Electronic Dental Records are an integrated part of our practice management system. Our paperless system delivers electronic charting, digital imaging and enhanced case presentation where it is needed most... at chair side.
Digital X-rays offer a huge advantage in early detection and preventive services. Advanced image manipulation and analysis, for example, allows your doctor to detect early stages of gum disease through recognition of bone level changes, or by evaluating the results against a previous treatment.
An intraoral camera is an indispensable diagnostic and educational tool. The tiny video camera moves around inside of your mouth and generates a tooth by tooth video exam of your teeth. Using an intraoral camera allows patients to better understand their dental needs by seeing what the dentist sees and then having it explained.
Lasers are a non-surgical approach to arresting the progression of periodontal disease. Following scaling and root planing, a laser is used to significantly reduce the bacterial colonies and decontaminate the infected periodontal pocket. Lasers also remove the infected tissue lining the periodontal pocket. As the infected tissue is removed, microscopic blood clots form and your body's natural healing response takes over. As you heal, the tissue reattaches to the bone and your gums return to a healthy infection-free state.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced, proven technology that provides more precise three-dimensional (3D) imaging for more accurate diagnosis and treatment of oral health conditions. 3D dental X-rays can uncover issues that may not be detectable with 2D X-rays. By making images easier to see, its helpful in gaining a better understanding of oral health conditions and suggested treatment.

Do not waste your time. Total scam and I feel bad for the people that they have scammed and actually paid them. If you do decide to go here, make sure they ask you if you want a panoramic scan and a Pre-Diagnostic test for cancer. They don't ask and they grab it and do it so quick that you won't even know what they are doing or have the time to respond. Quick add. Noticing a few of these 5 star ratings are from people who work there. Wish I did my research before going to this dentist office.

I'm probably not the only one terrified of dental work so let me tell you how well SMDG takes care of me!! Needed a lot of work done & they didn't make me feel bad like other places. I got 3 root canals done couple years ago & they did them so well, I'm extremely glad I did them here!! No problems at all! My hygienist makes sure to numb me extra well for cleaning so I'm comfortable everytime, I highly recommend coming here if you are feeling apprehensive.

I have been going to this dentist office for about 15 years it used to be a very good dentist office but they've gone through dentist like crazy and staff at least the last year and a half I felt like I was being ripped off for a deep cleaning they charge over $1000 and one time 2000 with insurance every three months ! I have spent a lot of money there over the 15 years so now I've changed dental office. I just wanted to warn anybody who was thinking about going here. I am also going to report them to the California dental board ps Megan who works there is one of the most rudest people I agree with the other people on the review your answer below is a lie you are the one who told me that you didn't want me coming back there because I complained about the prices and and service Megan ! so how can i talk it over! I have a new dentist you guys are a rip off very poor service ! You guys go through dentist I never have the same dentist more than a couple month you guys lost the best dentist that you ever had two years ago that was there for over 10 years

Megan in Financing was very rude, Righteous and talked over me Today, June 10, 2022 at my Visit few weeks ago, I was asked if I would like to see if I qualified for them to finance my dental treatment. I said yes. She the tells me, you qualified and gave me the amount. I specifically said , I'll would like to take home the treatment plan and fees home to discuss with my husband. Yet within a few days I get a hard inquiry on my Credit , stating hat I had opened a credit card with San Marcos Dental group. I would never do this without speaking to my husband first. So I've called the office and All I get is a recording. I called again and selected make an appt and finally got a person. Who was Very nice and apologetic. Total opposite of MEGAN in Finance who talked down to me , Over me and spoke to me like if I didn't understand what she was saying. I will not agree with you was all I heard. She kept repeating, I will not agree with you. I have never moved forward without consent. When I asked her, Did you get a signature from me approving opening a credit line?! NO. Her Tone in speaking to a customer was and is uncalled for. I had to match her tone or she would not stop talking over me!!! $14,000 treatment for my dental care? NOT doing it there. All because of MEGAN.

My insurance plan was not honored and I felt taken advantage of. Paid for X-rays and shouldn't have been charged. Was not allowed my free cleaning because their technician said I need more and that my insurance would not cover it. After talking with my insurance they were wrong in not honoring my plan.

