I don’t even know where to start about Dr. Basti and the staff .. This is by far the best dentist I have ever gone to. Just to start off Veronica and the rest of the staff is always smiling and so happy every visit which makes every appointment a pleasure. Veronica is always going above and beyond to accommodate to our family, making sure we are happy. The team work at this office is amazing it’s more of a family atmosphere. As for Dr. Basti I cannot express my appreciation and gratitude in words . She is the very best dentist I have ever had. She has done lots of work to my teeth and they are perfect. I get complimented on a daily basis because of her amazing work. I have three children and all three love her as well.. She is always smiling and able to make everyone comfortable from myself down to my youngest who is five years old. Dr. Basti not only is she a pleasure to be around, she is also the most knowledgeable dentist I have ever had. She is straight to the point in getting the needs met and never trying to add extra unnecessary procedures. Having a husband in the military we will not be here in San Clemente forever but My three children will be coming back every six months to this dental office . I will never see another dentist as long as this office is open . Thank you all for all you do for myself and my family

I love Nina. She is very kind and really cares about you and is overall just an extremely gifted dentist and pleasant person! Her staff are as well! I have had 2 cleanings here and 2 crowns. I believe she’s as gentle and slow (if you need it) as possible for a crown process. (I mean you are getting a crown and sometimes as an adult you just have to “buck up” and deal with what you have to deal with.) her crows are just beautiful! And they are able to be X-ray through to see what’s going on inside your tooth after! My other crown was not like that, so glad Nina replaced it! My children have all gone here as well for cleanings and one got an expander with Nina and she was always so nice and encouraging to my child and now she has a better smile for Nina’s work! Thank you for making an environment that makes coming to the dentist a relief!

There are no words to describe how much my family and I appreciate Dr. Nina Basti and her staff for all of their kindness and work. They have helped us thru a dental infection to tooth extraction to mouth guards! Their level of expertise coupled with the care they put in have literally left my kids constantly asking when their next appointment is! I moved out of the area but refused to switch to a closer dentist because this place is worth the drive!

Connie C. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr Basti & her staff are wonderful, I rarely waiting more than a couple minutes from the time I check in, till I’m brought back to the exam chair. They are very concerned with patient comfort if you need to have ‘work done’. (Like my crown- which was made right in the office- no dealing with a temporary crown!) I would highly recommend this dental office!

★★★★★

Wonderful dental experience.
The staff is amazing. Attentive, communicative, and caring.

Sheila S. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I had a great experience here getting a new crown and a deep cleaning. Dr. Nina Basti worked on my crown and was a perfectionist throughout the entire process. My deep cleaning was all done by dental hygienist Suzanna who by far my favorite staff member there. Such a sweet, friendly and personable woman. With Suzanna’s personality, the welcoming smiles from the reception staff and Dr. Basti’s sweetness, Id say it was a 5-star dental experience. Very warm and welcoming. By the way, you leave the office with a flower!

Laura Y. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

What an amazing dentist! Dr. Basti is so friendly, energetic, and her office is state of the art. Dr. Basti genuinely has the best interest of her patients in mind vs. maximizing her profit. We are on a tight budget and she lets us know which procedures are necessary and which can wait. Our whole family goes to Dr. Basti and we highly recommend her!

Susan O. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Basti has become my husband’s and my favorite dentist. She is a professional with heart!  Her skills are amazing, her kindness is refreshing, her staff is wonderful and her concern and understanding of our fear of anything having a needle or drill involved is sympathetic and painless. How very fortunate the people of San Clemente are to have her working in our city.
We trust her and thank her for her dedicated service, beautiful smile, heart and great staff.  

Jeris M. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Nothing but RAVE REVIEWS for Dr Nina Basti!!!  From being treated as if I was a member of the family, to making sure I was not in any pain, to receiving my Crown in less than 2 hours.  I was beyond impressed with the technology used at this office.  The entire staff was happy, Dr Basti made me feel so welcome and relaxed, her kindness, compassion and professionalism are like nothing I have ever encountered at a Dentist office.  One of the best experiences at a Dental office ever!!

Anne Marie M. from Woodland Hills, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I can’t recommend her and her staff high enough. Very professional operation and skill. All staff is considerate and friendly and I get the best dental care. I actually felt like I was at a spa. That’s a good detail office!

