**SIX STAR NOTEWORTHY REVIEW!!!!!!

It was a pleasure to visit the Dentistry Collective again!!!!!!

I appreciate how nicely I was checked in by Maritiza. She was the first person that I encountered upon my arrival. It was immediately clear that she is a perfect example of all the top talent here!!!!!!

I also appreciate the wonderful assistance of Kearah and Natalia. Both were accomplished to the last absolute meticulous detail!!!!!!

I also thank Candice, Victoria and Teaghan for everything they do behind the scenes that keep things running flawlessly. A great dental practice with an awesome experience every time!!!!!!

I love the perfect remodel/expansion/masterpiece and especially those blue suede chairs in the "Graceland" lounge!!!!!!
(see photos)

W.O.W.!!!!!!

The Dentistry Collective is the absolute best dental practice, bar none!!!!!!

I again give the Dentistry Collective my very highest recommendations!!!!!!

All reflect notably upon the Dentistry Collective!!!!!!

Thanks!!!!!!

Went to have my crown looked at as it felt chipped along one edge and was irritating my tongue. I thought that it had a 5 years guarantee but apparently it’s only one year and I ended up paying for an office visit which I wasn’t expecting (I pay out of pocket).

The office manager offered me one of their membership packages because of the misunderstanding which includes 2 cleanings a year amongst other great benefits, which is more than I paid for the office visit - they do take care of their patients and the staff and Dr Garofolo are all amazing.

I love that they can do your crown at the same office visit with their high-tech 3-D equipment and I love the concierge treatment including their comfortable, spacious. appealing reception area that has water, coffee and tea available while you wait (you’ll have to go in early as they are always right on time getting you in!)

I was on vacation in San Diego when my dental bridge fell out. I picked The Dentistry Collective from a Google search of Dentists near me. I am so happy I chose them.
They were able to get me in that day. Everyone was so wonderful. I was in an absolute panic thinking I would have to spend the rest if my vacation without 3 of my front teeth! Dr. Garofolo was so very kind. He was able to cement the bridge back in place, and he explained my different options for a more permanent solution and answered all my questions. They treated me with kindness and respect. I can't thank them enough for getting me in to their office as quick as they did. I'm now back home and seeing my own dentist. Thank you Dr. Garofolo and Linda and everyone else who works at The Dentistry Collective for everything you did! If I lived in San Diego I would certainly choose them as my Dentist!
I even got a goodies bag on my way out!
You guys are the best!

I treat my dentist like I do my barber (when I had enough hair to cut): When I find a good one (and they are rare), they become my go-to for life.

With that being said, I now have a dentist for life. I used that analogy mainly because there's a unique confidence that you should feel when getting a fresh cut, and I felt that kind of confidence after just one visit with The Dentistry Collective. Everyone - from the reception desk to the procedure chair, do an outstanding job, and are professional and facilitating beyond necessity.

I simply cannot recommend or compliment them enough 💯.

Staff: professional, polite, courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, attentive to my comfort, and provides clear explanations and where they are the process (new patient intake, oral health baseline examination, and cleaning)
Location: plenty of parking, spacious offices, newly refurbished, welcoming and cozy without clutter, lots of windows, including the lab, and can't beat the patients' view to the park and pond.
Treatment: modern tools of the trade, including cordless X-ray gun, CT machine, and wired cleaning tools (cleaning has never been this fast), oh, and love the laser gun treatment. This will make my own oral health maintenance more satisfying seeing the gum healing faster. (Did I mention they have their own lab making crown treatment a one-day deal?!. Oh yeah.)
Cons: open M-F 0700-1600 or 0800-1700, no Saturday. A bit more juggling when working full time with kids in school.
I'm re-establishing my family with them, after my previous dentist relocated further south making driving to appointments a lot more challenging. I'm loving my first visit and will make the schedule work. Totally worth it.

Great modern office and super friendly staff. They do the most to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and informed about what they are doing and how much everything will cost. If you’re in the area and looking for a new dentist, you should definitely give them try.

I have been to The Dentistry Collective for ~3 years now. I am happy with the services they provide. I have had many different dental hygienist helped me during that time, but in my most recent visit (August 2024), Maggie K helped clean my teeth and she is wonderful! She provides me with detailed info and very useful recommendations, and addresses my questions/concerns very clearly. She is very professional and courteous. I will ask for her again in future bookings.

Horrible service, over charged for one chip tooth fix and they left several sharp pieces of
composite resin that get my floss caught or ripped.
After paying almost $400 and all the extra unneeded procedures they recommended and I denied.
They later billed me and continued to harass by email, text message and phone calls for $14 more for services that I never requested or received.
Sending notices that I will be sent to collections for $14 of services I never received.
Would never wish this kind of harassment on my worst enemy.
Ridiculous!!!
Would not recommend. Should have just waited to see my dentist back home.
