Encinitas Dental Designs

I’ve been coming here for about fifteen years. Everyone is friendly and very personable. Dr. Craft is the best and for those of us with a healthy dose of anxiety, you will be at ease, comfortable, and pain free (I always am, anyway).

I had an appointment for a deep cleaning at Dr. Craft’s office and Hannah did a great job just as last time I was there. She was friendly and courteous. She made me feel comfortable with the procedure and explained what’s involved. The process was quick and painless. I felt good afterward! The office staffs were friendly and efficient. They had already checked my insurance and knew what were covered. So, I knew exactly what I needed to pay without waiting. They also showed me possible insurance options and gave me some ideas since I was on the fence of continue using my old dental insurance. My experience at Dr. Craft’s office was always pleasant and respectful. I appreciate the genuine and authentic services provided by Dr. Craft, hygienist Hannah, and Shannon and Anna at the front office.

My overall experience was more then excellent. I am a recent student (again) and my health insurance from my old job was no longer active. I needed a cleaning and Dental Designs was recommended to me by a friend. When I called in and explained my situation they were so helpful and went over all of my options. They made sure that I knew that they wouldn’t do anything or charge me anything until I told them what I wanted done. I got the cleaning done by Hannah who was so kind and amazing at what she does, my teeth feel so good! She gave me an overview of my teeth with advise on how to take better care of them. To my surprise they have a first time patient free X-​rays which was so cool. They did find a cavity that I need filled but they have payment plans and to be honest they are much less expensive then the other quote I received so I can probably just pay it all at once. The cleaning and free X-​ray was so affordable. Overall 5 stars and I will be back

Yes, all these awesome reviews are true! No really! I have been a patient for years, but then went to a different dentist when I was uninsured. Now I have New Dental Choice (an awesome dental discount, amazingly cheap about $ 50/​year for significant dental discounts for whole family). I digress, but Dr. Craft is a gentle, honest and caring dentist. Years ago when I was told that I would need major dental work, Dr. Craft had me avoid the costly, invasive procedure and came up with a less painful and less costly solution which worked! Right there I knew he cared more about his patients than making money for unnecessary procedures. His hygienist Hannah is AWESOME! She is gentle & super thorough, the first hygienist where my mouth isn’t sore for 2 days. She walks you through everything she does and I love being able to catch up on the news with headphones and their ceiling TV while she did her work. She pointed out that I grind my teeth and recommended a night mouth guard. She also recommended and gave me 2 tiny scrub brushes that go between your teeth to minimize plaque in my bottom teeth. My teeth felt extra clean when I left the office and with these little brushes, I feel like I can keep that feeling! I can’t say enough about her, Dr. Craft and their office. The front office staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They even let me spin a prize wheel and I got $ 25 off my services that day! Thank you Dr. Craft and your awesome staff! See you in 6 months.

I had a very good experience in this office. From When I entered the office, till I left. Everything was very quick and efficient. the young lady that checked me in was very nice and was able to answer all of my question she had a really great attitude and you don’t always get that now a days, so cheerful and set this whole experience off on a great foot. Thanks you Desire for all of your help. My hygienist Hannah, always very nice, was professional and made the whole process very calming an easy. I will definitely be back

I am always worried about going to a new hygienist, but Hannah put all my worries at ease! She is so pleasant, sweet and educated. I got an amazing, gentle cleaning and was educated every step of the way! Dr. Craft was very thorough with explaining my treatment and it was painless!!! Love this place!!!

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to write a review after my experience yesterday. I recently changed my insurance, and had to change dentists. This office is so amazing, clean, and welcoming. Everyone was extremely nice. My hygienist Hannah was so professional, gentle, and the absolute sweetest! I will definitely be back again!

What a great experience! Thanks to your sweet dental hygienist Hannah. She made me feel so comfortable and welcome. My teeth have never felt cleaner, my mouth is always smiling now to show off my teeth. Thank you Hannah!

I was in for my bi annual cleaning an exam this morning at 8 am. Got in & out in less than an hour with an A+ score. Dr. Craft is the BEST dentist I know. Hannah was a great hygienist too. I would recommend his office to anyone I know. Bonnie Anderson

This office is awesome. Dr. Craft and the hygienist Hannah made me feel very comfortable and welcome. My teeth have never been cleaner! I will be back in the future and recommend my friends.

The staff are friendly and caring and just lovely, and Dr Craft helps you feel very, very comfortable, which I believe is not a simple thing to do. I don’t feel that dread of going to the dentist, since I discovered Dr Craft.

I can’t say enough about the exceptional care I’ve received from Dr. Craft for over a decade now. Steve has a calming voice and really makes you feel at ease when you sit in the oft dreaded chair. He listens attentively to your questions and explains procedures thoroughly so you are comfortable and informed. He also integrates the latest technologies at his office that provide ease for his patients. Say hello to: ONE DAY, ONE NUMBING, and ONE VISIT FOR A CROWN– so AWESOME! Your crown is milled in –house while you wait.
I have found Dr. Craft to be incredibly honest and reliable. I’ve had fillings and crowns both replaced free of charge over the years when he has felt it was a possible material error or too short of a life for the crown/​filling in question.
Additionally, the office staff has always been highly competent and efficient. When I’ve call for a dental emergency I am seen within 24 hours. Julie, the very sweet receptionist, provides on the spot insurance quotes for future procedures. The office has implemented text reminders and confirmantions for appointments which is really handy. It’s also pretty cool to get texts for last minute cleaning appointment when they are available. I highly recommend Dr. Craft if you are looking for the highest quality of care for you teeth.

Dr. Craft has been my dentist for years. For those of you squeamish about needles this is the place to go. I don’t know what he does but his injections are virtually painless. I always hated going because of that but it’s not a problem anymore. His staff is professional and friendly and Dr. Craft has a great, calming personality. I will continue to be a patient for years to come.

I had my teeth cleaned by Dyanna. She did an excellent job. She was gentle and thorough. My teeth feel great! So happy I chose Dr Craft and staff.

This office will work you in immediately if you have pain! I just had the first root canal of my life and Dr. Craft, assistant Mae, and Julie at the front desk could not have made it easier or more painless. I was really treated well for being a new patient. I recommend this office BIG TIME.

I have been seeing Dr. Craft for years. His staff is warm and friendly, they always greet me with a smile and make me feel welcomed. Dr Craft ‘s office has the latest technology. He was able to make my crown in the office while I waited, no temporary crown just to come back a week later. He has televisions in the office. I like that I can watch a movie while he works on my teeth its a nice distraction. He has the best staff his hygienist does a great job, I love the way my teeth feel right after they have been cleaned. Dr. Craft is a true professional, he is an excellent dentist and a good businessman as well. His office is clean, organized and runs smoothly. I have never had an issue when booking an appointment or being seen on time Dr. Craft understands that my time is important too and never makes me wait. I have recommended Dr. Craft to many of my family and friends and everyone of them have had nice things to say. Like most of us I am very busy, I appreciate and I know that I can be in and out of his office on time with the very best of care every time.
