La Costa Family Dental

Kevin was one of the best dentist’s I have ever had. Went above and beyond to make my smile perfect! I would go back to him in a heartbeat! He made me feel comfortable and I usually don’t do well at the dentist. Thank you Kevin for everything!

I am not a fan of dentists and it takes me a while to find a good one. It took me two years to find this gem here near work. La Costa Family Dental at 6990 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, Ca 92 009 Phone (760) 438 0175
I normally do not give reviews about anything especially dentist, but Dr Smith gave me a temp crown to hold me over until my crown is available for renewing (Over a year to manage a temp crown). He even personally called me two days later and asked me how I am doing. The staff at this office is very pleasant and ready to help. They make sure I know everything about what I am eligible for and what the best option forward is. There are no hidden agenda’s or surprises, like I have had at many other demists. They are efficient and did a great job and fixing a broken tooth and giving me a temp crown. They work through email, phone or in person equally. Give them a try and tell him/​them I sent you to show my appreciation for his kindness and good will. I get nothing in return except smiles from the staff and hopefully smiles and thanks from you or your family members happy mouth.
They are located at between Dove Lane and Alga Road on the North bound side of ECR.

Been seeing Dr. Smith for years! Everyone is so nice and friendly. Would definitely recommended this dentist to anyone. Good service all around and very easy to set up appointments. A++ for these guys !!

Dr. Smith and staff are extremely friendly. Its named La Costa FAMILY dental for a reason. They make you feel like a part of the family. Im very apprehensive when it comes to going to the dentist, but that changed the moment i walked in. Everyone is so friendly. The Dental Assistants are there with you from the moment you walk in to the second you leave. Dr. Smith pulled out two of my teeth for me. I never once felt the injection, and he was very efficient. I was only in the chair for 20 mins and most of that time was spent sitting there flipping through magazines to get numb. I asked where he learned to be so quick and it turns out he was in the Navy and performed a lot of those procedures as well as Root Canals. He does a lot to help out wounder warriors and is very active in helping his local church when he gets the chance. I recommend his office to everyone looking for a dentist!

This office is amazing from the minute you walk in until the minute you leave. The front office staff are calm and friendly and always have a smile on their faces. I hadn’t seen a dentist in 20 years when I went there. The initial exam was thorough. Dr. Kevin Smith took time with me to discuss what he was seeing and what my options were. He carefully explained the pros and cons as well as costs of all my options. I felt like I made an informed decision. Dr. Kevin Smith made me feel so comfortable. I was a little scared going in after so many years but felt so comfortable there. Not only is he a great dentist but a great person as well.

Great dentist, very helpful, professional and flexible with people’s busy lives. In fact, he even came in one Saturday to fix an emergency broken tooth for me! When is the last time you can say that about a business! Reminded me of what is was like back in my hometown.
We have used Dr Smith for nearly 3 years now. The entire staff has been honest and upfront and has always been concerned with the costs to his patients. Dr. Smith is an honest man.
The entire staff is friendly and makes all of us feel welcome and comfortable, as comfortable as anyone can be at the dentist that is!
I would highly recommend Dr. Smith to anyone who is looking for a dentist with a hometown feel, someone you can really trust.

I had a great experience with Dr. Smith and the team at La Costa Family Dental. I’ve had a ton of dental work done so I’m always pretty leery when it comes to trying out a new dentist. I was having issues with two crowns and ended up needing new ones. Dr. Smith said he would guarantee his work, and if I ever had issues to come back. My new crowns fit perfectly and I already notice a huge difference at my gum line where I was having issues. The hygienists and techs were great, as well as the lovely office team. Thanks La Costa team!

Warning. Practice is focused on billing and not good healthcare practice.
I am new to the area and looking for new dentist after 20 yrs with my old one. I received a thuro cleaning and proper x-​rays as part of my exam. I felt that service was executed with precision. The last part of the visit was with the dentist. Upon sitting down and barely meeting the dr I was uncomfortably in a political conversation with the dr over the better political party to lead this country. I ignored the comments and quickly tried to move away from the conversation. Not exactly what you want to discuss with the guy that has access to a drill and novocain.
We moved to the discussion To my teeth and without looking in my mouth and only going off the x rays he determined I needed two crowns and two cavities filled.
This is by far the most dental work I have ever had to endure in my life, so I was skeptical. I told him that I believe we should establish an history of my mouth rather than jump into evasive procedures. He told me I was wrong!
Again being uncomfortable quickly ended our visit. Upon leaving I requested x-​rays be sent to me. I forward them to my dentist of 20 yrs. He was shocked by the recommendation as he had previous x ray and didn’t see dramatic change plus he was the one that put initial fillings in and didn’t need replacing.
La costs family dental is not a practice I feel is making good decisions for you nor willing to take a long term approach to healthcare. They want quick visits they can bill the most expensive procedures.

