I am very pleased so far with the work completed at San Diego Dental Implants & Periodontics. I had a sinus graft to prepare for three dental implants including a bone graft for another implant. That's four implants completed. Something, I thought was not possible I've lost all four of the teeth over 15 years ago and had no bone. The cost was very affordable. I've has many quotes over the years and Dr. Akef was able to deliver for less.

I went to see Dr. Akef since I needed an implant. The first procedure was least painful among all other my implant surgeries (which were quite a few.) While I was waiting for it to heal, my crown on one of old implants broke. Dr. Akef took time to find the matching part for it and made a crown for me. About six months later, I got my crown on the implant he worked on earlier. I am quite happy about the result. If I need another dental work, I will go to Dr. Akef.

My experience with Dr. Akef was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment I walked into the office, I was treated with care and attentive customer service. Dr. Akef knew exactly what I was looking for within minutes of showing him my gums. He performed a procedure to align my gum line for a more symmetrical look. Throughout the procedure I was really impressed with Dr. Akef's attention to how I was feeling, and his detailed eye for aesthetics. When numbing my mouth, he was extremely delicate and took his time, so the process was essentially pain-free! I would highly recommend Dr. Akef, and De Anza Dentistry!

Dr. Akef is an excellent technician. He treated my periodontal disease successfully and completed 3 dental implants including bone grafts because I did not have sufficient bone for the dental implants. I am happy with the results and have referred him to a few family members

I was referred to Dr. Jay Akef by another dentist for periodontal disease treatment and dental implants. He was very knowledgeable and explained that four of my teeth which had developed periodontal disease can be saved by bone grafting. I had the periodontal disease treatment and bone grafting done and it worked. I was able to save all four teeth. I ended up only needing one dental implant.

I've been going to De Anza Dentistry for years now. Whenever I need to go to the dentist for either a routine visit or to fix some problem, I always feel safe with his level of care and trust that he'll be very thorough. I used to eat a lot of sweets (I was a sugar fiend. What can I say?!?) and as a result I got a number of cavities but when I went to get them filled and crowned, I felt really comfortable during and after the procedure. I highly recommend them!

I have been a patient of De Anza Dentistry for a few years now. Dr. Akef and his staff are very caring, and efficient. I have a busy schedule and know if I have an appointment, I am seen in a timely fashion and aren't kept waiting. Dr. Akef always takes time to make sure I understand the treatment to be done and is very gentle. I have also seen other Doctors in this office and like Dr. Akef, they make me feel at ease and do a great job. I have and will recommend Dr. Akef to all my family and friends................
