I HIGHLY recommend Carlsbad Smile Studio! We've had horrible experiences with dentists in our area and we've chosen to drive an hour away for our dental appointments because the care is just that incredible! Dr. Minter and her team are so sweet and have not only made my 4 year old son feel so comfortable at the dentist, but they also helped heal his teeth so that he didn't have to get four root canals like other dentists were recommending. We're switching the entire family to this practice and I recommend Dr. Minter to everyone I know!

For compassionate caring, meticulous attention to details, highest quality results, the Carlsbad Smile Studio is the place to be. As a woman who is extremely sensitive to chemicals, the high tech filtration, purification, and sanitizing systems make it worth the 2,000-mile RT drive to get to this office. AND, if you ever need a crown, Dr. Minter has the experience, expertise, and equipment to complete the entire process in just ONE DAY. Based on my personal experience a couple of weeks ago, she really knows how to fit a crown with precision. It was a real treat to be with Dr. Minter, her dedicated assistant, and the rest of her loving team AND I really appreciate the healthy tips they shared. If you want a dental visit that will give you a reason to smile, call the Carlsbad Smile Studio today!

The best experience I've ever had a dental office. I'm a new transplant from NC and I was looking for a new dentist. I had called 6 offices close to where I live in Temecula and those who answered were extremely rude and not helpful. I decided let me try somewhere far and would still be in my network. I ran across Smile Studio and it had holistic dental in the name and it caught my attention. I found the moment of the 1call with their receptionist was welcoming and helpful . My whole experience from walking in to the service and the end of the appointment was great. The care , engaging conversation, the information during my care and recommendations of products felt honest and it was very appreciated. I bought their mouth wash, toothpaste and tooth floss. My mouth and teeth feel better and I look forward to continued care for as long as I am in the area.

I really can't explain how much I enjoyed going to get my cleaning yesterday But I'm going to try !!! First of all the staff is really friendly- but, I have to say I've never had an experience like this before the dentist - they gave me a hot neck wrap and a little sniff of lavender to calm me down from my stressed appearance that I arrived with. The dental assistant who cleaned my teeth did a really great job and used all natural products. I could smell clove and spearmint and everything felt very natural and healthy for my teeth. They tested the pH bacteria in my mouth and showed me on a large screen what kind of bacteria I had and what it looked like ...that left a lasting impression, nonetheless very cool and informative! even the dental floss they used was coconut-based ( no more plastic!). Anyway, I just wanted to share that it kind of felt like going to a "spa for your teeth" I've never experienced anything like it and I'm actually looking forward to my next cleaning.

Dr Minter and her team are the greatest!! I've been to many dentists and Dr Minter is the best dentist I've ever been to! My appointment was for a broken tooth. I was hoping that the tooth could be saved with a crown. Dr Minter and Marcy listened to my past experiences/issues with amalgam filling removal (which would be necessary on this tooth). I was given oxygen, a rubber dam was used to isolate my tooth, and special instruments were used for the removal. They were so caring and gentle throughout whole procedure! They made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I left with the filling gone and a crown on the tooth. I'm going to make additional appointments to remove all of my amalgam fillings. I purchased the Membership Plan and it saved me money on this first visit. I plan to purchase a Membership Plan for all of my family members. Thank you Jennifer for signing me up and showing me the great value of the plan! I will be referring all of my friends to Carlsbad Smile Studio

Dr. Minter and her team are top notch. The team is super friendly and Dr. Minter is a miracle worker. She fixed two of my top teeth with composite versus having to do braces or Invisalign and I am so happy with the results. 1 hr and done! We laughed, had a great time and my teeth are perfection. Highly recommend!!!! No better dentist out there in my opinion.
