How to Choose the Right Dentist for You!

Finding a dentist sounds simple. You contact your insurance carrier and look for a dentist close in proximity. So easy! But that’s just not the case. Going to the dentist can be nerve wracking. The possibility of cavities, drilling and pain in your mouth, is a very sensitive matter. It’s important you choose a dentist who understands your concerns, communicates your options and gives you the best care.

Rather than telling you what we think is important in choosing the right dentist, we asked our patients what’s most important to them when searching for a dentist. Here is what our patients are looking for when they come to Bonita Del Rey.

Personal ComfortGoogle Dental Reviews

“It is a team effort and approach which is nice and makes you feel like a valued part of the family. They made what I thought was an impossible job to get a great smile possible. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel. I am forever grateful. The precision of dental work, competency of skills, dedication to excellence and impeccable customer service is what makes Bonita Del Rey the top dentistry in San Diego!!!!” – Sandra B.

Cutting-Edge TechnologyYelp Dentist Review

“All the staff there are friendly and professional. They really made me feel at ease and they know what they’re doing. I have had numerous crowns made or replaced by Dr. Espinoza in the past three years without any problems whatsoever. He uses the newest technology imaging to produce a perfect fitting crown in just over an hour! This is light years ahead of the old method; a much more comfortable procedure with better results. Surprisingly, the cost for this superior dental care is very comparable. I couldn’t be happier with this dental office.” – Alan E.

Emergency CareGoogle Dental Reviews

“I have been coming here for a few years now and am extremely pleased with them! I had to go in for an emergency, my tooth broke, and Even though they were booked for the day they were able to squeeze me in and fix my tooth all in the same day. The staff here is very friendly, knowledgeable and always make sure I feel comfortable. They always explain procedures thoroughly and make sure I know all options available to me. Dr. Aldo always make sure I am well taken care. I highly recommend Bonita Del Rey Dental!” – Angelica M.

Customized Treatment PlansFacebook Dentist Reviews

“I have been to a lot of dental offices and this is the best, friendliest and most caring they are the Cheers to Dental offices, where everyone knows your name. All patients have different needs and they figure how to work with that to make your visit a better experience.” – William R.

You may see commonalities in how our patients choose a dentist, but it’s clear everyone has different needs. Make a list of what’s most important to you, and do your research. We recommend looking at dentist reviews on Google, Yelp and Facebook. Here is a link to ours, dental reviews.

At the end of the day it’s all about YOU…and we want you to choose the right dentist for you. “We care about our patients overall health and well-being. We care to take all the necessary time that is needed to show and explain each individual oral condition. We care to be compassionate and understanding. We know that being at the dentist is already a stressful situation to most people, and we care to listen to all your concerns and do our best to make the visit as pleasant as possible.” – Dr. Espinosa
