My dental situation was worse than expected. My home dentist "Cleveland Ohio" had been warning me for years about grinding my teeth. While visiting family in San Diego, we discussed the issue of teeth grinding and a friend referred me to Dr. Dalia's office. My first contact was pleasant and accommodating. New crowns were my recommended solution. The procedure was quick and painless in preparation for my new teeth. I was surprised that my temporary teeth looked and felt so good. I was in San Diego for a family wedding. The food was excellent and the smiles lasted all night. I extended my stay a couple of days while my permanent teeth were done. The return visit to Dr. Dalia was quick and professional. The entire staff is very pleasant. I felt like family the whole time. I am back home now and show off my new smile to everyone.
