I recently went to this dental office for the first time. I loved my experience here. I received a cleaning at my first visit where I also got images taken of all my teeth. Everyone in this office is very friendly. I felt very safe and comfortable in their office. I was explained everything they were doing and understood all that my teeth needed to remain healthy. After this visit I returned for fillings and this visit was very quick. I hated going to dentist in the past because they have you wait in the front for what seems like forever yet I was in and out of Pacific beach smile studio. I had a wonderful experience here and recommend it to anyone looking for a honest safe dentist.

The location and building are very clean and comfortable. The staff is very courteous, personable and knowledgeable. The Dentist, Dr. Hernandez is very professional, easy to engage with and the gentleman knows his business. The patient is treated with courtesy and respect. In all honesty, it was an emergency extraction which I havent had since the 60s. To be honest and blunt, the total cost left me weak kneed. After my shock wears off, I plan to see the Dr. again.

I have literally had the worst experience with dentist in PB. I was very hesitant to find a new one but I am happy I did. Special shout out to Betty at the front desk she is amazing and the best communicator which to me is very important. I feel Dr. Hernandez was honest and did a great job explaining everything so that I could understand. Thank you too everyone who helped me and made me feel comfortable. Grateful to have a new dentist close to home.

I recently just moved to San Diego from Connecticut and was looking for a great dental place to get my teeth whitened. I stumbled upon PB smile studio and had an amazing session! The staff and doctors were super sweet and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. I usually dont like going to the dentist (really sensitive teeth to touch) however, my time at PB Smile was smooth and painless! They even had a TV in room to keep you distracted :)

I found Pacific Beach Smile Studio when searching for a place to start Invisalign. Dr. Hernandez and his staff made the whole experience pleasant and easy. Check-ins were usually quick and straight forward but if I had concerns about the way my bite/teeth were adjusting they took the time to work towards a solution with me. 10/10 would recommend.

I love the office, staff and service! I had such a pleasant experience and am so happy to know that I can rely on them for excellent treatment.

I love Dr. Ric. Actually, he is a family friend, and Ive even been to his wedding many years ago. A wonderful friend is one thing that he is...but he is a great dentist too. Upon meeting for the first time or maybe just catching up on your friendship you already have, hes GENTLE, caring, smiling, and FRIENDLY. Once he begins his work in your mouth, he is serious, FOCUSSED and gets the job done PAINLESSLY, and as QUICK as possible. If further treatment is necessary, he explains what SHOULD be done and your financial options. Get your appointment done with Dr. Ric Hernandez you will be very proud of yourself and pleased with Dr. Ric and his staff!

Dr. Hernandez was professional, gentle, and thorough. Betty at the front desk was very helpful and knowledgeable as well! Overall great experience. I highly recommend.

Dr Hernandez and his staff are the best. Dr Hernandez is very gentle with a calming manner. The staff is friendly and always ready to answer any questions. Highly recommend Dr Hernandez and staff.

Found this dental office last October after seeking to get Invisalign. Dr. Hernandez does not disappoint. Not to mention how incredibly friendly and professional the staff are. I always Get seen promptly, my Invisalign treatment went quickly, and my cleanings are always enjoyable. Will definitely be recommending this office to my family and friends. It’s a small business with only a few employees, but i personally Feel more connected to the individuals who work there because of this

Dr. Hernandez is by far the best dentist Ive been to and the staff is super welcoming! I came to this office on a recommendation for Invisalign and my experience so far has been excellent. I really appreciate his patience and care as we work to straighten my teeth. I Highly recommend this office if youre considering Invisalign!

Dr Hernandez and his team are friendly and extremely professional. I called and Betty answer the phone, she was very helpful on the phone and a pleasure to meet in person. I highly recommend Pacific Beach Smile Studio.

Im so grateful to be one of Dr. Hernandez patients, he is very knowledgeable, and very high standard in his profession. The place is well located, clean and safe. Everyone has a beautiful smile in the office!I truly recommend him, you are in good hands!

