Life Smiles Dental Care 2260 Otay Lakes Road, Chula Vista, CA 91915

"I came to Dr.Hayatt after being scared and hurt by a previous dentist. Dr.Hayatt was very patient and understanding with me during my visits. He let me take breaks when I got uncomfortable and his work was very gentle yet thorough. The best part was that it was absolutely pain free! The front desk receptionist was very kind and friendly as well. Overall, the staff is very helpful and compassionate. I’ve referred my friends and family to them with the utmost certainty that they’ll love the service!"

"Was not impressed with my experience. Front desk lady was not kind or very helpful. She seemed annoyed when i asked questions and that i was bothering her. I felt like the teeth cleaning was very quick and took maybe 7 minutes? ...I assumed it was because I took great care of my teeth, but after reading other reviews..I seems like lack of effort was the issue. The office was not clean at all. The air vents on the ceiling and the ceiling tiles surrounding it were VERY dusty and dirty..visibly..not exactly what you want to see when you're asked to open wide..hopefully the cleaning removed any potential dust bunnies from my teeth. Dr Hayatt was nice and easy to talk with. this complaint is not to you as a person..more so your staff and lack of cleanliness."

"Dr. Hayatt is amazing!! He was able to squeeze me in after my filling (done by another doctor) unexpectedly came out! He was awesome and surprisingly didn’t feel any pain when he filled my cavities! I appreciate him and the front desk worker so so much! Recommend 100%."

"Came to this place for a cleaning since my insurance changed and my regular dentist did not accept my new coverage. The first problem I had was with the X-ray technician. When he put one of the sensors in my mouth, he tripped over the cord - I seriously thought he knocked a tooth out! It was so painful and he was super nonchalant about it. So unprofessional. My next complaint is about my actual teeth cleaning. I take very good care of my teeth and normally go to get my cleanings every 6 months. My regular hygienist ALWAYS scrapes my teeth to remove any tartar buildup. I can always see the difference in my teeth afterwards. Dr. Hyatt did my “cleaning,” which I’m air-quoting because I can hardly call it that. After looking at my X-rays, he did the quickest exam I’ve ever gotten followed by the most haphazard “cleaning.” I don’t believe he even did an oral cancer screening, and if he did, it was not thorough. He didn’t even check under my tongue. He also didn’t check my gum health. My regular cleanings consist of a gum score, which I did not receive during my appointment. The cleaning lasted about 5 minutes. All he did was polish and floss my teeth and offered me mouth wash to rinse - that is it! I could have done that at home! No scraping, no gum check, no fluoride. Nothing! I hadn’t gotten a cleaning since 2019 due to the pandemic and my busy schedule. I find it very hard to believe that I had no tartar buildup whatsoever after two years! I even asked him after he flossed my teeth if he was going to do any scraping. He said it wasn’t necessary. Unbelievable! Coming here was a huge waste of my time. You are much better off going to a hygienist than this doctor. IN RESPONSE TO THE DR.: I am not mistaken in my review. This is exactly what happened during my visit. So if you don’t want patients to leave negative reviews, the least you can do is provide a thorough cleaning. I addressed this issue with you during my visit asked after you polished me teeth if you weren’t going to scrape and, as stated in my initial review, your response was that it wasn’t necessary… after two years of no cleaning. What I would prefer is a refund to whatever you charged my insurance as I do not wish to return to this office."
