A Dental Spot

As much as I hate going to the dentist, these guys make it easier for me. Friendly environment and fast appointments when I needed it. My entire family goes here and they are wonderful with kids. We have used them for ortho and teeth whitening too.

A few years ago when I had dental insurance I was introduced to Dr. Portilla. I had neglected my teeth for years! He found nine cavities and the bonding on my two front teeth were in dire need of repair.
I choose to fill the cavities with Composite because unlike the other materials used to fill Composite isn’t as noticeable. I also wanted to replace my two bonded teeth with veneers. Dr. Portilla along with my approval on the shape and color made sure the veneers looked natural and improved my smile.
A couple of years and a few teeth cleanings later I recently had cavities in two other teeth. Ana the Hygienist who is highly skilled in dentistry let me see all the cavities and I decided to have them filled. She does a thorough job cleaning, polishing and flossing.
It is best to take preventative care of your teeth to prevent future problems like crowns, bridges or gum disease, right? So don’t wait to make an appointment to get your mouth in order.
Dr. Portilla accepts all sorts of payments and he let me pay the balance of $ 185 within 30 days. I miss the old receptionists but, the new ladies seem just as nice. Also, the staff is bilingual in English and Spanish. I highly recommend A Dental Spot!

I came here because I couldn’t wait any longer for my Medi-​Cal to be processed. My wife and I found this place after searching for days for reasonable prices. This place accepts care credit, and they also take Medi-​Cal which makes us even happier because I can continue to come here in the future for my dental needs.
Down to the skinny. Dr. Portilla performed a root canal on a molar in the bottom left side of my mouth. I didn’t feel any pain, but because I’m squeamish at the dentist I flinched the first moment I felt anything so he added a little more of the anesthetic. The procedure only took about 30 minutes, and I walked out feeling normal after being in excruciating pain for 2 weeks.
I’m getting a temporary crown next tuesday, and hopefully by then my medi-​cal will be done and I’ll schedule an appointment for a permanent one.
Also… I have to point out that this office is VERY clean.

I’ve been to almost every dentist office in Escondido and I finally found the best one! The staff are extremely kind and make you feel welcomed. Clean environment. Great payment plans. I seriously recommend it!
