Surfside Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I went to Surfside to get a second opinion. The first dentist wanted to do so much work it would have cost me thousands of dollars. Surfside showed me how to save up to 40% off my bill. Turns out I did not need all that work in the first place.
Fantastic experience: Best dental office in North County. Super friendly team, very thorough and informative. Diane was awesome today! I leaned new stuff, thanks!
Fantastic experience: Dr. McMahan and his staff are the best. Always smiling, always positive.
Fantastic experience: Will admit, was honest and has leading professionals whom care to listen. Diane would ask the questions of my history and current experience to ensure the service set forth was right from the first appointment. No pressure. See you in 6 months!!!!
Fantastic experience: My visit was done in a Professional manner. The appoinment was on time.. I was helped with insurance options, and payment information up-front. The Doctor and assistants were kind and helpful in all ways.
Fantastic experience: I’m so happy to have found a dentist who has my best interest at heart. I trust Dr. McMahan to take great care of my teeth. Diane was my hygienist, and she really cleaned my teeth nice. She was gentle and very thorough.
Fantastic experience: By far the best dentist office that I have been too. Starting from the ladies at the front desk, Kristy the hygienist and the Dr McMann if an amazing dentist. We were very lucky to find this incredible dentist office and be part of the Surfside family.
Fantastic experience: Great office with such nice staff!
Fantastic experience: Surfside Dental is great! They do not upsell for any products just great care! They really care about patients and are very sensitive to the patient.
Fantastic experience: I just visited Surfside Dental, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. The whole team is so welcoming, gentle, and professional — the kind of people who make going to the dentist feel easy and stress‑free. The hygienist took her time, explained everything clearly, and made sure I was comfortable the entire visit. My teeth feel incredibly clean, and the atmosphere in the office is calm, modern, and super organized. If you’re looking for a dentist who actually listens, treats you with kindness, and delivers high‑quality care, Surfside Dental is a fantastic choice. Whether you need a routine cleaning or more detailed dental work, you’ll be in great hands here. Highly recommend to anyone searching for a reliable, friendly dentist in the area.
Fantastic experience: I’m a new patient to Surfside my first impression very nice people from the receptionist, to the dental hygienist and the dentist Dr. McMahon exceptional service I highly recommend this dental office I will be bringing my family back for sure !
Fantastic experience: Surfside Dental provides excellent dental care services every time I have an appointment! I absolutely love Christy, she is gentle yet thorough and very professional. I love the whole team! I am so glad we found Surfside Dental!
Fantastic experience: Today was also great March 25, 2026. I had asked to be on the waitlist and they called me back and got me in perfectly. Front office is always amazing! I think my hygienist was Chrissy she’s been there for 13 years and just came back from vacation (sorry if I got your name wrong ). She listened to all my needs and concerns. My cleaning went very well and she was very appreciative of me getting my wires off my braces so that I could get a thorough cleaning. Dr. McMahan came in briefly and said everything looked great. Overall a nice visit. Thank you ☺️ Dr. Michael McMahan is the greatest! He and his staff are so kind and patient. I love it there. They are patient, knowledgeable and give great customer service from the time you call, when you enter (the place is beautiful and clean by the way), to when you check out and leave. I had a cleaning, they fixed a chip and even went back with no problems cause I’m a little anal about my teeth and he made it perfect! Thank you so much Surfside Dental family, you ALL were amazing! You won’t be disappointed coming here, job well done! Happy Patient ☺️
Fantastic experience: It was so nice to have a gentle hygienist & loved Dr. McMahon, such a pleasant experience, whew!
Fantastic experience: Great Doc and team! Been going for years and have always been taken great care of.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly and the Doc was the best. I highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: The atmosphere and the people are awesome. The Dental Hygienist is thorough and understanding about any concerns!
