If you’re reading this and looking for a new Dentist, you can end your search here! Dr. Klein and his staff are a breath of fresh air, kindness, fun, very knowledgeable, and most importantly, honest. I’m so happy to have found them! I went to two different Dentists last year who each told me I needed fillings replaced and/or previous crowns replaced. I was under the assumption those areas of the fillings had new cavities, but my intuition didn’t feel right about either. The work between the two dentists was both $3k and $9k. Fast forward to this year, after my cleaning at Dr. Klein’s, I have a clean bill of health, no cavities, and no dental work needed! ! I went back yesterday for another appointment about night guards and took my statements with me from the other dentists as I was still curious. Dr. went over those areas and doubled checked my x rays, he said nothing is wrong to each of them. We then had a more in depth conversation about the dental industry, I think you know where I’m going with that hint… Thank you Dr. Klein and staff!

I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Klein and his office and I am happy to give him and his office the best review possible. This is the place to go! I come from a family of dental professionals (stepdad is retired dentist; his wife, my mother, is a RDH, registered Dental Hygienist). I’ve grown up with the best care around and I know how hard it is to find a top notch practice. Well, look no further. When my family of five relocated to SD 10 years ago, we had to find a new dentist. Dr. Klein was a neighbor of mine so I decided to visit his office. Right from the start, I knew this was going be our one and only dentist for a very long time. Dr. Klein is professional and knowledgeable and honest. His staff, most of whom have been in this office for years (this is actually not very common like it once was), are equally professional. They all greet you and remember who you are and take time with each and every cleaning. There is never any “upsell” on products or procedures or inventing problem/cavities etc. that he can fix. In fact, between us five, we have had at least 50 cleanings here (2x year) and only one or two cavities as we have always made dental hygiene a priority while they did their part in maintaining our dental health.
They typically keep you with the same professional hygienist so as to build a relationship and all five of us have our “own” although that can change from time to time depending on schedules and if you have to reschedule. Thus, we have all seen several hygienists and they are fantastic. You get almost a full hour of cleaning whereas most places try to cut you down to 30 minute time slots. Suffice it to say, THIS is the best practice around.
Thank you, Dr. Klein. p.s. I was inspired to write this review after we stupidly bought a teeth whitening “kit” from New Smile Dental/Third Party provider (big mistake)…we had to get the kit through a dentist in La Jolla. It was the WORST experience ever and it reminded me how lucky we were to have Dr. Klein as our regular dentist!

After 22 years with our previous dentist it was time  for a change.  My previous dentist wouldn’t cover a crown that they did 3 years ago and said that since it wasn’t more than 5 that my dental insurance also wouldn’t cover it.  My previous dentist charges $1,500 for a crown and insurance pays $1,200, so you have to cover an extra  $300 out of pocket.  So my wife found Dr Kline and they scheduled my crown in a quicker time frame than my previous and had my insurance cover it after all.  Dr Kline is quite a bit  different than my previous dentist in the fit of the crown.  I didn’t realize how much my previous dentist’s work was inferior until Dr Kline fit my new crown. My old dentistpm always had me tap tap on a piece of marking paper and then he would grind the surface of the to to get it to fit.  I suspect that my  previous crown was too thin and that lead to its short life. Dr Kline’s crown fit perfectly without any touch up grinding. So, quicker appointment, $300 less and better workmanship and an excellent staff . Highly recommend.

I have been going to Dr. Michael Klein in Encinitas for the last few years and am pleased to say that I am absolutely satisfied. He is caring and very professional and takes great care of my teeth which some other dentists abused. I trust Dr. Klein 100% knowing that I am in good hands. His staff is professional too. I especially am grateful to his office manager Christina who always makes sure that my needs are met. She is super in what she does. I am blessed to have such a great team.
