Southern California Periodontics & Implantology

Dr. Beck has provided first class care for my entire family. Her level of professionalism exceeded my expectations. She addressed all of my concerns and apprehensions attentively, and was very thorough in her explanations. I felt confident in her ability to repair my problem and discomforts. Her work was done with precision and care, and the end result is beautiful. I could not be happier. I have referred several other friends and co-​workers to see her and they have received the same amazing level of care. Her office is also amazing, and extremely clean and well cared for. The staff is very friendly and the customer service is fantastic! If you find yourself in need of perio work and even general cleanings, you will more than happy with Dr. Beck and her staff.

I was referred to Dr. Beck’s office through my parents with whom they have had a bit of periodontal work done to them. First about my Mom… she had significant work done to her some time ago when she lived up north with a different doctor. Unfortunately, she developed an infection and because of this, it was preventing her from having a highly necessary hip replacement surgery which was significantly getting worse and more painful for her and affecting her mobility.
When they moved down to the San Diego area, she went in to see Dr. Beck at Southern California Periodontics and Implantology. Dr. Beck located the areas of infection and was able to clean and disinfect these areas. Within a few short weeks, her infection was entirely gone and was cleared by her surgical doctor to have her hip replacement surgery. Talk about one happy Mother/​Grandmother/​Wife. Because of Dr. Beck’s extensive knowledge and experience, my Mom is now back on her feet.
As for me, I needed some minor work done and decided to check Dr. Beck out. My first impression when I walked in was how beautiful her office was. It was nicely appointed with a living wall, which was really cool, and with plenty of coffee, which I was in dire need of.
I was immediately greeted by two friendly women, Lisa and another nice lady (I cannot remember her name for the life of me). I waited for less than 5 minutes before I was shown to my chair. You know, the chair that we all freak out about? Well, the staff made me feel very relaxed.
I first saw Jessica, their hygienist. What a lively and friendly personality she was. She immediately made me feel at home by just asking me questions about me, life, or anything to help me feel more comfortable. Small talk you might call it, but it was very much welcomed and appreciated. I can be a bit of a talker and comedian (at least I think so), but I never felt the need to zip it. Oops, sorry for the coffee breath… my bad!
Painless and comfortable the entire time, Dr. Beck came in and went over all my questions, checked on the work that was done and really made me feel like she cared. She and her entire staff did care and that is what is lacking so much these days in medicine in general.
I would highly recommend Dr. Beck and her staff at Sothern California Periodontics and Implantology. Even if you only need your teeth cleaned, they’ve got you covered.
Thanks Dr. Beck and team, you have a patient for life.

First of all I want to say that I don’t give out 5 star ratings easily at all. You really have to take it to the next level to qualify. Let me tell you Dr. Beck does. She’s not just another pretty face, she’s an oral surgeon like no other. I have a terrible fear of dental work [we’re talking sedation just for a cleaning] and am horribly sensitive when it comes to my teeth. I’ve had gum grafting, root canals, extractions, wisdom teeth extractions, crowns, and fillings. Some of this work was done while in the military as well so I’ve seen the whole range of doctors when it comes to dental work.
I was referred to Dr. Beck by a neighbor that is a periodontist. When I called I almost didn’t go see her because I was told she did not even have Nitrous oxide in her office. This is usually a deal killer for me due to my sensitivity with anything dental. But I took the recommendation and went in anyway, and let me tell you I was glad I did. She is the most gentle, careful dentist I’ve ever had work on my teeth. I’d be lying if I said it was totally painless, of course there’s going to be discomfort its dental work. But I’ll tell you it was by far the best experience in my 40+ years ever.
Recently she did an extraction of an infected tooth. There was so little pain and recovery afterward I was almost in disbelief that it had gone that smoothly. I healed up in a very short time and in short she saved the vacation to Europe that the wife and I had planned. Following this extraction is the implant to replace the missing tooth. She took the time to explain to me the time line as well as the procedure. This is a big deal to me as I like to know the technical details of what’s going to happen when someone opens me up. The anchor for the implant was installed 5 days ago as of this writing and while I was terribly nervous as there was going to be a decent amount of drilling it all went much better than I thought I would. There was minimal discomfort through the whole procedure, the sedation was excellent as well as incredibly well timed and managed, from the instructions for before I got there, through the procedure to the aftercare at home. The next day I almost couldn’t tell I had a surgery there was no deep bone pain no swelling no bruising. I was only ever so slightly sore when I smiled. Which is a real surprise to me because there was a sinus lift associated with the procedure.
I can feel the stitches in my gum but there is no actual pain with them at all. I am having trouble remembering to not chew on that side of mouth because it feels totally normal.
I emailed Dr. Beck a question about scuba diving on Sunday as I forgot to ask before the procedure. She actually emailed me back a little while later [yes on a Sunday]. While I’m not allowed to dive for a few more days I had to ask because there’s practically no evidence that I had a surgery.
All in all I have to say that I’m beyond impressed with Dr. Beck’s work and I had no idea such complex and intense procedures could be carried out with such little stress and trauma. She is truly a master of what she does and in my opinion is extremely competent and nothing short of a savant in her field.

