Dental veneers are used as restoration tools to improve the appearance of the frontal teeth. Also called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates, they are wafer-thin tooth-colored shells custom-made to fit the frontal teeth. Kids might love everything about Halloween, but for dentists, the thing kids love most about the holiday is scarier than any horror movie: a bag filled to the brim with tooth-rotting candy.

Edited to fix voice-to-text typos: I could not have better things to say about this dentistry! It's very easy to get to. And then when you walk in you, are transported to this fun, glam surprise in the middle of Clairemont, complete with upbeat music and a Toto toilet in the bathroom. The entire desk staff is very welcoming. I found Soft Touch when I was searching for teeth cleaning on google so I had no prior experience or referral. My cleaning went great EXCEPT I needed a root canal from a prior tooth repair that hadn't taken. Dr. Noris was very matter of fact about the root canal

Long story short I've relocated to another state but when I came back to fix my teeth, Dr Ali and the soft touch team took great care of me. They provided excellent service and was patient and made me feel like they truly cared about my wants for a perfect smile. It has been a journey and I just want to thank them for going above and beyond to make me happy. I wish nothing but plenty of blessings for Soft Touch . Keep up the great work

What a glamorous dental office!
I've passed by Soft Touch Dental throughout the years since it's nearby but I only went in for a visit this past week! I actually first heard about Soft Touch Dental a few months ago from social media! I saw a photo pop up on my feed for this practice and when I checked out their account, I saw that some social media influencers go here like Ariel Tejada (Kylie Jenner's makeup artist) and Lilly Ghalichi (aka Lilly Lashes) who is my idol! I was surprised that they were local and really close to me! Since I just switched dental insurance providers recently

I went in for my six month cleaning and was thoroughly impressed with the precautions that the staff at Soft Touch Dental are taking to ensure safety. Upon your arrival, you have to call before entering and they give you the go ahead within 5-10 minutes to enter with a mask. From there, go directly to the bathroom to wash your hands and mouth wash along with filling out a form to ensure you haven't had symptoms of covid lately. The staff is always super friendly and the office just went through a whole remodel and it's a very nice facelift. Highly recommend!

I never really liked going to the dentist until I found this one. I mean I REALLY like this place.
You walk in... Stunning Lobby. It's not just a Waiting Area with some seats and old People's magazines scattered on a table. It's elegant, it's gentle, it's warm. It feels as if you're the guest of honor in Oprah's home for Sunday dinner.
Usually any office will ask you to arrive 15 minutes early for your appointments. I show up 30 minutes early because of how nice this lobby makes me feel when I sit in it.

2 years of great service at Soft Touch Dental and it's no different during COVID-19! They made sure no one was gathering in the waiting room, asked me to use hand sanitizer and rinse my mouth when I walked in, and they installed doors for each appointment chair space for privacy, safety, and a calming atmosphere. Edna, the hygienist, is a rockstar!

This was my first visit post COVID and I was very impressed with the lengths they have gone to make their office safe and compliant. When I arrived I called to let them know I was there. They had me wait in my car for a few minutes until they had a space for me. When I walked in the office I was immediately sent to the restroom to wash my hands and gargle with an antiseptic. My temperature was taken and I was asked several health questions prior to being taken to an exam room There are barriers all Around the reception area as well as doors on all the exam rooms. All the staff had masks on

Covid safe! All rooms had their own closed door so I felt ok taking off my mask when I settled into my own room. Walked in with my mask on, washed my hands and cleaned my mouth, got my temperature taken and was placed in my own room. Even my X-rays were done in my very own room. The only thing I was worried about was making sure my insurance would still allow my cleaning to be done twice a year vs every 6 months.

Hi there! I went to Soft Touch Dental's office on Clairemont Mesa today (after Phase III of COVID-19 reopening...)
The office was extremely clean. Sheryl, the office manager, is amazing! Super-responsive. This was my second appointment, and I have two more to go. The first was in January, prior to businesses closing.
The office is taking more precautions than are mandated for post-COVID reopening, which made me feel more comfortable. Only one person is allowed in the waiting room at a time; mandatory hand-washing, mouth rinsing, temperature-checking, and COVID-19 questioning are required

I just saw Dr Fakhimi on KUSI news and want everyone considering going to Soft Touch Dental because it's open during the pandemic to think twice.
I had a terrible experience where Dr Fakhimi advised me to do serious dental procedure (which cost $6k) and did not provide me with alternative options. When I provided my x-rays to another dentist they said it didn't look like I needed any work at all. My insurance company performed an investigation and found his office charged me for medication that I never received and when they requested he refund me he refused. I have nothing good to say

I feel bad even writing this because his staff was very kind, but I just think people should know and be aware of dental practices like this. Always get a second opinion.
I just moved back to San Diego from LA and while I was living in LA I visited the dentist every 6 months. When I moved to San Diego I went into Soft Touch because it's down the street from my house. After examining me Dr. Fakhimi told me that I needed serious dental work. My gut was telling me this wasn't right, my previous dentist never told me this, and I wasn't having any serious issues with my teeth.

I visited San Diego last month! And while I was there my buddy Antonio Ayres took me to soft touch. Since we live at the Gaslamp Quarter, soft touch was a little far from there. It wasn't much of a hassle however, as there was plenty of parking available.
These guys are top notch. Super efficient! Everything is always explained well and the insurance coordinator goes above and beyond for you. The last dental office I had gone to a few years ago would constantly mess up on the billing it was beyond frustrating. They set me up a payment plan that made it affordable. Long story short it&apos

Stay away from this place!
I started going to this practice to have some fillings done. Dr Ali then told me that I need a bridge and a bunch of their work done resulting in about 12,000. When he ordered the bridge, it was a completely different shade of white that I had picked out. Of course it was too late now since it had been already placed in. Within a few days I went back and told him that I felt very uncomfortable. I explained to him that it felt lose and I could feel cold liquids going underneath the piece.
After waiting over 45 min for my appointment that I had arrived for 10 min early
