The Dental Express Point Loma - Dentist in Point Loma, CA

"I have to make sure that everyone is aware of what an exceptionally well ran dentist office Point Loma Dental Express is! I am so pleased to have found this office! They are terrific! Very efficient and pleasant! The dentists there are remarkable and I do not like going to the dentist and I walked out with a smile on my face last week. Thank you for every thing you do to make this world a better place."

"Usually love this place. Dr. Casey, Dr. Jaime (no longer at Pt. Loma) and Dr. David are great. Unfortunately, I had the experience of seeing Dr. Lucy for the first time. After reviewing my x-rays, she stuck her instrument in my mouth and started barking numbers to the dental assistant. I am 58 and have had 2 cavities in my life. A cavity from my childhood eventually resulted in a root canal and a crown but that's it! So now Dr. Lucy proceeds to tell me that I have 5 cavities. I am shocked and upset to say the least, which I said to her. Since my last appt. 6 months ago I now have 5 cavities? No, my diet has not changed to just sugar! She kept sticking her instrument in my tooth while I was looking in a mirror to try and see what she was talking about. I couldn't, so now she mentions additional x-rays so I can see. She also mentions my 2 crowns. I correct her and tell her I have 1 crown. I don't think she liked that I corrected her but she looked again and realized there is just 1 crown. She tells me 4 of the cavities need to be taken care of the sooner the better and asks if I had questions. Well yes, I have tons of questions but her complete lack of "bedside manner" made me just want her out of the room. The lovey hygienist (sorry, forgot her name) cleaned my teeth and helped calm me down. I declined the additional x-rays because doubt insurance covers those. The hygienist made my next appt. and noted that I'd like to see Dr. David who I've seen before and I believe we have discussed this demineralization which could potentially turn into a cavity. I've never had pain and I think we're just keeping an eye on things. I realize at 58 your enamel starts to deteriorate but what preventative measures can we take and does "take care of" mean drilling and filling 4 teeth ('cause you know insurance only covers a portion of that)? Dr. Lucy and her "you have this, you need to do that, blah, blah, blah" just made me see dollar signs. All the other dentists I've seen were very personable and complementary on the state of my teeth at my age. Again, love this place and love the staff but Dr. Lucy was the exception. Kindness matters!"

"The staff exhibited patience, kindness, and outstanding friendliness. Despite facing some issues and acknowledging my own rudeness, the staff maintained exceptional patience. The dentists worked efficiently and showcased remarkable patience as well. They consistently inquired about my well-being, ensuring my comfort throughout. Choosing to come here ultimately proved to be a wise decision."

"Excellent practitioners and general service, but please stop overbooking! So often there is only one dentist simultaneously treating multiple patients. I do not live in the Point Loma area, I go out of my way for every appointment, so I do not appreciate my time being wasted! Sometimes, I wait up to an hour only to be told they won’t have time to treat me. Then, don’t schedule me in the first place! Don’t schedule more patients than there are dentists! I have been a long time patient, but unfortunately I am now going to find another office."

"A friend of mine recommended this place to me when I mentioned I was looking for a good dentist and I’m glad I came to experience this place. I loved my experience, and I was able to book an appointment the next day as a new patient. Rochelle was my hygienist and did an amazing job! She gave me sunglasses to block the bright lights while I was laying down, and she was incredibly gentle with removing plaque buildup. Dr. Davis is amazing! You can tell he really enjoys what he does. He is wonderfully personable, and gave me a comprehensive explanation of my X-rays when I was being curious about the different annotations on the screen. In fact, after I asked about the annotations (I was laying down at this point) ended up raising my chair and walked me through his entire review of my X-rays—it was pretty neat. Looking forward to my next cleaning/exam!"
