I love this office! Staff is lovely and Dr. Warner is a really caring dentist. He has a great chair side manner, and really takes his time with kids of they are having hard time with a procedure. I grew up in a dental family, and am SUPER particular about everything in a dental office. This one passes all the criteria with flying colors. So happy to have discovered this great office and dentist, I know my kiddos are in great hands. read more

My 6yo daughter loves it here, and so do we. In addition to taking great care of our daughters teeth, the staff is very friendly and always makes our daughter feel comfortable and at ease. She told me to tell you all that she particularly loves the toothbrushes and bouncy balls. read more

We've been seeing Dr. Warner close to 2 yrs now with all three of my kids, ages 4, 2 and 12 days. He's wonderful with all of them and they actually look forward to the dentist! Most recently my pediatrician found that my newborn was lip and tongue tied. He'd lost almost a lb from his birthweight and couldn't nurse at all. I called Dr. Warner and he got us in the next morning for the revision. Cost was less than my pediatrician had told me other dentists charge and it was done quickly and professionally. He answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable with the procedure. One week later my little guy is doing amazing! Eating comfortably and gaining weight very well! So thankful for Dr. Warner and his warm and friendly staff. read more

Dr. Warner, and his staff, are incredible. They're gentle, kind, and make our little boys visits easy! We couldn't be more grateful for these positive experiences here. 10/10 highly recommend for all your pediatric dental needs read more

I've always felt pressured with sales of unnecessary treatments. Dr Warner and staff are all friendly but I can't help but feel the judgment when I decline every in excess xray or treatment. My husband and I both feel they are a bit rough with the kiddos during cleaning and exams by Dr. Warner. At one point the dental assistant basically called me a liar when I told them they had never suggested a special flouride toothpaste for my son. The front desk woman had indeed confirmed what I was saying all along. No apology. I've never been 100% comfortable and their stock just keeps dropping. Review edited: after I sent a personal email to Dr Warner with my concerns he called me and we had a long discussion regarding his methods and reasoning why he recommends his treatment plans. I felt his concern for my worries and my children's health. He apologized for not giving me all of the information I needed before making those healthcare decisions. I have not given a full 5 stars because there is still an issue of staff aggressiveness and my husband felt rushed and with rude service during his last experience there. read more

Best dentist. Best staff. So happy I found him. Down to earth and not stuffy whatsoever. Lol. He really is great with kids. read more

Great pediatric dental office from front desk, dental hygienists, and Dr. Warner himself! My daughter had a fall that impacted her mouth and baby teeth that were coming in when she was nearly 1. We hadn't established a dentist yet and after calling around, Warner Pediatric Dental was so incredible to even call the dentist on his day off to review her injury, set up an appointment, and talk me through a pretty traumatic experience. Everyone is so kind and gentle and GREAT with children of all ages!! read more

Best children's dentist! I've been bringing my daughter here since she was 2, (age 8 now) and Dr Warner is so gentle and calm with everyone. Also the front office staff is sooo nice and welcoming! read more

Fantastic staff and service. I was dreading taking my three kids, ages 5 and under, to the dentist. To my surprise, it was an easy, effortless appointment. All of the kids left smiling with their goody bags and prizes from the machine. The office is clean, bright and colorful. All of the kids were seen at the same time in the same room, which made it really easy for me as a mom. I can't say enough good things. The staff is fantastic, Dr. Warner is extremely personable. I'm so happy we found this gem in Encinitas! read more

I would give more than 5 stars if I could! The entire staff from Dr. Warner to support Staff and hygienists are TOTAL pros. I was a bit nervous taking my 2.5 year old twins for their first check up but it was fun and exciting for them. The staff are so friendly and clearly love children and what they do. The waiting room is entertaining and interactive, we didn't have to wait and they made it interesting and fun (seriously! Fun!!) for my kids! Total pros! read more

See all

Dr. Warner is a miracle worker. My kid has high anxiety around things she doesn't know. Dr. Warner can make her feel safe and like she accomplished the goal (opening wide and brushing is all we can do but we're progressing). He takes his time to make sure she doesn't leave upset and that it ends on a positive note. I wish I had a dentist like him when I was a kid. If I could give 100 stars it wouldn't be enough. Thank you Dr. Warner read more

I have 3 boys that have been seeing Dr. Warner for years, and each of them enjoy going to the dentist. I trust Dr. Warner and his staff especially when it comes to my boy's teeth.  They are patient especially with my youngest who is 3 years old, and he trusts them enough to let them x-ray his teeth.  Holly, who sits at the front desk, is very helpful (on the phone and in person) and is always ready to greet you with a smile. Before leaving, she makes sure we have our next visit appointment, and that each of the boys have enough quarters to get their prize (bouncy balls).   Thank you Dr. Warner, Holly, and staff for taking good care of my boys!! read more

