I came here for a second opinion after another dentist had me mentally planning a GoFundMe for my teeth. 😅 I’m so glad I did.The front desk was awesome from the start — friendly, welcoming, and made walking in feel easy. The dentist took her time explaining everything and put together a plan that made sense and didn’t leave me feeling like I was signing up for a complete mouth makeover.🦷I went back today to get my cavities filled, and she was fantastic. Gentle, thorough, and constantly checking in to make sure I was good. She even called afterward to make sure I was doing okay. That kind of care is rare.If you’re looking for a dentist who takes her time, genuinely cares about her patients, and won’t have you pricing out a second job to pay for your teeth, I highly recommend coming here!

I can’t even put into words how grateful I am for Dr. Carmichael, she’s excellent. I’m very sensitive to the numbing and tend to have panic attacks/ anxiety whenever I get work done on my teeth due to side effects. I’ve had doctors in the past just ignore it and push through which made past experiences feel more like torture and eventually made me not go to the dentist for a couple years.(I know, gross. Don’t judge me😭) But going to Dr. Carmichael felt like a completely different experience, as soon as she noticed I was shaking she stopped and comforted me and explained thoroughly what we were doing and explained why I reacted that way to the numbing (I never knew why before and thought I was just being a cry baby about it lol) that honestly meant the world to me. And I’m extremely grateful for her and her staff. Thank you so much to you all.

After searching for a reputable dentist I found Dr. Carmichael. She has been great! I enjoy each visit and she has helped me not just with my teeth cleaning but also provided 4 crowns that were much needed! She has great bed side manner and really checks in to make sure your comfortable. I have since moved from the area but continue coming to see here! I won’t go anywhere else.

We’ve been going to Dr. Carmichael’s office for the past three years, and we couldn’t be happier with the care we receive. Both my kids and I are patients there, and every visit has been consistently positive. Dr. Carmichael and the entire team are incredibly professional, kind, and attentive. They make you feel comfortable and truly cared for.The office is clean, well-organized, and welcoming — and my kids actually look forward to their dental appointments! They also accept our insurance, which makes everything so much easier, and I really appreciate that they recently introduced a payment plan option — it shows they genuinely care about making dental care accessible for families.Highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a trustworthy, friendly, and skilled dental team!

My husband and I have been dental patients here for a little over 6 years. The cleanings are done thoroughly and Dr. Carmichael's office staff are easy to work with. They spent time and went to bat for us on contacting our insurance to resolve issues.

I had my deep cleanings done here and had a great experience! Everyone at Carmichael Dentistry is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Shari has been my hygienist for a couple of years and she has been fantastic! They are attentive, gentle, and thorough here. The front desk, as well as the other hygienists are no exception.

I’ve been coming to this dental office for about 3-yrs now and they’ve always been incredibly thorough in their treatment and care. Being a queer person it can sometimes be uncomfortable to find a new medical/dental office and I have never had any feelings of discomfort in this office. I have and will continue to recommend this office to anyone in the area

I have been going to this office for several years now and every visit has been amazing.From the front office to back office, everything has been outstanding! In my opinion this office sets the bar and the doctor Natalya Carmichael is the best. I do not see myself going anywhere else ever. All of my friends and family also go here and are very much happy.

UPDATE!!!I had my fillings done, and I'm thrilled with the results. Dr. Carmichael and Will were exceptional. The procedure was painless, and their expertise made me feel at ease throughout. I'm feeling good now, just a bit sore. I'm grateful for their excellent care and highly recommend them to anyone needing dental work.I haven't seen a dentist in over 10 years. I've always been afraid and ashamed of going because of my own lack of care for my oral hygiene. But the staff are the best. They helped me develop and explain a treatment plan that was not only wonderful and easy to understand but also fit my budget.They sat me in the room. Will was the kind gentleman who took care of my deep cleaning and x-rays. He helped calm my nerves while working very intensely on many years of plague and stains that were caked onto my teeth.Afterward, Dr. Carmichael and the front staff explained to me the follow-up procedures that were needed in the upcoming months. The entire time I felt well taken care of, and I am eager to make another appointment in the future. Highly recommend taking your whole family for a cleaning or any oral procedures that you need!

I came to Dr. Carmichael for a chipped tooth, my primary dentist was closed and all the way up in Temecula. Dr. Carmichael and her staff were able to get me in next day for X-rays and an exam, then just a few days later for a cleaning and my filling for the chipped tooth. They are kind, courteous, and most efficient. Dr. Carmichael did an amazing job on my filling for the chipped tooth, she is a skilled artist in her trade and now my primary dentist. Thank you!

Honestly, I’m afraid of dentists!! But Natalya is amazing! She’s kind, honest and all round professional. Pablo is AWESOME!! When I say he makes you feel comfortable and at home, he really does.
