We were in 5 different offices before we found Dr.Wendy Yang including the fancy and well known dentists around the San Diego Area. All of them offered us treatment plans with IV sedation except Dr.Wendy. My son has ADHD so none of the dentists were able to handle him. My gut feeling knew from the first moment that she was the best when she held her tools and started checking my hyper boy:) . I explained to her my concern about IV sedation. Dr Wendy was very confident about herself and she told us she will try her best . We have been seeing her since then and yes my son's treatment plan finished just with just Nitrous Oxide ( Laughing gas ) - including tooth extractions and filling . She is a miracle if you have a neurodivergent child. She never judges your neurodivergent kids' behaviour , she respects parents' ideas , she doesn't rush your kid's treatment at all and never tries to convince you to have an extra treatment you actually don't need . ( I experienced that a lot with other dentists !!) Nina from the front office is the great and she is the best with crazy insurance policies. You can ask her anything and she knows better than insurance companies :) Finally I am signing the paperwork at a dentist office without stress knowing that Nina will take care of it with no mistake . She always informs you if you have a credit and always offers you pay back if there is any credit on your account . Five stars is nothing for Sprouting Smiles . They deserve infinite stars :) If you are looking for a pediatric dentist who will take care of your kid as her kid , honest , direct , knowledgeable , respectful Dr. Wendy is the one . My son is so lucky to have her . Thank you so much Dr.Wendy , San Diegan kids is so lucky to have a dentist like you .

Thank you, Feray, for sharing such a heartfelt and detailed experience. We’re so grateful for your trust and are glad Dr. Wendy could provide patient, respectful, and gentle pediatric dental care for your son, especially with a neurodivergent child and ADHD needs, using nitrous oxide instead of IV sedation when appropriate. It means so much to hear that the treatment plan, extractions, fillings, and insurance support from Nina helped your family feel comfortable, informed, and cared for throughout every visit.

Our kids love going to the dentist! Every experience is approached with kindness and a gentle touch. They feel safe and confident. All the goodies they earn don’t hurt either!

Thank you, Kimberly, for your kind review. We’re so happy to hear your kids feel safe, confident, and excited for their dental visits, and we truly appreciate your trust in our gentle pediatric dental care, friendly team, and kid-focused approach.

I've brought my little girl here since she was 1 year old. My daughter had a frenectomy done early on to help with her speech & eating. I was given the option to wait and see how the gum would affect her growth and then potentially have a frenectomy done later, or do it sooner and have a easy recovery with less discomfort (since a baby's diet is soft foods / liquids). I get her routine cleaning done every 6 months. At the end she gets to pick a toy, a balloon, and a sticker. I love this place! My daughter feels comfortable with Dr.Wendy and actually listens to her during the examinations (she can be quite independent). 10/10 would recommend.

Thank you, Tatyana, for sharing your daughter’s experience and for trusting us with her dental care since she was 1. We’re so glad Dr. Wendy has helped her feel comfortable during routine cleanings, exams, and her frenectomy care, while also making each visit positive with a kid-friendly approach, gentle guidance, and fun rewards.

Everything about this place is top notch. The staff were very attentive, quick, professional, and nice. The doctor is the nicest and most sincere and patient I’ve ever seen. She took very good care of both of my children and took her time to care for them and answer all my questions and address my concerns. This is the best dentist you can ever find in San Diego to care for your young ones. The space itself is perfectly equipped for kids, TVs everywhere with cartoons and apps to choose from, toys everywhere, headphones, prizes, popsicles, balloons and stickers and so much more. It is the perfect dental office you can find. I highly recommend this place and this dentist.

Thank you, Noor, for such a thoughtful review and recommendation. We’re so glad your children felt cared for and that our team provided a patient, professional, and kid-friendly dental experience.

Marzhan Mursalimova
This place has absolutely no respect for patients’ time. They double and triple book appointments, making you wait nearly an hour or maybe more past your scheduled time. This was our second visit, and nothing has changed the same unprofessional and disrespectful approach. Clearly, they don’t value their patients at all.
Bless Dan
Dr. Wendy is the best I have come across in San Diego area for my child. She is very good with children and her office is welcoming to children with little rewards and updated televisions. She made sure the televisions are in their line of sight both sitting and laying down. Her office is maintained very clean. Her Staff is also kind and respectful. Most of all, she listened to my concerns about my sons teeth and intervened with less invasive procedures possible. She has options for less invasive procedures and skilled to do them. She also recently used laser treatment on my son which was less painful for him. She deserves to be Awarded for her Exceptional care. Prayers for Dr. Wendys' practice to be Blessed and a Blessing to Many

Thank you, Bless, for such a heartfelt review and kind words. We’re so glad your son felt comfortable and cared for with Dr. Wendy and our team, and we truly appreciate you recognizing the clean, child-friendly office, gentle pediatric dental care, less invasive treatment options, and laser dentistry approach. Your trust and support mean so much to us.

Dr. Wendy was so great wouldn’t my little son she kept entertaining him with fun language talking about Peppa Pig and other cartoon characters at the same time wow she was cleaning his teeth. Definitely recommend her for anyone who has kids that need professional cleaning feeling Or any dental work?

Thank you, Jeremiah, for the wonderful recommendation. We’re so glad your son had a fun and comfortable visit with Dr. Wendy, and that her gentle approach, kid-friendly communication, and professional children’s teeth cleaning helped make his dental care experience positive.

I usually don’t write reviews, but. This one honestly deserves a review & many more star rates. I can not express how much I appreciate Dr. & her staff. My daughter, Penelope, has been coming here for some time now and couldn’t be more than happy to have found such a perfect place to come to. My daughter did not like coming to the dentist but she has improved so much in every one of her visits & now looks forward to her dentists visits! Walking in getting greeted by her wonderful front desk! They have a lot of nice & cool things for kids at the front desk as well as when her visit is over, thank you for being so patient & having the most up front communication & service! Such a clean & professional place.

I’m an orthodontist and I HIGHLY recommend Sprouting Smiles! Dr. Wendy is absolutely wonderful- you and your children will LOVE her. The team is awesome and super sweet!

Dr. Wendy and Christi are amazing professionals and so great with kids. My four year son needed some dental work due to cavities and he still said he had so much fun!
Nancy Sanchez
I am so grateful that there are still dentists like Dr Wendy who are so amazing with kids! This was our first visit and the whole staff was so friendly and welcoming! I love the modern feel, they also provide headphones and television to watch while they clean your child's teeth! I highly recommend taking your little ones for all their dental visits.
KC
Dr. Yang is very good, but the bill might over charged in the beginning, suggest check with your insurance company. After made several call with dental office and provided report from insurance company, in the end got refund.
Lauren Valli
Dr. Wendy Yang is AMAZING. So happy we found her. Professional, friendly, wonderful with babies, toddlers, and kids! Her staff are great too. Easy to make appointments, never have to wait. They have tons of toys, books, and more to engage your little one. They have tvs also on the ceiling and are willing to play any child content at your request. Keep up the great work and energy! -Lauren
Natalie Haberkorn
I cannot stay enough amazing things about Sprouting Smiles. The minute you walk in the door you are welcomed with open arms. The front is decorated for the holidays with the friendliest staff! Once you go back the chairs are adorable with TVs in front and above, headphones and sunglasses for a comfortable feel for your little ones. The staff treats you with so much care and understanding of each little one. They really go above and beyond to make sure your experience every time is the best experience! Dr Wendy is absolutely amazing! My children adorable her and she made sure to take her time getting to know the kids and making it a fun and pain free experience for all ages. My kids finally look forward to going to the dentist! Thank you Dr Wendy and the Sprouting Smiles Staff, you’re all amazing!

