Thank you so much, Marta! We’re thrilled to hear our team addressed your concerns and made you feel well cared for. We appreciate your trust and look forward to providing excellent care whenever you need us.
Fantastic experience: 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.
We are overjoyed to hear about your experience! Thank you for trusting our team with your care.
Fantastic experience: Dr Vakili, Dr Lela and Dr.Cordonnier plus the entire staff at Solana Smiles and Implant Center are The BEST ! I reside in Las Vegas and fly back n forth every 3 months for my cleaning and check-up I love the the professionalism that everyone shows me each time I'm there. Not to mention the beautiful office and the cleanliness! Very relaxing yet upbeat atmosphere. The BEST ! So worth the extra travel! Look at Dr Azita Vakili's Instagram page. You'll see me in a video "flaunting" my new beautiful smile!!!

Fantastic experience: 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.
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!
Fantastic experience: I came to see Dr. Vakili about a year ago and not only found the best, most patient, understanding, doctor, but also an extraordinary doctor. She knew that the work on my mouth would be a challenge, but she also knew that she would be able to help me. What an amazing doctor. A year later I look like a different person. I couldn’t stop smiling and I still can’t. When I go into the clinic I’m still greeted like family. The office staff know me and remember everything about me. They great me with a smile and compliments. Even when I don’t need Dr. Vakili’s help she always comes out and greets me with a smile. The people in the clinic make me feel like a family member. Since having implants done is a very personal thing, it is important that you feel comfortable at the place you are doing it, and at Solana Smiles & Implant Center you will feel comfortable.

Thank you, Walter, for choosing Solana Smiles and for sharing your experience. We’re delighted your major dental work went flawlessly and that Dr. Vakili and the team provided competent, pleasant care. Your trust and recommendation mean a lot to us.

Fantastic experience: There always great with me! Good people!
Thanks so much, James! We’re thrilled to hear our team has been great with you. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to serving you again soon.
Positive experience: I don’t believe it’s appropriate to have to pay upfront for future dental services. I was told I needed 2 crowns at a cost of over $4,000. When I was making the appointment, I was told I needed to pay upfront. When I questioned it, I was told I needed to pay at least half. I’m used to paying for services when serviced are rendered.
I’m sorry our upfront payment policy caused frustration. For larger procedures like crowns we require a deposit or partial payment to reserve lab time and materials, which is why you were asked to pay half at booking. We understand many patients prefer paying at the time of service and offer flexible options including payment plans and third‑party financing to help spread the cost. Please contact our billing team at the office so we can review your estimate, insurance coverage, and available payment arrangements.
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience here. Jessica (my hygienist) is awesome, always thorough and always very pleasant. Everyone here is also very friendly. The facility is always clean and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Ian — we’re so glad you consistently have a great experience with Jessica and our team. We will pass your kind words along to Jessica and everyone here. It’s wonderful to hear the facility feels clean and welcoming. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to your next visit.

Fantastic experience: I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Vakili for my single dental implant, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very first consultation, she took the time to explain the entire process clearly, answer all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident moving forward. The surgery itself went incredibly smoothly. Dr. Vakili’s skill, precision, and calm demeanor made what I expected to be a stressful procedure feel easy and well-controlled. I experienced minimal discomfort and the recovery was much easier than I anticipated. What truly stands out is her professionalism and attention to detail. She clearly cares about achieving the best possible outcome for her patients, both functionally and aesthetically. The implant feels completely natural, and I’m extremely happy with the result. If you’re considering a dental implant, you’re in excellent hands with Dr. Vakili. Her expertise, gentle approach, and dedication to patient care make her an exceptional implantologist.

Fantastic experience: I give the credit for my decision to choose Solana smiles to Zsuzsanna at the front desk .I kept calling her with more questions . She always picks up (no recordings) By the time I went in for my surgery , I was completely confident that they knew what they were doing. The facility is state of the art and sparkling clean. I had new teeth the very next day after my “all on four” surgery. Solana Smiles belongs in Hollywood! A movie stars treatment is what I received and I never experienced any pain on any of my visits . Special thanks to the rest of the staff including , Joe, Suzy, and Brian. And of course the Doctors. Special thanks to Dr. Vakili for her expert work ,and for putting up with me. Also thanks to Dr. Chie for her great work as well and for not slapping me upside the head when I bit her finger under anesthesia. Lol. All in all it was a wonderful experience that had me leaving with a brand new SMILE !
Thank you, Rod, for the wonderful review and for trusting Solana Smiles with your all-on-four treatment. We’re thrilled Zsuzsanna’s personal attention and our team—Joe, Suzy, Brian, Dr. Vakili, and Dr. Chie—helped make your experience comfortable, painless, and confidence-building. It’s great to hear you enjoyed our state-of-the-art, sparkling-clean facility and left with a brand new smile (and a memorable story). We’re honored to have been part of your smile journey.

