La Jolla Dental - La Jolla, California

Their customer service skills are significantly lower than their equipment and dental skills. They don't greet patients and often speak in an argumentative tone

I had a great dentist in Carlsbad for 20 years, but my experience with this new dentist was terrible. the service was poor, and the staff was indifferent. I do not recommend this dentist. 2star for location.

I am beyond upset about how this office for lack of a better word screwed me over financially and physically. I got a root canal done with this office in June. I expressed to dr strother my issue with a bad dentist prior to this office that led this crown to a root canal. He was aware of my fears and financial hardship after doing the work.

When the root canal was done, dr strother filled it and re cemented with the original crown I had on. He assured me that he was a perfectionist and it was done well. I came a few weeks later for my cleaning and told him i could feel a gap with my finger nail. He examined and reassured me it was fine and no gap and if i am feeling something it’s microscopic enough to not matter.

Fast forward to this past saturday, it popped off. I had to go to a new dentist cause my insurance switched. They tried putting the crown in but the gap was healing already because it had always been there and with the crown falling off on saturday it had time to start healing. The gum was inflamed and the new office I was at says they recommend a new crown to be done and refunded for the work done. I wanted a refund because this is less than a year with your offices repairs on my tooth. Due to dr Strother’s negligence, my root canal and crown not being re-cemented properly…I now have to pay for more work to be done on this tooth. Save your money and time. I called the office and they explained to me since the crown “wasn’t theirs” they don’t have to refund me. The problem was the cement. This doctor has terrible bedside manner and won’t listen to you when you say something is wrong.

The hygienist and the dentist were very nice. They didn’t try to push deep cleaning like some other dentists do.. it was easy in and out. I’ll be back in 6 months

This place was was extremely great and comfortable. The dental assistant I had working on me Lacey did and excellent job with my teeth. Very proficient at her job.

Cleaning procedure was horible. Old equipment, old approach, very painful. Looks like modern dental technologies are very big news for clinic stuff. I cannot trust and rely on this clinic in more complex procedures. If you like a sharp pain and old fashion equipment and threatment methods from last century then this clinic for you.

I’ve been using La Jolla Dental for all my dental care for at least a decade now, and Dr. Karen Lynch has been my dentist for most of that time. I’m very happy with the compassionate, professional, pain-free care that Dr. Lynch and her assistants/hygienists provide on each visit, for everything from a simple cleaning to installing a crown. I’m amazed at their new 3D modeling technology that allowed them to build & place two new crowns while avoiding the extensive grinding that was required for a good bite back in the bad old days. I highly recommend La Jolla Dental for anyone looking for a dentist in this area.

No BS dentist that gets the job done quick, professionally and hassle free - no up charges, upsells or unexpected fees.

I’ve been to 3 different dentists now and all of them have upsold me on services not covered by insurance or bill my appointment as something besides a normal cleaning. Wasted hundreds of dollars.

Dr Strother (I think that’s his name…sorry blanking on it rn) at La Jolla Dental didn’t do any of that. Checked my teeth, gave me a very clear rundown of what was happening and what he was looking at/for, even checked for mouth cancer, then did the cleaning extremely efficiently.

Walked out in 30 minutes.
No extra charges. No fees. Just good service and good cleaning.

Seriously the best dentist experience I’ve ever had.
