Uptown Smiles Dentistry

Just returned from my latest semi-​annual tooth cleaning (with Deb of course !) & exam today. This practice just keeps getting better & BETTER with the recent assumption of it by Dr. Paul Luczynski.
I love his youth, energy — and as other Unilocalers state awesome chairside manner /​personality. His current knowledge of the ever-​changing dental field really puts one totally at ease. Today he gave me an oral cancer screening and we also agreed to a 2016 treatment plan to «fill» upper gaps between my teeth and receding gum lines to begin on my next visit.
For all my downtown resident neighbors (and ANYone all over SD county seeking top notch dental care) this is my personal recommendation…

I want to thank Dr. Salinger and the entire staff for the great service they provided. I was in vacation in San Diego this week and developed an extreme toothache last night. I called Uptown Smiles this morning at 7am and they had me in a chair being examined by 9am and a root canal started by 9:45. They went above and beyond the call of duty for someone that they are likely not going to see again. The entire staff was accommodating, friendly and very caring. Thanks once again. Julie even called me on Monday after the procedure to make sure everything was still ok.

I have been looking for a good dental office and dentist since I moved to the area 6 years ago. Well, I finally found it! The staff is so friendly, and they all take the time to address your questions and/​or concerns.
The dentist, Paul Luczynski, is so nice and very personable! I immediately felt at home here.
They were able to devise a treatment plan for me to get my teeth and gums back on track, and your dental health and wellbeing is their top priority.
Will definitely be coming back and will refer my friends and family!

Uptown Smiles delivers nothing but perfection. The Team is amazingly friendly, courteous, personable and truly cares about their patients. They help you to feel comfortable and even help you to understand the financial side of payments and best next steps. Dr. Paul is awesome. There isn’t much more I can say besides, this should be your dentist. :)

After almost 10 years at the same dental office, it was time to change for a variety of reasons. On Sept. 3, I had my new patient visit at Uptown Smiles and it was fantastic! I have always been a believer in semi-​annual visits and maintaining dental health, and Dr. Paul and hygienist Julia far exceeded my expectations. Plus, the two women at the front desk are extremely customer focused. The entire team is professional, personable, caring and talented. The office also has a great online patient system including text and email notifications if you want them. I’m so happy I switched!

Amazing dentist. Broke front teeth and he came in on a Sunday and fixed me better then before!

I visited Uptown Smiles yesterday for the first time. Everyone there, from the receptionist all the way up to Dr. Luczynski, was super friendly and extremely professional. I was told my visit would be two hours, since it was a first time consult, but they ended up spending three hours with me and I never felt rushed or pressured. I have quite a bit of dental anxiety, so their calm, friendly demeanor really helped put me at ease. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

The staff is extremely professional and friendly! If you are on the hunt for a dentist this is the place
The hygienist I saw today was gentle and talked me through each step of the cleaning I had (it had been a while so it was a doozy.)
Dr. Luczynski is everything you want in a dentist… friendly, educated, professional and trustworthy. It was the first time I felt like a dentist wasn’t trying to sell me on some crazy procedure.
The office is clean and offers great amenities. Free lipbalm and coffee are a plus (which I always pass on after they work so hard to remove the stains from my teeth.)
Parking is ample which is a plus in the Uptown area.
Yeah Uptown Smiles!

Best dentist staff I ever had. I’ve had several dentist in the past. Staff is awesome and friendly.

I have always had such a pleasant experience with my new neighborhood dentist! They have my teeth in tip top shape :)

This office is top notch. Dr. Paul is a great dentist. He takes the time to sit down and explain everything to you. Doesn’t try to pressure you into high priced services. Everyone who works at this practice is very professional and sweet. They all take the time to get to know you and your situation. I would highly recommend them.

I usually don’t do double Unilocal … but I had my first cleaning and exam at Uptown Smiles, so I needed to add a little. The hygienist was very thorough; she started giving me instructions on flossing and I thought it was sorta funny, I mean I’m 67 I have been flossing for a long time. Turns out not so, no straight up and down for those back molars — I now have a new flossing method — just when I thought I knew it all. Anyway, all joking aside, the visit went well. I have a few matters that need attention. I really appreciated Dr. Luczynski taking his time to explain what order he felt the treatments needed to be completed in order to spread out some of the financial aspects. I believe we have a good plan.

