Iris Dental

Came in for an emergency crown! Dr. Tran is super professional!!! Very nice & clean office!!! Thank you for the great work on the short notice !!!

Iris dental has been wonderful to me and my daughter. I love that they are open on Saturdays and always very flexible with scheduling. They are all very nice and everything is neat and tidy. I totally recommend!

First time there and didn’t like it, I need my wisdom tooth removed and all they did was hurt me with the x-​ray machine and ended up recommending another place. My kids got a quick clean up and they were disappointed because they didn’t even get a surprise toy for being good at dentist… Bad experience and waste of time. Not back again!

Took my toddler there. 0 cavities the past 2 years, now suddenly she has FIVE? Found that *very* hard to believe so we got a 2^nd opinion. Sure enough, 2 other dentists both found only 4. However, only one of which was big enough to do a filling on. The other 3 are small enough that they suggested trying to re-​mineralize them instead. Googled it, it’s legit.
So… SHAME on Iris for wanting to drill holes in my childs mouth that were not necessary!!!
You have been warned.

This place has some flaws but overall the pros outweigh the cons greatly! So let’s start with the cons and end with on the positive with pros.
Cons:
*When you sit in the dental chair with the screen in front of you, yes you can see briefly other patients name and phone numbers. I personally don’t care much, but others might.
* This place isn’t fancy and glamorous like the dental office in La Jolla I use to go to, but you also won’t be overcharged like in La Jolla.
Pros:
*They don’t bullshit here, they tell you exactly how your oral health is upfront and honest, which I respect. I went to another dentist and switch to Iris dental because the other place was charging me excessively AND they didn’t even tell me about my other cavities I had, just the root canal they wanted me to do.
*Again, fees for service here are reasonable! Iris dental charged me considerably less than the dental office I use to go to in La Jolla!
* Tiffany, the person who does the billing and front desk is amazing. She knows I’m a poor college students and does her best to give me discounts when I have to pay-​of-​pocket of what my insurances doesn’t cover! I can’t thank her enough.
*Dr. Tran does a good job from doing root canals to fillings to deep cleaning (I’ve done them all)
*I read in another review that Iris only did amalgam (silver) fillings but since I’ve been going there they only do my fillings with resin (white natural color)
Overall, I like Iris dental and will be coming back to this place for all my dental needs.

My name is Jimmy and I had a really bad toothache. This place is really close to where I work and convenient. Tiffany at the front desk was more than helpful, and explained the whole process to me and set me up that day for an xray immediately as she was concerned about my pain. All of the assistants were very friendly and showed concern as well about the pain I was experiencing. After the xray, doctor Tran came by, looked at everything, and they set me up for an extraction a week later. A week later, after the antibiotics killed the infection and all pain subsided, I returned for my extraction. When I say painless… I mean the whole procedure from start to finish was painless. They rubbed anesthesia on my gums around my tooth before they gave me the shots that completely numbed everything. The extraction took less than five minutes, everything was clean, the whole facility is clean, and overall my visit was priceless. After the anesthesia wore off, I felt no pain at all. I’m now at two days from my upper right molar extraction, with no problems whatsoever. If you want to go to a place, hassle-​free, respective and personable staff, clean and caring, then I recommend Iris Dental. I will definitely be going back for the other work I need!

I’ll make this short. This is the place. Great dentist & pricing. Nice atmosphere and everyone very friendly.

Exposed to patient names and phone numbers while alone in dental chair.
After waiting 25 min, I was instructed to go to chair 2. This was a little odd. Typically they escort you to your chair. When I arrived at chair 2 there was a computer screen directly in my face that displayed the patient schedule information, complete with patient first name, last name and phone numbers for the entire week. When I mentioned the information breach, Tiffany (front desk/​office manager) and the dental assistant seemed indifferent and did not make any attempts to hide the confidential information until I continued to complain. I had to tell the dental assistant that it is her job to keep all of my information including my phone number confidential.
I stayed for my X-ray’s and exam, deciding to just mention it to the doctor. Doctor Andy Tran was very pleasant and listened to my concerns. He immediately mentioned it to Tiffany.
The doctor’s diagnosis was accurate and fair. He didn’t try to over charge for unnecessary work. However, I won’t return because per Tiffany, the doctor ONLY uses amalgam (silver that I believe have dangerous levels of mercury) filings and not composite resin (the natural color and safer) filling.
Will not be back!

Wow!!! Super clean and super nice dental office. Never like the ideas of visiting dental office but you got to try Iris Dental. Friendly staff and very professional. Doctor Andy was great! Took his time, easy going and make sure everything was done rite. I Didn’t even feel a thing during all the procedure. Definitely will be back. Thank you Doctor Andy

I found Iris dental thru Unilocal,and I have to say I am so happy I did. The office staff is amazing, helped out line a treatment plan, reasonably prices, and the dentist is beyond amazing. They have gone way above and beyond for my fiancé. I have to say a big thank you to this entire team for making me feel comfortable and explaining the whole process. I will definitely recommend to family and friends. This is the most amazing dentist office I have been to, EVER. Amazing

I took my 13 yr old son here for an emergency visit because it was the closest dental office to where I was staying. One of my son’s tooth had chipped while he was playing football that day. When I arrived, the office was preparing to close but the receptionist was kind enough to take us in as she saw how concerned I was. Dr. Tran not only fixed my son’s chipped tooth, but he also took X-​rays and cleaned his teeth making sure there were no other injuries. He took his time and ended up staying opened an hour after closing. I really appreciate the service. Although I don’t live in SD, I would come back the next time I’m in town.

Great dentist. Great staff. Clean office. Works well with insurance. Family atmosphere. I like having a quality, compassionate professional dentist in my hometown! Give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

I had my first visit here after my dad began coming here for his dental work. I had a great experience. The staff are very friendly, I feel like the dentist is knowledgeable and very ethical. They truly have their clients best interest in mind. I feel very comfortable in this office and feel that I can trust them.

This place is awesome! They have great prices and work with you if you need to make payments. They accommodate military families as well and understand we don’t make millions. Definitely a place I recommend!

I am new to San Diego and found them on google and they happens to be close to my house. They were so friendly and so helpful I was very happy I chose them as my dentist and they have a good understanding of how military insurence works so it’s a win win also a very clean place great dentist as well he was very nice I got a root canal and he made sure it didn’t hurt me one bit

My first visit was today, I have a terrible dental history, plus I am 6 months pregnant. So I have put off dental work for a while and finally gave in and called the dentist. I had the best experience here, from calling to schedule the appointment to walking out the door. Everyone there is extremely friendly, they explain everything in detail, and you don’t leave needing to take out a second mortgage! I am a very satisfied patient and will be back!

This dental office just opened. Went here for the $ 29 new patient cleaning special. Although he mumbles a little Dr. Tran was very friendly and explained everything to me and took great care of my teeth.
The dental assistant was new and was a little clumsy with the tools. She could not get some of them to work until the other dentist stepped in. She also had to re-​take several x-​rays (I don’t like unnecessary exposure)
An overall good experience. My teeth are now clean and good for another 6 months. I’ll be back.
