Great office. So comfortable and the work is so much better than I have had before.
Dr Abelar is a creative and technical genius. There is no problem he cannot solve with his up-to-date knowledge. His staff is the most helpful I have ever dealt with
Dr. Bergman was able to stabilize my jaw after suffering with TMJ for many years. His technical skills and patience changed my life for the better! The staff is wonderful!
Professional and friendly staff. No wait time. Quality service.
Fantastic dentist! The entire staff does a great job also.
Josie and the rest of the staff is terrific!
Dr Abilar and his staff are awesome - I feel extremely confident to be in their very capable hands regarding all of my dental care !! Great attention to detail and follow up - I have total confidence in Dr Abilar and the whole team ! Thank you !!
I have been a patient of Dr Abelar for many years now. He is an excellent dentist and also does beautiful cosmetic dentistry. He is always informative and his manner is comforting. His front desk staff is very nice and always accommodating. His assistant, Charlotte, is wonderful too. She is always a pleasure and she is good at keeping me comfortable. I feel very lucky to have such a great dentist! I highly recommend this office!!
I had my first appointment with Josie, the new hygienist. She was thorough, friendly, and a very professional. I give her five stars.
Excellent thorough cleaning with Jodi, who first asked if I had any problems or concerns. . Dr. Abelar reviewed my X-rays and discussed them with me. He explained in depth as we looked at the X-rays on a screen in front of us. I finished up with Kelly at the counter, (who also greeted me on arrival.) She was very friendly & professional. I scheduled a follow up appointment with Dr. Abelar before leaving. I liked that they have designated parking at side of office. I continue going back to Dr. Abelar & Jodi because of their top quality work, care and kindness.
Dr Abelar and his entire Team are more than excellent! I drove to San Diego, CA from Gold Canyon, AZ in order to have my teeth worked on by the BEST! Dr Abelar and his Team make me actually WANT to go to the Dentist! Crazy, right? They make me feel safe and are extremely concerned that I am comfortable throughout every procedure! They receive MORE than five STARS!!! 😊👏
I had such a great experience at the dentist today! I had new xrays taken by Susie and she was outstanding and they didn’t hurt at all. Then I met Dr. Cathy O. and her exam and treatment recommendations were very thorough and helpful. Then I met my new hygienist, Josie, who was so pleasant and technically excellent and I experienced absolutely no pain. I am thrilled with the care I receive at Dr. Abelar’s office!
Dr. Abelar and his incredible and friendly staff have been my only dental service for nearly 30 years. They are very professional , but treat you like family. They care and delivery the best total dentist experience I've had in my 65 years. I'm grateful and cannot imagine ever looking for anyone else.
Martin is a skilled and highly experienced practitioner. He goes over and beyond to deliver best in class results. However; this being said, his greatest strength is hiring. Over the past ten years I have borne witness to a succession of exceptional employees. Each has been cross-trained to deliver the a seamless client experience. As a client I appreciate professionalism.
For me trips to the dentist regardless of the reason is always filled with apprehension. That changed when I started using Dr. Abelar. Jody takes the fear and concern out of cleanings and check ups and Dr. Abelar is just the best I've used in my 65 years. He is kind and listens and understands my fears. He is a perfectionist and that means a lot to me.I moved from San Diego about six months ago but still travel back to San Diego to this group for my cleanings and dental work. I pay the expense of flight, hotel and rental car in addition to the cost of their services. That should say it all.BW
Best Smile around! Dr. Abelar has been taking care of my dental health for over 30 years, and he is truly an expert. His support staff made me feel quite comfortable, and the teamwork is outstanding.
Dr. Abelar has been my dentist for 20+ years. Over the years I moved a couple times and he moved his office. These moves made it a little inconvenient to get to his office so I tried a dentist closer to home. With that new dentist I had a couple cleanings and all seemed well. After one of my cleanings I had an exam with that dentist. After the exam he moved me into the "consultation room" to discuss the exam. In the room he proceeded to tell me that I had a crown that was failing and that I should get it replaced ASAP. As he was telling me this his assistant was handing me the estimate and asking for a time to schedule. It all seemed very weird to me so I called Dr. Abelar and asked to come in to see what he thought. He took a look and said that my crown was fine and I did not need anything and in fact he was absolutely right. Five years later still no issues. Just the other day I bit into something hard and it caused some discomfort so I called and went in. He took a look and said everything was fine and that the discomfort would go away over a few weeks and it has. Again, integrity. In my mind, not only does Dr. Abelar have the highest integrity he is an amazing dentist. All the work he has done for me has yet to fail. I won't anyone drill in mouth but him and yes I now happily travel to see him. You want a dentist that you can trust that does amazing work Dr. Abelar is that dentist.
