I drove from Los Angeles to La Mesa to see Dr. Paul Michels and the team at Cardinal Dental, and…read moreit was 100% worth it. The process took about four months because they are incredibly thorough and make sure each tooth fits perfectly and heals properly. I came in with multiple broken/missing teeth thinking some couldn't be saved, but I was wrong. They have payment plans available if needed. All options are discussed beforehand. The entire team was kind, attentive, and always checked in about comfort, fit, and color. They truly want you to leave happy. I was given clear instructions on how to care for my new smile, and the results have been life-changing. I feel more confident, have a full set of beautiful teeth, and no longer worry about smiling. If you're considering an implant or crown, this is your sign. Highly recommend Cardinal Dental. I'm including some before & after photos.

It was my first time coming to this dental office, which is located in a newer medical building attached to Sharp Hospital. Everything from social distance markings on the elevator floors to the receptionist wearing a mask, made me feel comfortable but I was still nervous as hell. Most people: "I don't like going to the dentist but Me: I have anxiety and a true fear of the dentist and needles, etc, that causes me to be nervous wreck the moment I even think about going, let alone actually sitting in the dentist chair. My ROOT CANAL experience. Dr. Sugita was AMAZING. I usually wear headphones with volume up so I can't hear anything. Dr. Sugita's calm voice and the methodical way he requested the next tool he needed was soothing and actually calmed me down. I'm not exaggerating this, but I DID NOT FEEL A THING! Not even the initial shot of novocaine, not the ones after. I usually feel everything and while the pain isn't much, it's the thought of the needle that gets me. The Doctor and his assistant were efficient and I was done in no time at all. In short, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. SUGITA

I came in for a consult and full exam and was scheduled for fillings the very next week. Day of my filling i waited 5 mins upon arrival and was brought back greeted with smiles and kindness. The procedure was no more than 30 mins and was told I could listen to my book while they worked because my comfort was important! I have a few more visits to do and the already we're able to get approved by insurance for another visit in 2 weeks. Lena (spelling) was amazing! She literally gave me my confidence back in just 30 mins! I could not be anymore satisfied! Never thought I'd be this happy about a dental visit let alone look forward to the next! Thank you EC Family Dental!

I was sent here on a referral from my primary dentist. I had a loose implant that was wiggling. When I went for the initial visit, they assumed that I would need the implant totally removed based on the x-rays. This meant removing a titanium screw from my jaw bone. Preparing for hellacious pain. Luckily, when I went in for the surgery/removal, they just had to just tighten up the screw holding the implant after drilling out the top filling! It was a welcome surprise! Yay!!! No pain, and, got to keep the Vicodin prescription...! Most likely will go back to do some gum grafting for another future implant here so we'll see the results of that. We did a CT scan and surprisingly, found an issue with another tooth. Not good news of course. He has the most state-of-the-art equipment and technology here. So far, great professionalism and quality work!

Dr. Michaels is excellent -- gentle, skilled, and always takes time to explain options clearly without pressure. I've trusted his care for everything from routine visits to more involved procedures, and the quality of the work has always been outstanding. Mirna, the office manager, runs a truly organized and welcoming practice. Carmen, the X-ray tech, is kind and patient, and Kathy and Zaira at the front desk are consistently friendly and helpful with scheduling and insurance -- they make every visit easy and stress-free. What keeps me coming back year after year is the consistency and genuine care from the entire team. You're treated like a person, not a number. After many years as a patient, I can confidently recommend this office to anyone looking for a trustworthy, long-term dentist in La Mesa.

They tell you that a procedure is not covered when it is! They take a long time to bill your insurance. They will incorrectly bill your insurance.

The dentist was talking to me and said that he was going to shut up because the dental assistant, who was standing behind me, was giving him the signal to do so. This is extremely rude. When he walked away, I had one more question she would not allow me to speak to him. She wanted to answer the question, she's not the dentist.

I was referred here by Visionary Dental Arts and I swung by the day of to have a quick convo and they were able to get me a consultation within the next 48 hours which was clutch because my insurance plan was changing and I needed a quick turnaround time. The receptionist were quick, funny, and informative. They have an automated system to send you text reminders of your appointment plus a welcome video after you leave the office. For my consultation, I was running late because my dog became ill and they were gracious and worked with finding another time for me to come in. I arrived later that day and waited no more than 5 minutes in a crowded waiting room to go in and get my head scanned. I was put into the patient room with scans of my head and I met with 3 people. The assistant, then the doctor, then the payment specialist. Each one was welcoming and didn't talk to me entirely in jargon and technical terms. They made it a point to use the medical terms and then combine it with more common terms. It was in a way that didnt make me feel inferior or not smart. I then went and made an appointment for two weeks from there. A few days later, I called and asked if I can move it up and they were more than happy to do so as they had a last minute opening for extraction. On they day of my appointment, I came in, they went over a few paperwork, took payment, and then whisked me into the room. They asked what type of music I wanted to be played and told them some music from my home country and they were bopping along with me and asking questions about my country and sharing stories about their own. I was 3 minutes into the song before next thing I knew, I was being walked out to the car. Don't remember much but they mentioned how fun I was and that they enjoyed spending time with me. Apparently I was hilarious and grooving even in my sleep. Many thanks for their patience and care they provided me.

I'm giving this review an extra boost because Fletcher Hills sent to my general dentist a copy of the panoramic X-ray, without me asking them to do so. That is quality service. I'm glad that my problem turned out to not be serious, but I will consider Fletcher Hills in the event I need a dental implant or some other serious procedure. They put me at ease.
