Such a friendly staff. Had a couple procedures done in the span of a few months. The reception staff new who I was as soon as I came in. The dentist does a great job and is very thorough, but also talks to me like I'm a friend of his, really nice guy. The woman who cleaned my teeth was also unbelievably thorough in all the things that she did too and just the nicest lady. I won't ever switch dentists. Thank you guys!

I hate to give bad reviews for anyone but 4 years after my root canal and crown by Dr. Cinningham I now have to have it replaced because it is not close enough to the other tooth which caused periodontal disease. The periodontist said my oral hygiene is excellent and it is totally because of the crown not being tight enough. I'm just telling you my experience so you might want to reconsider your options.

Front desk is always helpful. Highly recommend Dr. Cunningham to anyone that's looking for a reliable dentist with high quality work.

Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I feel like family when I am there. The way they treat me, makes me like to go to the dentist.

Dr Grey is the best! His office is comfortable, clean and his equipment up to date. His staff is wonderful, everyone is welcoming, kind and helpful. They even offered me a phone charger when I said my phone was going low. The best part...their work. My teeth are clean and happy. 1 full filling and 4 cosmetic fillings. No pain, swelling or irritation. I will never change dentists again. Thank you!!

Dr. Cunningham is the best Dentist ever. Sue is the best hygienist ever. The staff at the front desk...well, you get where I am going with this. I can't imagine how many dental offices I pass on the way to this place, but the drive is always worth it. These guys rock. End of story.

When I was referred to Dr. Cunningham my mouth was a mess. I had just seen a dentist who told me that my back tooth had an infection, which I already knew , and not only that one but the one next to it would need to be pulled!! My girlfriend told me to see Dr. Cunningham and he was able to save one of my teeth by doing a root canal and the one that was to far gone he pulled the root and performed a bone graft. I have never been more satisfied by a dentist than I have been since I've been under his care for these past few months. He is the real deal. His staff is amazing and super friendly! He cares about his patients and he is great at what he does! I highly recommend him and his office if you are looking for an amazing dentist!! It's hard to find a dentist that you trust and I trust him with mine and my son's mouths %100!!

I am not someone that ever posts comments online but I had to in this case..... I am extremely picky about dentists, but Dr. Grey Cunningham is by far the BEST DENTIST I have ever had perform dental work on me. I do not say that statement lightly as I know a great deal about dentistry and worked in the field as a consultant for several years alongside some of America's top dentists. Few dentists are able to offer the broad range of services that Dr. Cunningham performs as he is skilled in so many procedures. He has performed the following procedures on me: 1. Removal of all metal fillings 2. Zoom Whitening 3. Extraction (#13) 4. Multiple Dental Implants (#13, #29, #30) 5. Crowns (#13, #29, #30, #31) ALL of these procedures were performed with the utmost care and precision and without any complications; not to mention considerably less expensive than the other three quotes I received for the same treatment from other dentists. I get compliments all the time on my smile and everyone asks me which dentist did the work; that's a ringing endorsement by anyone's standards. Do yourself and your teeth a favor and go see Dr. Grey Cunningham!!!

I've had 2 cleanings, cavities filled, teeth whitening, and minor oral surgery with them so far and am pleased to report that I've never had better dental service than with Dr. Grey and his friendly team of experts!

Highly recommend. When I go there I feel as though I am family. The pain is minimal, Dr. Cunningham even puts a topical on your gums prior to giving you a shot. I had a few root canals performed at this office over the years and I couldn't be more satisfied. I moved up to Orange County and found a new dentist up here, he performed a root canal. I had to drive back to San Diego for Dr. Cunningham to revive me from the torturous pain I was enduring. Dr. Cunningham and his staff go above and beyond. Highly recommend!

Dr. Cunningham and his staff have been great and super helpful with my dental care. After having a problem that was not solved by a previous dentist, Dr. Cunningham helped me get the amazing smile I wanted. He and his staff truly care and are willing to go the extra mile to make sure they provide the best care. Highly recommend!

I have been going to Dr Cunningham for several years after having had some terrible experiences with other dentists. He has corrected several fairly significant dental issues with excellent results. In particular, I had an accident that knocked out several front teeth. He saw me quickly (important when you are already traumatized by the accident and are missing your front teeth!!), was very compassionate and I could not be more pleased with the crowns that were made. I have finally found a dentist that I am not afraid to go and see.

I'm so so happy to have found these dentists. I have seen both Dr. Johnson and Dr. Cunningham, and they are seriously the best. They make you feel very comfortable. They explain everything they did to me, and even showed me close up pictures of the small problems parts on my teeth and how they were going to fix them. The assistants and receptionists are incredibly nice, and pretty funny too. I really love this place. It's so nice and refreshing to go to a dental office I can trust and don't feel like I'm being ripped off. Thank you!! (Plus parking is so easy).

