Top-tier experience. Professional, thorough, and the studio is immaculate. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality care!

Do not see this person if you are a veteran and using community care. I felt like I was examined from the doorway. Was turned away with the reason I needed a deep cleaning. read more

I had a concerning experience at San Marcos Dental Studio with Dr. Babak Shahrokh. I felt the treatment approach was very aggressive and more focused on extensive procedures than on conservative care. My young daughter was diagnosed with 15 cavities, which a second opinion later did not confirm. I'm very glad I sought another evaluation, as it helped avoid unnecessary treatment. I strongly recommend getting a second opinion before proceeding with major work. read more

Always friendly amazing service, never hidden fees and the front staff always explains in detail my EOB and insurance rates, whats covered or not covered. read more

Awful!! They ask for co-pays when my insurance clearly says No co-pays. They lie about coverage to get out of pocket pay. They bully me to get my teeth cleaned there. When they charge 1,000.00 for cleaning. New dentist only 150.00. read more

I've been a patient for years and for a reason. The doctor and his staff are professional, kind, and thorough. They are excellent with communication and follow up as well. I've had my regular check ups and cleanings as well as a recent new crown to replace an old inlay. They have also been able to fit me in to check on random tooth or gum sensitivity. I highly recommend San Marcos Dental Studio. read more

The San Marcos Dental Studio is deceptive in its payment schedules. There is no full disclosure of payments. You are deferred to a loan company called Cherry. They determine your payment schedule. The dental company does not disclose that each separate treatment has its own payment schedule. The loan company contracts for the separate payments which could mean several a month adding up to hundreds of dollars for the month that need to be paid and will be automatically placed on your debit or credit card. Be careful. The receptionists will not disclose this info to you. Very deceptive practice. They do it with smiles. They in the office will not help you. The Cherry loan company will not help you. They play a game of ping pong sending you back and forth between each other. Heed this warning read more

The best place to go for all of your dental needs ! I'm excited to be back and they always make My visit so easy and comfortable. If you are looking for a great dentist then this is the place to come to ! read more

San Marcos Dental Studio - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - San Marcos, California

See all

Beware of this clinic. It's been a few months and I and other patients have not been reimbursed yet for the fees we paid. They're out of network so they require you to pay immediately after the service. However, they don't send the claims to your insurance provider on time. And when they send it, the claims reports lack several information. And good luck reaching out to them. Nobody answers the calls. They always go to VM and they don't call you back. Worst experience. read more

This is not a boost for no reason. I left in tears bc of the AMAZING work they did. I did a push on my teeth on concrete stairs bc there was gaps in the a stairwell. I had been pushed this way and that for treatments that were 40k.... everytime being referred somewhere else. I not only got proper treatment. He actually listened to my suggestions and approaches. Long story short. Worth the cost which they made 10k less. Worth the treatment....I literally had tears in my eyes with they fixed my broken front tooth. They have all my love. I'm so happy I found them, and if you're able...GO! read more

I accidentally dislodged a filling while flossing. A friend recommended this dentist so I called to see if they could help me out and they did. The procedure was quick, and the new filling is fits perfect. Dr. Shahrokh was totally cool fixing me up on short notice, and he has a great sense of humor. I saw some one star review on here that said he said something bad about women... he really doesn't seem like the type. Shahrokh has a deadpan, sarcastic style of humor, and so do I, so I know what its like being misunderstood when I'm trying to connect. (I read the one star reviews before going, and they both seemed kinda bogus) Long review! But I really am grateful - it was relieving to get my filling fixed competently on short notice, just before the holidays and the subsequent feasting. read more

I Went to San Marcos Dental Studio for emergency tooth pain. The front end staff was kind, thoughtful, and efficient. I was seen to in a timely manner. I was impressed by the state of art faculty. DR Shahrokh. Was a real pleasure. As a person with extreme medical anxiety dr Shahrokh was a real calming presence he informed me of my options clearly took my concerns seriously and carried out my procedures with great expertise. I will 100% be going back and will definitely recommend to my friends and a family read more

I would definitely recommend this dentist office. I went for a long overdue deep cleaning and the hygienist was thorough and gentle. The dentist was very quick and I didn't have to wait long at at all to see him. I'm not a fan getting dental work done but this was easily my most pleasant experience with a dentist I have had. Thank you to everyone at the office. I feel much more confident with my smile now. read more

