After living in San Diego for over 2 years and going from dentist to dentist I finally found a great one!  Dr. Safarian and his team are awesome!  I've never had a problem getting an appointment working around my ever-changing work schedule.  They are very gentle and caring when working on your teeth!  So anyone who is scared going to the dentist I highly recommend coming here for a better experience.

After years of struggling to get a hold of my hometown dentist (they never even returned my phone calls), I decided to see a dentist in San Diego, where I had been in school for years. Dr. Safarian and his staff were personable and very knowledgeable; and I was surprised with their amazing technology. Dr. Safarian showed me and talked me through everything that he was doing, which made me feel very comfortable with not only his quality of dentistry, but also his commitment to his patient on a more personal level.

Dr. Safarian and his hygienist were both gentle, yet extremely effective. Louisa broke down the billing and estimated the costs with my insurance. She explained everything in detail, and was so helpful when my insurance company decided to be difficult (for reasons unrelated to Irresistible Smiles). The office is easy to get a hold of, and actually returns my phone calls, unlike my other crappy dentist.

I have since moved back up to northern California, but I do not want to switch dentists because I like Dr. Safarian's office so much. I definitely recommend Irresistible Smiles to anyone looking for a dentist, especially those who dread dentist visits because they are so gentle, friendly, AND effective!

I dread going to the dentist, more than the average person!! But I've been really happy with Dr. Safarian and his team. They make me feel relaxed and comfortable and are up to date on the latest and the office is nice and clean. Doc does a great job of explaining treatment options with no pressure and his team does a great job of explaining the costs prior to start of treatment. To top it off they take my insurance as well! I've found my dentist!!

I highly recommend Dr. Safarian to my friends and family. My Irresistible Smiles experience has been first rate throughout. I sincerely appreciated Dr. Safarian taking his time to explain as to why my teeth are in the condition that they are in (the state-of-the-art equipment doesn't lie). Priding myself in my oral hygiene, I was surprised to see, from the laser, that there was a underlying issue underneath my fillings. That being said, with a proper treatment plan outlined by Dr. Safarian, I will avoid an unnecessary emergency room trip for a broken crown or a root canal. I'm a fan for sure!

I was neglecting to see a dentist for several years and when I finally did, I searched dentists in my area that seemed to have the latest technology, cleanest office and friendliest staff. I ended up going to Dr. Safarian's practice who had everything I was looking for. It's been several years ago now, and I've been going to Dr. Safarian ever since. My family goes there now as well. Even if I probably never will enjoy going to the dentist, Dr. Safarian definitely makes it as painless as possible.

A confirmation of his skills and technique came about 3 years ago when I had to see another dentist for wisdom surgery (Dr. Safarian didn't do this type, under general anesthesia, etc). I found a specialist using Yelp and he took X-rays and unsolicited commented on the good work I had previously done (by Safarian), pointing out the tolerances in crown placement in the X-rays, etc. I got the warm fuzzy feeling you get when you know you made a good choice.

I just loved my experience at irresistible smiles. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly and quickly taken to the room I would be receiving my teeth whitening treatment. I had never had my teeth whitened before and was a bit nervous. Dr. Safarian was very informative about the process and each step along the way. It was painless and my smile has never looked better. I loved the TV on the wall AND the TV on the ceiling. Not only did i get a brighter smile, I was able to catch up on some of my favorite episodes of friends:)  I highly recommend Dr. Safarian !!!

It is hard to really get a read on a Dentist...it is a tough measure of tolerance to pain and price that brings in all kinds of issues for people.  For me, I went to this Dentist because he was willing to work with me when I had no insurance, money is tight and had only been to a dentist once in 10 years because of this.  Rating a Dentist is like rating a former significant other...can we be honest first with ourself?  Well I am going to try...because this was a good relationship and it is now over...until I need my next work done.  

This office was great in all ways for my definitions.  They worked around my schedule.  They set up reminders via text messages and email to be sure I was reminded of an appointment that very few of us would want to keep.  This was not just a cleaning but and expected 3 root canals and crowns to be done too.  Who wants to sit in that chair?  The office is set up unlike any other entrance I have been too.  It is comfortable.  Staff is all friendly and greeting.  They began with an evaluation of my mouth and gave me all the scenarios of need and set a plan that was discussed and understood by me fully.  

