Fantastic experience: Just the kindest, caring and knowledgeable people working there who put you at ease. This coming from someone who definitely has a bit of phobia when it comes dentists.
Fantastic experience: In the past I dreaded going to the dentist. I look forward to my visits at Dr. Christina Thompson's practice. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a warm and compassionate place for your dental needs. I used to live in the OC. Worth the drive, but now I reside in North County San Diego. Thank you
Fantastic experience: When you find an honest and talented dentist you want to shout it to the roof tops! That’s what I’m doing now! Dr. Thompson is an amazing skilled Dentist that is also a master Cosmetic Dentist! She gets compliments from other dentist and periodontists as well. She does Invisalign and every procedure you can imagine. She also has dental labs that make your smile look like a million bucks. There are good labs and then there are phenomenal labs. She uses the best ones but affordable without compromising esthetics or durability. Her office is immaculate and they clean after every patient so there is virtually no risk for exposure to anything. She also treats her staff so respectfully and friendly. I saw one of her many hygienist named McKenzie who did a very thorough yet gentle cleaning! The front office staff member Brittney is welcoming and professional and who keeps the office running smoothly. I absolutely love this dentist and hope you will establish Dr. Thompson as your new dentist!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Thompson and her staff are the best. So kind and knowledgable. Highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Thompson's office is always extremely professional. Their identical hygienist are top-notch. I have a very high maintenance cleaning procedure that needs to be done every three months. Over the past three years they have delivered on every occasion.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had an excellent experience with this office over the years — easily the best dental practice I’ve been to. The front desk is consistently organized and professional, the hygienists are thorough and personable, and the entire office runs smoothly. Dr. Thompson has a rare combination of gentleness, patience, and clear communication, and the quality of her work on crowns and replacement fillings has been outstanding.
Fantastic experience: Just had another awesome cleaning and checkup with Dr Thompson and Makena. I’ve been a patient here for several years now and have sent multiple clients and friends to this office. I always receive a thank you for the great referral to a dentist that’s a keeper. :) Dr Thompson is patient, diligent, kind, strong yet gentle, and always professional. She is honest and truly cares about her patients and staff. Even my elderly clients (90 year old plus) absolutely LOVE and trust her. True story- I once fell asleep while Dr Christina was filling a cavity! Lol. She made sure I was comfortable and put a wedge so I didn't have to strain my jaws to keep my mouth open. She also offered noise canceling earphones so I could just relax during the procedure! I am grateful to have found this dental practice!

I can't recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Very clean and friendly environment. Summer always does an excellent job of cleaning my teeth (even the coffee and blueberry stains :), while also being very gentle. Dr. Thompson has a very calm and gentle demeanor and is very thorough! Love how they always ask about my kids and remember details and important family events!
Fantastic experience: Always a positive experience in this dental practice. The staff are all very capable and friendly. Excellent handling of insurance and billing. Our family has used this dental office since before Dr. Thompson became the principal dentist, and the ownership transition was seamless. We loved this dental practice before, and continue to do so. 6/11/24 Adding a note about Dr. Thompson's staff attentiveness. I recently had a concern about an uncomfortable tooth, and called to see if I could get a quick appointment before a weekend. Dr. Thompson happened to be out of town, so I couldn't be seen. In the end, I resolved my issue at home, but the staff member called back to check on me twice before and after the weekend to make sure my issues were resolved. Above and beyond service!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Thompson and all of her staff are quite amazing and I would highly recommend her too anyone that's needs dental care .

Fantastic experience: Dr. Thompson and her team have been my family's dentist for a few years and we couldn't be happier! Excellent facilities, amazing staff!
