Dr. Safarian and his staff are great! They present you with all the information and choices available to you without any pressure at all. A previous dentist made me feel like I was at risk to something potentially bad by not getting my wisdom teeth out ASAP, but Dr. Safarian showed me all the X-​rays and went over everything thoroughly to show me everything I needed.

This office lives up to the Name! I can’t help but to smile before I walk in and on my way out the door. Every single person that worked with me was outstanding, not just at their jobs but as people. Dr. Safarian is the most conscientious and knowledgeable dentist that I have ever had. He checked regularly to make sure that I felt 100 percent comfortable before he moved on to each step. A normally terrifying and anxiety filled experience ended up feeling more like my teeth just got back from their own mini day spa. Thank you and your staff for a 5 star experience every visit! I Highly recommend Dr. Safarian and his staff.

I recently moved from the East Coast and was recommended to go to Dr. Safarian by my doctor in Pittsburgh (whose patient I was during 15 years). And I really glad I I got this referral!
Dr. Safarian, Dr. O’Brien and all the stuff, including front desk, hygienists and nurses, are highly knowledgeable, professional and caring. Doctors always explain what needs to be done and why, they are approachable and considerable. The front desk receptionist Maya is very cooperative, she always make you feel like you obtain a special personal care.
Office is very nice and very well maintained, and what is most important — equipped with the modern technology used with knowledge. I am grateful for your work and definitely will recommend Dr. Safarian’s practice to everyone!

Big Thank you’s and much gratitude to Dr. Safarian and his lovely staff for taking such good care of me at Irresistible Smiles. Such a warm lovely calming experience for me. I’m a bit shy when it comes to going to the dentist :(
Dr. Safarian welcomed me with such grace and such a gentlemen. I appreciated his care and professionalism. The office is lovely and so was his staff. I am new to SD and now have my new dentist. Very happy to have found Dr. Safarian and Irresistible Smiles :))

I just became a patient of the Irresistible Smiles team about six months ago and it’s been a great experience! I had one of the best cleanings EVER by Jamie and Dr. Safarian is top notch! He has a great personality and only the best technology. I don’t even like to see all the photos he takes because they are so clear and showed how not so perfect my teeth really were. Not to worry after a couple appointments my mouth is in tip top shape. They really are great! Let me make a special note about Mayya in the front office! She’s really good at her job. I’m super difficult to nail down on schedule and so is my fiancé but she’s got us both taken care of every time and even some last minute cleanings just before our wedding. I’m so glad to have found Irresistible smiles and will be glad to be a long term patient! Dr. Safarian and his team are great professionals with great attitudes and service!

I originally met Dr Safarian years ago when I bought the groupon to get my teeth cleaned, x rays and whitening. He is and has been my dentist since then! Poor dental hygiene runs in my family and I am cavity prone. The Doc helped me with all my cavities and got me on a dental plan that has helped me have a healthy mouth since then and almost cavity free! All the Hygenists are great and I feel like they really take care of each and every one of my teeth! Super nice staff, clean and modern facility.

Dr. Safarian and his staff are terrific! I’m always a big chicken when it’s time to go to the dentist, but I feel at ease when I visit this office. Dr. Safarian is great at explaining the work that needs to be done, and showing you digital images of your teeth so you can see if for yourself. No confusion there — I can see the cavity or issue.
I’ve had procedures ranging from a simple cavity fill to a crown lengthening, and have come through with ease. No pain at all, and great results. The Dr. and his staff have also worked with my insurance to make sure the maximum amount of coverage is applied.
On top of that, he’s just a nice guy and it’s an overall pleasant experience. I highly recommend this office!

Highly recommend! Dr. Safarian takes calls personally and has called me back without delay to answer questions on several occasions — even those which don’t produce any revenue for his office. He spends time to explain my options so that I can make an informed decision and is upfront about costs and careful to try to ensure that insurance will cover any work to be done. He and Dr. Rastogi have both saved me thousands by being honest about services I didn’t need but which my last dentists recommended. I’ve noticed that the entire office is very focused on providing the best possible customer service and is always working to earn my business. Truly pleased with how honest, friendly and capable they are. Definitely the best health care provider I have ever encountered.

By far one of the nicest dentist I have found in San Diego County. Office is clean and staff is very friendly. I even had an issue with my billing and they were able to resolve it for me. I would highly recommend them.

