David Eshom DDS

Dr. Eshom changed my life! Yes I know this sounds so dramatic but it is true! All my life I was always that one girl that NEVER smiled with my teeth showing! My teeth were small and crooked I just hated them! For as long as I can remember I knew I’ve one day I was going to get veneers! Finally after years of saying it and countless hours of researching I finally came across Dr. Eshom on YouTube! Then after reading his Unilocal reviews I knew I had to get a consultation! From the second you walk in I just felt so comfortable with everyone! The staff is so friendly I couldn’t believe it! Once I met Dr. Eshom I knew he would be the doctor I trusted to do my veneers! The whole process was nothing like I expected! I expected the worst, blood, pain anything one can think of when you think dentist! NOPE the whole procedure was pain free I had my hands dipped in wax, I was warm under a blanket, my neck in a pepper mint neck wrap as I’m watching tv! It was AMAZING!!! I had gum contouring veneers and some bonding done! It was more then I could ever imagine! I now can proudly say «Cheese» when I take a photo!!! Thank you to Dr. Eshom, Amber, Caela and all the rest of his staff! I am forever thankful to you guys!

Dr. Eshom and his staff are the most friendly people around. I had an amazing experience straightening my teeth with Invisalign. Dr. Eshom is the most professional Doctor I have gone to.

Going to set up appointment and write every time I go.

Everything about Dr. Eshom’s office is top notch. from the beautiful office to the amazing service you receive. I’ve never waited longer than 3 minutes and I’ve always been greeted genuinely. Everyone here will go above and beyond to make me you happy and as I approach the end of my Invisalign treatments I still have nothing but great things to say. I am constantly recommending Dr. Eshom to all of my friends, I seriously love this place. If you’re contemplating. STOP, schedule an appointment and GO ! I promise you will not be disappointed !

From the moment you step into the office of Dr. Eshom, DDS, you feel comfortable and relaxed. Amber, Invisalign Coordinator, greeted me warmly and got started immediately with my Invisalign consultation. Dr. Eshom’s office made the process easy, stress-​free and affordable. Dr. Eshom has given me a beautiful smile that allows me to be the best me!
Dr. Ferrara treated my teeth for wearing the Invisalign braces (buttons hold the braces firmly to the teeth). I really enjoyed meeting him, and found him to be very personable — having a true interest and care in his patients.
Dr. Eshom is a reputable practice. Here they treat patients with care and respect.

The office is beautiful and the staff are very professional and friendly. I have no complaints about the actual dental work.
However, I did knock off one star for their very abnormal payment method. Rather than going through your insurance, they have you pay for all of the treatments up front on your credit card or other payment method. Then (apparently) 2 – 3 weeks later you receive reimbursement from your insurance. I understand why they do it (no liability on their part), but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I won’t be returning due to the extra hassle. After all, I get insurance to try to avoid extra hassles.

I received my Invisalign treatment w/​Dr. Eshom & staff and for what a teeth straightening situation can be, it was what I consider the best possible scenario. The staff is A+ friendly — a genuine friendly– and everything in the office is always clean and spa-​like. All the equipment is new and I feel like I’m getting the most up-​to-​date «know how» from Dr. Eshom, who is also a great pro to work with. One time a new retainer didn’t feel right & it was easy to come in and have them tweak things. My sister ended up liking my results so much that she is now a client of Dr. Eshom, too. My teeth are straight and I can even tell a difference in how I talk/​chew which was a nice plus. Things are just more aligned. Many kiddos. You really can’t beat the service or staff.

I had a lot of work that I needed done right. If you are concerned as well and it has been a while, look no further than Dr. Eshom and his team. I have been waiting to write this review because I hadn’t checked into Unilocal in a while. Amber and his team are perfect if you want someone to be professional and not worry about pain. I would assume that he is not the cheapest; but who wants that when it comes to your teeth.

All the positive reviews are true! I went in a couple weeks ago for a consultation for Invisalign braces. I went to several dentists before that for consultations for comparison.
When I walked in the doors, I was immediately greeted by a receptionist. I was informed of the seating and the restroom. I went in the restroom. It was very clean and roomy. Also stocked with warm towels and complimentary toothbrushes.
Afterwards, I went to the waiting room, was there for one minute before I directed toward the room for my consultation. Appointment was right on schedule! I had a seat… the dental chair was a massage chair too. I watched an informative video.
There were two very nice ladies assisting Dr. Eshom in answering any of my questions. Dr. Eshom explained in detail of how the process was going to work. He was very approachable and seemed very knowledgeable. Also, the quote was much lower then any other dentists that I went to, and the length of time I would be in Invisalign was much lower.
I was gonna go for the Invisalign, but due to a family emergency I don’t have the funds for it right now. They were very understanding when I had to cancel the next appointment… no pressure.

Dr. Eshom and his staff are always so kind. The office is beautiful and they really now how to make you feel at home. It’s not easy for me to go to the dentist, they made me feel more comfortable. I know a few people that visit his office and they are really pleased with the outcome.

