Dr Cesar Jimenez and the rest of the staff are amazing. I am honestly glad I stumbled upon this office because it exceeded my expectations. Will recommend to friends and family. Thank you for making my experiences the best. read more

He is great. And a good temperament and his staff all are kind and respectful I definitely would recommend him to everyone I know. read more

If I could give no stars I would, but at least I would give props for the receptionist and x-ray Tech. Dr. Jimenez was very unprofessional, degrading and RUDE!!!!! A cap had fallen off, and he asked me to put it back on, which I tried, he acted as if I must have gone to dental school, "your teeth move so it doesn't fit anymore you know that right?" then told the Tech to take x-rays for another cap to be ordered but did it very sarcastically in front of me like it was my fault for not knowing my teeth move and walked away rudely. Then when he came back, he looked at me and said, "if your insurance doesn't cover this you know that you have to pay for it right?" again very sarcastic! I feel that being that I had Medi-Cal he judged me as if I could not pay him. When I went to the front receptionist, the Dr. let her know that a crown will have to be ordered and didn't even look at me, or thank me for coming in. Feels I was just a burden to him! I told the receptionist that I would never come back because of HIM. The girls were great and very nice, but I do not recommend that you ever go to this so-called Dentist!!!!! read more

I can't say enough great things about Sun Valley Dental Care! From the moment I walked in, I felt well taken care of. The front desk staff was warm, organized, and quick to get me checked in. The office itself is comfortable and inviting--exactly the kind of place you want to be when getting dental work done. The music/sound system is also soothing and fantastic for a dental office. I've come in for a a tooth-cap replacement, routine cleanings, and a few other lingering dental issues I'd been putting off. Each time, my dental work was handled with professionalism and genuine care. The dentist always explains everything clearly, answers questions well, and makes sure I understand all the options. The hygienist gave me one of the most thorough cleanings I've ever had without any discomfort. The tooth-cap replacement was done beautifully--it looks natural and fits perfectly. They also took the time to address my other dental concerns and offered practical advice to keep my teeth in great shape moving forward. Every time I have left this office feeling confident, cared for, and genuinely impressed. If you're looking for a dental team that combines skill, kindness, and top-tier service, Sun Valley Dental Care is the place to go! Highly recommended! read more

Had good service for the most part and even a bridge that was nice in the front a few years ago. But the downside was a crown got put in wrong and it pushed 2 other teeth out. So I would say double check that everything is put in properly if you can read more

I've been coming to this dental office for so many years and I have nothing but positive experiences when I go here. They take care of my family dental needs and myself. They truly take the time to ensure you are where you need to be. My experience at the office it's truly a pleasure going to the dentist might seem scary but all the staff make you at ease. Highly recommend this office to anyone who needs a dentist office with exceptional care ! read more

Buena atención y un excelente servicio profesional y se recomienda para toda la familias

10 STARS!!!!! I am deathly afraid of the drill, from childhood experiences. I had to have work done on a big tooth in the back. Dr was AMAZING, FABULOUS. Numbed me and I never felt one thing, nothing. He's a hero in my book. Will stay with him forever read more

Excellent dental office including Dr Jimenez, Blanca and all the other staff.Very flexible, kind and caring.I look forward to my appointment every time I go.The location is totally convenient for me as well.Do yourself a favor and choose this office.They take many insurances and are very knowledgeable. You won't be sorry. read more

I had a root canal done by Dr. Cesar Jimenez in July 2024, and it was a great experience. I am very anxious when it comes to dental procedures, but the staff and nurses were very responsive and kind, and they helped ease my nerves. Dr. Jimenez is on the quiet side, but I am ok with that as he was very respectful, complied with my requests, and did an excellent, high-quality job with the surgery. I did NOT feel pain during the procedure, just the expected normal discomfort of having a stretched, open mouth for a long period. I did my part staying still and the office music helped me relax too. Most importantly, after I went home, the discomfort was so minimal that I didn't have to take any strong pain killer (which he prescribed just in case) but just one pill of over the counter ibuprofen was more than enough for a couple days. I took preventive antibiotics Dr. Jimenez prescribed, and the whole process was very tolerable and pleasant. I highly recommend this clinic. read more

I found Dr. Jimenez via my Anthem dental Insurance. This office was very easy to book with. Their forms are all electronically completed by the patient when they arrive which is fast and convenient; no downloading, printing, filling out, etc. I went for a check-up, cleaning and x-rays. The staff was polite and patient. Dr. Jimenez was gentle with the cleaning and did it himself vs. a dental tech. He did not try to upsell me anything which I really appreciated. I was concerned about gum recession and he told me I had normal gums and nothing to worry about. I would come back to this office. read more

Words can't express how thankful I am to Sun Valley Dental Care! a special thanks to Dr. Jimenez. I had a dental emergency while vacationing in the San Diego area and the staff was so exceptional, they were able to schedule me with a short notice and treated me with absolute care. I received world class service and looking forward to visiting them again! I would definitely refer all my friends and family to Sun Valley Dental Care. read more

This is the best dentist ever!!! The most pleasant experience ever!!! Will never go to a different dentist. The staff is amazing!!!