Plain and simple, Dr. Paul sums up what you want in your dentist; friendly, consultative and effective. Every cleaning, procedure and appointment has been handled with patients in mind and sparkling professionalism. The office is conveniently located with plenty of parking and overall takes some of the pain out visiting the dentist that we all feel from time to time. The staff in the office always greets with a smile and clues you in to what they are recommending, why and how much it will cost. They know how to have fun, too with great patient parties and upbeat conversation when the time is right… Highly recommended!

Dr. Paul and his staff are professional and extremely friendly! I’ve gone to numerous dental offices since moving to San Diego and have finally found an office that is accommodating and convenient. Everything Uptown Smiles does is what you would expect from a 21^st Century Dental Practice. I’d recommend Dr. Paul to all my family and friends.

This is a great office with a friendly staff. Both Doctor Luczynski and his staff seem experienced and are enjoyable to interact with. The operatory rooms have huge windows that look out into a pleasant garden, which can soften the nerves of those afraid of dentistry. All around a great place.

A very friendly, yet professional dental practice and overall an extremely pleasant experience. From the time I called to make an appointment all the way up until walking out the door, everyone was so helpful and friendly. Julie, the receptionist was so kind and went out of her way to get me the soonest and most convenient appointment possible. She even helped me get my paperwork sorted when I couldn’t get it printed out.
Probably one of the most amazing things about this office is that they are ON TIME! I couldn’t believe that my appointment was at 2pm and at exactly 2:00 I was being called back to go with my hygienist, Emily. Emily was so sweet, did very thorough x-​rays and cleaning for me and was able to address all of my questions and concerns so that I could understand.
Dr.Paul did an exam after that and eased my dental concerns by helping me to have a better understanding of what was going on and how to prioritize my concerns. I love that Dr. Paul gave me all my options up front and also took the time to give me enough information to make an informed decision without putting his agenda on me.
Everyone in the office was just so friendly, professional and just plain good at their jobs. I felt well taken care of and actually really enjoyed my time there. I have to say it’s a little odd to think that I am really looking forward to going back to the dentist… but I am. I even made my follow up appointment on my way out which I typically don’t do. Stoked to have a dental office that I am excited to come back to which will help my teeth stay on the right track.

I’ve never written a Unilocal review before, but after meeting Dr. Luczynski I couldn’t resist! I was referred to Dr. Luczynski by a family member who has been going to Uptown Smiles Dentistry for years. I was interested in invisaline and I also needed some routine work done (a few cavities needed to be filled). Dr. Luczynski had a very gentle touch and took his time to make sure everything was done just right. I have been so pleased since leaving the office, the contact between my teeth is perfect and my mouth has never felt better. I would also like to mention Dr. Luczynski’s attention to the cosmetic aspect of his work. He is as much an artist as he is a dentist.
His office is friendly, welcoming and has an overall great energy. If you are looking for a wonderful dentist in the San Diego area, Dr. Luczynski will not disappoint you!

Believe it or not, I actually now live in Seattle and fly to San Diego twice a year for my teeth cleaning and whatever dental work I need that year. Why? Because I have finally found a perfect dentist — Dr. Luczynski.
I have complex issues with my teeth and had gone through quite a few dentists before finding Dr. Luczynski. I have started seeing him a few years ago, before he took over this office. He has always done an excellent job! Whether it is a filling or a crown, they always feel and look perfect.
Dr. Luczynski never recommends or does more than is truly needed. I was in need of a lot of dental work and other dentists pressured me in doing it all at once, which was unaffordable. Dr Luczynski created a treatment plan for me, so that my teeth can be taken care of and I could afford it.
Highly recommend!

Dr. L and his talented staff are the best Dental Office I have ever known. I have a laundry list of complex issues with my teeth, they have handled all of them professionally and with great care. I can not recommend them enough!

I became Dr. Feider’s patient when she took over my dentist’s practice. I believe she has either intentionally or otherwise done dental work I did not need and in my case has done bad work. To add insult to injury it appears she charges more money to non-​insurance patients, in addition to being higher than a lot of other dentists in the area. As the coup de Gras, After she told me I needed yet another expensive crown, I found a dental plan that showed her as a participant where there was some amount of discounts on dentistry. After I purchased it I found out she did not honor that plan. So I went to another dentist who did honor it because she told me I had a dire emergency to replace yet another crown. I went to the new dentist with credit card in hand ready to get this crown replaced. After he examined the crown, he told me it did not need replaced, that we can keep an eye on it but that I may never need it replaced. Thankfully I found an excellent dentist who has integrity and is a perfectionist. This whole situation has been very expensive and distressing, and I’m very disappointed in Dr. Feider.