Dr. Hernandez and his staff are always professional and super sensitive to whatever issues you’re have with keeping your 🦷 teeth healthy. I hate to go to the dentist, like I’m sure most do, but with this team is a pleasure seeing them!!

I can’t thank the staff enough for everything that they’ve done for me! Dr. Hernandez and everyone in the office is so kind and personable! Dr. Hernandez does a great job really taking the time to care about my specific needs getting to know me on a personal level as well as how he brings a consultive approach for the health of my teeth/gums! Best dentist in PB hands down :)

As a new client I was amazed how quickly I received an appt and made to feel as though this had been the dentist office I had gone to for years through how friendly and professional everyone was.

I hadn’t seen a dentist in years so I was super nervous. Betty answered all my questions on the phone and assured me I was coming to the right place. Dr. Hernandez was very thorough with my exam and explained everything in great detail. Not to mention the cleaning was painless. I have a few things I need to address and definitely feel like I’m in great hands. Definitely the best dentist experience I’ve ever had and highly recommend.

Dr Hernandez at Pacific Beach Smile Studio perfectly fixed my butchered top four front teeth with veneers ~ 20 years ago. Yup, you read that right, ~ 20 YEARS AGO! Who can say they have an expert dentist who puts veneers on so perfectly that they exceed the 10 year expected life by an additional 10 YEARS? This only happens with an amazing Dentist! Dr. Hernandez is a Super Star at what he does. Best Dentist!

Great dentist office! My husband and I have been going here over 6years, and have started bringing our young children as well. The hygienist worked with my 4.5year old in the room right next to me while my teeth were cleaned; I could see and hear him the whole time. They were both confident and very comfortable with one another. Quite impressive!

Excellent quality service, prompt work, very well appointed office! They even have ceiling mounted T.V.s and noise canceling headphones so that you can watch your favorite show while getting work done. Went in to get nine fillings (apparently Ive been grinding my teeth more than I thought!) and they were able to complete the work within the space of an hour and a half. Even fixed a chipped tooth and fit me for a mouthguard in that time!

Great people. In always in and out quickly and the staff are awesome here!

Always a great experience! I have been taking my son here for 10yrs and recently started going along with my husband and daughter. The staff is so warm and friendly and I am always in and out in great time with no issues. Can’t say enough great things about this place!

I have been going to Dr Hernandez for a few years and had issues with gingivitis. My teeth had greatly improved! I especially love when my teeth is cleaned by Dr Hernandez because he is very light handed and gentle and gets all the tartar off my teeth! I highly recommend this place.

Dr Rick is amazing! Super friendly staff and clean environment. They make you feel right at home!

Dr. Hernandez and Betty were amazing. So kind, patient and knowledgeable! Excited to have a new dentist in SD.

Great service, extremely friendly. Would recommend to Fanily and friends.

Doctor Hernandez was amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable and takes time explaining things out and making a plan for treatment. I loved the practice and everyone working there. The staff is very hard working, polite and helpful.

Excellent Service!Its always a pleasure to visit Dr. Hernandez and his friendly staff. Thank you for taking great care of me and my childrens smile.

I had such a great experience here! I was able to get a ton of work done through them and it was very time efficient and easy. They work with my schedule which I really appreciate. I was super nervous and they made it very simple and easy to get through!!

Pacific Beach Smile is the BEST dentist office I have ever been to!! I have always dreaded going to the dentist but Betty and Dr.Ricardo were so caring and gentle with me, it really helped my entire experience. They helped talk me through my needs and what was best for me. I would highly recommend Pacific Beach Smile to anyone!

Wow. This place is incredible! They have TVs on the ceiling, with Netflix! And they even have wireless noise-cancelling headphones so you can block out all of the normal dental office noises, and just watch your favorite show or movie in peace and quiet while they make your mouth all better! 🤓As if that’s not enough to set them apart from other dental offices, they are extremely friendly, explain everything really well, and genuinely care about people and their well-being. Friendliest dental office I have ever been to. Me and my family of six are now clients for life! 😀

I have been going to Dr. Hernandezs office for around 8 years now and I cant even begin to think about going somewhere else! At this point theyve basically done it all for me: cleanings, root canal, crown, pulled a tooth, fillings, whitening... and all done flawlessly. The entire staff is so friendly and welcoming. And the cleanliness of the office makes me feel safe coming here during these times.

