Ali Aldabe, DMD:
Dentist Profile Page

I haven’t been to the dentist in over 20yrrs because I had a bad experience but Dr Aldabe is an awesome dentist that cares about his clients and he takes great pride in his work. I was treated like family and respect and all his team that work for him are such amazing people that really value your opinion. Thank you all for making my. first visit so comforting and stress free.

I had a great experience today! Staff is so very friendly and I just love the vibe here. Dr. Is funny, knowledgeable and very professional. I haven’t been to the dentist in awhile and was a bit nervous but that all disappeared once in the office. I have a treatment plan in place and will return in the coming weeks for completion.

Dr. Ali is great! I had a tooth that needed to be pulled. Turned out more difficult than normal (I’m lucky that way). Dr. Ali was took the time to make sure I was comfortable & got it done. He also has a great membership plan for those of us without insurance. Very affordable with excellent customer service.

Wow what a gem I have found in this little neighborhood!! Super friendly and professional staffs, and Dr. Ali is knowledgeable and not pushy about a treatment that’s not necessarily a must for the moment, he’ll explain all the options available for me to decide. I took my daughter here today and I was so impressed that I scheduled my cleaning here. Recommended!

My wife and I have had excellent experiences at Clairemont Mesa Dental Center. Dr. Ali Aldabe DMD, is an outstanding dentist. He is very professional, highly skillful, very pleasant. Dr. Ali listens carefully to his patients and explains everything in details for any procedure done. Everything is organized and clean. His staff is very friendly, cheerful and very helpful. We are very happy and grateful to be taken care of by Dr. Ali and we highly recommend him and his Dental Center.

A lot of people remember staff by calling the staff, but when I receive incredible customer service – I always remember every staff by name. Laura was incredible, she was attentive from the get-go, with sweet nature in tow, I felt at ease despite being at a dental office. She didn’t judge me when I had multiple concerns with my teeth & even went the extra mile to talk about experiences she’s had or her kids with similar experiences, which put me in the right headspace. I would have come back just for her. Dr. Ali was the highlight of the experience, as he gave me a detailed rundown of what a cavity filling entailed since this would have been my first. They broke down costs without overcharging or like my previous dental office, put a different amount with my insurance than the estimate they gave me. Dr. Ali truly gave me the platform to not only be a dental patient but to address my concerns & have a say of what goes on in my mouth without pushing for things that I didn’t feel comfortable with. Like I mentioned, my previous dentist in L.A. overcharged & gave me insane recommendations without working through specifics or slowly getting me to a place of comfortability. Here, I felt like I had plenty of options without feeling intimidated & I felt like the treatment plan would truly help. I definitely would recommend my friends/family to come here.

I knew the day would come when Dr. Block would retire and I wish him all the best. I could not be more pleased with his choice to continue his practice. Dr Ali is awesome! He has great communication, explains everything and gives choices for treatment. But even better are his clinical skills. Starting with the injection and throughout the procedure I didn’t feel anything. He is thoughtful, courteous and concerned with the level of comfort. I had an excellent visit and feel very comfortable with him as my new dentist. I will highly recommend Dr Ali to my family and friends. Please give him a chance to be your new dentist. You will be glad with your decision. Dr. Block once again came through with his choice for Dr Ali to take great care of all his existing patients and hopefully new patients who are looking for a caring and skilled dentist!!

I love everything about the Clairemont Mesa Dental Center! The super friendly staff, highly trained dentist and hygienist. Dr Ali Aldabe and hygienist Danielle are very caring, thorough and professional. They treat you like family and make the experience very comfortable and fun. After the x-rays, we went through all my options, and the work that needed to be done. I am looking forward to improve my dental health through the recommended treatment plan. I’m very impressed by the entire dental team at the Clairemont Mesa Dental Center. I strongly recommend this office, if you are looking for a professional and trustworthy dentist.

e customer focus here is impeccable. I have nothing bad to say regarding my first visit. From start to finish, my experience was nothing short of positive. Laura, is amazing! She’s the receptionist and dental assistant. She has the best customer service I have ever experienced. I’m not even just saying it to be saying it. She even made me question my own service I provide to my clients. I love the energy she put exemplify and it inspired me to be different towards the people I interact with at my work. I felt very welcome and grateful for the experience. Dr. Ali, also exceeded my expectations. Usually when I visit a dentist, the doctor rush through everything. The conversation is little too none and I feel like just another number. I didn’t feel like that any at this office. What I was most impressed with by Dr. Ali was his active listening skills. He really listen to what I wanted and his presence was very calm and genuine. He took his time cleaning my teeth ensuring that he could get them white as possible. I was pretty adamant about having white pearls and he delivered. He’s cool. I’m very much grateful for my experience and I will be making this my permanent office for dental work. You can not go wrong with this office.

I rarely review on Yelp, but as soon as I left the office, I knew I would have to! Hands down, this was the best dental experience I’ve ever received. I received two fillings today, and I can still say that — if that’s not saying something, I don’t know what is! They have a really kind and knowledge staff that make you feel comfortable and happy right from the get-go. I left feeling more knowledgeable about dental care and more motivated to take better care of my teeth for the future. I recommended this practice to all of all colleagues, so I hope you get a lot more folks your way soon! Thanks for the awesome experience!