Very professional and meticulous dental work.
Outstanding! I had a complication by another dentist- Dr Abelar quickly assessed and corrected the problem- experience just can't be taught! The office is quiet and elegant and the staff are friendly and polite. Many thanks!
When you love leaving the dentist, that definitely tells me something about this gem. I just had my cleaning and I can't wait to go back. I was struggling to find a new dentist as I just moved here to SD. I'm so happy I found Dr. Abelar and his team. Literally from start to finish the experience was great. I was really nervous finding a new dentist because everywhere I looked had horrible reviews/not reliable reviews. Kelly was awesome and helpful finding me an appointment with my busy schedule and accommodating as she fit me in within a week of me calling them. Jody was super awesome! She was the hygienist. Made me super comfortable and I could tell she was doing a thorough job on getting all that gunk built up. You can tell the difference when they just scrap here or there versus when they are getting every single tooth and in the gums. My X-rays apparently made everyone go bananas there since my wisdoms were at a horrible position but Dr. Abelar was honest and made me feel that his team were real genuine. My wisdoms don't hurt or bother me so we'll just take it one step at a time. I can't stress enough how lucky I feel finding this place. Glad I have a new dentist as I make SD my new home. Thanks guys! See you in 6 month!!
Going to the dentist is not much like a day at the spa, but if you could give a spa day to your teeth, Dr. Abelar's practice would be the only place to go! This place is just fantastic. From the welcoming, friendly staff to the newest/best technology and the beautiful spa like ambiance, this is a top shelf experience every time! Do your teeth a favor and check out this place for the best of the best in dentistry. A big thank you to the whole team for always making my visits so great, I can't say enough good things! I drive from Los Angeles to San Diego to go here and I'll never go anywhere else!
Dr Abelar has been my dentist for decades. He and everyone that works in his office is friendly and professional. He has outstanding integrity, uses all the latest technologies and is concerned about best interests of each patient
Outstanding! I finally bit the bullet and decided to do my veneers- I was so worried that they would look fake but they look better than real! Dr Abelar is a perfectionist. His staff is very professional and friendly. Very grateful! Highly recommend!
Dr. Abelar and his entire team are fabulous! His attention to detail and willingness to keep his patients comfortable and informed is a breath of fresh air. Jody is the best Hygienist you'll find. The entire staff know what they're doing and take the dread out of having any dental work done! Two Thumbs Up!!
great communication, great people, very professional, super work
One of the best dentists EVER
My wife and I are very satisfied patients of Dr. Abelar for the past 17 years.
Always a 5 Star experience. Great dentistry, efficient and every is exceptionally professional.... and nice too ! Thanks for the great service.
Once again I have had an amazing experience here. Right from the start with Kelly who makes you feel right at home and is so pleasant to the absolutely painless treatment by Dr Abelar! ( also had my teeth cleaned a little over a week ago by Jody and she was terrific as always! If you are in the market for a new dentist with state of the art experience this is your new home! The ENTIRE staff here is the best !!!!
I continue to drive 20+ miles to see Dr. Abelar for my dental work and the excellent Jody for cleanings. All details are handled, like warming up the rinse water because I am cold sensitive, and painting desensitizing gel on my gums before a cleaning to make it more comfortable. There's always a soft pillow and an engaging conversation. The time just flies! This is a 5-star practice. If there were 6 stars, I would choose that!
It is easy to extol the virtues of Dr. Abelar's office: friendly, warm, encouraging, professional, but while this is my experience on every visit, it is the results they produce that separates them from every other dentist I have been to. This recent visit involved a semiannual teeth cleaning, which was performed by the gold standard of all hygentist's, Jody. She is a compassionate advocate for your health and well being. By following her hygiene recommendations, my margins were virtually all 2 and 3. I used to have undergo deep cleanings for all 4 quadrants. These are now a thing of the past. Her help has virtually eliminated tooth decay, produced a healthy smile, and eliminated unwanted hours in the dental office and has saved me a lot of money! Dental health is very important, not only for your appearance, but also for your pocketbook. You and your family deserve the best and Dr. Abelar's office Is the place where your teeth should going.
It is hard to imagine how my experience could have been better. Dr. Abelar and Jody have cared for my teeth since 2003. After contemplating medically-recommended upper veneers for two years, I was still anxious but decided to do it. Dr. Abelar, Charlotte, Kelly, and Jody were totally patient and helpful with my many questions, professional with very high standards, efficient without rushing, with a wonderful outcome. Their patient is the whole person, not just your teeth.
