Clairemont Smiles Dentistry and Orthodontics

No one wants to get a root canal, including me. But if you have to get one, Gabriel and Dr. Chou are a top notch team to take care of it! Awesome work, fast and efficient, kind, funny. Best possible experience and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Also, if you are looking for a general dentist, Dr. Lauren Ho is the BEST! She’s so kind, great at her job and makes her patients feel at ease. I never mind having to come in to see her, and she alway takes great care of me. Finally, the office staff is wonderful too. They always explain things clearly, they are accurate with all the billing, and create the most welcoming environment when you walk in to the office. I absolutely LOVE Clairemont Smiles :)

I scheduled an emergency service for the same day because I had broken my tooth next to my front teeth smh. I read the reviews after I booked my appointment and had doubts lol but it was New Year’s Eve and needed to get my tooth fixed asap. Let me just say, from start to finish I had an amazing experience with Clairemont Smiles Dentistry. I booked my appointment online for 3:30, they called me in around 12pm to come in case I needed work done. I was there for almost 3 hours, and in that entire appointment they were able to do my X-rays, impression, extraction, and a temporary bridge. I LEFT THAT APPOINTMENT 10000% satisfied! The entire staff had me laughing my whole appointment, just the vibes and conversations makes the environment and experience more comfortable. Dr Alvarado did an AMAZ

I recently went here for an emergency dental appointment after cracking my tooth and being away from my primary dentist. Dr. Ho did an amazing job!!! Not only was she able to tell me what caused my cracked tooth, but she was able to put in a crown the same day and did whatever would help me feel comfortable during my visit as I don’t have great experiences with the dentist typically. This was a great visit and she fixed me right up the day before thanksgiving so I can enjoy the holidays. Definitely recommend this place and Dr. Ho!

I needed a new dentist after seeing my previous dentist for more than 20 years. I noticed the Clairemont Smiles office a few years ago, and I’m incredibly glad I gave them a try. The staff are always friendly and professional, and my care—from basic cleaning to specialty crowns—has been top-notch. If you’re looking for a new dentist (or even if you’re not), Clairemont Smiles is worth considering as your top choice.

Staff and assistants, such as Julissa, are very kind and know what they're doing. I'm not a huge fan of the orthodontist, Dr. Haidar, that did my braces. He warned me to do invisalign instead of braces because I have a lot of crowns, but they forced me to get a bunch of work done (including a few crowns) before I got braces. It's almost like they were trying to make me pay more down the line on purpose. Then after I got the braces, a bracket would pop off every 2 weeks for 1.5 months. When I came in to get it fixed, he would make rude and unnecessary csomments when I was in the chair and couldn't talk back to him due to my mouth being propped open. After 2 months, the brackets stopped popping off... coincidence? **I would advise others to see someone else to get their braces done if you wa
