David E Rauterkus, DDS

I’ve had a super difficult time finding a PCP and also a Dentist since moving to San Diego… that was 9 years ago. I would literally plan dental appointments around my trips home, because the ones I met out here; were absolutely not personable and lacked the bedside manner. I had a little emergency with a tooth I had a root canal with 10 years ago and found Dr. Rauterkus’s office. They fit me in right away which was shocking. The office staff is… out of this world. They are SO NICE. Huge patient advocates and were extremely helpful when it came to insurance and the referral process. They got me in that day with an endo; and were super compassionate. I met Dr. Rauterkus on my F/​up and I wish I would have discovered this office sooner. He’s kind, and warm which makes dental work a bit of a breeze. He thoroughly explained the procedure and was gentle. The dental assistants are also perfect human beings. Exceptional Service, incredibly knowledgeable, AMAZING bedside manner. I don’t know if my insurance cover’s this office; and it may be out of network causing me to pay more out of pocket… however…I had such a great experience (s) that I really don’t care and will make Dr. R my new dentist.

Exceptional service in a warm friendly setting! Strongly recommend seeking your dental care here whether extensive or just a cleaning. I just had my teeth whitened and ohhh! Very Nice! I’m ready to face the world looking brighter and younger! Thank you!

Dr David is the very best!!! Besides a great chair side manner, no matter how busy he is, he always spends quality time with each patient. He is a great dentist who truly sees his patients as his extended family. A true professional who takes a lot of pride in his work and keeps up with the latest dental techniques and even makes excellent crowns in a single visit. He has hired and maintains a very high quality staff, everyone is so helpful and professional.
Thanks Dr David for a ‘great’ dental experience!

I saw Dr. David Rauterkus for several years growing up in Poway. He is professional and kind, as well as his staff. I eventually moved to Los Angeles after college and, unfortunately, had to find a new dentist. However, I recently chipped my tooth and my local dentist office was closed. So, my mother contacted Dr. Rauterkus’s office, as she is still going to see him. They went out of their way to try to find resources for me in Los Angeles to get my tooth fixed as soon as possible. Not many dentists would take the time to look into resources outside of their region to help out a former patient. I appreciated their loyalty and commitment to helping me out all the way up in Los Angeles.

Dr David has changed my life. I’ve been a patient since 1998 and my teeth were bad, misaligned and Dr David performed miracles. I would give him my highest recommendation in all San Diego.

Dr. David Rauterkus was recommended to me by several teachers in our community. I’ve been a patient for nearly 10 years now. He is so professional, friendly, excellent diagnosis and treatment. He makes crowns in his own office so I don’t have to come back and he has excellent referrals for root canal too. Michele the office manager is caring, professional, helpful with appointments, a true friend for health care and the heart. Melissa the hygienist keep my teeth shining. This office environment is 100 percent friendly, caring and professional. It is worth my ½ hour drive, I wouldn’t think of changing dental care.

Dr. Rauterkus was recommended to me over 15 yrs ago. I would not consider going anyplace else. The staff are always so cheerful the minute you walk in the door, greeting you by name, which is impressive. I have never had a bad experience with anyone. They are all so professional, but very friendly and welcoming. It is a very warm and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend this office to everyone.

Jennifer and Michelle give amazing customer service! They make you feel like your family! Dr David is excellent! I’m so happy I found them. I highly recommend this place for your whole family!

You can tell the Dr really cares about his patients and so do the staff. They have always treated me well and the procedures were all done without issue. The office is very hygienic and they worked hard to fit me in when I needed it. Not sure anything else needs to be said. I would definitely give them a shot.

Great dental office my kids are the ones that like coming here and I love it as well. The staff here along with dr. David is great. The hygienist is great that I fall asleep while they do their job. They are a great especially with my daughter. Will be coming here in the future for all my dental needs

Very nice! Staff is helpful and knowledgeable. As a person who dislikes going to the dentist, they make treatment easy.

I did Invisalign with Dr David over five years ago and am still pleased with the results. Last visit, they made me a snore guard/​retainer and I am very happy with how it is working. Love these guys and gals!

Very happy we found out about this Dentistry from a friend. They are really great, super friendly, professional, affordable, and most importantly they do great dental work. Me and my family will continue to go here, and we highly recommend them to our family and friends.

Been coming here for 5 years best dentist I know in town! Would recommend coming here best place in town teeth are looking better every time I go !

There is few times I actually enjoy going to the dentist, but this was completely unavoidable now; I chipped my tooth a couple days ago when trying to take apart my bed frame (I accidentally whacked myself in the face with the drill) and the Front Desk Manager at Dr. Rauterkaus’ office, Michelle was able to fit me in today to get my tooth repaired and also dealt with my insurance company to work out the kinks in my payment plan while I was getting my teeth worked on.
This is a really mellow, well decorated and beautiful office. I have never seen a place care so much about their patients! He put images in the fluorescent light fixtures on the ceiling to allow people something to look at so that they do not get bored, there is a fish tank in the room and it is not an all white room, it is blue and beach themed! These are positives to me, I like having things to look at, it keeps me from tensing up.
Dr. David and his staff are awesome! They do a great job from booking to exit and make you feel like you are welcome in their home. They go out of their way and above and beyond to make this a memorable experience in a good way, I would highly, highly recommend them to friends and family. I am moving out of state and will come back when I visit San Diego!

I’ve. Been a patient of dr David for over a decade now! I couldn’t be more satisfied with dr David & his entire team !! The atmosphere is very relaxing & very professional !! The team mirrors dr David’s excellence !! They let me listen to ESPN radio while in the chair! Which I love! Dr David even saw me on a Sunday once! When I had tooth that broke the night before on a date! Dr David thanks again for that! Sincerely, Don

I’ve been going to Dr. Rauterkus for years and love seeing him and his staff. They do a great job and all their equipment is very up to date with technology. The staff always remembers me and makes you feel comfortable when coming to the dentist is definitely not my most favorite thing in the world.
They also do great discount specials for the Zoom whitening, which I’ve done a few times now. Definitely works better than white strips and you can watch Netflix while you wait! Would highly recommend it to anyone looking to whiten their teeth quickly and that want it to last!

We just moved to poway and I drive by this office everyday. In search for a new dentist I decided to call and make an appointment. Everyone in the office is extremely polite. Love Dr. David love Melissa the hygienist. She did an awesome job with my teeth cleaning. I loved the care and attention that I receive so much that I made an appointment for my two-​year-​old daughter again we were scheduled with Melissa who was super patient explained everything to my daughter showed her everything she would use and did an awesome job cleaning her teeth.
I would totally recommend this dentist office to anyone who’s in search of a new dentist. In addition to the awesome service that I received the dentist office is extremely clean and modern looking.

Dr. David and his entire dental and office staff are AMAZING. Dr David has been my dentist for as long as I can remember. He also sees my 3 kids, my husband, my mom and dad, brother, sister in law, nephew and friend. He is very professional and has a lot of high tech stuff to make visits easy and thourough. He has helped me and my family out with our cleanings, dental needs, teeth whitening and has been able to help us obtain referrals for oral surgeons as well as braces. He and his staff really do care about their patients and make everyone feel at home. I always know we’re getting the best and most honest care for our teeth.

I wouldn’t drive all the way from Downtown San Diego for just any Dentist!
Dr. David is great at what he does and so is his office staff! Professional yet fun and inviting atmosphere.
Results that make my smile more healthy every time I leave the office!
Thank you Dr. David, Julie (RDS), Melissa (hygienist) and the rest of the staff for making my visits so enjoyable!
