Lichter Derek M, DDS

I discovered Dr. Lichter and his staff about a year and a half ago when I had a dental emergency. Throughout that work, and ever since, every single part of my experience with his office has been superb, including crown replacement of an old, obsolete fitting, whitening treatment, implants for my son, and routine exams and cleaning. I feel like I am going to my family’s house for personal attention every time I visit, yet the techniques and technology used are state-​of-​the-​art. Financing options available give customers flexibility and ensure great treatment is available to everyone. The front office staff are delightful and technicians are absolute professionals in their own right. It doesn’t get any better! I have had numerous dentists over 35 years and will never go anywhere else. If you need any dental work, look no further. 5 stars +++

Gentle Dental I’ve been going there for a long time and ladies there are wonderful and my doctor is awesome. 5 Thumbs up

Best Dentist I’ve ever had! Always so accommodating to all my emergent dental needs, super friendly staff, fantastic experience (even for me, and I always hated going to the dentist!) had to get a lot of work done and Dr Lichter made it as painless an experience as I’ve ever known. Kudos to you Doc and to your great team! You do beautiful work!

Simply a top notch, professional and friendly office. Staffed by highly experienced people. The office was recommended by a friend and I will be making this my permanent dental office. Very attentive and gentle. Couldn’t ask for more.

You won’t find a better dentist in all of San Diego! I’ve been with this dentist since I can remember and Dr Lichter and his staff are simply the best. All-​around caring individuals. The office is a tad small, but perfect enough to get the one on one attention you deserve.

Words cannot fully articulate my appreciation for Dr. Lichter and his wonderful staff. Ever since I set foot in his office all these years ago…(I really don’t remember how long it’s been. Ten years maybe?), I cannot bring myself to trust anyone else with my dental needs. I live in Normal Heights now and still travel all the way to Chula Vista to his office for my cleaning and other things teeth-​related. He’s a master of his craft and has an awesome personality to boot! If you’re still wondering why he’s the best dentist in San Diego County, visit for yourself! Just try not to get in the way of me my appointments :)

Great dentist’s office. They make me really comfortable (and I HATE going to the dentist!). I’ve also never had a problem scheduling appointments, they usually work me in when I need them.

I feel welcome walking into Dr. Lichter’s office. Staff is great and each of my treatment plans has been taken care of with my best interest in mind.
