Services
We truly enjoy our work and are continuously accepting new patients. We always look for new ways to meet your dental needs to ensure that you leave our office completely satisfied. Dr. Leads is a San Marcos CA dentist who provides an excellent dental experience and looks forward to welcoming you on your next visit.
Coffee, cigarettes and other factors can stain your teeth, making you hide your smile and avoid appearing in photos. Take a look at how Dr. Leads' teeth whitening treatments can improve your appearance and help you enjoy a whiter, brighter smile. An infection in the root canal of a tooth can cause many problems that can quickly spread throughout the face and body.
San Marcos CA dentist Dr. Leads is proud to offer his patients a mercury-free dental practice. Those silver fillings you have are called mercury or amalgam filllings, made up of a mixture of silver, copper, tin and mercury. A large percentage of the population today still has silver/mercury fillings in their mouth from years and years ago.
Time can be harsh to all of us, and over time coffee, cigarettes, medication, aging and other factors can cause your teeth to become discolored. This can make you self conscious of appearing in portraits or attending a high school reunion. Dr. Leads is a San Marcos CA dentist whose office has the key to getting those pearly yellows back to pearly whites, having you smile from ear to ear in no time.

My husband and I have been a patient of Dr. Leads for over 20 years. We live in Murrieta and travel to San Marcos for our dental needs. We do this because Dr. Leads is by far the most committed dental practice we have ever experienced. His quality of work is excellent and he takes a genuine interest in his patients, making them feel at ease and truly cared for.

He goes above and beyond to make sure your dental needs are met. He has a wonderful friendly staff that also treats patients in the same professional way! I would highly recommend Dr. Leads.

I went yesterday for zoom whitening and my teeth look absolutely amazing they look so white! I have so much more confidence talking to people. And it was such a self esteem booster. I keep looking at them I love it so much!

The best dentistry for anything. My whole family goes here and we all love it. This place is very homey, everyone is amazing and nice, and you get treated like family. They are pros at everything such as easy cleanings, painless cavity fillings, and very quick and easy Wisdom teeth extractions. I recommend them to anybody who asks and I will continue to go here for many many years!

At 85 year's young I have been to a few dentist and I am here to tell anyone DR. LEADS is the best I have ever had the pleasure of going to. I referred to him as a magician. Great job. Thank you.

I am a new patient, just moved to San Marcos and my first visit was great (and keep in mind I'm talking about going to the dentist!). The staff are friendly and everyone truly cares about you as a patient. The hygienist was skilled and gentle. Dr. Leads is a very cool guy, friendly and explains everything going on with your teeth and overall oral health.

He is an experienced dentist with a gentle hand and I'm glad I picked him. What I love about being a patient there is they don't judge you for not being a dedicated flosser (guilty). Or loving to drink coffee and red wine LOL. Seriously, I would highly recommend Dr. Leads and his wonderful team! I'm loving my smile :-)

LOVE this guy! Extracted all 4 of my daughter's wisdom teeth, two of which were horizontal and impacted, and he was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend Dr. Leads! Seriously, I can't say enough about him to do proper justice.

I've been a patient for Dr. Leads for five years and I've always been treated well. His recommendations for treatment are top notch. He's never tried to sell any product or service that wasn't directly related to my dental health (unlike the dental provider I had before him). I have to pay extra to see Dr. Leads because my dental HMO won't cover him, but it's worth every cent. More than once, I've needed to come in on short notice due to a teeth issues and his staff made room for me.

I've been going here for 20 years. He's like family to us. I've never seen another dentist and I can't wait for my daughter to see him.

Dr Leads had been our dentist for 15 years. He has performed considerable work on my husbands teeth and deep cleanings for my teeth. He is honest, gentle, informative and efficient. His office staff is exceptional! I would highly recommend him for any dental needs.

This is my third year going to Dr. Randall and very satisfied with his work and customer service. For yrs. I was looking for a place like this.trustworthy, affordable and efficient. Dr. Randall has gently worked on three root canals, cavities and replaced all my old silver fillings with porcelain ones. I have healthier teeth because of him! Finally, I just appreciate the passion he has for his profession, how knowledgeable he is, and how he is so loving with his patients. I'm so proud to call him my dentist!

Dr. Leads and his staff are very welcoming. I was referred to him by 1-800 dentists when I moved to San Marcos a couple of years ago. I even got my boyfriend to check out his office and now he's a permanent patient as well. Dr. Leads and his staff always make sure you're comfortable and relaxed.

Dr. Leads is fantastic! He is so kind and gentle. He always wants to make sure his patients are comfortable. He's up on all the latest technology too. I wouldn't go to anyone else!

I believe a good number of the 5 star reviews are made by office personnel or family members. Dr. Leads worked on my uncle and butchered his teeth. He developed extreme pain after work done by Dr. Leads. 3 of the teeth worked on by Dr. Leads ended up needing to be pulled out.

I called Dr Leads office requesting information on his qualifications for oral surgery and her didn't have any and hung up the phone on me. He said now you're really making me mad.

Dr. Leads is a terrific dentist. He's smart, he cares, he's gentle and kind. Always a relaxing atmosphere when visiting his office. Misty's a huge asset to his practice. She's always there to help in the most efficient and kind manner. Look no further. Would give 6 stars if it were possible.

Finding a dentist I'm comfortable with has been a life-long challenge because I am very dental phobic. Dr Leads is the first dentist I've been to in 18 years that has helped me feel the most comfortable and the least fearful. Since I had postponed going for many years, I've had several visits in the past six months and he has helped so much to ease my anxiety. He performed a root canal this morning and I feel great! His staff is excellent as well.

Dr Leads is awesome, very calming as I'm a real chicken. Misty who has been there forever or since I've been going to them and she is on top of all insurance benefits. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

I've been a patient of Dr. Leads for about 10 years. As the son of a Dentist who practiced quality dentistry, I can tell the good offices from the bad ones, and it took me a few visits to other dentists to eventually find Dr. Leads. I've never had the impression that the office pushes treatment that isn't needed like many other practices do. Misty, the office manager, has been there as long as I've been a patient, which says something about the stability of the office, and she does a great job with insurance, questions and scheduling. I've recommended Dr. Leads office to many friends, family members and coworkers, and so far all the people I've sent their way have been very happy patients.

Dr leads is my go to guy, I used to hate the dentist before I went here.almost everything is in house, found him initially because he was an oral surgeon, and I needed impacted wisdom teeth pulled, went back later for a couple cavity fixes, in the 5 years of visits I've never had anything other than amazing visits. Had a pain free root canal, which I'm told is extremely painful.

This place is honest and fair, and very open, my first few visits I didn't have insurance, and they helped me out as much a they could.once I got it I made sure I could go to him. I've since recommended everyone I know to go there, and they've all had the same experience. Even misty, their phone answering, appt taking, file pulling, fb managing multi tasker is great to deal with, super friendly and even reminded me, by phone, not just email, or mailer, of my upcoming appts or checkups. There's no other dentist that's ever compared to the experience and gentleness I've received there.

"Is that it, your done" That's what I said after Dr Leads injected me and gave me a temporary crown. I also asked the same thing when he took off my crown. No injection?, it doesn't get better than that. He is the most gentle, caring dentist out there and always has time for your questions. I also love Misty at the front desk. Don't bother with any other dentist, Dr Leads is the only one.
