Our Mission

We Want Your Smile To Empower You

Our mission is to help you discover the smile that YOU want. Whatever that may be. Maybe you want to straighten your teeth. Or, you might want those pearly whites you see on TV. Your version of ideal might be as simple as chewing without pain or discomfort again.

Whatever your goals are, we’ll create a plan together to get you there in the best and most budget-friendly way possible. We believe dentistry is a team effort, and when you trust us with your dental health, we aim to make your smile a source of confidence.

Our Affordable Services

With six convenient locations in the San Diego area, affordable, family-friendly dental care is right around the corner. We have offices in:

Dental Exam

Regular dental exams are one of the pillars of dental health. When you come in for your exam, we’ll take an in-depth look at your mouth and teeth to evaluate issues like tooth decay, cavities, or gum disease. From there, we’ll plan the best course of action to create your ideal smile.

SmileCorrect Aligners
Need to straighten things out? Using clear, removable, personalized aligners, you can even out your smile without the hassle and dietary restrictions of metal braces. Whenever it’s time to eat, just pop them out. No food getting stuck in your teeth. No flossing around metal braces. Just a straight, happy smile!
Pediatric Dentistry
Fostering healthy dental habits at a young age is the best way to ensure your little one has a healthy smile for years to come. We’re happy to provide pediatric dental services in a fun, comfortable, and educational environment that will have your child excited about dental health. At Dental Express, taking your little one to the dentist is nothing to stress about.
Dental Sealants
Think of dental sealants as raincoats for your teeth. Once in place, they block the buildup of bacteria, tartar, plaque, and food particles, protecting your teeth from decay and cavities. Sealants are the perfect treatment for children who struggle with cavities or have difficulty maintaining healthy dental habits at home.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments use concentrated fluoride levels to provide an extra line of defense against tooth decay and cavities. These treatments are usually included as part of your routine dental cleaning and help patients of all ages maintain a healthy smile.
Teeth Whitening
With all the coffee and sugar-heavy drinks we consume these days, maintaining a white smile can be challenging. To help you reach your ideal smile, we offer both in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments. See results in just twenty minutes at the office and within a week at home.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
If a cavity eats away at your enamel, then protecting your teeth and choosing the right filling for you is our main priority. Tooth-colored fillings help stop further decay, restore the strength of your teeth, and blend in with the rest of your smile. If you want a natural-looking solution to cavities or to replace your amalgam filling, ask your dentist about tooth-colored fillings.
Root Canal Therapy

When tooth decay gets out of hand, it can cause an infection in the pulp of your tooth. Also called endodontic treatment, root canals are how we treat these infections. During treatment, we remove the damaged pulp, clean the cavity, and fill the tooth, leaving you with a repaired and fully functioning smile.

Dental Crowns

A crown is like a suit of armor for your tooth. If one of your teeth is cracked, decayed, or discolored, a crown can protect it from further damage. Crowns can be made of porcelain, metal, or both and can be colored to blend in with your other teeth, maintaining a natural-looking beautiful smile.

Dental Bridges
Dental bridges help bridge the gap between missing teeth. Whether supported by your natural teeth, a dental implant, or both, bridges keep your remaining teeth from shifting and causing chewing issues. If you’ve lost multiple teeth, getting a bridge can improve your oral health and restore the look of your smile.
Dental Bonding & Contouring
Have a chipped or discolored tooth? Bonding and contouring involve using composite resin to correct your tooth’s shape and color, without the hefty price tag of other cosmetic procedures.
Porcelain Veneers
Just like crowns are a suit of armor for your teeth, porcelain veneers are like protective helmets. Customized and secured to the front of your teeth, veneers renew your smile by covering up crooked, chipped, stained, or decayed teeth. This quick and painless restorative treatment usually takes just two visits.
Emergency Dental Care

Did your kid lose a tooth at soccer practice? Did one of your fillings fall out on Christmas Eve? Whatever your emergency may be, we’re here to provide you with fast, quality treatment to manage your pain, fix the issue, and get you back to smiling as soon as possible.

Tooth Extractions
We do our best to preserve your natural teeth as long as possible, but when a tooth is beyond repair or threatening to disrupt your overall dental health, an extraction may be the best step forward. We offer different sedation options to make the experience as comfortable as possible and set you up with all the information and necessary medications you need for a speedy recovery.
Wisdom Teeth Services
Not all of them need to be removed, but if you’re experiencing pain or discomfort due to impacted or emerging wisdom teeth, we’ll evaluate your situation and come up with a plan that’s best for your dental health. We offer wisdom teeth extraction services at all six of our locations to remove any problem teeth and make your smile pain-free again.
Dentures
Dentures are an excellent solution for anyone who’s lost several or more teeth. We offer customized partial, full-removable, or implant-retained dentures to give you back your smile and have you chewing and speaking with confidence again.
Dental Implants

Dental implants are the most reliable and natural-looking way to restore your smile after losing a tooth. This treatment involves placing a metal post – usually made of titanium – into your gums that acts as a strong base for a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are beneficial for anyone struggling with speaking or chewing issues due to a missing tooth.