It was important for me that my son see a pediatric dentist early on so that he didn't have the same dental fears and "bad experiences" I had growing up. There wasn't a pediatric dentist near us, so we drove over an hour to go to see Dr. Warner and it was well worth it! Dr. Warner and his entire staff are friendly, patient and amazing! I brought my 16 month old in for a free examination. They answered all of my questions and gave recommendations. He even got a little goodie bag! Unfortunately for us, Dr. Warner is not within our insurance network...so we plan to switch so my son can continue to be seen at Dr. Warner's office! Highly recommend Warner Pediatric! read more

We took our 3.5 year old son to see Dr. Warner to have his teeth cleaned and repair a chipped front tooth (due to my allowing our son to walk on the wet bathroom floor...eeek!). The location is right off of Encinitas Boulevard just east of El Camino Real. Dr. Warner did a great job of keeping our son calm (with the aid of some N2O), and now his gap is gone. The facility is very new and modern with TV's on the ceiling streaming Cars 2 and the open floor plan makes for a comfortable experience. The staff were obviously hired for their ability to care for kids, and they were engaging and appropriately empathetic for my wife and son. We will be back for regular cleanings, and hopefully nothing else! read more

Just have to say how much we love Dr. Warner and his office staff. My 8 year old has been going to WPD for a few years now. He had a very traumatic experience at a children's dentistry in Carlsbad prior to WPD and was extremely fearful. We were referred to Dr. Warner through another dentist. My son no longer fears going to the dentist. Which is a huge relief for me.. My son used to literally scream in fear at our old dentist.. Wish we would've discovered Dr. Warner's office when my older boys were younger. I have been through way too many incompetent dentists who overcharge and don't have this magic touch that Dr. Warner has with kids. Wish I could give more than 5 stars... read more

I took all three of my girls ages 14, 11 and 7 in for their 6month check up and cleaning. Right when you walk in the door the smiling and helpful staff is there to greet you. I almost got the feeling they were standing there waiting for me to walk in. The facility is new and clean. My kids loved the movie showing and the electronic games. They also had a few toys and books. I loved the stack of magazines and free wi-fi! I had to call to reschedule an appointment (a couple of times) and the staff was very accommodating. I liked that I didn't have to wait weeks to get a new appointment. The kids really liked the staff and Dr. Warner. They felt at ease and enjoyed watching the movie during their cleaning. I also felt like we got some good advice on what my girls need to be doing to better care for their teeth. We will be back for regular cleanings and unfortunately to fill some cavities! read more

Dr. Warner and his staff are so friendly and professional. The office is inviting with fun stuff for the kids (books, iPad games, Legos on display, movies playing overhead) and small toys as rewards for after their visit. Dr. Warner and the staff are very patient with my nervous girls and tell them everything happening to help make them comfortable. I highly recommend this dentist practice to other families. read more

This place is amazing for kids! We always leave smiling. Such a pleasant atmosphere and staff. They really care about their clients.

Our Boys LOVE Dr Warner... From the moment you walk in our experience is always awesome! Smiley staff, friendly and great with our kiddos. The waiting area has some video gaming for the kids and a separate area for the Parents to rest...Dr Warner is SUPER awesome and so great with kids. Patient and sweet. When the kids lay down they are immediately distracted by the movie playing on the TV screen located on the ceilings of all the rooms...great idea! Just an overall great place to take the kids for what could be traumatic for some kids (not mine). Very clean and very professional....highly recommended! read more

Just started taking my son here and they were prompt, thorough, and so good with kids. Dr Warner was much more knowledgeable and professional than the last pediatric dentist we were going to. Above each dental chair is a TV on the ceiling, playing a kids movie. They also have a kids area up front with toys, games, and iPads, which is a huge plus. My son was a little anxious about his cleaning, but the dental assistant handled it extremely well. Your child will earn coins as a result of their appointment, which they can use for little toy machines in the lobby. So glad we switched to this office! I'm confident that my son will be receiving great care here. read more

From the kid friendly font on the sign out front to the entire staff, this practice is great for kids! Friendly receptionist, friendly hygienist, friendly doctor. My 3 year old daughter asked to go to the dentist but was definitely apprehensive once she got into the chair. The hygienist didn't get angry, didn't get aggravated. The hygienist just kept being friendly until my daughter settled in. Toys in the waiting room. Video games for older kids. TV screens on the ceiling above the dental chairs. Friendly, friendly, friendly. After the check up, the hygienist gives you 2 quarters to get a prize from the vending machine - in addition to the toothbrush (my daughter got a Piglet toothbrush), stickers and fun colored floss sticks. Even the paperwork is easy. It's done on a computer in the lobby. My daughter was talking about the dentist office all day. Good times! read more