Fantastic experience: The staff is very friendly and nice. I'm in the process of getting my 93 year old mom dentures. She had a impression today and we are hoping for a good outcome. Will keep posting on the progress in weeks to come. This is Patricia Weldon, I want to thank you for being patient with me. As I have very bad neuropathy and My son Jim has been a huge help and I don't know what I would do without him. So sometimes I have to stay home because of my health issues I'm hoping the adjustment today will feel just as good as in the office. Thank you for giving me the reassurance that I can come back anytime and the patients. Sincerely, Patricia Weldon.
Fantastic experience: Great experience today with my cleaning and evaluation!
Fantastic experience: Dr. McMahan and team are fantastic! The entire team is very welcoming, polite and makes your experience great! If you’re looking for a great dentist look no further. You won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: This was my first time seeing Surfside Dental. I was referred to them by my son, I found them all to be very friendly, caring and courteous. The dental hygienist Christie was awesome, I felt she was gentle yet very thorough during the whole process. Dr. McMahan reviewed my cleaning and personal hygiene, both he and Christie were very encouraging to me at how well I have been caring for my teeth and gums. I will definitely be going back to them for my care and would highly recommend them!
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t be more grateful for Dr.McMahan and his amazing staff. My daughter’s spacer, one side broke off from the back of her tooth. Looks like her new teeth were on their way in. Anyways, we called got a quick next day morning appointment , filled out the paperwork through the link, received a few text messages and we were in and out in less then 20mins. Didn’t have to wait long for his quick services and he is very easy to talk to. Couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you again. My daughter is so grateful too!
Fantastic experience: Experience matters; you get it at Surfside. Clean office. Not a corporate dental office where 5 dentists run back and forth doing little bits of your procedure before they have to go into the next room and do something on another patients before the novocaine wears out. Finally, the last dentist I’ll ever need. Thank you dental gods!
Fantastic experience: The whole process of making appointment and checking in was very easy. Everyone from the front office to the dental assistant including the doctor was great!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. McMahan is incredibly respectful of your time — I’ve never been left waiting, and the office runs smoothly in such a warm, welcoming environment. He is professional, kind, and genuinely attentive, and the entire staff reflects that same care and energy. I’ve tried many dentists in this community, and I can honestly say I’m done looking — this is the one. What truly sets Dr. McMahan apart is his integrity. He offers fair pricing and thoughtful treatment options, not just the most expensive ones, and it’s clear he puts patients first. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Two years after our long time dentist sold his practice, and after several false starts -- we have finally found our forever go-to dental team at Surfside Dental. From Melissa who patiently answered all my questions, made our appointments, helped change our appointments, explained payment options, to being welcomed by Dr. McMahan who took the time to get to know me a bit, to Damaris who did my dental cleaning, it was an all-around pleasant and positive experience. Such a warm and friendly staff and a clean and welcoming environment. No hard sells. No recommendations for things not needed. Just a thorough examination and cleaning at a reasonable price. Damaris explained everything she was doing (and why) and was quite possibly the cheeriest dental hygienist I have encountered in any dental office I've ever been to! I was beginning to think I'd never find the right dentist for us -- so glad I found Surfside Dental, Dr. McMahan and his staff!!
Fantastic experience: Great care and amazing group of people in this office.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic dentist office! The staff and Dr McMahan are the best. They are friendly and make you feel comfortable. They go over procedures and take the time to make sure you understand. They are caring people
Fantastic experience: Another great visit to Surfside Dental. As always, the entire staff was very friendly and I was taken on time, actually a few minutes early. This was a rescheduled appointment which they were able to accomadate on short notice. Thank you Surfside Dental!
Fantastic experience: Great staff, easy to work with, and dental cleaning was outstanding…as usual. Thank you all!
Fantastic experience: So happy I found Dr Mcmahan and his staff! I always feels that I'm getting the best, honest, top notch dental care when I go in. Kelly at the front desk is super friendly and helpful. Dr Mcmahan in eases my fear of dental work and is gentle. The hygienist is superb!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been patients at Surfside Dental for a couple of years. Every appointment has been a pleasure, the dental work is some of the best we have ever received and all members of the team are amazing!
