Jolla Village Smiles Dentistry & Implants This was my second appointment at Jolla Village Smiles Dentistry & Implants, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed—especially with the dentist. My initial consultation was fantastic, and while my cleaning appointment had a few minor equipment hiccups, I completely understood, having worked in dentistry for over 20 years. The hygienist handled the situation well, and we laughed it off together. As for Dr. Alvarado, I was pleasantly surprised by his expertise and the level of detail he provided when explaining my procedure. He thoroughly educated me on the longevity and risks of older silver fillings, explaining how they can fail over time and lead to decay underneath. Even with my experience in the dental field, I had never fully understood how decay presents itself on an X-ray. He took the time to walk me through it, and I left feeling not just educated but truly well-informed about my oral health. Additionally, he demonstrated the proper way to floss, correcting my overly aggressive technique. I appreciated his patience and willingness to teach rather than simply treat. The assistant who was responsible for making the temporary crown was also fantastic. He not only showed me the provisional crown but listened to my concerns about an area on the temp that was missing a little portion in the back part of my tooth, which is the area where the dentist exposed the root. I was overly concerned about that area and wanted to make sure that the temp covered the tooth completely, and without hesitation, he made a new one that fit around the tooth perfectly, saving me from potential discomfort before my permanent crown is placed. I’m grateful for his attention to detail and willingness to accommodate my request. Usually it wouldn’t matter about such a small area, but since I knew that area is where I felt the most sensitivity, so thank you sir! Every team member I interacted with was exceptional—from the assistant to the treatment coordinator, who clearly explained my treatment plan and financing options. The entire experience exceeded my high expectations for a dental office. Would I recommend Jolla Village Smiles Dentistry & Implants? Absolutely! If you value quality dental care, expertise, and a staff that genuinely listens and cares, this is the place to go. Kudos to the entire team for their outstanding service!