Dr. Hernandez and the entire staff are great! Extremely friendly and they take care of you. I recommend! PB Smile Studio makes going to the dentist really enjoyable.

Dr. Hernandez is an exceptionally talented dentist. I highly recommend PB Smile Studio. The name says it all!

First of all I hate visiting any medical office and the dentist is never a place I enjoy being. Dr. Hernandez and his staff create a very peaceful and calming atmosphere. I generally keep away from small talk because most people dont generally care. Here though there is real interest and compassion. When it comes to the exams they are thorough and honest. This office was my second opinion visit. They didnt pressure anything and were considerate to how I was doing financially. Not to mention they were waaaay less expensive for what I wanted done. I was actually able to afford more done for less than my first stop.In the procedure they were kind and took the time to address my uneasiness. Dr. Hernandez and Betty even offered to pray with me. I was blown away by how patient and gentle the procedure was. It was a major procedure including two wisdom teeth extractions. It was a smooth success. They were attentive to how I was doing at every step. I left extremely satisfied and I will be coming here for everything.Oh and they also have TV on the ceiling! A great distraction once you find a show you like. Seriously come here if you need work done. Youll feel like family after a visit

Very happy from start to finish. My visit went smoothly and the staff were friendly and competent. Switched over from another dentist and Betty helped me transition easily and get an appointment. Dr. Hernandez & staff gave me a very thorough exam and explained anything they found. He explained all his recommendations & answered my questions. I never felt pressured to make a decision one way or another, which I appreciate. I also noticed the staff get along and seem to enjoy working there, which is a good sign. Great overall impression, I will be coming back.

Greatly enjoyed my experience at this dentistry! Friendly staff, easy processing and safety measures are great amidst COVID-19. Will be making this spot my regular hub!

I usually dislike going to the dentist however not only was this establishment very friendly but the employees are very funny and super enthusiastic about the job they accomplish and they treated me with such kindness and respect. Thank you Pacific Beach Smile Studio!!! Keep up the fantastic work you guys are doing

Dr. Hernández and his staff are quite possibly the kindest crew you could ask for. Never did I think I would enjoy an episode of Chefs Table while having cavities filled! Thank you!

I had a dental emergency and a friend referred me to Dr. Hernandezs office. Betty at the front desk was so kind and sympathetic, told me they will take care of me and to come right in! Dr. Hernandez was a God send by diagnosing & relieving my excruciating pain!!! Dr. Hernandez is compassionate, very thorough in his explanation and ever so gentle during the procedure.I am pain free and this meant everything to me because I had been suffering for 10 days after another dentist had worked on me. I am so thankful that my friend told me to get a 2nd opinion and referred me to her family dentist, Dr. Hernandez. I had an amazing experience, now he is the only dentist I feel I can trust and put my confidence in after the trauma I have experienced with other dentists. Dr. Hernandez my dentist for life!

Outstanding dentist and staff. I always feel safe and know they provide the best care and treatment.

I love this team. Betty is wonderful at the front desk and is so friendly. Teresa is a sweetheart and makes sure you have a great experience and is 100% comfortable. Dr. Hernandez is the best at what he does and thats why Ill keep coming back! Thank you guys :D

Enjoyable experience with Dr. Hernandez and staff. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a new dentist.

I am terrified of the dentist and came in to have a crown. I was feeling very nervous but it ended up being the best dental experience I have ever had! I was walked through the whole procedure, it was quick and painless. Highly recommend!!

Always the best experience coming here! The staff is so kind and helpful!

Dr Hernandez is a very professional and thorough dentist with a kind demeanor. I highly recommend him!

