The doctor was excellent—very professional, and the procedure was done smoothly with minimal discomfort. I experienced hardly any pain at the actual site of the procedure. Insurance and payment explained in detail. However, the dental tech was quite rough. It's been two days, and my mouth is still sore from where the suction tool was forcefully pressed against the back of my mouth. It’s painful when I try to swallow.

Dr. T is nice as pie and will do what he can to save your teeth while trying to avoid the exorbitant costs that can be incurred. Andy the front desk guy is awesome and clearly good at what he does. Destiny, the dental hygienist is just lovely. I felt so taken care of by her. Also, the lady who did my X-rays (with the powerpuff girls pin) was super nice. I loved this office. It had been years since going to the dentist and they are saving my teeth! I would definitely recommend for professionalism and good work.

I’m a frequent traveler to San Diego and I just so happened to have a dental emergency while I was in town. Dr. Rishaad was able to get me in same day and treat me the same day too! His staff was wonderful and everyone from the front office to the back office greeted me with warm smiles. Dr. Rishaad was very thorough in explaining what needed to be done and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommend him! Thank your College Avenue Dentistry for taking care of me!

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