Fantastic experience: Christy is just wonderful she always is personable, prepared , kind, gentle and encouraging. She makes me feel like my own daughter is taking care of me. My teeth and mouth feel great when she is done. Dr McMahan makes me and my teeth issues seem okay, that “we” are going to be just fine, and they always are. I’m so glad he is my friend and dentist.
Fantastic experience: What a breath of fresh air. Dr. McMahan and his team at Surfside are top notch. I’ve left several dentist offices feeling scammed, pressured, and vulnerable. Not at Surfside. They were honest, kind, and professional. The previous dentist I saw claimed I needed 15K+ worth of fillings, crowns, an extraction, deep cleanings, genetic tests, etc. I accepted the inevitable but, based off a brief and lovely interaction I had with their front desk, I decided to book with Surfside to confirm. Dr. McMahan informed me my teeth were healthy and he’d see me in 6 months for a cleaning. I’m beyond relieved to find a trustworthy dentist not trying to push unnecessary work. My family and I will be patients for life. Thank you to Lynn, Dr. McMahan, the sweet hygienist who took care of me, and everyone else in the office. You’ve set the standard for how dental offices should operate and treat their people.
Fantastic experience: The teeth cleaning appointment started on time and the dental technician, Natalie, was very efficient and responsive to all of my needs.
Fantastic experience: Doctor McMahon and TEAM are awesome. Thanks for professionally and gently taking care of me and my family for decades. God bless you all and keep up the good work.
Fantastic experience: Embarrassed to say when my last dentist visit was due to pure fear. Surfside made the entire experience amazing, and I'm very grateful I've been able to get my cleaning back on track. Highly recommend this dental practice.
Fantastic experience: Always have a pleasant experience at Surfside Dental.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. McMahan for over 25 years and I always have the best experience. He is on time for appointment, and is by far the best dentist. Every staff member is helpful and friendly, and I highly recommend them to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Excellent care! Christi is the best dental hygienist—thorough, gentle, and caring. The doctor is attentive and takes a conservative approach, which I really appreciate. A perfect balance of professionalism and personalized care.
Fantastic experience: I woke up this morning and my teeth were really happy. They look forward to getting cleaned every six months. They are what’s known as happy teeth.
Fantastic experience: Surfside Dental is the absolute best! No pushy sales tactics, just amazing service with 100% dedicated staff! I love them!!
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient here for many years. Love Dr. McMahan and his staff. Never had to wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting room, I believe it's because they do not over book. They spend quality time with each patient, never rushing and answers all questions and concerns. Prompt service, again because they don't over book, they are able to take urgent matters as they come up. Also they don't look for problems that are not there. They take x-rays and do a thorough exam, and cleaning. The front office and exam rooms are all clean, and they have modern equipment. They practice preventative care. Would highly recommend this office for dental care.
Fantastic experience: A pretty fine first experience. Very attentive to patient concerns - whether treatment-related or financial - they offer a pragmatic approach to managed dental care...prioritizing the most critical needs and dispositioning the lesser issues going forward. Always working to integrate with insurance. Leaving the final decision to the patient. As it should be, I think. They strategize for a marathon, not a sprint!
Fantastic experience: Good honest people and a great environment. Have recommended this clinic to many friends and family.
Fantastic experience: Dr. McMahan's office is full of kind, efficient, and competent people! They are on time as well! They squeezed my in the same day because of my need. I was so grateful!
Fantastic experience: “This office is amazing! Dr. McMahan is very kind, and Lynn and Erin, the assistants, are thorough and caring. I felt very well taken care of.”
Fantastic experience: You will not find better dental care than what the staff at Dr. Michael McMahan's clinic offers. Expert dental hygienists keep track of my regular dental needs, and Dr. McMahan and his dental assistants provide excellent diagnostic recommendations and emergency service (eg., if a crown falls off and needs replacing, he's there for you). The dental work is expert, and you will leave the office with treatment administered with serious consideration for aesthetic appeal, as well. The billing is reasonable and the front desk greets with a friendly vibe. Look no further than Surfside Dental in Oceanside.