Excellent experience for all 4 of my girls! Super kid friendly and knowledgeable.

Theresa Johnson
Love this dentist for my kids they do a amazing job especially with my toodler?
Miriam Libonati-Bitton
If I could give more stars I would. I absolutely love this place, My son is neurodivergent so working up visits to the dentist has been a journey. Dr Wendy is absolutely wonderful with littles of all sizes and personalities. The staff of so supportive and compassionate. My little guy now gets excited to go to the dentist which says so much. If you are looking for a compassionate, flexible dentist that meets children where they need/want - this is your spot! I would recommend them 100X over.
LeeAnn Topar
Dr. Wendy is an absolute gem! She is kind, enthusiastic, great with kids and so quick. She is incredibly skilled at pediatric dentistry. I have 4 kids, teen to toddler, and she is great with all of them. 2 years ago my youngest chipped his front teeth. I called multiple pediatric dentists in the area and Dr. Wendy saw him right away. He screams through most of his appointments and Dr. Wendy is always incredibly patient with him. My oldest also had major dental anxiety from previous experiences with a different dentist. Dr. Wendy and her hygienists are always so understanding and accommodating. The office is also very clean and welcoming. They always decorate so cute for every season. I truly can’t say enough great things about Sprouting Smiles Pediatric Dentistry. Thanks for being so amazing!
SD Robles
Again the staff, Dr. Wendy all top-notch. Have great experiences with our special-needs daughter and her little brother. We can’t say enough they’re wonderful

Emily’s Cacciapaglia
Dental assistant and Dentist were both very sweet kind and patient. My 7 year old has anxiety and normally does not allow anyone to work on her teeth. She has a relaxing stress free appointment thanks to the staff at Sprouting smiles. ?
Kaylee Talmich
I’ve been bringing my son here for a few years. The office is always so clean and welcoming with kids music playing. The rooms are very nice and have 2 tv’s to keep your child entertained. Dr Wendy is amazing with my son. She always makes him feel so comfortable and talks me through the exam and what she is seeing. I love the amount of time she spends making sure my son is at ease and I understand what is going on.
Annette Yap
Dr. Wendy and her team are amazing. They are incredibly patient and kind. I can’t say enough good things about the Sprouting Smiles team.
Tetiana Ordono
My 4 years old son had a temporary filling from different practice which fall out just before we were going for vacation. Luckily Sprouting Smiles had an appointment practically the next day I’ve reached them out and Dr. Wendy was able to evaluate and make a new filling at once. She also pointed out some other issues with my son’s dental health and possible ways to approach them in the future which I also very grateful. She definitely knows how to treat the little people, my son has a smoothest experience ever. To addition, the staff is great, facility is clean and entertaining for a smaller kiddos, so we will definitely make it our dentistry.
Heather Gibbons
Dr. Wendy is the best! We love the staff and how patient everyone is. Distractions are perfect for my young kiddos! They get lost in their favorite shoes while getting their teeth cleaned with marshmallow flavored toothpaste! Total win!
Tracy Canonizado
Dr. Wendy and staff were great! Dr. Wendy spent time explaining how to floss and brush my 4 year olds teeth very thoroughly. She’s very personable and my son loved her (until she was in his mouth). Considering he’s only 4 and it was his first time at a dental office, I think he really liked her too. He got to watch Mickey Mouse Club house during his visit on the offices TV and was the most calm I’ve seen him in a doctors office. There was absolutely no waiting around (like when I take him to his pediatricians). Our appointment was at 3, and got there at 2:45 and was seen within 5 minutes! At the very end of the visit he got a hefty bag of goodies and a balloon! The office was very clean and seemed spacious. Her and her staff were in full PPE. The office was very easy to find and plenty of parking. Definitely recommending this dentist to all my mom friends!

Very nice dentist and extremely clean and kids-friendly facility! Highly recommended
Victoria Boyett
Wonderful first experience for my 1 year old. They were so patient and kind. Very informative.
Meli C.
Exceptional Serivce, there's tons of parking, so I didn't have to worry about arriving late. The location is so nice, and clean. They really do care about there patients.
Skye Gray
Today was my sons 3rd visit at Sprouting Smiles and we are so glad we made the switch from our previous dentist. Everyone there is so positive, kind, and welcoming. They are gentle and patient with the kids and create a very enjoyable experience (my son was so excited to go there today). They truly go above and beyond ( even had roses for the moms due to Mother’s Day coming up). So sweet. Also the environment is very clean and not overstimulating. Highly recommend!
breanne duval
they were so awesome! My son wouldnt open his mouth at his last dentist but they were very comforting and made it not scary and he was way more willing to coperate. Thanks guys!! Totally recommend this office!
Johnny Honea
My only gripe is that I didn’t have a dental facility like this when I was a kid! I’ve been taking my 4 year old here for a little over a year and the staff and treatment have been phenomenal. The atmosphere is calm, clean, bright and welcoming without leaning too far as to feel glib. Every person you interact with is professional and polite, and the effort to make children and parents comfortable shines through easily. Now that’s all pretty impressive, but the real money is in the treatment. From reception to hygienist to dentist, every person takes the time and effort to walk kids through what’s happening to demystify the whole thing. The procedures are efficiently performed, and tailored to the patients tolerance. There are tons of screens all over the place with some headphones provided if your kid wants/needs to tune out for a bit. We’ll be taking our other child when they’re ready.
Jewel Villanueva
Sweet and kind staff and Dr. Wendy made our daughter’s first dentist appointment go way better than this worried mama expected!! We found Sprouting Smiles while we were in the area and thought of dropping in to see if they were accepting new patients. They accepted our insurance and scheduled our daughter’s first appointment. The area was clean and well designed to keep kiddos entertained. Dr. Wendy was thorough explaining dental care and answered all my questions. Lucky we found them!!
Jessica Hart
My daughter and I are so happy we found Dr. Wendy and her team! Everyone was so nice, welcoming and took great care of my daughter during her cleaning and X-rays. It is so important to show our kids there is nothing to be afraid of at the dentist, this team is doing a wonderful job of just that!
Nat Andrews
We came here with hopes that it was a good fit for my daughter. Cristina the assistant was very friendly and educated my daughter on what she should be doing with her teeth esp since she has braces. The Dr was excellent! We will travel from Temecula to experience professional dental care!!