★★★★★

I had gone to (the previous owner) 40 years ago. Nina has taken over the practice and is excellent. I have tried other dentists in SC and do not trust any of them always upselling you and charging more and more. I have no insurance and Nina treats me very fairly and I trust her. Awesome same day crowns!

Kathy W. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Basti and her husband (also Dr. Basti) were so gracious to see me within an hour of my calling for an emergency! They were both so kind, caring, communicative, and competent. I feel very fortunate to call them my dental team !

★★★★★

Love Dr. Basti! She and her staff are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. My husband and I have been going there since we moved here a few years ago. They all make us feel comfortable and relaxed!
Dr Basti makes sure that you have no pain during a procedure and she makes sure everything is perfect when you leave.
The office always sends a reminder text a few days before your appointment, which is so helpful!

Crystal H. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr Basti is both welcoming and professional. I actually enjoy going to the dentist and I always leave with a smile (a bright smile at that)!! I have referred many friends to Dr Basti and they have all loved this office. I give 5 stars for the overall visit. I never have to wait long, prices are good, professional care and I have never had them mess anything up (unlike my last dentist at a different office).

Emily D. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I absolutely love Dr. Nina and her crew.
I wish I could come in everyday because she is so uplifting and so sweet! She has the best staff and I couldn’t ask for better people to help me with my teeth!
She always makes sure I have no pain and knows what to give me to where I can still nurse my son after I’m done!

Crystal Psyduck (Source: Facebook)

★★★★★

It’s always a good experience for myself and children (aged between 2 and 9). Dr Basti is wonderful.

Tricia D. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Basti makes you feel comfortable and is good at what she does! Just finished a round of Invisalign and couldn’t be happier. Megan at the front desk runs things so smoothly and you can tell the whole staff takes pride in their work

Stephanie E. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Nina has done many dental procedures for our family. She and her staff are very knowledgeable and skilled. We like how she explains her procedures and is very pleasant. Nina’s office has some of the latest high tech dentistry equipment. Her practice is very upfront with with procedure costs. My husband’s last crown was completed in 2 hours painlessly.

★★★★★

My whole family goes to this dentist. They are excellent with children! The staff is very nice and they always see me promptly when I arrive. I would HIGHLY recommend this dentist.

Kristen B. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I’m so happy i found Dr. Nina Basti’s office. She is so sweet and cheerful and really knows what she’s doing. The staff is super friendly and the office is very clean. I dread going to the dentist but Dr. Nina is the best! She doesn’t hurt a bit. I’m sad that I will be moving in a few months because I don’t think I’ll be able to find a dentist as great as her!

Heather S. from San Clemente, CA  (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

My children and I are all seen at Dr Basti’s office. She is so sweet and really amazing with all of us. Megan is very polite and understanding and the hygienists are also great. My youngest has a lot of fears with her mouth and Dr Nina is always so great with her, taking breaks and keeping her calm. Love them all!

Fran D. from Carlsbad, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

If I could stop by every day I would….I love this entire office THAT much.  Dr Nina is the kindest, most gentle and competent dentist I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with.  I’ve had several crowns and they made the entire experience more than tolerable.  Nina found I was grinding my teeth and fitted me with a night guard that had to be adjusted several times.  She did it with a smile and never did I feel like I was a bother.
From Meghan at the front desk, who is as beautiful inside as she is on the outside to the hygienists who accommodate my temperature sensitivity, I am more than pleased- I’m delighted!  I have driven from San Diego to San Clemente every three months for the past 5 years for this wonderful team!  I absolutely LOVE them.

★★★★★

The staff was phenomenal all the way from the receptionist, to my hygienist Kathy, to the Dr. herself. I’m on vacation and lacking free time. I ended up needing some serious attention to my teeth ASAP. This place bent over backwards to help me squeeze in the schedule and get it done. They do awesome work, they are super welcoming, and genuinely care about their patients. I am very grateful I found this place, even under the unfortunate circumstances and bad timing. At least something good came out of it!

Brooke B. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Nina Basti is by far the best dentist I’ve ever been to. She is very good at what she does and easily puts nervous patients at ease. Her staff is very professional and kind, and they do their very best to accommodate convenient appointment times. They have even helped hold my 5 month old baby while I was getting a cleaning! (She woke up from her nap)  I have recommended Dr. Basti to family and friends, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality, professional dentist.

