PATIENT REVIEWS

After researching dental offices, my husband had his appointment and he stated I understand why SDDS Dental is 5 stars. Definitely friendly, great customer service and the best dentist he has been to. Had a great experience with Dr Safaei, he answers all your questions and listens to you and your concerns. His dental office is very clean and he has high tech machines. Can not get any better than Dr Safaei.

Haven’t been a patient there, but I just called with a question about if they accepted my dental insurance because I have tooth ache. The man that answered was so helpful and kind even though they don’t accept my dental insurance. He was super helpful and said his office could see me and just bill me as a cash patient if I wasn’t able to find someone to see me that accepts my insurance. Much more helpful than any of the other places that I’ve called today. Such a nice guy

This office is very nice. There are cute books to read in the front (Keep calm and carry on, Screw calm and get angry), and the new patient paperwork was conveniently highlighted for me. I was seen quickly, and the doctor explained everything very well. I haven’t had any work done yet, but Dr Safaei was entertaining (I liked his robot impression). I did get my cleaning today and everything went smoothly. It might be a bit soon to say, but I think I’ve finally found a dentist I’m happy with.

This is so far the best dentist I have had.  The whole team are great, very personal, friendly and totally down to Earth.  This is not a big corporation, nor an insensitive chain of business, I did not feel like a number for my dentist but I felt that he cares and they try to accommodate to my needs and situation.  They are not pushy at all such as previous dentists that I had before, and they have a great system to email and text me to remind me and confirm  my appointments.    I got a root canal as never before, no pain, no suffering and quite fast. Their lab made a great crown and Dr. Navid was precise and knowledgeable. I was impressed how easy he made it look,  because I know from experience how difficult it can be.   Two fixings in my crawn after trying and it fits perfect, in less than 30 minutes I was done with a perfect comfortable crown, only 2 visits for my root canal. They are also great with insurance issues.  Thank you

This dentistry is by far the best I have ever been to. The staff are professional and very caring. The doctor made sure i was comfortable the entire time i was getting a filling and that means a lot to me since I’m always very anxious about going to the dentist. He even joked and made me laugh quite a bit! I love this place!

I used to hate going to the dentist, like with any other person, there’s the underlying fear of pain with every dental treatment. But with SDDS dental, there wasn’t any fear, it was a connection I experienced. Dr. Safaei really knows what he is doing. He explains each procedure in meticulous detail, establishing a great bond of trust. He follows up the development of his patients, and he makes sure that his clients get the utmost care for their teeth. He is a perfectionist, he maintains a very reliable staff, and uses only state of the art equipment. I had deep cleaning, teeth bleaching/whitening, extraction, filling, and veneers. It was a big decision, but I knew that I was in great hands with Dr. Safaei. From the receptionist, to the dentist and his assistant – everyone treated me more like family than anything else. I actually look forward to every visit because I know I am truly being taken cared of by the best dentist in town. After the entire process was completed, I still cannot stop looking at my teeth many times a day. I feel more confident about myself. Dr. Safaei, I want you to know that I love the beautiful smile you have given to me. It really means so much to me, and I’ll never forget your dedication and kindness. Your personal touch goes a long way, I can’t stop smiling and taking selfies 🙂 – Erwina Melendez

Dr. Safaei and his staff are wonderful to work with. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a few years, and he made no comments at all regarding the fact that it had been awhile. My first visit went well, and he gave me all the information and costs associated with the work I wanted to have done. All work has been completed as was discussed and at the exact costs. I have no problems going to the dentist – and I have had a few that were not very good ones, however Dr. Safaei is always considerate and pays attention. I’ve not had any residual effects from any treatments. I would highly recommend SDDS Dental to all who are looking for a great dentist and staff.