So glad your visit was enjoyable! And yes we are so lucky to have such wonderful staff like Cris! We love educating our patients and family on good home care. It’s something that seems so simple at first glance but it is really not so easy! See you at your next visit! Happy to be your new dental home ❤️??

They took great care of my son with Autism. Everyone is so nice and willing to try different ways depending on our child's needs. I will definitely be going back for all of my kids dental needs.
Matthew Ulrich
Absolutely awesome!! Dr. Yang is phenomenal and she is a brilliant with her work! A true master of her craft! The Staff was very sweet and professional! I cant recommend this place more for your kiddos! Plus the anesthesiologist Dr. Du Bois is incredible! If you want the best for your little ones...... GO HERE!!!! My wife and I want to thank everyone for giving our son a BEAUTIFUL smile! (And it was already very cute to begin with) ? From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

Aww thank you guys for all your kind words!! Little man is such a sweet kiddo and did so well in spite of all the new things in the room. Hope he likes his little blue dino and his new smile to match his already adorable little self!

My experience with my son was outstanding! Every staff member took their time and made sure my son was comfortable. They are all so knowledgeable and offered great advice. Dr. Wendy was simply AMAZING! I wholeheartedly recommend this Dental practice to any parent with a special needs child!
Kendra Marme
Sprouting Smiles and Dr. Wendy are the absolute best. The office is impeccably clean and well decorated. All of the staff are extremely friendly and attentive, and they make you and your little one feel at home. I never thought our toddler would be so relaxed, and even happy, at the dentist’s office, but he truly loves it, which is a testament to Dr. Wendy and her entire staff. We look forward to our visits and can’t say enough good things about Dr. Wendy and the entire Sprouting Smiles team!
Erica Ferguson
Just PCS'd here from overseas and was looking for a pediatric dentist. So glad I found Sprouts Smiles Ped Dentistry. The entire staff not only worked efficiently but took their time on each one of my daughters. The office was very clean but looked welcoming to kids.
Angie Gonzalez
My kids are terrified of going to the dentist because of a horrible experience they had at The super dentist. I decided to look for another place that are more gentle and caring and I am so glad I found this place! The dental assistants were AMAZING to my kids. They were able to do a whole cleaning + X rays on them and they did not cry once! I fact they were laughing the whole time!! I 100000% recommend this place to anyone!!
joe cortez
The team was very nice and explained/answered all our questions during our child’s first dental experience
Angela Severino
Thank you for showing friendliness to my daughter. It was a great experience and she can’t wait to come back.
Sinead Scott
As always a great experience bringing my two young children to the dentist, I love that they have no fear and the team are always so wonderful, patient and kind.
Marcela Leyva
Best first check up for my son. I did not have the best dental experiences as a child & I wanted to help my son love dental visits. My son did great & Dr Wendy is very knowledgeable & helpful. I highly recommend!
marcella villar
Our experience was exceptional, we had been turned away by another dental office because we were OON and did not know our benefits or what they would pay. I called Sprouting Simles and spoke Directly with Dr Wendy Yang, she was so friendly and understanding told me to bring my little one in & she would take care of her. The office was beautiful, clean and again greeted with so much kindness and compassion. Needless to say my daughter came home in less than an hour with no pain. I will be continuing my services with Dr Yang she is an amazing person with a big heart!
John McCusker
My son is 5 years old and is not a big fan of getting his teeth cleaned but Dr. Wendy did a great job handling the situation! Thank you Dr. Wendy!
Evan Schumacher
Dr. Yang did a great job repairing my child's chipped tooth. She was an excellent communicator and I'd highly recommend her.
2yougotube
Very nice dentist. Professional service in every way. Highly recommended to anyone needs a good dentist.
Olivia Ulrich
Lovely atmosphere and staff. Everyone was so thorough in explaining everything from insurance to detailed prognosis with best course of action, very kind, and patient. Would highly recommend.
Huiwen wu
great environment and nice staffs. Kid loves it here, tv, toys, stickers, it is just like birthday
James Guyot
They have been nothing short of wonderful! Kind front desk staff & very patient Dr. My son almost doesn't even mind going in. Which, as a parent, is worth it's weight in gold!
Nancy M. gómez curiel
So kind, lovely and attentive, since we got there everyone was so nice and made an effort to make my baby feel comfortable before his procedure (he got a tongue tie release).
Yung-Lin Chang
Very clean and kids friendly office. Dr. Wendy is very professional and lots of patience with little kids. We learned good brushing tips for how parents can help. Staff are also good with kids. They definitely know how to calm nervous kiddos. Highly recommended!
Lura
The staff was very helpful and accommodating. My son can be really scared at the dentist but the dentist was really patient and he didn’t cry! As a parent it was also nice to have a dentist who took my concerns seriously and made sure we addressed everything and never made us feel rushed.
Jessica Codallos
Every mom needs a dentist like Dr. Yang?❤️ We went to the dentist in Chula Vista and had a terrible experience! It led me on a journey to find someone gifted both in dental knowledge and with how they speak and treat children. We are about 45 mins away, but I had heard so many amazing things about Dr. Yang we came here for a second opinion. WOW! What a difference in all the most wonderful ways!! I feel so blessed to have found this place and I want every mama to know it’s worth the drive or the price! (They do take many insurance plans, and have payment plan options!) PS this was the ONLY a place in San Diego that would do a white crown on a kids molar tooth. We can’t do metal die to blood disorders/cancers running in the family. Also, before coming they ask about your child’s interest to have movies ready for them and discussion topics to help them feel comfortable.
Jackie Wooten
