Polished General Dentistry

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly and professional group of ladies! It’s always very pleasant and smooth going when I have an appointment which is not the norm when going to the dentist. Job well done, ladies!!

Experiencia negativa: The communication from this office was unclear and disappointing. When the receptionist called to discuss insurance coverage, I expected a straightforward conversation about costs. Instead, I was given vague information about "other things" being out-of-pocket. When I asked for clarification on the appointment structure and ability to decline additional services, I was abruptly told I wasn't "a good fit" for the practice. I believe patients deserve transparency about treatment plans and associated costs before committing to appointments. The dismissive response to my reasonable questions was concerning. While I cannot comment on the quality of dental care, as my appointment was canceled, I hope the office will improve their communication with potential patients in the future. Clear information upfront about services, costs, and patient choices would go a long way in building trust.

Experiencia fantástica: So happy to have found a trustworthy, modern, clean dental office. We've received excellent care the past 4 years at Polished General Dentistry. Highly recommend Dr. Kim and the team!

Experiencia fantástica: Ashley, one the practice's great hygienist, cleaned my teeth yesterday. They're so bright I wear shades when I smile in the mirror. I'm old, I've been to lots of dentists, mostly good, but Polished Dentistry is in a league of its own. Recently, I underwent a complex and successful five hour procedure performed by Dr. Kim, assisted by Dental Techs Maddy and Mel. As in prior visits, I was highly impressed with the level of skill and professionalism displayed. My treatment resulted in very little discomfort and fast recovery. Polished General Dentistry is hands down the best dental practice I've experienced. Not only is this team, as well as others at the practice, top notch in dentistry, they're a warm bunch who plainly care for their patients and go to great lengths to keep them comfortable. Dr. Kim even sings along with the piped in music. He's good - not drive to Vegas, good - but more than ready for the local scene.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Kim and his staff are terrific. I came in for a crown his state of the art office was able to deliver a great crown and on same day. Would highly recommend Polished General Dentistry

Experiencia fantástica: Dr.Kim and his crew are top notch. When you first walk in, it doesn’t feel like you’re in a dentistry office, it almost feels like you’re in a spa of some sort. Feels relaxed, friendly and overall just good vibes in there. I’ve had my fair share of getting work done on my munchers and truthfully this place is on top. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: I have been coming here and seeing Dr. Kim for about three years. Unfortunately, my gums and teeth have required me to be here often. The office staff is very welcoming. Dr.Kim is very professional , but kind. Maddy who assisted him with my crown work was pretty awesome. Dr.Kim has all the latest equipment and my visits are pretty much pain free. I can say this since I do all my work without any anesthesia. One thing I really appreciate is that I never have to wait. I am always taken on time whether I am seeing the hygienist or Dr. Kim himself. I feel that is particularly important for those who experience dental anxiety.

Experiencia fantástica: I had the BEST experience at Polished! Mel was so smooth at handling all the details and Hallie was the best hygienist! Recommend them over and over! Best dental experience ever!!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been with Polished for almost as long as we’ve lived here, and Dr. Kim is an amazing dentist, and his team follows suit. He offers reasonable suggestions, and cares about dental health as a part of overall wellness. Highly recommend this practice.

Experiencia fantástica: The focus at Polished General Dentistry in educating the patient as well as keeping them as comfortable as possible is clearly their top priority. I had seen a family dentist for my whole life up until I moved and needed to find a new one. I ended up needing some cavities filled and saw them about 3 more times within the month. These dentists are using up-to-date technology, are all clearly educated and take your general anxieties very seriously. I am fortunate to not suffer from dental fears. Regardless, I was asked how I was feeling and doing each step of the way. Even if I didn't seem to be in distress, they made sure they were not pushing on something that hurt or made me uncomfortable. They even have tv's mounted to the ceilings for clients to watch cute animals while they work, if desired. The people at Polished are on top of their game and really seem to love helping others. They were all so friendly and personal with their patients that I felt refreshed in the soul as well as my teeth every time! I am so extremely satisfied with my experience there and would recommend them to anybody even a little anxious about their dental health. The folks at Polished General Dentistry are going to treat you very well.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Kim and his team of hygienists, techs, and office staff are always a pleasure from top to bottom. Helping me get in there smoothly and the experience is top notch while I’m getting taken care of, that day. I always leave there, better than I arrived. Thank you PGD

Experiencia fantástica: What a fantastic experience! I was with a dentist for 30 years, and they went out of network with my insurance. I found Polished General Dentistry and was impressed from the first moment. I’ve never seen such great technology that is centered around making the best experience for myself and other patients. My doctor was “watching” some teeth that turned out to have infection! Dr. Kim told me my risks of keeping the infected teeth in my mouth and I immediately had them extracted. Disappointed in my last dentist that he was being neglectful. This a a great dental office which I recommend to all my friends! Thanks for the great care Dr. Kim!

