Finding a dentist you can truly trust isn't easy, but I'm so grateful I found this office. The dentist is incredibly skilled, gentle, honest, and genuinely cares about every patient. They made me feel comfortable from start to finish, paid close attention to every detail, and delivered amazing results. The prices were fair, the service was exceptional, and the entire team was friendly and professional. I left feeling confident and truly appreciated. I would recommend this dental office to anyone without hesitation! read more

I absolutely LOVE this dentist and his entire team. The dentist is great ,honest, and he only wants what's best for his patients. He's not going to upsell you on a service or product you simply don't need. From the moment you walk in the office they greet you at the front desk happily. They seriously seem to enjoy helping you. We currently live in a time where customer service is terrible but it's not that way here. All of the techs that work on you are wonderful from the gentleman that cleans my teeth to the radiologist. With everything around us is turning into large corporations where you're simply a number I feel so blessed to have found Smile Design Dental Group where I am treated as an individual and not part of the herd. I highly recommend Smile Design Dental Group. read more

I called here and the receptionist said to come in before 4:30 pm. I needed to have my stitches snipped after 2 week of dull pain and annoyance from my dental implant surgery by another dentist in WLV. Dr A removed with them easily and painlessly so I'm happy I went back to him plus he's within walking distance! I highly recommend him and I'm ultra picky!! read more

See all

I just wanted to thank Dr. Asil for his incredible work, kindness, and wonderful staff. It always amazes me.

This dental office is great. I wanted to reschedule my future appointment and it was so easy and they were so accommodating. Welcoming on arrival, hygienist was caring, professional and friendly. Dr A is professional and caring and always remembers something personal about me that we have talked about in the past and seems to sincerely care. A nice experience these days. read more

Susie the dental hygienist does a great job cleaning my teeth. I recommend Dr. Asil as a gentle dentist. Very good at finding and fixing the problem. read more

From top to bottom, start to finish, left to right, any which way you cut it - Dr. Asil and his staff are truly amazing. The level of care, quality, service, and ease of working with ANY ONE in this office is nothing but superb. Dr. Asil and his staff take great pride in the work they do, and it shows. Take it from someone who was severely traumatized 10+ years ago (to the point where my anxiety was so overwhelming I'd have a panic attack thinking about walking into a dental office), this office and its people have only ever made me feel comfortable. Not only Dr. Asil and his hands-on staff are great, but his two office girls are so freaking wonderful. They take the time to create a treatment plan that can actually work with your finances (insurance) - they're not there to try and rip you off. They also keep it real; love that. I am SO grateful to have Dr. Asil and his staff as my dental care professionals. read more

Fred D. My experience with Smile Design Dental Group was great, Dr. Asil explained every step in the procedure I had. They made me feel very comfortable on every visit and the nurses and the front office staff treated me like family. Thank you to entire staff. read more

These folks are super nice and care about their work on a consistent basis. I highly recommend their services!

This dental office with Dr. Asil and his staff in my opinion are the best. From the moment you meet the personable receptionist, Debbie you know you are in an office that is caring and efficient. Dr. Asil and his assistant are not just skilled in their dental work but have the nicest bed side manner that is so comforting for their patients. My son, recommended Dr. Asil and my husband and I are so thankful and will never dread going to the dentist, in fact, look forward to seeing this happy staff. Judy Hooper read more

Smile Design Dental Group - Oral Surgeons Near Me - San Clemente, California

This dental office is so refreshing! After going to two other local dentists, I finally found a very friendly, professional, straightforward and competent dental office. The Smile Design Dental Group in San Clemente is very well organized. Patients are treated like friends and respected- the other dental offices I visited were only interested in my money. Dr Arash Asil an his professional staff are the best. read more

They are very attentive in helping correct my areas of need. I've seen great progress!!

Both my wife and I have been going to Dr. Asil for several years. We love the people at this Dental office, they are super personable and caring.