I'm going to write a short novel as I feel like in order to understand, you need the whole background. I am a 43 year old woman who deals with extreme anxiety. And not here and there. I gave myself an actual heart attack from stressing out about life so much during pandemic. San Marcos Dental Studio has dealt with my issues and made me very comfortable. Dr Shahrokh is extremely gentle and readily and easily available. In my case, because of my heart and the meds, my teeth just started falling out. I stopped smiling entirely. I visited several dentists in the area. All who just wanted to pull everything and talk me into 60k worth of implants. Of course, insurance sucks so I was in a real situation. I couldn't eat, my mouth hurt so bad, I kept getting abscesses and I felt like crap. Again, I'm only 43....I wanted to feel good and look good. I found San Marcos Dental Studio online looking at dentists in my area. I made an appointment with Tammy, the office administrator. She listened to my problem and got me in fast. The dental equipment is very new and up to date. After reviewing my mouth, Dr. Shahrokh suggested partials as opposed to implants. He was the 1st doctor to tell me that implants in my specific situation would only last 10 years. My jaw would push them out, just like my natural teeth. I had to see an oral surgeon. But Tammy got everything covered by my insurance through medical doctors, specifically saying things were medically necessary. So, I was completely out during the pulling of 13 teeth! Also, I should add that before the oral surgeon started, he had a question on one of my teeth, Dr. Shahrokh answered directly. Even the nurses at the surgeon were impressed. On the way to the surgery, we picked up my partials at San Marcos Dental Studio, and they were placed directly after surgery, so I wasn't toothless. It's now been 3 weeks since surgery. I have a fabulous smile again. I'm confident for the 1st time in years. I did break a fake tooth on my partial yesterday. I called the office and they saw me 1st thing this morning! It had to go to the lab for fixing but I'll have it back in the morning. It's very hard to find a good dentist these days. It's not like it was in the 90s when dentists were completely covered. It feels like dentistry has become an elective. And that's bad. Our teeth frame our face! And are extremely important to our health! This office is the one for you if you are anything like me, and deathly afraid. It's ridiculously clean, up to date, and so so comforting. They have a patient for life with me. I hope my long-winded review helps just 1 person who is putting off dental care because of anxiety. If just 1 person can get help as I did, then the hour it took me to write this was all worth it! Thank you San Marcos Dental Studio! Thank you Tammy! And THANK YOU to Dr. Shahrokh! read more

Unfortunately less than a star isn't a choice on yelp but don't get me wrong I will shine a very bright light on this scam of a practice. Trying to save your tooth? Want to make sure you are treated fairly with honest prices? Want a simple estimate range of what a typical filler may cost? How about just being able to trust a "healthcare provider" to not take advantage of you in a time of need? If you answered yes to a single one of these very obvious questions.... Stay away. A simple price estimate for a maintenance cleaning was about as hard as pulling teeth, guess the roles were reversed on that one. Best practice is to get a second opinion... best practice here is to simply go somewhere else. read more

I've had appointments with Dr. Shahrokh 3 times now. I've had a few fillings, a crown, & a night guard done by him. He's patient, gentle, & has done a great job with all my work so far. In the past, I was always anxious going to the dentist. He & his office staff have eased a lot of my anxiety. He's the first dentist I've had that hasn't said anything judgemental or pressured me into getting more work done than seems necessary. The whole office is very kind, efficient, & professional. read more

San Marcos Dental Studio - I love reading the punny jokes here - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - San Marcos, California

My husband and I were looking for a new practice. Stubble through San Marco Dental Studio. Everyone made me feel comfortable. There was alot of laughs. It didn't feel like I was in a office. Highly recommend read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Yoshida for many years. When I learned that she was retiring, I had a bit of anxiety regarding finding a new dentist. Dr. Shahrokh relieved my anxiety on the very first visit. He is kind, explains procedures meticulously and has been excellent doing my crown and cleanings. Recently, I had the pleasure (something you rarely feel for a dental experience) to have Ramsey perform a deep cleaning. He was funny and put me at ease throughout both appointments. The front office staff is very courteous and customer service is their priority. The state of the art equipment also makes the geek in me feel excited to learn about new ways to get things done with less pain and time lost from work. I highly recommend San Marcos Dental Studios for all your dental needs. This is an unsolicited review and was not done under influence of Novacaine or pina colada flavored numbing agent. read more

