This is a new dentist for our family. So far super transparent dentist. Doesn’t intend to fix what isnt broken. Refreshing to have a dentist not just out for the money all those unnecessary root canals and implants bring. Appreciate the honesty so far. Will update after I go in for a new crown next month. Stay tuned😊

Very clean! All the staff are wonderful! They really listen, helpful and you get the feeling they care! I’ve done some cleanings and scheduled more of my needs. My anxiety seems less with the Dr. so I’m hoping for great experiences in my future dental care here! Thank you all!

Had 3 great experiences here. Crowns, extractions, and cleanings. Outstanding dentist who handled my dental phobia beautifully. From Debi in the office, to the assistant and hygienist, everyone here is well qualified, honest, and all around a great office. Prices are considerably lower than many places I have gotten work done. Highly recommend Dr. Asil and his staff.

Great experience! Ive never written a review on a dental office before, but was so impressed by Dr. Asil and his staff that I felt compelled to write one. Everything about my two recent visits was top-notch, from the friendly front office staff to the on-time service and all the way through the work performed. Everyone was kind and seemed to genuinely care and enjoy working there. Im very happy with the results and will certainly be coming back for my regular check-ups. Be sure to ask for Aubrey as your hygienist, she is amazing!

Have had nothing but great experiences with Smile Dental. Dr Asil, Debbie, Deanna and there whole team have always made me comfortable. Had to come in to have a lot of work done after several years without a dental visit and they have all helped make the process easy. I moved 40 mins away and still make the drive because I know the service and smiles I am going to get from Smile Dental.

I am thoroughly impressed with the facility and staff at Smile Design Dental. The facility has new equipment and tools giving it a high quality feel. The waits have been minimal and youre in and out within an hour. My entire family has had recent visits and theyve all left smiling with cleaner teeth and goodies to last us until the next visit, including toys for the kids. I havent had any insurance surprises either which is a huge plus, the quotes I received have proven to be accurate. All and all, I think this is a great place to have your dental work handled. The staff are very friendly and make you feel like the number one priority while your there making the experience first rate!

I People look at me crazy when I say I love going to the dentist. Not only because I like to take care of my smile but I also look forward to my visits at Smile Design Dental Group. Everyone that works there is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Dr. Asil provides nothing but the best service and truly cares about every single one of his patients. Its hard to find good dentist, so its safe to say I will keep going back to his office for many years to come!

Review β„–18

Dr. Asil has performed many dental procedures for our family, including crowns for myself, non-removal of wisdom teeth for my wife due to potentially serious complications, and braces for our teenager. Also I had a recent emergency while in San Diego and the office stayed open late to accommodate a procedure. We are originally from New England (his degree is from Boston University) and find his staff are friendly and helpful and the practice is professionally run without pushing un- procedures. Dr. Asil has an excellent bedside manner and always offers all options and talks through all procedures whether a routine filling or a complex dual crown. This practice takes all standard insurance and is a refreshing normal Dentist in Orange County, CA. We fully recommend Smile Designs for any family seeking a regular Dental service.

Everyone in this office is such a delight. I truly feel like I have a friendly relationship with everyone in this office. They take their time, but dont waste yours, and treat you like you are a VIP. Dr. Asil is truly an expert in what he does, (he can even tell that I drink too much tea just by looking at my stain patterns). I have been going to this office for year and recommend friends all the time.Thanks for the great service!Tessa

Review β„–26

I was referred to Dr. Asil about 4 years ago and I have never had such a gentle and caring dentist. I have since referred him to several people, including my husband. One of my clients that was terrified of dentist went to Dr. Asil and was so happy. I told him that I love my dentist and he was like wow, I have never heard a person say that about a dentist. He has a very good team of people in his office and even though I do not like going to the dentist I have yet to walk out in pain or unhappy.Shari Miscione

I have been going to Smile Design since it first opened up. The staff is friendly, rarely do I have to wait in the waiting area, and Dr. Asils easy going manner makes the visit almost pleasant. I normally go for a cleaning but he has done several crowns for me and havent had a problem with any of them; they were perfect from the get-go.