This review is coming from someone who has some major distrust with dentists due to negative experiences. My fianc told me she had the same experiences but that Dr. Cunningham or "Dr. La Jolla" changed her perception for good. I gave in and scheduled my first appointment. Sue was my Dental Hygienist and made me feel very comfortable and brought my anxiety level way down. This dentist is not out to scam you or your insurance like so many in the industry. They truly care about you and your dental health and make everything clear and easy to understand while dealing directly with your insurance and showing you EXACTLY what they will pay for and the entire breakdown. From someone who had zero trust in dentists, they've built a professional relationship that I truly appreciate. If you were like me and had some bad dental experiences, give Dr. La Jolla a chance to change your view, you'll be smiling if you do.

He has been my primary dentist for several years. San Diego for some reason does not have great dentist. Dr. Cunningham will exceed your expectations. Friendly staff and a clean office. He performed a root canal on a tooth of mine and he checked it 3 times to make sure it was done completely and correctly. He is the IDEAL dentist.

Can I give this place 10 stars, please?!? I have been going here for a few years now and I absolutely love this dentist's office. Is it weird to love going to the dentist? Anyway, like I said, Dr. Cunningham has been my primary dentist for a few years now (maybe 4 or 5). I went through a slew of slimy dentists in San Diego before I found this office. Other offices were always recommending work that I didn't need. It was different here. The office was wonderful right off the bat. I have referred multiple friends to this office and they all say the same thing-They love it here! APPOINTMENTS: It's easy to get an appointment and Amanda (who is so wonderful, by the way) will ALWAYS squeeze you in if it's a dental emergency. I used to have a crazy work schedule and she would always help me out and squeeze me in last minute for my cleanings. Wait time? Forget about it. They always see you right at or within minutes of your scheduled appointment. DENTIST: Dr. Cunningham is pleasant and a great dentist. Fillings are always painless and quick. In addition to my regular dental visits, I've also had some cosmetic work done here. I had invisilign done about 2 years ago and I am sooooo pleased with the results! When it came time for me to get invisilign, I did not even shop around for prices. Not worth it. I trust Dr. Cunningham and figured I didn't want to take my chances to try and hunt for a bargain. HYGIENE: As for the hygenists, I can't name any in specific one that is the best because they are all great! Friendly, gentle and quick. Ok, so you get the point. I love this place!! 10 Stars!! (Too bad Yelp only let's me give 5) **Note: I know there was a negative comment on here about the other dentist, Shereen Johnson. I have never seen her so unfortunately, I cannot comment on that. I will always see Dr. Cunningham if possible.

My first encounter with Dr. Cunningham's office was as a referral from a dentist who performed emergency procedures on me. I'll admit, due to run ins with other dentists I was none too comfortable with finding a new dentist but I knew I required the service or would be looking at many more emergency procedures. Amanda, the office guru, secretary, counselor, insurance specialist etc, was quick to address my concerns and assured me they would look out for my best interest as well as help me through the paranoia I felt against dentists. They arranged right away for a cleaning, x-rays and assessment in which Amanda spelled out everything they thought would be needed to get my mouth back in shape. She assured me they could stay within my budget and worked out all the insurance options while still providing me with what needed to be done to save my teeth. They got me in right away for my second appointment and while I was beyond nervous, the staff treated me like family. The assistants kept me apprised of everything they would be doing and Dr. Cunningham began the procedures with a calm sympathetic approach. He was very good about informing me what he was doing and when I started to feel anything he was quick to make sure I was brought back to a comfort level. In all the subsequent visits Dr. Cunningham and his staff were consistently patient and accommodating. At least 5 root canals and many more fillings later, I am glad to say both the staff and I survived and I cannot recommend them enough. They were ALL professional and courteous! I highly endorse them and encourage you to call even if it's just for a cleaning and checkup. I have found my permanent dentist!!!

This is, by far, the best dental office I have found that takes our Safeguard HMO plan. I really like and appreciate my hygienist. I have had a good experience with scheduling appointments that are convenient. I once had to wait over an hour because an unscheduled emergency took priority, but I get that, and fortunately I wasn't pressed for time that day.

This Dentist is a superstar. Excellent chairside manor and diagnostic skill during exam. During exam you can tell you are with someone that knows what he's doing and is good at it ! and the people in the office are both fun and nice as can be.
Matt J.
Dr. Cunningham, and the entire staff at the La Jolla office, are really amazing. I have never felt more at ease in a medical setting than in this office. Everyone is very reasonable and personable. Dr. Cunningham is friendly, relaxed, and tremendously good at his job. Work gets done fast and well. The office is up to date with modern techniques. I can't really say enough good things about this office. Been going there for several years and will continue to use them for the foreseeable future.

Great dentist! It is so hard to find a good dentist and I am so glad I found Dr. Cunningham! The staff is wonderful - Amanda is so nice and helpful in explaining dental benefits and assisting with referrals. The hygeniest is awesome and uses a plastic scrapper on me since I have sensitive teeth. And the dentist is great, he is the first person to fill a cavity on me without it hurting at all! I would recommend this dentist to anyone.