This is the 1st dental office I have been in where I feel like I'm treated like family . They addressed my needs while being financially sensitive. I will definitely be returning and recommending this office.

I never write reviews because I it has to be extremely bad or over the top great which is why I am reviewing this office. This office has impressed me year after year with not only a team that treats me like family but a doctor who takes the time to review your x-rays with you to ensure you understand what is going on in your mouth. If you are looking for a new dentist Dr. Nosti is by far the best out there.

I had the BEST experience here. Dr. Nosti is amazing. He really took the time to show me my x-rays and explain to me in detail what he could do to restore my teeth and gums. I also just had my cleaning by Lei and she did a phenomenal job. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!

having a phobia of the dentist is common and this place knows how to calm me down and make me feel comfortable. I walked in with a toothache they were able to squeeze me into their schedule so I didn't have to go the entire weekend in pain. I had a huge infection unfortunately that I knew about a while ago but let it go because money is tight and I lost my job during the pandemic. Well it blew up on me again so I couldn't wait any longer Dr. Barrington(I think that's how you spell it) did a procedure to drain the infection and put me on antibiotic. I got to go back next week to see the specialist for a root canal but I am already feeling so much better. Best part is they have financing options I didn't have to pay anything out of pocket and have a year and a half no interest applied plan to pay off my treatment.

Recently went in and had my teeth cleaned by Lei the hygienist and I have never had a better teeth cleaning in my life. I have been to many dental offices in my life and never had my teeth cleaned so throughly like this. I will recommend this office to my company as we have been looking for a office for our employee to go to. I also was impressed with the front office as they knew my insurance and benefits better than I did. Im so glad I gave this office a shot.

Had a exam and cleaning for this first time at this office per my insurance recommendation. I am so glad my insurance assigned me here because this was the best cleaning I have ever had. My cleaning took just over an hour and I am beyond impressed my teeth look not only clean but so much whiter. The dentist was also very nice but I didn't spend that much time with him because I didn't have any cavities. The front office girls were very welcoming and knew all about my coverage.

I have my first appointment coming up on Monday.. and I'm so excited to be going here. This office really cares about the community as well, Dr Barrington chose my case to be his SERVE patient. ( once a year they will bless a patient with extensive dental needs) My teeth are falling apart.. and this office is gonna help me get all my teeth fixed so I can eat properly again, smile again, talk in person again, kiss my wife again.. the list goes on. Having this issue with my teeth has been causing such shame and embarrassment... Excited to update you all with the progress of my treatment.. I highly recommend calling Dr Barrington and scheduling your next cleaning ASAP!!

They are scammers. They charged me up front for a series of cleanings and then never did the work because they kept cancelling the appointments and then I moved far away.

I really wish I read the reviews before coming here. This place is a complete scam. They went over a procedure with me and I told them that I would like to get a second opinion and I would just like to get a dental cleaning that day. They charged me $2,400 for a dental cleaning and that was with insurance. No, I did not leave out a decimal. You read that right... $2.4K on a dental cleaning. Keep in mind that they advertise dental cleanings for $59 on their website.

(Translated by Google) Do not be fooled, investigate what type of place this is, it has been the worst treatment I have received, and also they charge you dearly for a basic cleaning that they do I had to pay more than 2000 dollars because according to them I needed that cleaning that turned out to be a regular cleaning, in addition to charging me, they charged the insurance company, and the worst thing was that they replaced me with a crown and it fell off I called them and they told me that they could not help me and to put a gum to cover me they also make you Waiting an hour until they take care of you is the worst thing I could have paid, investigate before going because I am not the only one that has happened to me. (Original) No se dejen enganar investiguen que tipo de lugar es este, ha sido el peor trato que he recibido , y ademas te cobran carisimo por una limpieza basica que te hacen tuve que pagar mas de 2000 dolares por que segun ellos necesitaba esa limpieza que resulto ser una limpieza regular , ademas de cobrarme a mi le cobraron a la aseguranza, y lo peor fue que me repusieron una corona y se me cayo les llame y me dijeron que no me podian atenderme y que me pusiera un Chicle para taparme ademas te hacen esperar una hora hasta que te atiendan es lo peor que pude haber pagado , investiguen antes de ir por que no soy la unica que me ha pasado eso.