First things first the appearance and professionalism of this place is amazing! I never waited more than a couple of minutes to be seen, even if I was early for my appointment. Amber is such a sweetheart and you can tell she is an honest lady! They were very informative when I was first starting out and answered any questions I had very thoroughly to make sure I understood everything. They are VERY flexible with schedules and appointments. With me being in the military they were more than happy to give me some trays ahead of time if I was to be gone for my next appointment.
When it was time for my buttons to come off it was more like a day at the spa! My hands were dipped in paraffin wax, I had a hot neck wrap, and they had a tv changed to whatever channel I desired to watch while they were removing the buttons.
The ONLY bad thing I have to say is I had to go back and get my top retainer re-​molded (they had accidentally cut off my top right back molar when making the retainer). But they were sure to get it fixed and had me in within 24 hours of the mistake.
I highly recommend Dr. Eshom for any cosmetic dentistry!

Had I known how nice and easy getting invisalign started was, I would have made my appointment long ago! During my consultation Dr. Eshom answered any and all questions I had going into this, and after that I couldn’t wait to get started. I went in for my first appointment and got XRays and the scans done for invisalign. Dalia was so sweet and thorough and again answered all of my questions. They obviously use the latest equipment which made the appointment so quick and seamless (including a heated neck pillow!). Dr. Eshom then explained the process of propel, which is optional but cuts the treatment time in half! So I definitely am going forward with that. Cant wait to pick up my trays in a couple weeks!

You know I don’t always give five stars but when I really feel like somebody deserves it you bet I’m going to give it to them. I came to Dr. Eshom so that I can get a consultation on invisiline. As soon as I walked in through the door I was greeted with a smile brought into the room almost immediately had a soothing and relaxing lavender hot pillow put around my neck and pictures taken of my teeth and face. Caela was The dentist assistant and was so professional and have the most beautiful smile there’s nothing like going to the dentist office and seeing terrible teeth. She was so informative and filled me in on everything that I needed to know then the doctor came in. I have heard so much about the doctor and how busy he is and how high end his clients are and for a free consultation he spent so much time with me and that meant a lot. I once had to pay $ 200 to get a Consultation for a root canal and then didn’t even have to use the dentist and my $ 200 went down the drain. And he informed me that I had to get other work done to my teeth and wasn’t even pushy about him doing it. Which made me want to go to him even more. Since I already had a crown in the works with another dentist I finish that up and can’t wait to get my invisaline started.
So if anyone is looking for a great dentist that is honest and fair and professional look no further. And trust me growing up in the candy business I’ve seen my fair share of dentist and know what I’m talking about. So you’re welcome fellow Unilocalers this one’s a good one

Dr. Eshom and his entire staff made my Invisalign treatment a painless experience. I shopped five different doctors and ultimately, I chose Dr. Eshom because I felt the most comfortable with his level of experience and the friendliness of his staff. I was lucky that he also happened to be one of the most cost-​effective as well.
I am very happy with my results. I get compliments on my smile all of the time. They listened to all of my concerns, were always professional, and have always made me feel welcome (not to mention they offer a warm neck wrap every appointment!).
Amber and Brooke are amazing. Amber worked with me from Day 1 on pricing and appointments. She truly cares about her customers and is fantastic about getting back to you if you call or email (and I had a lot of questions throughout the process). Brooke was my point person when coming in for appointments and she was always upbeat and super efficient. I felt very comfortable with the treatment I received. I actually am kind of sad I won’t be seeing them again — seriously — everyone here was so friendly.
If you are considering Invisalign, do yourself a favor and get a consult with Dr. Eshom!

I was shopping around for a great invisalign provider and boy did I find it. Dr Eshom and his staff were absolutely wonderful. Their charge for invisalign was very competitive and much less than some other places but what won me over was their service and professionalism. I had some insurance issues where the company was trying to deny my claim and Amber at the front desk was on it and took care of it for me.
When I went in for my consultation Dr. Eshom himself gave me the rundown of the costs and gave me some advice. I really appreciate that since most offices have the dentist see you and then leave before the money conversation takes place. I always find that a bit strange. In any case, I did the invisalign with the Propel (Highly recommended to do the Propel!) and in 5 months I was set!
I am so very grateful for Dr. Eshom and his team!

