Services
Dr. Sherman finds dentistry a wonderful career. She enjoys her staff, patients, and all the procedures she does each day. However, she takes pride in her work the most by being able to help those who are not fortunate enough to have dental care.
As there are many countries and communities in the world who are not able to have even the most basic care to prevent pain and subsequently tooth loss, participating in Global Dental Relief is very rewarding.Dr. Sherman, her husband, and her daughter have traveled to Africa and Asia to help treat children in very poor communities.

Whether your dental needs are a complete exam and cleaning, a full-mouth restoration, or anything in between, Dr. Sherman and her team promise to provide you with exceptional care as we enhance the natural beauty of your smile. Below are just some of the many procedures and services our Encinitas dentist regularly provides to patients - with a gentle touch, and stunning results.
The best defense against bacteria for your smile is consistent oral hygiene care. Whether at home or in our dental office in Encinitas, keeping your teeth clean is as easy as a few minutes of your time. Each time you visit us, we take x-ray scans of your jaw to assess the condition of your teeth. With x-ray scans we can see the underlying jawbone, connective nerves, and any internal damage to your teeth.
Dental radiographs (x-rays) are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Our Encinitas dentist and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan.
Dental exams and cleanings not only keep your smile bright, but they can also help you look and feel healthier. By sticking to regularly scheduled dental exams with Dr. Sherman, you'll find yourself looking and feeling stronger about your smile. X-Ray Scans: Not all oral health problems can be seen on the surface.

Never ventured on down to Diane Sherman's tooth emporium, but I did get an unsolicited piece of mail on middle-grade letterhead after recently setting foot into our town's finest trailer community. SPAM like this gets my goat, which ain't easily got, what with the few trees left on this plantation we call home.

I have been looking for a quality dentist in the greater San Diego area for years and finally found one in Dr. Diane Sherman, Amie and the rest of the team. They are AMAZING!!!
I cracked my crown during covid and needed more than a cleaning. While getting the crown fixed, I figured it was also a good time to take care of some other issues that I had been putting off until I found someone I could trust. I asked my best friend and consigliere if he had a recommendation. "Dr. Sherman is the best. Complete trust." After my visits I wholeheartedly agree.
The covid protocols were excellent

I have been a patient of Dr. Sherman's for many years. I always enjoy my visits to Dr. Sherman's office for dental appointments. The staff is always positive and helpful. There's almost no wait time. And the hygienists are incredibly competent. I feel better after I leave than I felt when I went in.

I've been with these guys for my entire life (26 years) and I love them. Their service is five-star and their whole staff are gems. They are worth staying with for life because your teeth are with you for life. They always make sure you are comfortable!
Best dental hygienists ever! Diane is a master at her craft.

During the fifteen years that I have been a patient of Dr. Sherman, she has carried out procedures ranging from simple fillings to complicated root canals and bridge preparations. In each case, these were done with extraordinary skill and great concern for my comfort. Moreover, her support staff, the receptionists and assistants know who I am and take care of my concerns both warmly and efficiently.
She is, quite simply, my idea of what a great dentist should be.

I've been a patient of Dr. Sherman - a consummate professional - and her dental hygienists since 1996. My teeth and gums are in great shape, thanks to their care, and the office is up-to-date (text message appointment reminders), efficient, and friendly. I do not have dental insurance, so price is important to me. Their rates are fair and flexible for more costly procedures. I can highly recommend Dr. Sherman and her team!

Nothing but great things to say about Diane! Her staff is incredibly nice and the office is very clean and organized. The cleanings are always efficient and I look like I've had my teeth whitened when I leave. Diane, is very knowledgable and puts you at ease with whatever she is doing. I would recommend this dentists to anyone at any age.

Dr Diane is amazing!!! Why? Thanks for asking. Dr. Diane has a really great bedside manner, in other words, she is very nuturing. Example,m she is very communicative in a way that patients appreciate, she discusses what she is going to do and checks to make sure you are in comfort. Dr Diane eliminates the stress by providing a calm demeanor, lots of listening (needs assessment) and delivers the appropriate type of care. She does not sell. I love this aspect. Her office staff is excellent including billing.
Judee is a delight and will make you feel at home when you arrive. I would definitely recommend

How many times do you go to the Dentist and feel like you only spent a minute with the doctor? For me, until now, this has always been my case. I truly felt like Dr Sherman spent appropriate time to explain my dental health. I have been avoiding my wisdom tooth removal, but Dr Sherman explained, very nicely, the importance of why. She also did a test on my gum health, which I do not recall every having before. She also explained that the Xrays I had at another office were for check ups and not for dental records.
The staff are very friendly. Everyone wore scrubs with their name embroidered

I've been going to this dentist office for at least 10 years. Here's some pros and cons:
PROS:
- early appointments (7am)
- optional topical analgesic (some numbing gel) if you don't like the pain of the metal plaque-removing tool or the floss work
- pretty saltwater fish tank
- several chairs for kids to sit in and wait
- free toothbrush and floss with every cleaning visit
- gentle and quick x-rays
- they offer the "tray" teeth whitening service
- sweet hygienists that do a really good job cleaning
CONS:
- canceled or missed appointment will cost you money
- no late
