Alpha Dental

I previously came to Alpha Dental last week to initially remove my two upper wisdom teeth. Upon arriving I was immediately greeted by his lovely receptionist who helped me check in step by step which was very nice of her.
After doing a couple of x-​rays, I was immediately seen and greeted by Dr. Vetger. He discovered that there were more severe issues going on with my teeth which needed to be addressed. He was very honest and patient through the whole discussion in regards of what kind of dental work I would be needing and suggestions he thought would be best suitable for me personally and financially.
After discussing and reviewing some of the treatment plans they suggested I come back an hour later and treat my self to lunch before starting any procedures. I came back an hour later and was immediately seen by the hygienist who was very sweet and made me feel very calm. She performed a deep cleaning on each and every single tooth in my mouth with absolutely no pain at all. The spaces in between my teeth are so clean now, almost resembling the piano keys made of fine ivory ;).
After the deep cleaning Dr. Vetger came in and informed me on what he was going to perform on me which gained my trust because usually other dentists will just immediately pry your mouth open and get to work; leaving you scared and anxious not knowing what the hell is going on (trust me I know by experience :/​). During the whole procedure I completely felt no pain and was still able to smile despite of all the numbness surrounding my mouth haha.
I could go on and on about how amazing my experience here at Alpha Dental was, but I will leave that for another update review since I am seeing him again today for a post opp (which im completely excited for)!
All in all, My experience is has been remarkably amazing and successful. Dt. Vetger and each and every member of his staff makes you feel like you are a friend/​family which goes to show you how much they truly care about your health and well being, rather than what’s in your pocket.
Thank you again Dr. Vetger and all of his beautiful and talented staff who went above and beyond in giving me such a fantastic experience here at Alpha Dental. I will be referring him to everyone I know.
I can finally say, «CHEESEEE»!
Hello everyone! I would love to share my UPDATED REVIEW here at ALPHA DENTAL.
After a couple of visits and amazing PAIN FREE dental treatments, I have finally achieved the smile I’ve always dreamed of.
If you’re looking for a spectacular dentist and a truly «go above and beyond staff», read no further and give them a call now! You won’t regret it.

Dr Vegter and his team are the «dream team»! I highly recommend paying him a visit. Professional, friendly and skilled.

Best. Dentist. Ever. Best staff ever! I seriously cant say enough great things about them!!! I will never go to another dental office. They are amazing!

I have always been terrified of visiting the dentist. I get the worst anxiety. My experience at Alpha Dental has been amazing since my very first appointment. I found them on Unilocal and saw they had amazing reviews. I called and was able to get an appointment for an impacted wisdom tooth within the same day. He explained exactly what he was going to do and why, which helped my anxiety. The entire extraction was pain free and staff is just as amazing. Seriously, AMAZING.

Please note that I did not meet the Dentist. Obviously, he has glowing reviews. I wanted to write this review simply to give a heads up that one person who works at the front desk can be unfriendly and brusque (which was my experience when I called today). I called back because I had further questions, and I told another person, who was very nice, that I was very uncomfortable with the person with whom I spoke. I was really expecting a call back from the first person I spoke with apologizing. It is really not so hard to do. She did not (because believe me we all make mistakes and are in grouchy moods sometimes) call me back to talk or apologize. Secondly, I explained that I am in pain. I booked an appointment online for March 2^nd because that was the only thing they had available. Other people have mentioned that when they explained that they were in pain, that they squeezed them in. That was not my experience. In fact i called today Feb 29^th and my appointment was not until March 2^nd. Sadly, I do not feel comfortable going to this office.

Great staff. Awesome work! I am a big baby when it comes to any dental work, and everyone makes me feel comfortable. I came in back in July needing a lot of work done. I have had 6 fillings and a root canal. My teeth are looking much better and feeling great. I’m very happy with my results and the awesome guys at alpha dental.

Dr. Vetger and his staff are so wonderful. I found him via Unilocal when I had a broken filling and they were able to see me right away. The hygienist I saw, Diana, is amazing and actually used to work with my old dentist, who I loved. This was reassuring, in addition to Estelle’s kindness and helpfulness in scheduling me last minute, as well at Dr. Vetger’s honest and straightforward personality in discussing his plans for my mouth and me. This past week I had an unfortunate emergency with one of my teeth and they not only saw me quickly but fit in a procedure so I didn’t have to wait until the doctor got back from vacation. He also texts you to check in on how you are feeling – I’ve never had a doctor give that type of attention. My roommate was with me when I got the text and she was so impressed she said she’d call to schedule an appointment with him, as she needs a new dentist herself.
I am continually impressed with the kindness, work ethic, and expertise shown here at Alpha Dental. I also appreciate the fact that everything they do is explained and the doctor doesn’t «talk down» to you in his discussions of what is going on with your teeth. I was so nervous to find a new dentist after I left my old one because I loved her so much (which is why I waited waaaaay too long to see a new one) but I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Vetger and his people.

This dentist does great work. He checks and rechecks his work and has great new technology. Staff is always friendly and courteous.
Clean spot.
Tell them Ellis sent you!