Experiencia fantástica: I was very pleased with Dr. Kim's office. I have never had such a thorough dental examination, and am very happy to have this office as my new dental home. Thank you, Jessica, Hailey, Dr. Kim, and Mel.

Experiencia fantástica: Polished dentistry is a beautiful state of art practice. Everyone is so professional and kind. I received same day crowns on 2 of my teeth. It was amazing how efficient and beautiful the results were. Dr. Kim is wonderful and his skill is impressive. I won’t get my dental work done anywhere else! 5 star all the way

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kim and his team at Polished Dentistry! From the minute I walked into the office I felt very welcomed and cared for. As someone who gets anxiety with dental work, the care I received made visits stress-free. Dr. Kim and Hailey were beyond communicative and always checked in along the way to make sure I felt comfortable. They take a preventative approach to oral health and I have noticed a huge change in the past 30 days since my initial consult. I never felt pressured to schedule appointments and Dr. Kim took the time to explain his recommendations and come up with a plan that would work for me. If you’re looking to up-level your oral health and get genuine care, Polished Dentistry is an excellent choice.

Experiencia fantástica: My Invisalign treatment worked very well, my teeth are straight and my bite feels the best ever. I still need quite a bit of work done and Dr Kim spent plenty of time explaining the procedures and the options for my treatment plan. I’m so glad he’s my dentist.

Experiencia negativa: Bad service, they only care about the money and not your teeth. They tried to do laser treatment on my teeth and I went to get a second opinion and they told me my teeth are okay. I never went back to Polished Dentistry.

Experiencia fantástica: Polished Dental is great! The dentists are skilled, they have the latest technology and equipment, the hygienists are very gentle, and the front office staff are thorough with explaining the treatment plans and helping with payments. I would definitely recommend Polished Dental to family and friends.

Experiencia fantástica: What a great place to get dental work done! If you’re like me and don’t love going to the dentist this is the place for you. They cater to your anxiety and even have a very easy conscious sedation pill to make getting crowns done a breeze. My appointment was schedule for 2 hours and I felt like I was there for 20 minutes! Go here if you have a fear of dentists because Dr Kim and his team are top-notch!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been here 3 times so far, and it's the best dental experience I've had. The entire staff is great, and they go the extra mile to ensure you're at ease and comfortable. I make the drive from LA to go here, and it's worth it every time!

Experiencia fantástica: My family has the APOE4 gene indicating a risk for Alzheimer's, so it is important to minimze toxins. My mercury-laced amalgams were in need of replacement so I searched for a local holistic dentist. Not only did Dr. Kim and staff create a plan to achieve my goal, but they identified some cracking teeth, and helped stabilize periodontal disease. With their state of the art technology, they keep me informed of progress at every step. Their hygenist is the best. Dr. Kim and all have given me a fighting chance. My oral health is much improved, and with whiter teeth, I smile with confidence. If you have a need for holistic dentistry, Dr. Kim and staff are winners. They have become ongoing trusted partners in my overall health. Thank you!!!

Experiencia fantástica: The absolute friendliest of staff!! I have always walked out of the office feeling taken care of and appreciated! So thankful for the work that they did, as extensive as it was, whenever a problem arose they fit me right in to help solve the issue.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had amazing service at Polished General Dentisty. Everyone who works there is incredibly friendly and helpful. I’ve had cleanings, fillings, crowns… it’s a great location to have your dental services performed!

Experiencia fantástica: Polished dentists have put crowns or caps on my 4 major molars both top and bottom. Great work, latest tools and technology. Friendly staff. Great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is so great! Everyone that works there is amazing. I used to have horrible anxiety regarding dental visits due to so many poor experiences. Now, I look forward to routine visits. They truly go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. What's more, their work is phenomenal.

Experiencia fantástica: Kids felts so comfortable and at ease here. The staff is wonderful and happy. We had a great experience here at Polished General Dentistry. Everything is clean, organized, and aesthetically pleasing.

Experiencia fantástica: Super clean environment.The views from the treatment rooms are amazing State of the art equipment which makes me feel taken care of. Staff are all very happy and pleasant to interact with.

