Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics - Encinitas, California

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry! From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, we felt like family. The staff is absolutely lovely, and you can tell they truly care about their young patients. The kids were immediately drawn to all the fun activities they offer, like building castles, puzzles, books, and even a TV in the ceiling to keep them entertained while they get their teeth cleaned. It’s such a thoughtful touch, and my kids loved wearing their sunglasses and watching their favorite shows during the process.

The doctors, dentists, and assistants are incredibly friendly and patient, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable for both the kids and me. Honestly, if it weren’t for my insurance situation, I would totally become a patient here myself! It’s clear that this place is all about making children feel comfortable and confident at the dentist.

My son came in with a chipped tooth, and my daughter had a growing adult tooth behind two baby teeth. They took such amazing care of them, and I’m so grateful for the attention and expertise they provided. My kids hadn’t had any previous dental work, and I couldn't be happier with how everything went. I will definitely be making Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry our go-to for the long haul. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic pediatric dentist!

We love Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry!!! The service they provide is top tier! They deserve a gold medal or trophy for how awesome they are! My daughter loves coming here and we have not had the best luck with dentists in the past but their service, knowledge, and care is the absolute best. We highly recommend bringing your little ones here! Everyone is fantastic! Thank you for being a safe place for my daughter and I. We are so happy we found the best dentist office!!! 💓

What a lovely experience. I was initially hesitant to take my four year old autistic son to the practice because he’s not used to a new place. As soon as he walked in, he felt almost right at home in the waiting area. I had my two year old daughter wait in the area while I took my son inside as she played with all the toys to keep herself busy without mom being with her constantly. The dentist took his time with Noah, played with him a bit and then started cleaning his teeth. Super friendly staff, willing to make both kids comfortable and happy. Would highly recommend bringing your child here!

So so glad that Laura answered the phone when I was called the office about our daughter taking a bad fall that hurt her teeth and mouth. She had me email photos to her so she could have the dentist gauge the severity of the damage. Laura called back within 30 minutes and told us to come in and they would squeeze us in right away. The whole team got us taken care of comfortably without any tears from my 3 yr old. Baby brother even got to play with toys in the waiting room so he was entertained. Would recommend this office to all friends. Such a good experience that I have never witnessed before in pediatric dentistry! Everyone left with a toy—they think of it all

We love everyone at Encinitas Pediatric Dentistry and Ortho. I can’t say enough good things. Our appointments are always called on-time, scheduling is pretty painless, and again- everyone at the office is so kind. Our kids come here for both dental and ortho and we are so happy!

Thank you Dr Avi and staff especially Shannon! You are the best! Hope, 5 yr old has been coming here since she was 2 or 3 and every time she comes in it’s so fun and today was her first time doing X-rays and usually she’s scared but Dr was so sweet and she got her teeth cleaned and had the best time! Best pediatric dentist in San Diego! I can’t wait to go myself! Cool TVs, best fun office with toys!

My 9 yo daughter just began going to this office and had her first cleaning and x-rays yesterday, and her first treatment today. The front of house staff are wonderful from start to finish which shows they are happy to work there. The doctors and their assistants that we have met so far have been amazing. My daughter is so happy that we found the new “perfect” dentist office right down the street from home. She felt very comfortable and cared for today and they did a beautiful job on her treatment. She’s is looking forward to going back.