Staff is very nice, office is very kid friendly, Cocomelon on the tv was a nice distraction. My toddler did so well for her first visit, she even got a sticker, ballon and a reward from the “gum ball machine”.
Hyeseon Cheon
It's the kindest dentist I've ever been to and the facilities are so good that I'm so satisfied that my children want to go to the hospital again. And the nurses and doctor gave them prompt treatment, so it was really nice that we didn't wait long.
Nina F
I hardly do reviews but this one is an exception. Dr. Wendy and her team are awesome!! My son is on the autism spectrum with lots of dental issues. Dr. Wendy listened to my dilemma and the frustrations I had with his previous dentist. She did a phenomenal job fixing my son's teeth without anesthetics as I have requested. Simply amazing! I highly recommend Sprouting Smiles!
Lauren Jensen
Honestly, I couldn’t feel more at peace when I walk into this place with my 4 and 2 yr old. My kids are always so excited to pick out their favorite flavor toothpaste and fun show to watch! The staff are so sweet and amazing with the kids! This place made my daughter get over the fear of doctors! Thank you guys for being amazing❤️
Samantha Dunbar
Wonderful experience at Sprouting Smiles. From the front staff to the patient hygienist and wonderful Dr. Wendy Yang. My son gets very nervous going to the dentist and he loved his visit. They made him very comfortable and happy. We were never rushed. Dr. Wendy spent time during the exam to be very thorough and answer all my questions. My son’s teeth are cavity prone and I finally have a dentist who will partner with me, listen and has developed a plan to help him. So happy I found this dentist!
Kristen Richart
We had a great experience at sprouting smiles! All the staff were very friendly and helpful. They have a very nice, clean practice and my kids loved getting to pick out stuff for their goody bag. They are both looking forward to their next visit, which is the ultimate review!
Marisela Sandoval
Hands down, the absolute best. My son suffers from motor tics & we first came here after a traumatizing experience at a very well-known pediatric dentist & my expectations were beyond exceeded by Dr Yang and her team. My son needed a lot of work done & not once did I feel judged or belittled. The entire staff are very empathetic, gentle and welcoming from the moment you’re greeted at the front desk & I would recommend this office to anyone, especially those with children with special needs.
James Whitmore
Great atmosphere l, friendly staff. My son, who was not a fan of the dentist before he came here, had a great experience and said he liked this dentist and wants to come back. Thank you Dr Wendy and all your staff
Anneke Street
The staff were incredibly kind and caring. I am very grateful my friend recommended them!
Chantal Anderson
Absolutely love Sprouting Smiles! We just moved to Poway and we’re beyond thrilled with our experience. The office is clean, perfect for kids, and the team is phenomenal! Before working on both of my kids, they took the time to explain the tools, taught them how to brush with a stuffed animal, and put a movie on. My youngest has typically been terrified and although still a little nervous, he made it through his entire exam and cleaning. Dr Wendy took time to answer my questions and talk through XRays. I highly recommend Sprouting Smiles!
Alisa Selzer
Absolutely love this office. Every single person in this office is so sweet. Dr. Wendy is one of a kind. We feel so lucky that our kids get to experience such a positive environment when going to the dentist.
Heather Dominguez
I’m so glad I switched dentists to Sprouting Smiles! Friendly and professional staff. No pressure to get un-necessary treatments and a beautiful office.
Khaijon
Beautiful and clean facility. Friendly, helpful staff. Great dentist. Will recommend to friends and family.
Qin Hua
My daughter had a great experience at Sprouting Smiles. Dr. Wendy and Christine are super nice! We love here!
Belinda Slone
My son just had his first dentist appointment earlier this week and the receptionist, Dr. Wendy and Ms. Christine made his visit absolutely perfect! The staff is very patient, caring, calm and friendly. The best kind of vibe for my little shy guy. :) When he walked in they had his favorite tv show playing for him and they made sure that they explained everything they were doing to him, every step of the way. Which helped make him feel comfortable pretty quickly. I will continue to take him to see Dr. Wendy from now on. He left with prizes and a big pearly smile on his face! Thank you Sprouting Smiles Pediatric!!
Kelly-Thao Tran
as a mom to a mom, I’d highly recommend to have the kids to be seen at Sprouting Smiles: skilled and compassionate dentist, friendly and caring assistants and staff, plus clean and beautiful office as a bonus <3 . Thank you everyone at Sprouting Smiles for giving my children such a warm welcome and nice experiences at your office.
Lucia Ruiz
Excelent and beautiful place. All persons are kind and professional. I recommend 100%
lauren y
What a wonderful first dental visit! This office is superb for the littles and I am a bit jealous that adult offices are not catered to us as much as this office is! Very informative from start to finish and there were no surprises. We just need to work on our brushing. All staff are knowledgeable, professional and polite. Everything is so clean and bright. Best thing was they had my kid’s favorite movie on the screen so he was immediately at ease!
Ayeska Feliz
Dr Wendy Wang was very patient with my son. My son is very sensitive to smells and tastes. Dr Wendy Wang and her team were very accommodating and understanding of this issue. My son was able to complete the check ups and cleaning.
Andrea Davis
Took my 4 year old for his first cleaning, the ladies were all so awesome. Very sweet, has everything to make your littles comfortable. Great service!
J
I, as the parent, had been on the verge of a panic attack all week before the procedure. My 1st grader, as the patient, felt happy and calm and was thrilled to watch TV and get presents and a popsicle afterward. Dr. Wendy and the staff were all amazing and exactly what you want from a pediatric dentist!
christine roche
I went to them for a second opinion about a couple cavities my 6 yo old had. What I thought was going to be just a consult turned into getting everything fixed. The staff and dentist were great and their prices were way better than my regular ped dentist….saving me hundreds of dollars. My daughter was happy after the visit and did great getting a crown and filing. Highly recommend them.

