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.

The doctors at Solana Smiles are fabulous. They take wonderful care of you and they care about how you are doing. I sought out Dr. Cordonnier; she had been at another practice where I met her and moved to Solana Smiles. She was fantastic and I wanted to keep her as my dentist. The extra drive is well worth it. I highly recommend them.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review and recommendation! We’re grateful for your kind words about Dr. Cordonnier and our team. It means so much that you make the extra drive to see us, and we truly appreciate your trust in Solana Smiles!
