I had such a great experience at Shoreline Dental! Everyone was so friendly and made me feel welcomed and comfortable from the moment I walked in. I usually hate going to the dentist, but the staff was so gentle, patient, and understanding that they completely changed my experience.

I highly recommend Shoreline Dental to anyone looking for a caring and professional dental team! read more

Very happy for my new found dental office and love that it's 5 minutes from my house! I'll start by saying I have a ton of dental trauma...it's not that I'm just afraid of the dentist or I don't like to go, this runs deep. It's ptsd level and no amount of logic seems to really help. My first visit to the office was a new patient exam and I was greeted with so much warmth from all the staff. The tech who did my X-rays continuously asked how I was doing and made sure I was ok. I love the amenity options from lavender essential oils, eye massagers and more! They even asked if I'd prefer having things explained or not. It felt like they're very aware of people's fears and do everything possible to mitigate them. Dr. Ritzau is amazing! She is friendly and very knowledgeable too. It's obvious why this office wins so many awards in the dental field. I came back for my first cleaning the other day and my fear was at an all time high (you would have thought I was getting major surgery). I was greeted right away by the hygienist, Madeline and she was fantastic from beginning to end. I felt like we were two girlfriends just hanging out. She was not only wonderful at cleaning my teeth with 0 pain, she was also great at distracting me. She asked me questions about myself and felt very personable. It was thankfully one of the better experiences I've ever had. The office is spacious, clean and relaxing. They have refreshments in the waiting area and are always running a contest too. They even have an awesome referral program. So happy I've found my new dental studio with such a fantastic team! read more

I'm disappointed to share that my experience at Shoreline Dental felt more sales-driven than patient-centered, and I hope this helps others make an informed decision. I was a first-time patient and want to start by recognizing my hygienist, Anna. She was wonderful and clearly cares about her patients. Where things went wrong was after my cleaning. Once X-rays were reviewed, I was told I had a cavity. Rather than being given conservative options or a discussion of risks and alternatives, the dentist immediately recommended a crown, an invasive and very expensive procedure. I felt uncomfortable with how quickly that recommendation was made. I chose to get a second opinion from a close friend who is a dentist out of state. After reviewing the images, they felt a crown was not necessary at this time and that a filling was appropriate. I asked Shoreline to proceed conservatively with the filling, which they did. However, even during that appointment, I was again encouraged to plan for a crown in the near future. I was also sold a night guard for $900, with the assurance that it would "last my whole life." After going home and doing my own research, I found that night guards typically last around two years. I called to cancel the order, as I would not have agreed to it had I been given accurate information. The final concern, was a follow-up email I received stating that Shoreline Dental felt they were "not the right fit" for me due to an "uncomfortable conversation with the doctor." From my perspective, the discomfort came from me asking questions, setting financial boundaries, and advocating for conservative care. I had clearly expressed that I did not want to be sold anything unless it was absolutely necessary, yet the upselling continued. I believe patients should feel safe asking questions without fear of being dismissed as a client. Being informed and cautious should not disqualify someone from care. While I won't be returning regardless, I felt it was important to share my experience. I would encourage others to be cautious with any practice that feels more focused on high overhead, tours, and sales than on collaborative, conservative dental care. read more

Beautiful office. Excellent staff. Always has the latest technology for the optimum care of her patients.

Shoreline Dental far exceeds in customer service, quality of care, and state of the art office equipment to ensure good oral hygiene care!

This place is amazing. Everyone who works there, I mean EVERYONE, is so nice and professional and well-trained. How they operate and communicate is a finely tuned machine. I will never go anywhere else for my dental care. You definitely feel appreciated and well cared for. Cannot recommend enough. read more

Lack of price transparency and relentless upselling. I first want to start off by saying that the staff is very friendly and extremely nice. The new location is very nice as well. Other than that I do not recommend this office. I am never one to take the time to write a Yelp Review but felt compelled after this last visit. I was a patient for many years up until my last visit about 5 years ago. My entire family and MANY family friends left this office due to a lack of transparency when it comes to pricing, and relentless upselling in every appointment. This is consistent with the rest of the lowly rated comments if you care to look. The only reason I went back is because my crown which was put on there needed to be replaced and was still under warranty. It was a significant price reduction under the warranty, so financially, I needed to get it replaced at Shoreline. At the beginning of the first visit, when they removed the old crown and fit me with a temporary, I confirmed my warranty and that I would not be paying the full price (which was already confirmed on the phone the week prior). They went back to check and confirmed a few minutes later. This should have been in the note for my visit to begin with, and I'm confident that the warranty would not have been honored had I not made sure of it. I signed the acknowledgment and paid the full amount at the end of this visit. I just had my appointment for my permanent crown. Again, the work itself was well done and professional. While checking out, all of a sudden, I was being charged an additional $500. When I pushed back, there was stammering and backpedaling. At the end they chalked it up to the $500 amount being "auto-populated" along with a few other half reasons that frankly made no sense at all. They started listing prices in a way to show me the mental math, as a reason for the mistake. The numbers didnt even add up either. Once again, if I had not stood up for myself I would have been out an additional $500 for absolutely nothing. I hope this helps. It's a shame because the staff is very nice but this experience is consistent with why many of us in town left years ago in the first place. read more

