Dr. Jay Akef and her staff were very professional and helpful from the beginning. They have a very friendly front desk and hygienist. Before stared, Dr. Akef spent the time to truly explain what was going on based on the x ray image and his findings. and what would be the best treatment. I was nervous at first for the surgery but he enusre that i didn’t have to worry at all and i didn’t feel pain or anything. Even after the surgery and the next day seems like nothing happen. I recommend these guys for your dentist!

My hygienist is the best there is I have tried quite a few and by far he is the best

I saw Dr. Jay Akef yesterday 10-15-24 for the first time. I wanted to get his expert opinion to see if I was a candidate for dental implants. He was very nice and answered all my questions and concerns. His staff were all very nice and very welcoming also. I would recommend Dr. Akef's office for honest opinion.

Dr. Akef is a very skilled dentist. I have had multiple procedures and he has always kept Me informed as the procedures have gone along. He is very thorough and takes no chances with your dental care. Also, the office staff are incredible.

Dr. Jay Akef is an excellent dentist. Am very satisfied with my last surgery procedure. He responded when I called him the afternoon on that day with exceptional advice. I can recommend him with other veterans. I will give him A + rating

Going to Dr Akef office was a good decision. The staff are all great and the doctor knows has stuff. I've never been to a dental office where the dentist takes the time to show you what he's going to be doing. I'm having 3 inplants put in . My first appointment with him I fell asleep in his chair. I highly recommend Dr. Akef and his staff.

San Diego Dental Implants & Periodontic sets the bar above and beyond!

Very good dentist and implants cost is very reasonable.

I absolutely love Dr Akef and his team! I have had more dental work done than most people will have in a lifetime. Lots of painful, expensive and traumatizing experiences which made me very skeptical of dentists and I’m so thankful that I found Dr Akef. He is the sweetest man and goes above and beyond to make sure that you are satisfied and happy with your results. Very professional and patient and doesn’t try to bankrupt you with expensive dental treatments. He is by far my favorite dentist that I’ve ever been to and that says a lot because I’ve seen way too many. Thank you Dr Akef for being an awesome dentist!!!!

Dr. Akef and his staff have the background, experience and technical skills needed to produce the highest quality work. This is my first experience with dental implants and the results are fantastic. Thanks guys.

Great experience! Dr Akef is a very experienced professional.

Dr. Akef is a great professional who cares about his patients

Dr Akef is the ONLY dentist I will go to anymore. He is not only a master at implants, but is able to think outside the box to solve your dental issue. I've gotten at least 3 implants, no pain after. He is amazing! 100% recommend.

I was overwhelmed by the great service and attention to detail by staff. Looking forward to having my dental work done by Dr. Akef’s staff.

Brutal deep clean- experience- male hygienist not introduce self pulls out syringe and dental tools- jammed large needle syringe in mouth- I experienced shooting pain in gums. Inexperienced hygienist should not practice on patients- finally after I made multiple requests to change his limited skills a head periodontist came in an inserted a much smaller syringe needle in my gums so cleaning could continue. No patient - particularly a senior female veteran should experience this.

I have been seeing Dr. Akef on and off for almost 22 years for teeth implants. My lengthy relationaship with Dr. Akef speaks volumes about his skill and patient care.

Dr. Akef is an excellent periodontist. I have been his patient over a year first having deep cleaning, then osseous surgery, yesterday Followup cleaning. My experiences with him and his staff is always outstanding from beginning to end of each appointment, always explaining procedure and post appointment directions clearly in easy to understand language. They are very knowledgeable, professional, patient, caring, and wonderful . I really appreciate all they have done for me ! And yes, I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you.

Dr. Akef is an excellent periodontist, I have been his patient for more than 15 years. Because of his professionalism and wonderful staff, I have referred many friends and family to his office.

Best doctor ever

Very good Doc ??

I had an “All on 6 implants” double arch crowns designed and installed by Dr Akef. The total procedure lasted about one year including four trials of temporary crowns. Dr Akef made effort to revise and refine the fit of my artificial teeth. I had my temporary crown broken and made an emergency call. That happened in the last Christmas Eve when the clinic closed and all staff were on holidays. Dr Akef came to office and spent about two hours to fix the issue. I greatly appreciate his care for patients.

...

Implant is a long process but I’m down to my last few steps. The experience has been relatively pain free such that I didn’t even fill the pain medication prescription. Tylenol was plenty for just 1 day after each procedure. I had another implant that didn’t go so well and still gives me problems. I may ask the doctor if he has a solution for that problem after I complete this implant

I had an excellent experience at the SD dental implant and Pero. . The staff was friendly and professional. The dentist was thorough in explaining procedures and answering my questions. The facility was clean and well-maintained. Overall, a positive and comfortable visit. Highly recommended

Very efficient

Extreme professionalism--I feel I am in very good hands.

