The Gentle Dental Smile Plan is perfect if you don’t have dental insurance and offers significant savings. The plan has no waiting period, involves no paperwork, and covers all pre-existing conditions.

I am devastated I just learned dr Neema is gone. I am on vacation in another state and fractured a tooth so I was looking up the number to call and ask dr neema what to do, when I read that he left to the Bay Area. I hadn't even received any notification of his leaving. I have alway been terrified of dentist , until Neema. My first visit with him was the first time I did not require anti anxiety meds at a dental appointment, and have not needed them since. ( because I only see him). Now I have a broken tooth. Massively painful and no Neema.... the good news , my vacation just so happens to be in northern California maybe he could fit me in at his new place??? Why wasn't I informed of his pending departure? So... not happy about the communication practices, but your office has hired at least 2 outstanding dentist, so I have hope you will do it again, and the office staff and dental assistants have always been very nice. So there's that.

This is a really great dentist office. Always willing to work with my stubborn husband, I'm probably one of their easiest patience. My son hated dentists and never wanted to see one again after his last experience but after being seen here he has no problem with them.

I have always had a good experiance with the dentist and all but one of the dental assistants ...the environment is friendly and not as high strung as some of the other offices I've been to. Also most the time I do not feel any discomfort after the novocaine wears off from the fillings I received. They also were able to match the resin filling perfectly to my natural tooth color. You cant even see the filling, which hasnt been the case with other offices. Over all very please with this office. I was very sad to find out both my dentist and the other dentist in the office were moving :( I am hoping the new dentists will be as good...This is also one of the only dentists iv found who will do more then one filling at a time and will book me for 2 hour apt. Since I am on ohp many of the other offices refuse do do more then one at a time and are in a rush to get to cash paying patience.

I love this place. They have a warm welcoming atmosphere, they are attentive to your needs, and the dentist that I always see is wonderful. Some places treat you differently because you have OHP, but this is not one of them. A++ Service as far as I am concerned. They are my primary and I would recommend them to anyone looking for great attentive customer service.

I'm a "senior citizen" so I've been to many dentists. I had to have major work done and so I went there and had the best dental experience I've ever had. I was treated by Dr. Nimah Asfari and his assistant Jamie, and treated very well. They were patient, informative and never dismissed my worries or my pain. If you're afraid of going to the dentist, I recommend you go there.

My first experience with Gentle Dental about 3 years ago would have been a 1 star rating (not so gentle on the teeth cleaning) but they have a new staff and I am glad I decided to give them another try. Kayla was the most courteous and gentle dental hygenist Ive ever seen. Thanks for the generous rinses and suction! Dr. Nima Afsari has a nice demenor, and he did a great job finessing my wisdom tooth out, and its healing great!, He is the tooth whisperer!!!
