Your doctor, Dr. Ali Aldabe grew up in the bustling, windy city of Chicago, Illinois before attending Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Ali is excited to bring his exceptional dental services to the Clairemont and broader San Diego area.
After skipping the eighth grade and completing undergraduate work in 3 years, Dr. Ali became the youngest dentist of his graduating class of 2017, before deciding to move to San Diego for its beautiful beaches, sunny weather, and idyllic multicultural community. Dr. Aldabe has the benefit of having more years of dental experience at a younger age than his colleagues, allowing him to provide you with exceptional care without compromising quality experience.
As a general dentist, Dr. Alis treatment focuses on preventative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental disease control, gum disease treatment, oral surgery, dental prosthetics, and root canal therapy. Our doctor has treated patients from age 1 to age 104.
When hes not working hard to brighten your smile, Dr. Ali likes to lift weights, play strategy games, read philosophy and science, and stay active playing sports like basketball or volleyball. Dr. Ali thinks life is about creating good stories and making people happy, so dont be afraid to joke around with him!

As someone who is terrified of the dentist, with multiple scarring experiences, I LOVE this dentist. The staff is always super nice and understanding! Dr. Ali is the best dentist I've ever had. He listens to me and my concerns, and is very honest. I trust what he tells me and know I'm in good hands going here. Highly recommend! Honestly I can't recommend enough, especially if your nervous about the dentist! The vibe here is just so much better then anywhere else I've been. I even switched insurances specifically so I could go here, which is telling. You won't be disappointed.

I am very happy with Clairemont Mesa Dental Center. Dr. Ali is great, the staff is friendly, professional, and welcoming. Plus a few people are still there, like Danielle! I was worried when Dr. Block retired, but no need, I highly recommend Dr. Ali and Clairemont Mesa Dental Center.

Cracked a tooth, was awful and extremely painful so i made an appointment at Clairemont Dental Group. Staff were VERY friendly and professional. Dentist was phenomenal as well. Best dentist experience I've ever had (I typically hate going to the dentist). FINALLY found a dentist that I will continue to see regularly.

The people there are super friendly. I got to my appointment early and they got me in early. Doctor gave me choices on what level I wanted to pursue dental health and proceeded accordingly.

Really nice dentists there, definitely helped in making me feel better after getting overwhelmed with money issues. They helped in getting some issues covered, not all of them since there's actually an issue with my jaw, but at least they helped me get the right help. Thank you to the dentists for being so nice and understanding <3

Dr. Ali is an excellent dentist. Besides having terrific technical skills, he has a gentle touch, is always concerned about how I'm doing during a procedure, and is very personable. In addition, he has a great staff and his office easy to get to. I highly recommend him!

Wow what a gem I have found in this little neighborhood!! Super friendly and professional staffs, and Dr. Ali is knowledgeable and not pushy about a treatment that's not necessarily a must for the moment, he'll explain all the options available for me to decide. I took my daughter here today and I was so impressed that I scheduled my cleaning here. Recommended!

this dental office is not only conveniently close but the hours of operation are helpful for the working community as well. from the very start the staff is friendly and helpful. the dental care is superior to say the least. the conversation and humor of the staff makes my visits even more enjoyable. my insurance found you but our choice to stay is because of how we are treated.

I've always HATED going to the dentist before I found this place. But the staff is far too welcoming, caring, and dedicated to delivering AWESOME care to not enjoy my dental visits. The level of care I received has been next level awesome, by everyone in the building! They delivered the end product of a smile I'm proud of for the first time in 10 years.

I really appreciate Dr. Ali and the clinic staff. Danielle is a great hygenist, very sensitive to her patient. I highly recommend her. Dr. Ali is thoughtful in his approach to recommendations. I never feel that he is suggesting anything that is not necessary. Please make an appointment and find out for yourself!
