Smile SF

After many years of dental neglect, Dr. Farah and her team have walked me back to dental health. Her approach was methodical and she educated me while the work was being done. I would definitely trust Dr. Farah to get me to smile again

Harassed me with phone calls and text messages to confirm my appointment multiple times, after already confirming twice the office cancelled my appointment. Poor customer service

I am so scared to go to the dentist and I require taking Lorazepam to even get my butt in the door. Dr. Farah is so knowledgeable, warm and comforting and educated me along the way and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I almost fell asleep during my cleaning and cavity being filled. Her dental hygienist was so incredible as well and informative and made me feel really safe and comfortable. THANK YOU!!!

I do not ever write negative reviews, but feel compelled to share my experience with Smile SF so that it may serve as a warning to others. I recently moved to San Fransisco and was forced to find a new dentist after years of visiting one that I loved on the East Coast. I found Smile SF through OpenCare and felt assured by their excellent Google reviews. My visit started off on a challenging foot, with the hygienist continually failing to take proper x-rays of my teeth,. She eventually needed to take at least ten additional x-rays. I then met with Dr. Sefidvash for an exam which consisted of a review of my x-rays, an oral cancer screen, and a scan of my periodontal pockets in which she repeatedly stabbed the probe into the soft tissue of my gums, causing them to bleed. She told me I had 5 and 6 mm periodontal pockets, visible bone loss from periodontal disease, and four cavities that needed to be filled immediately. She said I needed a deep cleaning (which Id need to be sedated for) and a set of fillings that would run me $3500, though lucky me, with insurance Id only be out 1k. I was very surprised to hear this, given that I had most recently visited my dentist less than a year ago and he had noted none of these issues. I am also 23 years old, healthy, and have had no problems with sensitivity or bleeding that would indicate any problem. For this reason, I booked an appointment for a second opinion. The second dentist told me I had no visible periodontal issues, no bone loss, and zero cavities that needed filling. I would advise people to avoid this office, or at least to seek out second opinions if told unexpected bad news.
