WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING
"Dr. McClanahan is the best dentist in San Diego. He is kind, patient and honest. I was blessed to be referred to him by a friend after so many years of disasters from other dentists and a bankruptcy from what they charge. His staff are very nice and make you feel safe, cared for and comfortable."
Rafiaa B.
"I have been seeing Dr McClanahan for the past year and a half and have no complaints. I have a phobia of going to the dentist but with sedation dentistry I am totally comfortable. He is a great dentist. His work is professional and he personally telephones me to follow up the day following my appointment. "
D Frag
"I have dental phobia and the staff and Dr McClanahan’s office are very kind and patient. I have had multiple great experiences with their conscious sedation resolving numerous dental issues for over a year and a half of services. Their prices are reasonable and extras that aren’t needed are not added on when you are on a budget. I’m very thankful to the entire staff and highly recommend."
Melanie S
"A co-worker referred me to Dr. McClanahan. She said he is the absolute best and she would never go anywhere else. I now see why she is so loyal. Dr. McClanahan and all the staff I met were great. He looked at each tooth and came up with a treatment plan that fit my budget and worked within the scope of my dental insurance. I chose laughing gas instead of complete sedation. It helped me feel calm and relaxed and I was able to put complete trust in Dr. McClanahan and his assistant. "

Dr. McClanahan has done significant work on my mouth. I have always had extreme dental anxiety. Dr. McClanahan and his staff have made me feel so comfortable and check-in on all of my concerns. My smile hasn't looked so good in years. My mouth hasn't felt this good in years. Thank you to Dr. McClanahan and all his staff. You are worth every penny! I'm glad I have a place I know does honest work and is trustworthy. "