Experiencia fantástica: Most thorough dentist I’ve ever been too with the sweetest staff. Dr Kim and Dr Robbins are both amazing and make going to the dentist less scary!

Experiencia fantástica: Polished General Dentistry always makes me feel so comfortable whenever I go in for a cleaning or have to have work done. Everyone is super nice and very personable. They always ask about my family and the things we talked about from the previous visit. Highly recommend!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I was very impressed with the professional, yet warm and inviting environment of Polished Dentistry. I was seen quickly for a painful tooth and given care in a timely manner. Also, a treatment plan was discussed for future care to prevent further damage to my teeth. The last important point I would like to make is the follow up after the procedure was fantastic.Appreciate Dr. Kim talking about the procedures he is doing in a way that is very clear and easy to understand. I feel very confident with the care that Dr. Kim provides.

Experiencia fantástica: So thankful that Dr. Kim took over this practice!! He’s an excellent dentist, very personable and fun! I love the staff as well. Liz has been in the last 3 dental offices I’ve been to.. From Dr. Mananquil to Dr. Shelton and now with Dr. Kim! I love Theresa, Gisele Charlotte and Melissa! I would recommend Polished General Dentistry to my family and friends..it was my daughter and son-in-law who recommended PGD!

Experiencia fantástica: Clean. Top of the line technology. Best experience I’ve had. Going to this office is LITERALLY a no brainer. Dr. Robbins and Dr. Kim are efficient, gentle and knowledgeable. Front desk staff are kind and communicative. Extremely well run office. 10/10. Just make an appointment and you’ll see what I mean.

Experiencia negativa: Very disappointed, I don't have insurance and I wanted a deep cleaning; they took the x-rays, and found multiple problems on my teeth, i needed 2 crowns, i have multiple cavities, they told me I needed invisalings, told me I had crooked teeth. I got like super worried. It was so much money, more than 12.000 usd, so I asked them for my x-rays for going to another dentist a second opinion, they kind of didn't like it but gave it to me, they sent x-rays that were not mine, and other that were mine, so the other dentist had to take new x-rays again to make sure my real theet, the new dentist told me, I don't have cavities, y don't have crooked teeth, I don't need crowns, just change my fillings, and I don't need invisalings, so I didn't need 12.000 anymore, just a deep cleaning and change my fillings, just 700... and as the diagnostic was so different , I decided to take a 3rd opinion, and the 3rd doctor said the same as the second doctor. I just needed clean and change my fillings... the other dentist conclusion... Unethical practice....

Experiencia fantástica: I have been with Polished General Dentistry for years and they are the only practice allowed to work on my mouth. I, like most people, was not a fan of that dreaded dentist appointment but everyone at Polish has made me feel so comfortable. From the front desk as soon as I walk in, to the hygienist and doctor in the back, to the consultation room and payment planning everyone has a smile on their face and ensures I feel relaxed. It’s 5 star treatment all around!

Experiencia negativa: I’ve given this dentist office a try for the past year but am finally calling it quits and finding another dentist. I have never seen dental bills so high and I have never been constantly pressured to buy $30 toothpaste at any other dentist office. This office feels like a scam. The high bills are justified by a blanket statement that it is their “standard of care” to do x, y, and z. I would urge anyone who has received a treatment plan from Polished to get a second opinion from another dentist prior to moving forward. I received a second opinion at a dentist office abroad and paid a couple of hundred instead of a couple thousand dollars for the work I needed done on my teeth. The dentist also questioned why Polished was recommending me to have certain teeth drilled down and a crown applied when a filling would suffice (my teeth weren’t in any pain). My assumption is because they are more interested in revenue than providing appropriate healthcare.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been afraid of dentists for years due to past visits with rough dentists. A friend recommended Polished General Dentistry and I could not be more thankful! I finally faced my fears and yesterday was my first appointment to get my mouth back in shape. I was in the chair for 4 hours and am blown away with how gentle they were and how little discomfort I am feeling the day after. I can not thank you all enough! You were kind, gentle and your work is impeccable! I highly recommend this office for all of your dental needs. They are phenomenal!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to visit my family in California I live in North Carolina and the North Carolina Dentistry are only open Monday through Thursday ininwhich California has better opportunities better hours and much much better service I went to this dental office and had the utmost treatment care amazing service , that when come back home to California and need more dental work I would definitely wait and see the dentist said I seen she was amazing. The whole staff was very caring, explaining everything to you . I definitely give the 100 stars...excellent all around. Thank Staff