Went to the dentist today and got a check up and cleaning. They did a wonderful job on my cleaning very thorough and explained everything I needed. Im usually very nervous to go to the dentist but doctor Hernandez and his staff made me Feel very comfortable

I got my teeth cleaned (Dr. Hernandez) and whitened (Theresa & Betty). The work I received was grade A+ and surpassed my expectations. Customer service is excellent from the beginning to the end ! The staff was wonderful. I couldnt be happier with my decision! Thank you very much PB Smiles Studios! PS. I recommended some friends to your practice.

Dr. Hernandez has been my dentist for years. He and his staff make sure patients are cared for and listened to. I know I can trusty dental care to them.

Dr. Hernandez listens attentively to my questions & concerns then proceeds withcare. Betty at the front desk was very personable & explained payment costs in advance with copays to I could make informed decisions about my care plan.

Dr. Hernandez was incredibly professional and I had a fantastic experience. There is calming music on in the office and friendly, professional staff. I would recommend this dentist to anyone in the area.

Very professional, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Clean office and onsite parking. Follows Covid guidelines and their receptionist Becky is excellent. If you want to spend your $ locally I suggest you give Dr Hernandez a try.

My appointment today was amazing! Very straightforward and recommended great preventative treatments!

Super friendly, great atmosphere, everyone who works their made it fun and and enjoyable experience.

Great experience. Super nice staff.

From the first call to the front office manager (Betty), to the dental assistants (Theresa) and Dr. Hernandez, I had the most amazing service. Dr Hernandez is the best dentist in SoCal, by far.Amazing root canal experience with no pain, discomfort and gorgeous crown. I went in for a small front tooth filling and leaving with beautiful teeth.Lamborghini of dentists!

Wonderful experience! I hate going to the dentist — but that was before I went here. The team is amazing and so very kind. I genuinely enjoyed my experience, which is something you don’t often hear about a dentistry appointment! Thank you!!

Always fast and friendly here. Highly recommend.

Dr Hernandez and team are some ofThe friendliest people around! Very accommodating and great service.

Today I had the worse toothache ever (of course all my fault)! The team at Pacific Beach Smile , Dr. Hernandez, Betty and Teresa are amazing; not only did Dr. Hernandez take the pain away but he was able to see me the same day as a new patient. Thank you again for all your help and relief!I will definitely be back to see the team in 2 weeks!My best to your team😷

I’ve been coming here for 4 years now. Dr. Hernandez is great! He’s does a fantastic job every time. The support staff is very friendly and welcoming. 5/5 would definitely recommend

So hard finding a good dentist in San Diego. Ive been to a few bad ones. This is BY FAR THE BEST. Friendly staff and dentist. They are timely and gentle with your teeth.

Having been to many dentist in the past. I didnt always have a great experience. So much so that I began to fear dentist. It wasnt until I was referred to Dr Hernandez that I put aside any previous misconceptions about the dental industry. Very professional and very personable. Hes truly a top doctor in his field. He not only took the time to educate me but gave me some options on keeping my teeth healthy and long lasting. I even got a teeth whitening! I will continue seeing him and I will refer my friends here because I trust him.

Great experience!

This place is great! The staff are all very friendly and welcoming and the office is nice and feels like a spa. They did a very thorough cleaning and did a great job of explaining everything before they did it. They also have parking which is always a plus in San Diego. Would definitely recommend!

I had a very positive experience at Pacific Beach Smile Studio. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The doctor did an thorough exam and even did the teeth cleaning himself. Also I was impressed with the technology, I was actually able to see where some of my teeth were decaying which makes me feel comforted that I’m not getting fills/sealants just for money. So glad I found this place!

Awesome work. I have been with Dr. Hernandez for over 20 years. What a wonderful dentist. Always a great service.

I’ve been coming to PB Smile Studio for a few years since I moved out here full time. They helped me improve my brushing skills and now feel more confident in my dental health. I would recommend this place to anyone. They always have my desired appointment open!

Needed a dentist in San Diego after moving here 3 years ago. Dr. Hernandez and the rest of the staff are all friendly and very helpful. My teeth are looking and feeling better than ever! I have already recommended PB Smile Studio to my friends and will continue to do so!

