Purely Dental Encinitas

This was the most comprehensive, informative and friendly dentist visit I’ve ever had. The equipment is state of the art, the friendliness of the staff is second to none, and the comfort I felt in their care was phenomenal. Instead of just looking at the current state of your dental hygiene and fixing as you go we created a long term care plan with areas of focus to care for my teeth the right way. I only regret I didn’t come sooner!

I have been a long time patient of Dr. Salazar and when he moved his practice to Encinitas from San Carlos I didn’t hestitste to follow him. When you find a good dentist you try to keep them. He is not interested in just dental work but dental health and keeping your teeth as long as possible. He’s a true professional.

By far the best dental experience one could ask for. Dr Salazar is so professional and has mastered the art of cosmetic dentistry. From reading another review, I completely agree on the fact that Dr Salazar can not only diagnosis and perform amazing work, but the way he breaks it all down and explains everything always makes perfect sense. I trust all of his recommendations, and am confident that all the work done will be amazing. Caroline at the front desk is always on top of things, and will always greet you with the warmest smile. Had my teeth cleaned recently and I was impressed with how thorough, yet gentle and compassionate the hygienist was. Look no further than Purely Dental for all your dental hygiene/​health needs! They are the best!

Me and my 3 daughters go to Purely Dental. My 3 girls get their teeth cleaned by Dr. Schreiner and they adore her. I even had mine cleaned with Dr. Schreiner and she was so gentle! She also taught us each a technique or 2 that could help in our dental hygiene and keep our teeth in good condition. Dr. Salazar and I have spent the last 8 months restoring my mouth and if I had to do it all over again I wouldn’t do it with anyone but Dr. Salazar. Their state of the art new office in Encinitas is beautiful and the warmth that you are greeted with by Caroline at the front desk starts every visit off right! These are not your typical dentist. They genuinely care and their work is superb. I am so happy I found this office for me and my family!

The staff at Purely Dental is one of the most accommodating and friendly I have ever encountered. They worked around my crazy work schedule, and my 2 kid’s school schedule to take care of us all. The new office is gorgeous, modern and comfortable. A trip to the dentist is usually painful in soooooo many ways…$$ ouch! However… this is NOT the case here! And the flat-​screen TV’s with the ability to actually watch your mouth being worked on while reclining in a very comfortable chair is top notch! Purely Dental is a welcome addition to the Encinitas area.

Purely Dental in Encinitas is hands down the best dental practice! I have been a patient of the Salazar’s for years and would drive any distance for their dental services. The office has state of the art equipment with the latest technology. Every procedure is thoroughly explained and documented on the flat screen. I always have piece of mind while I’m in the chair because I know what ever issue I am having is properly addressed and corrected. It’s hard to find a trustworthy dentist and my confidence is 110% with them. My entire family comes to Purely Dental and we will continue to do so for years to come.

The best dental experience I have had. Often going to a dentist is like going to a mechanic. They tell you that you need thousands of dollars in service, but you really have no idea why. They could tell you the fetzer valve needs to be replaced and you have no frame of reference or way to know how necessary it really is. Dr. Salazar documents everything so well and presents it very thoroughly and clearly. After my consult I had a very clear picture of my dental health and my needs.
I also feel that Dr. Salazar takes a much more holistic approach to dental health. When he talks about a fix for a tooth, he discusses the impact that will have on the rest of your mouth. It needs to be viewed as part of the whole. The problem I had at my previous dentist was that he made adjustments to accommodate a new crown he had made, to the detriment of other teeth.
I have never before recommended a dentist. I am happy to recommend Dr. Salazar.

