I have insurance, went in to have a tooth pulled. The dentist took one x-ray, never looked in my mouth, told me $555.00 to pull or $1600.00 to put on a crown. Of course they came up with every extra that insurance didn't cover, walked out never to return.

I spent many years hiding my smile and always being carefule to smile with my lips held tightly together.



My Plastic Surgeon recommended Dr. Patton, he and his family see Dr. Patton as their family dentist. Dr. Patton is one of the very few dentists on staff at Scripps La Jolla.



I now smile freely without first thinking about my teeth...Dr. Patton was so kind and understanding...and worked with me all the way through the process including working with me on the financial plan.
