Jeffrey W Fruin, DDS

Dr Jeff Fruin is hands down the BEST dentist in Encinitas Carlsbad area, if not San Diego! He is also the most gentle dentist I’ve ever been to. My children love him as well and are not fearful of «going to the dentist» anymore. He always makes them laugh too.
I recently had a top frontal side by side crown and veneer done by him. They are the most perfect flawless front teeth and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. All due to his patience, precision and perfection that he dedicates to every patient.
The entire office and assistant staff are wonderful and kind and very helpful in all situations. I am so happy to have finally found an exceptional dentist and I highly recommend him to all. This place is a winner!

Recently moved to the neighborhood and finally needed to replace my dentist in Orange County (I loved her so much I traveled to see her the past year!). I was able to get an appointment for a cleaning the same week I called as they had a cancellation.
Hygienist was really sweet and did a great job. She said she’s worked with Dr. Fruit for the past couple years and compared to some dentists she has worked for, he’s honest and will never be the dentist who just tries to make money off his patients.
And most importantly, Dr. Fruin lives up to the hype! He was super nice and I can tell that if I actually needed more than a checkup I could trust him to be honest.

I can not say enough about this teams talent, professionalism and care. I have been seeing Dr. Fruin on and off for ten years and am so blessed to have his outstanding skills. The best oral hygienisst and the best care. I regret that I will be relocating to the east coast. I will miss you guys and the amazing care. My old teeth are looking good!

We love Dr. Fruin. My husband and I have gone to him for several years, and today I took my kids (aged 9 and 10), who had previously gone to a local children’s dentist. My kids had the best dental experience EVER with Dr. Fruin. He is so fun, honest and professional. He does not do unnecessary procedures and gives you the straight scoop on whether something is necessary. I highly recommend Dr. Fruin.

Jeff & his team are awesome! He cracks me up and he is really good at what he does! Best dentist ever!!! I drive from Kearny Mesa to see this class act! ;) YOu wont be sorry!!! Check them out!

Dr Fruin does an excellent job keeping my teeth in top shape. He does all this with a super relaxed attitude reflecting his San Fernando valley orgins. I have recommended him to friends and family who also value his services.

We take our granddaughter there because he is so good with children. does great work and very patient with the children.

Excellent dentist. our entire family has been seeing Dr. Fruin for over 5 years. my kids are ages 11 and 14 and are actually excited to see the dentist (go figure).
highly recommend for both adults and children. the office is state-​of-​art new equipment and staff is excellent overall.

I love this dentist! Having spent several years in a variety of other practices in the area, he is hands down the best. No upselling in the chair — just competent, friendly service.
What triggered me to write, however, was really excellent service we received this week. My husband lost a crown, called, and was in the chair within an hour and a half. And instead of selling him a new crown, Dr Fruin fixed the old one. Then I called yesterday afternoon with a toothache and was seen this morning.
If you like old school, good customer service combined with the latest dental skills and technology, this place is for you.

I’ve been going to Jeff Fruin for my whole families’ dental care for some years now. Today I had the unfortunate situation of having a temporary crown come off while I was flossing and it’s a Saturday. First I thought I’ll push the thing back in and tough it out till Monday. Then the nerves felt the air and my certainty of plan ‘A’ was abandoned. I called Jeff’s office number and got the recording of a direct number for after hours emergencies. But I still was wrestling whether I was an emergency or not, then a nerve in my mouth said, ‘Yep you qualify’. After telling Jeff my dilemma he asked if I could get to his office in 15 minutes. I did and he and his beautiful wife met me at the office door. I was fixed and on my way in about 20 minutes. It was awesome to get small town personal treatment like this. I am very thankful.

i was referred here by my friend who works with insurance coverage companies.
she and have been going through several dentists, just to find one who doesn’t pad their billing with secret procedures that you «needed», but weren’t told you needed them.
his staff efficiently checked me, and i immediately went back with the xray tech.
i declined xrays, i had had them every year for the last 10 years, and finally decided i’d rather not get irradiated when i have had perfect teeth, no issues (lucky dog me).
she was young, and little discombobulated about me declining (not sure she knew what to do), but finally sent the dental hygienist in.
she was lovely, talkative, interesting convo.
she cleaned my teeth very thoroughly, and was strong enough, but gentle.
then, a big burly bear like guy comes in, very deep voice, very pleasant, and making jokes… dr. fruin.
very sweet and funny.
he was ok with me not getting xrays, and suggested to wait on getting invisalign (told my teeth were shifting from previous dentist, and they wanted to charge me $ 6000 for this).
dr. fruin said it is mild, and to wait for a few years, which i appreciated.
overall, dr. fruin and staff were very honest.
it was a clean facility.
i enjoyed seeing him, and having a good experience.

I have worked in the dental field for years, about 15, and he is hands down the best doctor with people and children! If you want to take the stress out of going to the dentist, then you need to see Dr. Jeff!

I recommend Jeff for several reasons. First of all, the work is top notch. He and his staff get the job done right the first time.
Then he is honest. I came to him after trying another dentist who told me I had a dozen cavities and gave me a fluoride treatment too. Yeah, turns out I only had 2 very small ones. Jeff told me he hears stories like mine every week.
In addition, he’s got a great new office with current technology. I’m specifically referring to digital x-​rays, which are a lot less harmful. I’m sure he’s up-​to-​date on other equipment, but thankfully I haven’t been exposed to it.
Finally, he is a personable guy who will tell you crazy stories as he works on you. And he usually wears a Hawaiian shirt.

Wow! I no longer fear going to the dentist.
Jeff is very good at making you feel comfortable and his entire staff is honest about your teeth.
My last dentist, Carlsbad Open 7 Day, over-​charged me (a few thousand dollars) and continually tried to up-​sell more and more products that I didn’t need or want.
With Jeff, you’re in and out. You get what you need and you get to go home. Plus, he’s pretty good at telling crazy stories that keep you coming back for more.
Make sure to say «Hi» to his mom, Pat. She runs the front office and she’s awesome!
