I started going to Packard Dental a few years ago when I was in need of a new dentist and I was impressed after my first visit. The staff is very friendly and I always feel like I'm in good hands when I'm there. I've had cleanings, a root canal and a crown and I've been satisfied every time! They always make sure I'm comfortable and that I understand why/what they are doing every step of the way. They have suggested different techniques specific to my needs and mouth. I've been to different dentists in the past that make me feel like they are suggesting unnecessary work and I can honestly say I've never once questioned their recommendations. I would highly recommend this office to anyone in need of a new dentist! read more

Going to the dentist office was never a fun visit for me until I was referred to Dr. Jared and Kendra at Packard Dental. Now I never miss an appointment and I always look forward to seeing the staffs' friendly faces. Everyone is so polite and professional. Kendra, the dental hygienist does a thorough job. She makes me feel at ease in her chair, checks in with me to make sure I'm not in pain and conversation is always interesting! The new office is very high-tech and the flatscreen TVs on the ceiling keeps me distracted. My visits are always short and sweet and I walk out of there with a smile! read more

Packard Dental - Thanks Kendra!! #packarddental #prettysmiles - Orthodontists Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I'm a new patient. Just went in today (3/7/2016) for my first visit. Already love this place. Customer care from all staff members made you feel like they truly care about your needs. Everyone is kind, thorough in their information, diligent when making the right calls (insurance, records from past dentists) to help determine the best pricing, AND, last but not least, the office is impeccably clean. I'm going back in for some much needed work on my teeth. I'll keep you posted. I'm really happy to have found this dental office (through yelp, actually :) read more

Today I was lucky enough to sit in Dr Matt's chair and be crowned! I have had this crown for over 20 years and needless to say was a tad bit worried how it looked underneath and how replacing it would go, but NOT to my surprise Matt and his beautiful assistant Kyla did a phenomenal job and put me right at ease!! Now I have a beautiful new WHITE tooth! THANK YOU for treating me so amazing and letting me believe I'll now be "Royal" read more

We just moved to the area and were referred to Packard Dental and couldn't have been more pleased with the referral. My kids, 4 and 6, loved their previous dental office (which is crazy since who knew kids could love the dentist?!) so I was concerned we wouldn't be able to replace that. From the first phone call, to the in person greetings we received the day of our visits, I was so impressed with how friendly every staff member is. The kids saw the hygienist Tiffany who set them up with a Disney cartoon to watch on the ceiling above them and made them feel at ease and comfortable. She did a wonderful job with them. I saw Allison who also did a fabulous job. Dr. Jared is very kind and interacted really well with both kids and adults. Our appointments were through, the office is really nice and clean, my kids and I left happy! I'm so grateful we can check 'finding our new dental office' off our list! read more

Thanks so much to Dr. Matt and Alexa for squeezing me in before year end! I didn't realize I had been away from the dentist for so long and was a bit nervous about how my teeth would be. I usually see another hygienist, but Alexa quickly made me feel very comfortable and in a short time I was headed out with nice, sparkling, healthy teeth! Dentistry with heart! Thanks Packard Dental!!! read more

The office hours are accommodating for those who need evening appt. The staff at Packard Dental are very caring and sincere. I knew in advance the explanation of benefits so there were no discrepancies with my dental insurance. The office is very clean and well organized. Dr. Matt and Karla took very good care of me during my visit. I get vertigo easily and they made sure my chair was adjusted comfortably and checked in throughout my exam to see if I was doing well. Dr Matt gave a thorough explanation of procedures that we're going to be performed on my teeth this day. No difficulties from injection site from when administering the novocaine. Soreness to be expected but overall a smooth experience. read more

Dr. Jared and his staff and Carla did an amazing job on the 4 veneers I had put in. I was hesitant to get this procedure done because I wasn't sure it would turn out well but Dr. Jared was patient with me and he's a perfectionist which is exactly what you need when getting veneers. Mine had to go back twice for adjustments and he was happy to get it done. Everything was very professional and went as smoothly as you could hope. On top of that it's a great office just to get cleanings done and all the staff are positive and helpful. read more

I absolutely hate the dentist but i give Packard dental 5 stars for being the best experience I've had a dentist office. Everyone at the office is welcoming, professional, and has a smile on their face. The office is clean and they are following proper covid-19 procedures. I am pregnant and everything is scary right now but I felt safe in their office. I've been in customer service for almost 20 years and this office can keep pace with the beat of them. Well done! read more