I had a dental emergency and my regular dentist did not have emergency or after hour services. I met Dr. Abelar at a few events and knew he was a professional dentist so I contacted him and he said that he would be happy to see me and see if he could be of any help. I was able to see him 20 mins after my phone call to him. His office is very conveniently located to my home and was able to get there in 10 mins. When I arrived he greeted me and took X-rays and told me the best suggestion he had to alleviate all the pain I was in was to extract the tooth. I happily agreed and in a matter of minutes the tooth was removed and I was on my way to healing. Dr. Abelar is extremely knowledgeable, professional and one of the best. Glad to now have him as my dentist as well as a friend. I highly recommend him to everyone!!
I am always happy to visit my dentist's office for my routine cleanings and exams! Dr. Abelar is very thorough and is an excellent dentist. Jody is the best hygienist in San Diego and always does such a great job cleaning my teeth! I would highly recommend their office to anyone looking for a great dental experience!
Dr. Abelar, has been my dentist for years! I think he is the best dentist in San Diego! His hygienist, Jody, is the best dental hygienist and most thorough I have ever known! I wouldn't let anyone else clean my teeth with the exception of Dr. Abelar! Dr. Abelar, is extremely gifted and artistic! He has done an extraordinary job creating a million dollar smile for me He will always be my dentist!
I had my dental cleaning appt with Josie, Dr.Abelar's Friday hygienist. Would highly recommend her. She is very thorough and gentle. The office is very nice, clean and everyone is friendly. Check Dr. Abelar and his office out if your looking for a great Dentist and Quality care!
Absolutely the best from jody the hygeneist toDr abelar and his medical asistant to the receptionist up front.
My family and I have been clients of Dr. Abelar for about 40 years. We have always found the Dr. and his staff to be careful and thoughtful about their recommendations and their dental work whether it be dental procedures or cleaning and maintaining our teeth and our mouth. Dr. Abelear and his staff have the latest equipment to work with and the latest training to operate the equipment. They are all on the "cutting edge" of dental procedures, cleaning and dental maintenance and insurance and billing. I have nothing but good things to say about the Dr. Abelar and his staff.
I love going to my dentist. Check in is always simple and the team at Dr. Abelar's is always on time. And who thought getting your teeth cleanied could be so delightful . Thank you Dr. Abelar for caring for my teeth, as much as I do
I have been a patient of Dr. Abelar’s for nearly 20 years now. During this period of time, I have undergone an array of procedures, from standard fillings to root canals. I have also experienced cosmetic dentistry in the way of frontal veneers with him. I can say with 100% honesty that I have never had a single unpleasant experience with Dr. Abelar. He is exceptionally skilled, talented, professional, and an absolute expert in the field. In addition to being a gifted dentist, he is also very artistic, which explains why he is the best cosmetic dentist in San Diego. His attention to detail is truly unsurpassed.It is for these reasons that I trust my teeth and smile to no other dentist, and also why I have referred him to all of my friends and family members, all of who are equally satisfied. I have never heard anything but appreciation from those to whom I have referred Dr. Abelar.Dr. Abelar’s practice is incredibly beautiful, clean, modern, and well-maintained. As an individual, Dr. Abelar is unequivocally compassionate, considerate, and caring. He is a true gentleman, which was clear from the moment I met him. Likewise, his staff members are very knowledgeable, efficient, kind, and sincere. Their concern is clearly genuine, and they very much help ensure that you are always comfortable and taken care of.
Always a great experience at Dr. Abelar's. He is quick to help out when I have had dental "emergencies". Great office staff too! I highly recommend Dr. Abelar for all of your dental needs.
I don't know how long I have been going to Dr. Abelar and his team. A long time. Let's not think about it. It will only remind me of my age. To the important stuff.... Doc is the man. I have always had a pleasant experience with him. Fortunately for me, I haven't had to see him a lot. Why? Because I have the best hygienist on the planet. I'm pretty sure I can go ahead and assume she's the best in the milky way galaxy, too. Jody, Jody, Jody... my favorite healthcare provider - period. Takes care of my teeth with the most comprehensive cleanings ever. She's a joy to be around and makes the time go by quickly and painlessly (as a masochist, I enjoy pain in the dental chair though.. so YMMV). I have a really hot wife. I wouldn't have her with messed up teeth. Seriously. Imagine Pitt or Clooney or Cooper with messed up teeth. Makes a difference, right? And I'm somewhat of a troll, too. But with nice teeth. Jody is the reason I have a hot wife. Thank you, Jody and the entire Abelar crew. A+++++++++++. Can't say it enough.