They are kind and considerate, taking their time to properly and carefully care for your teeth and gums, and all oral concerns you might have. They talk you through it, and keep you informed and up to date on what needs to be done and how to care for any procedure you must have. They bend over backwards to help ease the tension and anxiety of any and all who may fear or be uncomfortable with dental care and procedures. I highly recommend Solana Smiles to all who may read this and promise you will not be disappointed. =)

Fantastic experience: Very professional and thorough with the diagnosis. Was presented with a very good and exact explanation of what would be best for my dental needs.
Fantastic experience: I had an implant consultation at Soft Touch Dental office on 1/22/2026 (yesterday). I had such a pleasant experience with the staff named Kia (Dental Assistant), and the office manager Sheryl, that I feel compelled to leave a 5 stars review. The office is stunning, super clean and organized, and the 2 ladies and a doctor (too bad I forgot to remember his name) I met are super friendly and patient with me by taking time to take X-ray and answering all my questions.

Negative experience: This is the worst awful humiliating disrespectful Implants center experience that i had with calling her self a Azita Vakili D.M.D Solana Smiles & Implant center, she's wants you to right a good review about here Implant Center, this is my experience with her in poway location. My treatment was starting on January 16,2025 costs 12,000 dollars, first they were friendly to you, after about 3 months still my Implants was not ready. It came to about 6 months still my Implants was not ready again, I'm seated inside of her clinic with other doctors and assistant and she came humiliated me telling me about my balance , i was so shocked and embarrassed, i been paying her every month that's supposed to be installment payment right? I do realized this people are not professional they are unprofessional, Sonia the receptionist she's called me that my Implants was held against me, because they want the balance payed off first before I'm getting my Implant it almost one years now 2025 .

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with my cleaning at the Poway location. Dr Vakili and her team were attentive, knowledgeable, and caring.
Fantastic experience: Everyone are very nice , friendly, professional and helpful .excellent ❤️
Fantastic experience: Did the 'all on x' procedure for my upper arch, and the whole process was absolutely fantastic. I was afraid of not doing the nitrous during extractions, but the alternative was just as effective. The extent of pain I experienced was the bruising in the cheeks, but was gone within 24 hours. I've had little to zero discomfort through the whole process. Will absolutely be back to do the lower arch. The staff was all around excellent as well.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Alex! We're thrilled to hear that your 'all on x' procedure was a fantastic experience and that you found the pain management effective. It's great to know that our team made a positive impression on you as well. We look forward to welcoming you back for your lower arch soon!

Fantastic experience: My son, a college student from out of state, was in severe pain after his wisdom teeth extraction we had done in our home town a couple of weeks ago. Dr. Cordonnier , Dr. Vakili and team member June were able to see him the same day I called. I am extremely grateful and thankful for their professionalism, kindness and level of communication they gave my son. They really helped this out of state mom feel at ease! I HIGHLY recommend Solana Smiles & Implant Center.

Fantastic experience: Had an emergency, Solana Smiles seen me on a short notice. Put togeather a plan and expedited an appointment within 5 days. Looking forward to a new smile with the professionals. Reasonably priced, in the office for 20 min. Doctor quoted on the spot, no hassle straight to busniess. She was extreamly delicate and professional.

