Babak Mostaan, DDS

Dr Mostaan is an amazing doctor. I have been his patient for the past four years and he has performed many operations on my teeth such as filling, crowns, …. I never had a complication or unusual pain after coming out of his office. Not only Dr Mostaan is a very skillful dentist, he also has a great manner and his is very caring. What I like about him is that he always explains about the procedure before performing the operation. I highly recommend Dr Mostaan.

Been a patient here for many years and for good reason. Every time you walk through the door, it is like coming to see family. Super nice, they remember your name and ask about your life. They do not push extra unnecessary services. Win

I moved to Southern California last year but still keep Doctor Mostaan as my dentist. He is that good. A coworker recommended him and by the end of year, half of the people in the office were seeing him.
His office is clean and bright. His front desk staff is friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable (even with billing questions). There is free bottled water, ice tea, and fruit in the waiting room. And this I still can’t get over: it’s a spa. Truly!
They have massage chairs, TVs over your head, warm lavender neck wraps, blankets, headphones, and give you free paraffin hand treatments! (Make sure to ask for all the extras.) I would literally skip in to and out of his office, I loved going so much.
The hygienists are all sweet and friendly and gentle. And Doctor Mostaan is warm and welcoming. No one has ever tried to talk me into any extra procedures, they just ask what I may want to know more about. The whole experience is always fantastic.

I’ve been going to Dr. Mostaan for about a year and a half. I am very particular and tend to be critical, but I have been very pleased with the professional quality of his work and that of his dental assistants. The cleanings have been very thorough and have been done with an ultrasonic scaler which is better and safer than a handheld scaler. I’ve had to have many teeth crowned over the years and sometimes there’ve been issues, but the procedure with him went flawlessly. I haven’t had any problems with the crown since, either. Finally, the dental chairs that massage your back are a nice plus and his prices are reasonable.

I love this dentist and staff. They are extremely thorough and professional, but also warm and friendly. It’s actually a relaxing experience having your teeth cleaned here. They offer paraffin hand treatments, aromatherapy, and massage chair among other treats. My kids also enjoy coming here. They look forward to watching netflix and a visit to the treasure chest at the end of the visit. Dr. Mostaan has young children himself and has a very gentle demeanor with kids.
This a very convenient, enjoyable, and trust-​worthy dental office.

Great office staff and great dentist. Everyone is very friendly and professional. I have had negative/​painful experiences at dentists in the past, and I’m so so relieved to be going to dentist who really cares about comfort and avoiding pain during procedures.

We just moved to the area and I needed to find a good dentist for couple of urgent dental work. I found Dr. Mostaan through a Unilocal search, although you may think Unilocal would be the last thing you pick to search for a dentist. I decided to write this review only because I generally don’t like to go to a dentist and this was the first time in many years that I left a dental office totally relaxed and satisfied.
Here are the reasons:
1– The whole crew, from the receptionist to the assistant and Dr. Mostaan himself were friendly, caring & professional.
2– He is good listener & very gentle. You don’t feel rushed even though he is back to back booked. He takes time to explain what is going on and also throughout the whole procedure. I think this really puts the patient as ease and comfort.
3– Yes, this is a dental spa and the paraffin hand wax & the neck warmer do happen for real! I put 5 start on the neck warmer, as I think everyone tense up in the neck area during dental work and the neck warmer does the trick & takes the pressure off.
4– He was on time which is really important to me with my busy schedule, specially when making appointments during the business hours.
My only concern was it took the receptionist a long time to verify my insurance and by the time I was leaving, she was still trying to figure it all out and asked for my credit card info. So hopefully there won’t be an issues about coverage. I am due to go back soon and will provide feedback on how this works out. But overall a very pleasant experience and I would highly recommend this practice to my family and coworkers in the Bay Area!

I have only good things to say about Dr. Mostaan and his staff. He makes you feel comfortable and continually asks you if your doing ok during a procedure. Everyone in the office is really nice and down to earth. It’s a dental spa which is a great added bonus. I have recommended a few of my friends/​coworkers to go here and they also love it. I’ve been going to him since he was on California street. This is a very nice office that upholds their appointment times so your never waiting more than 5 minutes to be seen.

