Outstanding!!! Having had all of my upper teeth removed after a failed $9000+ implant bridge, and suffering through 6 months of a full upper removable denture - which worked ok (only if I didn't try to eat, LOL!), I was determined to get a full permanent upper (maxillary) implant arch. But being 82 years old and on a fixed income (SSI and Vet Benefits) and not wanting to throw away limited funds, I did a lot of research as to my options and visited different implant specialists. In my research, I learned that often dentists recommend implants with removable "snappers" to reduce the initial cost. But they require removal at night and the plastic that holds them in place may have to be replaces every 6 months, resulting in continuing cost. I decided that a permanent implant arch is what I wanted have done. For the strongest bond, I wanted to get the 6 implants ("All-in-6") for greater bite force distributed more evenly and with a higher implant survival rates. But I was also concerned about my bone density due to my age (which caused the previous implant bridge failure) and implants encroaching on my sinus cavities. That's when I learned about YOMI robotic surgery, a highly specialized medical device that requires an investment of over $150-$200K, used by an elite teir (1%) of U.S. dentists. The robot utilizes the patient's 3D scans to track oral anatomy in real time,to guide the exact angle, depth, and three-dimensional location of the implant.The robotic arm dynamically prevents deviations from the pre-planned surgical path and automatically stops drilling once the optimal, safe depth is reached, protecting critical nerves and sinuses, performing surgery with smaller incisions, less tissue cutting, and significantly faster patient recovery times. There are only a few dentists in Northern California that use the YOMI robot. Dr. Sassan Kafayi is one of them. He is a graduate of University of the Pacific Dental School, and I was impressed that he was appointed there as a part-time faculty teaching practical clinical skills and supervising dental students. I asked by personal dentist and friend for a second opinion on Dr Kafayi and my decision. When I told him that he used the YOMI robot, he said no question that I should go with him. He said he has heard so much about the YOMI but had never had the chance to view it in action, and if I wouldn't mind, would I ask Dr Kafayi if he could come to watch the procedure. Dr Kafayi said he would be honored to host and so we scheduled the procedure. The implant procedure went well and very painless, even without general anesthesia. Dr Kafayi and Serguey, his excellent assistant, worked as a high tech YOMI team, positioning and monitoring the YOMI robot arm. My dentist friend was in the room observing and asking questions, and was extremely impressed by the robot and the team. I am now enjoying my temporary upper arch teeth, waiting for the permanent implants in 3-6 months. I rate and recommend Dr Kafayi and his whole team as superior, an outstanding implant experience was provided by his whole office. He is personable and kind, and explains himself well. 10 stars, would not be too much to award this practice! read more

I had a toothache for a few days, I need do root canal. Dr.Sasan Kafayi did great for my tooth, I know the root canal is painful. But the way he did mine, I didn't feel that much at all. Even the day after, I appreciate his expert team, and Dr.Sasan Kafayi. Thank you read more

Just left the dental office with new implants feeling great. Thanks to skill and expertise of the Dentists who work at this office The staff is friendly, helpful, flexible and knowledgeable on dental issues If want good result i suggest you give them a call read more

There is no doubt that Dr. Kafayi knows the medical procedures in and out. However, please be cautious as to what is recommended. I was super concerned and worried about the procedure which naturally caused me to asked questions. Dr. kafayi was obviously annoyed and stormed out of the room without explanation. I had to get clarification from the receptionist who confirmed that Dr. Kafayi was referring me out. All in all I don't think the "emergent medical procedure was actually necessary" . Seems like a sleezy mechanic ask questions and be referred out read more

I had the worst dental experience in this practice. Dr. Kafayi is certainly skilled and knowledgeable in his field but when it comes to compassionate, kind, friendly attitude towards patients, it is just absent. I understand that some doctors are cold and unfriendly, but when it comes to dental procedures, I think it is crucial to know how to make your patient feel at ease and not stressed out. I had my first invasive dental procedure done here and it terrified me mainly because Dr. Kafayi seemed very rude to me. I did't even get a proper explanation of the procedure, not even a word that would calm me down or make me feel at ease. I wish I chose my dentist more carefully. read more

They don't care for a patient. Only male dental assistant and female dental assistant are helpful and extremely patient. the dentist and the receptionist are terrific. They are rude. And also their utensils are not sterile well. and the dentist is impatient and treat the patients like an animal. I don't understand how come they own a business and get a license in United States. They are rude. read more