Can not say enough good things about this practice and Dr Smith’s talent.
If you are looking for a Dentist do not miss your chance to visit a one of the best.

Great dental care here. Saw Dr. Smith and he complimeted me on my teeth and was very reassuring about an upcoming procedure.
Good atmosphere and friendly staff make this my favorite dentist.

I had an crown emergency. Dr Smith was fantastic. The fitted me in and took care of the problem. He gave me an injection and I barely felt anything. Very professional and very reasonable.
Dr Smith has taken my both my kids. He can recite the ABC backwards and had my little guy smiling. The 12 year old had a couple of fillings. Dr Smith made his relax and took care of business .
His front office staff is so helpful and make sure you know what you are getting and paying for.

I highly recommend La Costa Family Dental. Dr. Smith and Dr. Martin are great dentist. I had a big chip on my molar last summer. Dr. Martin fixed it with no pain. It was amazing.

I highly recommend La Costa Family Dental! First, when you walk into the office everyone is so friendly and welcoming. They are always are easy to talk to when making appointments and dealing with insurance. All the hygienists do such a good job cleaning teeth, and are extremely capable and friendly.
Most importantly, Dr. Smith is such an amazing dentist. He has such a warm personality and is so caring and gentle with my teeth. I have gotten my wisdom teeth out here and it was easy and fast with no complications after. I have also gotten four of my teeth bonded and they look perfect. You cannot even tell that the bonded parts are not my real teeth. The bonding matches my teeth shade perfectly and does not have any sharp edges. Also, when my bonding has chipped he always is so nice about fixing it.
Dr. Smith has made my smile is perfect and La Costa Family Dental goes above and beyond to make sure my experience at the dentist is fabulous.

I highly recommend La Costa Family Dental, and more specifically Dr. Kevin Smith, for their warm demeanor, efficient scheduling and painless practice.
A dentist in Murrieta put on a really bad crown on one of my back molars in late 2011, and recently became infected due to being open to whatever was happening in my mouth the last 4 years.
So I reached out to Dr. Smith, told him the whole story and about how I’ve had such bad experiences with dentists, and he made me feel very at home in my first consultation. He even called the last dentist I had to let him know that it was a bad crown.
The wait time was almost non-​existent. They have easy and non-​evasive x-​Ray procedures, and the dental hygienists were very professional and nice.
Since then, he put me on antibiotics, replaced my crown, completed a root canal, and I haven’t had one bit of pain since! Definitely check these guys out!

This place is really great! I’ve been going here for a few years (and had quite a lot done) and they’ve never been anything but welcoming, professional, super capable, and even funny! I actually kind of look forward to my cleanings. They go the extra mile when it comes to dealing with the insurance and ensuring I don’t get overcharged and they are super helpful in finding the right appointment, even right away if needed. Go here if you can!

Dr Smith is the best! Our family just loves his awesome staff as we feel like part of a big family. We highly recommend LA Costa Family Dental to your family and friends if you like a caring, gentle and professional dental staff.

Dr. Smith met me in the office on Saturday morning and repaired a HUGE chip on a front top tooth. He even entertained and sang to my two year old daughter while he worked. My toddler now can’t wait to go back and told me that the dentist was fun.
Thank you so much!!! You and your entire staff really care! Love you guys!

I cant say anything bad about La Costa Family Dental and Dr. Smith. Everyone is so nice an helpful. I was just there yesterday to have a wisdom tooth pulled and it took less then 30 mins to check in, get numbed, pull the tooth and schedule a check up. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a family friendly dentist. I will be taking my daughter there as soon as she is old enough.

I am a new patient and have had an excellent experience thus far. I’ve gotten my teeth cleaned a few times and let me tell you, Natalie is amazing I can’t stress that enough! I’ve never had a dental hygienist who is so friendly and has an amazing spirit inside & out :) I recently got my first two crowns put in by Dr. Smith and surprisingly it wasn’t that bad! I’m definitely not a fan of the dentist, but Dr. Smith helped make the process smooth and simple, and goes out of his way to make sure you’re pleased. I would recommend La Costa Family Dental to everyone; even the ladies at the front desk are delightful. I certainly appreciate excellent customer service and you will absolutely get it here. Thumbs up from me!

We’ve been coming here for a few years and we love Dr. Rosen & his humming while working on your teeth :) The practice is now Dr. Smith’s who is also very nice & professional. He took out my teeanger’s wisdom tooth a few months ago and I was pleasantly surprised by a personal phone call by the Dr. to see how she was doing. You’re in good hands here!