Jaime is an amazing hygienist, he cleans my teeth every three months and since he started doing it about three years ago my teeth are looking good and whiter. Superb dental hygienist.

Going the extra mile.

The best doctor and experience ever. My husband, son and I are all his patients. He is kind, sincere, and professional. I have changed 3 doctors in my life time. So I am very loyal but finding a good dentist is so hard and my family and I couldn’t be happier this time.

Really appreciate Dr.Akefs and stuff professionalism and friendly attention.

I have been seeing Dr. Akef for my dental needs for several years, and I have always had a very positive experience.

The most important in Medical job is that first Doctor's Dignity and then experience that Dr. Akaf has both. I've been his patient since 2008. Thank you.

Best dentist office I have ever visited! Kind, respectful, and efficient!

Dr Akef has a good sense of humor. He figured out why I was referred (it was the gum, not the tooth), of course! I learned something new & surgery has been scheduled. The front staff was great. Thank you.

...

I have been a patient of Dr Akef for 15+ years. Dr Akef and his staff are very professional and friendly they make what would be normally a stressful experience stress free. I highly recommend Dr Akef!!

Super efficient! Very pleased with my implant.

I was very pleased with my first visit with Dr. Akef. He did a thorough exam and explained to me exactly what my problem is. I feel confident that he can help solve my problem.

5 stars need I say more

Excellent service and treatment. I can recommend if you need implants go to Dr. Jay Akef

Dr Akef went above and beyond when it came to my treatment. Would recommend to anyone.

We are very satisfied with dental care that we received at Dr. Jay Akef dental clinic. The exceptional professionalism, expertise, and genuine care demonstrated by you and your staff have left a long lasting positive impression on both of us. We genuinely appreciate the dedication and commitment that each member of your team brings to their work. Thank you again for providing such outstanding dental care. We will undoubtedly continue to recommend Dr. Akef to our family and friends seeking dental services. With greatest appreciations,

For the last 25 YEARS he and his staff managed our dental needs The numbers above speak volumes and we are not gullible people or related to him. Further he never tried to have a Royal vacation by overcharging us. I hope I said it all.

The good doctor was very clear and easy for me to understand what it was I needed done to clear up my problem. I could tell he is very knowledgeable, and I liked his level of confidence… happy to call him my doctor.

I have been to many Dentist’s in my 65 years , but the reason l go to Dr Akef exclusively , is he simply VERY VERY GOOD at what he does . The real deal !! A+++

I am extremely satisfied with the care I received at your dental clinic. The exceptional professionalism, expertise, and genuine care demonstrated by your staff have left a lasting positive impression on me. I genuinely appreciate the dedication and commitment that each member of your team brings to their work. Thank you again for providing such outstanding dental care. I will undoubtedly continue to recommend your clinic to family and friends seeking dental services in the future. With heartfelt gratitude, Al

I’m very fond of this dentist. He’s gentle and kind and gets the job done. There have been times my insurance didn’t cover any of the implants and they gave me discounts to help. The staff is very friendly and kind as well. Would send anyone who needs dental work done to him. He’s very reasonable.

Dr. Akef is a kind, sweet soul, which permeates every aspect of his care for his patients. I drive from North County to his office in San Diego because Dr. Akef is the absolute best! The staff is amazing as well, who have been with him for years, which speaks volumes. Blessed to be a patient!!

An absolute professional! San Diego is fortunate to have him.

I have always had awsome experience with Dr.Akef. he just spent an hour trying to redo a 3 surface filling on a molar which broke off last week. Excellent job and a lot of effort he put into it. He is also my periodontist, and has performed several successful gum surgeries for me.

Very thankful I found this Dr.. His Office is somewhat outdated but don’t let that fool you. After my implant procedure, which was surprisingly quick, completely pain free, you definitely find out where the money goes. It’s not in the picturesque location or fringy modern office. It’s the quality of his work. I had a ton of questions before and after, and staff and Dr. had no problem answering them all. Price is very reasonable. Definitely recommend!

Very clear very andestending about the work the during to mi n the price is very good to mi

Excellent Service and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Loved the experience.

Doctor Akef is a consummate periodontist and a humble gentleman. I saw him after a pre-implant bone graft from another doctor failed. He reperformed the bone graft procedure and added an extra step, I don't recall the technical term, but it was successful. The implant is perfect, and his assistant Yadi has a keen eye for matching crown colors. Recently I had two additional procedures. After my gums receded, an old metal crown exposed the dark metal beneath it, and I decided to replace it with a porcelain crown. Additionally, a previous dentist underestimated an implant's crown size, leaving me with a gap that required constant flossing. Doctor Akef replaced both crowns, and I couldn't be happier. I feel like I have my natural teeth again. Last but not least, Jaime deserves much praise for thoroughly cleaning my teeth. The team is top-notch. Look no further you've found the best!

