David A Landau, DDS

I really can’t say enough good things about Dr. Landau and The Art of Dentistry. Suffice it to say that I am impressed with his expertise, workmanship, and attention to detail. I am thrilled that my co-​worker recommended this dental practice to me, and I am so happy that I am passing along the recommendation to all of my co-​workers and friends. The best way to sum up my feelings about this office would be to say that, in the past, like many people, I have sincerely dreaded dentist appointments above all else, and now I might actually look forward to them in a strange way. :-)

Dr. David Landau is an excellent dentist, that puts quality above all else. The Art of Dentistry is the only practice I will use. Furthermore, the office staff is professional, and personalizes every visit. It’s the best all around!

Anytime I write an excellent review, I do so with a bit of selfish hesitation because if excellent providers receive more customers/​patients, they might become too busy for me to access! However, I’m delighted to give an outstanding review to Dr. Landau & his staff because they have consistently earned the accolade year-​after-​year. I’ve been his patient for over 10 years and my husband has for almost 20 years. In that time, despite the growth in their practice, several fundamentals have remained constant: their unflappable professionalism, service, follow-​through, willingness to please, and complete commitment to outstanding technical & aesthetic results. Calling someone a «perfectionist» might not seem to be a compliment, but applied to those in charge of my dental health and who «craft» my smile, I’m THRILLED that Dr. Landau and his team pursue perfection on my behalf.

David Landau, Art of Dentistry
Thank you for this opportunity. Having spent 9k with a horrible result, hopefully this information can help other patients. Going into the practice I had researched the names/​previous clients that I had been given by the practice. My bad.
Looking back on my experience with Landau, I now realize my mistake. What I should have done is «written everything down and delivered my expectations in writing.» I told Landau, I have a small mouth and small teeth — I got big teeth. My expectations were that the replaced teeth would somewhat match the other side of my mouth. My teeth are flat and flatten at the portion where the teeth meet the bottom teeth. What I got was peg-​like teeth that are round, pointed and do not match my mouth or other teeth. After numerous trips to the office — I realized that the expertise is was not there and realized he had been through this «drill» previously by the amount of pictures he took to cover his tracks. They say the proof is in the pudding and what is posted here can be verified with the pictures I have of my mouth.
I will be having the teeth replaced that were done by Landau. I cannot understand how these glowing reviews are here for him. I had to have a crown and bridge done and perhaps that was too much out of his ballpark. Hopefully the above information about writing your expectations down — saving a copy for yourself — can help the next patient.

Dr. Landau was MY dentist for many years, until I stopped working in the neighborhood. Definitely the best dentist I’ve ever had… I am an anti-​dentite, and get really nervous under the lights… Landau and his staff were always gentle to me. They have headphones and music and a comforting office with wonderful staff… I would go back, but am just trying new dentists not so far. but I would not be surprised to end up with Dr. Landau again.

I had been to a couple of terrible dentists until I found Dr. Landau. I have had a significant amount of work done and it all looks and feels great. The work is painless and he is a certified cosmetic dentist, so everything appears natural. He’s definitely one of the top dentists in San Diego. I have recommended him to several of my friends and they have all been happy too.

fantastic experience.
from the moment i hit the door to the moment i left. this was an all-​encompassing unsurpassed dental experience for me.
the great lengths this office has gone to make the patient’s experience a great one is transparent – from the front desk staff to the dental assistant to the actual dentist.
however, the one who really made my day was Dr Landau. his meticulousness and technical expertise are exudingly obvious. i actually fell asleep while he did some work on a small cavity for a front tooth that recurrently chips and required a bonded resin. he has some awesome hands for sure!
highly recommended without reservations!!! 5 stars!!!

I won’t let just anyone into my mouth. Which is why, when I need serious dental work done, I hop on a plane and fly 2500 miles to visit Dr. David A. Landau, DDS, at The Art of Dentistry. He’s that good.
Dr. Landau is leagues ahead of other dentists I’ve been to in terms of his knowledge of cutting edge dentistry, his use of next generation materials and technology, and his skill level.
The man is a Picasso with a dental drill. His drive for perfection would be almost maddening if it didn’t result in such beautiful and painless work. He has a compassionate and funny chair-​side manner. He’s probably too honest for his own bottom line; he won’t sell you dental services you don’t truly need.
