OH MY GOD!!! #SOHAPPY #DESERVES10STARS!! Got my new veneer today, and its PERFECTION! This office is SUPREME!! David was on vacation, so his dad, Dr. Douglas, put on a my veneer and WOW!! Practice surely makes perfect!!! *IF YOURE AFRAID OF THE DENTIST, DON'T BE SCARED OF DOCTOR DOUGLAS FOSSETT!! I have NEVER, EVER experienced such a gentle, pain free dental work. It's AMAZING how I DIDNT FEEL THE ANESTHETIC NEEDLE at all! I kept thinking, "when am I gonna feel this needle!?" Bc that's the part I really hate!! Dr. Douglas was so precise and gentle only my ONE TOOTH IS NUMB! Literally, I can still feel most of my lip and the two neighboring teeth!!! NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE! Because of some scheduling conflicts, and the first veneer not matching color perfectly, it took a while for me to finally get this, BUT IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!!! The color is BEYOND PERFECT -- EXACTLY in between the other front tooth (which is too dark, but I dealt with it -- see my last post for more details) and the lighter canine tooth!! Exactly!!! I am MORE than happy about my experience here at Fossett Dental, and I wish I can give them 10 stars!!! The only thing I'm dissapointing thing is that they don't accept Denta-Cal. But honestly, VERY VERY VERY HAPPY!!! THANK YOU GUYS SOOOOOO MUCH!!!

Before photo on top, after below- I love my new smile!

Dental offices make me nervous but from my first call to first visit, I was put completely at ease. Dr. Fossett explained all my options, didn't try to up sell me, and was gentle and kind. I'm over the moon with the work he did and for the first time I feel confident when I smile! I've now scheduled my whole family for visits and know I will be a lifelong client at this office. All of the staff are amazingly kind and super responsive. And Dr. Fossett took a lot of time walking me though everything and gave me lots of opportunity for questions and input. He also uncovered a dental issue I'd brought up to 2 previous dentists- they told me there was no reason for my pain but he found remnants of a tool there! I trust this office and they stand by their work.

They take advantage of military customers. The Navy sent my husband here for work before he…read moreretired. The billing department continually sent us the bill that was supposed to go to the Navy. When we got a collections letter, we called and they said don't worry about it and that they would send it to the Navy. We continued to get the bills until the second collections letter arrived and we just paid it to be done with it. This has been going on for over 6 months. For those who aren't familiar with military medical, they refer you out to civilian practices when they don't have capacity to get you in. All required medical care is covered by the military for Active Duty personnel. Since my husband was retiring, that's what the Navy did. It was a requirement for his discharge from Active Duty and in no way his responsibility to pay. It's really frustrating that this small business could not get their communication figured out, and now we have to try and get reimbursed $1,000 from the military.

Office Staff Super Nice! I needed an extraction and…read more Cleaning and 7 top Crowns The quality of care is excellent! I'm very happy to say I'd Highly recommend Santee Town Center Dental Group if you're looking for a Top Notch Dentist! Very Professional!

I had an appointment scheduled and waited over 45 minutes, and it felt very clear that someone was…read moretaken ahead of me. By the time they brought me back, it was close to closing, and everything felt extremely rushed. The X-rays were done very quickly, and the process was actually painful -- something I've never experienced before. The cleaning was also done very fast. After the appointment, I was told I had two cavities, which shocked me- i have never had cavities and I take really good care of my teeth. I decided to get a second opinion from two other dentists, and both confirmed that I have zero cavities. Because of this experience, I felt uncomfortable with the level of care and professionalism. It honestly felt more focused on treatment costs than on my dental health. I will not be returning. 2 stars because it was clean and the chair I was sitting in for almost an hour was comfortable.

Beware - Second opinion needed on anything they recommend!! I was told by Dr Ferguson and their…read moreperiodontist that I needed a front tooth removed due to bone loss and possible root issue. Wait, what? I had a deep pocket at the gum of the tooth, my tooth was strong, not broken and not loose. They made me believe this was my only option and proceeded to explain that an implant would be the way to go since a bridge wouldn't work due to the root issue. The implant procedure would be 8-9 months and I would have a flipper during that time. It was going to cost me $9k for one tooth!!! Can you imagine the anxiety and stress this caused? I decided to get a second opinion. I researched best periodontist in San Diego and after his thorough examination and panoramic X-rays he was shocked and dumbfounded as to why Santee Smiles periodontist wanted to pull the tooth, he saw no bone loss or root issue. All I needed was a minor gum surgery called Guided Tissue Regeneration that costs $1500 (claim to insurance) and get this, once he was done with the procedure he confirmed no bone loss or root issue!!! Be very careful to believe their treatment plan and get a second opinion. I am changing dentists, don't even want my teeth cleaned here, it always costs me something extra... just a money grab.

It has been awhile since I have been to the dentist. So after getting my insurance in order, and…read morebooking an appointment I was more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. There was a lot of people in the waiting room and I can see why because when they take you back there are so many little exam rooms all equipped with dentistry type of dentist stuff. First appointment, x-rays and a quick scrap and polish of the teeth. Then the news... I needed a full mouth deep cleaning under gums, and two root canals. My Amazon wish list items would have to wait, and next week I would return to take care of the damage. The good - I got everything done in one day because a patient cancelled. The bad- They had to double numb my mouth. I couldn't tell if I was drooling or just imaging it. The ugly- If you have insurance, all the procedures are going to be expensive. I would prepare yourself, and if you have to finance it, look at the finance charges, and pick the 3 month if possible. In the end, the staff was great, the work was thorough, and my teeth are probably happier than I am. Sure, I left with half my face numb and my bank account needing a root canal of its own, but that's more a reality of dentistry than a reflection on the office. If you need dental work done and can handle a little sticker shock, these folks will take good care of you.

They were good at the beginning, doctor was nice. There's a fortune in old crockery on display. But…read moreovertime they pushed only absurdly expensive procedures. They showed little interest in working with my insurance company. They asked for cash and offered loans with ridiculous finance charges. After you join their club, which is extra. So they fail in every way for consumer protection. It's unfair to seniors or anyone on a budget. They could have just refused me outright and it would have saved me time dealing with the sales person.