I recently switched dentists looking for a practice that would suit my whole family. I was referred to Dr. Salazar and Dr. Schreiner through friends and was not disappointed. Brand new office, state of the art equipment and extremely professional. My first interactions were with Carolyn, their office manager. Upon our first call, I was able to e-​mail her my old dental records, insurance information and general questions. The check-​in process with a tablet was easy and quick. Upon meeting both dentists, they gave my a tour of their practice. It’s beautiful! My first appointment was a complete comprehensive visit which included x-​rays and analysis of my teeth. In my 30+ years of dental treatment, I have never had such a thorough exam.
I followed up with a cleaning by Dr. Schreiner. Prior to starting our cleaning, we went in consultation room and discussed my comprehensive visit. She asked me questions that I’ve never thought about or assumed were obvious. Yet in asking, they made me really think about my long term dental health. Just like my other Doctors. Although she is a dentist, at this time she is performing the hygienist duties until they hire someone for their office. She did a great cleaning and my x-​rays were painless. After my second visit I knew this was a great fit for my family. I scheduled cleanings for my two young children. Dr. Schreiner saw my Daughter and Dr. Salazar my Son. The both had x-​rays and the process was easy compared to prior experiences. Very gentle with the kids and easy for me. All was fine with my Daughter, but my Son has a cavity. We scheduled a follow-​up appointment to fix the cavity. Dr. Salazar answered all my Son’s questions (he asks allot), told him everything he was doing, they have TV’s in every room with every channel available, therefore my Son put the ear phones and didn’t hear the sound of the equipment. He didn’t even realize he had been given a shot! At dinner that night my husband asked our Son how the shot was and my Son adamantly told his Dad, «I didn’t get a shot!» Pretty funny, cause he did. Just shows you how gentle and precise the work was. Best of all is the honestly that I feel i’m receiving. I have had such horrible pediatric dental experience at our prior dentist, in my gut I knew stuff the pediatric dentist wanted to do to my kids was not honest dentistry. With Dr. Schreiner and Dr. Salazar I felt a good vibe, open and honest communication and I trust that I’ve made the right decision in switching our family to this dental office.

Purely Dentai is the only place to go. I am amazed how Dr. Salazar & Dr. Scheiner have set up their practice. I’m 38 years old and I have never been educated about my mouth and all of the functioning parts to the mouth that affect the teeth. I was able to watch what was happening on the 60″+ TV screen. I didn’t even know a tooth camera existed until I went to Purely Dental. I was able to see every nook & cranny in all of my teeth. That was the most amazing experience for me.
Since, I have been telling all of my friends and family, they need to switch dentists and go to Purely Dental. The staff is wonderful and the office is beautiful in every way.

My wife and I have used Dr Salazar and Dr Schreiner for years and we just went to the new office in Encinitas. It is AMAZING. State of the art in every way. The care is wonderful and we feel taken care of. I have had Invisalign and my teeth are great. Can’t say enough great things about both of these dentists and the staff.

Purely Dental is a new office in the Encinitas, they are right next to AAA so it makes it easy to find. This is a new office for Dr Salazar and Dr Scheiner. Their office is super modern and high tech from the Tablet check-​in to the fixtures and design. I got a tour of their new office before Dr Scheiner did my cleaning and I was super impressed with how clean and perfect everything was situated. They showed me there new X-​ray machine, it was super high tech 360 degree scanning of your entire mouth guess there will be no more of that sticking those films in my mouth pose here bite there which will be a relief for me cause that is one of the worst parts of the dentist.
I think normally you would have a hygienist clean your teeth but since this is a new office and they are starting out I got Dr Scheiner as the hygienist. She was excellent, gentle and through about her work go figure she’s a dentist. Well after she got my teeth cleaned it was time for Dr Salazar to do his magic. I didn’t have any cavities but I like to chew on rocks or something cause I had a couple of chipped teeth in the front and needed them fixed. Dr Salazar is in the top 1% of all cosmetic dentists in the country so I felt confident that the work he preformed would be great and I was correct my teeth look great.
I know what your thinking new office, top 1% dentist this is going to be pricey… I was surprised at the cost very reasonable for the work that they had done. In short if you want a great dental experience go to Purely Dental.
