About Coast Dental
Frequent complaints about surprise bills and last-minute appointment cancellations stand alongside praise for gentle hygienists at this general dental practice.
Coast Dental is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, and clear aligners for patients who need them. Hygienists here are often praised as patient and gentle during cleanings, and several patients say a doctor, including Dr. Deepthi Janga, answered their questions thoroughly and handled emergency situations with care. At the same time, a substantial share of feedback points to repeated billing surprises, months-long delays getting refunds or records, and appointments that were confirmed and then canceled or rescheduled with little notice.

While their facility was very clean, the attitude that I got was definitely a one-star service I need to have some Bridge work done I'm on a existing bridge that I have and the doctor seemed very annoyed by my questions, I don't understand dentist / medical terminology so I had to ask a few questions. She seemed like she didn't want to do the repair work and was making sure that I know that any repair that she might have done she would not be held responsible for if something happened to my bridge because of it. While I appreciate being informed of the risks. It was almost as if she was trying to talk me out of it because it wasn't something she wanted to do her medical assistant Anaya, pardon me if I misspelled it was completely rude, she rolled her eyes at me a few times when once again trying to figure out exactly what the process of the repair was going to be, and gave me a" do you want this or not". I'm sorry it's my mouth I have a right to be concerned as to the steps taking place and if this annoys you, dealing with customers and having dialogue and addressing concerns. Then why did you get into this business.. all about financial gain? , I was initially impressed by the cleanliness of everything and it immediately was overshadowed by the attitude and tone.
Be very careful with this company. They are all about charging you lots of money for things you don’t need they want to charge me over $600 for a dental cleaning and I have insurance so just imagine how much they’re actually charging for the cleaning with the insurance company involved.
The staff is friendly, efficient, and professional. I was there for a crown, and the procedure was virtually painless.
High pressure for deep cleaning multiple time and to multiple of my family members. Zoom dentist. I just got better dental and will be switching. Have dealt with this too long.
Please get a second opinion if they tell you that there’s anything wrong with your teeth/gums!! I paid over $1000 per year (with insurance!) getting cleanings every three months. Moved out of state and finally got to see an ACTUAL dentist and turns out I did NOT need deep cleanings each visit and there was NOTHING wrong with my gums. I actually had a good experience whilst going to Coast but after finding out they scammed both me and my partner, I have a VERY bad taste in my mouth. DO BETTER!