Experiencia fantástica: Had my first appointment here and I was blown away. There was plenty of parking and it’s easy to find, it’s the first place inside. Clean, modern, dental office with new equipment. The X-rays were taken with a small handheld machine, which was a first for me. They also took pictures, and did a digital scan of my mouth which they could then model to show me a pressure map of my bite. I mean, there’s a tv on the ceiling, I was impressed. They pressure washed my teeth clean and blasted my gums with lasers leaving my mouth feeling cleaner than It ever has. Not to mention the staff it so professional and kind, they use star-trek style communicators to make sure every part of the operation runs as smooth as can be. I showed up with the mouth of a peasant and we are going to create the mouth of a king. Allen Kim is the best dentist around, I drove to Fresno to see him before. It’s so important to be able to trust your dentist. I’ve been burned before and for the first time I’m actually excited to return to the dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: Saw Dr. Kim as a first time patient after falling and breaking one of my front teeth. His office was able to get me an appointment the very next day! Everyone was amazing from the front office staff to the hygienists. I was so nervous because I’d never had any emergency dental work done, but Shar and Theresa took great care of me and made the whole process a lot less scary. Dr. Kim was kind, gentle, and empathetic. He checked in with me regularly while fixing my tooth and made sure I wasn’t having pain. Most importantly, he fixed my smile to the point where you cannot even tell that half my tooth is fake! I highly recommend Dr. Kim and everyone at Polished Dentistry!

Experiencia fantástica: The dentists and staff are so nice! they are very accommodating, I have anxiety going to the dentist but they made sure I was comfortable which made the times going there enjoyable :)!

Experiencia fantástica: We had an emergency & Kim got us in less than hour later. She was super sweet & informative got us everything we needed. They will be our new dentist for our Daughter here in Cali while she’s going to School. Dr. Robinson amazing as well!! Thank you for being so sweet & helping us so fast!

Experiencia fantástica: I am very very nervous about the dentist and have always had a fear. They out did any expectations I could have to better my experience. Everyone was so so sweet and very informative on what was going on. The care they showed me was incredible I can’t thank them enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing service like always. The whole team always provides excellent dental care and are very welcoming. I've been receiving services here for about a year now. They are very through, professional and educational. They're always looking out for your well being. I'm looking forward to my next appointment with them. Even though I don't live in the area I am happy to make the trip for exceptional dental care. Highly recommend this family practice!

Experiencia negativa: I’m sure this practice is great if you are wealthy or have insane dental insurance, but if you’re an average person, please go elsewhere. I wish I’d looked at the negative reviews before going because my experience was nearly the exact same. I recently moved and saw my old dentist right before I left with no issues. Suddenly here, my teeth are rotting out of my head and I need $1500 of work done to save them. Got a second opinion at a HIGHER RATED dentistry and I have two minor cavities. Also had the grossest cleaning of my life here with water running down my face constantly. Their buzz phrase is “our standard of care is higher than other dentists” (you’ll hear it at least 100 times) and you can tell that the hygienists and other staff are essentially speaking from a script. I asked for copies of my X-rays and they said they’d send them and then they never did. They also told me if I saw another dentist I couldn’t come back to them What a joke. Again, if you have thousands of dollars to spend for perfect teeth, good for you! I’m sure this is how they weed out not wealthy patients so they have consistent money coming in. But for the rest of us, please find somewhere less gimmicky. They are sales people first and dental professionals second.

Experiencia fantástica: Best dental experience I've ever had. The staff was incredibly kind and took the time to answer all my questions and explain the reason why I was experiencing certain issues with my teeth. 10/10 would recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: My fiancé found this office for me after having a bad experience with a chain dentist. I’ve ALWAYS hated going to the dentist ever since I was young. This place has changed the way I see dentist appointments. I don’t dread coming here. Everyone is so incredibly welcoming. They do an incredible job putting you at ease. They explain everything to you before doing anything. The office is clean and up to date on the latest technology. They don’t guilt you if you’ve been slacking on flossing. It’s clear they care about their patients and aren’t just trying to make money. I would highly recommend this office to anyone and everyone. Mel and Dr. Kim have treated me very well here and I couldn’t be happier with their care.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was absolutely amazing. I've never been so satisfied after the dentist in my life. My teeth look and feel great. Such a comfortable atmosphere.

