Finding a dentist who we can trust is major; after all, this is our smile, our face to the world. I'm now past 65+ - My teeth seemed perfectly fine until they started spacing in my mouth - I've always had a great smile and a healthy mouth, I thought! No swollen gums - no bleeding - what could be the problem? Even though I had cleanings once or twice a year, I discovered after visiting my dentist in Portland Or, I had great bone loss, which was the reason for my shifting teeth. This dentist gave me sad, scary, shocking and super expensive news. After some research I found that Dentist can charge what ever they want - so in some ways they're like mechanics. If you find a good one, who is honest - go with her, and tell your friends. I'd heard about going to Mexico, for many reasons, so I began my search. I found a lot of dental shops that sounded like they were herding cattle. This is I did not want. I prefer personal care. I found Dr. Amy Khajavi in San Diego - Dr Amy is amazing, gentle and explains everything on the first visit, as you're looking at an Xray of the inside of your head from every angle. Her equipment is the latest state of the art Xray machines. The office is super clean and her staff is attentive and caring.
I needed a lot of dental care including implants - as Dr Amy pointed our, this is a process. First surgery, bone loss repair, implants, months of healing time, then the final fitting of my new smile. The entire surgery, bone repair and implants were done in one visit. What I want to brag about this, I didn't even know it was happening..and NO PAIN. In fact there has been NO PAIN, for me, this entire process. Also, a great price, at least one we could swallow without choking. What I love is the Metal Free Ceramic Implants and NO METAL or infection left in my mouth. MY mouth feels fabulous. The process is involved and Dr Amy and her excellent staff are there if we have questions. I am now less than 6 weeks away from getting my new smile complete. Dr Amy did make a temporary so I could at least have some kind of teeth in my mouth. I'm soo excited to post a photo here when I'm complete. In the mean time - choosing Dr Amy is choosing a dentist who has great expertise, a dentist who stays educated not only in the dental industry but also internal medicine. Also, a dentist who is sensitive to our individual needs as we move though this. I really appreciate her compassionate nature. Having a calm confidence that we've made the right choice and we are in perfect care is a big deal going forward with any procedure. Personally I feel blessed to have found this Dentist and her staff.

The best place to start is always the beginning. My experience with Dr. Amy began with an internet search. I’ve always been self conscious about my smile but as a full time independent artist, cosmetic dental procedures aren’t high on the feasible list of priorities. Nevertheless this is something that I’ve wanted to correct for a long time. As I searched for solutions Dr. Amy stood out. The reviews, the recognition in her field, the experience, and she’s headquartered in San Diego, CA. I hat wasn’t to love?
And it only got better. I live in Denver, CO so I had to do my first consultation over Zoom. I’d be remiss to not mention Esther. Esther is an angel I swear. At any rate between the two of them I felt more than comfortable, eager in fact, to begin the journey with All Natural Dentistry. Then things got worse, but better, but definitely worse. During my first visit for the in person evaluation Dr K. revealed to me the seriousness of what I was actually dealing with. An abscess that threatened not only my smile and self esteem, one that could very well affect my long term health. After returning to Denver it also came to light that the independent nature of my healthcare situation would seriously complicate my ability to get the treatment that I didn’t just want... that I needed. So much so that weeks before my scheduled appointment, I called to cancel.
Dr. Amy and Esther both weren’t having it. Im paraphrasing but, “We’ll figure it out” was the sentiment. To be honest it felt more like a maternal gesture of genuine care for my health. Needless to say I was floored because sadly, in today’s world... that’s not usually how that works. So I flew out and began the process under Dr Amy’s advisement. The entire day of my procedure was like stuff I’ve only seen on television shows... all the way down to Wather and Dr. K’s husband seeing me to the hotel.. The “for the good of the patient” storyline we’ve all seen and in the back of our minds been like “if only that were the case in real life”. I’m telling you straight up, it is. To the staff, Dr Amy, Esther, everyone at All Natural Dentistry, all the words truly cannot encompass or encapsulate what it is that I have to say to you... because thank you isn’t enough. There’s so much more.... but... this journey is far from over... so for now it will have to do. My most sincere and deepest heart felt thanks to all of you. To anyone that reads this trust me when I say that the good people at All Natural Dentistry have more than just your procedure on their schedule... They have your health and well being in their hearts... and that’s really... really ... awesome to realize.
Sincerely and with love, Oren Brian Lomena

After much research and consultations with several dentists on ceramic zirconia vs titanium implants, I concluded that ceramic implants would be just as strong, and a healthier biocompatible choice than titanium. At that point it was a matter of finding the best dentist to do the work. I found Dr. Khajavi on the Ceraroot website, and sent her my X-Rays. Once I spoke with her, I was blown away by how much time she gave me to explain my issues, and eased the concerns I had. Not only is she an extremely warm and compassionate doctor, it was evident that she possessed the extraordinary expertise and skill required to restore my smile to the best outcome I could ever possibly hope for! I flew to San Diego, and had my consultation with her, using her state-of-the-art 3-D imagery and equipment.
Mine was a difficult case of upper mouth severe bone loss, failed crowns, failed root canals, gum recession, and infections. One area of infection had almost penetrated my sinus cavity. We scheduled my surgery a week later at her surgery suite in Rosarito Mexico, where she performs work on more difficult cases with her team of local professionals there. Having the work done in Mexico for these more extensive surgeries also allows Dr. Khajavi to charge much less than what it would cost to have that same work done in the U.S.
Dr. Khajavi tries to make it affordable for her patients as much as possible so that they do not have to compromise on the quality of restorations that are available to them. My 6 hour surgery on Friday went exceptionally well, with Dr. Khajavi being able to give me 11 ceramic implants with bone grafting and a sinus lift. On Monday back in Dr. Khajavi’s San Diego clinic, she performed an exam and new X-Rays, and was so pleased with the rate of healing that was already evident. I will need to let the soft tissue to continue to heal before I return in a month for my temporaries, which will only be used for aesthetic purposes, and not chewing. I will have to continue to blend my food for the next 4-5 months before retuning a final time to have my new porcelain crowns placed on my ceramic implants. I can’t wait to see my new smile! I want to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Khajavi from the bottom of my heart, for her outstanding work, and making my dream to have a beautiful smile and teeth once again a reality! A special thanks to Argy, for her kindness in bringing me chicken soup and meds in Mexico, and the rest of Dr. Khajavi’s staff who take such good care of their patients! I’m grateful beyond words can convey. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
