Dental Express

Okay. Let's start with the obvious.

THERE'S A TRAIN!!!

Every piece of grown man child in me just melted with awe and fascination.

I'm here to have a tooth pulled and it's not gonna be pretty. The train helps.

I walked into this office expecting to see kiddy toys all over the place because there is a big train outside adverting kid friendly. I was under the impression that it was predisposed to kids. But my tooth is killing me and they're open on Fridays.

I walk in to find a very adult waiting room. Not just adult, but for fancy. I thought to myself...

"My insurance is barely gonna scratch the surface of what this is gonna cost."

The girls at reception were very nice and professional. The music is 80's pop so another fine feature. I'm all about the 80's.

My dentist is Asian. I don't bring that up because of anything racial like fewer Asian dentists or surprises to see an Asian dentist or because Asians are better or anything like that.

I bring it up because he was hot.

He took my concerns about the initial invasion into my mouth with a needle to heart and did his best to limit the pain.

That shit still hurt though. Unless I'm already unconscious, a needle in my gums is still the worst.

The extraction didn't hurt, but it was still traumatic,

The cracking, the pressure,the.. the... the whole process.... just not my favorite thing to have done.

Then he starts giving me instructions on after care while in still in shock from the nightmarish event I just went through....

Now he did as great if a job as could be done. The experience was as mild as any dentist could make it.

Unfortunately that did nothing for the trauma I put myself through waiting for the moment where the numbing shots stopped working.

All in all, there was the train. Every 10 minutes or so it came through the hole in the wall and made it better.

Went in for an appointment, The most important thing that anybody could want is to not be an extreme pain and you want a caring dentist, I got the opposite here, I was an insane excruciating pain during the procedure and the dentist was so cocky, He Never remedied the situation, PAIN , he should not be working anymore/ his name is Dr Ashmore (He is the redhead) .......No No No.

I was absolutely dreading to have my molar pulled for years. The constant pain was finally getting the best of me. I finally decided to arrange the extraction with Dental Express on Point Loma Blvd.
I will say, DR. DAVIS DO D.D.S. and his staff were very pleasant and professional to work with. He was very communicative and efficient. Thank you for making me comfortable during this procedure and as painless as possible!

I am not a person who enjoys going to the dentist like some folks. I prefer eating gummy candy and pretending all is right with the world. After moving to San Diego I took some time to find a new dentist. Eventually I took the recommendation of my husband. He said this place was quick and efficient. I do agree.

My cap had fallen out so I was able to call and make an appt quickly. Filled out appropriate paperwork via iPad. I got my first set of X-rays via the machine that drops down over your head and rotated. I had only seen this before in Singapore so pretty cool. Then I had to do a few specific ones in the chair. Not as horrible as I remember. I did not choke to death nor drool too much and I think that has a lot to do with how you are being handled.

Everyone working here is very friendly. I got a cleaning and my cap re-glued in good time. The chair was comfy. They gave me the tinted safety glasses. Price was great with my insurance.

My only regret is not seeing that train go around!

I have been genetically "gifted" with horrible teeth and have cavities in almost all of them (that I have left). Recently I visited at least 4 dentists and specialists after tremendous pain that I ended up being hospitalized for. None of the dentists/oral surgeons wanted to treat me. I was finally referred to Dental Express in Santee. Dr. Jerry Hernandez is wonderful. I need 5 extractions including a wisdom tooth, a complex root canal, bone grafts, crowns and partial implants and Dr. Hernandez can do All of it! He and his staff are kind, listen to all of your concerns and they're extremely professional. Their office is conveniently located, beautiful and clean and they have all state of the art equipment. I just wish I found them sooner! Definitely going to have my entire family use this dentist. Obviously highly recommended! 5 stars.

So my dentist retired and I was back out in the world search for "the one". The two most important doctors to me are 1. my dentist 2. my gynecologist. Both are responsible for working with very important parts of my body. Like many, I searched and searched and searched some more. I decided finally to google dentist open Saturdays and called around. The universe must have aligned the stars in my favor as I had the wonderful opportunity of speaking with Whitney, office manager. I had a traumatic accident as a child. I explained my fear and what was currently recommended. I learned during the call that the dentists here do it all! There was no need to go to a root canal specialist, the doctors do this in house! Whitney's confidence in the team of doctors is what sold me.I came in on a Saturday for a cleaning and met the most wonderful staff and Dr. Davis. Dr. Davis took a look and told me I needed less work then prior dentists and no root canals were needed. The honesty, integrity and old school bedside manner and the amazing staff! I can't express how thankful I am for finding this amazing team.

I started coming here in 2022 after I had my daughter and was concerned about my overall rental health. I had neglected my teeth for longer than I care to mention and had a huge fear of dentists from my childhood. I came in with a huge hole in my tooth and pain, they did x-rays and explained where my dental health was and a plan to get my teeth in healthy condition... I was nervous but everyone there reassured me and explained things one step at a time, as well as made sure I was comfortable through my procedures. I no longer fear the dentist and actually look forward to appointments because I know I'm in great hands! My mouth has never felt healthier and I feel proud to smile which is something I've struggled with for years! an added bonus is they also specialize in pediatric dentistry so my daughter also gets seen here and I feel confident that she will grow up with a beautiful, healthy smile and a trust in dentists that I wish I had growing up.
Thank you so much for the care you take and also for not making me feel judged.

Interproximal reduction was done (shaving of my tooth) so that it would "move" with my retainer while using Smile Correct/Reveal. I have had a gap made by that dentist and it has not closed. Literally go to any dentist BUT here.

I've never written a review before but I had to for this office because Davis is the best. I've always had dental extreme anxiety and terrible experiences going to the dentist but Davis makes me feel incredibly safe and taken care of. I hope I never have to move so I can stay going to this office! I'm incredibly grateful I've found this place, all of the employees are kind and helpful. I just had an extraction/ bone graft/ implant done yesterday and somehow they made it almost even a pleasant experience. Words can't express how kind and caring this team is!

The reception area is a nice contrast to the cheesy exterior. A clean and bright office. The "express" was not actualized in the best manner. It was the quickest and least detailed cleaning I ever had. Also, the dentist gave me a suggested procedure, which was not the same regiment of care I got from different dental providers before and after this site. Wise to get second and third opinions when available.