All-on-4 Dental Implants
Tired of your removable dentures? It might be time to look into All-on-4 implants. This treatment involves four dental implants put in place to support a full set of dentures. The process usually takes place over several months and requires several follow-up appointments. Believe it or not, you can treat these dentures just like your natural teeth, without the hassle, adhesives, or dietary restrictions that come with regular dentures.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
If you have an intense fear of going to the dentist, we’ll work with you in any way we can to make your experience as comfortable as possible. When longer procedures or even regular dental cleanings become too stressful, we’re happy to offer nitrous oxide sedation to help you relax. When you come to Dental Express, we want you to feel welcomed without judgment, no matter your comfort level.
Periodontal Dentistry
If you have periodontal disease, then protecting your smile is our main concern. Our periodontal dentistry services eliminate plaque and tartar from your teeth, stop the spread of gum disease, and keep periodontitis at bay. We also offer laser gum treatment for any patients who want to reduce their “gummy” smile.
Scaling & Root Planing
This powerful treatment helps fight gum disease by cleaning out tartar and plaque beneath the gum line. Once we remove the harmful bacteria, we’ll smooth out your enamel to discourage any further buildup. If this treatment sounds scary, don’t worry! We’re happy to offer local anesthesia to numb the area.
Laser Gum Treatment
It’s as cool as it sounds! We use high-tech laser technology to zap away periodontitis. This state-of-the-art treatment is a faster, more accurate treatment for periodontal disease than traditional procedures — Not to mention, you’ll recover much faster too.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening is usually an aesthetic treatment that removes some of your gum tissue to reveal more of your tooth. In some cases, it’s used to create space for a crown, filling, or other restoration. This treatment is perfect for anyone who feels their smile is too “gummy.”
Caries Risk Assessment
Believe it or not, tooth decay is the most common infectious disease affecting children in the US today. By the time they reach kindergarten, 28% of children in the US have cavities. And it’s no surprise, considering how almost everything we eat and drink these days has some amount of processed sugar in it. To identify early risk factors and get a head start in the fight against tooth decay, Dental Express offers Caries (Cavity) Risk Assessments to infants and children between the ages of 0 and 5. When you bring your little one in for an assessment, we’ll ask you a short series of in-depth questions and perform a dental exam to determine their risk level. Based on the results, and if your child shows signs of early childhood tooth decay, we’ll come up with a plan to treat, manage, and prevent cavities in the future.

Both my experiences have been great! I had to change dentists after my old office dropped my insurance and was referred here.

The dentist and staff here are outstanding. They are friendly, courteous, respectful and very professional. Did great work on my teeth. Thank you.
Mark R.
Honest dentists who don't try to oversell you on work you don't really need. quick, friendly, and will get the job done. Only issue I had is nobody answering the phones or calling me back. I left 3 voicemails and never got a call back over a week later, so I just made an appointment online and that worked well.
Diana
The Dental Express, Dr. Jaimie and the whole team of employees there couldn't be more professional and caring for my dental needs. Thanks so much to everyone!

I had a wonderful experience thanks to the receptionist, who was incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment I walked in. She greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel comfortable right away. Her friendly demeanor and professionalism set a positive tone for my entire visit. It’s rare to find someone who can balance warmth and efficiency so effortlessly. She truly made my day. Shout out to my girl who said redheads are black and I am always invited to the cookout. Thank you! 🥹🫶🏻

Emmanuel M.
I’ve been a patient of the Dental Express in Downtown San Diego for a couple years now. The staff and doctors have always been very friendly and I’ve received exceptional care.
Kevin S.
I had a great experience. Booking was easy, they accommodated me and my bad back, the dentist and all the staff were kind and approachable and I feel they did a great job with the cleaning.

The only downside is the chairs in the waiting room.
Samantha M.
I want to give a HUGE shout out to both Jenifer and Arturo (sorry if I spelled your names wrong) You guys are amazing!
I first came to Dental Express a couple years back, but my son who has ADHD and mild autism wasn't able to complete his appointment last time due to the fact that he was overwhelmed by having things in his mouth and couldn't finish X -rays so they didn't bother to clean his teeth.

We came back, and tried Dental Express again. I'm super grateful for the patience and positive attitude Jenifer and Arturo have. Thank you guys so so much I truly appreciate it! Jenifer I admire your willingness to help and Arturos dedication! You guys are the reason we will be coming back to this location. Also Jeremiah is very grateful for his toys! Thank you once again!
Rubi T.

I had a dentist appointment for general cleaning and I would like to say that I had a very good experience with hygienist Mohamed Hanafy during my recent dental cleaning and felt that I was well taken care of.

The dentist Felix was especially attentive and made sure, I felt at ease throughout the appointment. It’s rare to find a place where you feel. this well taken care of from start to finish. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for excellent dental care with a personal touch!

