Christopher H Layton, DDS

I hadn’t seen a Dentist in over 7 years, possibly 8 because of my huge fear of Dentist’s offices. My experience from the moment I walked in the door, to the chair, durning my exam and even the root canal was such a pleasant experience I was almost shocked. Dr. Layton is amazingly gentle and soft spoken, he works at your speed, not his. He is the most selfless Dentist I’ve ever met. He truly cares about you and your comfort. There is absolutely no judgment, no lecture about how your teeth have been taken care of, just understanding and kindness. And to top it all off his staff is outstanding! All of them are sweet, warm and welcoming. I’m looking forward to finally having my teeth taken care of.
THANK YOU DR. LAYTON & STAFF

Who wants to go to the dentist right?! My daughters first dentist visit was so easy and I didn’t have to be in the room (I peaked around the corner the whole time) dr Layton was gentle and easy with her and showed her proper hygiene. She keeps asking to go back.
As for me I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 12 years. Yeah I know… Horrible experiences make you stay away. First visit was scary for me. Dr Layton and his assistant made me feel comfortable. He told me he’s glad I came in and with a plan he’ll get me back on track. Never once did he criticize me for the state of my teeth. I had to get a root canal and crown. Scary for someone who yes never goes to the dentist. Dr Layton was very positive and took his time explaining what I would need and how it works. He went above and beyond to save my tooth that was causing discomfort. It’s been about a week since my temp crown and root canal and I’m in no pain anymore and everything he told me to expect happened. He’s super gentle and I will def be visiting his office again and referring my loved ones.
Plus side my entire visit his assistant was very helpful and actually paying attention wanting to learn. Most assistants watch tv or text.

My new favorite dentist of all time!
First let me say that I have never been to this office before, but I was leaving on vacation and had a bad tooth. I called and was happily seen the same day. I was referred to a specialist who I saw the next day and then back for finishing work the third day (scheduled during their lunch hour). Wow who does that is all I can say. Staff was fun, friendly and knowledgable. Dr. Layton was great.
I’ve had a lot of issues with my teeth over the years and have seen many dental facilities and dentists and let me tell you, this office and staff are, by far, the best!

I came for dental work and the doctor did a very good job. He was very gentle. He also talked me through every procedure. I’m very happy with the work he performed on my teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Layton to anyone seeking a professional and caring dental experience.

I can not say enough how much I love Dr. Layton and his staff.
You can tell from the minute your enter their office you are home. The receptionist Aimee has a warm smile and is so helpful. Maddie the hygienist really takes the time to do an amazing job and to educate on proper oral hygiene. Dr. Chris and Kimberly are caring and compassionate, always catering to their patients needs no matter the age.
My family and I have been patients with Dr. Layton for a several years and would recommend his office to everyone. If you are searching for a new dentist your search is over. Dr. Layton and his staff will have you feeling like family from the minute you walk in the door.

Since I was a young girl, I always loved going to the dentist. I’ve had some terrible experiences recently with other dentists, one of which should have his license revoked. HOWEVER, last week my 3.5 year old son and I walked through the doors to Dr. Layton’s office and the first thing I noticed was how clean and how fancy the leather couch was! My son immediately jumped on it, and Amy at the front desk welcomed us practically with open arms. I immediately knew that this was going to be a fantastic place.
My son was going in for his first ever cleaning. He had had some major dental work done just 8 months prior after he cracked his front tooth at a neighbor’s house, so he wasn’t super stoked about going. I can say though that the staff, especially Dr. Layton, made him feel like he was at home. They turned on Nick Jr on the t.v. which totally made him feel at ease. He even gave the doctor a fist bump… so I knew all would be okay. The dental hygienist must have been a toddler whisperer because she was somehow able to clean each and every tooth like it was nothing. Meanwhile, they took me into another room and started working on me. Not once did my son cry out for me. Not. One. Time. And we were there for almost two hours.
I have to say, Dr. Layton was awesome. He was thorough and kind and took very good care of both my son and I. His staff was warm and professional, and just fabulous! He definitely MUST add child dentistry to specialties. They were absolutely fantastic! Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Clearly, you’re doing something right because your staff is wonderful and you were a joy to sit for. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend this doctor for your cleaning needs. xx

I cannot say enough positive comments about Dr. Layton and his staff. They were referred to me by a business associate who is also very satisfied with Dr. Layton’s work. Dr. Layton and his staff are friendly, kind, helpful and professional. We have been going to Dr. Layton for four years now and couldn’t be happier. We have always received outstanding dental care from him at a fair and reasonable cost. For one procedure I actually did some price checking and Dr. Layton’s prices were lower than my prior dentist. We are thankful that we have found such a professional and trustworthy dentist.

If I could put no stars I would. This Dentist was quick to tell my wife that her teeth required thousands of dollars ($ 7k) of work and that she can easily apply for a Care Dental Credit Plan (he just happened to offer) to help her pay for these outlandish fees. Since then we called 2 Dentists and visited 1 and assured us that her out-​of-​pocket expenses (for the same corrective procedures) in their office would only be about $ 800. This office just has no shame in trying to rip off unsuspecting people trying to take good care of their teeth.
SHAME ON YOU CALAVERAS HILLS DENTAL!!!

Dr. Layton is a great dentist, I actually travel from Imperial Beach for my checkups! (That’s how great he is!)
First and absolutely foremost he is ethical and trustworthy. That is very difficult to find. I know that if I need work to get done, it is because it is a necessity and not because he wants to run my bill up. Awesome, right?!
Secondly he and his staff are absolutely the best. Smiling, happy, they all love their work, dig their job and really do care about their patients. Awesome people!!!
Third?! He does great, awesome work. I have never had a problem with any work he has done and really do appreciate that he takes his craft very very seriously. :D
I recommend him to my friends, family and now I recommend YOU go to him. You won’t be sorry! :D

Christopher Layton has relocated his office and updated all of his equipment. Although he is now even further from me, I will continue to make the drive to see him. Unfortunately for me I have seen dozens of different Dentists, I can still say with absolute confidence Christopher Layton is the best.

My experience with Dr. Layton was the most professional, painless, and efficient dentist experience I’ve ever had. Dr. Layton and his staff are extremely kind and helpful. Everyone made me feel safe and comfortable. I went to Dr. Layton for a teeth cleaning and cavity fill. There was not one moment I felt discomfort or pain. I highly recommend using Dr. Layton for all your dentistry needs!

I found Dr Layton’s office on Unilocal several months ago when they were located in Oceanside. Today was 2^nd visit at new office in Vista. The new office is so nice and roomy and has new equipment! Aimee runs the front desk and is the sweetest person, she is so patient with insurance claims and scheduling. She is very organized and goes out of her way to help me in any way possible. The hygienist Maddie cleaned my teeth and honestly the best cleaning I’ve ever had. She really takes her time and is so thorough. My teeth look so clean and white and feel so good! I was very grateful and they did such a good job. You can tell they really care for their patients and love what they do by their efforts to make the patient comfortable. They are a great team. I’m so happy I found this office. You will not regret coming here.

Now I’m like most in that I don’t care for the dentist all that much. But all my worries are throw out the door when it comes to Dr. Layton and his staff. Aimee is amazing, never skips a beat. And Maddy is the most wonderful and gentle hygienist I’ve ever met! Hands down the best dentist I’ve ever been to.