Experiencia fantástica: I've always had such a great experience here. If I could give 10 stars I would. My babysitter cancelled last minute so I brought my son and the receptionists watched him for two hours in the front, giving him snacks and holding him while I got a crown put on. This place goes above and beyond. Even before bringing my son, it felt like a family environment. I fully trust everyone here and it's nice to walk into the friendly, happy culture that they have created. 10/10.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Robbins was absolutely amazing! She talked me through my whole dental cavity filling experience. She made sure I was super comfortable and numb before she started. I definitely recommend her and polished dentistry because they are great.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience going to Polished Dentistry. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable. After avoiding a dentist for years, I was given a full explanation of what procedures they recommended and explanation of why. They put the pictures and X-rays on the screen so we could walk through them together. In a matter of days I had my introduction appointment and all cleanings/procedures taken care of. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: Very happy with my experience thus far! I started with a cleaning and decided to get Invisalign after putting it off for years. They've made this process seamless and are true professionals. Everyone I've interacted with has been amazing and takes the time to answer all my questions (especially when it comes to insurance and out of pocket costs). I've never felt so comfortable at a Dental office before and am very grateful to have found them!

Experiencia fantástica: Great loving amazing team! They made me teeth so much more perfect than before! They took the time to examine my teeth and fixed imperfection to perfection. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a team that goes above and beyond to make sure your teeth are perfect. I’m happy with my results!

Experiencia fantástica: I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of work from Dr. Kim and your staff. I'm so happy to be a patient of yours. My only regret is that I didn't find you sooner. I'm in the best care that anyone could possibly have. I will recommend your office to anyone that has an issue with their dental care. Your hi-tech office is beyond words. Having new crowns the same day was a blessing and the care of your staff with every detail was exceptional. Thank you Dr. Kim for checking up on me last night. It was very thoughtful.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Polished General Dentistry for my one year old son and I absolutely loved the visit. We felt welcome from the start. The receptionist was so kind and very attentive to our needs! All of the dental staff were so patient and gentle with my son. Overall we loved the visit and I will be making my appointments as well as my son's at this office from now on!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kim was great as well as his team. You can feel a genuine sense of authenticity and happiness in the building. The staff were great communicators throughout my numerous visits. They took personal time to follow up on my post surgery status, demonstrating an outstanding sense of care and passion to their work. Dr. Kim and his staff worked with a smooth hand, I could barely tell they were operating. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: There truly aren't enough great things to say about Polished General Dentistry. I've probably seen over a dozen dentists in my life and have always had anxiety about having dental procedures done. This team is warm and welcoming from the second that you walk in the door. I'm always telling people how I actually look FORWARD to going to the dentist now that I've found this amazing practice. They explain things with compassion and patience, ultimately helping you to make the best possible decisions for your dental care. Their office is state of the art and all of the assistants, hygienists, and doctors invest deeply in perfecting their craft to give their patients the best possible care. Would recommend them to anyone and everyone - you won't regret letting these amazing people take care of your smile.

Experiencia fantástica: Being a traveler sometimes makes it hard to find a good dentist. My friend recommend this dentist and I couldn’t be happier that I went here. I had to do a root canal treatment and a crown. Their service was extremely good and they were all so kind. I highly recommend this dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: I trust PGD with all of dental needs, and I’ve had plenty. Not only is the staff amazing, they all really know what they’re doing and use a lot of cutting edge technology which helps with speed of visit, comfortability, accuracy, and efficiency.

Experiencia fantástica: I would have to move to the East Coast to switch Dentists. Top notch knowledge, quality care, and a tolerance for my humor; I hated dental visits until I became a patient of Polished.

Experiencia fantástica: From start to finish my visit was a pleasant experience. Are you allowed to say that about the dentist? The knowledge, skill, and high tech equipment made for a pain-free cleaning experience. Check in and out was a breeze and I couldn't have waited more than 3 minutes to be called back for my appointment. If you are nervous visiting the dentist, I highly recommend polished general dentistry and Dr. Kim.

Experiencia fantástica: I have never enjoyed going to the dentist, but now I think its because I have never been to a good one! This is the best dental experience I have had in a decade. From the moment you walk-in and speak with the receptionist, you feel like family. The dentists and hygienists are very kind and make sure you are comfortable throughout your procedure (I have a small mouth and they were very patient when I needed to rest my jaw). Though I do not typically look forward to dentist visits, I greatly appreciate the atmosphere and customer service that comes with being a patient at Polished General Dentistry. Highly recommend coming here for all your dental needs, you will not regret your decision.