I have been going here for years and man has it changed. The people are still very nice but they tried to add on additional procedures that I didn't need like crazy!!! They tried to tell me I needed to replace a tooth and it would take 3 sessions... first two sessions would cost me over 4 grand out of pocket with great insurance. They couldn't even give me a quote to actually replace the tooth so that could have cost me over 10 grand! I got a second opinion at my mom's dentist and he said I just needed a crown. No nerve damage. It will cost me only 1100. read more

I'm back here again! The dental hygienist Laleh always takes care of me. During my visit, Laleh was very thoughtful and gentle and made it a pleasant time. I will continue coming here as the entire team there makes it known that they truly care for their patients. read more

I would like to give Dr Shahdrokh and is Hygentist Amy, and staff a BIG SHOUT OUT! Modern, clean and well run office. Covid-19 compliant and friendly! Amy, was amazing. My teeth hadn't been cleaned in a year and she's such a pro with her expertise and attention to detail all the while making sure I was comfortable! Don't hesitate, Great prices and even an in-office plan to make it affordable read more

This place was a complete scam..they lie about services and pricing and what I "NEED" to get done. AND to top it off, I the Dr. Babak speak about females in a very denigrating way. I wish I could rate negative stars. Such a miserable experience read more

This office is very clean, with state of the art equipment. The staff is so friendly and accommodating! They go the extra mile and are very helpful with explaining everything from the treatment they are performing to the costs for future treatments. I appreciated all the information the hygienist explained to me. Thank you all and see you soon! read more

I was in an emergency situation when one of my front veneers shattered. They squeezed me in, made a new crown that was a perfect match and used state-of-the-art equipment making the whole ordeal fast and painless. read more

Just got my routine dental cleaning and exam. I'm not sure how many hygienists are on staff, but Laleh did an amazing job! I recommend asking for her the next time you're due for a cleaning. Overall, office staff were kind and professional. read more

I had a great experience in San Marcos Dental Studio specifically with Dr.Babak Shahrokh. He is very responsible and caring person . I had a big concern about my implants because of my previous dentist who couldn't took care of my crowns . But after I met Dr.Shahrokh , he could solved my problem and able to relieved my concern. Eventually, he did a great job and I am very satisfied with my implants now. Thank you Dr.Babak Shahrokh read more

I am pleased to add another 5 star for Dr. Babak Shahrokh and his entire staff. The office was very pleasing, clean and modern. The Front Office (Angelica and Priscilla) were so good I re-named their position as Director of First Impressions because they set the tone for the rest of the visit. Ramsey the Hygienist and Manny the Chair Side Assistant were amazing as well. They always made me feel like I was the most important of their clients. My bubble however got burst when I realized that they treated everyone the same. Dr. Shahrokh himself was skillful, friendly and made me feel very comfortable. The two crowns that I needed were done the same day. Ramsey the Hygienist even called me the next day to make sure I was doing ok. Wow. read more

DONT GO TO THIS CLINIC! DO NOT RECOMMEND! I would have rated this clinic negative 5 stars if it was an option! The dentist Dr. Shahrokh and the employees there were NOT honest with me when I visited! I had a very small filling job that needed to be redone, but the dentist had told me that the ONLY WAY to fix my tooth was to do a crown which would cost about $800 WITH insurance! The dentist and staff wouldn't give me any other options when I had told them that I am a student and couldn't afford it. They straight up told me there wasn't any other way and told me to do financing! The reason why I am writing this review is because I went to a couple different dentists afterward for consultation on my tooth, and they all said my tooth just needed a small new filler, and it was a very small issue that could be fixed easily! Getting a crown for my tooth is completely UNNECESSARY in my case as Dr. Shahrokh insisted! I know businesses are having a hard time dealing with this pandemic, but everyone is experiencing hard time during this time! It doesn't justify the dishonest and malpractices for businesses like this clinic in particular! There are a lot of good dental clinics here in the county, you can take a pass on this one for sure! read more

Dr Shahrokh and his staff are amazing!! They are so friendly and professional! And they got me in last minute for a dental emergency at closing time! I'm so grateful to them! I highly recommend their office! read more

