The hygienist, Annie, does an amazing job cleaning your teeth. I’ve been getting deep cleanings and periodontal maintenance for 15 years at different dental offices, and I must say that Annie’s work is the best I’ve seen so far. Even my periodontist, whom I see in La Jolla every six months for follow-ups, told me that the cleaning was done exceptionally well! I hope Annie stays at Clairemont Smiles, but even if she doesn’t, I’ll follow her wherever she goes!

I’ve had such a great experience with Dr. Haidar’s orthodontic staff! Dr. Haidar is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly kind and attentive. He always takes the time to explain everything clearly and make sure I’m comfortable with each step of my treatment. Marella at the front desk is amazing as well! She’s so friendly, organized, and always makes me feel welcomed the moment I walk in. Scheduling is a breeze with her, and she’s super helpful if I ever have questions. Overall, the office has a warm, welcoming vibe and I truly feel like I’m in good hands every time I come in. Highly recommend Dr. Haidar and his team!

Im not a fan of the dentist like anyone else but, they’re very welcoming here. Dr. Lauren Ho is amazing, professional, and very friendly. Her staff is awesome, I can tell which ones are learning too. I finally found a hygienist I like, her name is Annie. She is super friendly, outgoing, and always laughing or smiling. I’m new to this location and I have been in and out of many dental offices. I have stories during the “COVID times” of other offices not making patients feel welcomed. So, Thank you Lauren and Annie for making an anxiety ridden man feel calm enough to get dental treatment done. I appreciate everything y’all do.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
