If you’re not 100% happy with your current dentist, there’s probably a reason: Some of the dentists out are simply bad at dentistry, unethical, or lazy.
Here’s a story about the night and day difference a client can have, and how happy they can be after they come into our office, to get things done right the first time.
My incredible staff gave me this photo (taken at Moonlight Beach) yesterday for our 1-year anniversary.
It’s been an eventful year, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude for having amazing patients, a hard-working and fun team, and a fantastic location.
New to the neighborhood is Ironsmith Coffee. They’re located right across the street from our office.
Pictured here is Raul, the owner. He’s awesome, very passionate and knowledgeable about coffee, and he makes a great cup of coffee.
I want to swing from the chandelier in our brand new relaxation treatment suite.
This will be a suite separated from the main office (located right next door) for patients that would like a little more privacy, have special needs, or can’t stand the sound of drilling.
At our Encinitas practice, you can get most things done in a single visit, whereas in many (if not most) dental offices this takes 2-3 visits and many hours of your time.
The picture below shows 3 crowns. See if you can spot the differences.
2 of them we made in a single visit, and they look and feel like completely natural teeth.
The other was made by another dentist. This crown took at least 2 visits, plus it looks like hot buttered popcorn.
Last weekend I was out of town. I got a severe headache that progressed throughout Saturday, and from past experience, I knew my neck was out of alignment. By the end of the trip, my frontal headache increased to motion sickness, and actually caused me to vomit several times. I couldn’t sleep.
Meet the people locally that help me out when I experience these issues.
Meet Brooke, our new treatment and schedule coordinator. A San Diego native, she’s been in the dental world since 2012, helping patients with their insurance questions and scheduling appointments.
Doug is a certified service dog for emotional support. He loves greeting our patients, and is available upon request for the phobic patient who wants extra emotional support.
Friends who do not live in San Diego: Watch this video and feel your jealousy overwhelm you as you realize we live in the best place on earth!
Happy new year! It’s been just over a year since we started Moonlight Beach Dental, and we’re already expanding the office.
Check out the before pics now.
A patient did not like her deteriorating bonding and shortened teeth that made her look older. With 6 veneers with laser gum re-contouring, she looks great!
Every day, people ask us the same question: “Who did your web site?”
They tell us it’s beautiful and professional. They tell us how easy it is to read and use. But what they don’t see is how much business it produces for us.
Let me tell you: It’s amazing. The number of new clients we get each week from the web site far exceeds any expectation I have ever had.
In less than 2 hours, we replaced a cracked porcelain crown with brand new, permanent crown. What’s cool is how the color of the new crown is identical to the rest of her teeth. Compare the color of the new crown vs. the old crown.
I’m continuing to highlight my neighbors here in Moonlight Plaza, and with this post, I want to introduce Lindsay Daigle, owner of De La Soleil – located right next door to Moonlight Beach Dental.
I went for a peel, microdermabrasion and some eyebrow reshaping to give me a fresh and lovely appearance… my key to staying young.
One of the great things about this Learning Center is that it provides a way for me post to spotlight interesting local Encinitas businesses and people. And one of my neighbors here in the Moonlight Plaza is Dr. Michelle Wolford, ND.
This post has nothing to do with dentistry, but everything to do with something very positive going on in the local Leucadia / Encinitas community. Some local Leucadians have taken their love for the ocean, and created a environmentally-responsible business that also happens to be just plain cool: Enjoy Handplanes. Check this out, it’s great.
Today is our 6-month anniversary! Here is a photo celebrating the awesomeness at Moonlight Beach Dental. We’re #1! We’re almost certainly the top dentistry called Moonlight Beach Dental in the entire world!
Thank you to everyone in Encinitas – and beyond. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Brand new video about our CEREC machine, which prints out perfect teeth. Science!
By popular request, here is one of the songs that I perform sometimes during pediatric teeth cleanings. I learned this one by exhaustively watching Yo Gabba Gabba.
Right up the street from Moonlight Beach Dental is Encinitas Surfboards.
They’ve been here for a long, long time, and their logo is almost ubiquitous with Encinitas.
We attended Fiesta Del Sol last weekend and had something to give away. Congrats to Trish (Bliss Shop) for being the lucky winner of our beach cruiser! You can catch her out and about around town.
If you’re looking for Dr. Laurie Gan, or her dental practice, 32 The Art of Dentistry, you are in the right spot! Dr. Gan has sold her dental practice to Dr. Nicole Vane. Dr. Vane is now seeing Dr. Gan’s clients.
The Surfing Madonna is now located on the Encinitas Blvd side of Leucadia Pizzeria, in the same shopping center we are, Moonlight Plaza.
What started out as an act of guerilla art is now a big part of the culture. Read about the history of the Surfing Madonna.
East Village Asian Diner is located a couple blocks from Moonlight Beach Dental – and it’s the bomb dot com.You can’t go wrong with their signature item, the Monk’s Stone Pot – a big metal pot filled with rice, veggies and meat or tofu.Affordable, cool, easy and fun. Robots on the walls and Japanese cartoons playing on the screens.
Moonlight Beach is about a block away to the west of our office.It’s fantastic that between clients we can take a stroll to the beach, and clients can do the same before and after dental work.
Leucadia Pizzeria is in the same center as Moonlight Beach Dental. Great pizza, we love the BBQ chicken pizza.
Lofty Coffee Co. is located caddy-corner to Moonlight Beach Dental, and provides fantastic coffee. You can always tell who has the best coffee by the long lines!