Wow! This is by far the best dental office I have visited! Right when you walk in you are warmly welcomed by such amazing ladies! They know their stuff and made sure to answer every question I had! During my appointment Dr. Shahrokh was so friendly and made me feel comfortable. Usually I am not a fan of going to the dentist but Dr. Shahrokh and his team handled my appointment so well! They thoroughly informed me everything that was going on with my mouth and what needed to be done. They made sure to work with my budget and did press for my money or to make me upgrade to treatments that I didn't need! I absolutely love this office and I'm so glad I found them! read more

My first experience with San Marco's Dental Studio and was so impressed! Tammy and Rhianna at the front desk were so personable, knowledgeable and friendly! The dental assistants, Manny and Jackie went out of their way to make me comfortable! Dr. Babak was outstanding! He was professional and fast! I have had so many bad experiences with local Dental offices, Western Dental and Las Posas Dental for example. Dr. Babak doesn't make you feel like a second class citizen for using Dental Care or being low income. I won't go anywhere else from now on! read more

Great experience with this dental office, everyone was professional and the doctor did a great job with my treatment ! Definitely recommend

I've had a few procedures done at the dental studio this year after avoiding the dentist for many years. I really had a hard time finding a dentist that would take my HMO insurance. I couldn't find one in Encinitas. That's what brought me out to San Marcos. Dr. Shahrokh is very kind and gentle. He checks in to make sure I'm doing okay and his staff is very friendly and professional. I like their office so much that we will continue to drive out to San Marcos even though our insurance will be a PPO next year. If you have a fear of the dentist like I did I suggest this office! read more

Great experience with Dr.Shahrokh and his team. I had a bad cavity that he took care of and it was still hurting after a bit. He didn't hesitate to help me right away and fix it. He and his team took great care of my teeth and gums. Dental cleaning was painless. I was so worried about going to a new dentist after years of being with the same one and then having to switch, but I am happy to have landed here. Everyone here is very honest and upfront about costs, care, and procedures. They are a diligent and caring team of people! I highly recommend coming here if you care about your teeth and your wallet! :) read more

Dr. Shahrokh and Manny are such a stellar team, putting my comfort and understanding of procedures first, and the best results ever. From fillings to same day crowns, they have their shit together! The ladies at the front desk are so on top of things! read more

This review is for there poor business procedure and not on their quality of care. They are on my provided list so I made appointment and provided all my insurance info. Upon arrival was told my appointment was cancelled as they are no longer taking new patients with HMO s. They said they call ed but I double checked and never got this call. They waisted my time. read more

By far one of the best dental experiences ever! From a clean and modern office, the greeting staff to the dental assistants, and of course the amazing Dr. Shahrokh. I was so nervous to have my first crown, Dr. Shahrokh and his assistant were beyond gentle and patient with me. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars, Highly recommend this Dental Office! read more

I had a very good experience with their service,staff are very friendly and accommodating.The quality of service is exceptional.I had my teeth done and they are very thorough and they educate you before starting and explained what they will do.They made sure you are comfortable at all times.

I recommend this dental office to everyone!!! I have had him fix my mouth which had so many issues and he is so nice and patient. I love the staff and this office so much! read more

I can't begin to tell you how amazing this place is! I had a dental emergency and I am one of those nightmare patients that doesn't have insurance, haven't been to a dentist in years and my mouth is pretty bad. I had a tooth that had gotten so bad I couldn't sleep or eat or anything without severe pain. I had been to 3 other dentists before here and they all took me in saying they would work with me, then took some x-rays and charged me 100$. Then they all wanted to send me to other places where they just wanted to take more x-rays and then charge me for the consultations and they never did any actual work on my tooth. I was on my 5th day of horrible excruciating pain, and I finally was recommended to San Marcos Dental Studio by a friend (BEST FRIEND!). I called and they wanted to see me that day! I went in and immediately got taken to a chair and got a full mouth x-ray, which none of the other dentists did. Then we discussed what the best plan was and hashed out an amazing price and then got the work done right then. I literally went in at 9:30, and then left completely fixed up at 12:30. How amazing is that!! I dare another dentist's office to try and compete with this one. San Marcos Dental Studio is now my personal dentist and I will only be seeing them for my dental needs. I strongly recommend anyone and everyone to give them a shot. read more
