Heavenly Smiles Dentist: Bita Tahvildari, DDS

As a patient with extreme dental anxiety, the search has been arduous to find a dentist that I trust in San Diego. Thankfully, I finally found Dr. Bita Tahvildari and her team, Linda & Rita, an amazing group of women who show extreme kindness and compassion towards their patients. The Heavenly Smiles staff make me feel calm, at ease and confident in their work. They take their time to make sure I’m comfortable and have restored my faith in good dentistry! Not only are these the kind of people you want working on your teeth, but they simply the sort of wonderful people who you want to be around.

We have been visiting this office for a year now and each visit everyone is so nice. Not that fake nice either. The genuine nice. They remember my name and my sons name and small details about us. Like we aren’t just another patient.
Today as I waited for my son to have his cavities filled they sat me in a massage chair and they kept offering me water and tea. That chair was way better than just sitting in the waiting room. Even with navigating through insurance claims and paper work they have been very helpful. I understand people don’t like coming to the dentist but they do a great job at putting you at ease. They have a tablet with Pandora so you don’t hear them doing your fillings. Dr. Bita and Linda have been great. Really everyone in this office is great. Even when you call to schedule an appointment they are very accommodating. It’s a shared space so when you walk in the computer to your right is the other Drs check in area.

This place still amazes me. I wrote my review and within a couple days received a call and a thank you. This staff by far goes above and beyond. They truly care about their patients and that’s very hard to find.

While I dislike going to the dentist in general, my fear and anxiety are put to rest right away when I come here. The friendly staff, especially Dr. Bita, Rita, and Linda, put you at ease with their knowledge and professional touch. They are patient, especially with anxious people like myself, and will explain to you what they will be doing before they begin. I really can’t say enough great things about this staff, they are all wonderful!

Dr. Bita, Dr. Rita and everyone else at Heavenly Smiles were wonderful. I was in their office for four hours and as unpleasant as deep cleanings and fillings usually are, they both did a wonderful job with each procedure. I highly recommend their office, I don’t have a single complaint!

I’ve had a wonderful experience as a new client at Dr. Bita’s office! My first visit was just for a standard check-​up/​cleaning and due to a miscommunication (by one who no longer worked there), my appointment didn’t show up on their schedule. Unfortunately, I couldn’t reschedule for later in the afternoon so the staff did their very best to accommodate me and were very apologetic for the confusion. Rita was my hygienist and she was great in educating me in correct brushing /​flossing. Linda also worked with me to get my mouth guard and through the process and appointments, she made sure she explained everything to me!
Thanks Dr. Bita & Team!

I have had terrible dental experiences in the past so when I went to Dr. Bita’s office I didn’t have great expectations. I had initially gone to her for Botox and thought she was super nice then realized she took my dental insurance so I made an appointment for my kids. My 10 year old daughter has major anxiety and the doctor and her staff were gentle and kind. They were able to give her 3 fillings and even fix a chipped tooth with no tears or problems. They thoroughly explained what they were doing and develop a treatment plan based on urgency of issues. I have recommended Dr. Bita to everyone I know.

All I can say is WOW.
I have been to many many dentists over the years and have never been treated this well before. Both Dr Bita and her assistant Linda explained every last detail to me. They took extra time to examine and discuss all possible options. I am a jumpy patient and for the first time ever I felt completely relaxed, pain free while being worked on and the work is fantastic.
I rarely write a Unilocal review but I had to take the time out today. This was my second visit and they are consistent and genuinely care. That means something in this day in age.
Take a chance and try this dentist. You will not look back :)

I am one of those people who has a stupid, irrational fear about going to the dentist. If you are one of those people too you need to see Dr. Bita!
Dr. Bita and her assistant Linda are amazing. They are both friendly and relaxed all while demonstrating the highest level of professionalism and competance. I love that they take the time to talk me through every little step of a procedure and its purpose before we get started and answer all my questions, whether it’s a simple cleaning or a complex crown. You can tell that they really care about a good patient outcome and not just rushing you through.
Speaking of crowns, I had to get one done on short notice yesterday because I cracked a tooth and I am going out of town. They were able to work me into the schedule and did an incredible job on a difficult tooth. They are very perceptive to even slight signs of discomfort and took great measures to make sure I was comfortable before proceeding with the procedure. Today I have no pain and the temporary crown looks and feels just like it’s my own tooth. I’m truly amazed at how comfortable it is and so grateful not to have any tooth pain going into my vacation.
To summarize: If you’re looking for a kind, gentle, expertly skilled dentist who has a superstar assistant you should probably check out Dr. Bita at Heavenly Smiles Dental.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Casares for years; he and his staff are terrific folks, very professional, and they go above and beyond to make sure the patient is comfortable and in control. I wouldn’t trust my family’s dental care to anyone else!

I have sensitive nerves in my teeth and gums, and so even getting a teeth cleaning, used to be horrible for me. That all changed once I started seeing Dr. Casares back in 1994. I’ve been a patient ever since. His dental hygienist, Janet, is superb, gentle and skilled. Teresa, the office manager, is also professional and personable. His dental assistant, Linda, is also fabulous and skilled. They are a small group, but there is a reason his staff have been with him for years. Their practice is superb, and I was glad they took our dental insurance, which always helps. I can’t say enough great things. It’s scary going to the dentist sometimes, but they all make it a lot easier at Dr. Casares’ office.
