Sara H Deen, DDS

Fantastic dentist, very attentive, honest and had her full attention during my visit. I had a full exam and discussed all options available to me. Wonderful to speak with and she did a phenomenal job on my teeth. I sincerely enjoyed my visit with Dr. Deen.

Dr. Deen is phenomenal! She literally has been the best dentist I have ever been to. I definitely have a fear of the dentist and Dr. Deen completely put me at ease. She is incredibly personable, explains everything thoroughly step by step, and is in general just a pleasure to be around. I absolutely am keeping her as my permanent dentist and trust her completely. I’m recommending her to all of my family and friends!

Since I moved to the South Bay five years ago I’ve probably tried 4 or 5 dentists with less than positive experiences. I don’t know why finding a dentist is such a personal issue for me, perhaps it’s because I had a great dentist in Seattle who has set the bar exceedingly high. I’m very picky and judgmental with whom I allow to stick sharp objects into my mouth.
However, now I can say I’ve found a dentist that has met, or even exceeded my experience in the Pacific Northwest.
First of all you need to know that Dr Deen is just now starting her private practice in the SouthBay. Prior to this she has been a dentistry professor at UCLA. She is sharing office space with another Dr right while she is putting into position her aggressive marketing plan. If I was a new family moving to the SouthBay who doesn’t have a dentist in place I would get on her patient list now because I feel confident she will eventually have to stop accepting new patients as she will become too busy.
So why did I like her so much? Probably because she was honest. I told her the plan the last two dentists had for my teeth and, although she could see some issues, she said those concerns were not urgent and, except for one small cavity we needed to fill, were not necessary at this time. She was relatively blunt in telling me about how many dental practices are offering discounted packages to get the patients into the office. Deeply discounted cleaning and exams. These doctors lose money with these offers and quite often they need to find dental services to pay for this lost revenue. No one is being unethical, but they might find small issues and recommend you get them done now vs waiting. It’s a practice that’s been used in other industry’s for decades and just recently has become a common practice in Dentistry and other medical industries. Loss leaders.
Technically she was awesome. I had to get a deep cleaning which requires the Dentist to get way below my gumline with her ultrasonic instruments. No fun. But Dr Deen was proactive in numbing my mouth with a numbing gel where other dentists just powered thru without a concern for my comfort.
So I now have my new dentist after a five year search. Now to find a good mechanic.

Dr. Deen is THE best! Went in today for a filling and she was very friendly and explained everything to me and asked if I had any questions before she even started the procedure. I’ve had some bad experiences with the dentist and never really liked going, but Dr. Deen was very gentle and made sure that I was comfortable throughout the procedure. After the filling was done, she even sprayed a gentle lavender mist on me as a fragrant cue that the appointment was over. Definitely the best dental experience I’ve had and I would highly recommend her for those of you who dislike going to the dentist like me!

I had just started my Invisalign trays when I was transferred to Dr. Deen. A bit nervous since I loved my last dentist, but decided to take a chance. She is thorough, sweet, attentive and makes going to the dentist an easier task. I recently went in for my checkup and cleaning. She was very thorough and detailed as she cleaned my teeth. My teeth felt clean! She even checked in with me to see how I was feeling later that day!
Everytime I used to go to the dentist it felt like the dentist would push me into treatment I didn’t need and I would be spending 1000s of dollars just on dental treatment. However, I didn’t feel any of that pressure with Dr Deen. She is conservative and recommends the treatment needed for you. She is very knowledgeable and answers all my questions. It shows that she actually cares for her patients.
Her office is in a beautiful location and her staff great. I’m actually looking forward to my next visit to see the progress of my teeth!

Went here for cleaning and wow, that felt like a real cleaning! Not only was the job done professionally the dentist and assistant genuinely cared about your comfort. I used to go to SmileCare and I’m not sure if it’s just this particular location? it had no windows, this one doesn’t feel like a jail, thank goodness. From the dental chair is a big bright and vibrant view of trees. I never felt so at home at a dental office. And to top off my visit they applied lip balm and sprayed a little face mist on me when my cleaning was done (they ask you first if you would like some). One of the BEST dentist visits I have ever had. Five stars for being so friendly!

I never liked going to the dentist until I went to Dr. Deen. She is truly passionate about her profession and well educated in her field.
She genuinely cares for her patients’ health and it reflects in her work. I never realized how much of a difference a healthy and bright smile makes!
Professional and personable is a winning combo when looking for a health professional and Dr. Deen surpasses both qualities. Be assured, you will be in the care of very skilled and caring hands.

Came in for my cleaning last week. She did such a thorough job! It was a total spa experience. Definitely, who I will
be going to forever! Her staff is super friendly too.