I had an awesome time! The place is beautiful! The atmosphere was so positive! Dr. Hernandez and s Asgard is extremely kind and professional! I left with no pain and all smiles 😃

Best experience Ive had at a dentist in my life!! Ive been to quite a few dentists all over California and Utah. Ive had over 15 fillings, Invisilign, deep cleanings and damage from a tongue ring Ive had in the past. PB Smiles Studio kept my appointment to the exact time, no lag which was great! The X-rays were quick and painless, the doctor was thorough and educational, made sure I understood everything he was talking about they checked insurances and let me know out of pocket costs and severity of what services I need first. They are an Invisilign provider and can pull over my previous records!! They are amazing love this experience and my future services are scheduled. I will be back!

Expedient and professional service! The dentist and his assistant Priscilla were both friendly and informative about my filling procedure. I was in and out with two filling replacements in just over an hour, and had zero wait time when showing up for my appointment. The studio itself is clean and well-organized. Overall a great experience!

I have been going to Dr. Hernandez for about 7 years. All my experiences have been great, however, I just received my dental implant and it looks amazing! Really nice implant. Definitely would recommend him!

I’ve been coming to pacific beach smile studio for several years now and I’m always so happy with every visit. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. The prices are affordable and they always find a way to work with you to fit things around your budget and schedule. Highly recommend

I love PB smile! I’ve been seeing Dr. Hernandez for years after having a less than ideal experience with another dentist. His staff is attentive, kind, efficient, and I know I can trust them with my smile. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for an excellent dentist in San Diego!!

I’ve been coming to PB Smiles for several years since I’ve moved to San Diego and have always had a great experience! Friendly and reliable staff, great results and always seen at scheduled appointment time!! Highly recommend!I just finished my Invisalign treatment and am so happy with my results! I have already received so many compliments and love the way my new smile looks!

I would give Dr Hernandez and his staff more stars if possible. Everyone is so kind and friendly. They make you feel very comfortable as soon as you walk in the door. Dr Hernandez is a very gentle dentist and was very understanding when I told him of my anxiety. He takes the time to explain everything as does the rest of his staff. I highly recommend Dr Hernandez!

The staff at PB Smile Studio is super friendly and accommodating. Dr. Hernandez provided my first enjoyable experience at the dentist. Highly recommend. Thank you PB Smile Studio!

Ive never been to a dentist where both the dentist and staff were so kind and thorough. I love them and am going back :)i did go back, today is 2/4/2021 and had teeth whitening done and had a great time! The products they use to whiten really made my teeth look beautiful! They also offer movies while bleaching. The staff was friendly, efficient and really know their service and their business. I refer them to everyone!

I went to another dentist and had a terrible experience. Today I came to Dr. Hernandez and he fixed my front teeth, perfectly! The office is bright and clean and extremely friendly. I feel fully confident in the work done!

Doctor Hernandez got me in SAME DAY which I really appreciate and did a filling on my chipped tooth which now looks better than before I even chipped it. Great staff also, highly recommend this dentist!

Love going to PB smile studio. The staff is always nice and there is never a wait to get into your appointment. I would highly recommend coming to this dentist!

I love this office. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. The doctor has a very calm demeanor and makes me feel comfortable every time I am here. I highly recommend PB Smile Studio for all your dentistry needs!

Lovely staff, friendly Dentist. I’m not to fond of Dentist but I have to say I had a very pleasant experience.

This dental office has been the best experience that I’ve had in a long time. They are very patient and give an overall pleasant experience. The staff is wonderful and I’m excited to come back!!!

Great experience. Dr Hernandez has been our dentist for almost 10 years now and weve never been disappointed by the care he provides. He is very skilled and professional, and connects with us by always being friendly, chatting about little things, which makes the dentist visit a lot more comfortable. The staff is always very helpful and explains the work that needs to be done clearly with the treatment plans.Thank you for the great work and please keep taking care of us!

Dr. Hernandez and staff were all very helpful in giving me recommendations. I came in for a regular cleaning but had questions about additional teeth care that were all answered. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a new dentist!