I was very impressed with the beautiful office when I first walked in. The front desk lady, Kelly is the first person and the last person one sees in this gorgeous office. It's great when one walks into an office for the first time to meet a lovely lady as Kelly as she has a beautiful smile and a friendly personality. She takes care of all the billing and setting appointments. The office has state of the art technology. Dr. Abelar is very professional and all business! He was totally focused, fast, and was overall excellent when he changed my silver fillings to white! He is very intelligent and I feel confident in him in as a dentist. I absolutely love Charlotte! She not only is my friend from 7th grade, but she was the one who recommended this beautiful office which is conveniently located in my neighborhood of work and home. Charlotte has great a great bedside manner and accommodates me with a pillow for my neck every time I sit in the dentist's chair. She is always making sure I feel comfortable every time I come to visit. Charlotte and Dr. Abelar work great together, they both even made me feel like a Queen after they "crowned" and saved my tooth! Jody the dental hygienist has cleaned my teeth twice already and both times I met with her she always makes me feel comfortable and at home. She gave me great tips on how to keep my teeth clean. I highly recommend Dr. Abelar and his staff. They make me feel beautiful and like a rock star every time I come to visit!
Jody really makes it a point to connect with her patients and make sure they're comfortable. Every appointment is both efficient and pleasant. Also, she plays great music! We were jammin' to Beyonce today.
This is "THE" best dental office---EVER!!! I am a retired dentist. I know and understand quality. Dr Abelar is the best that I know. That is why I go there and pay regular fees as everyone else. The office staff are always friendly and helpful! They become as family over a few visits. My friends are jealous of my smile and have said so! Haha ---- Thanks, Dr, Abelar!!
All the staff here are wonderful. The studio is exquisitely spotless, tranquil, and doesn't feel as sterile as many other dentistry offices...it doesn't have that dentist smell. All the chairs are set up with client's privacy in mind. My technician was so sweet. She was friendly but not overly talkative, and explained every detail of what she was doing to me. She periodically checked in with me to see how I was doing: thank you! I was greeted by name with a huge smile from everyone- the receptionist, Dr.Abelar, and my technician, even though I am a rather new patient. I HATE that horrid gritty toothpaste that they use but she made sure the unpleasantness of this experience was minimized for me. Bottom line = Super fine work. Delicate, thoughtful, comfortable, with a meticulous attention to detail.Thanks team Abelar!
Dr. Abelar and his team are absolutely the most professional and understanding people I have ever had the pleasure to interact with. I am the biggest "scardy cat" when it comes to seeing the dentist - I even sweat when I simply go for a cleaning. Let's just say I had a horrible dentist - he used to hit me around the mouth and face - when I was growing up. Dr. Abelar is gentle, informative and I trust him unconditionally. Jodi - my Dental Hygienist - is fabulous! I adore her! I highly recommend Dr. Abelar to everyone. His expertise is supreme and I am confident that he would not object to me calling him my friend. I actually love going to see him. I hope this is helpful to any and all individuals/families. You will be seeing the best!
Just recently discovered Dr. Abelar and his great staff. Very professional, courteous, flexible and of course- most important - excellent dental care! Would highly recommend to others!
Very friendly and helpful office staff. Easy to make/change appointments. My son had a custom mouth guard fabricated by Dr. Abelar for sports. It was an overall positive experience. Thank you.
Dr. Abelar and his staff are top notch and I would highly recommend them to family and friends. They are wonderful at making patients feel comfortable, communicate extremely well and do great dentistry. I am thrilled with their staff and have always had a great experience both with cleanings and more extensive dental work. If you don't love your dentist or are looking for a new office you need to check out Dr. Abelar and his team.
Stopped in today to get my teeth whitened and I am extremely happy with the results! Jamie was able to sneak me in for a last minute appointment and I was in and out within an hour! So much easier than using the over the counter white strips every night for a week plus! Charlotte was so sweet and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process! I always recommend Dr. Abelar, Aesthetic Dentistry to all my friends and will definitely suggest that they try their teeth whitening as well. I'll be back in a few months for my semi-annual teeth cleaning :)
I absolutely ADORE this office and every team member! At my first visit, I was immediately "at ease" -- the environment is professional, friendly, relaxed, and inviting. Dr. Abelar is affable and thorough. Jodie, his dental hygienist, is a dream! Of course, the office manager, Jamie is warm & welcoming...I am spreading the word!