Ok seriously, this place is the best. Dr. Warner literally greeted us at the door. The whole process is super streamlined and efficient. They immediately showed My three year old to the PlayStation & play area and had me fill in the forms on the computer, which took all of 1 minute. They brought us back about 2 minutes after I had finished the forms. The hygienist was super kind and spoke directly to Callum and let him know what was going to happen. Everything was quick but thorough. When Callum was done they gave him two quarters and he got to get a ball from one of those grocery store toy vending machines. My favorite part was when they encouraged him to throw the ball down their hallway like 5 times. Really, truly, could not be more pleased. read more

So today was my sons first visit to the dentist. He is 5 years old and has a little touch of autism or better know as on the spectrum! After reading some great reviews I decided to give them a call. Turns out they were offering a first visit special and since I'm a cash paying client it was the deal of the century! Immediately upon entering we were greeted with a smile. Ian felt right at home plenty of fun things to watch or play with. He was a champ from trying to do the bite wing ex rays to the teeth cleaning and exam. Guess it helped that he has immaculate teeth! Definitely very happy with my sons new dentist. We will be back in 6 months. Thank you read more

IT GETS EVEN BETTER. You wouldn't think it was possible, but it is my friend. It. Truly. Is. Other than a terrible parking lot this place is amazing. Close to everything you need (Trader Joe's, Swami's Cafe, Target, you get the idea). The interior is ridiculously cute, but not in a half-ass-yeah-we-serve-kids way. It's very simple, very classic Dick & Jane cute and very clean. There is a video game area for boys AND one for girls with a window THAT IS SECTIONED NEXT TO BUT SEPARATE FROM THE PARENTS !! Grownups get comfortable furniture (like with cushions and tables) natural light and QUIET - It's just what a tired Mom, Pop or Grammy need while Jr. is getting a cleaning. Staff : Holly is AH-mazing! I knew she would be. I told you! She greets you and your child immediately and is so sincere you feel like you have been friends all along. This was Baby Alice's first visit to a dentist and Dr. Warner came out to the waiting area and sat down with us to chat. We discussed expectations and he fielded all of my questions. Dr. Warner could show off just how smart he is but he doesn't. He talks to you like a normal guy who just happens to be explaining what you need to do in order to protect your child's oral health. Next, Dr. Warner brought Alice and I into a room off the reception area that is surrounded with glass. He had Alice lay in my lap with her head facing him and he did a quick exam, then he brushed her two teeth while singing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' very softly and that was it. She got to keep her tooth brush and we were done. Best. Dentist. Ever. I wish I were a wee-bebe and could start over at Warner Pediatric. read more

Warner Pediatric Dental - Encinitas - Alice couldnt wait for us to get home before she started her teeth-brushing routine. Such a good lil' patient. - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Encinitas, California

Dr. Warner and his staff made both my boys feel very comfortable. He took time to explain everything to my son (who is extremely inquisitive) everything that was going on and the what each tool was used for. read more

Upon doing some research on Yelp, we decided to take our daughter to Warner Pediatric Dental. As usual, yelpers reviews were spot on. The staff here were very welcoming and attentive to our baby girl. This was our first appoint so we didn't know what to expect. Fortunately our baby felt very comfortable, and I'm sure the fact that the office was very nice and kid friendly, had a lot to do with that. It was a pretty quick appointment since our baby had no issues so just a cleaning. Dr. Warner was very good with baby and we have definitely found the dentist for our child. read more

It was wonderful taking my children to see Dr. Warner. He was amazing with my children. He has a beautiful office in a great location. My 8 year old daughter was so scared knowing that she had to see the dentist because she had a cavity, but when she met with Dr. Warner and got her work done, she was super comfortable and relaxed. He did a great job! I'm so grateful he was able to get her in with such short notice and was so helpful. If you are looking for a Pediactric Dentist for your children, then I would highly recommend Dr. Warner. You will not be disappointed. read more

The staff is great. The office is very nice and clean. I felt great about this place until I took my child here and Dr. Warner highly recommended a procedure for my child that was deemed by other dentists completely unnecessary. I went to another pediatric dentist and told them about his recommendation and they were shocked a dentist would recommend this procedure for a small child. I felt in my gut that there was something wrong and I'm glad I followed it and not this dentist's recommendation. I won't be returning and would not recommend this place for others. read more