Ashley D.
I've been coming to Dental Express Downtown for years. The office is always clean and welcoming, the front desk staff is super friendly, and I genuinely enjoy the music they play—it makes each visit that much more relaxing. But the real reason I keep coming back is Christina. She is absolutely fantastic—professional, gentle, and always takes great care of my teeth. You can tell she really cares about her patients.

Located just down the street from Petco Park, this spot is super convenient if you live or work in downtown San Diego. Whether you need a routine checkup or something more urgent, they make it easy to get in, even with walk-ins or same-day appointments. I highly recommend Dental Express Downtown for anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional dentist in downtown San Diego.
JetMiss J.
Great experience, made me feel very comfortable
Debbie V.
I’m absolutely impressed at the professionalism and friendliness of all the staff members. Dr. Alshawi, and her wonderful assistants made me feel very comfortable. I’ve never encountered anything close to this dental experience. No one loves going to one, but they ensured I was ok throughout. My doctor pushed through what had been initially unapproved by Denti-Cal. What was to be a re-exam was fully approved during the visit. All the work completed, except for the appt to get my permanent crowns. My insurance was ending, and she got it done in time. A root canal, and 3 crowns! Mostly, their empathy when I told them my brother just died. I was fighting back tears while I clung onto the arms of the chair, as most of us do, in spite of not feeling the procedure. State-of-the-art equipment. Impeccably clean. The train theme is a nice plus, as well as their beautiful pottery. It’s museum-like…a nice distraction to the work at hand. I’m so grateful! It took months to find a reputable dental facility that could perform all the work in one place, especially with a rare blood cancer leaving me fearful in just anyone perform it. Please read their mission statement on their site. Owner, Dr. Casey has a history of family dentistry. He cares, and helps the less-fortunate populations by accepting Medi-Cal. It is reflected in all his staff members. So refreshing! I highly recommend The Dental Express who have several locations. Debbie
nancy M.
I just had an implant done by Dr. Jaime and I can tell you it was an awesome experience , Dr. Jaime has outstanding bedside manners that puts you at ease and his work is impecable , I wish I could give him more stars . My experience in the Escondido office has been great , from the staff at the front desk , Dr. Michele who also is outstaning ,the assistants , Nicky that did a terrific cleaning , all in all this is the best office in the County , maybe the State , I drive one hour to get there and would not consider going anyplace else.
Jesse C.
Great service and comforting environment.

"Dr.Bowens was amazing, kind, attentive, and very knowledgeable. I send all my family to him , he is a wonderful dentist and very caring and professional
Ronnie H.
I’m a new patient here at Dental Express. Everyone at this office is very nice, but a huge shout out to Donna at the front desk for explaining everything to me in detail, she made this process easy, and Dr. Jenn and Melissa V, wow. The care that I received from these two, hands down was the best. Thank you dental express for excellent care.
john M.
All the staff, hygienist Chris. Especially my Dentist Dr Park was absolutely amazing, professional & very caring + Took Excellent care of me. Highly recommend... Thank you so much Dr Park, I'm Very Grateful 💯☺️
Elisha C.
I have been going to Dental Express for at least 10 years now. I started at the Point Loma location with Dr. Casey and now I have been to just about every location. Escondido has been the best experience for me by far. The front desk answers the phones and always has great attitudes and professionalism as well as patience. The manager is so beautiful and kind. The staff is just very welcoming and attentive and great at their jobs. Dr. Kondo is the best! I followed her from the Clairemont location and I am so grateful to her for being an above and beyond doctor with her patients who also advocates for them. I feel so blessed and grateful to you all, thank you for being so invaluable. You guys matter and are appreciated!
mohy O.
Hygienist Mohamed is the best!
Great guy, great understanding. He’s awesome communicator. I would recommend.

I had an amazing first experience at Dental Express Clairemont! From start to finish, everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. Dr. Valerie Le Murphy was wonderful — she made me feel comfortable and explained everything clearly. Arturo, who did my cleaning, was gentle, thorough, and super friendly. Honestly, it was one of the best cleanings I’ve ever had.

I know there may be some mixed reviews out there, but everyone’s experience is different.

Personally, I felt genuinely cared for and well taken care of. I highly recommend this office if you’re looking for a dental team that truly goes above and beyond!