Smile studio has been my best dentist experience. I had work done twice by Dr. Hernandez so far and I was very comfortable - no pain at all! He is gentle and so friendly. He and the staff have been so patient with me having been late, etc. Betty and everyone there is awesome and very professional!

Dr. Hernandez is a fantastic dentist! He’s always one for great conversations, and when I come in for cleanings, they have a TV so I can watch shows

Amazing staff very friendly and welcoming. The doctor is very caring and patient, if you want no pain come see him! Highly recommend

I have continued to choose Dr. Hernandez as my Dentist for almost 15 years now after he FIXED my smile. My veneers he created have not loosened, chipped, or had any issues in 15 years!Dr. Hernandez is truly an expert at what he does. His passion to give his patients the best smile comes with compassion, honesty, gentleness, calm energy, and professionalism through and through. This treatment is consistent from Dr. Hernandez and every single person on his staff. I am real and living proof that Dr. Hernandez is by far the best Dentist out there.Dr. Hernandez and his staff have provided preventive maintenance on my teeth from cleanings, to any problems that I have caused them. I have had years of positive experience and a staff that understands the fears many have with dental offices. Dr. Hernandez does not rush, nor make you feel wrong for being afraid of the dental experience, but is understanding, caring, and makes sure I have always been comfortable to include painless procedures.Im 100% about Dr. Hernandez and Pacific Beach Smile Studio. I can only say good things about this Dentist and his staff.

Very clean and easy process. I liked the fact they had a tv positioned so I could be distracted. Got my wisdom tooth taken out as well without any trouble :) Great Experience!!!

Second update: Dr. Hernandez was amazing as always! Always love coming here to get my teeth sparkly fresh. First time meeting Priscilla Presley and she was an amazing assistant as well!! Can’t wait to come back again.UPDATE: I went to get my cavities filled, and Dr. Hernandez was insanely fast! He did two fillings in 15 minutes, then as I was leaving Betty told me about the preventative fillings (which my insurance only covers half of). Dr. Hernandezs office will match your insurance, so I walked out with preventative fillings with zero out of pocket! Truly amazing. Wish I could give them 6 stars!Dr. Hernandez is fantastic. He got me in and out of my cleaning and exam in record time! Him and his staff made the time fly by! He also works well with my insurance company for extractions and fillings which is a huge plus for my wallet! I will be returning to see Ricardo Hernandez twice a year for years to come!

I’ve been going to Pacific Beach Smile Studio for a few years now and I have no complaints. They are so friendly and kind here! Usually the dentist is not a fun place to be but Smile studio makes it enjoyable. I always have a great time catching up with the staff and getting my teeth clean. I recommend them to everyone I know!!

I have had many dentists when I was a kid and as a result of that I stayed away from the dentist office for over 10 years. Had a lot of bad experiences so because of that I had extreme fear about coming to see the dentist. I was put at ease with the christian music and welcoming atmosphere. Had my cleaning and 5 cavities removed. The cavities were pretty deep but it was done amazingly! My teeth are looking wonderful. Love this dentist office. Shout out to Betty for being so personable

I’ve been going here for a couple years now and continue to go even after I moved. The staff is welcoming, professional, helpful and give quality work. Always happy with the service!

Always have a great experience with Dr. Hernandez and his staff. The team does a great job. The staff here will take extra time when I come in to educate me on best practices for gum health and cleaning techniques.

Great experience, awesome staff and super updated office with the best and clean equipment. Will def be coming back couldnt be happier with my dental experience. Also, gave me free amazing white strips that I can use right before my wedding day! So thoughtful and great def will be recommending them!

This office was great and Dr. Hernandez was wonderful. I was a new patient and they got me in right away for a full exam and cleaning. Everyone was very welcoming and professional. Dr. Hernandez is very knowledgeable and I fully trust him in my future smile!

Pacific Smile is the best dentist office around! Dr. H and his staff are so friendly and caring towards all their patients. They really care about you and your dental needs. Im so glad I finally found a dentist I can trust and be comfortable with. Would highly recommend Pacific Smile to ANYONE!
