Despite being an Invisalign provider, after assessing my bite digitally and manually Dr. Fred found my repeating that expense was unnecessary which showed integrity. Dr. Fred is reachable when necessary and communication with his team is simple, effective and responsive. Each member of Smile Dentistry's team is caring, friendly and supportive of your dental health. Both the hygienist and Dr. Fred recommended personalized dental care tips. Dr. Fred's exam techniques and technology choices attest to his advanced education at UCSD and USC. He explains your film findings and treatment options in simple terms for sound and lasting results.  Having TMJ, Dr. Fred examined my bite with articulating paper using the same methods as my Oral, Head and Neck Pathologist several counties away. I could not find a local practitioner skilled in these techniques. Dr. Fred took time fixing my bite to prevent further fractures without my feeling like a nuisance or rushed. Dr. Fred's digitizer results in crowns with a superior fit compared to standard impressions. When outside referral was necessary to other specialities, Dr. Fred personally ensured I received treatment soon and his entrusted network is equally advanced in training, technology and conscientiousness. All were in-network with my insurance which is uncommon. His welcoming other specialties' opinions further increased my trust. Each provider called me after major treatment checking on my recovery and answering questions.  Dr. Fred and his team are kind, patient and considerate and the office is inviting. Pricing is reasonable without pushing unnecessary aesthetic treatments. Thank you Dr. Fred and San Diego Smile Dentistry for patiently and gracefully returning my dental health.

He is truly an artist! The result looks so natural, and he gave me back the confidence to smile without worrying. Dr. Refahi is patient, professional, and a great listener. He takes the time to understand your concerns and makes even the most stressful procedures feel manageable. His office also has the latest technology, which adds another level of confidence and comfort. If you have dental anxiety or find it difficult to trust a dentist, Dr. Refahi will put your fears at ease. His reception team is equally wonderful--always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Since my initial experience with Dr. Qadeer I have had multiple unfortunate experiences at Mesa…read moreDental. I have had several cleanings and fillings here in the last 3.5 years and with every visit I lose a little more trust in this place. Multiple times have I sat down in the chair and had the dentist go "today we'll be working on the right side of your mouth" and I go "no you're not - it's the left side". Or "we'll be working on this tooth", and I go, "no it's this tooth". I also think that while Dr. Qadeer took his time to make me feel comfortable and to gain his trust, being gentle - the other dentist does not. At my most recent visit he was extremely rushed - bumped into my chair, dropped the camera, almost started working on the wrong side of my mouth. Not the level of professionalism I expect from Mesa Dental - and quite frankly I lost a lot of trust in their work. The assistant also kept forcing the suction down my throat, gagging me. Very rough and not very good. I will be reconsidering my future dental work, and looking for a different dentist.

The times I've been here, I haven't had any issues. Vibes: It's in the suburbs of Linda Vista and a little bit of Clairemont, but it's in a plaza with some local commercial businesses. The spot itself is clean and nice. I was welcomed with a warm greeting and lite rock music. The dental rooms are pretty spacious and I like the natural lighting. CUSTOMER SERVICE: I worked with Saky, Dr. Linda, and I believe Salina. Great people! Friendly and knowledgeable people. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. I may be biased as this is my first dental experience in SD but thank goodness I don't need to look for another. Great service, I dig the tech, and the delivery. Count me in for regular cleanings and such. If you're in the area and looking for good dental service, come by here! TIPS: * Call ahead of time and don't be shy to ask questions.

They have a specialist that comes into the office at a recurring basis so you don't have to go somewhere else for a referral. Everyone ive interacted with has been very friendly and knowledgeable.

Finding Friendly Family Dental and reading through the reviews here gave me just enough confidence to give it a shot. Glad I did. Dr. Tan and the entire staff brought a warmth and authenticity that was noticeable from the moment I walked in -- front desk, X-rays, the cleaning, all of it. This is a small, personal practice, not one of those high-volume offices with a massive team and a slick website. That difference shows in how you're treated. Not all the news from my visit was good, but Dr. Tan shared it with patience and honesty, and the decisions we landed on felt like a real conversation rather than a treatment plan handed down. There's no urgency being created around minor concerns here -- just measured, thoughtful care. That's rarer than it should be. Highly recommended.

She called me personally to verify my appointment and took the time to clearly explain everything related to my upcoming consultation and procedure. She carefully went over the evaluation for the four molar implants that I need, making sure I understood the process and what to expect.

Even before visiting the office, the way she treated me over the phone gave me a great sense of confidence and trust in this dental practice. If they have an employee like Desiree representing their office, it speaks very highly of the quality and professionalism of the entire team. Desiree was extraordinary, and based on my experience speaking with her alone, I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for excellent dental care. Humberto Iglesias

I had crowns done on the left side of my mouth (back 3 teeth) they took impressions and put them in my mouth without issue. The problem is that Dr. Fakhimi then removed all the anatomy from the newly delivered teeth leaving me with flat, horizontal pegs for teeth. Perhaps it's my fault for telling him my bite felt off, I don't know. It took forever to chew anything and I couldn't figure out why, I then noticed my teeth were flat. I called the office to see if they could use the impression to redo the teeth but they get rid of impressions once the teeth are delivered. I asked if they could use the teeth on the other side as a guide to give anatomy to the other side but apparently that is not a thing. In summary I paid about $5000 (thats with insurance coverage) to Dr. Fakhimi who permanently disfigured my teeth and bite. He does have a soft touch the anesthesia was painless, and grinding my teeth down didn't hurt. If you go to him just don't say your bite feels off because there is no way to fix teeth with no anatomy. Compare the back 3 teeth on the left to the ones on the right. It may not look like a big difference but it will determine if you eat steak again or not.