Carrie C
I haven’t been to the dentist in 15 years. I was super nervous. Narius (sp) was the first person that cared for me and he put me at ease with his kindness and sense of humor. Dr Jamie did an over all evaluation of my dental needs and was kind and gentle. The hygienist was very sweet and hummed happily as she cleaned my teeth. My future needs were explained to me clearly with the costs explained up front. I go back in 2 weeks to continue my dental journey and I feel certain that I will be well cared for. Narius (sp) playfully gave me a sticker for being a good girl! 😁
Elias L.
Mohamed is THE GUY. He did my dental cleaning and showed me some great techniques to keep my teeth as pristine as possible. Appreciate you home boy, hope you get that bonus! 🙌🏽😎

Adelaide Z.
I have mediCAL ( medicare) coverage and they take my insuirance. So much nicer than my old dentist. Zero discomfort with the X rays and the whole process was super quick. Im looking forward to my next appointment.
Nickolay S.
Dr. Le Murphy has been amazing to me and my teeth. She has shown exceptional professionalism in all her dental work. The crown she placed a year ago feels just like a natural tooth. Recently, she extracted a tooth so smoothly that there was hardly any bleeding, and my recovery was excellent within a week.
Dr. Kaisy placed another crown about a year ago, and it has been working perfectly. Dr. Connor cleaned the buildup from my teeth so efficiently that they look brand new again.

This clinic truly respects its patients and delivers outstanding care with professionalism and kindness.

Apologies if I’ve misspelled any names.
Lori B.
Great experience and quick!

Randy “Savage” S.
This place is awesome! I had a bad experience with a dentist when I was very young. Since then, I had an overwhelming fear of ever going back. This allowed for me having alot of dental problems over the years. Cavities, tooth loss and lots of pain! I finally could not take it anymore. My friend told me about Dental express. I am so glad I went! From the time I walked in , till the time I left. Nothing but kindness and understanding. I went in with a broken smile and little confidence and walked out with a beautiful smile and a confidence beyond belief! Express Dental Changed My Life! DR. Jamie is the best!
connie S.
Muhammed did a great job on my teeth. He was very gentle and thorough

Every time my husband and I come in we are so grateful for the kindness, professionalism and patience of the staff. It goes a long way to give a wonderful experience.

Today Paula and Sandy at the front desk were extremely helpful and put me at ease. Arturo was so kind and excellent at cleaning my teeth. I can’t say enough good about him and all the staff every single time we have come in. Thank you!!!

This is the best dental practice! I have tried so many places in San Diego. Finally, I found a place where the actually have great customer service and get the job done without a million appointments. I lost so many teeth due to chemo and needed dentures. 2 visits, I walked out being able to smile again. The dentist, so adept and quick, no pain at all! Best place ever!

This place and all the people here are truly amazing!! I’ve been literally being tortured at other dental offices till now!! My husband has been trying to tell me that all the people at dental express will change how I look at going to the DENTIST. It has restored my faith once again!! I’ve had deep cleaning, crowns and fillings, ZERO PAIN!! Dr Marty knows his job (My dentist for life!!) and Cyndy was my hygienist that I’m looking forward to again getting my teeth cleaned. Honestly every person here is awesome!! Thank you 😊

Marina C.
My husband went in for a tooth ache. Which needed to be extracted since it was too late to save. What we really liked was that the doctor took the time to show us and explain what was causing the pain and why it couldnt be saved. Not only that the dental assistant took her time to explain the after care and follow up appointments and well as reaching out to the authorization department so we can push for other treatment that needs to be done before it becomes to late. As first time patients we love this office and will definitely recommend to others.
Robert James B.
Excellent People, so kind and caring.
Made me feel like family.

Great place , wonderful staff and I’m scary cat so they sure did make me feel safe and there was no pain and that’s the best part of it all! I totally recommend them!

Dr. Jamie is amazing. Professional, easy to communicate with (he listens and tells it to you straight). I, like most people am not fond of trips to the dentist. Any dentist, but Dental Express and their friendly attentive staff and of course Dr. Jamie made sure I was comfortable at all times and I came away with a beautiful smile. Dr. Jamie went out of his way to make sure I was more than satisfied and I can't thank him and his staff enough.

I was extremely nervous about seeing the dentist ring it had been a few years since my last visit. Needless to say the staff and Doctor Jamie are amazing!! They made me feel very comfortable, got me booked in fast, treatment was painless ( for me at least ) I definitely recommend Dental Express to anyone seeking excellent dental services..
Teresa S.
I was a first time patient here and I had the best experience with Marwa!! She is very sweet and I cannot recommend her enough! She took care of me and my teeth and I feel a lot better after coming to her!
Robert K.
The staff were super informative and friendly especially Paola
Garrett L.
I have to express the great experience I had because of my angel of a dental assistant, Claudia. She was one of the kindest humans I have ever met and though I was being quite annoying with the questions and concerns I had about my filling, she answered each one with patience and kindness and reassurance that everything was going to be okay. She was genuinely just such a sweetheart it made my whole day. She was very good at her job too. The doctor was good, but Claudia made the whole experience incredible. Thanks and great job, Claudia 🙏🏻👏🏻

