Best 19 Dental Clinics and Dentists in Oceanside, CA You Can Rely On
05-2025 North Coast Dental Group: Dr. Fiona Tavakoli in Best 19 Dental Clinics and Dentists in Oceanside, CA You Can Rely OnDayana N. Coffler DMD - Oceanside Kathryn Hall: My husband and I both had dentist appointments last week and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Coffler and her hygienist Rosanna. I have TERRIBLE medical and dental anxiety from past trauma and had a total of 4 panic attacks while getting my cleaning. They were both so kind and so understanding and truly made it a safe space for me. If you have dental anxiety or fears this is the best place to go. I will recommend Dr. Coffler to everyone and don’t think I will ever go to another dentist. Thank you to this whole office for being so kind to me.
JD Dental Care - San Francisco Michelle Cheng: Dr. Jin and his staff are highly professional, kind, and skilled. I have gotten my teeth cleaned here 3 times now. I get checked in quickly and out within 45 minutes. Dr. Jin is fun to talk to and he answers all my questions. Highly recommend!
Chua Family Dental - San Francisco Olin Blackmore: Dr. Chua is the best! Truly the kindest medical professional I’ve ever encountered. Every visit feels like checking in with a friend and I feel so much more confident in my dental care and smile. Will follow you anywhere Dr. Chua!
Onsite Dental - San Francisco Carshena Henry: The staff provided outstanding care and made me feel completely comfortable. The office is stunning, with an amazing view from the dental chair and state-of-the-art technology. Hands down, a perfect 10/10 experience!
Yerba Buena Dentistry - San Francisco Stephen Chow: I found this dental clinic on Google and decided to give a try because its just a few blocks from my office. The overall experience was great.
Despite having an appointment, there was a wait. I went in for a regular teeth cleaning, waited 12 minutes, had an X-ray, and then another short wait, totaling about 26 minutes before being seen by the dentist. The cleaning and polish took less than 30 minutes, which was efficient, though results may vary depending on your dental health.
The staff was helpful, and I was able to complete all the forms via online in advance, which saved a lot of time. The crew and dentist are very friendly.
Metro Dental Group - San Francisco Jennifer: Been here 2x already- one for annual exam/cleaning and one for 2 cavity fillings. Both went smoothly and painlessly. Love the care and attentiveness Dr. Mark provides, he’s super genuine and down to earth. Also can’t forget to mention Victor, he was super kind and helped clean my teeth so white! Def no BS given by anyone in the dental office, which makes me trust them more than some other dental offices in the city. Highly recommend them!
Wayne W Lee DDS and Associates - San Francisco David Letona: I went here sometime January 9th of 2023 for acute pain that had developed over the course of 48 hours and continued to increase in intensity. I came here to get my pain addressed urgently because I had a flight back to Long Beach the same day. Upon arriving, I told the Dentist my symptoms and what over the counter stuff I took and the dosages. I was told I had a small abscess forming but nothing was visible on the surface, only in the pocket on X-ray. I maxed out my daily limit for Tylenol, and Ibuprofen. I was told that because of that, I was unable to receive Vicodin, since it contained some Tylenol. I asked for a Lidocaine injection to buy me time for pain relief during the flight, and he stated "thats not how that works" Instead, I was given a prescription for Amoxicillin and told to not be so hesitant before I at least try it. I wasnt offered any numbing gel, alternative analgesics, or even an ice pack for the road. I left that "emergency dental office" with the same emergency and pain I came in with. I stood in a long line for a medication that ultimately did not work. Once I landed in Long Beach, I scheduled an emergency appointment with my dentist and got the first time slot when they opened. Once the hygienist looked in my mouth, she stormed out of the room to get the dentist. I was immediately given a lidocaine injection and my pain was relieved. I was given Augmentin, which worked perfectly. I coincidentally now live in San Francisco, looking for a dentist when I came across this familiar name. I wanted to write about my experience for others who are scrolling through their phone in excruciating pain, to avoid this place. This guy pays to clean up his Yelp reviews, and had my “tip” removed. This Dentist never once reached out to apologize or make things right.
San Francisco Dental Spa - San Francisco srijan subedi: This was, hands‑down, my worst healthcare experience ever. If there was a way to give 0 star I would.
False sense of security on costs:
Staff assured me insurance would cover everything—maybe even leave a credit. Two months later, I got a surprise $500 bill. I’d already paid a few hundred dollars for the deep cleaning and repeatedly asked the staff to confirm there would be no additional charges. If they told me about the possibility of this being denied I would not have gotten the treatment.
Hard sell on unnecessary work:
Every patient seems to get the same bundle: deep cleaning, a custom night mouthguard, and some herbal mouth wash. Two other dentists—including my orthodontist—told me the deep cleaning was overkill for me and advised me to find another dentist that wasnt prescribing unnecessary work.
Zero accountability—despite a chorus of complaints
Scroll through their reviews and you’ll see the same story on repeat: patients pressured into the “deep‑cleaning + mouthguard + rinse” bundle, only to be stuck with charges insurance won’t cover. Each time, the clinic hides behind fine print—“you signed the policy”—instead of fixing its practices or taking responsibility.
Predatory billing
Check Google reviews: they’ll send a $50 no‑show fee straight to collections. That tells you everything about their priorities.
OVERALL AVOID THIS PLACE!!
Innovative Dental - San Francisco Robert Choe: I have been going to Innovative Dental for many many years. They are very professional and do their best to accommodate. I am definitely
NOT an easy patient. And they always go way out of their way to do right by me.
Had my Invisaligns done here and I lost trays several times.
I have done implants, crowns, and other work that was as painless as can be. I have been to several other dentists in my life and I can tell you they are the absolute best.
From front office (Lynda and team) to Dr. Han and every staff member. I really appreciate all of them.
Chow & Ysaac Family Dentistry - San Francisco Deanna D: I’ve been coming to Chow & Ysaac Family Dentistry for as long as I can remember. They’ve become like my second family! I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Chow & Dr. Ysaac- from the annual teeth cleaning to my overbite correction to all four of my wisdom teeth extractions, Dr. Chow & Dr. Ysaac have been there for it all and have attended to any dental needs I’ve had with such great care and attention to detail. I have the utmost trust for them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for new dental services.
