“My parents also have received excellent care from Dr. Spalenka and his staff.”

Extensive Dental Work & Afraid of the Dentist

“I had not been to a dentist in years. I was afraid because I knew I needed extensive work. A good friend of mine who is a dental hygienist in another office recommended Dr. Spalenka, because I wanted sedation dentistry.

“My first visit was a pleasant surprise. Everyone in the office made me at ease and comfortable. Dr. Spalenka explained everything in detail. He’s been so kind and caring, I ended up not having sedation.

“It’s been over a year and I’m almost done. I’m happy to say it has been a great experience.”

Teeth Cleaning, Fillings, Crowns and Veneers

“Dr. Spalenka is a very caring, diligent and detail oriented dentist. He spends so much time and effort with every procedure as needed until I am completely satisfied with the work being done. He is assisted by a well-trained staff. He runs his office with efficiency and teamwork. I have been a patient for over 30 years along with my husband and daughter. We obviously trust Dr. Spalenka in all aspects of the work he performance on us. He is also dedicated to his profession as he attends conferences and seminars regularly to further his knowledge in his field and keep updated on current trends and techniques. I highly recommend Dr. James Spalenka to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated dentist.

Multiple Procedures

“I have been a patient of Dr. Spalenka for the past 18 years. During that time I have had dental emergencies. Without exception, I have been taken care of with professional, expert, personalized efficient treatment. From Janelle and Clarissa in the front office through Mannie and Jessica assisting personably, empathetically and expertly in the dental surgery to, of course, Dr. Spalenka utilizing advanced equipment in the office complete my dental experience with a smoothly, efficiently and cordially run dental office. Thank you Dr. Spalenka and your entire team for the pleasant, professional dental care you have afforded me for almost two decades.

Porcelain Veneers

“I chipped my upper right lateral tooth in middle school, and had a small, dull colored composite put over it. It was too small to match my other teeth, and I was always self-conscious about my smile. When I approached Dr. Spalenka about what options I had, he said reassuringly, “Don’t worry, we’ll take care of you.” Soon after, I had a new porcelain veneer and a movie star smile. I used to be scared about smiling, but now, thanks to Dr. Spalenka, I rarely stop doing it. Needless to say I was impressed with the results, and I was equally impressed with the personal care and attention I received from Dr. Spalenka and everyone in the office. Thank you Dr. Spalenka!

Multiple Procedures, Painless Dentistry

“My wife and I have been patients of Jim (I will never get used to the name James) Spalenka for at least 25 years. When we first moved to Ranch Bernardo we wanted to find a capable dentist who demonstrated to us a genuine concern for his patients.

“My wife was a patient of Dr. John Scottosanti, periodontist and dental surgeon, and without hesitation he recommended Dr. James Spalenka. Since then, Jim has never failed to prove to us his skills, caring and friendliness in the years that we have gone to him for treatment.

“We have had numerous types of procedures over the years from the doctor and his staff including everything from teeth whitening to partial dentures, extractions, fixed bridges, inlays, implants, etc. I am always amazed that despite a full and active practice Jim is able to keep himself abreast of all the newer dental techniques and practices. He believes sincerely in “painless dentistry” and I cannot ever recall experiencing sustained pain or discomfort in his chair. On numerous occasions I have recommended several acquaintances and friends to Jim’s office for emergency care and without exception they have all commented to me on his skills and friendly manner and his efforts to fit them into his busy schedule.

“Several things stand out in my mind regarding our relationship with Dr. Spalenka. However, one of the most striking is that after every procedure we have had with him he never fails to call us in the evening to be sure that we are not suffering any discomfort, as he does with each one of his patients for that day. That may not seem much but it is another demonstration to me of his concern for his patients and his objective of good dentistry.

“Jim and his excellent staff have become good friends of ours over the years and a trip to his office is always an opportunity to visit with them and bring each other up-to-date on our families’ welfares.

“We would never be hesitant to recommend the services of Dr. Spalenka to anyone seeking a competent and caring dentist.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Spalenka’s for almost 3 years. In that time, the service I have received from him and his professional staff has been outstanding. No matter what procedures, Dr. Spalenka is meticulous to every detail and follows up on directly with you to ensure a complicated treatment has been successful, you are satisfied, and are healing appropriately. Personal, professional, quality dental care and treatments every time!”

– Dennis

Extensive Dental Work

“My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Spalenka for several years. We are very happy with Dr. Spalenka and his office staff. Each one of them is courteous, professional and always friendly.

“We have needed extensive dental work, which has always been done without pain. Dr. Spalenka calls to check on our status the evening after we’ve had procedures done to make sure we’re ok. He cares – it’s that obvious!

“Dr. Spalenka has always made time to see us right away if we have a dental problem. It’s great having a dentist who is concerned about his patients!”
