Wow! This place is truly amazing. From the moment I called, the receptionist Jalissa was phenomenal. She told me come right away for a toothache that ended up being a tooth abcess and needed a root canal asap. They got me back right away to get numb and start the root canal process. Dr. Lauren Ho was truly amazing. Great bedside manner, attentive and empathetic. Not only that they got this done so quick. The root canal specialist that did my root canal was amazing. Finished so quick, they were able to get my permanent crown on same day as root canal. I could not have had a better experience with this office. Thank you guys!!!!

Marella went above and beyond to help us get our insurance issues worked out, and everyone there has been friendly throughout the process of getting my daughter braces. I would definitely recommend Clairemont Smiles.

The hygienist, Annie, does an amazing job cleaning your teeth. I’ve been getting deep cleanings and periodontal maintenance for 15 years at different dental offices, and I must say that Annie’s work is the best I’ve seen so far. Even my periodontist, whom I see in La Jolla every six months for follow-ups, told me that the cleaning was done exceptionally well! I hope Annie stays at Clairemont Smiles, but even if she doesn’t, I’ll follow her wherever she goes!

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