Special needs friendly! Absolutely recommend for those parents who are unsure about attentive dentist. Look no further. Dr. Wendy, Jessica, Marie and I'm missing a few more were an incredible staff. - Took the extra time to ensure that Alexander's needs were met, went at his pace, didnt feel rushed, listened to all my concerns and answered ALL my questions. - Also, read the intake paperwork to ensure a smooth visit. And even put on his favorite show. - Amazing and would recommend!
Jean Culbertson
Crisp clean office, kid friendly decor, amazing staffs, and thoroughly caring and knowledgeable doctor- I am very lucky to have found this gem in Poway and cannot recommend this place enough! All my three children goes to this dentistry. 5+ stars, no doubt ?
Krystal Nguyen
my 2 years old's always happy to go back to see Dr. Wendy and leave with a bright smile.
Li Vicky
Wendy and Maria are super nice. The environment is nice and clean with very cute decorations. We had great experience. Both me and my LO love it! Already recommended to several of my friends.
Yvonne Wright
Bringing my autistic son to the dentist for the first time was an anxiety filled event and the people and the process at Sprouting Smiles made everything as smooth and painless as possible. Starting at the intake phone call (asking about my sons sensitivities) and the forms (where they ask his interests and favorite colors) and upon arrival, changing the tv show to something to help him feel comfortable. Every action took my son's needs in to account and he left smiling and happy. It was such a great experience to feel like the staff not only heard my concerns but really listened to where they stemmed from and were able and willing to ease my worries while also being accommodating to my son. I cannot recommend them enough, even driving the 40 minutes from Chula Vista was more—way more—than worth it!
M Rosales
They were very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a dentist for their child!
Katie Fuller
Dr. Wendy and her staff were wonderful! My girls (3.5 yrs and 21 months) both had full exams and cleanings. Dr. Wendy and staff were talkative, friendly and engaging with the kids. The office was clean and super cute for kids. 10/10 recommend!
Megan Chatman
Dr. Wendy was so kind and really made my son feel comfortable. The staff made us feel welcome and took great care of us!
Jewels Mejia
I was hesitant to take my son back to a dentist after our first experience. But everyone at Sprouting Smile was so nice and welcoming. The appt went amazing and the entire office is so nice and clean.
Tammy Miller
We couldn’t have asked for a better first visit with the dentist! All were kind and very good with kids. My 23 month old daughter had a great time (other than the minutes spent during the cleaning). She was able to watch a favorite video, hold a stuffie, get a sticker and a balloon and wander around the place checking things out. I was referred to this office by a friend and now I know why. Thank you!
Vanessa Vegas
Super friendly staff ! And very considerate of your time, they work quickly and efficiently.
Lara Reyes
Extremely professional and friendly staff and who treated my baby girl with great care!
Iris Yang
Dr Wendy is the best Dentist I have met. She explained everything clearly and was so patient with my kids. The nurse and front desk lady are super friendly. Strongly recommend!
Ladyruti
Dr Wendy and the team are the best! I have very bad memories from my childhood and was trying to do all that is possible to change this for my children. Finding Dr Wendy was the best I could do to make my children happy every time we need an appointment. My son doesn’t want to wash his teeth because he wants to have cavity and have more frequent visits ? Fantastic approach to children, they get all the attention and feel special when visiting Sprouting Smiles. I couldn’t imagine a better treatment!
Wissam Alfuraiji
My daughter’s first visit to Dr. Wendy’s office wasn’t for a regular check up and teeth cleaning, it was an urgent visit to save deeply decayed tooth. Dr. Wendy and her assistant Jessica took warm care of my daughter and made her feels comfortable and ready for the procedure and all done perfectly! Good job Mimi for the great help in front too! I highly recommend this office to any parents who are looking for a good dentist for their kids!!
Anh Cox
Staff and Dr. Yang are very friendly and welcoming. My son enjoyed his visit and can't wait until his next cleaning. The office is clean and spacious. Dr. Yang explained everything to my son and it made him feel comfortable. Highly recommend this pediatric dentist office. Update: My 2 year old had a great experience for her 1st cleaning. She was nervous but Dr. Yang was very kind and patient. Both my kids are excited for their next visit.
Shalan Rasquinha
Dr. Wendy is amazing! I moved from Massachusetts and was in search of a dentist for my kids. I came across sprouting smiles pediatric dentistry while browsing the moms page on FB and I am so glad I made the appointment. It was my youngest’s first appointment and Dr. Wendy handled him so well. She is thoughtful and will let you know how we are doing and what steps can be taken to maintain that beautiful smile :) her staff is amazing, my oldest kids enjoyed their experience and are looking to go back for their follow-ups :). The place is kid friendly, I can’t say enough about Dr. Wendy and her amazing staff. Make the appointment and your kids will thank you :)
Lois Seo
I took my 2 young kiddos there and they loved their experience. The office staff were welcoming, the office clean and decor warm and inviting and perfect for children. Dr. Wendy was very warm, knowledgeable and thorough, catching things that wasn't noted at our prior dentist. She spent lots of time to explain things to the children and myself to ensure healthy smiles. We enjoyed our first visit and highly recommend Dr. Wendy
Jackie Banda
We love spouting smiles, Dr Wendy and the whole team!! We can’t say enough great things about Our whole experience. Our toddler went for his first visit and the entire team made us feel so welcome. He made himself right at home with cocomelon on the TV in the lobby and in the chair (on the walk AND above in the ceiling!). Every detail of the office and the expletive were so well thought through. We had a practice dinosaur and gave our son his own tools to play with and get familiar with before we did his cleaning. Talked to him about what they were going to do and how it would happen. Made my son feel so confident and he let the cleaning happen for longer than I expected which was pretty impressive for his very first visit. The whole place is so kid friendly. All cabinets and counters are rounded edges. My son bounced around and loved exploring the animals on the walls. He really gave the office his full toddler test, jumping and pushing things around. But everyone was so kind and patient. We will be with sprouting smiles for life!!! Thank you!!
Adriana Marquez
I brought my 3 year old here for his first ever dentist appointment and Dr. Wendy & her staff were amazing. My toddler was obviously very anxious about his checkup, but they were all so quick to make him feel comfortable about his cleaning. Jessica was king enough to let him brush the teeth of a dinosaur and Dr. Wendy got down to his level to show him all the tools she would use on him and what each of them were for. It took some convincing but he finally sat on the chair for his checkup and cleaning. In the end he walked out with a sparkling set of teeth, a tooth friendly goodie bag, and a balloon. He felt so comfortable he kept asking when we would return, so we can’t wait to come back in 6 months for his next appointment.