Dr Abelar has done one crown for me and it has performed very well. I have managed to crack another molar and will be going back to him for the second crown. I recently went for cleaning and X-rays and Dr Abelar's staff was very pleasant and patient as I was running late due to traffic. They did not make me feel rushed and were ready for me when I arrived. The hygienist Jody is very experienced and knowledgeable. The office is very clean and well designed. I would recommend them to my family/friends and it is worth the drive.
Dr. Abelar's smiles shows he practices cosmetic dentistry. Hope to see him soon!
Ones choice in dentistry services is much like the selection of a restaurant in that each of us has a list of what's most important to them and that list will vary from person to person. Dr. Abelar's practice checks all my important boxes: cleanliness beginning at the front door and extending throughout the facility; competency of the staff, follow through, organization, accuracy and interpersonal skills are important; doctor's talents, skills and knowledge in the latest techniques and use of the most modern, up to date equipment are factors most important in dentistry to me. Dr. Abelar's off uses digital equipment, some of the most modern available, allowing for very accurate and precise procedures with little discomfort for the patient. When necessary the doctor will use the iTero Oral Digit Scanner to produce a 3D depiction of your entire jam and teeth. Combine all those factors with a very skilled support staff and Dr. Abelar's talents in aesthetic dentistry and you have my choice as one of the best in San Diego.
I've been going to Dr. Abelar for several years. The doctor and his staff are professional, friendly and caring. When I find a doctor or dentist that I like, I stay with them.
Dr. Abelar practices 21st Century dentistry! He and his team professionally utilize the most "up to moment" equipment. My experience having a crown replacement was superb. I have also had the great experience of a hygiene appointment with Jodie. She is wonderful. I will not be returning to my old dentistry office even though it requires me to make an hour drive to get to Aesthetic Dentistry it's more than worth it.
To start, Dr. Abelar is a fine dentist, the best! Upon walking into the office you experience a very nice smelling lobby and are greeted by a cheery, smiley receptionist. The office is equipped with the best of the best technology and I always know when I go there, I'm getting the most updated experience. His practices are professional and promising. I always feel safe in the hands of Dr. Abelar and would recommend him to anyone, any day.
Dr. Abelar has been our dentist for years. He opened the office on a Sunday to do emergency repair to my daughters front teeth. His work is impeccable. His staff is extremely friendly and I love my hygienist.I highly recommend Dr Abelar!
I've had my share of so-called negative experiences when it comes to the dentist, so it's refreshing when you encounter great dental establishments like Dr. Martin Abelar's. The establishment is extremely clean and organized and up-to-date on equipment. I know I've been in dental offices where things weren't as tidy as they could have been or seem to skip out on updating dental chairs or equipment, but I don't get that at all here and that's something I greatly appreciate as a patient.The staff is warm, friendly and approachable. Dr. Abelar is truly a genuine and knowledgeable professional. He makes me feel at ease while still maintaining the highest degree of professionalism. I was informed of everything pertaining to my treatment while it was occurring, and my questions and concerns were immediately addressed. He really made me feel that he is here to help his patients and offered some great advice. Thank you to my friend who introduced me to Dr. Abelar and his exceptional work :)
As a person who does not go to the dentist very often I must say I have no problem going back to this office. I like my personal space so the thought of getting x-rays was slightly unsettling however the hygienist was friendly yet wasn't too chatty which is good seeing as how my mouth was too busy to talk much. My appointment time was surprisingly the time I was taken to the back even though I wasn't finished filling out the forms.(which like a boss was an ipad d^_^b) Overall it was a good experience for me... for the person complaining about pricing... get mad at your insurance for being cheap, not at their office.
Great office. So comfortable and the work is so much better than I have had before.
Dr Abelar is a creative and technical genius. There is no problem he cannot solve with his up-to-date knowledge. His staff is the most helpful I have ever dealt with

( also had my teeth cleaned a little over a week ago by Jody and she was terrific as always! If you are in the market for a new dentist with state of the art experience this is your new home! The ENTIRE staff here is the best !!!!
I continue to drive 20+ miles to see Dr. Abelar for my dental work and the excellent Jody for cleanings. All details are handled, like warming up the rinse water because I am cold sensitive, and painting desensitizing gel on my gums before a cleaning to make it more comfortable. There's always a soft pillow and an engaging conversation. The time just flies! This is a 5-star practice. If there were 6 stars, I would choose that!