Never thought I’d review a dental office before, but from the receptionist to the assistants to Dr. Mostaan, the staff is excellent. I’m very happy so far with the work I’ve had done.
Dr. Mostaan is funny and he is a professional in what he does best which is being great dentist.
I’ve been around awhile and hate going to dentists, like many others, but I think this place meets the criteria of as good as it gets.

Stanford Smile Design is by far the BEST, BEST BEST BEST BEST DENTAL OFFICE!!! Dr. Babak Mostaan is the sweetest, caring, helpful, talented and amazing dentist i have ever been to. He genuinly really really cares and loves his patients. It was the weekend one time and i had a really bad tooth ache and didnt want to wait until monday to be seen. i called him and he made a trip to his office at midnight on his day off on the weekend just to look at my teeth and make sure they were okay. It meant soooo much to me for him to do that. My whole family is patients of his and he always asks about them and is soo caring and sweet!
I love all of his dental assistants and receptionists everyone there is soooo sweet! I travel all the way from Los Angeles (i moved to la) just to be seen by them. I never wanted to get a new dentist even though i live in LA. i will ALWAYS be going to them for my teeth. They do the BEST job and have blown me away with their skills and care.
I wish i could give them a million stars instead of just 5. because they are THAT GREAT! go to them now!!! my teeth look incredible now because of them! I am a model/​actress and my teeth are my most important feature on my face. and i know that i am in GREAT hands and it is all because of Babak and stanford smile design! :)))))
I am happy to come to the bay area so i can go to them! :)))) amazing!!! :))))))) BEST DENTIST OFFICE EVER! :)))

Dr. Mostaan and his team are an exceptional group of providers. I am thrilled with the care I have received here. I am welcomed by name and believe the entire team is working to provide me the best care and experience possible.
In addition — the facility is beautiful and feels more like a spa than a dentists office. I would highly recommend Dr. Mostaan and team for any of your dental needs.

We are all particular about something on our body and for me my teeth were very important. When I saw the deal on Groupon for Zoom teeth whitening, I took advantage and made an appointment. Dr Mostaan and his staff were very nice. They made sure I was comfortable and gave me details about the procedure. They even had a complimentary hand moisturizing treatment and heated neck roll.
I always tried my best to have white teeth and a good dental hygiene. Before I went for the treatment my teeth were A1 and A2 white level without any bleaching treatments before. I was able to achieve this with brushing my teeth twice a day and occasional cleaning using baking soda at home. They were even whiter than this till i started drinking coffee.

My goal after the treatment was to achieve the highest level of whiteness at least the same whiteness as I had prior to A1 and A2 level. After the treatment they were able to achieve 030 white level and It was unsatisfactory. My teeth were whiter than 030 and I would have been able to achieve this by putting more effort cleaning my teeth often with bake soda and hydrogen peroxide at home. I chose this treatment because I though it was faster and effective than home bleaching products. My expectation was higher and it wasn’t met. Because of this I give it 2 stars.

Dr. Mostaan and his dental staff are wonderful. Instead of lecturing you about how you’re obviously not flossing all the time, just the few weeks before your visit (you know what I mean ;)), they give actual suggestions and work with you to figure out how to make the things you need to do actually work/​happen with your lifestyle and schedule. The paraffin wax and DVDs are a nice touch, but the dental staff are so friendly and kind, I’d recommend this office without them.
Minus one star for his bizarro office staff who called me six times in the past week and never left a message. Apparently they were «instructed not to leave a message», and instead just called over and over and over again while I was at work. Brilliant. They also told me they take my insurance, but later changed their minds and said they’re out of network and thus not actually covered. Good thing I asked a few times before going in.

Truly the best medical professional I’ve ever been to. Here are the reasons why:
1) The most important thing is to have trust in your dentist and he came off as very genuine and didn’t try to force more work on me like my previous dentist did.
2) He takes the time to explain everything that is going on.
3) He seems very knowledgeable.
4) Very friendly and shows concern if you feel any pain.
5) He carries himself like a professional.
6) The office. The way you keep up your office and technology is pretty important. He’s using the latest tools, it’s a very clean and new office, and he even has a massage chair and the ability to watch Netflix while you are getting drilled!
He was recommended to me by a friend and since then I’ve recommended him to all of mine. You won’t regret this!