I’ve struggled with post-traumatic stress related to dentists since I had a procedure without anesthesia when I was a little girl! Despite my cries and pain, they held me down in the chair until it was finished. After that, every visit to the dentist became a traumatic experience for me. With the help of therapy, I decided to face my fear of the dentist again and found this amazing place in Escondido. I can’t even explain how incredible Dr. Jamie is. He’s not only a highly skilled professional but also an amazing person. He’s always so kind and ensures that I feel no pain during any procedure—and I’ve had several done so far. The staff here is also outstanding; everyone is incredibly friendly and attentive. I couldn’t be happier to have found this place after everything I’ve been through. Highly recommended!!!!
Danielle
Let me tell you this!! I have always been afraid of going to the dentist , probably bcz of judgement, I have messed up back teeth and had a yellow front tooth and I was tired of not being able to smile so I booked an appointment and let me tell you they are all amazing especially Dr.Mays, She’s the best in this world she’s gentle , kind and knows her stuff! My front tooth looks amazing and I have zero fear of the dentist now. Dr Mays will always be my dentist Hero ! 5 stars to her and her assistants. I Highly highly recommend this office to anyone who has fear of a dentist. They don’t judge you they just fix you! Thank you Dr Mays I can now smile again ! With all my love to all of you !

Best dental experience I've ever had! So glad I found them for my daughter and I. Very clean and welcoming facility, friendly staff and no long waits. They went over my X-rays with me, and I feel like they were very thorough.

This place is the best place ever. They are all so wonderfully friendly and at the same time professional. I had Nerius and Erika helping me and they were amazing. I would recommend this dentist to all I know
Marie M.
This is by far the best dentist I’ve ever been to! The customer service is exceptional, and the doctor is highly skilled, efficient, and clearly knows her craft. The staff are all incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable every step of the way. They made the procedures as painless as possible. I’ve been searching for a great dentist for a long time, and I’m so glad I found this place. I can’t recommend them enough!

Linda C.
I have been coming to Dental Express for many years now, based on a referral from a friend. Their offices are beautiful, large and airy with a train theme that features a train running near the ceiling throughout the offices. Cute! I have found the admin staff to always be pleasant and efficient and I almost never have to wait. They did a beautiful job on some dentures for me, so I have referred at least 3 friends for the same. They were also pleased with the results and timeliness of getting the job done. They take most insurance including Medi-Cal, so don't put off going to see them! Your smile will change your life!
Angel V.
This is one of the best dental experiences I ever had, by far the best ever since a kid, they treat you with care and definitely know how to treat their patients well and the environment is welcoming definitely will be coming back here for as long as I could,
Haydee R.
Dental Express has been a life saver!! Great friendly staff! My whole family comes to get dental care here. Dr. Jamie was aamqzing and he was able to fixed all the mistakes my previous dentist made. Thank you!!
THE F.
So I’ve been to this location many times for my wife and children. And all of them have had great experiences without any complaints. I have also had some experience with Dr. Marty and I’ll have to say, I’ll never go anywhere else!

11-7-24 My experiences have been under unreal amounts of tooth pain and anxiety attacks. But not only did Dr. Marty take the pain from a 10 to a “0”, he also made me feel extremely calm and that my anxiety was normal. He gave me the meds to take an hour before I came back, and he got this aggravated root canal taken care off in about a half an hour. Pain free days are ahead so thank you Doc. A+
Ashlee H.
Big big big shout out to Dr. Marty and his staff Lindsay, Anna, Karina and Valerie thank you so much ladies and Dr. Marty oh back staff too Richard and Dr. Marty’s other assistant oh she’s so sweet. I cannot think of her name at the top of my head right now, but I have shout to her 11-year-old son thank you guys so much
Marcelo L.
Very profesional and friendly staff, doc and staff makes feel great about being here!
Zachary M.
Once again. Wonderful experience. The team here works with precision, efficiency and care.
No pain and quality work. Special thanks to Claudia and Dr.Tat. Shout-out to the front desk and the whole team. My favorite Dentist to date. 💯
Elizabeth M.
Leaving this review for my husband! I just want to say thank you & show our gratitude to all the staff here at DE downtown. The staff is amazing from walking in to checking in, always courteous and great customer service! Dr Jen has been so wonderful helping my husband with all his dental work, when he first arrived he was in so much pain, he’s been pain free for months!!! Just wanted to say thank you so much, the switch from Point Loma to downtown has been phenomenal we were a little skeptic at first due to location but the difference is uncanny! We will never leave downtown location! Thank you to all the staff
Robby-Rob
The dentists at this office are great . However the staff here has attitude and I once had an issue with them over billing me . I am the one who caught the error and when I tried to explain to them I was not paying it became almost an argument. After calling my insurance I had to prove they made a mistake . Close to a year later the issue was fixed . I figured I’ll let that error go and not hold a drudge against the office errors happen.

Today I was driving by the office and I decided to stop and book a cleaning in person . I was told they did. It have any on a Tuesday or it was way out and that I should call the office on the phone . I was like I am here now to make an appointment? I walked out and I am going to another dentist.