I had he great fortune to find Arash Asil in San Clemente, Ca. He is a great dentist. Helped me, not only with great dental work, but his staff helped me with the financial aspect of the procedure. He is exceptionally helpful, professional and does terrific work. He explained every avenue and aspect of my dental issues. He continues to monitor any problem that I might have. read more

So impressed with Dr Asil and his staff. They are very professional and truly care about the health of their patients different than many offices out there that push every service they can to up sell on your visit. I broke my tooth in half and had to extract it. I have never had cavities or extraction and was horrified to have to do so. Dr Asil was very attentive and made the whole process easy. So grateful I found his office here in SC! Literally smiling! Thank you! read more

Great dentist, great service. Never pushy with sales just providing the facts for hygiene and cosmetic issues. I highly recommend.

Great Dentist, great staff! Good location. Dropped some serious coin for a new grill and smiling all day!

I'm very happy with this office, my dentist is honest, he has restored my teeth in the order of necessity; other dentists have tried to do unnecessary treatments and have made wrong decisions. The office staff is exceptionally friendly and I drive an hour to come here because I trust the customer service and my dentist. Dr. Thanks! Annette read more

I've been going to see Dr. Asil for over 5 years. They do quality work and are very honest and trustworthy. The entire staff is a delight to interact with! read more

Great experience and knowledgeable, friendly staff. My go to dentist for the past few years. Also amazing location.

Here is another 5 star review for Dr. Asil and staff. When I have a problem that cannot wait I am able to get in to the office right away. And I had the problem fixed in under an hour. Thanks. read more

Dr. Asil and his team at Smile Design are fantastic! My husband and I have been going here for over 17 years and couldn't be happier with their care and service. we highly recommend Dr. Asil! read more

I love Dr Asil and staff at Smile Design Dental Group and couldn't ask for a better dentist!

So, do you ever go to the Dentist and laugh? I do! Everyone in Dr Asil's office is very kind and funny. The Dr is an absolute perfectionist and never, ever hurts me and his Hygienist DeAnna is the best. And Dianne, she will take care of all that nasty paperwork for you. The Dr will make the most beautiful crown(s) for you. He has a great eye. My family goes here and we wouldn't go anywhere else. We've been going here for 10+ years. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

So happy to have found my dentist! Went in initially for a teeth cleaning and had a wonderful experience! The staff is so friendly and Dr. Asil did a fantastic job. Then came back about a month later to get a filling redone, and for the first time EVER I did not feel that horrible Novocain shot! That has always been what I dreaded most about getting any dentistry work done and I really have to commend Dr. Asil for this one, thank you for your gentle, steady hand sir :) I definitely recommend Dr. Asil and his office to all in the area! read more

Amazing staff! They are extremely experienced and a pleasure to go to (and i realize the irony saying that about the dentist). I have been going here for the last 8 years and will continue to as long as I live in orange county! read more

We moved to California holding onto our Michigan dentist for a while, because we loved them. We were a little anxious about changing dentist. We bought a house finally in the area and needed to find a dentist. We did our research and found Dr. Asil and his wonderful staff. We have been taken care of so well. They even corrected some of the oops from our previous dentist. They are very accomadating for my working family. They are a part of my family now and we totally trust them. read more

I highly recommend smile design dental group for all your dental orthodontic needs. The staff is very nice and the work is excellent. If you want a perfect smile, Smile Design Dental Group is your place. read more

My first time here was such a great experience! Debbie at front desk is very helpful and kind. Deeana, the dental hygienist, will be sure to make you laugh before you've left the office. I came in here a little scared, because I knew there was going to be some work being done since I had a broken fill-in, from a couple years back, that I had neglected. Dr Asil made sure I was fully numb before digging in, and I was so surprised that such a deep fill-in did not cause any pain (there was a slight chance it it being a root canal-that's how deep). I was so used to dentists just using the bare minimum to numb you and was expecting some slight pain. The attention to small details that this office puts to make sure their patients are comfortable is why I will be coming back. Even their "goodie" bags show they care. You know those cheap toothbrushes other offices give so you'll brush your teeth? Who actually even uses those? Smile Design knows we don't, so they give you goodies they know you'll actually use...it's the small things. Thank you Dr. Asil and staff! :) read more

As usual, my experience at Smile Design Dental Group was terrific. Always a smiling, friendly staff. Dr. Asil is the most honest dentist I've ever met. If you don't need it, he won't pretend you do. I can not recommend this dental practice enough. read more