Experiencia fantástica: Having had several terrible experiences with dental work in the past, I was hesitant to try again. Polished General has COMPLETELY changed my outlook on dentistry and I would give them more than 5 stars if possible. The team is caring, knowledgeable, and the comfort of their patient is their primary concern. If you're terrified of dentist like I was, definitely give them a call!!

Experiencia fantástica: Polished dentistry is so professional and modern. They use top of the line techniques and you are guided through your appointment from start to finish. I highly recommend this business to anyone

Experiencia fantástica: I am having a great experience at this office. The personnel at this office are friendly and willing to assist you in anything you need. If you are unsure about something about your treatment plans or their practices and they will gladly they the time to explain them to you.

Experiencia fantástica: I am someone who really struggles with dental work. The staff and doctor made me feel very comfortable, and were very understanding of my anxiety. Everything was explained to me, and they were very patient and answered all my questions. I have also never had a more thorough dental cleaning in my life. Very grateful for the kind experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been coming to Polished since 2018 and have never had a bad experience! I’ve even done my Invisalign process here and feel so happy with my results. I’ve always had anxiety around dentistry after some not great experiences in young adulthood and feel like I’ve finally found my best provider!

Experiencia fantástica: Today I was greeted by Kim, a.k.a. Kim Possible, with the most courteous and professional manner. I had my teeth cleaned by Theresa whom I would recommend to anyone! I've also met the new owner, Dr. Kim, who immediately put me at ease. Definitely a family run dentistry that I would recommend to everyone! ______________ 2019 This is my 6th year going to Dr. Shelton - amazing, caring, and professional dentist - did I mention pain-free? Today, I had Anna clean my teeth and she did such an amazing job! I felt as though i was in a spa, just laid back and enjoyed being taken care of. I highly recommend Anna and Dr. Shelton to anyone who is afraid of the dentist as well as to anyone who wishes to have the best dentistry care in Carlsbad.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kim and his staff were great. I feel I am In great hands and will get a honest opinion of what needs to be done properly to fix any dental issues.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Shelton is caring and thorough. She patiently answered any questions I had and made sure that I understood my treatment plan. Always an easy and pain free experience.

Experiencia positiva: Been coming for over a year and it’s always very friendly and welcoming. Dental work can be intimidating at times and the dr, assistants, and hygienists are all very informative and relaxing.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Dr. Sheldon for several years and had always been a very pleasant experience. Very friendly and professional staff. Dr. Sheldon and her staff make me feel at home and they truly have my best interest in mind.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kim is where it is AT! I was a patient of Dr. Shelton's and I will be honest I was nervous about switching to Dr. Kim. If you know Dr. Shelton, she is a joy to work with and is SO knowledgeable about every aspect of treatment (and beyond) so measuring up to that was something I wasn't sure was going to happen. However, I met with Dr. Kim yesterday and he blew me away with his over all demeanor and care for his patients. He was so efficient while maintaining the opportunity to build a relationship with me, and to do phenomenal work. I will forever be a patient of Dr. Kim's and polished general dentistry will always have my highest recommendation when it comes to excellence in dentistry.

Experiencia fantástica: Great practice, very sweet and friendly! They're seeing me through my invisalign journey and I 100% will recommend the hands on experience and guidance of a trained dental expert. This experience is definitely not something you should DIY with some online company.

Experiencia fantástica: Go Here!!! First of all I am not a big fan of the dentist however polished dentistry really is amazing and I really don’t mind coming to the dentist. The staff is super friendly. I wish I would have gone to a dentist like Dr. Shelton and Dr.Kim years ago. I cannot say enough good things about place. I have actually had to bring my child with me and the whole office was more than happy to help and I cannot stress how relieved I was. Again if you need a dentist you need to come to this place. Your teeth will thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been treated at Polished General Dentistry for a year now. When I first came in I found out I was in bad shape with my oral health. After many visits, one large procedure and multiple maintenance, my health is a complete 180. All the staff I have worked with have been kind, gentle, and take a genuine interest in your journey.

Experiencia fantástica: This feedback is long overdue. We’ve been with Polished General Dentistry since 2016 and all my experiences were nothing but great. All staff (apologies I’m not good with names ✌) from the front desk, insurance specialist, dental hygienists, and Dr. Shelton (and her counterpart) have been professional and at the same time friendly while addressing all my concerns. I highly recommend them to family and friends .

Experiencia fantástica: Just started going here a few months ago and really like it! It's rare to find a good dentist that makes you feel comfortable and doesn't pressure you into extra procedures. The technology they use here is by far the best I've seen! Staff is super welcoming and friendly!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing staff and always helpful. The staff is always friendly and great with answering all your questions and concerns. I recommend if your looking for a great dentist with amazing staff this is the place to go.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Polished General Dentistry for a few years now, and I’m so glad I did. They are professional and honest. I love coming here, my smile has never looked better!