Fantastic experience: After many years of severe periodontal disease, I was told the only solution was full implants on top and bottom to restore my health, smile, and confidence. I put it off for far too long because I was absolutely petrified of the surgery. Having struggled with dental phobia and anxiety for years, I knew I needed a dentist I could fully trust—and I found that in Dr. Vickili at Solana Smiles. If you are considering this procedure but are hesitant or afraid, I wish I could tell you what I wish I had known: I should have done this three years ago. While it was challenging, it was far from impossible, and it reminded me how resilient and strong we are when we take steps that improve our health and quality of life. Solana Smiles provided exceptional kindness, gentle care, and individualized support every step of the way. They answered all of my questions, explained the process clearly, and even offered pricing that was better than other places I researched in California. I truly have no complaints—and the outcome has exceeded my expectations. If you’re on the fence, take the leap. You will not regret your implant procedure with Solana Smiles. The results are better than you can imagine.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Kristan. We're thrilled to hear how Dr. Vickili and our team at Solana Smiles helped transform your dental experience and restored your confidence. Your encouragement for others who may be hesitant is invaluable, and we're grateful for your kind words about our compassionate care and support. It's rewarding to know that the outcome has exceeded your expectations. We wish you continued health and happiness with your beautiful smile!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about my experience with this dental office. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and truly cares about your comfort. My dentist took the time to explain every step of the process, which really helped me feel safe and informed throughout my visit. The office is spotless and has a very calming atmosphere. I appreciate the high level of care and attention to detail. If you’re looking for a dentist who makes you feel genuinely cared for, this is the place!
Thank you Stephen. We aim to provide the same care and comfort for all of patients. We really appreciate your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Had a very pleasant visit with Dr. Azita and staff Monday. Dr. Azita truly cares about your oral health. She was honest and upfront about the treatment needed. She makes you feel like family and that is what made me feel comfortable with her doing my treatment. I can't wait to get started and finished. :)
We're so happy to hear that Dr. Azita made you feel comfortable. We hope to continue to make you smile.
Fantastic experience: Very nice, personable, exceptionally competent, professional staff, led by an accomplished dentist (jefe) with decades of experience. Full/complete dental office staffing. Pricing fair. Turnaround on needed dental additions impressively short (they have their own lab). Large, beautifully designed and constructed, contemporary offices, with state-of-the-art equipment. No extraordinarily lengthy waits for appointments. About as good an experience one could expect or hope for at a dentist’s office. Making dental visits is not this senior patient’s favorite activity, but it probably doesn’t get any better than at this one. I recommend Solana Smiles unreservedly and can’t imagine there is a better dental office in SD north county. 5 stars!
Thank you for your fantastic review, Max! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with our team and facilities. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we strive to provide the best possible service. We look forward to seeing you again at Solana Smiles!

Fantastic experience: Just a wonderful experience Everyone is tops in their field New building is cutting edge tech I recommend them to anyone missing teeth.........get them fixed.......you won't regret a single day.........thank you.....
Fantastic experience: I went in for a second opinion and these dentist were amazing! First of all everybody’s super friendly, which is so nice and their office is sparkly light bright, and clean. Everybody was more human and caring than any other dentist I’ve ever been to. I came in for a second opinion and the two Dentist that I saw Both agreed that the first opinion I had from another dentist was a really good one and since their price was lower, I could choose they would love to do it, but they understand and understood if I use somebody else. I would definitely highly recommend them if it’s nearby for you and you need dental work done.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Vakili and her assistant, Suzanne, are awesome! They were both very communicative, clear and concise in explaining my treatment plan, including what I can expect after Dr.Vakili performs my surgery. I checked out several options for the all on 4 procedure I will be receiving, and Dr. Vakili's pricing, professionalism and office atmosphere are leaps and bounds better than the several other dentists and offices that I visited. Top experience and highly recommended!!!
Thank you Darrell. It’s been our absolute pleasure seeing you through this process.
Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience here, the staff is amazing they never make you feel bad and they genuinely just want to help, prices were. Amazing as well, I have multiple sclerosis any have been to LOTS OF DENTIST and was told the all in 4 was not possible for me, and my fear is real, with this office I never felt it was impossible. i had surgery done on September 9th, and virtually no pain I am following the dentist order as well as far as managing pain, and care for my new implants both arches were done, extractions, bone grafting? and so much more done to restore my smile. if you are scared don't be I promise you wont regret this. ty Solana Smiles & Implant Center and staff i am so impressed I posting my videos everywhere to share my experience. thank you again for changing my life office is brand new and stunning
Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome. Great staff, amazing doctor. I’m happy, albeit still a little sore for sure, just had surgery yesterday, but the care they provide is superior. The pain was far less than I expected and I couldn’t be happier- even in the temporary. Time will tell but if this is any sign, we are headed for an amazing outcome!!