Cavity under my crown! Ugghhh. All is well, no root canal needed. My new crown arrived in time, fits like my natural tooth. Dr Asil made sure I did not loose my insurance allowance for 2020. Thoughtful and clean office and staff. read more

I want to update my review of Dr. Asil because I felt he has gone above and beyond what Dentists do. I was in last week for a cleaning new hygienist, Aubrie did an excellent job. Everything was great, learned some more brushing tips, saw Dr Asil and Debbie and left. I forgot that one day I called and came in,no appointment. I had this white spot in the back of my mouth. Additionally I have had problems with tongue pain. Dr Asil examined me, took a X-ray of the spot to show to my head and neck doctor. When I saw the doctor the spot was gone,but the X-ray was beneficial to him.. That's what I mean of Dr Asil. He treats your whole mouth not just your teeth. I will be back in 3 months for my next exam. Thank you, Larry read more

It can be kind of scary going to a new dentist ( I have had some bad experiences- see below) but I was so glad to find Arash M. Asil, DMD at Smile Design Dental Group. He is so professional and mellow, and instantly puts you at ease. He is clearly up to date with all the latest technology in dentistry and he even teaches at USC two days a week. But the very best thing about Dr. Asil- the reason for the five stars- is that in addition to repairing the shotty dental work I had had- he was able to fix me up without having the root canal that I was told I needed! Thank God for small miracles! It can be hard to find a trustworthy, knowledgeable dentist, but I have done it. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Asil to anyone in need of a great dentist. read more

Would follow Dr. Asil wherever he goes! It took over 60 years, but I have finally found a dentist who GETS IT... that is, that dental fears are REAL to the person experiencing them. Dr. Asil and staff are kind and caring, and he is a top notch professional. Making the patient comfortable is their goal. And right now, going for dental cleanings at Smile Design feels very safe; lots of safety protocols are in place. Couldn't recommend more highly. read more

Finding a dentist isn't hard, but finding a good dentist is a challenge. Smile Design Dental Office has it all. Great warm staffs, best hygienist, gentle assistant and best dentist in San Clemente. I am not a fan of dentist, but I can put away my fear to see Dr. Asil. We feel so lucky to have Dr. Asil as our dentist. he has taken care of my husband's gum disease, my chipped tooth and crown. You can trust his work and advise. Crown fits perfectly like your own tooth. read more

This place is a total rip-off. I came in with a horrible toothache. I thought they were great to get me in right away. The staff is really excellent! But the dentist is just another greedy incompetent, like so many others. He took X-rays and found an abscess under on of my front teeth, probably caused by a seed or other small item getting stuck there. He then told me that he would need to remove a 4 crown bridge to get a better look for cavities. OK. Then I heard a giant crunch sound which was the crunching up of my bridge! I had only had it about 6 years with no prior problems. ATA cost of $6000. I'm like what the hell, I obviously need antibiotics for the abscess, but I never had heard of destroying a good bridge just to examine for cavities! He explained it was necessary to see what kind of shape the teeth were in. The teeth he was looking at were not infected, nor were they causing me any discomfort. I was appalled and shocked . He then told me that I would need at least 2 implants and 4 new crowns. I informed him that I had planned a fixed implant/denture in the future. ( I have a condition that destroyed my ability to create saliva which plays a huge role in preventing decay.) so root canals and crowns only last a short time, so this is the best option for me. I got stuck paying for 1 crown and had him place a temp in the giant gap he left in my front teeth. *** I later went to see a highly recommended dentist DR. EKLE in San Clemente. I found DR. EKLE recommended by dozens of people on the San Clemente Life Facebook page. God bless the many people who answered a request for a good honest dentist there. He said yes the antibiotics were what I needed, he even gave me a scrip for a refill in case it came back, so I wouldn't get charged for another visit. He also recommended a mini-root-canal in the event the other teeth started to cause me any trouble. These can be done without destroying or removing an existing crown. If I had seen him first I would have saved a $6000 crown. The infection gone and saved $1300 out of pocket. The Smile Group will leave you with anything but a smile read more