It is easy to extol the virtues of Dr. Abelar's office: friendly, warm, encouraging, professional, but while this is my experience on every visit, it is the results they produce that separates them from every other dentist I have been to. This recent visit involved a semiannual teeth cleaning, which was performed by the gold standard of all hygentist's, Jody. She is a compassionate advocate for your health and well being. By following her hygiene recommendations, my margins were virtually all 2 and 3. I used to have undergo deep cleanings for all 4 quadrants. These are now a thing of the past. Her help has virtually eliminated tooth decay, produced a healthy smile, and eliminated unwanted hours in the dental office and has saved me a lot of money! Dental health is very important, not only for your appearance, but also for your pocketbook. You and your family deserve the best and Dr. Abelar's office Is the place where your teeth should going.
It is hard to imagine how my experience could have been better. Dr. Abelar and Jody have cared for my teeth since 2003. After contemplating medically-recommended upper veneers for two years, I was still anxious but decided to do it. Dr. Abelar, Charlotte, Kelly, and Jody were totally patient and helpful with my many questions, professional with very high standards, efficient without rushing, with a wonderful outcome. Their patient is the whole person, not just your teeth.
I had a dental emergency and my regular dentist did not have emergency or after hour services. I met Dr. Abelar at a few events and knew he was a professional dentist so I contacted him and he said that he would be happy to see me and see if he could be of any help. I was able to see him 20 mins after my phone call to him. His office is very conveniently located to my home and was able to get there in 10 mins. When I arrived he greeted me and took X-rays and told me the best suggestion he had to alleviate all the pain I was in was to extract the tooth. I happily agreed and in a matter of minutes the tooth was removed and I was on my way to healing. Dr. Abelar is extremely knowledgeable, professional and one of the best. Glad to now have him as my dentist as well as a friend. I highly recommend him to everyone!!
I am always happy to visit my dentist's office for my routine cleanings and exams! Dr. Abelar is very thorough and is an excellent dentist. Jody is the best hygienist in San Diego and always does such a great job cleaning my teeth! I would highly recommend their office to anyone looking for a great dental experience!
Dr. Abelar, has been my dentist for years! I think he is the best dentist in San Diego! His hygienist, Jody, is the best dental hygienist and most thorough I have ever known! I wouldn't let anyone else clean my teeth with the exception of Dr. Abelar! Dr. Abelar, is extremely gifted and artistic! He has done an extraordinary job creating a million dollar smile for me He will always be my dentist!
I had my dental cleaning appt with Josie, Dr.Abelar's Friday hygienist. Would highly recommend her. She is very thorough and gentle. The office is very nice, clean and everyone is friendly. Check Dr. Abelar and his office out if your looking for a great Dentist and Quality care!
Absolutely the best from jody the hygeneist toDr abelar and his medical asistant to the receptionist up front.
My family and I have been clients of Dr. Abelar for about 40 years. We have always found the Dr. and his staff to be careful and thoughtful about their recommendations and their dental work whether it be dental procedures or cleaning and maintaining our teeth and our mouth. Dr. Abelear and his staff have the latest equipment to work with and the latest training to operate the equipment. They are all on the "cutting edge" of dental procedures, cleaning and dental maintenance and insurance and billing. I have nothing but good things to say about the Dr. Abelar and his staff.
I love going to my dentist. Check in is always simple and the team at Dr. Abelar's is always on time. And who thought getting your teeth cleanied could be so delightful . Thank you Dr. Abelar for caring for my teeth, as much as I do
I have been a patient of Dr. Abelar’s for nearly 20 years now. During this period of time, I have undergone an array of procedures, from standard fillings to root canals. I have also experienced cosmetic dentistry in the way of frontal veneers with him. I can say with 100% honesty that I have never had a single unpleasant experience with Dr. Abelar. He is exceptionally skilled, talented, professional, and an absolute expert in the field. In addition to being a gifted dentist, he is also very artistic, which explains why he is the best cosmetic dentist in San Diego. His attention to detail is truly unsurpassed.It is for these reasons that I trust my teeth and smile to no other dentist, and also why I have referred him to all of my friends and family members, all of who are equally satisfied. I have never heard anything but appreciation from those to whom I have referred Dr. Abelar.Dr. Abelar’s practice is incredibly beautiful, clean, modern, and well-maintained. As an individual, Dr. Abelar is unequivocally compassionate, considerate, and caring. He is a true gentleman, which was clear from the moment I met him. Likewise, his staff members are very knowledgeable, efficient, kind, and sincere. Their concern is clearly genuine, and they very much help ensure that you are always comfortable and taken care of.