Dr. Tina Beck is fantastic! The office was lovely before but is now even better since they moved down the hall. The staff are pleasant and accommodating. However, the best thing about Dr. Beck is how talented and skilled she is. I had to have a gum graft to my two front teeth due to a terrible crown that was placed several years ago. The gum graft was pretty extensive as far as anything I have experienced before but Dr. beck was there throughout it all. She even called a couple of days after the surgery to check on me and made herself very available for any worries or questions I may have had. Together with Dr. Douglas Lee of radiant smiles in 4s ranch, they made my smile look wonderful. I highly recommend Dr. Beck and will continue to go to her for all my gum needs. She is just brilliant.

I went to Dr. Beck with an emergency. One of my molars had broken into the root. My regular dentist told me I would need a periodontist to take care of this serious problem. Dr. Beck was able to explain my difficulty and the options for the repair of the tooth clearly, but also showed her clinical knowledge. I felt comfortable that I would receive excellent care, which I did get. The extraction, bone graft, and prep for an implant was a pain free, positive experience. Dr. Beck’s caring was evident as she compassionately and competently took care of the problem.
The office manager made sure I was informed abut what my insurance covered and what my out-​of-​pocket expense would be. She offered different payment plans and I was able to take an option that would lower my cost. This was important to me since I am now retired. The entire staff was friendly and willing to answer all my questions.
I would recommend Dr. Beck to anyone who needs implant surgery. I trust her completely to provide excellent dental care.

I have seen Dr. Beck for a dental exam, xrays, and a cleaning. She was by far the sweetest woman and made me feel so comfortable being in the dental chair. She was very gentle and gave me some good tips on how I can better my hygiene at home. She spent so much time re-​teaching how I should brush and floss, and different tools I can use to floss with. Really helped me out. I loved the office it was so serene and relaxing. I will be making Dr. Beck a part of my yearly routine for checkups and if I ever need work I will definitely have Dr. Beck at my side! I have told all my friends and family about her and would recommend her to everyone.

I have been seeing Dr. Beck and her staff for about two years now. I love how friendly and welcoming everyone is at the office. I always feel that I am in good hands and that they really care about my overall dental needs. I would definitely recommend Dr. Beck to anyone who is in need of a periodontist as I have found my experiences to be of great quality and care.

Dr. Beck did a wonderful job and this procedure was copmpletely painless! i have been back twice and would recommend SCP for anyone who needs TLC! I am now a regular patient here!

I had bone graft surgery performed last week by Dr. Beck. She is awesome. The procedure was virtually painless and quick. I spent the weekend recovering with minimal swelling and discomfort. She checked in with me each day to make sure I was progressing. Back at work today and almost 100%. Thanks Dr. Beck. Implants coming up in six months — can’t wait!

Buyer beware. She did two procedures, both of which had really poor outcomes but she blindly maintained it «looked great». The place I went for a second opinion took such pity on the situation they redid the work pro bono. When was the last time a dentist did anything for free? That’s how bad it was. Fortunately the results were great the second time with someone way more experienced and skilled. No one should have to go through periodontal work twice due to poor workmanship. I absolutely do not recommend this dentist. She needs a few more years of supervised experience. She also came across as immature. There are plenty of other periodontists to go to. Avoid this one.