Best dentist ever. I usually have a hard time going to the dentist mostly because they won’t wait for the numbing stuff to work but not here they let it work and actually care if you’re experiencing pain very gentle . Very clean office wouldn’t go anywhere else SDDS dental is amazing if you are looking for a dentist I’d recommend at least checking them out

Dr Safaei is one of the best dentists that I’ve ever had, and his staff are amazing. I have been absolutely terrified of going to the dentist since I had a horrible experience as a child. The first time I went to see him I had avoided the dentist for a few years but was having pain in one of my teeth and couldn’t avoid it any longer. When I first arrived at his office I was shaking and crying out of fear, he immediately did what he could to put me at ease. He was patient and sat with me until I calmed down and even told me that he wouldn’t start any work until I was calm and settled. That attitude of gentleness and calm has continued in every visit. He goes out of his way to make sure that I’m comfortable and not afraid. Now after seeing him for a few years I don’t even get nervous when making an appointment, because I know I will always have a good experience. I absolutely recommend SDDS, especially if you’re afraid of the dentist.

One of the best if not the best dental experiences I have ever had. Dr. Safaei was very thorough, made me feel calm even though I’m a very anxious patient. He explained everything very well, and did not push me to do anything I didn’t feel comfortable with. His office was extremely clean and very high tech, at the same time you feel very comfortable and cozy. The staff was extremely professional but very nice to talk to and highly approachable. I would highly recommend again.

I am so happy with the results I received from Dr. Safaei in just 3 short months. I was feeling discouraged after visiting a couple of orthodontist around the Bakersfield area until I found SDDS. The first thing that made me commit was he asked me what I wanted. How I wanted my smile to look. What was my goal in getting ortho work. None of the others asked me that, they Just took x rays and told me what I needed. I explained that I had braces and broke my retainers a year ago and I just wanted my top teeth to be straight so I can feel confident with my smile. After a few months of Invisalign and some bonding on a couple teeth, I am completely satisfied with the way they look! I am planning on getting more work done and don’t think I can trust anybody else now!

Too often in today’s society is thoroughness overlooked when it comes to healthcare. Dr. Safaei took the time to answer all of my questions and was very thorough in his response. He and his staff were extremely polite and delivered a quick and well executed service. These types of attributes go a long way in easing the horror of the dreaded dental chair! SDDS dental is the way to go!

I’ve been a patient at SDDS Dental for a little over a year now. I decided to visit after reading the countless positive reviews from both Yelp and Google, and I am SO glad that I did! Dr. Safaei and his staff are the best in town. From the moment you walk into their office, you are greeted by Cassandra, who is very friendly and easy to talk to. Joe and Dr. Safaei are funny and friendly during each visit, while still being professional. They play relevant music as well which helps make the experience more enjoyable. And on top of all that, they are all extremely accommodating! There have been many times where I have shown up early, and if they are available, they see me right away instead of making me wait for my appointment time which I greatly appreciate. Invisalign: If you are thinking of getting Invisalign, I highly recommend Dr. Safaei for your treatment. I came in with severe crowding, and a year later, I am very pleased with my smile. The process went smoothly, and you can even choose your own payment plan. Just look at my before and after picture! 🙂

No more dreaded dental visits!  I just came from my appointment and I can honestly say I couldn’t have had a better experience. First, their website is fantastic. I was able to take a tour of the office and fill out my forms ahead of time. There was no wait when I got there…I was taken back at precisely my appt time. Dr. Safaei was super friendly (as was his staff) and professional. I’m new to the area and I’m so glad I found this office.

All good things, all good things! Never thought I’d see the day where I actually look forward to going to the dentist. Everyone is so nice and really makes an effort to make you feel comfortable during your visit. I just started my Invisalign treatment and look forward to future appointments and the process that will get me to where I want (my teeth) to be! 🙂

I’ve had my share of bad and good dentists, and I can confidently say I had a great experience with Dr. Safaei and his staff. I’ve been there twice now and each time I’ve had fillings. While ordinarily this is not a pleasant activity by any means, Dr. Safaei made this as painless as possible. I will happily go back again for filings and dental work.

I LOVE GOING TO THE DENTIST!!!! When was the last time you said that? Prior to meeting Dr. Safaei I had never uttered those words. I can honestly say he has made my dental journey a VERY pleasant and even, dare I say it, fun time. His staff is also very friendly and very welcoming. They facility is very clean and loaded with high tech gadgets. They were even able to work around my busy schedule and had evening appointments to meet my needs. I cant’ thank him enough for all that he’s done for my smile. If you are looking for a dentist…GO TO SDDS DENTAL!!!