This is unlike any dental office I have ever been in! Customer service was amazing from the second I walked in, to the second I walked out. I truly felt taken care of here & that they heard my concerns and answered my questions thoroughly. I don't get nervous at the dentist, but if you do, this place would be perfect for you, as they offer things like headphones, an eye massager, a blanket, something to drink, etc. I look forward to my next dentist appt just to talk to the amazing ladies working here! read more

I had such a wonderful visit at Shoreline today! The new San Clemente location is absolutely gorgeous. It's bright, peaceful, and beautifully designed. The entire experience is always top-notch from start to finish. The team at Shoreline truly cares about their patients and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and cared for. It's the kind of place you actually look forward to visiting, which says a lot about a dental office! I have referred most of my family to Shoreline now! My mom has had extensive dental work done and raves about her results, my husband just became a new patient this week, and even my dad and sister go here and love it. The reviews don't lie. Shoreline really is the best of the best. You'll be in great hands! read more

Awesome experience. Good competent staff. Beautiful new location to accommodate their client base. I'd rate them a very highly compared to my prior dentist in San Clemente Thank You read more

Dr. Livingston and her team are the best dental group I've ever had! I've been with this group for some time now. They listen, give amazing service, and are the best at what they do. I broke a couple teeth recently and I was able to get in on short notice for the exam. Less than 24 hours later they rebuilt my teeth and I had my smile again! I was extremely impressed and so thankful. The procedure was quick. Thank you!!! read more

always the best experience. very professional. everyone is very kind and helpful. best dentist office ever

The whole family has been lucky to find Dr Ritzau 13 years ago and her professionalism is unparalleled. Dr. Livingston then joined and that added another gem! the extended team so many years later is nothing but wonderful and of course a special thanks to Adrienne for her impeccable hygienist's skills and kindness. The office team is equally professional and goes out of it's way to help. best practice in town and they work with the best specialists in the area such as Dr. Bergman, Battita, Simon! my only regret is that they dont cover all the other medical needs and specialties besides oral health and appearance. thank you all for keeping us healthy! read more

I came to Shoreline Dental for a teeth cleaning that was advertised as a special (around $150). The office is beautiful and very high-end, and the staff was friendly. During my visit, I was told that I had developing gum disease and that I needed multiple procedures, including four crowns, totaling over $3,000. This was shocking to me. I'm 30 years old, take very good care of my health, and have never had a cavity in my life. What's especially concerning is that getting a crown permanently alters and damages a healthy tooth. It is not something that should be recommended unless it is truly necessary. I went to my longtime dentist for a second opinion, and she confirmed that my teeth and gums look great and that I do not need any of the treatments that were recommended here. This experience was extremely disappointing. I've never written a negative review or reported a business before, but this felt misleading and unethical. Recommending invasive, expensive procedures that are not needed is not just frustrating, it's wrong. While the office looks luxurious and offers a high-end experience, I strongly encourage anyone considering major treatment here to get a second opinion first. read more

Excellent service from my hygienist Anna. Caring and attentive from start to finish and ensured comfort throughout. Thank you for the advice and informed communication. Appreciated! read more

I am OBSESSED with this dental office. Can anyone really say that?? Well - I can. I adore this staff (especially Adrienne) and I always feel really well taken care of. read more

Had a great experience with Dr. Ritzau for my Invisalign treatment. She clearly walked me through what to expect, timeline, etc., the whole process was very seamless and easy to follow. The results were even better than I hoped for and so much faster than I anticipated! The office itself is gorgeous, and the entire staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. It truly does not feel like your typical dentist appointment. Dr. Ritzau and her team made every visit enjoyable, and I couldn't be happier with my smile. Highly recommend her! read more

It's a funny thing to say that I love going to the dentist, but I truly do. When you walk into Shoreline Dental, it's like no other dentist office you've walked into before. The vibe is calm and cool, the decor is thoughtful and lovely. And the service is seamless from entering their office to exiting. They have the BEST patient care I have ever received--anywhere. They never cease to exceed my expectations with the communication, the care, and the education. Shoutout to Adrienne who I always look forward to seeing. And to Dr. Ritzau for her thoughtfulness and excellent care. SO thankful for Shoreline Dental Studio! read more

I am old and have had so much dental work done over the decades but i have never encountered a more talented dentist than Danielle! She had to replace an old cap on a molar. Ive had this done many times by other dentists in the past but she was so skilled she removed the old with no pain or discomfort. The temp she created feels like a permanent! Im sure when i get the new one next week it will be as good if not better than my other caps. So glad they expanding into a second office in San Clemente read more
