Dr. Brittany and RDA Frank performed with exceptional care for our two (so far! Maybe a 3rd in the future) children with braces. They make it easy and almost pleasant! Who would ever call the orthodontist pleasant!? Welp, you found it here. Always leaving feeling cared for and with the best intentions for a healthy long term mouth!

I have been bringing my three children here for both dental and orthodontic services. The entire staff has always been so warm and welcoming. Dr. Eric, Dr. Stephanie, and Dr. Brenda have always taken the time to explain things not just to me, but also to my children- allowing them to be involved in the decision making process for their health. I recommend Kensington Pediatric Dentistry to all families.

My daughter LOVES coming to this dentist. She has zero dental anxiety. The lobby has games, walls are painted with fun murals, tvs in the ceiling so she barely notices when the dentist is poking around. The staff is so kind, gentle and knowledgeable. We highly, HIGHLY recommend Kensington to all our friends and family.

We've been patients at Kensington Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics for years and never had a bad experience. The staff is always kind, professional, and ready to help. Dr. Stephanie is so cheerful and makes the kids feel safe and happy. My kids never complain about going to the dentist—they actually look forward to it! As a mom, I feel like they take great care of my kids' dental hygiene and encourage them to care about their teeth. They're honest with treatment plans and do good work. Such a positive experience in San Diego.

We’ve been going to KPD since my children were little . They are now teens, and still go here. The doctors and hygienists are wonderful. Everything is always explained very well and I know their teeth are in good hands. They have everything ( including TV’s on the ceiling ….an awesome prize box etc.) to make your child feel at ease and not be scared of the dentist .

We have been coming here since our daughter was 1. We don’t even live in this neighborhood anymore and still make the drive down. Everyone here is very friendly and we’ve had a great experience every time . They are very informative and take their time. Our youngest was very sensitive at first and hated it and kicked and screamed but staff were very patient with her and accommodated her and now she’s 5 and enjoys coming without fear. We see Stephanie Dixon and Brittany Koncz.

My son had an excellent experience getting his braces on today. He was nervous, but they explained everything they were going to do and kept him calm and pain free. Dr Brenda and her assistant did a wonderful job. Can't wait for straight teeth!

Since moving to San Diego, we've been bringing our kids to Kensington Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, and it's been a hit. The giant giraffe, fish tank, iPad games at check-in, and toy choices at the end make it so fun. The staff is always friendly, and they really try to make dental visits enjoyable for kids. Not many people love going to the dentist, but here they actually look forward to it! Can't thank them enough for their efforts.

Honestly, I was a bit nervous coming in for my first visit, but the moment I walked into Kensington Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics in San Diego, all that faded. The front desk team got me checked in super quick and answered all my questions without rushing. The dental team was gentle and patient, explaining every step of my pediatric dental exam so I knew what was happening. The whole place is clean and calm, which really helped me relax. Couldn't have asked for a better experience for my dental treatment here.

Janet was super attentive and made my daughter feel at ease as soon as she sat in the chair. She gave Selena great tips on using the Platypus flosser—said it can be used a few times before tossing, just rinse. We really love Kensington Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, the dentists and staff in San Diego!

The entire orthodontics team at Kensington Pediatric is amazing, but Frank did a super fun design today that he calls, “The Christmas Carmel”- my daughter LOVES them! Thank you!! Update: I meant to post the first part in December! Now fast forward to this past weekend. My daughter is almost done w her first phase braces journey. She was fitted for retainers and scheduled to have a permanent wire for the bottom teeth. After some thought, we decided to request a removable retainer for both top and bottom. I called and spoke with Jackie last Friday. Dr. Brenda was out of the office for the weekend but Jackie prioritized our request and got back to me early this morning (Monday) to confirm the change- my daughter was anxious about having a permanent retainer and Jackie was empathetic- she was professional and kind- as always. We are so grateful for the entire dental and orthodontic team!! Excellent care!

We’ve been bringing our son to Kensington Pediatric Dentistry for years and continue to do so even after we moved farther away. We love Dr. Brittany and the whole staff. They are gentle and kind with our kiddo, always making sure he’s comfortable and understands what to expect. We just recently got his braces removed and it was a great experience; after only one year he looks like he has all new teeth! We could not be happier with the care from Dr. Brittany, Frank, and the whole office!
