Aesthetics & Essentials Dental Group

Dr. Habibi and her staff are awesome. They are very professional and make their patients very comfortable. I used to dread going to the dentist and was afraid of the huge needles that were used to numb me. The first time I went to Dr. Habib’s office (many years ago), I knew she would be my dentist for life. She put my mind at ease, talked to me while she was giving me the shot to numb my mouth. I did not even feel the needle.
Dr. Habibi is very competent, honest and ethical.
I recommend Dr. Habibi to all my friends and family.

Why 5 STARS? Because Dr. Habibi knows how to numb me up with out sticking a 2 foot long needle into my gums. She does a little at a time and that makes me a happy camper. And, I appreciate that she takes her job seriously. My teeth are her teeth. She let’s you know how to keep them doing good and not falling out. :) And that keeps me smiling. I love the staff, they are great. As if they were part of the family. Thanks Habibi Girls!

The staff alone is amazing and bonus great dental work! I love going here and being remembered! The dentist are great and very knowledgeable! Love love!

Yeah… no. I’m pretty upset that I wasted so much time at this dental practice, enduring their constant judgement and rude comments. Every other dentist I’ve had (and current!) has always praised my teeth and seriously bowed down when they saw my floss game. Dr Habibi asked me if I was MALNOURISHED — multiple times! A couple of my moellers are slightly cracked due to clenching (v obvious reason) and she assumed it’s because I have a bone deficiency?
Fast forward to when I felt one of the cracks getting bigger, no one says anything and when I pointed it out, they got all excited and said «yep that’s a cavity we HAVE to drill + fill immediately» when they didn’t even see it initially.
During my filling, they reclined my chair all the way back so that my feet were suspended and all the blood rushed to my head. When this inevitably gave me a painful foot cramp Dr Habibi asked if I was MALNOURISHED and offered the sage advice of taking magnesium. Thx beb! Or, I could just like… not be suspended upside down… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I should also mention that this is my only filling and it’s been almost a year now and it has never felt natural. It’s a rough texture and quite distracting.

Dr Habibi is as professional and competent a dentist as you’re going to find anywhere. My confidence in her expertise is unlimited.
Another reviewer mentioned that he had recommended Dr Habibi’s practice to many workmates — I’m one of them! When a co-​worker mentioned his wife’s unhappiness with her dentist, I recommended Dr Habibi without reservation and called over someone whom I referred to share his opinion. That person pointed out another referral who in turn mentioned that another person in our group is also a happy patient.
Personal preferences vary widely, though. Other reviewers have mentioned that perhaps the equipment isn’t the most modern (it’s certainly modern enough for me!) and that instead of separate patient areas, there’s one main room of chairs partitioned by shelving. If the appurtenances of luxury dentistry are what you require, then Dr Habibi probably isn’t the dentist for you.
However, if what you seek is expert dental care from a dentist and staff who embody what a professional practice should be, then look no further.

After seeing many of dr. Hobibi’s patients with good result with their Invisalign I decided to go back on Invisalign again (previously had inv at another dental office)
I’m so glad that she’s willing to take on my difficult case .
Another bonus is the doc n her dental team are awsome. Very friendly n funny too.
Def should check this place out if your looking into getting Invisalign

I LOVE Dr. Habibi. She is awesome and everyone at her clinic is warm and friendly.
Highly recommend her dental work!

We moved from another state and I needed to find a new dentist. I decided to go here just because this place has great reviewes, locates not too far from my house and is opened on Saturdays. And that is the only pros of this site.
its a tiny place with old equipment. The doctor is runnyning between 3 patients and is too busy to pay full attention to each of them. You can hear what is going on with another patient. No privacy at all. Equipment is very old. The x-​ray has to be taken at least 18 times instead of just one 360degree view. For people with strong reflux, when you vomit if something rather than food touches your inner mouth is crytical. The cleaning device was out of water and was broken.
The doctor is kind of pushy and strongly recommend some procedures. Like all wisdom teeth must be removed even though only one out of 4 had cavities. I disagreed with her and she was very upset. I felt really uncomfortable takking to her. She said i have gum desease, and am too sensitive for cleaning so they prescribe me some treatment and only after that they will do cleaning. But! Before that half of my mouth was cleaned already without any problems. so she said they continue to clean my mouth, then i’ll get the treatment and then in 4weeks they’ll clean my mouth again. Again! Why? Maybe because they need my money? Second cleaning is not covered. The treatment is a antibacterial rinse that i got from them. It says it is used for swallen, red, bleeding gums. I have none of that symptons. So I’ll look for another dentist.
Another thibg that i’ve noticed she tries to be nice and «american». And it is very noticable that she is trying. I don’t like this behaviour when it is not natural. Overall i got an unprofessional experience.

I have to update my review knocking off two stars for what I think could be a serious issue. I really did think my dental cleaning was good at this office– not the best I have ever had, but certainly thorough. No complaints there. The complaint has to do with the diagnosis of non-​existent cavities.
We moved from mountain view to Hawaii almost a year ago. Just before we moved, my daughter and I had teeth cleanings at Dr Habibi’s office. At my cleaning, they told me I had 3 cavities starting– still in the watch phase, but they were going to need attention soon. For my daughter, they said she had 3 cavities needing to be filled right away. They didn’t have openings before we left, and I couldn’t get her into the dentist until just last week (she’s a college student). At the dental appt here, her X-​rays showed perfect teeth, no cavities at all. Same for me. No «watch» areas, no soft spots, my dreaded gum readings were WAY better (all 3s and 2s vs 4s and 5s).
If you do choose to go to this dentist, seek a second opinion should they tell you you need any dental work.
3 stars for good cleanings, but I can not recommend this clinic anymore given the misleading diagnosis of cavities for my daughter. Cavities that need to be filled don’t just go away after a year of college…

I love this office! Dr. Habibi is gentle, caring, engaging and extremely thorough & talented. Her support staff are so wonderful i always leave feeling like i just left a party not a teeth cleaning.

