I have been going to Dr. Ana and staff for about 8 months after not going to the dentist for over 20 years. I was traumatized as a child from a very bad, neglect dentist…. So I was litterally shaking walking in…we did a smile makeover schedule/breakdown to reach our goals. So I go in several times a month, and I’m so incredibly grateful for them… they are so flexible with my schedule and reschedules. I can not express how caring, understanding, and most of all- Gentle they all are. I never once feel shame or embarrassment, and I thought I would…. I have felt seen, heard and understood from the minute I walked in. And I leave there so happy. You will never meet a more loving staff who honestly, truly cares about the patient’s comfort and just overall experience than this team… My only regret is That I didn’t find them sooner….

Great experience there. Very professional and a wonderful staff. New up to date equipment. Dr Robert was terrific and explained the procedure I needed in detail and gave me a few options. Highly recommend this dental practice. Don M Escondido

I had a great experience at Citracado Dental Group! From the staff checking me in to the Dental assistant taking the x-rays and Dr. Robert fixing my tooth, I couldn't have asked for a better visit. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Dr. Robert took the time to explain how my tooth would get fixed before he started and I was out of the office in under an hour. Definitely recommend Citracado Dental Group!

Citracado has been an amazing experience. Like all healthcare procedures there are ups and downs so it’s really important that both sides are engaged, open and communicative and they are just that. They are warm and friendly and really give off a family vibe which is nice. They also are super flexible which is so important with repairing dental needs. I’ve had two emergencies from an old implant and both times they made time for me right away. I’m so indebted for their engagement, flexibility, care and warm atmosphere. I am having a little issue with sensitivity from a crown but they’ve shown me that they are committed to giving me the best dental experience I can have. The dentist is my kryptonite so I’m so happy they all work to make me feel like Superman!

The newest guidelines from the American Academy of Endodontists in 2019 suggest that most patients should not take antibiotics for a toothache unless there is visible swelling and the patient has a compromised immune system or cannot be seen for treatment right away.

Many insurances do, but every insurance plan is different. Coverage can vary greatly for dental implant procedures, and often the annual maximums benefits are exceeded.
