Lynn Smith

I was always terrified of going to the dentist. As such, I didn’t go the the dentist as much as I should have. Fast forward 30 years, and now I was having multiple issues with my teeth. I finally decided to do something, and went for a consultation at Solana Smiles. I found Dr Vakili to be very warm and friendly. She made me feel comfortable, and thats saying a lot considering my past negative experiences. I wound up having implants with full upper and lower arches. It took a little over a year for everything from the initial temporary arches to the permanent ones. We experienced a few minor issues with proper fit, but throughout the process, Dr Vakili kept assuring me that they will make it right. She did, and I’m grateful for her professionalism and perseverance to get everything perfect. I now have beautiful teeth and I’m so thrilled with them. I’m so thankful to Dr Vakili and her wonderful staff.

Response from the owner:We are overjoyed to hear about your experience! Thank you for trusting our team with your care.
