General Dentist | Cosmetic, Dental Implants & Restorative Dentistry | San Diego, CA
With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Pirouz Salehi is one of San Diego’s most trusted and respected clinicians, a dentist so highly regarded by his peers that fellow dental professionals choose him for their own care. In dentistry, there is no greater endorsement. Being known as the dentist’s dentist speaks to a level of skill, integrity, and clinical excellence that goes beyond reputation.
A Philosophy of Form, Function, and Aesthetics
His career has been defined by a singular dedication to mastering the art and science of smile transformation with focused expertise in dental implants, full-mouth reconstruction, All-on-X implants, and high-end cosmetic dentistry. His philosophy goes beyond restoring teeth: Dr. Salehi is deeply committed to the harmony of form, function, and aesthetics understanding that a truly exceptional smile not only looks beautiful but performs flawlessly and supports the overall facial balance and vitality of the person wearing it.
Anti-Aging Dentistry
Central to his approach is anti-aging dentistry a discipline that recognizes how the teeth, bite, and facial structure work together to preserve a youthful, natural appearance over time. As teeth wear, shift, or are lost, the face can age prematurely. Dr. Salehi addresses this proactively, designing smiles that restore proper vertical dimension, support facial contours, and turn back the clock naturally and beautifully.
A Patient-Centered Approach
What sets Dr. Salehi apart goes beyond clinical skill: he listens, he connects, he understands. There is no one-size-fits-all in his practice. Every treatment plan is built around the person in the chair, not a protocol on a page.
Full-Mouth Reconstruction and All-on-X Expertise
His expertise in full-mouth reconstruction and All-on-X implants has given patients who once felt hopeless about their smiles a completely renewed sense of confidence and function. Whether restoring a single implant or redesigning an entire smile from the ground up, Dr. Salehi approaches each case as a master craftsman, blending surgical precision with a refined aesthetic eye to deliver results that feel as good as they look, and stand the test of time.
Collaboration with the Dental Laboratory
A detail that truly distinguishes Dr. Salehi’s cosmetic work is his close collaboration with his dental laboratory technicians. Rather than simply sending off an impression and waiting for a result, he maintains an open, ongoing dialogue with his lab team, communicating the nuances of each patient’s facial features, skin tone, natural tooth characteristics, and aesthetic goals. This partnership ensures that every crown, veneer, and restoration is crafted to blend seamlessly with the patient’s unique anatomy. His cosmetic results are so natural, they’re remarkable only when you choose to share them.
Education and Continuing Education
Dr. Salehi earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of California, San Diego, and his dental doctorate from NYU College of Dentistry, one of the top-ranked dental schools in the country. Over the past many years, he has invested hundreds of hours in advanced continuing education, staying at the cutting edge of implant technology, reconstructive techniques, anti-aging protocols, and cosmetic innovation to ensure his patients always benefit from the best dentistry has to offer.