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful dentist and staff. Very professional, competent, friendly. We know that we are in good hands with Dr. Shelton. She is a meticulous dentist and her artistry is impeccable.

Experiencia fantástica: I would say in general I am a nervous dentist goer, but I had a highly pleasant experience at Polished General Dentistry. I had to get a crown, and fairly extensive cavity filled... and I didn't feel a thing. They did a great job. Very glad I ended up in their office and not somewhere else for all that work that I needed to get done. (Last above was after my first visit with them.) **UPDATE** Just had my second procedure done today, and it went excellently. All the staff are super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They just cemented my loyalty ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Glad I found a dental office who seem to really care about my continued oral health. They lay out their plan for your best path forward to best dental care for your mouth and they don't pressure you if you want to hold off on a procedure.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Shelton has been our favorite dentist ! Great staff and friendly, we are excited to get to know the new dentist taking over Dr.Allen Kim super nice, smart and down to earth. Same great experience as always

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic Dentist! Great staff. Very knowledgeable, passionate, gentle. Best dental experience I have ever had. They ensure that you are comfortable and pain free. They use the top technology to ensure the best outcome. They even have TVs on the ceilings to entertain you during the procedures. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to use them!

Experiencia fantástica: After years of avoiding the dentist I came to polished in need of some serious help and Dr. Shelton really came through with a plan to get me back on track. She helped me not to feel overwhelmed and nobody shamed me for not going to the dentist for years haha! I’ve had the best experience so far!! Everyone has been so nice and helpful and I feel very relaxed at Polished! I really like the open layout they have so you don’t feel all alone and nobody is in a private (too quiet) room. Loving it so far and looking forward to getting my teeth 100% healthy again :-)

Experiencia positiva: My journey with Dr. Shelton is still new however I am so far very pleased with my experiences. The staff is phenomenal and so friendly. I’ve been dealing with previous issues of a placed implant and it seems they may have found the cause and are being very proactive in my care. I am sure my continued work and time with the office will continue to be great.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Shelton is incredible. Cannot sing her praises enough! Our whole family is now at Polished General Dentistry. My husband and I have had a few “less than ideal” experiences at prior dentists. Dr. Shelton had always been super gentle, talks us through any procedure, and has always been honest and fair.

Experiencia fantástica: Love the people here. Everyone is so nice and gentle with me. I finally found a dentist that I feel comfortable with. For years I was terrified of the dentist and this place really eased me out of that fear. Theresa is fantastic! Dr. Megan is also very sweet. If you need a new dentist or want to try a new one, this is the place!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely fantastic staff and atmosphere. Upon arriving to the office, I was eagerly greeted by Kimberly. She was upbeat, kind, witty and was a fantastic introduction to the Polished General Dentistry community. After I was checked in and taken back by Theresa, I was informed of all the details on the health of my teeth together with Dr. Shelton who is also very warm and pays very close attention to detail. Pavlina the hygienist was also so kind, personable and confident in her skills! She knew what she was doing, and made sure that I left better than when I came in. Gisela and Char were also fantastic! They made the environment even friendlier with their light heartedness and abilities to efficiently multitask. The interaction with the team left me feeling confident that I would be well taken care of and that my smile will be where I want it to be in the future. I would refer this place to anyone who is looking for excellent care, attention to detail and a welcoming environment.

Experiencia negativa: I do not write reviews often and I do not like writing bad reviews, but I want to save others from spending thousands of dollars on their teeth that is not necessary. I went into Polished Dentistry for the first time 2 weeks ago for a routine cleaning. I decided to go here based on their overall great reviews after moving here earlier this year. I had my last cleaning 6 months ago with no issues and I had no complaints at all about my teeth going into the appointment. Their office is very nice and everyone was very friendly at first, but after meeting with the dentist she told me I had 4 cavities and 3 other teeth to fill before they became cavities. She also laid out a list of other things wrong with my teeth including needing Invisalign and new teeth. I was so overwhelmed. She asked if I had any questions and I said how much would all of this cost, I wasn't expecting to have any issues and she estimated around $17,000! I was in complete shock and told her I was very overwhelmed and never expected to spend that much on my teeth at my age. She had no sympathy and said "the money always comes from somewhere." I left without making an appointment to fix my "problems" because they wanted a $100 per hour of work deposit. I needed time to digest all the bad news. I was depressed and couldn't sleep that night. I decided to get a second opinion (something I've never done before) before I spent $17000. I went to the highest rated dentist in Carlsbad on Yelp and sent them my XRays from Polished. He told me that not only do I have no cavities but he wouldn't do anything to my teeth even if they were his or his kids teeth!!! He was very surprised when I showed him my quote from Polished after he did my exam. I could not believe it!!! I lost so much sleep over what Polished told me and I just want to prevent anyone else from being scammed by them!