Always a great experience at Dr. Abelar's. He is quick to help out when I have had dental "emergencies". Great office staff too! I highly recommend Dr. Abelar for all of your dental needs.
I don't know how long I have been going to Dr. Abelar and his team. A long time. Let's not think about it. It will only remind me of my age. To the important stuff.... Doc is the man. I have always had a pleasant experience with him. Fortunately for me, I haven't had to see him a lot. Why? Because I have the best hygienist on the planet. I'm pretty sure I can go ahead and assume she's the best in the milky way galaxy, too. Jody, Jody, Jody... my favorite healthcare provider - period. Takes care of my teeth with the most comprehensive cleanings ever. She's a joy to be around and makes the time go by quickly and painlessly (as a masochist, I enjoy pain in the dental chair though.. so YMMV). I have a really hot wife. I wouldn't have her with messed up teeth. Seriously. Imagine Pitt or Clooney or Cooper with messed up teeth. Makes a difference, right? And I'm somewhat of a troll, too. But with nice teeth. Jody is the reason I have a hot wife. Thank you, Jody and the entire Abelar crew. A+++++++++++. Can't say it enough.
I was very impressed with the beautiful office when I first walked in. The front desk lady, Kelly is the first person and the last person one sees in this gorgeous office. It's great when one walks into an office for the first time to meet a lovely lady as Kelly as she has a beautiful smile and a friendly personality. She takes care of all the billing and setting appointments. The office has state of the art technology. Dr. Abelar is very professional and all business! He was totally focused, fast, and was overall excellent when he changed my silver fillings to white! He is very intelligent and I feel confident in him in as a dentist. I absolutely love Charlotte! She not only is my friend from 7th grade, but she was the one who recommended this beautiful office which is conveniently located in my neighborhood of work and home. Charlotte has great a great bedside manner and accommodates me with a pillow for my neck every time I sit in the dentist's chair. She is always making sure I feel comfortable every time I come to visit. Charlotte and Dr. Abelar work great together, they both even made me feel like a Queen after they "crowned" and saved my tooth! Jody the dental hygienist has cleaned my teeth twice already and both times I met with her she always makes me feel comfortable and at home. She gave me great tips on how to keep my teeth clean. I highly recommend Dr. Abelar and his staff. They make me feel beautiful and like a rock star every time I come to visit!
Jody really makes it a point to connect with her patients and make sure they're comfortable. Every appointment is both efficient and pleasant. Also, she plays great music! We were jammin' to Beyonce today.
This is "THE" best dental office---EVER!!! I am a retired dentist. I know and understand quality. Dr Abelar is the best that I know. That is why I go there and pay regular fees as everyone else. The office staff are always friendly and helpful! They become as family over a few visits. My friends are jealous of my smile and have said so! Haha ---- Thanks, Dr, Abelar!!
All the staff here are wonderful. The studio is exquisitely spotless, tranquil, and doesn't feel as sterile as many other dentistry offices...it doesn't have that dentist smell. All the chairs are set up with client's privacy in mind. My technician was so sweet. She was friendly but not overly talkative, and explained every detail of what she was doing to me. She periodically checked in with me to see how I was doing: thank you! I was greeted by name with a huge smile from everyone- the receptionist, Dr.Abelar, and my technician, even though I am a rather new patient. I HATE that horrid gritty toothpaste that they use but she made sure the unpleasantness of this experience was minimized for me. Bottom line = Super fine work. Delicate, thoughtful, comfortable, with a meticulous attention to detail.Thanks team Abelar!
Dr. Abelar and his team are absolutely the most professional and understanding people I have ever had the pleasure to interact with. I am the biggest "scardy cat" when it comes to seeing the dentist - I even sweat when I simply go for a cleaning. Let's just say I had a horrible dentist - he used to hit me around the mouth and face - when I was growing up. Dr. Abelar is gentle, informative and I trust him unconditionally. Jodi - my Dental Hygienist - is fabulous! I adore her! I highly recommend Dr. Abelar to everyone. His expertise is supreme and I am confident that he would not object to me calling him my friend. I actually love going to see him. I hope this is helpful to any and all individuals/families. You will be seeing the best!
Just recently discovered Dr. Abelar and his great staff. Very professional, courteous, flexible and of course- most important - excellent dental care! Would highly recommend to others!
Very friendly and helpful office staff. Easy to make/change appointments. My son had a custom mouth guard fabricated by Dr. Abelar for sports. It was an overall positive experience. Thank you.
