Dr. Bosworth and the dental assistant Catherine are the best team anyone would love to work on their teeth! Dr. Bosworth is the most meticulous Dentist I have ever had. He is so patient and knowledgeable. He is also a perfectionist when it comes to my teeth. He made sure everything fits perfectly and the color of the teeth is perfectly natural! I’m so happy with the results. It’s life changing! I went from being afraid to smile because of how terrible my teeth were to now confidently smiling all the time! Everyone loves my smile now! Thank you Dr. Bosworth for making me a new person!

I have officially found ‘my Dentist’! After neglecting routine care and checkups for years, and passing on numerous recommendations for other practices.…I finally made a decision to book an appointment at Scripps Center for Dental Care. My brother couldn’t speak higher about his experiences and the staff so I just went with my gut. On my first visit I was so anxious (I didn’t just come in for ‘maintenance’ - I knew I needed some work), and I was met with such a calming/reassuring vibe from everyone. Dr. Nick is so detailed and thorough, and I’m so grateful for his level of communication! He took me step by step or *tooth by tooth through my x-rays. He took his time with me, answered all my questions and devised course of action. Next, I received THE most relaxing/gentle/pain free cleaning of my life by Minh! Overall, I left feeling so impressed and confident with all these interactions! Yesterday, I went in for Round 1 of care. Anxious again, I was met with the same calming/reassuring vibe

I was at a small dental practice for 20 years, but due to my ongoing and more complex dental needs, I tried the Scripps Center for Dental Care. Everything you need is under one roof so care coordination is all taken care of. Starting with Diana at the front desk, who was so reassuring and guided me through the entire process over 10 months (oral surgery, bone graft, implant, bridge, and crown). I am very happy with the care received from Dr. Gold and Dr. Bender. I am one of those anxious patients who passed out during dental appointments before due to high anxiety. Dr. Bender was so patient and kind and listened to me for 10+ minutes before starting an exam. I feel like I found the dental practice where I will stay for life!

On July 2nd, I visited this dental clinic for the first time, recommended by a friend. My friend had previously broken many teeth, but thanks to the clinic's skilled and patient treatment, she miraculously regained a row of beautiful, white teeth. Trusting my friend, I canceled my appointment in San Clemente and drove over an hour to come here. As soon as I entered, I felt the warm and friendly service from all the staff. Although it was my first time having a tooth extracted, their kindness eased my anxiety. The doctor gave me a very thorough examination and made thoughtful arrangements. On July 7th, I came here for my second time to have a tooth extracted because I was going to have cataract surgery. I have severe periodontitis, and to avoid affecting the success of the surgery, I needed to control the inflammation as soon as possible. Before the extraction, the surgeon patiently and meticulously examined the condition of every tooth in my mouth and patiently explained everything to me. My English isn't good, so the doctor patiently used Google Translate on his phone to explain slowly and carefully, and also asked about my post-extraction treatment plan. I originally needed two teeth extracted, but after the dentist administered anesthesia, he carefully examined me again before the extraction and found that one tooth could be saved. In the end, only one tooth was extracted. I am very grateful for the dentist's meticulous and responsible attitude! The dentist's skills are superb. My tooth was in poor condition, making the extraction somewhat difficult, but the dentist extracted it cleanly and efficiently in just a few minutes! I felt almost no pain. Afterwards, they gave me detailed instructions on post-extraction care, so the tooth recovered very well. I didn't need to take any painkillers at all; I only took the anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed, and the oral inflammation was quickly brought under control. I am extremely grateful for, appreciate, and trust this dental clinic's service and skills!

Going to the dentist isn’t something most people look forward to, but Danielle and Dr. Bender make it about as pleasant as a dental visit can possibly be. Danielle did my cleaning and was fantastic. She gave helpful advice without making me feel like I needed to throw away my entire existing dental routine. She was gentle, thorough, and made the whole process feel easy. Dr. Bender did my exam and was just as great—friendly, professional, and efficient. He managed to check everything out without making the appointment feel rushed or intimidating. Together, they have the rare ability to make sitting in a chair with bright lights in your face and tools in your mouth feel surprisingly relaxed. If you sometimes dread dental appointments, this is the team you want. They make the experience comfortable, professional, and even a little bit enjoyable—which is probably the highest compliment you can give a dentist’s office.

What an amazing experience, from the first phone call to the greeting by office staff to the assistant Denise and the work done by Dr. Bender. 10/10! We are visiting California from Utah and I chipped my front tooth. I called yesterday and made an appt for 9A.M today. I was so grateful to be seen so quickly and the work was absolutely perfect!

I would leave six stars if I could! Dr. Bender, John, and Maria took amazing care of me today. The whole visit was over the top. The gals at the front desk were very warm and friendly, making me feel at ease as soon as I arrived. Maria is a pro! Dr. Bender is very gentle and took the time to explain everything in detail. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone!! Don’t look anywhere else! ☺️
