Bay Ho Family Dental

I had a major toothache over this past summer. my boyfriends mom insisted I come here to see what was wrong bcuz their family has been coming here for 20 years! I had an appointment with heather and I instantly felt taken care of! I needed a root canal but I didn’t have dental in my insurance until 2016 so they cut the nerve in November (so I wouldn’t have the pain anymore) and gave me a temporary filling until January when I had the actual root canal and crown. I feel so lucky that they truly care about me and were so willing and eager to work with me on what was best for everyone. :) they are all so sweet and friendly and loving! I’ll definitely be coming back every six months! :)
my crown fits perfectly!!! and not too big!

so I bought a GROUPON for $ 125 for X-​ray & cleaning & exam and I went there today and everything was great.

I was impressed before but now I am a raving fan! This is my first visit ever to a dentist to get some work done that he was able to do flawlessly with NO PAIN! My tooth broke and I was able to get in the next day and walked out with a new crown! I watched as they used incredible new technology and carved a perfect crown. I love the friendly family atmosphere and happy staff. Dr. Stefan was so gentle and explained because I was amazed at the technology he has! My new tooth is perfect, no pain, and very fair price! My last crown from a different dentist (with expensive art everywhere) was twice as much, took 2 weeks, 3 visits, and hurt like hell! Please go here and fear the dentist NO MORE! THANK YOU DR. Stefan and your wonderful staff. oh and thanks to Don too for telling me about them!

When walking into a dental office, most people, including myself, feel uncomfortable and kind of freak out. The first feeling that I had when walking into this office is that I was actually comfortable. The waiting room has a «home-​y» feeling to it, and it is very clean. You see the hygienists and even the doctor talking to the patients as they are finishing their procedure, and they are speaking with them as if they are friends rather than just people there to pay their bills.
Even when walking through the door after getting called, you see the children’s area, and that comforts you even more! Dental offices usually don’t put any effort into their children area, but this office has excelled in everything I have mentioned so far.
The dentist, Dr. Stephan, is a perfectionist and it shows with the great work that he does. He is very knowledgable about his field and explains everything that is going to happen with great detail, and answers every question that you might have. He makes sure to have you be comfortable and know what to expect with everything that he is going to do. He even explains the CEREC machine and tells you that it saves you money and time, a luxury in life. This machine is an in-​office crown and implant machine where you can have them put in the day of the procedure instead of waiting weeks for it to come back from the lab and having another appointment! Amazing!
The hygienist, Heather, is great as well. She is very nice and sweet and is always laughing with you, and really makes the whole appointment more of a personal time with the patient rather than just «business». She is very gentle, as well as the dentist, and really cares for the patient. I did not want my cleaning to end because I was having a great time just enjoying a conversation with her. (Yes, we converted during a cleaning!)
Both the back office employees (dentist and hygienists) and the front office employees really show you that they care about you rather than just trying to have you spend money. They give you options on how to save money and even tell you how much you should be paying for things if you do it there or not. This is how any health professional should be. This office really shows how anyone in the health field should be– you worry about the health of the patient, rather than making money. They are the epitome of authentic people, and this is one office that has something of mine that no other office has got; my trust! I love this office!

I couldn’t say enough good things about this office. I’m pregnant and recently had a tooth break off on a Friday, Heather was able to get me in Saturday morning and took extra precautions while looking at it and referred me for a root canal. Dr. Stephan was friendly and very informative! He explained every step of creating the crown and I actually got to see the tooth being sculpted by the machine they use, pretty amazing! They were speedy, very personable, and you can tell they genuinely care about helping their patients.

Just got back from my first visit — emergency crown restoration, I’m a new patient — and they got me into a chair in under an hour from the time I called. I will expand on this post later when I have more time, but after 57 years of living in San Diego I’ve experienced both the best and worst in dentistry this city has to offer. This office, and the team running the office, are a top shelf, blue label, best-​your-​gonna-​get operation. Highly recommended.

I’m so glad I found this place! Heather is amazing! I called on a Friday afternoon around 4:30/5pm practically crying because my tooth hurt so bad. Heather picked up from the work cell phone (they were already closed), heard the pain in my voice and said, «meet me at the clinic at 6pm». Wow. She’s awesome. Everyone there is awesome! I’ve had a deep cleaning and 2 crowns replaced, I definitely don’t dread going to the dentist now that I’ve found Bay Ho Family Dental. I highly recommend this place and have already recommended my coworker and sister who both have came back saying great things! It’s great knowing I have an honest-​friendly dentist who knows what they’re doing! Dr. Stephan, Heather, and the whole staff — 5 stars!

Today was my initial visit and the ENTIRE staff was amazing!!! Everyone is soooo friendly and extremely helpful. I actually called yesterday to set up an appointment. Later in the day, I had some pain going on and when I called for advice on how to care for it in the mean time, Nicole called the hygienist, Heather and three way’d her for me… Mind you, I have never been seen by them. They definitely go above and beyond even prior to seeing them. When I walked into the office today, they greeted me with big smiles on their faces and a genuine hello. Dr. Stephan was awesome he was a gentile as possible and got in me in & out of the chair in no time. Again, the ENTIRE staff is amazing!!!