I had some serious pain in the lower part of my mouth after going to another good Dentist to do an emergency Root Canal and crown (unrelated to the pain).  The issue was there was a need for more work and I was not the perfect patient.  I have no INSURANCE.  This place would work with me and understood the situation.  They are not cheap but they are fair.  The other place was fair but not able to match what this place was willing to do to help me out in this situation.  He listened to what i could do and took me on as a patient.  Some dentists would tell me to beat it.    

Every time they went into my mouth they told me exactly what they were doing.  "Squirting water." "Cleaning out tooth". May sound obvious but never have I been given such detail to being sure I was comfortable and aware of every step before they did it.  I did not "need" it but for anyone feeling sensitive to having things stuck in your mouth and prepared for something awful, this would be a great way to have comfort.  Dr Safarian talks to you throughout to ensure you are comfortable and aware.  He is also very sure to show you what he is doing and why he feels it should be done; before, during and after.  He welcomed me to other opinions if I felt I needed them first.  He did all the things leading up to and throughout the work that made me feel "this may still be expensive but it is feels right...and I HAVE to get it done"  

The Dentist also was able to save all three teeth and avoid doing any root canals.  Saving me thousands of dollars and lots of pain.  The support staff assisting in my procedures were good too.  I was there for 3 different days and each time the person helping was just as good as Dr Safarian.  I cannot remember all the names of those doing their jobs but no one let me down.    

After the work was done in each step, I was followed up with personally.  Calling after hours to be sure I was not in pain and felt good about all things.  It was truly first class.  When has a dentist called you after each appointment to be sure you do not need anything?  I would never expect this to happen after a cleaning but I did have a lot of banging going on in there and he wanted to just be sure all was good.  I appreciated it.  

Again, your dental experience has as much to do with you as it does them in many ways BUT this dentist does care.  He does want people leaving feeling good about his work.  He knows his work is a reflection of his ability when you leave the chair.  He did go above and beyond for me.  I appreciated it.  He does have VERY grand plans for what I can do to really get my mouth into proper shape but I considered that a service and awareness.  I cannot afford $30,000 in work on my mouth but if I could I would not hesitate to go here.  Yes, my mouth could use some work and no, I have never been a meth user.  It is amazing how quick $30K in dental work can add up.  I just have soft teeth and a lot of very old filings and such.  He identified for me what "could" be done but did not have to be done.  

In the end, he is a cosmetic specialist and wants people to get as much as they can out of their chompers.  I respect that.  He also wants your mouth to be in as good of shape as it is and in the right steps.  I cannot afford the "BIG SHOW" but he did not force me to.  He just let me know what we can do when and if the time is right.  

To him and his staff, thank you.  The extra efforts, circumstances and communication were a big difference from the countless other times I have been in a chair.

I would defiantly recommend this place to anybody looking for a dentist.  Dr. Safarian is very professional and honest. He gave me a complete evaluation and came up with a plan to get my dental health back on track. He made me feel comfortable and the atmosphere is really relaxing. I had a great experience and I highly recommend!!!

From my first visit to Dr. Safarian's offices, I have been impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. His staff are friendly and extremely competent. The office is beautiful and contains state-of-the-art equipment and amenities for the patients. Being relaxed, comfortable, informed and completely confident in the care you are receiving, is not something you hear very often about a visit to the dentist. Dr. Safarian explained all of my options, showed me before and after photos and answered every question that I had, prior to outlining a treatment plan. I have always been a fearful patient because of an intolerance to local anesthesia. Knowing this, Dr. Safarian, took extra time and care to ensure that I was comfortable and at ease. All of my procedures have been painfree, with absolutely incredible results. I am so proud of my new smile, that I literally can't stop smiling. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Safarian to my family and friends.

I have been going to Dr. Safarian for over two years and he is very professional and reasonable.  I don't worry when I am in his hands.
