CitiDent

My experience here was fantastic! Would love to come back.

Been a patient of Dr. Amini now for 8 years. I fly up from Southern California when I’m not in SF for
Work. The staff here go out of their way to make you feel at home. The newly renovated location is beautiful, modern, sleek and still very welcoming.
As far as my dental needs Dr. Amini is always on top of the latest and safest techniques and technology dentistry had to offer. He always strives for excellence and ensures his patients leave happy and more than satisfied.
I have recommended Citident to countless friends and colleagues and they all have the same race reviews.
If you live or work downtown this place is where you want to go. They will work with you and your insurance to make sure you are getting the best services!
So if you are looking for an amazing Dentist with an amazing bedside manner than look no further. Dr. Amini is your guy!

Who likes going to the dentist? Literally no one. But if you have to go, you’d like it to be as easy as possible. I have the misfortune of having terrible teeth and I’ve had to go to numerous dentists over the years but CitiDent is by far my favorite. Some of the reasons why:
–really nice office space. Some of it reminds me more of being in a spa more than a office
–great technology. Anyone who has ever had a root canal can attest to how sucky that process can be. These people literally have a 3D printer to make your crown. So quick and fits so well. Blew my mind… knock on wood that I don’t need any more of those ;)
–great service. Sometimes the staff at doctors offices can be so miserable and anti-​helpful. The staff here is so responsive and willing to help and explain everything. I was traveling on business recently and needed to get an appointment on short notice. They squeezed me for when I returned and even asked me how my trip was. I was impressed they remembered and that little gesture was a real nice touch. And on my last visit when I had quite a bit of work done, they gave me a set of headphones so I could listen to music and relax! That was the best ;)
–expertise. I’ve seen both Dr. Vo and most recently Dr. Sood. Both are super knowledgeable, both are gentle and both were able to assist me and explain everything in simple terms.
Bottom line — going to the dentist isn’t fun but this place rocks ;)

Wow, this office is stunning! The doctors are very professional and take the time to review treatment. I’ve only seen two other dentist as an adult and Dr. Amini is by far the best switch I could have made. I recommend going to CitiDent.

I’ve been coming to Dr Amini for almost 10 years and cannot recommend him enough! He is thorough, precise, explains everything in great detail and his work is quick and pain free. Dr Amini puts me at ease, makes me laugh and is really patient with all my many questions and concerns.
The office is beautiful — clean and pristine as you would want any medical office to be. His front staff and office manager are also wonderful and friendly and always so helpful. Really grateful for everyone in this office and their dedication to excellence in service.

Came back to see Dr Amini recently to wrap up my invisalign treatment. Me teeth are finally straight again and thanks to his modifications to the program, it was done much faster than originally estimated. The new office also looks amazing and it’s quite refreshing every time I go to see them, they have some new piece of technology and are staying up to date with the most modern dental practices. I’ve been seeing Dr. Amini for nearly 15 years and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

Dr Sood is efficient, knowledgable and pretty good at what she does. I trust her work and she’s good at answering all my questions. Out of the many times I’ve been, I was tended to about 20 – 30 minutes late only twice. Staff are nice, intelligent and efficient too, which is much appreciated. I’m happy to continue going to Dr Sood. I think she’s a great doctor for working professionals and have referred friends to her.

Most people I know do not like going to the dentist including me! But I have to say, I had the best experience of my life going to CitiDent to receive Dental Care.
Moving to the City was not easy, specially finding a new competent and caring doctor. I was very lucky to meet Dr. Amini and have the experience of seeing him at work. Dr. Amini and his team are the most professional and caring health providers I have ever encountered. Dr. Amin’s thorough examination followed by him describing in great detail of his diagnosis of my teeth put me at comfort. Dr. Amini by using Inter oral camera and X-​Ray showed me everything I needed to know about my teeth and how best I can take care of them. I, being such a detailed oriented person really enjoyed it and now I look at my teeth quiet differently and most certainly will take care of them much better.
I highly recommend Dr. Amini to all my friends and whomever reads this to give themselves a gift of care and visit CitiDent.

I’ve been going there 15 years old. The reason is because they consistently deliver excellent customer service and are amazing dentists! The front staff has always been so great as well.

Dr vo is great. I had Dr. sood while dr vo was out and she was good too. But the follow up and customer service is horrible with the front desk. They have said multiple times that they will follow up with me for a referral but don’t seem to care. I agree with the other posts; the front desk staff makes it seem like they only care about booking you so they can bill your insurance and don’t care about anything else.

Constant nagging with appointment reminders. Tell them to stop, they only accelerate the pace of appontment reminders. Disrsepctvul to customers who ask them to stop who are ignored.

This entire business is designed to maximize billing against your insurance. X-​rays every year, lots of upsells on questionable cosmetic procedures. If you’re looking for quality care, this isn’t the place. If you’re looking to line the pockets of dentists who are in it for the money, jump right in.

I’m kind of sad to write this review. But I feel I should share my experience.
I was extremely happy to find this dentist office right down the street from my office. Finally I would be able to have regular dental visits. Since it had been many years since my last checkup, I wasn’t surprised when I was given a long list of issues that needed to be taken care of.
After much work completed, many dollars spent, and my home care of brushing and flossing improved, I thought I should be good. Next visit, ANOTHER cavity. This one located between two teeth so that might turn into two crowns if not two root canals… seriously? After all that work (and money) I just went through I couldn’t face any more… so I didn’t schedule an appointment and let time pass.
Fast forward two years…
They’re remodeling the office and the temp office is too far for me to travel, so I was now forced to find a new dentist. Luckily I found one that was open on Saturdays, and close to home. Went in, x-​rays, exam, and cleaning by a very gentle touch (Dr. Sood was a bit heavy handed, but just my opinion). When it was done I had expected to hear the worst (remember now, I was told TWO YEARS AGO it could be possible root canals). Nope! No cavity– NO CAVITY, no work needed, looks great for not seeing a dentist in TWO YEARS!!!
What it comes down to is, I’m not saying anything negative about the service I received, the work that was done, was done well, everyone was usually pleasant and friendly, even overlooking the heavy handedness. I do feel however, if I had continued going to Citi Dent I would have continued to need unnecessary work done, and spent more of my hard-​earned dollars.