I had gone to Sassan Kafayi, DDS for cleaning. Before the cleaning started he talked to me and asked me if there is anything bothering me. I said I was okay and he made sure he got my xrays from March from his brother who was my old Dentist (His brother is not covered under my insurance so I switched to Sassan Kafayi). My hygienist Daisy was the nicest hygienist ever. Due to smoking, I had tar in my teeth and she got them all out! She paid attention to details and was very nice to me. The receptionist was also nice. I had the best cleaning experience here. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Kafayi for 25 years, so I've had 50 cleanings by now, and a wide variety of work done on my teeth and gums. One thing I've noticed and admired is that the staff has been *exactly the same* for the last 20 years! Most recently I was very happy with the beautiful result of some major work: a dental implant on my upper front tooth. I was nervous as this is the most visible tooth in a person's smile, and getting the color and shape and function correct was important to me. My old tooth had to be extracted, a titanium post anchored into the jaw bone and more over several months. The good news is that the implant turned out to be a perfect match visually, and functionally it feels strong too. Check out the photo below and see if you can tell which tooth is not my original. My overall assessment is that the practice tends to trend towards the advanced side of technology including modern digital tools/imaging, showing Dr. Kafayi's interest in innovation. He and his staff are strong practitioners with good technique. They do tend to concentrate on their work in your mouth, and are not very chatty, so if you're the type of patient that wants to know "what's happening at all times" and "what's about to happen next" and "when is something going to hurt" (which is totally reasonable, as I like that too), then be sure to speak up in advance and in the early part of the relationship to see if they can adjust to your preferences. In summary, I feel comfortable being in a friendly, experienced, competent and "forward thinking practice". read more

Sassan Kafayi, DDS - Which tooth is an implant and which are the natural teeth? (the blue arrow is the spoiler alert) - General Dentistry Near Me - San Francisco, California

Dr Kafayi and his team are really terrific - they've been working on our family's teeth for the last few years (6?) and we're very pleased with them. That gives you 4 stars. What gives them 5 stars is that the whole team from Irene the patient and very responsive receptionist to the well documented gem of a hygienist... Daisy (She deserves a page devoted to her). Why we're committed to them? My mother in law arrived from Europe... had a problem, we sent her right to Dr Kafayi.... he fixed her up and when it came time to pay he recognized insurance was going to be a hassle for both of them... comped it. #boom. Great customer service for your committed clients = forever customers. read more

This practice is all class. Irene (at the front desk) is amazing and helped me schedule 4 referral appointments during her lunch break. While Dr. Kafayi gave me a free consultation and went through all of my options to solve my restorative dentist issues. Note all this was done without ever having to pay a dime! Think I'll be heading back? Hell yeah! And this time with my wallet open ;) read more

I no longer come to Dr. Kafayi as I relocated, and it's hard for me to drive to Bart, take Bart, etc. etc. Anyway, I just wanted to leave a stellar review for Dr. Kafayi and his staff. I was introduced by his long term clients, who are my coworkers! I used to work in Downtown SF, so the walk to the office was nice! Location is convenient as it's by Union Square and is located in a beautiful building (newly installed elevators roughly a year or so ago). When you walk in, they always play classy classical music, so I feel relaxed and kinda fancy haha! Their level of service and expertise is phenomenal. Irene and Tanisha are really friendly, warm, and professional. Sergei is quick and attentive, and Dr. Kafayi is quick, efficient, and friendly. They are normally closed Fridays, but they were able to make an appointment for me to get my two wisdom teeth removed on a Friday in Dec 2019 (clean, quick, easy!). Daisy, the hygienist, is literally the best hygienist ever. She is so light, nimble, detailed, and skilled- I fall asleep when she works on me. She is so so good at her job, so I'm sad that I relocated and am farther away from Dr. Kafayi's office since Daisy does a phenomenal job. I can't stress how great she is. She is also very friendly! When you first come in, they take a picture of you so they remember who you are, which is great because they still remember the minute details about me, even though I always forget to schedule my appointments (maybe that is why they remember me haha). I loved being Dr. Kafayi's patient and if I ever work/ live in SF, then I would definitely go back to this place! Thank you for everything! read more

Great dentist office from Irene to Doctor himself. They do very hard work to make you happy. This office gets 5 stars hands down....

Dr. Kafayi talks to me in a direct manner, making certain I understand what's going on, what he wants to do and why. He is compassionate, has a sense of humor and is committed to pain-free dentistry. I especially want to mention Daisy, a superb hygienist who always make my teeth sparkle. The rest of his supporting cast contribute to an excellent experience. read more

Best Dentist in San Francisco! Dr. Kafayi and his staff are very professional and kind. I highly recommend this office for anyone looking for a high quality dental experience. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Kafayai for several years now. I go to him for second opinions most often, although I've also had him and his staff do work on my teeth as well. I really love his approach as he's very straightforward, thorough, and truly cares about his patients' overall health, not just their teeth. I highly recommend him, especially if you're already in the area, as it makes it easy to take care of your teeth during weekday business hours. read more