Fantastic experience: Live this office and all the staff. They are prompt, courteous, informative, painless and have the newest technology. All the staff is great.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely had an amazing experience with Surfside dental . I was a brand new patient to them and it’s been a little bit since I’ve been to the dentist and they made me feel welcome and comfortable and gave me a judgement free zone. Christie was my hygienist and was absolutely amazing and walked me through everything she was doing. Highly recommend Surfside dental . Thank you for a wonderful experience you truly helped calm my nerves . Looking forward to seeing y'all again in 6months !!!!
Fantastic experience: Very nice, quick, and helpful. I need my wisdom teeth extracted and they were kind enough to call multiple places to get me the earliest appointment they could find available
Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Who doesn’t get anxious about going to the dentist? Well, after my visit to this office, all of my worries are gone! Dr. McMahon was incredibly gentle, Lynn was so kind, and the lady at the front desk was patient and understanding. The entire team deserves five stars. I absolutely love this place and, after my first visit for a tooth extraction, I can confidently say this will be the only dental office I ever go to. I’ve been back several times now and look at my new teeth! Highly recommended! Only The Best JW
Fantastic experience: Christie, as always the most professional Hygienist I have met! Thanks so mucha dear Christie, you are the best!!!
Fantastic experience: My wife, adult daughter and myself completed our first cleaning with Surfside Dental in Oceanside. Marla, Wendy and Melissa from the front office along with the dental hygienists (Damaris and Dina who was filling in for Christie) were all extremely nice and very organized and they all did a wonderful job. The same for Dr. McMahan as he was very nice and very knowledgeable. They only address what needs done and do not pressure the patient to get work done what does not need to be done which is great. We will be going back and so glad we found them.
Fantastic experience: Dr McMahon and whole Staff are so kind and sweet!! Dr. does not try to upsell you or do unnecessary testing + procedures, including saying I need a mouth guard for teeth grinding (which by the way is a common scam in a lot of dentist offices). Also, can I talk about the AMAZING tunes they play!! They rotate their music from 70’s ,80’s, 90’s hits and yacht rock- which is soothing when you are sitting in the chair in front of their big TV’s filled with beautiful landscapes. This office gets an A+ with customer care+ service and a cool+ hip + clean dentist office. BRAVO
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Surfside Dental. The entire staff are professional, knowledgeable and polite. The office is comfortable and immaculate. Everyone made me feel at ease.
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best dental office visit in my life and up there with the best dentist offices I have been to. Great competence at every position. If I didn't relocate to San Diego county, I would probably be timing my visits here so when I fly in I would incorporate my sixth month visit to this team!
Fantastic experience: I had an emergency with a porcelain crown that came off. My regular dentist, who was out of town, recommended Dr.McMahon. They were closing in less than an hour on Friday and they went ahead and took me in at 12:15. I really appreciated that. The dentist and al of the staff that helped me were excellent.
Fantastic experience: My mom, who is 94, couldn’t say enough good things about Dr. McMahan and his staff. She kept saying how nice everyone was, and Dr. McMahan was very gentle and fast. She highly recommends Surfside Dental.
Fantastic experience: I came across Surfside Dental about 5 years ago while I was on the hunt for a new dentist local to my area. I do my best to support local smaller businesses when possible- so that was a major factor in choosing Surfside. 5 years later, as a (proudly) returning patient, I just wanted to come on here and share what a pleasant experience it has been to be apart of this practice. I came to Dr. M in search of a place I could feel comfortable with- whether I was talking money/payments or serious dental work. I feel like I struck gold with this place/team! The Ladies taking care of the admin work- who are the same 2 friendly Women I speak to every single visit, are so awesome. Shout out to them! In a world where it seems that employee turn around is so high every where you go- this team has remained strong and consistent. That speaks volumes about leadership and how well Dr. M takes care of his team. As I was leaving my appointment today, I heard him tell his staff and hygienists "Great work today everyone". And they all wished each other well for the end of the day. It just gave me confirmation that I made the right decision become a patient here. Also, shout out to Lynn (Dental Assistant) she is the best! 5 stars for a warm, welcoming environment 5 stars for transparency and up front about costs/work needed 5 stars for fixing the problem 10/10 times
Fantastic experience: Staff, dental assistant and dentist were all so sweet, patient and informative for my two year old daughter’s first dental appointment.