Exceptional! The staff are very knowledgeable and very informative. My insurance is handled without a glitch. Doctor Arash and staff takes all the time that is necessary to make sure procedures are totally understandable and cared for even if needed beyond normal hours . The fees are very reasonable especially for the extra time he takes with each patient. The play room for children is very helpful.

Review β„–31

Prices are high; and I really wish that they would call back when they promise. One dentist and he goes from one patient to another; making a visit too darn long.I cannot pay $1000 for treatment and would rather just have my tooth pulled, so I asked for the price just to pull the tooth. I was told that they would email me today and that was a few days ago. I am still waiting.

We just moved to this area and had a dental emergency on a Friday afternoon. Smile Design was the only place open near us, and they did a marvelous job.

Smile Design Groups staff is professional and so friendly! Dr. Asil is by far the best dentist my family has ever seen! Dr. Asil has done quite a bit of complicated work on 2 of my childrens teeth.

Review β„–42

After decades of dental care, I experienced a β€œfirst” at Smile Design Dental Group. Empathy. The dentist’s office is not my happy place. I have never been treated badly but until meeting Dr. Arash Asil, I have never experienced a dentist who really seems to understand that some people really do dread dental procedures. Rather than brushing aside my fears (β€œYou won’t feel a thing!” … β€œIt will be over before you know it!” … and on and on), Dr. Asil takes the time to explain what needs to be done, how he will do it, and the options he can offer to make me feel as comfortable as possible. When I told him, β€œI just hate the injection,” he answered: β€œI know. I do, too.” Finally I feel I’ve found a dentist who understands that being a dental scaredy-cat should be met with kindness. Thank you, Dr. Asil and your similarly kind staff! And thank you for offering your in-house insurance which gives great discounts on all procedures!

Review β„–44

After an unfortunate 5+ year breach of attending to my dental care, I walked into Dr. Asil’s office and have felt to be on the right track ever since. Debbie is everything a receptionist ought to be: kind, welcoming, and helpful. Their office and whole facility is clean and well organized. The entire staff has been nothing but patient and professional with my extensive concerns. Dr. Asil himself is knowledgeable, straightforward, and detail-oriented, which are qualities I find most necessary in a dentist. Best of all, all of this comes with a great in-house deal for those who do not have dental insurance.

I absolutely love going to Dr. Asil! He is extremely knowledgeable about dentistry and fully explains each and every procedure to me before we commence. I use to be so scared of going to the dentist because of the pain, but I really dont feel anything with Dr. Asil, even the initial shots. I cant recommend Smile Design enough. Once you go you will know exactly what I mean.

Review β„–52

My family and I go to Dr. Asils office because he actually cares about our teeth more than his wallet. From the beginning, he has never pressured us to pay for a procedure that wasnt necessary like so many other dentists do in this city. We are so glad we found him and I always recommend him to others.

Dr: Asil and his staff are very professional and friendly . I am a regular patient and would be remiss if I didnt give Dr: Asil a thumbs up for calling me from his cell phone after working hours to see how I was doing after oral surgery. He even expressed to me to dont hesitate to call him if I had complications--surgery went great!! Highly recommend!!

Review β„–54

I have known Dr. Asil for many years and recommend his courteous, competent service. A few years ago when my wife had mild sedation deep cleaning, I was prepared to pick her up so that she would not have to drive herself. When she was ready to come home, Dr. Asil insisted he would deliver her to our home in Dana Point so that I would not have to make the round trip. I dont know any other dentist or doctor who would do that! Hes a fine man with a clean, pleasant office.

I was new to the area and looking for a great dentist. I found Doctor Asil and his team who were absolutely fabulous! Debbie looked up my insurance and did all the background work for me.Usually I feel very nervous in a dentist office, but Melanie and Dr. Asil are very down to earth and professional, I felt right at home!They filled a tooth for me and it was an easy and painless transition. I would recommend Smile Design Dental Group in a heart beat!