After much persistence from my wife, I finally paid a much needed visit to Dr. Vegter. My situation required some extensive work, which Dr. Vegter explained to myself & my wife extensively, addressing any potential concerns & pointing out any possible outcomes (both good & bad) The staff is remarkable, they treat you more like family than ‘just a patient’ And when the topic of finances came up, Ceci offered multiple options, & came up with a plan that would work with our budget. Alpha Dental is above & beyond the rest!

5 stars! EVERY time I go into this office I know that my teeth are in good hands. I live about an hour away and still go to this office just because of how wonderful of a job they do. Dr. Vegter (who I think owns the practice) is a great guy and always gets a laugh out of me.

I’m one of «those» people that is kind of insane about taking their health into their own hands and always have a lot to say at the doctor. Unfortunately, I really don’t know a whole lot about dental health so the dentist can feel like a disempowering experience for me.
I was really happy that at my initial consultation Dr. Vegter was excited to try to figure out what part of my mouth was swelling without me telling him and showing me everything in the xrays and the pictures so thoroughly. I could tell he really cares about what he is doing and his patients, which was awesome.
I did have to get a couple of fillings and a cleaning and I don’t have any complaints about the work. Expect your mouth to be really numb ;)

There are not enough stars or words to encompass how great this place is! The staff just radiate with awesomeness, with their sincere care & warm personalities. And Dr. Vegter is just so chill! Hamming it up with you the whole visit, while still doing whatever he can to ease your nerves as well. Their pricing is more than fair, & even when I couldn’t afford to cover my share beyond my insurance coverage, they did what they could to help me out & work with me. Even if you don’t live near by, THIS is the place you should trust & go to, I highly doubt you’ll find anywhere that tops them!

This place is the best. I recently moved to San Diego and was looking for a new dentist. I had one horrible experience at Western Dental… And decided to actually read reviews this time. All the five stars are right this dental practice really is amazing. Dr. Vegter is super nice and very good at what he does, one of the assistants, Deborah is really sweet and gentle. I am a complete baby when it comes to dentistry and I look forward to coming here. They also work with your insurance and are honest with what is covered and what’s not, no hidden fees. So glad I found you guys! Also the lady at the front desk is very sweet as well.

They scheduled me right away, fast service and good quality service. BUT, I was surprised when I received another bill after my first bill charging me to the amount that insurance did not cover. I guess they will offer you full services and saying bad comments from your previous dentist and offering you list of services that your mouth needs. They are too lazy to check your previous record from other servicer and all they want is to get services from you that resulted overlapping of job work and gave me trouble in insurance company. This issue was raised and staff never call you back to take in-​charge of the issue. I keep following up and resolved the issue after months. I hope this survey corrects a strong work ethic care about the quality of their work and to have a strong sense of responsibility affects how an employee works and the amount of work she does.

I chose them because they had great reviews and I’m really glad I did! From the first time I called they were nothing buy friendly. And when I went in for my first appointment I was very happy. The dentist here is really friendly and a good guy. I feel like he really cares about things being done perfectly, and he takes the time to show it. By the second time I went in, everyone knew me by name and made me feel welcome. They’re not as expensive as some of the other dentists around San Diego and very understanding. I’ve had to reschedule appointments many times and they’ve never given me a hard time about it. I just finished my third appointment there today, so I haven’t been a customer for long, but I will definitely go there from now on.

Five stars right away for getting me in for a dental emergency, but it goes much further than that. Dr. Vegter is fantastic to watch in action, particularly in the area of fillings. He’s straight up honest, and WILL let you know when your oral situation isn’t looking good, but, at the same time, does all he can to get those teeth back into functioning order!
As mentioned in a number of other reviews, if you decide to go into a treatment plan, everything is assembled and shown so you know exactly what you are paying. Considering the quality of the work combined with the cozy staff, I don’t think t find many better in San Diego.
If you never thought «comfortable» could be used to describe a dentist’s office, or have been scared about getting any sort of work done, this is the place for you. Roy and his team will fix you right up!

True professional and artist. All the staff are top notch too. Been going to the dentist since a very young age and I’m 62 now. Following a serious accident a few years ago, broke my face & teeth, Dr. Roy is putting it back together. It’s amazing … simply amazing.
Thanks Dr. Roy & Staff
See you when I return from Holiday.

Best dentist I’ve had yet. I hate the dentist so much. The initial reason for contacting alpha dental was that they offer some night and weekend appointments. They also have a good website, which allowed me to email and check on my insurance before making an appointment.
I came in for a tooth that was basically rotting out of my skull. The doc and staff were fun, personable, and informative. I was most impressed with his ability to numb me up. I am typically rather resistant to numbing and I had zero issues with the extraction that needed to happen.
He broke down the cost and benefits before I signed consent. Couldn’t ask for anything more. OH JUST KIDDING. He totally texted me like 5 minutes ago asking how I was feeling.

Been dreading a trip to the dentist as I had many bad experiences with previous dentists and I was several years over due for a check up.
Dr. Vegter and his team were great! Made me feel comfortable and explained what was going on with my teeth and gums and what could be done about it.
Extremely happy to have found Alpha Dental.

Friendly, professional and Practical !
I broke a tooth and needed a new dentist. I had been promising myself I’d get in to see Dr Vegter for months, maybe a year, and now I really needed to.
My experience was smooth from the first phone call.
I’d recommend him to anyone in the San Diego area. I’m in North County and it’s definitely worth the Drive :)
