- OHOwen HarrisApr 6, 20264.0I was cared for in very professional and courteous manner.
- BCBill CoxMar 31, 20265.0I’m the biggest baby there is with anything to do with going to the dentist. They were super sympathetic and considerate to my phobia and did everything they could to be gentle with me to get through it.
- TRTaylor RatzMar 19, 20265.0I had a genuinely great experience with Gentle Dental in Vista and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, professional dental care. After receiving an extremely high quote and questionable treatment plan elsewhere, I came here for a second opinion—and I’m so glad I did. The team at Gentle Dental was transparent, thorough, and clearly focused on what was actually best for my husband’s health. They identified an infection in a previous root canal and took it seriously, including prescribing antibiotics before treatment to properly address it. What really stood out was their integrity. The cost they quoted was about a quarter of what we were told at another office, without sacrificing quality of care. They took the time to explain everything, answer our questions, and made us feel confident in the treatment plan. The office was efficient, the staff was kind and professional, and we didn’t feel rushed or pressured at any point. It’s such a relief to find a dental practice that is both trustworthy and reasonably priced. If you’re looking for a dentist who prioritizes patient care, transparency, and fair pricing, Gentle Dental in Vista is an excellent choice.
- RDrobert dunkerMar 18, 20264.0Courteous & personable office staff. Dentist and Hygienist I saw were thorough, gentle and explained everything clearly. This was my first visit and will return to have some work done soon.
- RARocky AboyMar 9, 20264.0I had an appointment yesterday, Wednesday, March 25, 2026, at 2:00 pm. I waited until 3:05 pm before I was called in, then sat in the dental chair for another 10-15 minutes. Finally, the dentist arrived to examine my teeth. The doctor conducted the exam expertly, and I was very grateful for his professionalism. I'm hoping that the next visit will have a shorter wait time!
