About Dr. Saeidi
She built the practice to deliver the kind of unhurried, expert dental care you’d expect from a concierge medical doctor — but for teeth.
At Soothing Dental there is one dentist. Dr. Saeidi does your exam, your treatment plan and your major procedures herself, so you aren’t passed between rotating associates. When a case needs it, we have specialists who come to our office.
Her clinical interests include cosmetic dentistry, complex full-mouth rehabilitation, sedation for anxious patients, and innovative non-surgical alternatives like Curodont and injectable gum regeneration. She also reviews every prescription order placed through our online prescription service.
