GO HERE AND LOSE YOUR TEETH!!! I took my girlfriend here because I've been a couple times for cleanings (which were always cold and rigid) so I figured they would be alright for an exam for my girlfriend regarding her hurting tooth. WRONG!
This is what my gf has to say: Not only did they tell me nothing regarding my hurting tooth, the one I came in to get looked at, but they told me that the tooth next to it was cracked at the root! This was according to the fuzzy x-ray pics and lack of competence on the part of Elizabeth (the butch and bitchy head honcho in charge). It was not taken into consideration that that was not the tooth that was hurting and instead I was told that it was a one in a million case where the teeth behind the cracked tooth were what caused it by pushing laterally on it. This was told to me with 100% confidence. I was devastated, I cried the whole way home and was miserable up to the point of surgery, dreading the new homeless look I would assume.
Thank God for Dr. Mudd the highly decorated retired air force Lt. colonel dental surgeon in Oceanside who at first took Elizabeth's word and was ready to extricate my tooth and replace it with a bone graft for a future replacement. However he didn't feel comfortable proceeding based upon the shit-poor resolution of my x-rays so on the morning of my surgery he took a rather impromptu cat scan x-ray and discovered that my tooth was fine with NO FRACTURE.
After $130 of examination fees, fret and worry for 5 days before surgery, upsetting family and friends and the time it took to schedule and attend everything it was all for nothing! I returned to the lovely folks at Emerald dental who insisted to defend their master and commander Elizabeth. I told them they messed up and they became defensive and unapologetic for their blatantly clear mishap. They are a joke, a fraud and are crooks. Do your self and the world a favor and never step foot in that place!!!!
