What Our Patients Say About Us

5.0

I was heading down to Encinitas for vacation from LA and was having some severe molar pain. They took me in the next day as an emergency walk-in. They took care of my issue, I was better in a couple days. I found the entire team including hygienist Taniya, xray person, front desk and the dentist, Dr. Lao to be very helpful and pleasant. I would certainly go back if/when I’m in town.

5.0

Super fast, gentle but thorough great explanation while they’re cleaning my teeth and checking my gum line. The hygienist told me everything he was doing and why. Best dentist experience I’ve ever had.

5.0

I just went to Encinitas Smiles Dentistry for the first time since moving here, and seriously, they're awesome! The doctor was good, but Annie, the young lady who booked my appointment, greeted me, and set up my follow-up, was the absolute sweetest. She made everything so easy, even contacting my insurance to help me get the care I needed. I'm definitely sticking with them from now on. Thanks, Annie and the rest of the crew, see you guys soon!
