I had a pretty poor experience with this practice. It's a long story, but there was an issue with a…read morenumbing process for a filling in November that left me swollen for 3 weeks. Dr. Patel then prescribed me antibiotics for it over the phone (without being seen!) thinking it was an infected tooth, when it was actually a very poor numbing job...I even took them completely unnecessarily! She had also done fillings on several teeth that ended up falling out soon after and had to be refilled (see pic). I am in A lot of pain from the REDONE fillings by Dr. Lyles and went to look at my teeth and there is a bruised, swollen and bloody area along my gums... To sum my issues with this practice: -I had injury to my mouth from 5 failed numbing injections which was wrongly prescribed antibiotics for which I took unnecessarily! -I had a crown that was not done 100% properly and still have a lot of pain in, that they eventually ended up replacing with a lot of headache and fight - but not without a lot of poor attitude about it (even during the procedure) and a very stressful experience on me. -I have an injury to my gums (see pic) from a re-done filling - it is bruised, extremely painful and bloody. -I had a night guard that was wrongly sized and never fit me that they would not replace I do believe Dr. Lyles attempted to make it right, which I appreciate, but it was the really poor attitude, constant back and forth about getting things fixed, and then this painful filling that led me to write this review.

My wife and I have been going to this practice for the last 3 years, and recently we decided to…read morestop going there due to the following: * They mainly prefer doing crowns, and the doctor doesn't do fillings--it seems it's not worth his time unless there is crown involvement. * The new front desk staff never respond to messages. * Over the last year, I started noticing they send additional bills without explanation, even after paying the copay at checkout. * Their hygiene staff keeps changing, and we have to go over everything again with each new hygienist. Unfortunately, i decided to leave a review here due to not getting a response on their follow up survey ,we have to find a different practice, even though we have invested a lot of time and money there.

I have been going there for more than 15 years. Excellent dentist, great hygienist, polite staff.read more

First time trying a new dentist and couldn't be more thrilled with the care at RGB! Each person…read moreworking there was so skilled, friendly, and caring. Everyone we interacted with from reception, dental assistants, and Dr B himself was very thorough and kind to my husband and I are new patients. They took our X-rays as baseline for new patients and Dr B came to introduce himself before anything began and explained his approach (minimal but very thorough) to dentistry. They're quite busy and looking slots decently far in advance so highly suggest calling and planning ahead!

I also took a look at their website which was very easy to navigate and find the information I needed. The entire process went very smoothly and overall, we had a great experience.

We went here mainly for cleaning and the process was very organized - taking x-ray, check up exam with Doctor, and actual cleaning. Dr. Collado and Ryoko were very helpful in answering our questions and also gave us advice/tips when brushing our teeth to avoid dental issues. Thank you for the great service!

Once again I had another fantastic Dentist appointment today with Dr. Joe. He is a very honest and…read morepassionate Dentist and does fantastic work. Today I went in for a broken crown that was covering an implant I had done 10 years ago. Unfortunately the crown broke and he was able to offer me a great consultation and referral to the best Implant Dentist in the county to have the post removed so he can make a new crown with his great in house technology. By doing this it saves extra cost and time having an outside service do the crown that can often take many weeks. I would recommend Dr Joe Nguyen to anyone looking for professional honest Dentist!!

All the dental hygienists I've had were great. Dr. Joe is able to make many kinds of night guards through his office, and he was really excited to show me one that is so durable that a car can drive over it haha. Hoping he does not retire for awhile :D The only thing that is confusing is that there is another dentist with almost the exact same name in Poway. Make sure to read the address very carefully when plugging into GPS!

i've been going to see dr. kamran and dr. vasefi since about 2018 when i moved back to san diego…read more dr vasefi always takes well care of my teeth and takes time to explain what might be happening with my oral health. she's also just a great person, super friendly and lovely. whenever i see dr. kamran, he's got great energy, works very quickly, and razor sharp instincts. they're the only dental office i've loved seeing for years, and to me that says a lot about their team and work culture. my previous experiences with other dentists has oddly often included surprise cavities and i would get headaches after the cleaning because of how rough they are. with this office, after getting regular (once a year) deep cleaning and checkups, i haven't had any issues with cavities since coming here.. my gum health goes up and down, but whenever i get deep cleaning here, it improves. i've had a couple of old cavities replaced by them, a fair amount of cleanings, and never have felt like i was being "upsold" just to make more money for the office (i'm a marketer by trade and i'm sensitive to this stuff as a buyer). they found problems with my health, explained what it was, prescribed the right solution (even though it's not covered by my insurance), and gave me a choice to not take it. that's the most "upsell" i've experienced. it's not bad practice...plus they take the time to really explain what's happening. they're transparent with your xrays, your gum health, and the conditions of your fillings. this is one office that i've seen keep up with the new tech coming out, and even have a customer portal for your dental checkins and summaries. i get calls and texts about my upcoming appointments, and the receptionists are always so nice to me even if i'm a bit annoyed about something completely unrelated! i don't have any issues with insurance since most of my work is paid out of pocket, plus knowing what i know about my gums, it's not covered by my plan. so of course it is expensive at times, but to me i happily pay it for the quality of work from dr kamran and dr. vasefi. this is just my personal experience here and i'm not paid (or given any special treatment) for doing this. give this office a shot before you judge it based on a few people's bad experiences... people only leave bad reviews when they're upset, but those who love it often don't even think about it so the only "complaint" i have is office has to do a better job asking their loyal patients to leave more reviews ;) big love to this office!

I remember walking out of this office when I first moved to San Diego and knowing I was trying to…read moreget upsold. I hadn't been to a dentist in years because I was a travel nurse and told the dentist that and they told me I had advancing periodontal disease, tried to tell me I could end up with heart issues if I didn't clean properly and all sorts of other nonsense. I paid several hundred out of pocket for "cleanings" and "exams" and thought it was really weird so I never went back. Well, here I am 5 years later and just found out from a different dental office that I had been charged $300 for "orthodontic" treatment in my insurance coverage, which I have never heard of. I called my insurance company and found out it was from this office in 2020!!! This place is really fishy and now I'm concerned about insurance fraud. I shouldn't have paid the hundreds of dollars out of pocket and to find out a chunk has been taken from my insurance benefits is ridiculous!!! I'm not talking about regular benefits but they charged it to orthodontic treatment which is limited to a lifetime coverage and has a cap

Huge shout-out to Julie, the dental hygienist. She does an amazing job every time. One of the best cleanings I've ever had -- thorough but gentle, and she actually takes the time to explain things and make sure you're comfortable. My teeth feel incredibly clean after every visit. Dr. Chan is also great -- professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He never rushes and makes sure all your questions are answered. The front desk team is efficient and kind, and scheduling is always smooth. Highly recommend Classic Dental Smiles if you're looking for a dental office that's professional, friendly, and actually pleasant to visit.