I get cleaning here done every 6 months here and I always get a lot of compliments afterwards.
If you’re looking for quality teeth cleaning done around the area, come here!
Clean and comfortable. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. Underground parking is free.
I have absolutely no complaints!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Eshom’s for 20 years now (I’m 39), and he is the best medical professional I have ever met. He and his staff provide exceptional quality dental work, in a friendly, state-​of-​the-​art environment. I actually look forward to my dental appointments — who says that?
I first visited Dr. Eshom for a cleaning while attending UCSD around 1994. Initially, I had some molars in bad shape, due to bad dental hygiene and nighttime teeth grinding. Dr. Eshom performed a series of porcelain onlays on my molars (rather than caps which would have lost more tooth matter). They still look beautiful and remain intact 20 years later. When I had an issue with one of them after 10 years, Dr. Eshom repaired it at no charge, no questions asked.
Dr. Eshom and him team use the latest tech, such as lasers for deep gum cleanings. Some of these are not covered by typical dental insurance, so you pay maybe an extra $ 30 – 50 out of pocket for a cleaning. But these extras are optional, and you can skip them. I always do them — why? Because after a childhood of constant fillings and dental issues, since switching to Dr. Eshom, I haven’t had a cavity in a decade. And no gingivitis warning signs, despite this being a risk for me.
In a way, I feel bad that Dr. Eshom’s preventative care is so good, because I no longer have any «big ticket» items such as fillings, crowns, root canals, and so on that are more profitable for dentists. But Dr. Eshom just seems honestly happy that his patients have the best teeth possible. I can’t say enough good things about his practice. It’s like unicorn dentistry.

Sigh… I’m sad my time with Dr. Eshom and his team has come to an end since I moved out of state! My year long Invisalign treatment went so smoothly and perfect. Everyone was pleasant to work and chat with. Amber took of my billing and she is a ROCKSTAR. I met with Brooke more often than the other dental assistant and she is awesome as well! Dr. Eshom is very understanding and will listen to your needs; he doesn’t try to upsell you like many other doctors. I shopped around San Diego (went to 5 other orthos) before I came across Eshom and I am so glad I went with him. His costs are lower than any other nearby La Jolla ortho and he has the best reviews in town!
I feel so much more confident in my smile than ever before. It was something I wanted to fix for awhile but I never had the funds to do so. It’s worth every penny.
I haven’t looked for a new dentist in my new town but I know nothing will ever compare to the service I received at Eshom’s office. It’s a nice feeling to walk into a place where everyone knows your name and welcomes you back each time.
Thank you everyone in the office for the best dental experience!

I’ve never had a better experience with orthodontia and general dentistry than I have in the past year.
I looked into Invisalign about a year ago (³⁄₂₀₁₄), and found raving reviews for Dr. Eshom. I decided to give it a try and asked for a free consultation + cost analysis. For Invisalign, I primarily worked with Amber with appointment scheduling, payment etc. My treatment plan was only ~7 months, and they were extremely flexible with scheduling appointments for me, especially since I work in North County.
The staff members I mainly interacted with during my visits were Brooke, Amber, and Cynthia. Really sorry to the others who I’ve interacted with but can’t remember their names. Everyone I encountered during my visits were great. I had nothing but the best care possible. They were great with insurance claims as well as in the dental room.
Dr. Eshom walked me through each step of the Invisalign process. Pictures were taken, videos recorded, and a out popped a theoretical representation of what my teeth would look like after the treatment was complete. I was left without any questions or concerns, and my teeth now look GREAT.
I saw Dr. Ferrera for general dentistry — specifically to remove a filling and replace it with crowns and onlays. Brooke and Cynthia were great while I was in the dental chair under my mouth numbing anesthesia, and Cynthia was wonderful at taking care of insurance claims and billing.
Comfort of the dental office is amazing. The seating area seats about 5 or 6 people, but the wait is never more than 5 minutes, and they are ALWAYS on time. I was offered a warm neck wrap during each of my visits. Their bathroom is in impeccable condition, and I’m often using it because I’m either headed to or coming from work, both of which are 40min+ drives. There are TVs in the general dentistry rooms that were on when I had my filling cleaned and filled. There are small water bottles at the door in an ice bucket. I usually will take one to remove any sort of after taste of dental work that’s been done. Plus my mouth gets a little dry, so a small bottle of water on my way out is perfect!
There is nothing but professionalism, friendliness, and the strive for great patient care from this office. I highly recommend Dr. Eshom and Dr. Ferrera for Invisalign and general dentistry. Amazing doctors, amazing staff, and great patient care really makes a difference when it comes to your oral health! Highly, highly recommended!

I’ve been experiencing the dreaded toothache for the past 3 days. What’s worse is that I do not have dental insurance right now– long story…
I called Dr. Eshom’s office because of the good reviews, and they were able to make an appointment for me the next day, before their regular hours. This was amazing– seeing as though lots of dental offices are closed this week.
The office is immaculate. I worked with Cynthia primarily, and she was so considerate and professional. They offered me a hot neck pillow, and blanket. Dr. Eshom was very professional and warm as well.
The equipment is state of the art. I got a clear picture of the damage my bad crown was causing to my gums. They gave me a straight forward quote for services, and even though their office closes early tomorrow, offered to fit me in before they closed for the day.
They were understanding of the financial strain, and offered to 1) give me a limited exam for a lesser rate, and 2) apply that rate to the balance. There’s also a Unilocal deal right now that will give you $ 100 off. Even with this, I still could not afford the services. However, if I could, I would definitely trust Dr. Eshom and Cynthia with the disaster that is my mouth!