Crystal Clayburn
I went into the appointment with my two autistic boys scared out of my mind that this was going to go south really fast and that we most likely will be leaving without actually getting the exam done. First let me say that when we walked in I was so impressed with the ambiance. They had dimmed the lights and they even had my boys favorite cartoon on the TV ready to go. That already put my nerves at ease. Registration was a breeze. We proceeded back to the exam area where again I was impressed. They not only had puppy dog pals on the TV on the wall but they had it on the ceiling as well. Dr. Wendy was so kind, caring and understanding of my boys. She even sang to them as she cleaned their teeth. To my amazement booth exams were done and the absolute relief I felt I have no words for. Not only that but Dr Wendy even found that my youngest (almost 3) had a tongue and lip tie. I couldn't believe it. So needless to say we are definitely taking the boys here from now on. It was totally worth the 20 mile drive and paying out of pocket. The team there is amazing and I'm just so grateful to have found them on the web. I highly recommend to any parent; especially a parent of a special needs child. Your child is in good hands at Sprouting Smiles!
Victoria Brasington
10/10 recommend Dr. Wendy + staff at Sprouting Smiles! My autistic child has never had a positive dentist visit prior to coming to Dr. Wendy! I couldn’t recommend this office enough!!!! Thank you for such great work!
Jennifer Bartels
Dr. Wendy and her staff were incredible! I took my daughter here for her first dental visit and they were extremely patient with her as she was definitely confused and nervous. The hygienists took their time and cleaned her teeth at her pace. We didn’t feel rushed at all. Dr. Wendy provided so many helpful tips, tricks, and advice on toddler home dental care. She is extremely friendly, relatable and has a warm personality which made the experience comfortable for me as a parent. On top of all of this, the facility is extremely clean! I’m excited to continue regular visits with Dr. Wendy and staff at Sprouting Smiles!
Lina M. Silva
Love, love, love this Dentist! Every experience is pleasant and my daughter really enjoys her visits.
Tori Newell
It was my sons 1st dentist appointment and they were AMAZING!! Very patient and everyone was really nice. Definitely recommend coming here.
J C
Dr. Wendy is so great with our daughter she has zero fear of going to the dentist and she has had a lot of visits already. She really is great with kids and parents and is very knowledgeable in her field and explains things well. Her staff Is also very nice and helpful. Highly recommend for your kids.
Leslie Perea
I encourage anyone in need of a good pediatric dentist to give this practice a try. The facility is clean, the doctor and staff are friendly and above all, highly competent. I had many questions for the doctor who had knowledgeable responses. She's up to date with the newest medical research. Finally, she encouraged me to seek medical advice from an ENT in conjunction with hers instead of trying to sell her services to me. This is refreshing when so many private practice doctors out there focus more on billing for services than actual patient outcomes. Finally, my daughter is a toddler and was handled with care despite her apprehension with strangers. They made her feel at ease and walked out very happy at the end of her visit.
Amanda Holloway
Sprouting Smiles is the place to go for pediatric dentistry! The office is clean, bright, and beautiful and the front desk staff is always friendly and helpful, both in person and over the phone. Dr. Wendy and her staff are kind and accommodating in adapting their approaches to the needs of each child. It’s amazing to watch Dr. Wendy break out her “tricks” to help little ones feel calm about the dental experience. She thoroughly explains all of the equipment and procedures to the kids before beginning and was able to further ease my two-year-old’s anxiety by singing to her. I appreciate Dr. Wendy’s willingness to explain and discuss treatments and her team’s use of evidence-based approaches. My kids are excited by the pleasant experience and awesome treats at the end of each visit, and I couldn’t be happier to give them such a wonderful introduction to dental care via Sprouting Smiles!
Sarah Webre
Wonderful first experience. My daughter is almost two and is a wiggle worm. She did not want to sit in the chair and they offer other options that allowed for the exam and cleaning to go well. The staff was kind, friendly, and patient. The atmosphere was clean and inviting. We are glad we chose Sprouting Smiles. We will be back in six months.
S Singh
My kids had their first visit with Sprouting Smiles today and I was so impressed by how kind, patient and thorough the staff there was. My son has Autism and ADHD, and they were wonderful with him. He was able to have his teeth cleaned and x-rays without any problems. They showed my kids the tools they would be using, explained what they do and even let them feel them so they knew what to expect. The office is really cute and the TV's on the wall during the exam helped with distracting my little ones so they could get a cleaning without any issues.
Anh Dung Le
Dr. Wendy and her staff are amazing. They are genuinely care about their patients. Dr. Wendy took time to answer all our questions and concerns. We loves the friendly and enjoyable environment in the office. I will definitely recommend Dr. Wendy for your children’s beautiful smiles.
Christina Cowan
Thank-you for giving my daughter a great dental experience. This place is very child friendly and fun. They are very accommodating, kind, and patient. I have a 3 year old toddler and they are so good with her. She started going there a year ago. The staff is sweet and the facility is very clean. I highly recommend this place.
Faiz Hyder
The dentist was great. She made the visit very comfortable and fun for the kids. The kids were having a great time. The dentist also answered all my questions at the end. Very knowledgeable and thorough. The front desk staff were great as well. Will definitely bring my kids here again. Allready scheduled my kids next 6 month cleaning.
Yan Zhou (Amber)
Dr. Wendy and her staffs are very friendly and professional. My son didn't cry for the whole visit.
Lauren Jensen
Took my 3 year old son and 1 year old daughter today. The staff were so welcoming, knowledgeable, prepared and made my kids feel so comforted to be there. Not to mention my kids were so excited about the goodie bags afterwards! Can’t wait to bring them back again soon:)
Megan Tracey
We had a great experience at this very clean and bright dentist office. The Dentist and her staff were extremely calm and gentle and knew exactly how to work with my young children. Great experience overall.
Jan Cehl Burke
My son is not very comfortable at the dentist! Upon coming here he felt calm and ready! Everyone was very friendly and I was well informed on decisions to make and everything was laid out for me! I know they were short staffed when we went, but I did have to wait about 30 mins before being seen. They were very nice though and tried their best to make us comfortable while we waited. Looking forward for my daughters first visit!