In the past, I hated dentists. I think everyone generally does. You often spend more time with the hygienist, and when you ask questions, they tell you the dentist will go over it with you. And when they do, they spend 5 minutes in the room with a vague answer.
This is not the case with Dr. Safarian.
I was reccomended by a dear friend of mine, who always knew I was self conscious of my teeth. And I am extremely thankful for this referral, as this is probably the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Dr. Safarian spent a lot of time explaining the conditions of my teeth, how it affects me, what causes the issues, how to treat them, the tools he uses and what they do, and preventative measures. He was patient to answer ALL my questions. I’ve spent more time talking to him then I ever had with all my different dentists combined. (I moved a lot.)
His team consists of very caring and passionate people; they are all very sweet — and they all seem to take pride in what they do. They aren’t mean nor rude, but they also won’t sugarcoat details about your teeth– because that leads to negligence and cavities… figuratively and literally. The hygienist took the time to share with me how I can improve on my upkeep, pointing out certain areas to focus on.
I feel each and everyone of them has my best interest at heart for strong and healthy teeth to come. I have a clear roadmap of what needs to be done, and strong evidence and explanation after sitting down with him. I absolutely am excited to have recently met this team, and for once I look forward going into my visits. For the first time in many years, I’m confident in my dentist– I trust him, I’m confident in my appearance and health, and I’m finally confident to wear a smile and laugh without covering my mouth with my hands.
Thanks Dr. Safarian and team. I can’t wait for my next appointment.

I have gone to a lot of dentists over the years. Irresistible smiles provides a combination that I haven’t seen in any other office or heard about from other people for that matter:
1. Skill level of Dr. Safarian, which is unmatched
2. Fun and relaxing office experience
3. Non-​pushy, so you don’t feel like you’re paying for services that you don’t need
4. State-​of-​the-​art equipment, techniques and comfort tools
I highly recommend Dr. Safarian and his team to anyone who is considering dental services and/​or looking for a new dentist!

Beautiful office, friendly staff and a great doctor with a lot of experience! I gave doctor safarian a two month deadline to transform my smile with ten veneers as I wanted my smile to be perfect for our wedding pictures. The whole process was smooth and painless. I’m usually a nervous wreck at the dentist but dr safarian and his staff are great at helping you relax. It also helps that they have TVs installed on the roof of each room, helps you to keep your mind off what’s going on. I’m thankful to dr safarian as I love my smile! My husband and I will be seeing dr safarian for any dental needs and will definitely recommend him to friends and family. Thanks team, keep up the great work!

Will your insurance cover the work? I used a well known major corporation’s company dental plan and still paid thousands out of pocket due to procedures falling outside of my policy.
Advice: If you do choose to go to this dentist, please be sure to check with your dental insurance provider to ensure that they will cover any prescribed work. Also, recommend getting a second opinion on any significant dental work they want to perform.
Cons:
— They gave me porcelain onlays for a couple cavities, which ended up costing me a couple thousand dollars out of pocket since my dental insurance would not cover the cost. Insurance stated that there was a lack of sufficient damage to warrent anything more than fillings.
— They urged that I needed additional procedures (deep cleaning, laser cleaning, and antibiotic implants below gums), which I declined. According to my new dentist, I have clean healthy teeth and would not be a candidate for such procedures.
Pros:
— Very nice clean hi-​tech office
— Staff acts professional

Best dentist ever.
The office is very nice with friendly staff. I had major dental work done like root canals, crown lengthening sugery and there is NO comparison to my previous dentists.
Totally patient focused and Dr. Safarian is an exceptionally skilled dentist. He explains everything.
Believe it or not I actually look forward to going to my appointments… so relaxing.
This must like the spa my wife goes to… no facials here just dental.