Dr. Ali and Danielle the dental hygienist provided excellent service to me. This is my first time to visit there as a new patient. The receptionist welcomed me with a big smile and asked me to fill out a standard form. Very promptly and punctually Ms. Danielle the experienced hygienist took me to a room for 1 hour dental cleaning. Danielle was courteous & friendly, making sure I was being comfortable during the procedure. In another dental clinic I have been treated with only a 45 minute cleaning session instead of 1 hour. Ms. Danielle was very meticulous to clean with well over one hour service even though she told me my teeth condition is pretty good. Dr. Ali was genuinely professional & extremely knowledgeable about dental health. He answered every question that I had. Later I found out Dr. Ali was the youngest doctor when he graduated from his class in Chicago because he was academically so advanced. As a result, even though he looks young, he has already have several years of practice. I’m very satisfied with Dr. Ali’s service and his staff members. Best of all, Dr. Ali’s office offers Membership Program with one fixed payment to cover various services for the people who don’t have dental insurance like myself. I’m so glad I saved lots of money today.

As someone who is terrified of the dentist, with multiple scarring experiences, I LOVE this dentist. The staff is always super nice and understanding! Dr. Ali is the best dentist I’ve ever had. He listens to me and my concerns, and is very honest. I trust what he tells me and know I’m in good hands going here. Highly recommend! Honestly I can’t recommend enough, especially if your nervous about the dentist! The vibe here is just so much better then anywhere else I’ve been. I even switched insurances specifically so I could go here, which is telling. You won’t be disappointed.

One of the very last places where you’ll get the genuine down to earth patient care that’s so sparse these days! Incredible staff, very friendly and professional. They called to confirm my information and insurance before I even came in, and were ready for me as soon as I walked through the door! Thank you for making my dentist appointment so pleasant!

I really appreciate Dr. Ali and the clinic staff. Danielle is a great hygenist, very sensitive to her patient. I highly recommend her. Dr. Ali is thoughtful in his approach to recommendations. I never feel that he is suggesting anything that is not necessary. Please make an appointment and find out for yourself!

Cracked a tooth, was awful and extremely painful so i made an appointment at Clairemont Dental Group. Staff were VERY friendly and professional. Dentist was phenomenal as well. Best dentist experience I’ve ever had (I typically hate going to the dentist). FINALLY found a dentist that I will continue to see regularly.

A total 180 from my last dentist. Amazing, and I will be leaving my old dentist that gouged my insurance benefits to gladly be Dr. Ali’s patient. Dr. Ali fixed a filling that had been improperly put in and uncomfortable. He also took the time to explain things to me and be the one to provide care, this is what I want, I want the person giving me my care plan to be hands on and involved. The last place just threw me to their network of specialists and let me find for myself with their plan. Dr. Ali is Grade A at his craft and I am happy to have found a great dentist, and I want to be there as Dr.Ali grows and improves his practice. Story before coming here: Looks can be deceiving, my last dentist has one of the nicest facilities and equipment around, their care is as shallow as their looks. Last week my “filling” from my last dental care provider came out, it was the 3rd time since I had the filling. On top of this, numerous times I was told I needed procedures by my old dentist that ended up cancelled the day of due to the specialist saying the care plan was wrong and I didn’t need the procedure. I didn’t even know who my actual dentist was at the last place, I just saw different people every time like I was taking myself into a dealership mechanic for maintenance. This one filling had been put in 3 times before I gave up. I won’t be going to my old dentist, they get a grade Z for their care and name.

Dr Ali, and Danielle (Dental Hygienist) are truly wonderful. They are able to ease my anxieties. Danielle is thorough and gentle, Dr Ali is as well and always checking on my comfort levels. Additionally Dr Ali was so informative with my twin boys. At 12 years old brushing daily has been so difficult, but after seeing Dr Ali, they brush every day and actually care about their oral health! This practice has a family feel charm, with the upmost professionalism. Even if I move out of state, I would consider traveling back twice a year for my dental work. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!

Because my regular dentist is thousands of miles away, I decided to see Dr. Ali for proximity, and this has proved to be the best thing happened to me in 2020. Having awful experiences with all the different dentists out there, I was quite afraid to go to any dental clinic. But Dr. Ali brought my mind at ease, and might I just say he is swoon-worthy. My appointment was on time, there was no excessive waiting which also minimizes my contact. Dr. Ali is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He is a very down to earth person and always explains everything thoroughly in simple language without using any confusing or difficult medical terms. He truly listens and prioritizes patients’ needs. I have an irrational fear of pain, and Dr. Ali ensured my experience was painless. After the procedure, he also guided me on how to take care of my teeth properly. The staff is very courteous. The place is immaculate and looks clean inside. Everyone follows standard COVID prevention measures, and I feel safe there. I was incredibly lucky to have found Dr. Ali, and now I recommend him to everyone around me.

this dental office is not only conveniently close but the hours of operation are helpful for the working community as well. from the very start the staff is friendly and helpful. the dental care is superior to say the least. the conversation and humor of the staff makes my visits even more enjoyable. my insurance found you but our choice to stay is because of how we are treated.

Dr. Aldabe is AMAZING!!!! I’m such an anxious patient, and I was fresh off a couple of bad dental experiences. I needed a filling fixed, and three new fillings. I was super nervous, but Dr. Aldabe made the experience so nice. He’s patient, he answered all of my questions and put my mind at ease. And the man is a wizard with a needle, I was so numbed up and the shots were no big deal. And he was able to fix all four teeth in one go, which I so appreciate. The staff is incredible too. I love this place, and I’ll be going to Clairemont Mesa Dental for as long as I live in San Diego. Seriously, if you’re anxious I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