Always a wonderful experience. Very timely organized and professional.

Dr Akef was very kind and great. This is for the staff: stsff seems to need more training on safety and customer service. They kept on coming in and out and asking Dr Akef while there is a procedure being done with me. In addition, They send text but no phone calls (pre-Op) and zi was forced to call them the day before, luckily, and they told me pre-op requirements and where to pick up my meds, that I did not know I needed to take before ops. Lastly, if you call, they kept me waiting and they never called back. I have to make a phone call again, and threaten them that I will fund another dental clinic. Dr. Akef called me to apologize for the bad day. I was litterally scared because there were about 4 people in the room, while I was being cut. I cannot speak nor move to tell the staff, go out and let my Doctor Focus. Try it yourself and you will see the difference. My dentist insistead that he is good (maybe they know each other) but I really told him I wanted a diff office. Luckily, I left unscaved but I cancelled my other appointment. Once agin, Dr. Akef is great but he also need to train his staff, focus on safety and malpractice, and sent his staff to customer seevice training. Dr. may not be aware of the problem so I am wrting this so he reads it. Lastly, the staff cannot be speaking other language if they are talking besides the client on the seat. Privately between them is ok, but not where I am seating. Thank you for the service but I want you to improve too that is why I am writing this. Furthermore, I want you to be successful and safe for everyone’s benefit and to the sustainability of your practice.

I moved from NY to San Diego recently and didn’t know any dentist in this area. Luckily someone recommended Dr Akef and I sure thank this person for Introducing him to me. I had one tooth extraction and implant, dr Akef is very professional, calm and explains everything very clearly. Also he has great caring staff. I had a great experience and would highly recommend him.

Fantastic service, great staff, and very clean.

Very friendly staff and excellent exam.

I had an implant done, and this was not my first one. Dr. Akef and his staff are absolutely the best ever! The appointment scheduling was excellent, then the pre-surgery medication arrangements were handled perfectly with complete explanations of when and how much to take. The surgery was prompt with no waiting time and the surgery was absolutely painless. This was the best experience I have ever had with dental surgery.

...

My appointment went very well. You can easily see that Dr. Akef is highly experienced in what he does. I had three molars that had several infections extracted. Then I had bone graffs on the three teeth in hopes that I can get dental implants there in about six months. We will have to wait and see. I felt no pain, the dental assistant was excellent in assisting the doctor. I go back for a followup visit in about 10 days. I felt as though I was in great hands and and would highly recommend Dr. Akef and his staff. We will have to wait to see my final results but I feel I had excellent care. The front office staff is excellent as well. Suzanne Smith

BE ADVISED; PLEASE RECOGNIZE what an extremely professional/outstanding/ and fulfilling experience I HAD AS A PATIENT OF DR. JAY AKEFF!!!! His unusually caring and squeaky-clean/ smart STAFF made my implant journey SO EXTREMELY UNIQUE! My basic concern in my journey to locate and honest/ brilliant/ smart/ and caring IMPLANT DOCTOR ........delivered me to the BEST EVER PATIENT/ DOCTOR experience. I HOPE this post will be read and reviewed fully by others in choosing an IMPLANT DOCTOR......**LOOK NO FURTHER.....THIS IS THE 'GO TO' IMPLANT DOCTOR.

They are just amazing! costumer service , caring for patients and cleanness is topnotch ! But the Dr Akef himself is more than just saying he is good or he is excellent , his expertise and knowledge is beyond my expectation . I am normally a very skeptical patient and if i feel or see any lack of care or diagnoses of my issue , i change my provider immediately, but when it comes to their office , i have been their patient for 3 years now because couldn't find anything to complain!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Akef for a few years now. I hate anything dental! So I searched high and low (literally visiting 9-11 dentists for implants) and none could beat his price, by a long shot. I had previous good experiences with him so I went for it. He’s been Amazing and gone beyond what I expected (and I’m a nightmare patient due to my fear). I highly recommend Dr. Akef for dental implants and rebuilding smiles! He’s friendly, professional and has the best bed side manner of any dentist I’ve seen! ?

This place is fabulous. Dr. Akef is superb at what he does, a real artiste. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!!!

...

Dr Akef is The best. Very gentle and shows genuine care and concern. I had implants done and they fit perfectly the first time and his lab guy is the best. I highly recommend him