Dr. Abelar and his staff are top notch and I would highly recommend them to family and friends. They are wonderful at making patients feel comfortable, communicate extremely well and do great dentistry. I am thrilled with their staff and have always had a great experience both with cleanings and more extensive dental work. If you don't love your dentist or are looking for a new office you need to check out Dr. Abelar and his team.
Stopped in today to get my teeth whitened and I am extremely happy with the results! Jamie was able to sneak me in for a last minute appointment and I was in and out within an hour! So much easier than using the over the counter white strips every night for a week plus! Charlotte was so sweet and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process! I always recommend Dr. Abelar, Aesthetic Dentistry to all my friends and will definitely suggest that they try their teeth whitening as well. I'll be back in a few months for my semi-annual teeth cleaning :)
I absolutely ADORE this office and every team member! At my first visit, I was immediately "at ease" -- the environment is professional, friendly, relaxed, and inviting. Dr. Abelar is affable and thorough. Jodie, his dental hygienist, is a dream! Of course, the office manager, Jamie is warm & welcoming...I am spreading the word!
Dr Abelar has done one crown for me and it has performed very well. I have managed to crack another molar and will be going back to him for the second crown. I recently went for cleaning and X-rays and Dr Abelar's staff was very pleasant and patient as I was running late due to traffic. They did not make me feel rushed and were ready for me when I arrived. The hygienist Jody is very experienced and knowledgeable. The office is very clean and well designed. I would recommend them to my family/friends and it is worth the drive.
Dr. Abelar's smiles shows he practices cosmetic dentistry. Hope to see him soon!
Ones choice in dentistry services is much like the selection of a restaurant in that each of us has a list of what's most important to them and that list will vary from person to person. Dr. Abelar's practice checks all my important boxes: cleanliness beginning at the front door and extending throughout the facility; competency of the staff, follow through, organization, accuracy and interpersonal skills are important; doctor's talents, skills and knowledge in the latest techniques and use of the most modern, up to date equipment are factors most important in dentistry to me. Dr. Abelar's off uses digital equipment, some of the most modern available, allowing for very accurate and precise procedures with little discomfort for the patient. When necessary the doctor will use the iTero Oral Digit Scanner to produce a 3D depiction of your entire jam and teeth. Combine all those factors with a very skilled support staff and Dr. Abelar's talents in aesthetic dentistry and you have my choice as one of the best in San Diego.
I've been going to Dr. Abelar for several years. The doctor and his staff are professional, friendly and caring. When I find a doctor or dentist that I like, I stay with them.
Dr. Abelar practices 21st Century dentistry! He and his team professionally utilize the most "up to moment" equipment. My experience having a crown replacement was superb. I have also had the great experience of a hygiene appointment with Jodie. She is wonderful. I will not be returning to my old dentistry office even though it requires me to make an hour drive to get to Aesthetic Dentistry it's more than worth it.
To start, Dr. Abelar is a fine dentist, the best! Upon walking into the office you experience a very nice smelling lobby and are greeted by a cheery, smiley receptionist. The office is equipped with the best of the best technology and I always know when I go there, I'm getting the most updated experience. His practices are professional and promising. I always feel safe in the hands of Dr. Abelar and would recommend him to anyone, any day.
Dr. Abelar has been our dentist for years. He opened the office on a Sunday to do emergency repair to my daughters front teeth. His work is impeccable. His staff is extremely friendly and I love my hygienist.I highly recommend Dr Abelar!
I've had my share of so-called negative experiences when it comes to the dentist, so it's refreshing when you encounter great dental establishments like Dr. Martin Abelar's. The establishment is extremely clean and organized and up-to-date on equipment. I know I've been in dental offices where things weren't as tidy as they could have been or seem to skip out on updating dental chairs or equipment, but I don't get that at all here and that's something I greatly appreciate as a patient.The staff is warm, friendly and approachable. Dr. Abelar is truly a genuine and knowledgeable professional. He makes me feel at ease while still maintaining the highest degree of professionalism. I was informed of everything pertaining to my treatment while it was occurring, and my questions and concerns were immediately addressed. He really made me feel that he is here to help his patients and offered some great advice. Thank you to my friend who introduced me to Dr. Abelar and his exceptional work :)
As a person who does not go to the dentist very often I must say I have no problem going back to this office. I like my personal space so the thought of getting x-rays was slightly unsettling however the hygienist was friendly yet wasn't too chatty which is good seeing as how my mouth was too busy to talk much. My appointment time was surprisingly the time I was taken to the back even though I wasn't finished filling out the forms.(which like a boss was an ipad d^_^b) Overall it was a good experience for me... for the person complaining about pricing... get mad at your insurance for being cheap, not at their office.