My experience was less then pleasant, being blunt. The Dentist was unprofessional,rude and deeming. I've never felt so disrepected and humilated then how he made me feel. Degrading my teeth and not giving me more then 3 mins of his time. I was humilated, with such anger I feel, I will make sure none of my friends,family or coworkers set foot in this facility. read more

Great place to go! Caring and responsive staff. Highly recommended ! Both my daughter's have also had braces done here and cost/ service both excellent. read more

Best Dentistry around :) Top Care 5 STAR This has to be the #1 dentistry I've ever seen. I previously had another practice place my dental crown incorrectly so there was an open margin. If left untreated this could have lead to decay underneath the crown which cannot be cleaned and possibly extraction of the whole tooth. The other practice offered to fix this at double the price of Sun Valley Dental. I ignored it until it started to bleed some time after that. When I came to Sun Valley, not only does this place have unbeatable pricing especially for those without or limited insurance, but it's the best patient care you can get. The exact day I called, they gave me an appointment and same day got the faulty crown removed and cleaned up all the decay underneath. The whole procedure was very smooth and painless. My tooth is saved and Dr. Jimenez was the one who discovered the open margin in the first place. (Which later my previous dentist who did the crown agreed with) Dr. Jimenez is a very educated and professional dentist and so are all his staff. He also would never tell you to get a procedure done unless you truly need it, unlike other areas that just try to farm money off things that potentially aren't even there. They all truly care for your heath. Throughout my entire time I felt comfortable and they explained everything clearly to me before and after the procedure. Very respectful and hardworking people and I can't think of one flaw to be honest. I recommend this dentistry to anyone who wants the best care. I'm saying so as someone who works in healthcare at the biggest healthcare/medical provider in all of San Diego. Trust me you won't regret it and changing my dentistry to Sun Valley was the best decision I could have made for my dental hygiene and health. read more

I went into have Dr. Jimenez look at my teeth however, he is all about Jesus!my first clue was seeing bibles at the reception desk marked "free take one" there was a guy in the waiting area passing out paper with his "how god saved me" on it. once I was in the chair the doctor came over and referencing my medical past/current Tate he said, " have you tried Jesus for your illnesses?" I became very taken aback and stayed quiet he pressed saying, " do you know Jesus Jesus the man?" I mumbled that I didn't believe in organized religion he continued to press his beliefs on me I stayed quiet which caused him to give up. he told me I needed three teeth pulled, root canals, and referred me to an oral surgeon. i asked for a treatment plan but he refused. needles to say I'm getting another dentists to look at my teeth. dr. Jemenez crosses boundaries he should not bring religion into his medical practice. So beware steer clear of sun valley dental! read more

Best dental office ever. They have brought back my smile better then I ever imagined it could be. I wish I can give 1000 stars 10 is just not good enough. read more

Sun Valley Dental Care - Front left tooth had the biggest hole. Now i can smile with pride. - General Dentistry Near Me - El Cajon, California

Took me a long time to find a dentist this nice, that accepts Denta-Cal. Very efficient check-in online, using the computers in the lobby. Not crowded or too busy. Did take a while to be seen, but it gave me a chance to take a power nap while I waited I'm very germ-phobic, so I notice every detail of anything that looks dirty or contaminated-- and this place was absolutely sterile! Not even any dust on the pipes under the sink. EVERYTHING was covered in plastic, including the tool trays and lights... nice!... yet, I always wondered if they change out the plastic after every patient??? Dr. Jimenez, or Caesar, was kind and efficient. Told me everything looks good (sounded a little disappointed... i guess I'm a boring case ) and asked if I had any questions. The assistant was very friendly as was the front desk staff was as well. Very impressed. The only few things I would recommend is there be a more sterile mouth wash dispenser by the sink... I don't know who touched that bottle last or if anyone used the cup on top of it! -- but only someone w OCD would notice that! And maybe a magazine rack in the exam rooms, for entertainment while we wait. All in all, I do give this office 5 stars! I'll be coming back! read more

I am very thankful for these people! The people here are great and friendly. They also are very efficient and effective! They greet you with a smile and help you feel right at home. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