Dr. Beck has been so amazing. This is the first implant that I’ve ever had and I have to say that the entire experience as well as her staff has been incredible. You can tell in Dr. Beck’s work that she will not settle for the very most perfect job.
I have referred her to several people already and cannot imagine getting any implant work from anyone besides Dr. Beck. Thumbs UP all the way!

Dr. Beck is the professionals’ professional. She sensitively yet firmly described the health of my mouth using the images from her CT scanner. I hadn’t been to a dentist in 15 yrs. My neglect caused so much bacterial damage and infection in my gums and sinus cavity that I was, in Dr. Beck’s words, «a ticking time bomb» for heart disease, brain infection and a myriad of other detrimental health conditions. She completely restored my mouth and body to health for which I am truly indebted. Her skill and professionalism are top notch.

Dr. Beck is amazing. Her office is very nice, and provides a relaxing environment. Everyone on staff is friendly and courteous. The dental work I’ve gotten has been excellent and pain free. I would recommend Dr. Beck to anyone looking for the best dental surgeon.

Dr. Beck was amazing to me.
I was not the ideal patient. Due to other medical reasons I was grumpy. I am also a smoker for 43 years.
Most doctors just tell me «stop smoking». Even though I was seeing Dr. Beck for dental surgery, she took the time to say, in a meaningful way,…“Dan just try to cut it in half, it will make a difference”.
Well almost a year later her words have stuck with me, and I have cut the smoking in half… and it has made a difference… now to the next half.
So sorry for the long story, but Dr. Beck did not only preform excellent dental surgery, but took the time to care about my overall health.
Thank you Dr. Beck for taking the time to say something that I would listen to… you have made a difference.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Beck. I needed 3 wisdom tooth extractions that I had been putting off due to my severe anxiety about oral surgery. From the first interaction with her office (on the phone with Lisa) to Dr. Beck calling me the night of my surgery to check up on me, I felt Dr. Beck’s staff took great care of me. Dr. Beck took her time to go over my treatment plan, show me my 3D X-​Rays and discuss the risks of surgery with me. I appreciated her honesty and her confidence. The office is clean, modern and hi-​tech, not to mention beautiful! The office staff (Lisa and Taylor) were excellent. Lisa made the billing a breeze and Taylor did so much to help me relax the day of surgery when I was panicking. Dr. Beck made my surgery unbelievably easy. They made this experience so much easier for me and I’m so grateful to them! I would highly recommend this office!

I saw Dr. Beck for gingival grafting two days ago and had an amazing experience. The entire process was perfect… from the front desk, to the actual procedure, to the post-​op. I can honestly say that on a scale from 1 – 10 for pain (10 being the highest) I have been at a 1 – 2 on the day of surgery and day after surgery.
Dr.Beck clearly cares a lot about her patients and is very thorough. I even was asked how I was doing the evening of my surgery.
I was very nervous to have this procedure done (put it off for years) and I wish I would have done it a long time ago because it really was so much easier than I ever expected.
I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Beck, I even drove from Los Angeles to have her do my surgery and I am SO happy I did!

Dr. Tina Beck is a high-​caliber dental surgeon that I would recommend to anyone requiring any oral surgery. She is very thorough and makes you feel as if you are her only patient; she has a great personality and it is easy to mistake her for a good friend.
Everything about the experience has been wonderful from the beautiful office to the accomodating staff. Thanks for everything, Dr. Beck!

I’ve recently had periodontal surgery by Dr. Beck and she did an amazing job! She explained everything to me and made sure I knew exactly what was going to take place. She did an amazing job. I will be going back to have more surgery in a few weeks.
She makes you feel comfortable and has a super personality, is extremely knowledgeable about her work.
They greet you from the moment you walk in the door and make you feel at ease.
I highly recommend Dr. Beck!

Dr. Beck is a highly trained and skilled surgeon. Dr. Beck has done a fantastic job on both of my implants, and I am very satisfied with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Beck for any type of dental surgery. I also have to agree with the other post regarding the tranquil atmosphere of her office.

Had to have some minor gum surgery done to address some issues around one of my molars. Dr. Beck did a great job of explaining my options, executing the surgery, and I found the overall experience to be pleasant and professional. Very nice, modern office and equipment and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
