Padre Dental Group - San Diego, California

I've been coming here for 8 years now, and I won't go anywhere else. The office is comfortable, and they do their best to make you feel welcome. They don't keep you waiting a long time in the waiting area. Dr. Val is kind, a good listener, and patient. Jennifer is the only hygienist who has been able to clean my teeth without causing agonizing pain. They seem like they really do care about helping you have the healthiest teeth possible. Recommended.

Been coming to this practice for well over ten years. Kind doctor team with really friendly staff, I have never looked back. The hygienists are gentle yet thorough, and over the years the quality of this office has only gone up.

If you are looking for a dentist in San Diego I highly recommended Padre dental and Dr.Val and Dr.Preston.

My coworker recommended this clinic to me after I had a few unpleasant experiences with dentists. I can confidently say that switching my dental care to this clinic was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Dr. Preston and the entire staff greet you with warm smiles and create a welcoming atmosphere in the clinic, and immediately make you feel you are in good hands.

Dr. Preston not only listens your concerns but also explains the proposed treatment plan very clearly. He takes the time to explain each step of the process, and severity of my each individual cavities patiently. It's a rare experience for me to feel so assured and in good hands when talking to a doctor/dentist. Finally I felt that my health is the priority for the clinic, and not maximizing the treatment plan and insurance limit.

After a long search for good dental care, I'm incredibly pleased to have found a doctor and clinic I can wholeheartedly trust.

I've had a great experience with Dr. Val and Dr. Preston. Their team is professional. Their office is in a hospital grade building. I am picky about my dental care. I love that they will refer out when they realize a dental situation is beyond their scope. I came to them when two crowns were hurting after a year. Dr. Val was able to work on the crown and get the bit perfect and allieviated all my pain. That was after two other dentists tried unsuccessfully.

Been a patient for 9 years and have always had excellent work done for a reasonable price. They treat everyone like a valued patient, clearly explain treatment options and have worked with me to keep my teeth their best. I've had fillings, periodontal maintenance, a tooth pulled, crowns, a mouth guard made and all the work I've had done was outstanding. When I needed a referral for an implant they gave me a great recommendation and I was very happy with their work also. I can honestly recommend them to everyone based upon my years of experience.

Outstanding, caring, professional dental care. I have been going to Padre Dental for over 6 years and I could not be happier. The front desk smooths the way with appointments, insurance, and billing. Friendly.
I have regularly cleaning and checkups, had two crowns, and just had one emergency visit. Dr. Valerie Kaenel is gentle, caring, and informative. I completely trust her.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Val and Dr. Preston to anyone! I hadn't been able to go to a dentist for almost a decade and was worried that I would have a bad experience given the length of time without one. I gave Padre Dental a shot and I'm so glad I did! Dr. Val was very kind and straightforward. The treatments we did worked wonders on my teeth! And Kelly at the front desk is wonderfully friendly! I'm so glad to have found a great dentist. Thanks guys!