Review β„–56

Being in the medical industry over 25 years, words cannot overstate the wonderful experience I received at Dr. Asil office. His compassion for his patients and detail services goes beyond the standard practice in the dental industry. His commitment to provide the best dental care is one of many reasons why my entire family of 5 continues to look forward in seeing him time after time. Dr. Asil quality of patient care is an example for others in the industry to follow by. Give him a try and it will be the last time looking for dental care. He’s a 10 out of 10 on services rendered.Kirk Rose - Dana Point Ca.

Review β„–57

Smile Design is an Absolutely Wonderful Dental Practice. I had just recently moved down to San Clemente, CA and I was in need of help with my teeth. I was in extreme pain! Being new to the area, I didnt really know any San Clemente Dentists and was afraid of going to a bad one. One day I was driving and passed by their office. My teeth were hurting so bad that I decided that I couldnt hesitate anymore. I walked in and was immediately greeted by Smile Designs friendly staff. They got me into the dentist chair quickly and the Dentist told me that he would get me out of pain as soon as possible. And he did! I am so grateful to Smile Design. Everything about them from their beautiful office and their pleasant staff to the Dr. Asils Kindness and their affordable prices was really amazing. As far as Im concerned, Smile Design Dental Group is the best San Clemente Dentist around. Thanks, Smile Design!!

Review β„–59

When I heard the word root canal my heart raced. I have always been extremely afraid of proceedures including cavities. My last visit was when I had my wisdom teeth extracted, which was rough but my recovery went well. I was so scared to have my root canal. I was crying before we started my root canal because I anticipated a lot of pain. Throughout my proceedure I was in no pain at all. I have never had such a good experience at the dentist before! I would recommend anyone to come here! The staff is amazing and will accommodate you with anything you need!

Dr. Asil is one of the best dentist I have ever been to. Ive been coming to Dr. Asils practice for the last few years. His staff are all super friendly and welcoming. Debbie is at the front desk and she is the sweetest. I came to smile design because my jaw was shifting and it was leading to tmj. For Dr. Asil it was no problem and he has completely fixed it. I never write reviews but, because he is so great I want others to know so he gets the business he deserves! Thanks Dr. And smile design !

Review β„–72

Dr. Asil and the associates at his office are not only efficient and knowledgeable at what they do, but theyre extremely friendly and very customer service oriented. Ive been visiting the office for over 5 years and have never had a bad experience in that time.The receptionist is always courteous and attends to scheduling my appointments, while letting me know what coverage my insurance provides (which is great because I don’t want any surprises when it comes to billing).The dental assistants are outgoing and good about remembering any trouble spots I had from previous visits and they follow-up with the appropriate care.Most importantly, Dr. Asil is easy to talk to, very attentive and also thorough in his examinations. (I’ve been to other dental offices where the assistants usually handle most patient visits, leaving the doctor to attend to only major surgery. Dr. Asil is involved every time I visit and that gives me a comfort level I don’t get from other dental practices.)The technology in the office is fantastic because I get to see up-close high-resolution photos of where work needs to be done on quality computer screens. Outside the office, I get e-mail reminders and text messages confirming my appointments, which is extremely helpful because I’m in my car a lot and not always near my home calendar.Visiting Dr. Asil and his associates is always a pleasant experience and makes going to the dentist not only tolerable, but even enjoyable. (Of course, part of that is my responsibility. It helps if you brush and floss well, like I do.)

Review β„–73

I have been a patient of Dr. Asils for 5+ years now. I am extremely pleased with the quality of patient care and the outcome of my orthodontia and routine dental care at Smile Design Dental Group. Dr. Asil is a perfectionist and it shows in his results. He tells you exactly what to expect, good or bad. The staff at SDDG is very friendly and knowledgeable, so if you are considering a family dentist, I can not recommend Dr. Asil highly enough.