So I had to go to this dentist 3 times. This unethical and unprofessional dentist was working on ONE tooth for all those appointments that took up to 5 hours each. At first it was supposed to be a root canal while I had an infection. He mistakenly did not think it was an infection and proceeded to tell me it was not any thing to worry about, Then the next day I ended up having a really bad pain and ever since then I had not been able to sleep, eat right, and my face has been swollen. He also attempted to prescribe me medication that did not help at all. I went again, to find out what was wrong he then took X-rays and said I was fine for the second time which was wrong because I still had a lot of pain and he went over filled the root canal. Then the last time I went he attempted to redo my root canal and while I was in pain his assistant kept blaming me for the pain and kept on rudely saying it was because I was moving to much. I kept asking for them to stop and slow down and give me novocaine because I could still feel it they refused to do it. I felt tortured and would not like anyone else to feel that way. This whole situation was awful and I would never go back. This dentist was very unprofessional and kept being distracted by his assistant and was talking about nonsense that had nothing to do with my procedure. Do yourself a favor, skip this dentist and find a different one. Unless you want to tortured and ridiculed. read more

I saw Dr. Jimenez in August of 2012. Let me just start by saying Dr Jimenez's receptionist is great, love her. But he is an a-hole with a capital A. I have very bad anxiety when it comes to dentists and I always break down to tears when I'm in the chair. This doctor made that even worse. He seemed very annoyed that I was upset and hurried to get me out of his office without doing any work on me. He is rude, and I would not go back to him ever again, nor recommend him to any of my friends or family members. Hell, I wouldn't even recommend him to an enemy. read more

Dr. Jimenez does great work but in my experience was painful. He left a small incision/cut on my tongue..I think i must've got him in a bad mood? First time was good second time below expectations. He also needs to work on his people skills. read more

Posting comments about my information further shows how unprofessional this place is!!!! Everyone reading look how she just posted personally information! Beware they have no respect for confidentiality! I was grateful that I was able to be seen quickly! My problem was the Dentist! He was really rude to me, and the assistant has no idea how rude the Dentist was to me and how sad, and degraded I felt when I left the office nobody can take away the feeling that I felt after he mistreatment me! Verbal abuse is painful! The way he talked to me I would never recommend anyone go to this place!!!! read more

Amazing place. Highly recommends going to this dental office. The dentist was very knowledgeable and explaines things precisely. Blanca , the receptionist was so sweet and she went up and beyond to help me find the better option to have a nice smile. read more

I love this place... if i can give this place more than 5 stars i would. they are very good and nice staff and a very excellent dentist. they help me alot with my dental works for discounted price.. they love to help people. thank you guys!!! read more

Jimenez and his team: Poor "chair side" manner and incompetent personnel. Upon check-in @ 10:45am for my 11am appt. receptionist said she had no record of my appointment and asked if I was even at the right dentist. I had to explain our conversation that we had a few days ago when she called to confirm the appointment. (They had some other name as my first name). Finally, called back around 11:30. The dental assistant wanted to take an xray (even though I already brought in a copy of it from my referring dentist). Dental Asst said my dentist probably used "film" xrays, but there at Sun Valley they use digital...hmmm that's funny my copy was from a digital xray. The dental asst, went on to tell me that the root canal should take about 1 to 1.5 hrs depending on the patient, but they (the staff) planned to take lunch at 1pm, so well it really depends on the patient. I said, "so, he's going to try to rush through it then?". She told me I would be just fine, she then shows me the xray of my tooth on this computer screen in front of my chair. She says that since my tooth is a bottom molar it most likely has 2 canals and doesn't take long to do the root canal as opposed the the upper molars where there are 3 canals. Then, she goes on to show me what the dental dam looks like. I told her I used one of those before with my previous root canals some 15yrs ago. She told me that it really helps when the dr. shoots this cleaning agent down your tooth to cleanse the area and that it has a really bad taste, but the dental dam really helps. At this point, I'm told to raise my left hand if and when I'm in pain. Then, the dr comes in and asks how I heard about Sun Valley (I'm a referral, my dentist is a general dentist he doesn't perform root canals, the dr at Sun Valley is a general dentist too, he does root canals, but I guess he doesn't have nitrous oxide or at least he didn't offer me any) and he didn't look to happy that I was referred. He then starts the numb the area, when he pokes the needle into my gums and twists it from side to side. I could here grinding noises as he was digging the needle more into my gums and jaw. Of, course I kept raising my left hand for the pain and each time he had to stop, I could tell he was growing more impatient with me. Finally, done, he said coldly that we have to wait and he left the room. When, he comes back he then places this bite block on the left side of my mouth. I then hear the assistant ask him if he wants to use the dental dam, he says, "No". Then, he takes this syringe and shoots some chemical down my tooth. Most of it drips down the side of my gums, right down my throat. It tastes horrible and I start choking. The doctor then walks out again. I am still choking with the bite block in my mouth and can't even get a swallow in with my mouth open so wide. The assistant says nothing to me. Once, the dr returns he begin the root canal. At one point he is digging so deep in one of the canals I can't take the pain and automatically I flinch and try to raise my left arm, but it was hard to bring it up from under the bib and from the assistant crowding over my left side. Then, the dr rebukes me in a loud voice saying that I am too "jumpy" and that the instruments could easily cut my tongue, that I need to be still and if it hurts to raise my left hand. I then, hammered back at him and said that I couldn't help it, I did try to raise my left hand, but it got caught under the bib and the assistant is hovering over my left side. So, then I kind of put my left hand in an upward position, just to keep it there. He then, tells the assistant to refer me to endodontist and walks out. What a jerk! read more