The office called me and they fixed the issue , so I am 100% satisfied . They were extremely polite and Koriana went out of her way to make things right . I also may have acted rude to them which was bad thing.. I apologized and we are both happy now
Lisa B.
Marwa was fantastic
Blanco B.
Today was my Deep Cleaning visit with Dental Express. Because I suffer from extreme anxiety, I almost did not want to go because of the numbing chemicals used, but I am glad I went ahead with the visit and ride off my anxiety. Well, I survived the fear of medicine going into my body all because of how informative SAUL was and how calm and collected he was during the entire procedure. He is a great conversationalist and he makes you feel at ease and pain free. Can't wait for my next visit with Dental Express staff.
BELLE F.
I am very pleased with your work. Thank you for your competence and professionalism.
Deanna K.
Alfred’s back!!!! Happy first day back!!
The whole Santee staff is pretty awesome!
They really connect with my wife and I, making it so much easier to come in!
rikardo J.
Had a great experience for my cleaning with marwa no discomfort with is amazing
chris M.
Dr. Davis is one of the best dentist I have ever seen. I have years of seeing different dentist for different procedures and because of him I am able to smile with confidence again and my ACTUAL oral health has greatly improved and still improving. Dr. Davis repaired multiple crowns after a different dental practice performed faulty crown deliveries. Yes having a great smile is important but having exceptional oral health as a direct result of the proper treatment by a dentist far exceeds all else. The office staff is good and by good I mean they know what they are doing, all you have to do is ask for what you need and they will accommodate. This comes as a beautiful surprise with a hectic work schedule, meetings, kids…. Life. Thank you Dr. Davis, I truly am grateful and you’re an amazing dentist.
Rodrigo D.
Outstanding service! Dr. Tat and Claudia were an amazing team that made sure I was comfortable and relaxed throughout my procedure. Truly a wonderful experience.

Thank you
Robert A.
This place is awesome, and Dr. Casey is just incredibly fast and efficient with his work.
Myrna R.
I love to come to this location, everyone here are super nice and very helpful and professional! They always make me feel secure and excited to be here! Especially because I was terrified , getting work on my teeth, but not anymore, I also bring my children they always get taking care of , thanks to the crew at w Point Loma dental express for your work , and giving us the great dental experience! 😬
marlon “Fleato” S.
I had been going to the community clinic for my dental work as I did not have any kind of insurance, but I stopped going there due to some horrible experiences during the 9 visits in a single year!
For that very reason I avoided the dentist for a year and a half. I chose Dental Express over Western Dental and so far, I have been completely satisfied.
I chose the Escondido location as well as the dentist of my choosing. Their website is very useful and has bios on all the dentists. I am a military Veteran so naturally I picked Dr. Jaime Ferguson as he also is a Veteran {Navy 10 yrs.}
The ENTIRE staff was kind and showed me more compassion than I expected {they even greet you by name as soon as you walk through the door!!} and the office manager even convinced me to stay and give it a try as I had already made up my mind that I was going to leave because I thought I needed complete sedation to have 7 cavities filled. Turns out it was the correct decision. Tomorow I will be having an exam for 2 crowns. I love this place!!!
Keri I.
Today I went to Dental express to have a crown build up. Frankie the assistant was fabulous. He explained everything he was doing. He worked great with the dentist. I was very impressed with his knowledge and Skills. I own a small Business in Santee and will be referring to This Dentist. Great job.
Natasha Marie D.
Deandra, Andrea, Claudia, Dr. Ashmore, and Dr. Davis Do are amazing. They kept me relaxed and comforted. I’ve been going here nearly ten years. Very grateful for this clinic and the entire staff.
Jeanette C.
I will miss everyone at Dental Express in Santee. I have to move to Oceanside. Dr. Jerry my dentist is great. It is like not even getting anything done as you don't feel anything and he is fast and does excellent work. I never had crowns before and knew nothing about them but it was a ease with Dr. Jerry. I will add that I am a nervous person and they could ease my mind about anything that was done to my teeth.

The office staff is wonderful and Karina is a sweetheart. They have done so much for me and I will never forget them. I am new to a big city like San Diego. They are very welcoming and I feel tears coming now.
Jess P
Great place for all your dental needs. Found them because I broke a tooth and saw they do same day emergency needs. Came in and got it fixed. Dr. James and Nereus are the best!! Everyone is super friendly here. I highly recommend them!!
Kirebe27
Staff was so much fun, and so gentle with me! Teeth came out looking cleaner than ever. I’m so glad I switched to dental express! Getting an appointment here is always so so easy and no long waits what so ever.
Sean G.
Very friendly staff!! Very informative, got a great cleaning experience. Donna at the front desk was awesome and very helpful!
Blanco B.
Dental Express has made me feel more confident about myself when it comes to not hiding my smile; especially as a guy!
Paola is an awesome person to see when I go for a follow up. She is very loyal to you as a patient. She is a great conversationalist and a great reminder to always be positive about yourself and in life.
Christina is another great person to see because she is very happy to make your smile even brighter. She is a very cheerful person if you guess the flavor floraide given to you after your teeth are clean.
My Doctor, she is keeping my smile full of smiles.
Go Dental Express!!!
Michael J.
Great Dentist always takes care of me and any particular reason I may have, also very nice and professional.
Missy C.
Awesome Team! Thank you guys for all of your understanding and support, donna is wonderful and doctor Jen is amazing! I love the office it's the most beautiful dental office I've ever seen...thumbs up

Have you been to this dentist? Just come here and say hi. They're that nice. There's no better dentist in San Diego County for that matter in the western world then The Dental Express whether you are in pain and you need to walk in or whether you want to schedule a routine cleanup. This is where you need to come!

