Our primary goal is to provide exceptional customer service. Dr. Sanjay Kuruvadi and his excellent staff focus on building relationships with patients and are always willing to go the extra mile to meet patient needs. Our office staff is friendly and offers exceptional customer service. We are patient orientated and look forward to every smile that becomes part of the tapestry of our lives through superior quality orthodontic treatments and care.

In summary here are few reasons to get started your treatment with Dr. Kuruvadi and Associates:

1. Dr. Kuruvadi graduated from Dental School at age 21, and became an Orthodontist at the age of 23 and graduated in 1995 from the Orthodontic Residency making him the "Youngest Orthodontist" in the country to ever graduate at that age. Dr. Kuruvadi was first place in his class all throughout his schooling years, earning the highest honors in Dental and Orthodontic Societies.
2. We take most insurance plans and open two Saturdays out of the month from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, so kids do not have to miss school and parents do not have to miss work. Most of the Orthodontists in the area do not work on Saturdays!
3. Dr. Kuruvadi himself is very fluent in Spanish so Hispanic parents can directly ask questions/concerns to him and not his assistants.
4. Most of the Dentists, Doctors, Attorneys, Engineers, elite professionals, etc. in the area come themselves or bring their own kids to get Orthodontic treatment with Dr. Kuruvadi. Due to Dr.Kuruvadi’s excellent reputation in the San Diego Area, most of the Dentists prefer to refer their own patients to Dr. Kuruvadi.
5. Dr. Kuruvadi has been practicing Orthodontics in the San Diego Area for 16+ years and he treats very severe cases of skeletal malocclusion (“severely bad bites”) like for example cases of Cleft palate, skeletal openbites, skeletal overbites/underbites, etc. and works in coordination with other Maxillo-facial Surgeons. Dr. Kuruvadi has treated so far more than 10,000+ cases of Orthodontics!!!
6. Our office is extremely reasonable and flexible in workin-out payment plans, so anybody can afford to get Orthodontic Treatment with $300 to $500 down payments or no down-payments with people with good credit.
7. We offer metal, clear, color, gold plated, “Invisalign” braces; Dr. Kuruvadi’s objective is to make the Orthodontic experience the most fun as possible, so kids are motivated and happy in cooperating with the treatment. (Recently, we have added the new braces system, which come in the shape of hearts, flowers or stars for the patients who ask for them!)

OUR GUARANTEE: IF YOU FIND ANY BETTER DEAL WITH OTHER PRIVATE ORTHODONTISTS (NOT HMO COMPANIES LIKE WESTERN DENTAL, SMILECARE, ETC.) WE CAN MEET THEIR PRICE.

Our Analogy: If somebody needed a Major surgery in your family, would you go with the best Surgeon in the City or with the cheapest? Your Hollywood Smile constructed by Dr. Kuruvadi will be seen and appreciated by you and other people, all your life. So, go with the Best Orthodontist!!

Our office is designed to offer you all the comfort of your home. We want you to be comfortable in this environment and to even look forward to your appointments. To spice things up, we have our own “Wheel of Fortune.” Everyone gets a prize, and we do have a jackpot, which has been a bicycle in the past. We also hold raffles for prizes like iPads, and if chance isn’t your thing, we also reward patients for keeping good oral hygiene, making appointments consecutively, and following doctor’s instructions for treatments.

We value your time. We schedule your appointments so that you can see us without sacrificing your life outside our office. Early morning appointments before school and work hours are available. Also, we open our doors two Saturdays every month. Finally, your first consultation is on us, because we value your time. We invite parents and patients new to our practice to explore all treatment options offered here.

Wide Variety of Treatments

Dr. Kuruvadi has extensive training and experience with braces and other appliances. While many offices are familiar with the standard metal variety of braces, we are competent and able to provide ceramic braces and even invisible aligners that are far less noticeable.

Furthermore, in our office, we are interested in how our treatment can make a difference in your life. We personalize all treatments so that you get what you need. We also take time to explain to all the reasons, pros, and cons. We always recommend what we believe to be best, and we wait on proceeding with treatments until we are certain that you are as confident going forward as we are.
