Ablantis Dental

I moved to Solana Beach from downtown so I needed a closer dentist. I asked around but wasn’t too thrilled with some of the referrals. So I looked in my insurance directory and found this place. When I called they said they moved to Encinitas, which isn’t too far.
Dr. Cortadi is amazing. She is truly genuine and cares about her job. She knows what she’s doing! I had so many bad experiences with other dentists. My prior dentist suggested that I have my silver fillings removed. So I did but he did a horrible job! In addition, he never addressed my receding gum line and the sensitivity it caused. Dr. Cortadi suggested an option to get them bonded. Omg! She did a terrific job! Other dentists had never suggested this. I wish I had gone to her to replace the silver fillings too so I wouldn’t have gone through such a horrible experience from the prior dentist.
She is truly an artist! Loves her job and genuinely has bedside manners. She hums too as she works on your teeth. :)
Lastly, I had to get my night guards redone as well. The other dentist couldn’t get them right. Dr. Cortadi and her staff made sure it was done right. My impressions were good and the lab did a great job. Dr. Cortadi fitted it and explained that she didn’t want the back molars to hit the guard so that I don’t stress out my jaw. She talked about retraining the grind to hit the front teeth. I get a lot of ear aches because of grinding. The other dentist never took this into consideration or explained the guard. They never even asked for me to come back in a month to do a follow up to check the guard.
This kind of care and service is so worth the extra money I had to spend because the other dentist did my night guard wrong.
So happy to have found this place!!! Her staff is also very helpful!!!

Love this office. Everyone is pleasant, genuinely sweet, and professional. Dr. Cortadi is awesome, incredible dentist but also caring, hilarious, and always fair! Even my filling was filled with laughter and zero pain.

I’ve been going to Dr. Cortadi for almost seven years and have absolutely always had tremendous service. Her work is excellent, and she is friendly and professional. I’m not the easiest customer, and not (was not) particularly fond of going to the dentist in general, but she has made me more comfortable and confident about having work done. 5 stars.

Nice and easy! Everyone is most helpful and friendly. Makes the «dentist experience» pleasurable!

I love this office! I have always hated going to the dentist but since finding Ablantis Dental, it make the process enjoyable. Dr. Cortardi and staff are always nice and helpful. They never make me feel uncomfortable when I need to bring my son with me, actually, they are amazing with children. I would recommend her to anyone needing dental work!

As much as I HATE going to the dentist it was an awesome experience. The hygienist was very gentle compared to other dentist offices, which is a big thing for me. The staff are all very friendly yet professional at the same time. The location is easily accessible right off the freeway with ample parking.

Super organized office, clean, and really nice office staff. I really like how the doctor is extremely thorough with all of the work done. She really wants to do great work, not unecessary things like some dentists. I highly recommend this office.

I had lived in San Diego for 3 years and was searching for a good dentist I hit the jackpot when I met Claudia. I found her entire office to be professional and patient. I had my upper and lower teeth entirely redone and restored. None of the work was done until I understood both the process and the financial aspects. We did most of the work in two single days it was done by Claudia with updated equipment and by a super clinician «Eddie» who made my new caps on sight. I am a nervous patient and they made me feel comfortable. I highly recomend Ablantis Dental.

I came in for a clean up and X-​Rays, and was attended very quickly and professionally. The staff here was friendly and informative! After filling out some simple paperwork I was taken in by Heather to do my cleaning. She did an excellent job cleaning my teeth, not only was she physically attentive to my teeth she also kept in mind if I was in pain or not. There was no discomfort at all during the whole thing! I was then told I had two cavities and that a follow up appointment was recommended. After the service I received I was not hesitant to make that appointment. I was then scheduled two weeks later for fillings. This time Dr. Cortadi was the one who helped me out. She did a great job filling my teeth as there was zero pain during the whole procedure. It was over before I knew it! Dr. Cortadi definitely made my visit to the Dentist a pleasant one! I will no doubt be returning every couple months for a cleaning and check up. Excellent and professional service can be expected when coming to Ablantis Dental! I highly recommend coming here!

Thank you for very professional treatment very warm feeling that you make me feel every time I coming even that it only once in a while and big thank for making my teeth so beautiful!

I have been going to Ablantis Dental forseveral years. They are always pleasant and on-​time. Heather the hygienist is great and Dr. Cortadi is funny and skilled. I got my last Crown in only 1 day. WooHoo!!!

Staff is professional and super friendly. I’ve had a fantastic experience each time I’ve had my teeth cleaned. The dentist and hygienist do a superb job. I highly recommend Dr. Cortadi and her team!

Since there are so many happy reviews on here, I am going to let you be the judge.
My experience really deserves no stars, I find it hard to believe that there aren’t more honest reviews here.
You will have to go into the office and experience this yourself.
Areas of issues:
Quality of work
Cost of work
Billing to customer and insurance
False advertising
Over referring
Excessive «confirm» appointment times
Retaliation for canceling upcoming appointments
Misuse of credit card numbers
I think I’ll stop here. If you are customer and don’t experience any of this, lucky you! If you are considering this dentist, buyer beware, if you are an existing customer and have experienced some of this and it seems to happen the more you come in, time to write a review about it.

Dr. Cortadi and all of her staff are excellent. I am amazed that they have never been late or had to reschedule an appointment in the 7 years I have been a client of Ablantis Dental. They don’t try to oversell services as many dentists will try to do. 5 stars.

For the past 5 years I have had Claudia Cortadi as my dentist. She is full service and offers excellent dentistry .Her pricing is reasonable and she works with your insurance company to help defer the cost to the customer. I have recommended her to all my friends. Her dental hygienist is one of the best for cleaning the teeth. I am a very satisfied customer.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Cortadi as a dentist.
My mouth is in much better shape after seeing her a couple of (long) times.
I had some issues with billing, but the accountant was happy to work with me to fix them.

I highly recommend going to this dentist. She is thorough, very knowledgeable and nice. She explains everything and details the dental treatment you need. I went to her as a second opinion and was not disappointed. Her dental treatment for me addressed different problems that I did not know existed and addressed the extensive cleaning in a way I could understand how to prevent it in the future.

Not only is the dentist rude but she over charged me $ 200+. I went to her for a problem with my gums and she charged me for work she never did. When I looked the proceedure up and called to say this was not part of the treatment she returned my money but never said a word.
I wouldn’t hire her to mow my lawn.