This is «rich people dentist». It’s everything you’d hope a dentist in Palo Alto would be.
I just watch The Daily Show on the overhead tv screen and try not to laugh while Dr. Mostaan fixes all my oral situations. They offered me a hand wax dip, but I didn’t know what that meant so I said no. Then the chair started massaging me and I was all like «woah, the chair is massaging me» which just came out as «woa da cwair is masswagin ee» because there were all these things in my mouth.
My former dentist in San Diego owned seven planes and that was pretty great. But Dr. Mostaan and his team are pretty great, too. And my insurance totally pays for it.

I bought a Groupon for a zoom whitening, and I am now completely in love with this dental practice. The environment is luxurious and spa-​like, from the pelligrino sodas to the fresh apples available in the waiting area, to the in-​chair entertainment system, hand massage and neck wraps. As for the zoom treatment itself, the results are nothing short of miraculous! I love my smile! I can’t stop smiling!
I did regular bleaching trays before, and had build-​up on my lower canines that was never coming off. When I sat in the chair, I pointed it out to Dr. Mostaan and told him I understood that he wouldn’t be able to do anything about that build-​up, that I’d been through 3 professional bleachings using trays, and even whitestrips, and nothing worked. Dr. Mostaan smiled and said, «Let’s see what we can do». VOILA! Gone! I’m impressed!
UPDATE: February 2013, and my teeth are still brilliant and look clean as can be! Thank you, Dr. Mostaan, for a lovely job

I have NEVER been to a dentist office this nice, with staff and a dentist to match.
What started as a Groupon for Zoom whitening (as I sit here, my teeth are SUPER sensitive from yesterday’s treatment!) has turned into making Dr. Mostaan my official dentist. Since they accept my dental insurance and I knew I should have my teeth cleaned prior to the Zoom whitening, it was worth a shot. Well, I’m sold! The spa-​like atmosphere, the massaging dental chairs, the paraffin hand wax, the warmed neck roll, a VERY gentle yet comprehensive exam, quality dental work, AND the friendly staff truly make going to the dentist seem far less like a hassle and more like a positive, relaxing experience.
Even despite the long drive and murderous traffic I encounter on the way (and I feel badly because I’m ALWAYS a few minutes late for my appointment!), I am willing to make the trek from the East Bay to Palo Alto to make my dental appointments as enjoyable as possible. Kudos to Dr. Mostaan and his staff!

I don’t think I’ve been to a dentist in… am embarrassing long time.
This was a very pleasant 2 hour experience. I have never had everything explained so thoroughly. I felt like I really knew what was going on instead of being prodded and poked with out explanation.
I have to go back for some extra work and I will take advantage of the nitrous oxide and Netflix.
The only think I worry about is, how much will this cost?

I came here for Zoom Teeth Whitening. I got a good deal from Group on. Dr Mostaan helped with the whole process. Eventhough I got the deal from group on, Dr Mostaan treated me like a regular patient. He is very gentle, nice, he gave me the details about the teeth whitening. He always kept asking me how am I during the treatment… what a nice dentist he is. Many people told me zoom teeth whitening will hurt my gum, lips, teeth. but I feel nothing because Dr Mostaan made sure that the laser won’t hurt my gum n lips. The office is very nice and bright. Free refreshments at the waiting room. The nurse offered me the hand spa (it made my hand smooth like a baby’s bottom). I really enjoyed the massage chair during the 45 minutes zoom teeth whitening.
I will recommed Dr Mostaan to my friends and my family. Two thumbs up Dentist.
Ps: he has a great voice, can make you calm down :)

Easy parking, something to drink when you step into the soothing surroundings, excellent dental hygienist with her gentle little hands and caring demeanor.
Dr. Mostaan’s very considerate about his patients comfort and is a true professional keeping up with the latest treatments and technologies, including the patient in treatment options.
The billing at times falls behind. My insurance has been billed as far as 3 years later which poses problems at times, but overall a comfortable office that offers good care.
Tips:
Arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes late. Your appointment time will come and go without the staff saying a thing. I think the appointment time given is actually 30 minutes sooner than they can take you anyway. If you arrive early plan on waiting awhile.
The waiting area is small with nothing to read and a TV monitor that is always off, so bring a book, iPad or something to entertain yourself during all the down time. Bringing your own music or podcasts and head phones is encouraged.