Fantastic experience: Cristi is an excellent dental hygienist She is very thorough and personable She made sure all my teeth were cleaned properly and was careful to avoid hurting me
Fantastic experience: Went today as a new patient. The whole staff was wonderful. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Diane, the dental hygienist, was informative and taught me what products to use to ease my teeth cleaning. She is gentle and very sweet and made me feel comfortable. My entire family visits this dental practice. All the staff are so professional and helpful. The cherry on the top is the care the dentist, Dr. McMahan, gives to our entire family! So glad we found a good dental practice!
Fantastic experience: Dr. McMahan and his staff is amazing! They book my child and I at the same time for cleanings which is so convenient. Dr. McMahan is so accommodating and creates a calming environment for my child who has autism. He even gives shots that my kiddo can manage and now is not scared to go to the dentist!! He talks my kiddo through dental procedures with care, concern, and positive affirmations. The staff makes any dental emergency I have their emergency and make us feel like family. They assist with venturing through insurance and bring a simplicity to receiving dental care. I highly recommend Surfside Dental for the entire family!!
Fantastic experience: Very clean office with very friendly staff! First appointment was today and the experience was great from start to finish. Glad to have such a great dentist office so close in Oceanside!
Fantastic experience: The staff -- reception, Hygienist (Dina?) and Dr. McMahon were all great. The space and techology was great too (and I loved the screen with calming caribbean images). So glad to have found you!
Fantastic experience: I have had numerous Dentist in the past.....BUT I have found a home here. GREAT Dentist & employees!!!! They do excellent work with the latest equipment available.
Fantastic experience: I never enjoy having my teeth clean. Because I always feel like I'm drowning from the water. I know it's necessary to keep the machine cooled down. But she used something different and it really helped a lot. It made me more relaxed and I won't mind having my teeth clean the next time.
Fantastic experience: My first appointment was a pleasure. The staff were very professional and friendly. The Dr. was very thorough and personable, I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough great things. Christie is by far the best hygienist out there and it’s a night a day difference from the previous dentists I’ve been to. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: My latest office visit ( for a crown ) . From the welcoming front desk ladies to the dental prep with ( lynn ) and the work by Michael the Dentist was all done with amazing care and reassurance . Surfside Dental does it all : Good scheduling , quality work and a very pleasant attmosphere . I'd give them 6 Stars ..5 just isn't enough .
Negative experience: I am not doing this lightly. I was told after my initial visit with this new dentist that we would be scheduling my follow-up appointment to the initial visit after a tooth extraction. This may be a presumption on my part but there's no follow up phone call from the practice. So after a few weeks, a reasonable period of time, I called and scheduled the follow-up appointment. The office sent me on my phone some forms to be filled out. I have a tremor which makes my doing small detail tasks on my phone very difficult, and I explained that to the receptionist but I had to ask her twice to give me a hand filling out the forms due to a my tremor. The doctor performed his tasks adequately and professionally, but after doing an extensive amount of work on me, there were no no follow-up recommendations or instructions is given nor was there any recommendation for a follow-up visit in 6 months. When I got to the main desk the person there was more than happy to take my money, and I noticed that she cheerfully asked young gentleman before me if he wanted to schedule a follow up visit in 6 months. When it came my turn and she took my payment for the services rendered, I had to initiate the subject of the follow up appointment.After we completed our interaction, I was summarily dismissed I know the difference between closure and dismissal and I was dismissed I was once told that tact was ability to tell someone to go to hell and make them look forward to the trip. The message I'm getting here doesn't pass muster. I am a simple man If my presence is unwelcome just tell me. It could be said that this could have been resolved with a phone call but it's my perception that it would have been gaffed off and kept from people who would have to account for their actions so I chose this recourse, I have no choice but to cancel my appointment I feel there's nothing that can resolve this matter that Dog just don't hunt. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at Surfside Dental for the last 6 years and would not consider going anywhere else. Dr. McMahan and his Team run a professional, clean and friendly clinic. Ever since my first visit, I was very pleased by the efficiency of Kelly, the receptionist, and the warmth and gentleness of Christine and Anissa the dental hyginiests who perform an excellent job. Dr. McMahan is always professional and personal. He definitely makes the experience as pleasant and reassuring as possible. I have not had any major dental problems since I’ve been taken care of by Dr. McMahan and his Team.I am very happy with the results and would certainly recommend Surfside Dental to anyone who is in need of great dental care.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff - both front and back office. Great experience - so happy to have found a dental practice that understands sensitive teeth.