I had an amazing experience with SDDS Dental, and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs dental work done. I never had the best teeth, and always felt self conscious about my smile. I decided that Veneers would be best for me . After a free consultation with Dr. Safaei, I scheduled an appointment with him. Dr. Safaei and his staff are professional,efficient, and the procedure was painless. I now have the smile that I’ve always dreamed of.

Being afraid of dentists after several bad experiences with a number of dentists…that’s me! BUT….Dr S. Put me at rest in no time. He explained my procedure, made me feel confident in his ability and I left feeling well cared for! Thank you Dr & staff! I broke a front tooth off at the gum line…he extracted it basically without any pain & put a screw into my gum…again slightly uncomfortable with anxiety but no physical pain. Thank you Dr. S for being confident in your profession. Thank you for having a sense of humor…you made my experience very comfortable.

SDDS dental is the way to go!

I have to start by saying that my experiences here at SDDS was well above my expectations. From the initial phone call to make the appointment and throughout both visits to the office. Dr Safaei is an amazing dentist. I’ve never had a good experience at a dental office so I was nervous initially but from the friendly front office check in to my x-rays that were quick and painless to meeting Dr Safaei, my nerves were put at ease. It was actually enjoyable! Who says that about a dentist appointment?! I do! Now that I found SDDS. Almost sounds like a commercial but thats how pleasant my experience was. Thank you to everyone there. Before I end this I have to admit that I was shaking my head at some of the ignorant reviews and the untactful inaccurate character reviews. If I scheduled a cleaning at a dentist that has never seen me before and he didn’t want x-rays and an exam it would worry me. Does he not want to know and understand what’s going on in my mouth to better assist me and give me the best possible treatment? Dr Safaei does! And truly if he wanted to make more money off of me as some accusations that i have read… he could have! Instead he gave me good advice and left the decisions for me to contemplate. Thanks again to Dr Safaei and his team as they are equally important to my overall experience.

SDDS Dental rocks!! Dr Navid Safaei is an awesome doctor! His staff are professional and always kind! Shout out to Joe and Cassandra! Did my Invisalign treatment here and what an amazing journey! I was totally please with the results!!! Couldn’t be any happier!! Anyone trying to look for a dentist office this is the place to go!! Yea!!

I always have a great experience with SDDS Dental. The staff are very courteous and professional. Dr. Safaei and Casandra always make me feel welcome and are quick to help me with any dental problems I have. Plus it’s usually a very fast experience which is great if you have a busy schedule. I would recommend this dentist to anyone.

I’ve been going to see Dr. Safael for a while since moving into town and he’s never really disappointed. Nobody really likes going to the dentist but getting my checkups here have been a painless experience. I go here because he seems to have extensive knowledge about implants, so I’m sure he can handle the little things I need attention to even better. The dental center is also welcoming and he always maintains professionalism so I’m a long time customer here.

A+… Dr. Safaei and team are excellent! The office is very clean and modern and doesn’t have a clinical feel to it. I felt at ease and assured that I was in good hands.  I don’t have the easiest of work schedules but SDDS Dental has been more than accommodating to my scheduling needs for this I am very grateful!  Dr. Safaei  was very efficient and attentive. I never once felt as though  my procedure was rushed like some of the previous offices I visited in the past!  Bedside manner by both dentist and assistant was very pleasant and helped relieve my dental anxieties a bit. I’m very satisfied with this dental office  and I’m so glad that I  decided to give it try!

Very comfortble office. They make you feel very comfortable and don’t push or pressure. They go the extra mile to explain everything and make sure it’s explained. The girls working there are very nice and definitely help you with the insurance and all the questions. I have been to several dentists in town and this office has met all my needs. Looking forward to my next apointment. Never thought I would say that.