Great place, I was extremely impressed with there customer service especially Tammy, she was very accommodating with all my questions I had and dr Jimenez made me feel very comfortable with the procedures I had done. Definently with be coming back and will recommend all friends and family! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Jimenez for yrs & I love him! After growing up on Western Dental (we all have horror stories), & then working without dental coverage for yrs I was scared to see anyone & terrified of the impending pain. But Dr Jimenez was gentle & kind, didn't even give me a guilt trip about not flossing (we all know we should but don't). He's NEVER hurt me & I'm even going through adult braces right now. I'll never go to anyone else! read more

I'm afraid of dentists, he made me feel so comfortable. Told me each step. Very clean place. I will recommend to anyone that I care about.

Walking in to an establishment with such kind people who treat you like family makes a trip to the dentist less scary. Dr. Jimenez and his team always make sure to take good care of my smile while also providing amazing customer service. I love this place ! read more

I love this Dentist. I am basically a procrastinating Dental patient. Consequently Dr. Jimenez has done a root canal a crown and pulled a wisdom tooth for me. All three times I paid cash and his rates are unbelievably affordable. Aside from that his office is professional his demeanor is very confidence-inspiring and he does one heck of a job. I like a staff I've never had to wait long to be seen and I recommend him all the time. This guy's a pro and it's a pleasure to go there. read more

Dr Jimenez and his staff are the best that I have ever had. From professionalism and chair side manner are of the best that I have ever experienced and have worked with some of the best Health Care Providers in the world as a Special Forces medic. There appointment structure is the best having appointment slots available for me all the way until 5PM!:) Dr. Jimenez has the best hands that I have ever experienced he has a way of numbing your mouth that I have never had before and will never go anywhere else because of this. You do not even know that he has stuck the needle in your mouth he is that good and caring. I AM SUPER ANXIOUS about dental procedures and would not even let dentists in the military touch my mouth even when ordered, I have also grabbed doctors hands while in my mouth because they have hurt me so bad!! Not Dr. Jimenez I had 2 teeth pulled the other day and it was almost painless. Any pain I did have he took care of and even when I did not take care of my site good enough, this doctor saw me ASAP when I felt I had a problem (you can not get that service anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Jimenez, Robin, and all other staff you guys are the best. Dr. Jimenez is the nicest most professional dentist that I have ever experienced and will tell any friend or acquaintance to get there dental care her. They are also the most affordable care I have ever gotten. I am the worst dental patient and Dr. Jimenez has made it worry free and relaxing for me to go to the dentists and finally get work after many many years. Not only have I let him pull 2 teeth I would not let anyone else do (even after 5 different attempts with other dentists) I have had several fillings and cleanings that have always gone fast, professional, and painless. Thank you so much to you and your staff. Jason McCleney Veteran United States Army read more

Dr. Jimenez and his staff were great! I was having occasional pain with chewing and requested a root canal. Dr. Jimenez did the root canal, and I was initially disappointed because I was still having pain. Dr. Jimenez generously offered to re-do the root canal at no charge if necessary. At my next visit we discussed it seemed that tooth was hitting first (before the rest). Dr. Jimenez adjusted my bite and I am completely pain-free now. I am so happy! Thank you! read more

Dr Jimenez is simply the finest cosmetic dentist I've ever experienced. He is SO HIGHLY SKILLED and took more time than he anticipated to accommodate my needs. I've been back several times for more bonding, and each time was wonderful. For the fearful, he has the most gentle touch. You'll not feel any pain. The staff is awesome. They are punctual, and even though the waiting room was busy each time, I was treated like I was the only patient there. I would give more stars if I could! I won't go to anywhere else after the experiences from the staff and Dr Jimenez. Sincerely, Jude K read more
