The hygienists are great and taught me some new strategies to keep my teeth in better condition. Unfortunately, both visits I had for cleaning two separate dentists seemed pushy for getting extra work done. I had a very small chip in my front tooth. Both dentists were pushing for veneers instead of a simple bond. I felt like they were trying to upsell me on cosmetic work. They also wanted to remove my wisdom teeth which to be fair I will probably need to do eventually. I got a second opinion from my dentist back home and he told me to keep them clean. He also shook his head over them saying I need veneers. The dentists felt like salespeople who just wanted me to spend money and not take into account what I actually needed. I won’t be going back after giving them two chances.

I went in for an extraction and they broke my crown on a neighboring tooth. Then quoted me a high rate to fix it. I was also in so much pain after the extraction, for longer than expected, and was told to try ibuprofen. The amount of pain made work and eating and basic functions a nightmare for 2 weeks. When I reached out to them about fixing the crown thy broke I was signor. I still never heard back after repeated contact attempts. After all this, during my checkup, the dentist was trying hard to upsell me on braces and other dental upgrades.

Erin did my teeth cleaning recently. Best teeth cleaning I've ever had! She worked miracles, removing all my stains. She worked so fast, I didn't even realize she was done until I was told. She also answered all my many, many questions and was really sweet and informative. Considering at this moment I am drinking black tea again, I will definitely be back!

I only started going to La Mesa Dental Artistry earlier this month, but I will never go anywhere else as long as I live in the San Diego area. I was able to get in for my initial appointment on a cancellation and I was so lucky to get in when I did because I was told they were booked out until July (which was a good sign to me). My hygienist was Erin and she was absolutely amazing. I had not been to a dentist in many, many years, but Erin made everything so easy and pain free. After my preliminary exam, I met Dr. Simpson who was just as amazing. He explained everything to me, laid out our plan, and I honestly couldn’t wait to get back in there. I had a deep cleaning and fillings booked for July but asked to be put on a cancellation list since I live very close. My first exam was Monday and by the following Monday, I was called for a same day cancellation that I jumped on (Kristine was my hygienist this time and she is so amazing too). And then by another stroke of luck, I received another call today offering a cancelled spot and obviously I took that as well. Everyone on their team is so amazing and wonderful, and they are very transparent about pricing. I am so lucky that a quick Yelp search brought me to this amazing dental office. I will likely be moving to North County within the next few months but that will not stop me from making the drive because they are absolutely worth it! I apologize for the long, rambling review, but they really deserve the praise.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. In my experience, I noticed that they have a high focus on preventing gum disease and maintaining good dental health. The dental hygienist are nice to talk to. They are also gentle yet thorough when they did my teeth cleaning. Dr Simpson worked on my cavity and it was a smooth procedure. He also asked if i wanted to see an orthodontist to help with fixing my bite. I said yes and he wrote me a referral letter. Ive been to this dentist for a total of three or four times and each time they go over my progression and what to do to maintain good dental hygiene. Overall, i would recommend this dentist because they are knowledgeable, thorough, and gentle. Thank you La Mesa Dental Artistry! Keep up the great work!
