5 stars! I absolutely love Aesthetic Dentistry of Noe Valley. Dental visits have always been…read moredifficult for me because I feel very uncomfortable being on my back with someone leaning over me. It can make me really anxious. Since Growing up in shelters, I didn't always have the best dental experiences. When I had dental problems, I was usually sent to school clinics or low-cost dental offices where many of the workers were students or very new. Because of that, going to the dentist was never something I felt comfortable with. But the team at Aesthetic Dentistry of Noe Valley has been completely different. They are always welcoming, patient, flexible, and incredibly understanding. They truly make an effort to make sure I feel comfortable and cared for during my visits. They've given me something priceless a sense of security and peace of mind when it comes to my dental care. Thank you for making my experience so positive and for treating your patients with such kindness and compassion.

This review is long overdue! Dr. Rabanus truly saved my teeth, and I couldn't be happier that I…read morefound him. I took a leap of faith by choosing him based solely on online reviews, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. After a devastating experience with my lifelong childhood dentist--someone I trusted completely--I was left with a botched veneer/crown case that caused me so much stress and regret. From my very first consultation, Dr. Rabanus took the time to explain exactly what had happened to my teeth, walked me through every step of the revision process, and created a clear plan to restore my smile. He was incredibly compassionate, patient, and understanding of everything I had been through. He truly held my hand through the entire process and made me feel heard and supported. Thanks to Dr. Rabanus, I no longer have sensitivity, the unnatural yellow color is gone, and I finally have the smile I always hoped for. I honestly couldn't be happier with the results. I recently found a new general dentist for my routine cleanings, and without me even mentioning who did my work, he said my veneers and crowns were some of the best he had ever seen. His exact words were, "Whoever did your veneers and crowns did an excellent job--they're sealed perfectly." After everything I went through before finding Dr. Rabanus, hearing that from another dental professional was incredibly reassuring and meant the world to me. If you're looking for someone who is exceptionally skilled, verrrrrry meticulous, honest, and genuinely cares about his patients, I cannot recommend Dr. Rabanus enough. I will always be grateful for what he did for me. Hopefully this review is found by someone "like me" who is solely going off of reviews.

I have a pretty complicated case - crossbite + front incisor implant. I had some crowns done by a…read moredifferent cosmetic dentist several years ago, but was never really happy with them. I decided to see Dr. Rabanus for a consultation after seeing his glowing reviews here. Consultation: The consultation was straightforward. He explained my case difficulties in a very straightforward, matter-of-fact manner. He felt confident he could dramatically improve my smile. He also suggested some additional lower veneers, which I agreed with. It was clear he knew what he was talking about, and showed me photos from other cases to give me additional confidence in my decision. I was IN. The Process: The procedures themselves were straightforward. First session was to get molds for temporaries. Second to remove the crowns and prep teeth for veneers. Third was to install the permanent crowns (had to do a minor do-over on one set - see below). Took about a month. Dr Rabanus also works weekends or late evenings too which is great for busy professionals like me. Results: The results? ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR. I am so happy with my smile now. As Austin powers said- "I got my mojo back"! Everything from the color to the shape is gorgeous. Just the right shade of white to be eye catching without being obvious (e.g. NOT fake Hollywood blinding white). I've got many - many - compliments on my smile. I have never met someone who is so particular abut the results of his work and so determined to ensure his work is EXACTLY what I want. As an example, he sent the crowns back to the lab because they were not the precise shape he wanted (I couldn't tell the difference, but he could.) Pros: - Extremely meticulous and conscientious - Confident and capable. Stays on top of the latest research and techniques (in addition to his Dental degree, he also has a PhD). - Provides clear options and ideas on type of restorative work to be done. I appreciate him sharing his thinking process and how he arrives at the treatment plan he recommends. - Never "pushes" treatment options. Final decision is always up to the Patient. Cons: - None I can think of. Personality wise, I am very type A, so I am very involved in, and always need to know lots of details about, the care and treatment plans. Dr. Rabanus is unfailingly respectful - I found him to be an excellent partner in my care. Summary: I highly recommend Dr. Rabanus. The quality of his work is beyond superb. A modern day Da Vinci, he couples an artist's eye with a scientist's focus on perfection - it's a rare and unusual combination that produces really extraordinary results. You will be very happy with the results of his work. I know I am.

Received a call back from Susan(?) as to whether or not Dr. Soto is accepting new clients. Had left…read morethe details in my voice message to them as well as in response to (what I consider to be) the invasive text message I received from them after leaving voicemail. Nevertheless, she asked me why I was calling. You don't review your messages before calling someone back? On top of this, she was rude, short, unfriendly, and uncooperative. She told me Soto is only doing cosmetic and no general dentistry now. Told her I need 4-6 implant crowns. She said he's only doing veneers and full smile makeovers. Are crowns not cosmetic? I don't know how these people get hired with such abysmal people skills. In any event, I won't ever know if his work is any good or not, only that this office staff was a huge turn-off. Train your employees properly, people. They are a reflection of you and your business.

I was instantly sold and the team worked hard to schedule the consultation and other appointments to get the veneers ready in time for my wedding! The office was also so clean and I loved the iPad set up to watch shows during the procedures with comfy headphones - such a nice addition! The whole process felt so organized and seamless, Dr. Soto made me feel instantly at ease, and I ended up getting the top front four teeth done to also correct for some spacing that I've been self conscious about since middle school! The results were beyond perfect and I'm so so happy - my only regret is not doing them sooner! 100/10 would recommend!!

I was under her care right before and in the beginning of Covid. I had Invisalign through her…read morepractice. Her bedside manner is horrid - very rude and pushy. Not the point. Ever since treatment my jaw click is terrible, it clicks and cracks constantly. An issue I never had. Additionally my lower front teeth show lots of wear. I got my 5 year scans done (a little late) last month and I have significant root degradation of my two upper front teeth. I have decades of teeth scans and the degradation only started after her treatment. Today I saw a different orthodontist - the changes that Dr. Cheng made to my bite makes my lower teeth contact my upper front teeth. It's lots of force to my front teeth. It's likely that their treatment and changes to my bite caused this. Not only has that constant contact likely caused root deterioration, I've had jaw pain and clicking, and my lower teeth are worn. I will be redoing Invisalign with a new ortho to correct these issues.

I truly feel that the team has my best interest at heart. Stella, in particular, always takes the time and care to thoroughly clean my teeth and help me maintain good oral health. I'm someone who unfortunately has "bad genes" when it comes to my teeth, with weaker enamel and a tendency to get calcium buildup, so having a caring and knowledgeable team makes such a big difference. Everyone is so friendly and reassuring that I actually look forward to coming to the dentist now, which I never thought I'd say! The office is clean and decorated to make the dentist visit more welcoming. I'm very grateful to have found such a wonderful team. Highly recommend Soothing Dental!

And soon after the Dentist - Dr. Saeidi came in and we went over the X-rays and she looked at my teeth and we discussed any other concerns or questions I had. She took her time explaining my current issue and all the options and possibilities so I fully understood everything and together we put a dental plan together that makes perfect sense for me.

She's kind, warm, and has built a wonderful team around her (shoutout to Randy, Shar, and everyone else who's been so welcoming over the years!!!). She goes above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable and genuinely NEVER in pain, which, if you've had rough dental experiences before, you know is HUGE. I trust her and her practice enough that I've now referred my wife to her too!