I know Dr. Habibi from last 6 months.
The treatment i get here is like the treatment i get from a friend.
so friendly staff, doctors. if i miss and appointment they remind me and call me to reschedule. i loved the way they treat their patients.

Golgoun Habibi is literally one of the very best dental professionals I have ever encountered. She makes recommendations that are intended to help you maintain your oral health at the highest level for as long as possible. Additionally, her team has been with her for years and are also knowledgeable and caring in everything they do.
Golgoun has come in to her office on the weekends and at night to deal with my crown issues without any complaints. Do you know a dentist who’d do that?!
I’ve been a patient there for around 15 years and I have seen her practice just grow and grow for a good reason — she and her team are just very good at what they do.
Do yourself a favor — go and choose Golgoun as your next dentist!

I never thought going to the dentist could be pleasant or even exciting. My friend referred me to Dr Habibi a few weeks ago and I have been going since. Dr Habibi is so nice and very competent, she knows what she is doing. Her staff are wonderful as well especially Angela, she is so patient and sweet. You can tell everyone at that office really cares about their patients. I am referring everyone I know to Dr Habibi, she is the BEST!

Very happy with the service and work. The clinic is my go to place for dental cleaning and general dental work

As an update to my ¹²⁄₁₆ post:
Dr. Habibi, herself, called me the day after I posted my Unilocal review. We spoke today. I appreciated the call, and it was clear that Dr. Habibi wanted to understand where things had gone wrong with the back-​and-​forth after my appointments. Apparently the office usually has a system where patients receive both a follow-​up call and a follow-​up email after an appointment, and Dr. Habibi said she even lets patients leave her messages on her personal cell.
That is great, however as I told Dr. Habibi none of that happened with me (I only rec’d emails confirming my appointments, not checking up afterwards. And as described in my original review I did not receive calls checking up on me or returning my call when I was waiting to hear about being scheduled for a polish).
I appreciate that Dr. Habibi took the time to contact me and apologize, and try to figure out what happened. I am still not going back there, since I am so unhappy with the dental work and the follow-​up, but it was nice to talk with her about the issues.

So happy with all of my experiences here. I’ve been a patient for a year and a half, so have had 3 cleanings so far and just got done my 4^th visit which was to replace my permanent bottom retainer. I decided after so many good visits, it was time to write a review.
Dr. Habibi is wonderful! She is professional, passionate, knowledgable and very sweet. On my last visit (the permanent retainer) she listened to all of my concerns and took the time to make sure the process was smooth, quick and as comfortable as possible.
The hygienists are all very knowledgable, encouraging of good oral hygiene (not aggressive or mean) and all are very nice.
There were some other comments about the location of the office and it’s looks. Yeah, it’s not in a «bourgey» complex or have thousands of dollars worth of décor, but the waiting area and work areas are very clean. I can’t tell the difference between an instrument that’s 8 years old v. brand new, but if it works and is clean/​sanitary, I’m not sure it matters.
All around, very pleasant experience.

Dr. Habibi has a strong focus on preventative care. I have never been to a dentist that taught me to take such good care of my teeth. Before going to Aesthetics & Essentials, I hadn’t thought to use a proxy brush after flossing, or wear a mouth guard at night. She even suggested some vitamins I could take. I can tell my teeth and gums are in much better condition since going there. She is also very funny and kind– and gentle with your teeth!
As a bonus, the office staff are very responsive to email and will give you courtesy calls to remind you of appointments/​follow up with your visits. Overall, would definitely recommend.

I have to give it an update since my last review. I’ve been with Dr. Habibi for the past two years and she is really the best! I recently finished a procedure and wasn’t happy about it. But Dr. Habibi and her staff wasn’t even hesitate when I called about my concern and had me back within a week. Dr. Habibi was patiently listening to my concerns and sure enough she made me a happy and satisfied customer in 3 minutes! Yes, she is awesome!

First of all, thank you to the other Unilocalers who gave such great reviews and helped me find Dr. Habibi in the first place.
I cannot do enough to sing her praises. I absolutely hate visiting the dentist, but Dr. Habibi makes it fun and enjoyable (even when she’s nagging me to floss more!)

I absolutely hate going to the dentist!!! But I have finally found a dental office that I love!!! Dr. Habibi and Dr. Mary are amazing! Also all the staff are amazing and nice!
There was a point where I didn’t go to the dentist for literally years due to no dental insurance and due to my fear of the dentist and such… So I only went because I started having real bad toothaches. They set me up for an appointment that very same day and after a quick examination, Dr. Habibi informed me that she is going to have to perform a root canal. I’m not going to lie. I cried. Yes. As a grown woman I cried in the dentist’s chair. The staff there was so nice in trying to calm me down and letting me know that they are going to take care of it and explained the importance of flossing/​etc and coming in regularly for check-​ups to avoid major procedures like that.
Since then (2008 I think), I haven’t gone to any other dentist and don’t plan on it. And I’m proud to say that I’m not deathly afraid of the dentist anymore. :)