I can't say enough nice things about this dentistry practice. Our first visit, they squeezed us in when my 2yo son damaged his front tooth at daycare. They were friendly and efficient and I couldn't believe how good they were with my hurt, scared, shy toddler. The follow up visit was just as good. Holly helped us out both times and was so patient with him. We returned today for his first preventative care visit and once again, I was blown away. Ms. Courtney was so patient with my son. She worked slowly, sang songs, and helped him feel comfortable with the whole process. While I was there, Dr. Warner even checked my new baby, diagnosing a tongue and lip tie that were previously overlooked by her pediatrician. We were promptly offered an appointment this week to have these defects repaired as soon as possible. Dr. Warner is such a sweetheart and every kid I've ever seen in his office opens up to him. He obviously loves children and the feeling is mutual. I've never seen any of his patients seem scared or uncomfortable. And he's a Harry Potter fan, which is always a plus in my book! The office is bright and clean, with toys available in the waiting area for all ages (stuffed animals, books, cars, tablets with games). There are TV screens mounted on the ceilings for the kids to watch while their teeth are being worked on. Each child gets a prize from the machine when their treatment is done (bouncy balls each time for my little guy). read more

Update: added a star as it looks like the owner is trying to improve their service. Always good to see business owners taking feedback seriously and actually doing something about it. Old Review: called a few times friday afternoon. kept getting the machine. made appointment with another place instead. read more

Just took my 2 and a half year old for his first dentist checkup. Everybody there was so friendly! From the moment I called to make the appointment, I realized I made a good choice because the woman I talked to was very nice. My son loved it and I know he will be happy to go back in 6 months. Courtney and Dr. Warner even spoke a little Spanish which made my son feel more comfortable. read more

We just went to Dr Warner today for our first visit and it was amazing! We have a 5 year old son with sensory issues and the whole staff was so accommodating and made us feel very comfortable. Our 3 year old daughter also had an amazing experience. Dr Warner listened and was very patient. We are so excited our friends recommended this awesome practice! read more

Fantastic dentist and staff! We always have a positive experience! Dr Warner makes my girls comfortable and does a fantastic job explaining to them what is happening in their mouths. Hygienists are kind and friendly. Office is cute, convenient and clean. Highly recommend! read more

It's so hard to find a good dental office, especially for kids, but we did!! Front desk, super friendly! Office, very kid and parent friendly, have a full viewing window so you can see entire exam. Computer games for the kids, and of course televisions. Dr. Warner - my kids love him, and I trust him! Dental Hygienists: Very friendly and informative. They accepted my Cigna insurance, which I really appreciate since so many dentists no longer accept insurance. And, if your kids are in school just let them know and for each new patient they give the school $10. A great way to raise some extra cash for your school. read more

I am not sure where to begin exactly as I have so many great things to say. I am visiting the area for 7 weeks and my 2 year old daughter bummed her tooth and chipped it pretty badly. My friend takes their children here and they came highly recommended. I called and they helped me navigate all the insurance hassle, got me in for first thing the next morning though on mnay occasions said we can have her come in this evening and have the doctor come back. They even allowed me to text them pics and call their personal number if I got worried. I am here alone with her and my infant son and Im not going to lie, things are really hard to manage on my own here and when we got their my son was hungry, she was extremely tired from being up all night and I was on the verge of tears but held it in. The whole team came to my rescue literally. They fed my son, talked with him during the office visit so I could focus on my daughter and the everyone was great with her as well. He rebuilt her tooth up so fast and we were on are way. I really wish more companies like this exhisted. This was by far a wonderful experience! I actually told my husband that everytime I come back to visit I will likely just get her cleanings done here vrs our dentist in Seattle. Thank you to everyone! read more

So impressed. Great lengths taken for distancing and cleanliness. My three year old left and said "I had fun at the dentist." Very comforting during this crazy time. read more

I really like this place. I bring my 3 year and 1 year old here and everyone here is so great with them. They make it easier for the kids to get their teeth clean. The kids also get fun little toys to take home which is so sweet. Highly recommend this practice. read more

We LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this practice: the people, the quality of care, the genuine interest in my kiddo! Cannot say enough good things. Dr. Warner is a dad of 5 and gets it and flat out rocks read more

I love the family vibe this dental office gives off! My daughter loves it! Dr. Warner and his staff are very sweet!

Thank you Dr Warner and Holly for taking care of my little boy today! I am so grateful to you both. Dr. Warner is gentle, compassionate, thoughtful, kind, and a great dentist. Trustworthy. Holly is sweet, loving, funny, and makes a worried momma feel safe and happy. You made my day. You are both the best! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! read more
