Tracey Ross

This place is amazing! I got the all on 5 dental implants a year ago and I love them. Everyone is so nice, they are always available to answer any questions. Right after I got them put in I had a question for the dentist and I texted her at 10pm expecting that she'd get back to me the next day. But to my surprise she texted me back within minutes. That is why I chose a smaller business not one of those chains. They treat you like family and actually know who you are. I highly recommend!!

Response from the owner:Tracey, thank you for sharing this wonderful feedback and recommendation. We are delighted your all on 5 implants have gone so well and that our team’s quick, personal care made you feel at home. Hearing that you feel treated like family truly encourages us.

Carole Serling

Dr. Vakili and her staff at Solana Smiles & Implant Center are arguably the best at what they do.....great care and expert ability to rebuild one's bite and produce beautiful crowns that last. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my dental improvements. Plus, Jessica, one of the dental hygienests, is wonderful and has cleaned my teeth for years with excellent, lasting, shining results.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Carole, for your wonderful review and for trusting Dr. Vakili and our team with your dental care. We are delighted to hear you’re pleased with your bite reconstruction and the long-lasting crowns.

Rodolfo Fanelli

5/5 Stars – Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Azita Vakili! I cannot express enough gratitude to Dr. Azita Vakili and the entire team at Solana Smile and Implant Center. Getting upper and lower full-arch implants is a huge decision and can feel overwhelming, but Dr. Vakili transformed what could have been a nerve-wracking process into an incredible, life-changing journey. From my very first consultation, Dr. Vakili stood out for her exceptional skill, absolute professionalism, and genuine compassion. She took the time to explain every detail of the procedure, answered all my questions with remarkable patience, and made sure I felt completely comfortable, safe, and informed every step of the way. Her expertise and precision in implant dentistry are truly top-tier. The results are beyond anything I could have hoped for. My new smile looks completely natural, feels solid and secure, and has restored my confidence in ways I can't even put into words. Being able to eat, speak, and smile freely again without hesitation is an incredible gift. The warmth, cleanliness, and state-of-the-art feel of the office, along with the outstanding care from the supportive staff, made every single visit a pleasure. If you are considering upper or lower dental implants, do not hesitate to trust Dr. Azita Vakili at Solana Smile and Implant Center. She is a true artist and a compassionate practitioner. Thank you, Dr. Vakili, for giving me my smile and quality of life back!

Scott Dveris

I went today to finished the crown and implant they had been working on. I have pain in another tooth that’s already had root canal. Before I have another tooth extracted and implant put in, which is very expensive, the dentist made some recommendations for Less invasive and less expensive options to try. I like how she was proactive, thought out of the box, and did a great job of explaining and educating me, so I can make an informed decision.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review. We are glad our dentist offered less invasive options and explained them clearly so you could make an informed decision. We appreciate your trust and are happy the crown and implant went well. We are here to support you with any future care.

Marquis Cagle

Everyone here is an absolute angel of mercy. I was living in pain for over 35 years, completely miserable and hopeless and they were the only ones that gave me a chance and worked with me when NO ONE else would, they literally saved my life.. And so kind and caring and helpful. I’m pain free now, no more dark cloud following me around, no longer ashamed to smile or laugh or speak, no longer looking in the mirror and hating myself and it’s all thanks to this team of professional angels, I can’t thank them enough, I’m so grateful I walked through their doors… If you’re reading this you know exactly what I’m talking about, do yourself a favor and end your search here..

Response from the owner:Thank you, Marquis, for the 5-star rating! We’re thrilled you had a great experience and appreciate your support. We look forward to serving you again soon.
