Amazing team. From the front desk staff, to our dentist. As a mom I was very happy and I would highly recommend this dental office to other mamas. From the moment we walked in to the minute we left it was an amazing experience. We are new here but based on our first visit it's obviously they care about children's dental health. If you have questions they will seek to answer them. I had a very positive experience at this dental office. The office is clean, modern, spacious, and very welcoming. Everyone I met was friendly, professional, and well-trained, which made me feel comfortable and confident that my daughter was in a good hands.

I had a great experience with Smile Arc Dental Group throughout my entire 18-month braces treatment. My case was a little more complicated because I had an impacted canine and needed to create enough space for a future implant, and I really appreciated how coordinated and seamless the whole process was. Before starting my braces treatment with Dr. Ehsani, I had both of my bottom wisdom teeth and my impacted canine extracted by Dr. Evans in one session right at their office. The procedure went smoothly and my recovery was quick and easy. From there, I proceeded with my braces journey, coming in for regular check-ins every 4–6 weeks. Dr. Ehsani and the entire orthodontic team were always friendly, informative, and happy to answer any questions I had along the way. I always felt like I understood what we were working toward and how my treatment was progressing. What really impressed me was how smoothly everything came together at the end of treatment. The day my braces came off, I was able to go straight into implant surgery with Dr. Salehi and his team, and I even received my retainers that same day. After spending 18 months working toward this, it was really satisfying seeing the whole treatment plan come together. One of my favorite things about Smile Arc is how much they can do in one location. Throughout my treatment, I was able to have my orthodontics, wisdom teeth and canine extractions, implant surgery, retainers, and even regular dental cleanings all done at the same office. Not having to coordinate between several different practices made the entire experience so much easier. Overall, I’ve been really happy with both the results and the experience. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been helpful and welcoming, and I appreciate how efficiently the different teams coordinated my care from beginning to end. I’d definitely recommend Smile Arc, especially to anyone who needs more than just straightforward orthodontic treatment.

I can't even tell you how amazing my experience was with Dr. Salehi at Smile Arc. I chipped and broke my front tooth, and honestly, I felt so insecure about it. It's the first thing people see when you smile. I went to my previous dentist first, and they wanted to do all this extensive work crowns, the whole thing. It felt like a lot. Then I found Dr. Salehi. He was so honest with me. He actually listened to me and walked me through my options in detail, nothing felt rushed or pushed on me. And the cost was completely clear from the start, no ambiguity at all. He ended up doing this beautiful cosmetic bonding, and it looks incredible you genuinely cannot tell it was ever broken. If you're looking for a cosmetic dentist who's honest, skilled, and actually cares about doing what's right for you not just what's most profitable, Dr. Salehi is a 10 out of 10. I highly recommend him as the best cosmetic dentist in San Diego.

Dr. Nikki is, without a doubt, one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring pediatric dentists I’ve ever met.

The office, Smile Arc, is absolutely incredible—beautifully designed, modern, and thoughtfully created for both kids and parents. It feels warm, welcoming, safe, and almost like a second home. Every detail has been carefully considered to make families feel comfortable from the moment they walk in. The entire staff is kind, compassionate, and highly professional. Being able to receive everything you need in one place makes the experience even more convenient. This is truly an exceptional practice that sets the standard for pediatric dentistry. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr.Nikki and her amazing team to any family looking for the very best care for their children.