hi there! sorry again for the wait, we appreciate your time and your patience! thanks for being so understanding!

Karla Green
Always a great experience! Dr. Wendy and her team are so patient and loving towards my kiddos. All four of my children enjoy going for their check ups! Dr. Wendy is also very knowledgeable and informative of their oral health. I’m so glad they were recommended to me!
B guzman
Dr. Wendy and her entire staff are absolutely amazing. She truly cares and listens. The office is clean, bright and everyone there is very friendly. I love bringing my daughter here!
Shannon Wu
We recently switched to Sprouting Smiles and was immediately greeted by friendly staff upon arrival. The office is extremely clean and my kids loved the decor. My youngest (6yo) is usually difficult at the dentist, but she immediately eased up while we were there because the staff and Dr. Wendy were so warm and friendly! She is no longer afraid and is already looking forward to the next visit! I also really appreciate Dr. Wendy taking her time to show me where kids need extra flossing and explained things. Highly recommend this pediatric dentistry!
Melissa Fraser
We had the very best experience at Sprouting Smiles. Daisy and Dr. Wendy did an incredible job of connecting with my kids and explaining every step to make them feel more comfortable. My daughter was able to practice on her favorite stuffed bunny before her exam. Dr. Wendy and Daisy showed my daughter the tools they use, allowed her to feel first before using them on her, and helped educate her on the whole process. Dr. Wendy also thoroughly explained the results of the dental exams for both of my children, what to look for, and how to care for their dental hygiene. They do a tremendous job of personalizing the experience for each child, like playing their favorite show during the exam. I can’t thank everyone enough at Sprouting Smiles for giving my kids such a positive experience!
Mark Vitale
Very friendly staff. Clean atmosphere. The kids had a blast there. We were very impressed. I would strongly recommend!
Jeanny Weir
My three kids had a great experience with Dr. Wendy and Maria! Very fun, friendly & patient. All important things when working with kiddos. Great treatment plan. Covid protocols in place to make families feel safe. Definitely recommend!
Dan Nita
Dr. Wendy and her staff are the best! Before the appointment, they reached out to ask about my daughter's preferences to make her experience as pleasant as possible. Everyone was so kind and calm during our visit. Dr. Wendy was so patient explaining all the treatment options available. I am so happy that we found an amazing Pediatric Dentistry! Highly recommended!
Rachel Barfuss
I can’t say enough good things about this place. Everyone that was working were all so kind and caring! The dentist did so well handling my 2 year old and did even better explaining everything to my husband and I!
Mohnish Singh
So glad we found an awesome Pediatric Dentistry. Dr Wendy is extremely professional and made the whole experience very comfortable and got the job done effectively. In advance of the appointment, they reached out to ask about the kid’s likes and preferences to make the experience for the kid as homely and pleasant as possible. Highly recommended Pediatric Dentistry!
Sam An
We found Sprouting Smiles Pediatric Dentistry online as my regular dentist recommended I go see a pediatric dentist for my 3 year old who has 2 progressing cavities and he was not keen on getting them treated as you can imagine. It’s only been a single visit but we are very impressed so far with Dr.Yang and her office. They are relatively new to the area (~1 year from what I understand) but the facility is very modern and inviting and they seem to have the latest technology. They also have online documentation process that eliminates having to go in and fill out several pages while at the site. We can tell they value customer service highly as they asked about what my son likes in terms of shows characters, etc. I didn’t think anything of it but I noted that he likes Octonauts and they had it playing on the screen during the visit so it was easier to manage him as he was engrossed in the show. Also Dr. Yang was very thorough in her explanation to us about our treatment options, which we appreciated. We plan to using Sprouting Smiles for or some in the future.
Nima Sonti
My 3.5 year old visited for the first time and she absolutely loved it ! The staff and doctor are very friendly and patient ! My daughter was scared of dentist but after the visit she said dentist appointment is really fun , she had her favorite toys and was very happy to see her fav show on the tv overall it is a great experience!!
Corinna Soto
The experience was VERY educational for my husband & I as first time parents. Our 1 year old enjoyed the office, Doctor, and Staff. Everyone is very professional & kind. Office is incredibly clean and baby friendly. We are excited to have a place that our baby feels comfortable going for cleaning and checkups. BEST PART IS VERY 1ST APPOINTMENT IS FREE & PRICE IS INCREDIBLY REASONABLE. I highly recommend this place.
Stephanie Russom
Best dentist experience !! Took my daughter for her first ever appointment and everyone was so nice. They already had my daughter favorite show on when we arrived and they took their time getting to know my daughter so that she was not terrified by the experience. Definitely will recommend to everyone
Di Wu
Dr Yang is the best! She is so professional and really nice and thoughtful. She really cares what baby feels and very patient on all my questions. Strongly recommend Dr Yang! BTW she speaks Chinese and it really makes communication very easy. 杨医生可以讲中文哦!
Jenny Lam
Dr Wendy and her staff was super friendly and helped ease my son’s anxiety during his visits. Love that she is a one dentist office so we can build a strong relationship. We highly recommend this place!
Ann Marie Moeller
Dr. Wendy Yang and her office staff have been fabulous with my energetic three year old son both times we have been to the office. Before the first visit, we had completed an intake form with his health and interests, and he was mesmerized when they had Winnie the Pooh already queued up to play on the TV on the ceiling above the exam chair when we arrived. They are great with explaining each step to him in simple terms beforehand to put him at ease, Dr. Yang's exam was quick but thorough before he got too antsy, and then she always explains her findings and recommendations for home afterwards.
Abigail Flakes
My son has a fear of the dentist but he walked out saying “best dentist ever!” Friendly staff, calming office environment, dentist told him all about what she was doing and the balloon was a fitting send off at the end. I can’t recommend enough.
Aubree Caruana
Would highly, HIGHLY recommend Sprouting Smiles to all parents! My child's first experience at a dentist was a great one. All the staff were so attentive to my child and will definitely be coming back. Very great experience.
Joe Alioto
Dr Wendy and staff were fantastic. The office was very welcoming and my child really enjoyed their visit
Frances McIntyre
Dr. Wendy Yang and her staff are incredible! They made my little one feel at home and were so sweet to him during his treatment. Dr. Yang is just amazing with children and can make anyone feel at ease! She is great at keeping kids comfortable and explaining things to them in a way that they can understand. I definitely recommend Sprouting Smiles to anyone and am looking forward to interacting with Dr. Yang and her staff again! Thank you Sprouting Smiles!! P.S. The staff was all dressed up for Halloween and my child absolutely loved it! Thank you for making kids smile! ❤
Yan Helen Yan
Dr. Wendy did a fantastic job with my 22 month old son on his first complementary visit. Before that my son had been refusing to eat solid food for a week after a virus infection. But after the cleaning, he eats well immediately the very first dinner after that appointment!
Elle Beard
We went to Sprouting Smiles was my son’s first dentist appointment. The place was super inviting, decked out in exactly what James needed to be calm heading into it. The whole team made sure we both knew what to expect, and even though there were tears during the exam…James giggled the minute it was over. What a wonderful first trip to the dentist!
Ashley Switzer
My two-year-old son had a wonderful appointment. Despite those expected tears, he laid still for the appointment. I was shocked. The office is very comfortable and kid-friendly. They even played his favorite shows which were a great distraction. Plus, at the end, he got a balloon and a fun dental bag with watermelon floss. I highly recommend Sprouting Smiles. If they can clean my son's teeth, they can clean any child's.
Kimberly Dreison
Wonderful dental experience for my 6 year old. Office was very clean, no wait, and everyone was so kind, caring, friendly, and patient. I think my daughter is actually looking forward to her next visit (yay)!
Ali T
We are always so pleased and thankful with the pediatric dental care that Wendy Yang has provided to our daughter. She is genuine and honest with what work is necessary, as well as a very personable and professional dentist. We feel very confident that the appropriate dental care is given, and she works wonderfully with children who may have some anxiety with dental work. Thank you!
Brenda Jordan
I took my 14 month old for a check and it was a pleasant and wonderful experience. Clean facility, friendly, and Dr. Wendy and her staff listened and addressed my concerns. I rarely write reviews, but I felt this place really deserved a review for their service. We will definitely be back!
Jennifer Cheng
My son is prone to plaque and tartar. After a year of no teeth cleaning (due to Covid), you can imagine the build up he had accumulated. Dr Yang took extra time to clean up every build up she can see. Other dentists before her had asked us to schedule additional appointments to have him return another day, which means, additional payments out of pocket. Dr Yang is the most patient and gentle dentist that my kids and I have ever met.
Marta Nieto
I’ve never seen a dentist singing so many songs while working! Dr. Wendy and her nurse were fabulous from the very beginning, she definitely conquer my heart by speaking perfect Spanish. It was my son’s first dentist appointment and she explained super patiently all the tools that she was going to use. It surprised me because I didn’t think he was going to pay attention. She has that tone and that personality that kids just listen to her. She was calm herself which was great to remain calm myself to be there to support my son. We’re coming back in 6 months for another check up and more balloons!
