“I have been going to SD Smile Pros since 2008 as an adult getting Invisalign. I can say that the service here has been fantastic since then. They are so helpful and patient. I now have 3 kids and they all come here. Two of my kiddos were very scared of the dentist and the staff was also patient and kind to them. They love it now! We drive 25 min for them to all get their orthodontics and dental work done here. The staff is the nicest which is not common these days!”
Gabby
“I went there for Invisalign and am done three months ahead of schedule. The doctor knows his job and explained everything very clearly. The finance office helped me work out a payment plan that was in my budget. The dental technicians are very competent and very kind. The front desk is warm and welcoming, and on your way out, they give you a lovely warm chocolate chip cookie, so what’s not to love? Extremely happy with my results.”

“My kids had a lot of fear about the dentist and Dr Hayes and the team made them feel so comfortable and relaxed. I’m so happy to finally go to the dentist without a big ordeal! They do excellent work and their team functions like a well oiled machine. So efficient, so friendly, and the highest quality work. Highly recommend!”
Rebekah
“This place is wonderful. Everything you could want in a pediatric dentists office! They are amazing at making my littles feel comfortable during their exams and procedures. I have been to other pediatric dentist offices where they barely do anything beyond brushing the kiddo's teeth. At San Diego Smile Pros they thoroughly clean and examine my kids' teeth in a gentle way that makes my kids feel super comfortable. Thank you!”
Tova
“We had the best experience here! My two year old was a little apprehensive for her first dentist visit, but her fears were assuaged with fun songs, princess stickers, colorful toothpaste, and a gentle hand from Chantal! I am so glad her first dentist visit went well and look forward to her developing a lifetime of good oral hygiene!”
