Layton Dental has now merged with Dr. LeFebvre and they are known as San Dieguito Dental Group. Dr. Layton is the best dentist I have ever been to, and as much as I don't like going to the dentist, this is as good as it gets. My knees don't shake when I think of going in to see Dr. Layton. Today was clean the teeth day, and Josie was my hygienist. She is extremely pleasant and her consersation is interesting and light and doesn't demand too much participation from the patient (because after all, her hands are in my mouth!). The cleaning was quick and painless. There is a new laser treatment I had never heard of so she did the 2 minute treatment for $35. As the lasers are very expensive, the price seems very reasonable, considering the capital expenditure. The laser treatment consists of running a very tiny low level laser just under the gum line. It kills bacteria and keeps it from growing as fast. It is painless and quick. Dr. Layton came in at the end, cheerful and smiling as usual, he is just the best. He did a quick once over of my mouth, said there was nothing needed at this time.... except that I hate flossing and have to get over it.. .. and bid me adieu. Lots of stars for you guys. You rock. read more

See all

Dr. LeFebvre is the best. My family has been coming here for years and we're always happy with the experience. It would be nice if all doctors were this good. read more

So happy I don't have to take care of the bridge. Dr. Michael LeFebvre, DDS is magical. I highly recommend his gentle touch. read more

San Dieguito Dental Group - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Encinitas, California

They told me that they called my insurance company to verify that a premium porcelain onlay was covered by my insurance. Therefore, I agreed to the work without negotiating the fee since they verified it was covered. Then, after the work was complete, they said, OOPS, the last dentist actually placed a cheaper onlay, but incorrectly billed Insurance for a porcelain onlay. Isn't that Insurance Fraud? Now, they want me to pay for the previous Dentist's incorrect billing and their Negligence. They even have the nerve to send me a letter and invoice misrepresenting the entire situation. As if I'm going to somehow forget what happened and pay $1500 for something that they said was covered. I'm writing this review because I want to make sure that other patients are not taken advantage by this dentist. Hopefully, this will keep them honest going forward. Well, they just lost a client... and I may report them to the Department of Consumer Affairs if they don't straighten this situation out. P.S. Something seems a little fishy about the review from Laura D. She has given HUNDREDS of reviews to various companies. They are quite "professionally" written. read more

I have been a patient here for about three years. Doctors Lefebvre and Cordonnier are both excellent. I have had two cracked teeth and they dealt with both very quickly. On one of them, I had to get a root canal and they set up an appointment with an excellent doctor down the street. The office is extremely friendly and nice. They do excellent work and they always follow up to see how I'm doing. I can't recommend them more. read more

I love this dentist. I came from open 7 days dental where they were rude and pushy. This Dentist has worked with me in regards to not wanting to get x rays constantly and all the staff have been extremely nice. The doctor really knows what he is doing. They let you watch a movie with special glasses while you get your procedure done. Very accommodating. Today I got a temporary crown done and it was totally painless and I watched a funny movie and then they gave me a coupon for a free smoothie at a local place because they like to support local businesses. I'd definitely recommend this dentist to everyone. read more

By far the best dental group I have ever met. The office itself is immaculate and inviting. Everyone from the front desk, to the hygienists, dental assistants, and especially Dr. LeFebvre have been polite, professional, and friendly. I underwent some intensive dental work over the course of the last year that required a LOT of time and multiple visits for mercury removal, crowns, laser gum treatments, you name it. I have always hated the dentist but they were so gentle, accommodating, and fun to be around. They even give their patients video glasses to wear with a variety of movies and/or music to listen to which helped to distract / pass the time during longer appointments. This was huge for me and really helped create a more relaxing experience. I drove a half hour for every visit and it was well worth it. Don't waste your time with any other dentist in town. They rock! Thanks San Dieguito Dental Group for making over my smile. :D read more

I have been a patient here for about 2 years and have had a great experience thus far. However what inspires me to write this review is that I took my 3 year old daughter for her first dental visit to Dr Sarah who was fantastic. I was a bit nervous how my daughter would react to the dentist office, the instruments, the sounds, etc. Dr Sarah was wonderful, showing so much patience with how she explained why we were there and how she will help her. After taking the time to do that, my daughter agreed to let Dr Sarah count her teeth as well as gently clean and floss her teeth. Initially, I had debated taking my daughter to one of those childrens dental offices with all of the toys and hoopla to distract her - but I'm so glad I didn't bother with that since Dr Sarah and the rest of the staff were so good with her. I definitely recommend this office. :) read more

This review is long overdue...this dental office is not trustworthy and the dentist does terrible dental work. I use to go to them and thankfully I switched! First off, the dentist did a filling in my tooth and then a few weeks later I could barely drink or eat because the tooth next to it was having very bad pain. I went in and they sent me home in pain. You do not do that as a dental professional and that is unacceptable. Basically, long story short he cracked the tooth next to it when doing the filling. Secondly, they charged interest on a family members ledger that they had absolutely no authority to do so. Making my family member pay more and more as time went on. DO NOT go here! Malpractice and patient neglect! read more

Will not return phone calls. I believe that this practice is ever very careless with numbers or is attempting to see how much money they can get from each customer instead of putting costs on paper. I hate doing the car dealer approach of going into a separate office to negotiate cost. Took some effort for my wife to see through their operation. Got to warn my doctor who uses them. read more

The staff here are extremely helpful, curtious and professional. Great place to go!

Dr. LeFebvre and his staff are AMAZING! My wife and I have been going to him for about 6 years and we have never been disappointed. My wife has great teeth, but I on the other hand have had issues since childhood. To say that I am a baby when it comes to dental work would seriously be an understatement. I have never felt more comfortable and felt so at ease at a dental office. Don't get me wrong, I always get nervous before going to the dentist, but once I'm there the staff makes me feel welcome and calm. They all care about making my dental experience as pleasant as possible. High quality dental work as well. 2-thumbs up!! read more

I have been a client of this office for about 4 yrs. The staff are very friendly and Dr. LeFebvre is an excellent Dentist. I feel very confident that he will do a great job and get me in and out of there as quickly as possible. I really am not a fan of having any dental work done! But coming to this office has eased some of my anxiety, because I believe The Dr. listens to my concerns and does not push the dental work on me, rather he lets me decide. And Caitlin, My hygienist is thorough and efficient. read more

I had broken a tooth and having read positive reviews of Dr. LeFebvre I had him repair it with an onlay. The only solution he recommended was Cerec. Probably because he makes more money with it. He knew that I was a grinder and a clencher. In fact he told me I was. The onlay broke about 7 months later. He told me it was his mistake and this happens about once a year. He fixed it free of charge with another Cerec onlay. It broke about 11 months later. Needless to say I did not go back to LeFebvre. From what I have read, if you are a grinder and/or clencher and you want the convenience of Cerec 1 day service, you should go with "Blue Block." It supposedly is 3 times stronger than Cerec. I probably made a mistake but I went with "Blue Block" with a new dentist. I do not recommend Cerec and I especially don't recommend LeFebvre. read more

wow! I now love my dentist. Super friendly and efficient staff. The dental assistant Jen was amazing she seem to make everything run perfect, fast and smooth. Dr LeFebvre is by far the best dentist ever. I am so glad to have found this group and will definitely refer others. read more
