    I initially went to this dentist because I had slight discomfort when biting on one of my teeth. I…read moredid not have any constant pain, but the dentist told me there was a crack in the tooth and immediately referred me to an endodontist. Based on that referral, I ended up getting a root canal on that tooth. Later, when I went to another dentist to place a crown, my new dentist told me that he did not see any crack in the tooth. He explained that in a situation like mine, he would normally first remove the old filling, clean out any decay underneath, and then place a new filling. According to him, a root canal might not have been necessary. Because of this experience, I don't understand why the first dentist sent me directly to an endodontist without first opening the filling or checking for decay. It made me feel like other treatment options were not properly considered, and unfortunately it caused me to lose trust. Another reason I decided not to return to this office for the crown is that they only offered porcelain crowns. My current dentist recommended zirconia instead, which is a stronger option for back teeth that handle heavy biting forces. Overall, I wish the initial diagnosis and treatment plan had been more carefully evaluated before moving straight to a root canal.

Some of the same staff is there from when I first started going and one of the reasons I'm still going there even though I don't work or live close by anymore is because of Daoud. Daoud is the best hygenist ever. He is so gentle and super friendly. I typically only have cleanings so most of the time is with Daoud, but Dr. Zand always remembers me, is super friendly and doesn't ever try to push anything on me. My husband now also goes here and he's had a root canal and fillings replaced without any problems. I really appreciate how the office knows their patients even when we typically only see them twice a year. I've never had any issues with insurance coverage and out of pocket expenses are reasonable. I like that I get text updates for appointment reminders and can usually find an appointment that fits my schedule easily. I tend to have to reschedule a lot for work, but never have problems doing so. I definitely recommend checking out Sorrento Valley Perfect Smile if you're looking for a dentist.

I'm so grateful to my new doctor and his team. He charged me half what Kiyan did to do the same work but so much better. It really speaks to how imperative it is to choose the right person for the job. Dr. Kiyan was a horrible mistake I hope nobody else makes.

    I have been holding off on posting a review... but I had a friend just recently tell me that they…read morewent here and have had major issues. I went here about years ago and I really loved this office when I first came and I really loved Dr Kiyan and his staff. He was doing a deal for a full mouth reconstruction for $15,000 so I did it. I had six porcelain veneers in my front that I should not have taken out because they were much better quality. He prepped my teeth and did crown lengthening which did not make my gums even. It was an absolute waste of time. I had Crown lengthening once before by a periodontist and highly recommend going to a periodontist for this procedure. He then put 20 crowns in one day. The next day I was in severe pain and it lasted a while... The doctor told me that that was normal. Come to find out I needed numerous root canal's. So after having these new crowns put in I had to go and have root canal's drilled through the middle of the crown. I ended up getting 10root canals which was not cheap. Then I would have crowns fall out and break. I had numerous crowns fall out and break. I paid $500 to fix my last broken ground there and then when another crown broke he said that I needed to have two other teeth have new crowns because they now have decay. Which I mentioned when I first had the crowns done that they weren't fully covering the tooth that they were most likely going to have cavities. Anyway he said that I would now have to pay $1500 per crown. How does any dentist charge more to fix issues caused. Personally I shouldn't even had to of paid the $500 for the one crown that I had fixed. Since having this work done recently I had a crown fall out realizing that there was really no tooth underneath it. So he put a crown on pretty much no tooth..And another crown fell out on the opposite side with pretty much no tooth. I'm Going to have to have a full reconstruction and numerous implants. I'm not even sure how many teeth have nothing underneath the crown.. My teeth havabsolutely been ruined. In the pictures that I posted you can see the uneven gummy smile with one of my front teeth is bigger than the other.. you can see next to my bottom teeth the broken tooth that has been there for a while. And you can also see the missing teeth on the bottom. I am seriously paying the price for bad dentistry. Since these photos luckily I found a dentist to help fix these awful issues but had to spend 18k

I had gotten sick and forgot to cancel, so that was not related to anything the office did. They were ultimately just following up about my care, which I appreciated. What stood out to me is that they truly make time for you. It does not feel like one of those offices where they are juggling multiple patients at once and the dentist is working on 3 people at once. The cleaning was great as well, and although I forgot the tech's name, she was thorough and quite informed. I'm def going back for my cleanings with this tech. My care with Dr. Janice felt especially thoughtful and focused. She kept me informed every step of the way and clearly explained the risks and benefits of different treatment options. I really value that, because many dentists do not give the full picture unless they are trying to steer you in a certain direction. Here, the discussion felt balanced, transparent, and aligned with what I already understood about my dental history and what I had previously been told might happen. I was also impressed that she understood my situation before I even had to explain it fully. A lot of the time, I find myself filling in the background first before a provider adjusts their view. That was not the case here. Highly recommend this office if you are looking for a new dentist. I already had Invisalign underway with another provider, but otherwise I probably would have done it here.
