South Bay Prosthodontics

I had crown work done on my front teeth a few years ago, and unfortunately I am still unhappy with the results. The crowns look flat, bulky, and very unnatural compared to my natural teeth. The shape and appearance have never felt right. Because the crowns are so noticeable, I have felt self-conscious smiling and avoid smiling in photos altogether. This has affected my confidence for years, which is extremely disappointing given how important front teeth are to a person’s appearance. I was so disappointed that I never wanted to go back and address my concerns with Dr. Rodriguez. It’s unfortunate that after paying so much money, I did not obtain the quality of work I expected. At this point, I am now searching for another prosthodontist to have the crowns replaced in hopes of finally restoring my confidence. I wish I had received a more natural, aesthetic result from the beginning.

I have been a patient at this office for several years. Just recently I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Alejandra Rodriguez. She was very kind and listened to all my concerns regarding my dental health. I highly recommend this office, no matter which doctor you will see. The staff is also exceptional and will go above and beyond to meet all your needs.

I was referred to Dr. Rodriguez for her extensive experience with complex dental cases, and I can confidently say the recommendation was right on target. I was impressed by the staff’s professionalism and spotless office, to the flat-screen monitors that make the process transparent and educational. Dr. Rodriguez is detail oriented, friendly, approachable, and clearly passionate about her work. She outlined a comprehensive treatment plan that included replacing old crowns (which are created in-house for a perfect fit) and referring me to an orthodontist as part of a multi -step treatment plan. Zero pressure just honest guidance and a straightforward plan. I highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez and her team. Her deep expertise, genuine care for patients, and commitment to quality truly make her a standout.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. MariaElena Rodriguez and her staff. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was welcomed with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for what would truly be exceptional visits. The entire team at this practice goes above and beyond in every aspect of care, and it’s clear they are deeply committed to not only providing the highest quality dental services but also ensuring each patient feels valued and well-cared for. The office itself is a perfect blend of modern sophistication and comfort, with state-of-the-art technology that ensures every procedure is done with the utmost precision. It’s evident that they stay ahead of the curve with the latest advancements in dental care, making the experience both seamless and impressive. I keep on telling them that their work is true artistry. The technology they use I have never experienced at any other dental office. What truly sets this office apart, though, is the team’s dedication to perfection. Every member of the staff, from the hygienists to the doctors, takes immense pride in their work. They’re not only skilled but also meticulous, ensuring that every treatment is performed to perfec

I had a very disappointing experience at South Bay Prosthodontics due to improper tooling and technique in attempting to remove an implant abutment. Ultimately, their recommendation was to remove the entire implant surgically--something that proved unnecessary after I sought a second opinion whom successfully removed the abutment because he ordered the correct tooling first. Why South Bay Prosthodontics would proceed without proper tooling suggests lack of experience with the implant system and poor judgment to proceed without first checking with the system manufacturer. Concerns with Treatment: The prosthodontist assigned to my case (not Dr. MariaElena Rodriguez, but another doctor on staff, possibly Dr. Ikoma) exhibited noticeable shakiness in her hands, which made me uneasy. While this could have been fatigue, it was early in the morning, and it affected my confidence in the procedure. The office did not have the proper tooling to safely remove the abutment. Instead, significant pulling and force were applied, causing discomfort and unnecessary difficulty - as well as risking damage to the implant. After the initial attempt failed, Dr. MariaElena Rodriguez stepped in. When

Dr. Rodriguez and her team are amazing! I have treated with Dr. Rodriguez for several years now and her work is impeccable. In the last two years, two of my teenage boys have had injuries where their front teeth were broken and Dr. Rodriguez saw them immediately, performed emergency repair work, and ultimately left their teeth looking perfect. I am so grateful that I know who to call for my family’s dental emergencies with outstanding dental work!

My experience with South Bay Prosthodontics was extraordinary. My father, who is 68 years old, needed dental care, and Dr. Rodriguez and her team went above and beyond to provide him with the best possible treatment. From the moment we stepped into the clinic, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. Dr. Rodriguez took the time to not only assess my father's dental needs but also to connect with him on a personal level. She listened attentively to his concerns, making him feel safe, comfortable, heard, and understood. What truly touched my heart was Dr. Rodriguez's commitment to the wellness of her patients and her dedication to serving the community. The entire team at South Bay Prosthodontics demonstrated exceptional care and professionalism throughout my father's treatment. From the front desk staff to the dental assistants, everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Thanks to Dr. Rodriguez and her team, my father received the dental care he needed. I am deeply grateful for their kindness and expertise. If you're looking for a dental practice that truly cares about its patients, I highly recommend South Bay Prosthodontics . They are not just committed to d