My husband and I have both had superior experiences at Dr. Kafayi's office. He is gentle, kind, and compassionate, and his staff is superb. Daisy is without a doubt the best hygienist we've ever experienced! The hubby normally avoids dentists like the plague, but I'm actually able to get him to go to Dr. Kafayi!! The office manager Irene helped us to work out the financing we needed, which was great. Serguei the dental technician was really nice too. I highly recommend this office! read more

Both my husband and myself had to face facts: we were appearance minded ( read vain) people who had dental issues. These were basically issues of cosmetics AND periodontics both. Any average dentist could have made our lives and dental health miserable, and for years to come! We have been seeing Sassan Kafayi for 5 years now, and both of us have experienced life changing results. We are both blessed with healthy periodontics, and beautiful cosmetic alterations which have allowed us both vast amounts of self esteem! In short: Sassan Kafayi : BEST. DENTIST. EVER. ( yes he is expensive..., but only within expected costs for two people who were ( um) challenging to work on. ) We intend to continue to see him as our ONLY dental health AND cosmetic dental alteration person for as long as he keeps his practice! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Kafayi's for 10 years. He is by far, the best dentist I have come across. He is super-smart, skilled and knowledgable on the latest dental technology. The staff is also terrific! Irene, at the front desk desk is always accommodating and gracious regarding scheduling, working with insurances and payments. Daisy, the hygienist, is amazing! She is so gentle and thorough with her cleanings, when I am done, I feel and look like I have a new set of teeth. Dr. Kafayi's assistant, Serge is also extremely professional and skilled. This office rocks so much, I fly in from Arizona to be under their care. read more

this is the worst dentist i have ever been to. charlatan anyone? he told me i had 3 cavities and before i had them filled he "fixed" my husband's tooth which then after 3 nights of pain and then antibiotics, was resurrected by another dentist, (see review) my new dentist never found my "3" cavities and now, 5 years later I am still wondering where they are...DO NOT lend your mouth to Kafayi and his shiny new office with a million dollar view. read more

Daisy is the best hygienist I've ever experienced. Cleanings are more like a nice gentle gum massage than a cleaning. Irene, the office manager, is very nice as well. read more

He's good, his staff is good, his prices are reasonable. I hate going to the dentist but at least Dr. Kafayi makes is somewhat bearable

RUN FAR AWAY from this practice. Dr is completely unprofessional and his breath is beyond horrific! he is a complete scam! will diagnose treatment and in the middle of prepping the tooth we had discussed on treating he "finds" more problems and such fourth causing me to pay more than what i was proposed with. SCAM!! he treats his employees with ZERO respect as well. STAY AWAY!! read more

Dr. Kafayi and staff are amazing. I usually go in for cleanings and for some reason I always have a cavity. =/ On one occasion, it was found that I needed to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed. Although this is not Kafayi's specialty, he still gave me a great recommendation to someone else. In terms of my cavities, Dr. Kafayi works fairly quickly. In and out and appointments aren't hard to make. Dr. Kafayi does an amazing job on the fillings. It usually always feels correct to my bite. Insurance is a really hard one for me because not that many places take my insurance. I feel like Dr. Kafayi works with me. Currently I am a full-time student working five jobs to take care of myself and my entire family (Grandmother mainly). Yess I said 5. Without realizing I have a co-pay, I had no choice but to leave a check. In my hectic life, I forgot all about my dentist fees and did not have enough funds to cover my co-pay. After my own bank fees, of course I still had to figure out how I was going to remit my payment to Dr. Kafayi. Without a clue as to what was going on in my life, I feel like Dr. Kafayi really worked with me and was not pushy at all. Him and his staff did not make me feel embarrassed or belittled, but instead was very understanding and reassuring. For that reason and his amazing craft.. 5 stars. Thank you Dr. Kafayi read more

Dr. Kafayi and team are extremely skilled and intelligent. Daisy is amazing; Irene is very helpful.The latest technologies are utilized.

After being with the same dentist for over 25 years, I moved from Oregon and have been very happy with the level of attention and service I have been getting by Dr. Kafayi and his professional staff read more

This is my second visit to Dr. Kafayi's office in San Jose and I would state that since I visited his office I can really smile. I decided to transfer al my dental care to his office. Dr Kafayi is the main reason for my beautiful smile : ) He was creative in my case and his many years of experience has paid off for both the way he performs the work and for the final results. I visited many dentists in the area and he is one of very few who I did not have to go back for to correct something. Dr. Kafai artfully built up two molars for me and fitted their crowns in an amazing way. I could not believe my eyes when I finally saw a great looking functioning tooth fills in the gab in my lower arch . It was long procedure that he was patient enough for and very caring in working on it. He added more shot of pain killer once I start feeling a slight pain. I appreciated when he sincerely apologizes for the poke of the shot . I had amazing final results because he was asking the right questions all the time during the process. I owe Dr. Kafayi my new smile and I thank his staff for their kindness, professionalism, and their checking on me phone calls after the long procedure. That was very kind of them. read more