They always take care of me and make me feel comfortable at Dental Express. I'm prone to dental problems in pregnancy and ive never hesitated to see them. Dr. Jamie was fantastic and was thorough after a bad infection, will be going to him for future needs.
Shanna W.
All of the staff at Dental Express in Point Loma are awesome.... however a HUGE shout out to Dr. Park, Mr. Allen, Ms. Rochelle and Ms. Brianna. These four individuals were courteous, kind, efficient and above all AMAZING! I am so very glad I have found an outstanding dentist!

Once again.... wonderful visit at this Dental Express. I can't sing enough praises for Dr. Park and Allen!
Angie G.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time here from the moment I walked in. It was quite an experience that people should definitely get because they also have good dental workers such as Yousif! Normally, I dread the x-rays because of the awful plastic plates they put to take the picture anyways it was absolutely awesome! thank you Kim . Also, you made it very fine and enjoyable along with Dr. Parks. I cannot wait to return in the future.
Nevaeh S.
Very kind people !! They take medicaid which is sooooo appreciated ! Love this place and i will be back regularly

Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Dr. Hoang is so gentle, warm and thorough. All the staff treats you special and always welcomes you back...
Kathleen K.
I came into Dental Express this morning to get a partial because I haven’t been able to smile in years. Dr. Jamie and the friendly hygienists went above and beyond to make me comfortable. They were fast and courteous and had a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. I was told within a few months, I would have partials, so I would be able to smile again. I am very excited. Thank you so much, Dental Express!
Raphaelle H.
Just had a 19 teeth extraction followed by dentures and i am amazed at how well it went. The procedure was quick and with the help of just one pill I felt no pain! It did get painful after a few days and I was able to be seen without an appointment and a short waiting period. Every time the staff has been really nice and welcoming, caring and very professional. Both dentist are great! Highly recommend this place.
Anna M
My parents have been patients of Dental Express downtown for several years. The office staff are always accommdating and provide good service. Most recently, Dr. Jennifer placed a crown for my father and he is very happy with the results.

I had the best time at the clinic today! Kim, my favorite hygienist, was so gentle with my teeth during my cleaning. Her assistant, Yousif, was amazing too! He explained everything in detail and the X-rays were a breeze. If you're ever in need of a cleaning, I highly suggest seeing Kim. She is such a sweetheart and you'll leave with a smile on your face!
Khamroz B.
It’s great dental clinic. The staff very polite and professional. Dr. Casey did my tooth root canal within 10-12 minutes. It was pretty fast and painless. A special gratitude to Paula, she is the best dental assistant I have ever had. Makes me laugh every time I visit this clinic. Overall, very satisfied with their service and professionalism.
Tiffany J.
Dr Jen, Christina and Aiden is the dream team. Excellent customer service, comfort level and great cleaning.

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.
Jazz G
Staff is nice and friendly!
Janet G.
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!
nadir E.
Great Dental practice ! I had the pleasure of working with Rakenya , the team and Dentist to get everything started. I have been putting my teeth off for a while but decided it was finally time. They started with the exam and cleaning to get an idea of what we are working with but what stood out to me vs other practices is how they broke everything down beautifully and understandable. I have so far had a cleaning and multiple fillings done and the quality of work is just impeccable ! Highly recommend !!!
Larissa P.
Only came for cleaning, but had a great experience!
Kirk C.
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.

Revel H.
I had a great experience. The whole staff was very professional and checked on me periodically to make sure I wasn’t in any pain during the process. The Smalltalk made me feel comfortable in a sense where I didn’t feel like I was just a patient but working with people who truly loved their career. Thanks again and keep up the excellent work.
Rob H.
This office is clean, respectful, well organized. Excellent care and consideration here. Hopefully they don't leave like Lolita's taco shop did next door 🤞

Dr. Casey is a kind and compassionate human being and an amazing dentist! I’ve been putting off the dentist for 4 years and finally went for a wisdom tooth extraction and he answered all my questions, not once got annoyed with me, and got my tooth out in under a minute. I encourage anyone with a fear of the dentist to see Dr. Casey, you won’t regret it:)