Experiencia fantástica: I am so energized by my initial visit and finally felt like I was being taken care of. 4 years - 3 different dentists and zero progress has been made with my TMJ ailments to date. Finally, I am hopeful and extremely encouraged by the plan set in place after just 1 visit with Polished General Dentistry. Technological advances DO exist for treating and eliminating the root of your ailments- (you do not have to settle for just treating symptoms.) Stay Tuned!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Shelton and her staff are like family. I spend more time there then I do with my own family! They are caring, professional, funny, nice and overall have your best interest at heart. Dr. Shelton never tries to sell you on something you do not need and is very thorough in explaining what you do need and why. I have what I like to call "old" teeth and I can't thank them enough for all that they have done for me- from cleanings, to Invisalign, to teeth whitening, to getting rid of old metal fillings, to veneers. I actually have a nice smile now! Thank you!

Experiencia positiva: Good service and friendly staff. Has been a pleasant experience so far. My only qualm is that two treatment plans are not presented, especially when asked to give a more budget friendly plan. It seems like they care about getting paid first and my out of pocket costs seem to pile up even though I have dental insurance.

Experiencia fantástica: The best dental experience I’ve ever had! I feel safe and cared for here at Polished and I am proud of my dental health growth over the last year thanks to all the women I have met and have helped me fix up several cavities, gingivitis, root canals, and now I’m getting ready for my invisalign now that my teeth are healthy. Thank you for the best service ever!

Experiencia fantástica: I was searching of a new dentist and am very glad I chose Polished Dentistry. The staff is welcoming, friendly and professional. I am most impressed by the equipment and the technology at this facility. Since I am in need of extensive dental work, having a caring and supportive team to guide me is important.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful team and highly educated team. Their tech-forward, family office makes booking for myself and my daughter super easy. My initial consultation was engaging and informative. The Polished team educated me on ways dental hygiene could reveal underlying health issues, or how specific preventative care could save me a ton of time and money down the road. All around great experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been putting off going to the dentist for years due to not having it apart of my yearly routine growing up! I had fears of going to the dentist, which affected my overall health…I am now 29 years old and about roughly two years ago finally got the courage to make that call and step foot in a dental office! If it wasn’t for an amazing friend who recommend polished General dentistry to me I would’ve never met dr. Shelton and her amazing staff! I felt welcomed as soon as I walked into her office and all fears went away…never once have I felt ashamed or embarrassed about how my teeth were! With my husband being in the military I was worried we would get stationed some place else while I was in the process of periodontal treatment and other dental care, but thankfully we are stationed here longer! I’m in the final stage of my journey and I’m so thankful Dr. Shelton is who I get to share this life changing experience with! My confidence and my self esteem in taking pictures or just talking to people is something I never thought I would have, and my admiration for working in the dental field has grown! Dr. Shelton has changed my life and I’m so incredibly thankful! Not only is it her job, but she truly cares for each and everyone of her patience as does the rest of her staff!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Shelton saves the day yet again. My tooth sensitivity was alarming me so she took care of it.. reminds me why I have been a patient since the practice was opened. She really makes it her mission to be there for patients and give the best possible care. I appreciate her so much.

Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist EVER! I am always skeptical about dentists and the things they recommend but honestly this is the best my teeth have ever looked and felt! I haven’t always been the best at my oral care and have had some bad experiences with dentists and although in the beginning I was hesitant about some of the things recommended to me from Polished I went through with it and can honestly tell you they know their stuff! The difference after treatments you can feel and see. For the first time ever I can tell my teeth and gums are super healthy. Dr. Shelton is honest about what you need and does not recommend anything unnecessary that won’t improve your oral health I promise. It may not be what you want to hear but it IS what you need. I can say that from experience. I couldn’t be happier with the way my teeth look and feel!

Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist in Carlsbad.....probably in all of California! State of the art equipment and very professional and courteous people. No need to search any further for a dentist. Dr. Sheldon and the staff are exceptional
