About 3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental

Extensive Invisalign experience under Dr. Abordo, with multi-year aligner cases adjusted along the way to reach a final result.

3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, clear aligners, TMJ treatment, and retainers. Reviews mention Invisalign far more than most other services, often describing multi-year aligner journeys with adjustments and even free redos to fine-tune final tooth position. Anxious patients often note feeling at ease during procedures, and several reviews point to the downtown location's parking garage as a practical plus. Billing and insurance handling get mixed feedback, with some praising transparent quotes and others describing add-on charges or drawn-out claims.

Summary of 250 patient reviews, November 2018–September 2026, updated September 2026

3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental provides orthodontic care in San Diego, California, serving teen patients seeking alignment solutions.

The practice focuses on clear aligner therapy as its primary orthodontic service. The office offers Invisalign treatment for adolescent patients looking to straighten their teeth without traditional metal braces. This approach uses a series of removable, transparent aligners custom-designed to gradually shift teeth into position. Teens who prefer a less visible orthodontic option may find this modality suitable for their lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. Based on patient feedback, 3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental has received a 4.7 rating from 444 Google reviews. This volume of responses reflects sustained patient engagement with the practice over time. Such ratings provide prospective patients with insight into others' experiences, though individual outcomes and satisfaction will vary. The practice operates in San Diego, serving families throughout the surrounding area. Parents of teens considering orthodontic intervention should schedule a consultation to determine whether Invisalign treatment aligns with their child's specific dental needs and treatment goals. Each case requires individual clinical assessment to establish appropriate timing and treatment planning.

Orthodontic care in reviews

Invisalign is the most discussed treatment in these reviews, with patients describing multi-year aligner plans that were adjusted as needed and, in at least one case, a free redo to correct a lingering tooth position. Reviewers also note that aligner costs sometimes rose when add-ons like bite filing or veneers were included.

I had an interesting situation which led me to 3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental. My previous dentist would not refer me to an oral surgeon (or oral and maxillofacial surgeon) to extract a molar. I had my wisdom teeth and 2 molars extracted by a certain maxillofacial surgeon and I wanted to go to him. My previous dentist wanted me to use his oral surgeon and would not refer me elsewhere. In my mind that is bad form. I called my insurance company and explained the situation and they gave me several dental offices that would refer me the the maxillofacial surgeon I desired. I called 3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental and explained my situation and they were excellent!! I was seen and referred to the maxillofacial surgeon of my choice within 24 hours. Amazing! This is my new dentist office and I'm looking forward for my future treatment and care. Thank you 3rd Avenue Complete Family Dental. I appreciate you! David

I’ve always had a great experience at this dental office! The staff is friendly, professional, and always makes me feel welcome. I also love that they offer services like dental implants in-house by bringing the specialist to the office, so there’s no need to go somewhere else. The convenience and quality of care are excellent. Highly recommend!

This place and staff created the impossible, and that's taking away the dentist gitters. That alone should tell you that the experience exceeded positive. The staff was so friendly!