Fantastic experience: As a new patient to Surfside dental, I am very impressed by the quality of care. The front office staff were so helpful and kind. The ease of text msg links to fill out prior to appt and reminders. All very helpful. Diane was so sweet and knowledgeable cleaning my teeth and listening to my concerns. She didn’t rush through the appt and gave me a great resource to help my plaque issues. Dr McMahon is very kind and gentle dentist acknowledging my sensitive teeth and anxiety seeing dentists. I’m glad I found you guys!
Fantastic experience: I can't rave enough about Surfside dental. Doctor McMahan and all of the staff are incredibly friendly and explain each procedure in detail. They really put you at ease! We love the hygienists we've had appointments with, Lynn and Diane, they are both awesome. Doctor McMahan is very honest, trustworthy and cares about his patients, I definitely recommend this dentist.
Fantastic experience: I've had nothing but positive interactions with them, communication has been great. Setting up an appointment has been extremely easy. And I never have to wait long to be seen. I'm 38 years old. And I always hated going to the dentist since I was little. This place has been a godsend because I needed alot of work done and they have been amazing.
Fantastic experience: Everyone was great. Superb customer service. Very caring and great follow up. Especially Lynn went above and beyond. Dental services were wonderful too!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, beautiful office, great pricing, and everyone is super pleasant. Love the sea shore rolling footage in every room. My dental hygiene is thankful
Fantastic experience: SURFSIDE dental is great. Dr. McMahan cares about his patients, the staff are friendly. Denise did a wonderful job on my routine cleaning.
Fantastic experience: Christie Rosenkranz is fantastic. Very thorough, informative and creates a fantastic experience each time I’m in for a cleaning. Very family friendly office and a great staff. Highly recommend to anyone in the Oceanside area.
Fantastic experience: I searched for a dentist and came across Surfside Dental in Oceanside. I have been with my former dentist for 15 years, and had to find a dentist close to home. My hygienist suggested I look for a dental office with a good hygienist. I read the reviews online and made an appointment. I was extremely pleased to find the office team to be extremely friendly and professional. The hygienist who attended me was thorough and knowledgeable. I am coming back and already booked my next appointment!
Fantastic experience: Rose Hodges: Not having been to a dentist in quite a while, and being new to Surfside Dental, I was not only comfortable, but the staff were very pleasant and always concerned about me and always letting me know what they were doing. Lynn was excellent along with Trina, Anissa, and Dr. McMahan. I highly recommend Surfside! Since this visit, I've been there 2 more times and love the staff and very happy with the whole experience.
Fantastic experience: Had my first visit today. It couldn’t have gone smoother! I was taken to an exam room within a couple of minutes of arriving and was seen promptly. Really felt comfortable with Dr. McMahan.
Fantastic experience: Such a wonderful experience. The team at the front desk are so welcoming when you arrive and greet you by first name. Very comfortable rooms and the hygienist and Dr. talked me through all the procedures. Just a great group of professionals who really care about their patients. No hard selling or recommending procedures that are not required to make an extra buck. Highly recommend Surfside to anyone. These guys are hands down the best dental team I have experienced.
