What our patients are saying.

I have two words that sum up my experience: SIMPLY AMAZING! I could go on and on, but the simple truth is I felt like family from beginning to end. Dr. Vakili and all the staff (special shout out to mom June) made me feel comfortable all the way through. When it comes to me having a beautiful smile — SHE DELIVERED! I am forever grateful to her. She is a true artist. I have my smile back. Love you guys.

I have been a patient at Solana Smiles for 10 years and have had dental surgeries performed by Dr. Vakili and Dr. Leila, both incredibly skilled, great bedside manner making me feel at ease, and I had excellent outcomes! The entire office staff and all the technicians are professional, kind and friendly. I must mention the best hygienist I have ever experienced, Jessica, always cleans my teeth to perfection! I feel totally confident that I am in good hands and would not go anyplace else for my dental needs!

Dr. Vakili is the best dentist I have ever seen. She's kind, assertive and very knowledgeable. I have very brittle bone jaw structure and was unable to have implants installed in my upper jaw. Dr. Vakili and her staff not only had the solution to my problem but made the process very easy and stress free. I can proudly say that I have the beautiful teeth and smile that I was after. I'm extremely happy and highly recommend Solana Smiles in Solana Beach, CA.

After many years of severe periodontal disease, I was told the only solution was full implants on top and bottom to restore my health, smile, and confidence. I put it off for far too long because I was absolutely petrified of the surgery. Having struggled with dental phobia and anxiety for years, I knew I needed a dentist I could fully trust — and I found that in Dr. Vakili at Solana Smiles. If you are considering this procedure but are hesitant or afraid: I should have done this three years ago.

I can not speak highly enough about Solana Smiles. They are kind and considerate, taking their time to properly and carefully care for your teeth and gums, and all oral concerns you might have. They talk you through it, and keep you informed and up to date on what needs to be done and how to care for any procedure. They bend over backwards to help ease the tension and anxiety of any and all who may fear or be uncomfortable with dental care. I highly recommend Solana Smiles and promise you will not be disappointed.

I cannot recommend this office enough. One of the things I appreciate most is their punctuality — I am always seen immediately at my appointment time without any waiting around. The entire staff is informative, helpful, and genuinely kind. I recently had to have an upper bridge removed for cleaning and X-rays, and the process was completely painless. They are incredibly gentle, and the quality of service is consistently high. I always leave feeling safe, satisfied, and well-taken care of!

Did the 'all on x' procedure for my upper arch, and the whole process was absolutely fantastic. I was afraid of not doing the nitrous during extractions, but the alternative was just as effective. The extent of pain I experienced was the bruising in the cheeks, but was gone within 24 hours. I've had little to zero discomfort through the whole process. Will absolutely be back to do the lower arch. The staff was all around excellent as well.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with this dental office. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and truly cares about your comfort. My dentist took the time to explain every step of the process, which really helped me feel safe and informed throughout my visit. The office is spotless and has a very calming atmosphere. If you're looking for a dentist who makes you feel genuinely cared for, this is the place!

Very nice, personable, exceptionally competent, professional staff, led by an accomplished dentist with decades of experience. Full/complete dental office staffing. Pricing fair. Turnaround on needed dental additions impressively short (they have their own lab). Large, beautifully designed and constructed, contemporary offices, with state-of-the-art equipment. No extraordinarily lengthy waits for appointments. About as good an experience one could hope for at a dentist's office.