Came here because of the positive yelp reviews. Was not dissappointed. They were prompt, courteous, and professional. They checked my insurance before my visit and I had all the paperwork filled out from their website. I was seated quickly and took the necessary xrays. Digital xrays are a huge plus for me because they hurt less. Dr. Safaei saw me (I think he’s the only dentist thankfully). Atmosphere was professional and fun. Yes, dr. Safaei and the staff actually make it enjoyable. The assistant was very pleasant and the front girl was very helpful. Needed a lot less treatment than I expected. Only two fillings and a regular cleaning! Hadn’t been to the dentist in three years. Win! Got it all finished same day which was another plus. Overall very positive experience. Honest, fun, pleasant. Lets hope no cavities in 6 months!

I’m usually really nervous about going to the dentist because I’ve had some really bad experiences before. As a result, I’m incredibly picky with my dentists. But, armed with new health insurance and the hope that the reviews on Yelp were correct, I went to SDDS Dental for a checkup today. The whole experience was fantastic. Everyone on the staff, from the receptionist to Dr. Safaei himself, was so friendly and incredibly professional. They were able to do x-rays, a cleaning, and two cavities in an hour and a half (which is great for my complicated work schedule) and the work was flawless. Dr. Safaei never seems rushed and always took time to answer questions or listen to concerns about my teeth. I had some strange issues with my teeth and he never seemed annoyed with my questions or dismissive of my concerns. I can’t say enough about how much I liked Dr. Safaei’s team as well. They were both very friendly and the receptionist even took the time to schedule an appointment with a specialist for me. It was just one of those little “extras” that made the experience really nice. Suffice it to say, I have definitely found my long term dentist! I will be sending anyone else I know there as well.

Awesome! Got all my work done here and was very happy. Wouldn’t go anywhere else! After being to most offices around me I’m sticking to this one. No Pain at all. very comfortable. The office made it easy for me to make payments with them because I had a lot of work. Will go back for some cosmetic work I’ve been wanting in a few weeks. Would highly recommend!

I always have such easy and stress free appointments with Dr. Safaei. The office is very clean and relaxing– not like an average dentist office. I find that this helps me relax and not get so nervous. I never find that my appointments are rushed and Dr. Safaei does not leave me for long periods of time. I am always pleased with the work– very effective. Overall, I always have a positive experience and I highly recommend!

I was VERY happy about my results! I had chipped both the front of my teeth due to eating ice so I immediately made an appointment here & had my teeth fixed quick!They came out amazing & I couldn’t be any happier. First time patient here & Dr. Safaei along with the staff were so nice! This will definitely be my permanent dentist for sure!

I’ve been going to Dr. Safaei for over two years while I was living in Bakersfield and he and his staff are nothing short of great.  They were super helpful, kind, and responsive to anything I needed or had doubts on.  I actually was recommended to him after another dentist messed up some dental work and my bite was severely altered.  He was able to fix it and make my bite feel like before.  Highly recommend him!

Hands down the best dentistry in town. Dr. Safaei is truly one of a kind, he is kind, compassionate, and truly cares about his patients and the quality of his work. I have had some pretty major dental issues and bad experiences at other dentists leading to extreme anxiety but Dr. Safaei and his staff always make me feel comfortable and like I am in great hands. I’ve had many laughs in this office which is not something I ever thought I would be doing at the dentist! Dr. Safaei takes his time and never makes you feel like just another patient he is pushing through. They always take time to make sure I understand my plan of care and have even followed up with me after procedures just to make sure I was doing ok. The front office staff is always friendly and welcoming when I come in for my appointments. I am very grateful I became a patient of SDDS and will continue going there for all my dental needs. Thank you SDDS!!

Dr Safaei is really kind and patient. I had an appt at 12PM today and they let me know I could go in at 11:30AM. I got my x-rays done but the only downfall was that Dr Safaei told me that I wasn’t able to get 2 of my 4 wisdom teeth extracted because of he doesn’t put patients under. The reason for my 5-Star reviews is because he was completely honest and didn’t try to take the business away from someone who could just do all the work and take less time. I really appreciated that. He answered all my questions and was very thorough with my teeth cleaning. Everything in total came out to 45 minutes of my day and nice clean fresh teeth! Thank you so much! I will see him and the ladies in August for my cavity fills…