Josie F. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Basti and her entire team are so wonderful. Their customer service and patient care is top-notch.  Every single person is who works here is so friendly.   If you are looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Basti and her team!

★★★★★

Have been getting excellent dental care here since 2004. The entire staff is there to provide you with the best service possible. I highly recommend them!

Jessica W. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

My daughter, Brittyn and I have been going to this dental office a little over 4 years and both of us have had great experiences. Walking in the staff greets us by name and are so welcoming. It’s never a long wait to be seen and most times they see my daughter and myself at the same time which helps tremendously so neither of us have to wait on the other and can continue on with our day. We’ve been seeing Dr Nina since she joined this office and couldn’t be more pleased with her. She’s gentle, thorough, sweet, funny and puts you at ease while you’re in the chair. I, myself, have always hated going to the dentist but Dr Nina and the entire staff makes it not feel like the “dreaded dental visit”. I recently moved 30 minutes south of the office and refuse to find another place even if it’s closer to home. Highly recommended!

Jan K. from Dana Point, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Polite, helpful, understanding and I usually never have to wait very long (Unless an emergency comes in!)
Stop being fooled by fancy offices-Dr Basti’s and her staff are simply the BEST!!! You don’t need to go and look anywhere else!!!!

★★★★★

Best dentist I’ve ever been to! Incredibly friendly, professional, and great at what they do. They explain everything to me, and never overcharge me. Could not be happier!!

Dave W. from Lake Forest, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr Nina Basti is a fantastic dentist I’ve been with a guy dentist my whole life it’s great to finally have the soft touch of a woman telling me to keep my mouth open. first time that’s ever happened. Lol.  Great staff great atmosphere thanks for my white teeth Dr.  Basti.

James M. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I recommend Nina Basti to everyone.  When I have an dental issue that is bothering me, they always find a way to get me into the office quickly.  Dr. Basti and her team make sure you fully understand the upcoming procedure options, help you make the best choice, and show you what is going to happen next.  They make sure you are pain-free and comfortable at all time, and instruct you on how to communicate with your mouth wide open.  I feel like I am collaborating with her and her team on everything right down to the color of the crowns.  Dr. Basti is very skilled and confident in her abilities, and I know that the job will be done correctly.  I trust her; pure and simple, and I recommend others to do the same.

I needed to change dentists so I looked up Dr. Nina on Yelp. The reviews were much higher than the dentist I have been seeing for over 10 years, and she was located in the heart of old San Clemente on Del Mar Ave. From the moment I walked in it was like a breath of fresh air. Everyone was so polite, welcoming, and personable. I had a broken molar and I knew I would need a crown. I felt like she did excellent work, made sure I felt no pain, and the price was more than fair. I know I’ve found my new dentist, and I’m already telling family and friends!

Andrea Weber (Source: Facebook)

★★★★★

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Basti and her entire staff! This gal does not love going to the dentist one bit and has a bit of anxiety in doing so. Dr. Basti has an amazing bedside manner and a beautiful personality that make you look forward to dental visits. I am leaving the area next year and am sad to go because I know that I will not find an establishment as amazing as this team. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!! I would recommend 100 times over!

★★★★★

Best dentist office ever been to. The front staff is great and always so friendly and Dr. Nina Basti is an amazing dentist. She’s so friendly and understanding when it comes to payments and affording dental care. I will be sad when I have to move one day.

Melissa S. from San Clemente, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr Basti and staff were excellent. They were gentle, friendly, and very good at what they do. I had to get deep cleaning and wisdom teeth pulled. They made an unpleasant experience as nice as it could be. If you’re looking for a dentist or need some work done, stop in or call their office today.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR

Welcome to our website! I am Dr. Nina Basti, a family and cosmetic dentist committed to providing you and your family with personal and professional dental care. I chose a path in dentistry for several reasons. I enjoy the personal lifelong relationships that are created in my profession, the trust my patients put in my hands, and the benefits I provide in the health and confidence in their smiles. Following my undergraduate studies at USC, I completed my dental hygiene. After few years of private practice in a celebrity office in Brentwood area and teaching at USC Dental School, I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of dentistry. I graduated from USC Dental School on 2005. I've been practicing in Mission Viejo for the past 8 years, and was very lucky to meet Dr Brian Rice and to join him in my new "home away from home" in San Clemente.