Very friendly staff, Dr. Sood was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable in her field and did an exceptional job! I had a couple of cavities filled, a root canal (I know, I am a mess) and I had veneers done to the front 4 teeth and everything was done exceptionally well, I couldn’t be happier! Was it pricey? Yes it was, but I can pay and know that everything was done correctly or I can save somewhere else and have continuous problems, so I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful experience! My teeth are whiter and more healthy. they can take pictures of your teeth and really show you what you need work on which is fantastic. I am also always welcomed with a smile which makes going to the dentist such a lovely experience.

Save your teeth and DON’T GO HERE! I changed my insurance, and like others I chose this place because it was convenient, and my regular dental office doesn’t accept my new insurance. I scheduled my initial appointment pretty easily, the front staff is friendly and responsive.
My appointment last week was with Dr. Sood, and she looks at my X-​rays, says they look good and starts looking at my teeth. They have this little camera that they use to look and take photos. After a couple minutes, she takes two photos and tells me that I have two cavities. I’m 25, go to the dentist every 6 months and have NEVER had a cavity. She told me that my sealants are starting to fall out, and that I have two cavities forming. I ask her, «are you sure? I’ve never had a cavity, let alone two?» (Note: she didn’t clean my teeth before she pointed out the two «cavities.») She says, those are definitely cavities and asked if I had any questions before setting up an appointment to get them filled. She was nice about it, and I said no that I’ll think about it, but if I could get my cleaning done in the meant time. She said she’ll see if there’s time and sends their assistant over.
Their assistant starts going over the billing for the cavities and tells me that I’ll have to schedule another appointment for the cleaning, along with the fillings. Um what? I came here for a dentist appointment and I’m not even going to get my teeth cleaned today? They said that’s just how they do it since it’s a first assessment. WTF — what kind of dental office is this?!
I left and called my old dentist to schedule an appointment with them for the following week. My dentist did a thorough cleaning of my teeth, and THEN checked for cavities (the logical step) and said that I had 0 cavities! My teeth were in great condition, and I had nothing to be concerned about. Thank goodness I didn’t listen to Citident and go through with the fillings. I would have paid more than $ 300 for fillings that I don’t need. The $ 130 that I spent to have my old dentist check/​clean my teeth was well worth never having to go to Citident again.

Update: This place is totally fine for a cleaning, but it’s true (like the other reviews say) that they are constantly up-​selling you. It has just gotten to be too much. The last time I was there, they quoted me for an enameloplasty to even out two of my teeth. (Two teeth are slightly longer than their counterparts on the other side of my mouth.) I literally had never noticed what was «wrong» with the evenness of my teeth until they called it out. I didn’t even ask for the quote. The total came out to something close to $ 900. It just put a bad taste in my mouth. Weeks after my appointment I was still thinking about how my dentist thinks I should make cosmetic changes to my teeth.
Otherwise they’re still pretty great. I just dread the up-​selling every time I show up for an appointment.

When one travels 30 minutes into San Francisco for an appointment, must be worth it. And it is!
I have been a patient of Dr. Amini for two years now. My Invisalign results exceeded my expectations! Dr. Amini and his wonderful staff take the time to insure that your needs are met. Appointments are easy to make and their email and text reminders are a bonus!
While recently on vacation, I lost my retainers. I quickly phoned the office and Dr. Amini had them ordered within minutes. They were ready as soon as I arrived back in town!
I truly look forward to coming to Citident!

After 8 years of coming here, I can’t imagine going anywhere else. I love being able to walk in and being greeted by my name and hugs. It is very comforting when Jackie, Elaine and «newbie» Ashley do this every time.
Today I just came back in for my 2^nd appointment of 3. The first was a crown and temp crown by Dr. Vo. She is simply amazing. Constantly checking to see how I’m doing and making sure I’m in no pain. J.R. assisted her and he was also very attentive to how I was doing. Today was my Root Canal… OMG. I have been so nervous about this, but Dr. Paul Weller (who I just met today) was FANTASTIC. He made me smile and laugh from the moment he shook my hand hello all the way until the moment he shook my hand goodbye. I felt not one moment of discomfort while I was under his care. In fact, I was so comfortable, I dozed off a couple times. ;-) Cathy who assisted him today made sure that I was kept at the same comfort level as always.
After everything was done, Dr. Amini took a quick moment to come up to me and say hello and see how I was doing. It had been a moment since I had seen him. It’s little things like this that make a lasting impression, and keeps a patient coming back.
I have done it for the last 8 years, and I will continue to for the next 8 years to refer anyone and everyone I know to come see the friendly staff at CitiDent!
Happy New Years to you all @ CitiDent!

Absolute best dentist and dental practice ever! I’ve been going to this practice for over ten years. I’ve watched the office evolve and progress with the latest technology. Many of the staff have been here for years which speaks volumes in and of itself.
The office is kept incredibly clean and I’m always welcomed warmly. This is a dental practice that cares! I always feel very well taken care of.
Dr Amini and his staff are hard working professionals who take great pride in practicing high quality dentistry.
With my long resume of dental issues I feel like somewhat of an authority on the subject … I’ve had several lousy dental experiences in my past and I am so grateful I found Dr Amini — I’ve been a loyal patient for over a decade for a good reason!