Cheryl Guerrero
Dr. Wendy is a wonderful, caring person and exceptional pediatric dentist. My daughter always has a great experience. You will be in excellent hands at Sprouting Smiles, I highly recommend them!
Liz C
Both of my kids visited Dr. Wendy for the first time and we all loved her! It was a great experience all around. She is super friendly, patient, and fun! She explained everything to my kids before she did it. This was especially helpful for my nervous 5 year old and 3 year old. Her assistant was just as kind and helpful. The kids enjoyed their new toothbrushes with their favorite characters, their toys, and balloons! They can’t wait to go back. I highly recommend Sprouting Smiles for your children!
Casey Nguyen
I was so nervous to bring my 2.5 year old son to the dentist and had been putting it off for awhile. I was worried how he would react and if he would cooperate. I’m happy to report he did fantastic. Dr. Yang is amazing at what she does. She has a calm demeanor and engaged with him so well. She made the experience pleasant for both of us explaining everything she did and even integrated his toys to help explain what was going to happen. I highly recommend this office. We will be bringing our daughters here as well!!!!
Tara R
I'm so happy that I found this pediatric dentistry practice. Dr. Wendy is the most friendly and caring dentist. She is very personable, explains the treatment well, and remains patient even in the face of a crying baby. I never feel rushed and you can tell she is invested in her patient's care and willing to answer any questions. Maria is helpful as the dental assistant and welcoming when we arrive every time. The facility is clean and modern. I appreciate the referral offer they have as well as the responsiveness to any calls and appointment requests. We highly recommend trying this office out for your little ones!
Victoria Thatte
Dr. Wendy is definitely my child's dentist from here on out. We had a wonderful first visit--she let my toddler take her time to get comfortable, showed her all her tools before letting my girl get herself settled in the chair, and was extremely patient when my girl got a bit wiggly during the brushing. She also gave me tons of ideas for weaning off pacifiers and making brushing more fun. And the balloon at the end was icing on the cake. I asked my daughter later, and she said going to the dentist was really fun ?
Hector P
Dr. Wendy is very professional. During my visit with my two-year-old son for his cleaning, everything went very well. The office is clean and child-friendly. My son wasn't nervous or crying because the doctor speaks Spanish and took the time to show him and explain the tools. He also enjoyed the chocolate-flavored toothpaste they used during his cleaning and left happy and without crying. Dr. Wendy and her assistants do an excellent job.
Brooke Hanks
Took my 5 year old and 3 year old here and they had a great time. Dr. Yang was really good at making the kids feel comfortable and taking time to ease them into the cleaning. The visit was quick and thorough. We look forward to returning again!
Elizabeth Townend
Everyone is friendly and professional! Dr Wendy helped my daughter understand the importance of prevention through proper maintenance. I'd definitely recommend her office.
Mailie Fanning
Deciding on Dr. Wendy for our son's first dentist appointment was a great decision! She was kind, knowledgeable and so patient with him. Her office is fun, bright and clean and scheduling the appointment was quick and easy. They made sure my son had a great experience and he told us he can't wait to go back! Thank you!
Erin Levy
Dr. Wendy is so great! I was a bit nervous about my 2 year old’s first teeth cleaning and real dentist visit, so we read a lot of books and talked a lot about what he could expect. Dr. Wendy took so many thoughtful steps to make him feel comfortable, and took far more time than I had expected to ensure he was at ease. Nothing about the visit felt rushed, and her demeanor was so warm and friendly with him! She explained everything to him before doing it, let him touch and explore all her tools, and had a lot of cute little ways to have him keep his mouth open and cooperate with the cleaning. I thought for sure my little guy would fight her and cry, but he was calm and interested during the whole procedure, and kept taking about Dr. Wendy for the rest of the day! Dr. Wendy was also incredibly thorough. I had mentioned that son had a small chip in his front tooth from a fall, so she examined that carefully and noticed that it was a bit loose. She did an x-ray to ensure there was no damage that we couldn’t see, and put together a plan to monitor it, without trying to up-sell me on any services (like many dentists do). All in all, she’s great! She doesn’t take our insurance, but we’re going to just pay out of pocket for our child to see her; that’s how much we like her!
Sarah Brand (ShepBrand Family)
Amazing with my 2 year old daughter on her first ever dentist visit. They took their time, were patient and thorough. As a mom/parent, I was impressed and highly recommend.
Lisa Rhea
We had a wonderful experience at Sprouting Smiles! My kids loved Dr. Wendy and loved her laid back approach. She was kind, playful, thorough and understanding of my antsy boys. The facilities are so clean and thoughtfully designed. We are happy to have found our new dental office!
Thanh Nguyen
Dr. Wendy and Maria are amazing!!! My 7yo and 9yo were very happy and having fun the entire time they were there. Dr. Wendy was playful but professional. She addressed the problem areas and suggested a fair treatment plan. No rush, no pressure. We are so glad for a friendly and experienced dentist so close to us in Sabre Springs/Los Penasquitos. Thank you for such a great experience.
Amanda Zimmerman
Highly highly recommend! Dr. Yang was wonderful with my son for his first ever dentist visit. She explained what was going to happen both to him and me and ensured he was comfortable throughout the entire visit—even singing to him. She went at his pace, made it fun and was extremely gentle. She and her team educated me on his oral health and what to keep an eye out for helping me feel confident in my son’s dental health. The office was pristine, spacious and extremely kid friendly! I was very nervous going into this as I’ve had painful adult dental care before and wanted my son’s experience to be positive. Our visit with Dr. Yang exceed expectations and I’m so grateful for their care!
stefunny49
My kiddo loves coming to visit Dr. Wendy and her team. They are all so gentle and kind and we appreciate how patient they are. Going to the dentist isn’t always my kiddos first choice but they always leave with a smile.
Anna Johnson
Dr. Wendy Yang and her staff are the best! Dr. Wendy was very patient, kind, and gentle with my kiddos. I was so anxious when my son had to get a few cavities filled. I think I was more anxious than my son. She did a phenomenal job at treating his teeth, while still making him feel comfortable in her chair. We've gone several times to treat his teeth, and my son didn't even cry during the treatment; Dr. Wendy is that good. Honestly, I was amazed. Do yourself a favor and book with Dr. Wendy and her team if your kids need a phenomenal dentist. High recommend!!
Miriam Leaman
I had the absolute best experience with Dr Wendy! I never thought i could say taking my 4.5 yr old to the dentist was fun, but me and my son had the best time! Dr. Wendy and her staff are so warm and welcoming and immediately my son comfortable and at ease ( he was sooo nervous and scared in the car ride over). I feel so lucky that we found this place and would give it 6 stars if i could!!
Miho Burfield
It was my daughter's very first dentist appointment but Dr. Wendy and the nurse were very nice and friendly, so that helped my daughter to stay calm. She was not scared at all though out the visit. Dr. Wendy told us what to do to keep my daughter's teeth healthy, and what to expect for her particular age. Brand new office, very clean and bright. I am glad we have such a nice dental clinic nearby!
Jack Khavinson
I took my son for his two year checkup. He was pretty nervous about going to the dentist but Dr. Yang and her amazing staff really put him at ease. Plus, I felt comfortable knowing we were the only appointment in the office during covid. They even had his favorite movie playing which was a huge bonus (they emailed to ask about favorite characters before we showed up). The best part for me was hearing how we were doing and learning how we can improve his dental hygiene. We found out Dr. Wang has a special friendship with the pacifier fairy so now we can finally give those pacifiers a new home!
Brittany Kinsler
Dr. Wang made my daughter's first trip to the dentist a pleasant experience.
Marina Kfouri
Dr Wendy and her staff were amazing with my kids (3y and 5.5y). They were attentive, caring and engaging. It’s a brand-new and spacious office. We could not have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend Sprouting Smiles Pediatric Dentist!

We absolutely adore Dr. Wendy Yang! We moved near the area a few months ago and we are so glad we found this dental office for our kids. If you are worried about covid, Dr. Yang takes extra precautions to ensure that everyone is healthy and safe. The office is so clean and organized. It was a very personalized appointment since our family where the only ones in the office. My 2yr son was due for his regular dental cleaning. I was really worried that he would be a crazy one to work on. Dr. Yang was so patient with working with him. She was really thorough about her cleaning. She educated my husband and I on how to make teeth brushing a fun routine. When my son was done, she offered to do my 10months old daughter’s teeth for free! My daughter has her 2 bottom teeth in and again Dr. Yang knew exactly how to make her first experience enjoyable. When they were done she gave them their new tooth brush, floss, tooth paste and a goodie bag of stickers and toys. Now my son can’t stop about his teeth. We are definitely gonna make this our kids regular dental office.

All the staff are super kind and patient with the kids. My daughter who is 2 visited here for her first trip to the dentist. She is pretty strong willed and they handled her amazingly. The facility is super clean, very warm and inviting for the children. We had an amazing experience. I highly recommend Sprouting Smiles :)