I LOVE this place! Everyone there makes you feels super welcome and comfortable. Heather is an awesome dental hygienist, she has experience and knows what she’s doing and tells you what she’s doing every step of the way. Dr. Stephan is the best dentist I have ever been to, he get the job done right the first time. I can’t wait to go back to get my teeth cleaned.

Went here to get a second opinion after a potential shake down at Western Dental on Clairemont Dr and Clairemont Mesa Blvd. I had an excellent experience, notably because the front desk staff and doctor who saw me were very friendly, seemed genuinely interested, and were transparent about what they were doing. They saved me from spending $ 1200 on fillings that WD tried to scare me into doing the day before.

I have been trying to find my dental home for years, LOL! And the second I walked into Bay Ho Family Dental, I was made to feel right at home. The staff and dentists are amazing and will work with you on any plan for your dental work. They are flexible and understanding. Sometimes in the medical field you tend to just feel like a nameless person that they are seeing and don’t care about, and you will not feel that way here!
Definitely give them a shot, you won’t be sorry!

So my boyfriend HATES dentists, but he literally walked out of his cleaning laughing with the hygienist. Everyone is super nice, gentle and friendly here.
I asked the receptionist to send me a copy of my insurance breakdown through email and she spent the time making sure everything was correct and sent it right away.
They are all really cool here and really care. It’s a positive clean environment. Def recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about BHFD. 5 stars seemed a bit odd to me for a dentist’s office — not one patient with a bad experience? Well after sitting in their chair once a week for a month (advice: don’t go 5 years without a dentist visit!), I can see that they deserve those 5 stars. Every hygienist is so pleasant, painless, non-​judgmental and easy to talk to. And, Dr. Stephan is the same way.
They take the time to explain your X-​rays to you, and if you ask them what something is or why they’re doing it they tell you. I have recommended BHFD to countless people now, and actually look forward to my next cleaning!
My only ultra-​minor qualm is that they aren’t open a little later in the day to make it easier to get there after work.

I loved this office and the staff is wonderful I appreciate how caring each employee is Heather cleaned my teeth and she did such a good job I can’t wait to come back!

This dental office is really care for patients！！Dr and everyone working in BAYHO dental are nice and true professional people with warm hearts. They will listening to you whatever you need and do everything for help you best they can be. I was super impressed when I had a horrible toothache on new year’s day (ToT) I called so many place to ask some kind of help. It was difficult to get the appt on holiday. no place be able to see me till coming up monday or unless if I pay extra expencive money to see emergency dentist place. Ms heather is the one I talking to that day and booked me in nextday. Dr stephen have to send me to Endodontist for root canal. But oh my goodness, medication they gave me helped me a lots and calm down my swallowed ugly face and pain. Ms heather contacted with me EVERY single days, she was checked on me how I am doing till I get better. Ms heather is like life saver for me… She is represent how special this place is. … people must be laugh at me, 43 years old woman couldnt sleep or eat for one cavity. toothache was so horrible and how stupid I am for not realized it till get this terrible. it was worse pain than giving birth to baby. Ha ha.
Honestly its not much place is like bayho dental. Once they get to know you, I know they will taking care of you like family. How much I deeply appriciate … I cant express my feeling for them enough.
I can recommend BAYHO dental to everyone. Plus not just for adult. BAYHO is great for children too. (*^_​^*) Thank you again for Ms heather and Dr stephen. I will be back everytime I need dental work. God bless this dental office and people working in healthcare every single professional should be like them (・・)b BAYHO dental is amazing ！！！！！

The staff is great, Heather is wonderful and really takes good care of your dental hygiene needs. Dr. Stephan is great and very gentle. I had two previous fillings replaced today and was in and out of the office in half an hour and the only thing I felt the whole time was a light pinch from the initial injection.
I would recommend Bay Ho to anyone looking for a Dental office in the San Diego area. Trust me, the office is worth checking out to see for yourself. You’ll be happy you did.

Had a great time getting our teeth cleaned, examined and X-​rays for only $ 125!
Everything is nice and high tech and clean and the ladies are all really pretty and sweet especially Heather!

Me and my family needed a 6 month teeth cleaning. We like to support neighborhood businesses so we gave this place a try. It is located in the Bay Ho plaza. The office is contemporary and clean, the staff are friendly and personable. The dentist is to the point. There is a little kids area for them to keep busy while you wait. They are digital so X-​rays are easy. They are trying to go paperless so filling out forms are done on a laptop. Make things a lot faster at the initial visit. My 3 yr old daughter loved this place and the staff. She wants to go back tomorrow! :) Highly recommend!

From customer service to dental work and everything in between this place is 5 stars without a doubt! They are so nice and so professional and really talk to you. I’ve been to plenty of dentists in my day and this is the first place where the staff actually talks to me and not at me.
I just started bringing my 3 and 4 year old daughters here and they get so excited when it’s time to go to the dentist. I highly recommend this dental office for any family young or old! They really make my family feel welcome:) Thanks Bay Ho!

I have my own dentist that I’ve been going to for many years. I came here just for a teeth whitening treatment. My son had gone there and I saw a big difference and so I had to get mine done. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They polished my teeth and did the jump-​start treatment with the lights. Easy and cost quite reasonable.