Sarah Duey B.
I have been to many dentists as I have sensitive teeth and gums and need highly attuned care. You'd be surprised how many unprofessional people are practicing with a license. When you find a real dentist, it's like winning the lottery these days. After an emergency root canal, care from bruxism/stress fracture and a bad dental experience during the pandemic, I am in greatly improved health due to Dr. Jay Lopp. I really can't thank him enough and his wonderful staff, front admin and hygienists, real people with real results, you guys rock!
Anthony J.
I would highly recommend this dentist office because they were very kind and they have an impeccable staff service. Daisy and Dr.Lopp were very nice and incredibly helpful. Daisy gave details about everything that was going on and was super communicative with me throughout the whole teeth cleaning process! Everyone in the office was very patient and had good way of communicating with people.
Janice B.
Me and my son went in there for the first time. Everyone that works there are above and beyond wonderful. Very happy with the level of kindness and professionalism and of course their dentist Dr. Loop. I and my family are in good hands. Thank you.
Mr Free P.
Best Experience ever Started with Quiana getting me in the same day she is the sweetest and knowledgeable person .I was in so much pain Dr.Lopp is the first Dentist that gave me an injection and I did not feel one thing.I will be send my friends and family to him and finishing all treatment that he recommended…..Team Dr.Lopp

They are absolutely AMAZING! Kind, diligent, respectful. They know what they are doing, they do it in a completely professional manner. I wholly recommend them. They take denti-cal, which is a major upside for me.

If I could give 6 stars, I would, that is how truly outstanding this team and location is.
PPP J
Great staff! They made everything very easy and quick. Always looking forward to coming back.

If I can add 5 more stars , I would do it right away. They are well Trained professional with amazing humble integrity and very welcoming and comforting. I've work in the field , but seeing how they operate in a very sufficient way was amazing.. as the patient they provided me with an amazing quality service especially the dentist. Honest and intellectual have an amazing conches .. the treatment was a breeze, no pain no gain right. Oh and they give out cute shirts which I wore today and spread the love and bought there amazing whitening in home system kit. The results is outstanding. They accept everyone and warm hearted, regardless if you are a drunk mess coming from an event or some rave happening. They are just call and walk away to repair Those broken tooth that everyone in the generation is using to removed bottle caps with their teeth! Not a good idea folks? Stop by here and get your comprehensive exam within amazing beautiful staff

Anyways should out to this dental express you're final destination to a great and healthier smile. Oh and buy there awesome whitening kit!

Love and peace

Very nice to teenagers!!!! Teenage girls are a challenge sometimes especially when you’ve done everything to have them be nice and polite to it. They still learn “snobbish” behavior..... those that have daughters understand. I nip that in the butt when I see it.
The staff was friendly, supportive, understanding, and always maintained professionalism.

Highly recommend Dental Express!! My wife needed an emergency wisdom tooth extraction because she was in so much pain, not only did they get her in within 4hrs, they also took amazing care of her. Dr. Jamie and his assistant Lindsey were amazing, and comforting! Rachel at the front was a doll and so so helpful, Shannon, and Whitney were also very friendly! Will definitely be returning to this location for all my future dental needs! Thanks you guys!!

I hadn't been to a dentist in 7 years, but when I walked into the Point Loma office I was immediately put at ease. The office is friendly and professional. I'm going back next week for a cleaning and discussion on a crown. The office is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and a short walk from my home. I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment and will have more to say next week.

Dr. Marty at Dental express in Santee is Amazing!! Going to the dentist has always been my biggest fear & something that I've put off. My daughter had taken my grand daughters in for a check up & to have some work done & they both came home so happy & had such a positive experience at their new dentist! So I figured if they were brave enough to go so should I! I'm so happy I did🙂 Dr. Marty is definitely the best dentist I've been to!! If you need a great dentist Dental express in Santee is for sure the best!

I've gone a few times this month because I needed quite a bit of work done, I haven't been to the dentist in at least 6 years. Dr. Marty was very friendly and explained everything and made sure I was comfortable and not in pain. The nurses were also very nice, and the desk staff as well. I will keep going to this dentist, and I recommend them. They also worked on my 6 year olds teeth and treated her very well, they kept her comfortable, and had patience with her. They are also very fast, the few times that I've gone I've been out in about an hour. Highly recommend.

As a first time client, I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Marty. He made sure to explain in depth the services he would provide for me and is seeking out a treatment plan specifically for me.

Def a nice dental office which was refreshing compared to the last office I visited... The man up front was super friendly and helpful, HOWEVER when I visited there it was a dental emergency and I was in a lot of pain... So my issue is this... I need a root canal on a tooth in the back of my mouth, the tooth is pretty much gone already. The young lady dentist came in and knowing Im on state insurance, instead of recommending the extraction of the tooth which is covered 100% by my ins. And would also take me out of pain. What does she do? Pretends to be concerned with saving my non existent tooth and the crown requires a 900$ co pay... And no thank you on the ibuprofen, been eating enough of those lately... So all in all its a very nice dental office and the guy up front was straight forward with me so after waiting in pain I got antibiotics and an appt to extract... Some dentists need to understand the pain and the overall goal for the patient. Got a free t shirt and loved the train!