Fantastic experience: Everyone simply could not have been kinder or more helpful! A+++. They got my brother in within 1 day of calling! We are leaving on a cruise in a week and his bridge with his front teeth came out!! They saw him immediately, did an excellent repair and so reasonably priced. Can't thank them all enough, they definitely saved our cruise!!
Fantastic experience: I didn’t know I could have a positive experience at the dentist until coming here! Everyone was so warm and welcoming from the front desk, to the dentist, to the assistant and the hygienist. I think it was the first time I left not feeling shame or extreme pain from all the digging and poking at my gums! The hygienist was very skilled and gentle. I would recommend Surfside to anyone! In fact, I already did right after my appointment:)
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Most professional Dental office I have ever been in. The receptionist’s to the Dentist and his staff are top shelf. The Dentist’s assistant Lin was Amazing and extremely talented and kind. Don’t walk here, run to these professionals. I broke a tooth . I had a temporary put on in 40 minutes, which held up like a real tooth. In less than 2 weeks I had the replacement put in and this only took about 35 minutes. Plus I felt no pain, Lin took the Temporary off with ease. Plus the new tooth in color looks like the rest of my teeth. Great match by Lin.
Fantastic experience: The staff here were incredibly patient and extremely helpful in guiding me through a checkup and cleaning. They're super kind even through my anxiety and fear of dentists. I would highly recommend them for anyone who has a fear of dentists.
Fantastic experience: My kids and I have been seeing Dr. McMahan and his staff for a few years. We could not ask for more! Great treatment, nice people…especially Lynn who is an absolute gem! I’ve had a lot of work done and she is always so sweet and patient. Lover her!
Fantastic experience: Diane was my hygienist at Surfside Dental. She was very thorough and explained everything she would be doing before, during and after my teeth cleaning. She made me feel at ease and comfortable. I definitely would recommend!
Fantastic experience: My dentist of 20 years retired and my husband and I were referred to Surfside Dental. This dental office and team are perfection! Kelly, the office manager, couldn't be more pleasant & professional and Dr. McMahan is very honest, friendly, kind, and empathetic to each dental situation. He doesn't "push" his business or treatment onto patients like I have experienced at other dental offices. Surfside Dental is beautifully remodeled which includes the most updated dental technology. I used to never want dental x-rays because of radiation exposure, but their x-ray equipment produces very minimal radiation. Each time I walk into Surfside Dental I feel very calm and relaxed. While in a dental chair I love being mesmerized by watching the (large flatscreen TV) beach front webcams and listening to the calming music. The entire Surfside Dental experience could not be more pleasant! We are extremely thankful to have Dr. McMahan and his team providing our dental care! Another plus is parking. Parking is very easily assessable.
Fantastic experience: Some of the most friendly, patient employees I've ever encountered at a dentist! Their kindness really made a big difference in my level of anxiety. Grateful to have found them and will recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Went in for a regular cleaning, during which a small sensitive area was detected on my gum. That prompted an x-ray check, finding an infected root canal which was not causing any pain, but was basically a ticking bomb waiting to explode. Prescribed anti-biotic and referred to a specialist to promptly take care of it before it becomes a serious issue. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Surfside sets the gold standard for dental practice. Every aspect of Surfside and every person that works there is great. They solved my split tooth the same day, whereas another practice was pushing a lot of other services and delaying my tooth repair three weeks. Oh, and a big bonus, Surfside was significantly less than the HMO practice.
Fantastic experience: We just moved and had our first visit here with our two children. The entire office was so friendly, quick, and efficient both kids left happy. We definitely will not be going anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: Always pleasant and courteous staff. Dr. Is thoughtful and listens to his patients. I have been a patient of his for over 29 years and would recommend him to everyone looking for a great family dentist.
Fantastic experience: Great office with a hometown feel. Staff and Doctor are friendly, diligent and knowledgeable. Prices are fair, and better than anything else, they are honest and not pushing unnecessary procedures.
Fantastic experience: Wow-never thought I’d ever have such a great experience for my 13 yr old daughter @ the dentist. The dental hygenists are just so great, patient, kind, and caring & do everything to make sure your comfortable.
