Dr. John Acosta has been in the dental profession since 2001 and loves what he does. It shows in the quality of work he provides and in his caring attitude toward each patient: treating everyone as an old friend or relative, easily making patients laugh, and making sure they are well-educated in the treatments required. This is why patients repeatedly come back to see him. Dr. Acosta is dedicated to all his patients and always tries his best to accommodate them by providing a flexible schedule. He is also Invisalign certified, providing his patients with the orthodontic care and the beautiful smiles they deserve.

Born in Honolulu, HI, to a father who served in the U.S. Army, Dr. Acosta has had the opportunity to live in many parts of the world, including Guam, Germany, Arizona, and South Korea. His family finally decided to settle near Seattle, WA.

Dr. Acosta lived a majority of his life in Washington. He graduated high school from a small town called Spanaway and received his bachelors degree from the University of Washington in Seattle. He is a die-hard Huskies fan and loves to follow most professional sports from the Northwest. Hell support Bay Area teams, but not over his beloved Seattle teams.

Dr. Acosta decided to get his dental degree from the University of the East in Manila, Philippines. It was an eye-opening experience for him to spend time in the country his parents were born, and he received a lot of hands-on experience. He once heard a fellow dentist say that a dental degree gives you the license to continue learning, and he has followed that idea ever since. He regularly takes continuing education classes to improve his knowledge, and he goes above and beyond by taking two to three times the required amount needed to maintain his dental license. This provides his patients with the latest dental technologies, materials, and techniques and allows him to give all his patients a high standard of dental care.

After finishing college, Dr. Acosta decided to make the big move and try life in California. He packed his little two-seater car with everything he owned and drove the 16-hour drive from Seattle to San Francisco. Its been 17 years since that move, and he now calls the city of Pacifica his home. The Bay Area is by far the best place hes lived, probably because he met his wife here. Dr. Acosta is happily married to his wife, Ann Marie, whom he met through a church social group. They have two sons: Soren Quinn, who is growing up to be a sweet, intelligent and kind 12-year old, and Tyler, who is an energetic 8-year old that takes after his dad in so many ways, especially personality. Dr. Acosta loves being a dentist, and aside from being a sports fanatic, he is also a tech and science geek. Youll be amazed at how much knowledge he keeps in that brain of his. As dedicated as Dr. Acosta is to his profession, he loves being with his family when he is not in the dental office. You will often find the Acosta family walking, biking, or hiking the beaches of Pacifica. Dr. Acosta also enjoys snowboarding, playing basketball, volleyball, and golf. Sometimes you might even see him surfing the waves at Linda Mar Beach.

I recently had a deep cleaning done. I barely thought she'd started when she was done, because she is so gentle.

I just received a teeth cleaning and before that I had two cavities filled by Dr. Acosta and his staff. The experiences were very positive and relaxing as I've always been a nervous dental patient since childhood. Besides the relaxed atmosphere and great attitude from the staff, I've received super dental work over the years ranging from tooth replacement, cavity fillings, and quarterly teeth cleaning. Dr. Acosta and his staff are a class act and I'd recommend them to anyone!

Have been coming here for years, my kid also. Have never been anything but completely satisfied. Thoughtful, attentive and capable care, both at the front office and back in the chair. Better than any of the dentists or orthodontists i visited up in SF when i lived there. This place has some of the best Pacifica has to offer.

For the past several years ive bern to several dentists and Pacific Coast Dental has been by far the best duscovery not only for me but for my family. The staff is 5 Star both in service and their facility is top of the line. This year I decided to have several procedures done with Dr. Acosta and his staff and glad I did. They made me feel comfortable, kept me well informed, but most of all they treated me like no other facility. PACIFIC COAST DENTAL has been the best discovery for my family a nd I. Thank you Dr. Acosta and to his staff.

We've been so happy and blessed to have Pacific Coast Dental as the dental practice for our entire family. Dr. Acosta is so incredibly friendly, personable, helpful and always helps provide options so the patient can choose what they feel is best for them. The entire front desk staff, including Dr. Acosta's wife Ann, Francis, and Yvonne are always happy to help in any way, including rescheduling appointments when life happens, helping remind us of when we have an upcoming appointment, and many other super supportive things, always with a cheerful and warm personality. And then our hygienist Aerial is the pain-free hygienist, where it almost doesn't even seem like my teeth are being worked on. Aerial is also super warm, educational, and always helps make sure I have the time to ask her questions and concerns, and then is very good in explaining the answers back, so I fully understand and can make my own choices, for going forward. Desiree is also an amazing dental assistant as well as front office support, with the warmest nicest personality and always super helpful! You'll see a theme here in my review that everybody in Pacific Coast Dental is just like a family, with the warmth and friendliness and helpfulness that you would expect from an actual family member. So our family highly recommends Pacific Coast Dental to anyone, and all their amazing reviews here echo these same sentiments. Keep up the great work, everyone at Pacific Coast Dental..!! Our entire family really appreciates you all greatly!

Dr Acosta and his team are like family to me, and indeed work together like a family. They make an otherwise scary dental visit as comfortable and pleasant as possible. They sacrifice personal time to accommodate my emergencies. In fact, I had a tooth crowned just yesterday afternoon, without having to wait two weeks for a temporary, as I would at other dental clinics. Dr Acosta has superb technical skills, uses the latest technology, and makes sure his patients are well distracted by well positioned TV screens with multiple channels. What more could you ask for?

Pacific Coast Dental is absolutely wonderful. I've never had good experiences with dentists in the past, but Dr. Acosta and his team are simply amazing in every way. I would like to give a special shout out to Gina as she always makes me feel comfortable when cleaning my teeth. She's the best in the business in my experiences. Thank you for everything Pacific Coast Dental.