Dr. Safarian is a pleasant man. He is very straightforward, makes you feel comfortable and welcome. I experienced great service while I was here. Initially, I found him through Unilocal,as his office pops up on the top category when you search for an all-​around dentist.
You will also notice as you enter office, the many accolades he has achieved — all hanging on his wall in his up-​scale feeling receiving area. His dental assistant is equally delightful, along with his admin secretary Jennifer, all a very great team who make you feel at home and welcome.
His office is very technologically advanced, he utilizes the state of the art technology with examples like dental scopes that lively show you a zoomed picture of the condition of your teeth, before and after the procedures, digital x-​rays so you don’t have to wait for the curing time of old-​fashioned film, and dental software that organizes your file very well.
I had 2-​root canals and upgraded porcelain in-​lays of which he had an auxiliary dentist come in during my scheduled visit-​Dr. Obrien, who was also very professional and pleasing to have as an aux dentist for my root canal procedure.
The thing I like about Dr. Safarian is he truly strives for the best. I can definitely say this isn’t the cheapest place to go, but the quality of his work and the materials he use to for the corrections in the flaws of your teeth seem to somehow balance it. If you expect a cheap dentist or mediocre work, I suggest you look for someone else because he is the type of dentist to straight-​out refuse to use inferior materials such as silver and proudly claims the same. He does explain to you why and the benefits of the same. I can say this is a good thing for the people who can afford it. I guess you can say you get what you pay for. I’m looking forwarded to my upgraded porcelain inlays to last for a very long time. (hopefully).
Dr. Safarian is also very understanding and has worked with me for my financial needs regarding the total treatment. Unfortunately I have had years and years of bad dentistry and much money paid for such bad work prior to– so I’m glad I finally have someone who knows what they are doing and one of the best. Thank you Dr. Safarian.

Dr. Safarian was really nice and easy-​going.
They use high technology with TV’s on the wall and ceiling — you even to get to choose your own TV show to watch.
I used a $ 75 for $ 50 Unilocal deal for zoom whitening.
The only problem was that this whitening is the worst pain you can imagine.
I only did 2 of 3 (15 minute) procedures because the pain was so bad, and it didn’t go away for another 24 hours.

I visited Irresistible Smiles about a year ago, via a Groupon, for Zoom Whitening. The staff was so very friendly and kind. It was my first time having my teeth whitened and I have very sensitive teeth. The staff took time to fully explain everything and check on me to make sure that I was doing okay. Even now twelve months later, my teeth are still whiter that when I went in.
I recommend Irresistible Smiles and Dr. Safarian to those that are looking for a genuine dentist and a wonderful facility to have their teeth worked on.

I had not been to the dentist in a little while when I went to see Dr. Safarian for the first time. We came up with a plan for the work that I needed and set out a timeline that worked with my budget.
His team is always friendly and I have never felt rushed. I also love that I get emailed reminders that it’s time for a cleaning! One less thing I have to think about. :)

Dr. Safarian of Irresistable Smiles gave me a wonderful gift — he gave me a beautiful smile.
I am so pleased with Dr. Safarian and his work. Not only is he extremely skilled and knowledgeable in his field, he is compassionate and caring and has your best interest in mind. I have never found all of those qualities in any one dentist and I am extremely satisfied now that I have found Dr. Safarian.
At Irresistable Smiles, the staff is professional and polite. I always feel taken care of during my visits and the anxiety that normally occurs at any Dr’s office is almost nonexistent here. Thanks to their high tech equipment, a beautiful office, and t. v screens in every room, you know they work really hard to make your experience a positive one. Most importantly to me is the quality of work, and Dr. Safarian shares the same desire to give you quality by providing you with the most advanced and latest technologies, materials, etc in the industry.
Another important aspect is cost. And although I have insurance coverage — I do review my statements and I am always pleased that they bill fairly here. I have been to other offices where I have been over billed or billed more than the services that I have received. It’s never the case here which demonstrates their honesty and fairness to their patients and services rendered.
And lastly — Dr. Safarian makes you feel like you are just as important to him as a patient as he is your Dr. Whenever I have concerns, I can email him directly and be rest assured that he will respond to me, always in a professional and caring manner. With my worrisome — perfectionist personality, I think I appreciate this the most. I do need to be able to feel that I can communicate openly — and Dr. Safarian really advocates for this.
Going to the dentist is rarely a pleasant experience, but I truly feel it is here at Irresistable Smiles.

I loved everything about my first visit. Dr. Safarian and his staff went out of their way to make me feel at home and at ease. I was extremely impressed by the quality of their customer service, generosity, professionalism, cleanliness of their facility and advance technology. I also appreciate the extra effort in explaining my insurance benefits and what it will cost/​save me… like I said, I felt at ease. :) I have been raving about this place since I left… I highly recommend Dr. Safarian and his team for any of your dental needs.
Thank you very much to all the staff at Irresistible smiles!