Every single person at this office is painfully nice (I mean this as a total compliment). How they got so many nice people to work in one location is impressive. Dr. Jared is wonderful. He hums to the music playing over the intercom while he's working away in your mouth. It's a fun quirk. Nancy and Nicole are equally great. It had been 2 years since I had been here (changes to insurance and such) but I'm thrilled to see it's just as friendly and happy now as it was 2 years ago. I'm looking forward to my next cleaning! Thank you, Dr. Jared and team! No cavities next time! read more

best dental office. i received an appointment from calling off a yelp post and was booked in surprisingly quick. i had a fractured tooth. the office is spacious and clean. the receptionist is friendly. there were private offices for employees and they are very clean. dr. matt was awesome and novacained me rubbing my gum leaving little pain. after examining my chipped tooth he saw missing fillings and made the necessary repairs.....i loved his care and happy smiley face. instead of expensive crown work he simply filled in the crack and now i am as good as new. the large bathroom was shiny clean. this is now my permanent dentist and love this place. looking in the mirror everything matches in colors. lots of off street parking in huge lot drive right up and this should be your new dentist read more

At office everybody very nice and professional great place to go. Kendra is super nice and efficient, she is always fantastic and fun to visit! Thank you for taking care of my teeth!!! read more

Dr Jared and his crew at amazing. My whole family uses this office! My 9 & 6 year feel so comfortable with the staff and actually look forward to coming in for their visits! We are having the best experience with my sons orthodontic work. We checked into a couple other offices, Dr J had the best most comfortable plan for my son. read more

Packard Dental has been my dentist for a couple years now, and I am super happy with them. The office is nice and clean and all of the staff are super nice and welcoming. Mindy usually takes care of me for cleanings, and she always makes me feel comfortable. The dentists also makes me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you! read more

I wish I could leave 10 stars! I couldn't be happier with my experience at Packard Dental. I came in about a year ago after I chipped my front tooth. Dr. Jared filled it in with composite, beautifully reconstructing the tooth with a perfect color match. After about a year, a very small corner of the composite came off, so I scheduled an appointment to get it fixed. They fit me in last minute - they're very accommodating with scheduling! - and touched up the tooth free of charge! I was in and out within 20 minutes and my tooth looks smoother and more uniform than ever. Aside from this experience, I have been a patient at Packard for most of my life, having grown up in Carlsbad, and I have always received positive, friendly care throughout. Their entire staff, from the front desk to the dental assistants, are so nice and personable, and I leave every check-up and cleaning feeling great about my teeth and overall dental health! Their new office on Carlsbad Village Drive is beautiful, and they have TVs in every room to get you through those long cleaning sessions :) read more

Dr. Mark is the best! He is kind and gentle. He thinks he has funny jokes too. I'll leave that up to you to decide. Everyone who works there that I've been in contact with are kind as well. I would highly recommend Packard Dental to anyone who needs or would like to change dentists. read more

I don't know many people that love their dentist... But my family loves Packard Dental. Packard Dental was the dental office I chose after moving to Carlsbad in 2008. My decision was based on the long standing reputation of the office as well Dr. Mark Packard's long history of community service in Carlsbad (e.g. City Council, Carlsbad Unified School District Board of Trustees, regional government, etc.). I believe in supporting those purple that support the community. However, once walking through the doors at Packard Dental, it was the wonderful service from the front office staff, my hygienist and Dr. Matt (Mark's son) that had kept me coming back. In fact, my family has grown since my first visit (marriage and first child) and my whole family are now patients at PD. Recently, Dr. Mark Packard's sons have assumed the leadership of the practice and that makes them the third generation to lead Packard Dental. We love this office because of the way they communicate clearly and the relationships that have formed (I've had the same hygienist for years)... I recommend to anyone looking for a good family dentist. read more

Been coming here for years. They are always on time with appointments. Newest equipment. Always friendly staff. Always a great experience. A+ read more

I couldn't be happier with my choice to go to Packard Dental and with Dr. Matt for all of his help. He is so nice and explained each step of the process to me in depth and made sure to answer every question I had! I wont go anywhere else now. Additionally, the entire staff is so nice and always efficient. Jordan, the treatment coordinator, couldn't have been sweeter and is always willing to take extra time to help me understand anything I'm unsure of. The office is beautiful and very modern also. I highly recommend them!! read more

Just got my hygiene cleaning done this morning with Jennifer! She was super gentle and Dr. Matt even came in to do a checkup to make sure everything was ok and healthy. Oliver and Nancy on staff were super friendly asl well! read more

These guys are up chargers... First they said both my wife and I needed cleanings every 4 months, and always up sold the treatments saying that they were covered by our dental insurance, but this is where the issue lies... Every time we would be told there was a remaining balance from the other's treatments (wife would be told I had a balance, I would be told my wife had a balance. We'd always leave there with a "zero" balance, but always told we had a remaining balance the next time... They would say these up sold treatments were covered, bill the insurance, who would say it wasn't covered, and then we would magically have a balance... Never again... read more

There is a reason why they have 5 stars. Oh my God they were amazinging professional, so sweet. I'm 27 years old and pregnant. They took caution and explained to me each step. Made sure I was comfortable with the plan of action for the day. Disclosed any costs before anything happened. Always willing to call insurance for you to ensure you have proper coverage. Honestly going above and beyond. I am so impressed. The staff was so sweet. I forgot to get my X-rays from the other dentist (I switched to Packard Dental) and they kept letting me know it was not a big deal, they will look at my teeth now and can review the X-rays later. Amazing service. You can't leave there upset. read more

