open air waiting chairs for anyone who doesn't want to sit in the waiting room. Being La Jolla, parking can be an issue, but there is a shared below ground car park in the building that has reopened.

They were extremely attentive, patient, and thorough, and they always took the time to answer all of my questions. One of the things I appreciate most about Dr. Corley is her honesty and integrity. She has never recommended unnecessary treatments or services, and I always feel like she genuinely has my best interests in mind.

Unacceptable Experience with Dentist Haldy…read more I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the services I received from Dentist Haldy, despite being highly recommended by a colleague. I paid an exorbitant $6,000 for a bridge in 2023, with half covered by my dental insurance and the remaining of $3,000 still being paid off through Care Credit. My experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. Within the first week, the new bridge cracked, forcing me to endure more hours of drilling and the humiliation of wearing a temporary bridge while waiting for a replacement. After yet another installation, the bridge fell off again a year later. This has made me feel as though I purchased a defective product. When I brought my concerns to Dentist Haldy's attention, requesting at least a partial refund or assistance with my Care Credit balance, he dismissed my request and had his dental assistant finish the work without addressing my complaints. To make matters worse, the assistant refused to engage with me about my legitimate concerns and sent out a receptionist who was not only aggressive but also rude. It was clear she was trained to handle "difficult clients" with contempt, talking over me and deflecting any responsibility onto me as if I were the problem. I reiterated my hope that Dentist Haldy would take his reputation seriously and address my frustrations before I feel compelled to escalate my dissatisfaction further. Instead, the receptionist mocked my concerns, showing a complete lack of professionalism and care. This situation is unacceptable, and I expect a prompt response addressing my grievances. Failure to do so may leave me no choice but to pursue other avenues to ensure my voice is heard and my concerns are taken seriously.