I am a retired dental hygienist of 18 years. It was very difficult for me to choose a dental practice I could come alongside and be confident in for my personal dental care and for the care of my family and friends. After painstakingly going through different office options I chose Packard Dental almost 5 years ago. I have always been very particular about my own care and that of my family, Packard Dental doesn't disappoint. Their office is very clean (I always assess when I come in), their office staff is professional and friendly, the hygienist is thorough and the dentists are appropriate with their approach to care. They address issues they see that needs treatment and they ask if I have any areas of concern or areas I would like changed. They do not push unnecessary treatment. I have recommended them to many of my friends and colleagues. read more

The staff at Packard Dental are professionals and the entire experience is always enjoyable. They are very friendly and I always feel I've known them for years. I've recommended them to all my family and friends. read more

Best dental service I've ever had! On top of the service, everyone in there is so good looking! Haha! They definitely present themselves very well! Shout out to Kendra and Dr. Jared! They are definitely a master of their craft! Always such great care at all my visits! Considering I'm a nurse, their post Covid protocols are on point! I truly feel they don't just meet with me to clean my teeth, they put in effort to catch up and get to know me on a personal level! Relationship is key! This company has gained my trust and loyalty! read more

Fantastic, friendly service. They took care of my entire family: 4 young kids, my wife and myself. They have been especially patient for one my kids who was afraid to sit in the dental chair. They had several positive visits of her getting used to the office. Then When she was comfortable and ready she was able to have them do an exam and cleaning. It was amazing. Now she has a safe dental home. Thank you so much! Not only are they great cosmetic dentists, they are great family dentists! Again, fantastic job. I can't thank you enough! read more

BEST dentist experience ever! Love, love, love everyone in the office! So friendly, relaxed and good music playing :) Dr. Matt is awesome, we laughed a lot :)) Don't hesitate, call them!

I think I'm just a little in love with these guys! Haha! Oh and this is my first yelp review ever ;) read more

Packard Dental - My last cleaning at Packard Dental's new location! - Orthodontists Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I cannot recommend or praise Dr Matt at Packard dental more highly. I had my first visit yesterday and it was such a pleasant experience . I had concerns over my past experience with a dentist who told me I had a cavity under a bridge . I had already had to have that bridge recemmented 3 previous times and just didn't have the confidence in the dentist who put it in. After expats were taken and the bridge removed Dr Matt told me I had no cavity and the recemmented the my bridge and all is good . DR Matt is so friendly and kind and I felt so at ease and confident in his capability as a Dr. My husband and I have decided to stay with Packard dental from now on for our dental needs . The whole staff is so friendly and so obviously well trained and just genuinely kind and so nice to deal with. read more

Two years ago my dentist moved out of state and I've struggled to find a new one. After several disappointing attempts and a bad experience with poor dentistry I've found Dr. Matt Packard. I had a free consultation with him (no other dentist would meet with me until they'd seen x-rays and I'd seen one of their techs). He was right on time, listened to my history, looked at the botched result of my very minor cosmetic issue and told me exactly how he'd fix it. They told me the cost (very fair in my opinion) and fixed it right then! I walked out with my smile back and really happy I'd found them. The staff is all super friendly and efficient. I go back for my full, new patient appointment next month and look forward to it. read more

Today was my first appointment with Packard dental. It is very safe to say I will be keeping my next check up appointment in 6 months. Wonderful experience from check in to check out. No complaints on my end. My dental assistant (I cannot remember her name:(, Dr. Matt and Kendra were very informative, kind, and efficient. I was greeted with a smile and the visit also ended with a smile on check out. I am a medical professional myself, and it means a great deal to me to have such a caring staff who obviously work well as a team who are fully invested in dental care, and enjoy what they do. If I could leave more stars, I would. One of the other dentists who I didn't even have an appointment with said hello and spoke with me for a short time when I was checking out. Highly recommend if you're new to the area, or looking for a different dentist. read more

Dr. Matt is nothing short of amazing. I had a bridge that was poorly done and very ugly to look at for a long time. No doctors in the area could fix it, saying I'd need extraction of 4 teeth. And then I went to Dr. Matt. He was able to give me a brand new bridge that looked and felt 100% natural. He did not have to extract or ruin any of my real teeth and now, no one can tell the difference between my real teeth and my fake teeth. He was very professional and so caring, he made sure I was happy throughout the whole process. I thought my teeth were a lost cause but because of Dr. Matt and his expertise, I have beautiful teeth! You really can't put a price on that. I highly highly recommend this office and especially Dr. Matt. I am sure they can take care of anything you need here. I was extremely self conscious about my smile before and now I am so confident. Thank you Packard for saving my smile! read more
