Ace dental is fantastic! Out of all the dental offices Ive been to, this was easily the most plesant. Their staff is all really warm and helpful, they really make you feel welcome. The office is also really up to date with their technology, which personally made the whole process much easier and more comfortable for me. At some of my older dental offices they used a lot of old fashioned techniques that were really painful, but the process here was actually very smooth and significantly less painful. I came in with a pretty advanced case and I already absolutely dread drills and needles so that, for me, was honestly pretty huge. Like I said when I came in for treatment my teeth werent in great shape. Id had some very bad migraines for a while and had to take a lot of medications with side effects to deal with them. Unfortunately, I didnt find out until it was too late that one of those side effects was dry mouth. And as it turns out, dry mouth is actually very very bad for your teeth. In a matter of a few months my dental health plunged, honestly it even got to the point where I would try to hide my teeth when I smiled because I hated the way they looked. Even worse, the dentist I was seeing at the time struggled to do satisfactory work and so I just assumed I was beyond help. I figured I was just out of luck and resigned myself to a mouth full of grey fillings. Eventually I decided I might as well give a new dentist a shot. When I came in Dr Azam reassured me hed handle it and everything. At the time I was skeptical, I just figured thats what every dentist had to say. He turned that around impressively fast, though. The first thing that really impressed me was that he actually showed me my x-rays and explained my case and then how hed fix it step by step. Id been to a lot of dentists offices but they almost never cared enough to explain exactly what was going on. They just told me what they were gonna do to me and then I just had to cross my fingers and hope for the best. Getting to see beforehand what the doctor was planning to do really reassured me that things were going somewhere. As for his actual work, one of the most impressive things I saw was their level of quality. He uses a lot of new technology that Ive never even seen before. For example, they have a machine that sculpts crowns that look really realistic. He also worked very quickly, finishing what I was sure would take years in a matter of months. And maybe MOST impressive thing(to me, anyways) was a technique he had for injecting anesthetic. I wasnt kidding when I said I really dread needles. And I dont know exactly what he did differently, but about half the time I didnt even feel the injection! Overall I was really happy with my experience at Ace Dental. My smile is now looking great and I feel more confident than I have in a long time. I definitely recommend it.

I was 25 years late, but I finally decided to get braces to fix crowded teeth and an overbite. After speaking to a few doctors, I decided to go with Dr. Saeed. The two things that stuck out the most are Dr. Saeeds sincere care for the patient and his knowledge in orthodontics. The other doctors I visited seemed much more concerned with fleecing me for thousands of dollars much less the outcome. The entire experience wearing braces through Dr. Saeed and Ahmed was perfect. First off, he would consult with me and let me know what he was doing, why he was going, and what to expect with every visit. He made sure that I was comfortable and clearly explained all my options and provided excellent advice on the direction of my treatment. Second, Dr. Saeed and Ahmed gives a new meaning to the word "efficient". The office is normally filled with patients, but they have a seamless systems in which patients are seen within 5 minutes of checking in. Thats amazing! I was always used to waiting 45 minutes in the waiting froom with other doctors. Once he sees you, he efficently gets the job in a painless manner and you are on your way. The perfect balance of efficiency without sacrificing quality. Thrid, the staff here is great! Some of the people have become personal friends of mine. Last, and probably most importantly, the results were incredible! I went from having crowded teeth and an overbite to having awesome teeth and no overbite in 6 months! No one that sees my teeth can believe that these results happened in 6 months because it usually takes 1-2 years. I highly recommend anyone looking for general dentistry of orthodontic services to visit Dr. Saeed.

I got my braces put on may of 2016 I only needed the 4 front bottom teeth straightened, but was told to just do a full set ok well a year went by I go in to get them changed Dr.Saed says my braces are ready to come off I repeatedly told him I felt like one tooth wasnt ready he said if thats the case hell give me the invisalign after I pay my balance ok sure no problem, well I got my retainer & it didnt even fit but still tried to wear it I went back twice & called to tell them with in a week it didnt even go on all the way like come on Ive seen retainers before still didnt want to re mold them unless I paid $125 for another set. the 1 tooth I thought wasnt ready was crooked in 4 days of getting the braces off so I went in he said ok pay your balance & well do invisalign, well here it is 2.5 months later & I dont even want to go back for the "free" invisalign or to pay my balance my 4 teeth are back to crooked again & I threw away almost 3,000 & they want me to pay the balance for crooked teeth? More like fix what I have already paid for than Ill pay the balance & do invisalign, Im a single mom so I worked hard to pay my braces it was a mothers day gift to my self & for what? I started woth crooked teeth & ended with crooked teeth, they brag because they are the cheapest around yes the cheapest quality & customer service. When I called to speak with Saed about this problem she said Ill have to pay the remainder balance before I could get an appointment so I said can you ask him to call me, well 2.5 months later still no call back -Stevi Valois

Im a 43 year old patient who can testify that in all my years of seeing different dentists out there that Dr. Saeed is the BEST dentist Ive ever had. He performed an implant today on me and considering the fact that he removed an entire tooth, it was relatively painless and all my anxiety regarding what to expect was really all in my head. Unlike any dentist Ive used before (and believe me when I say Ive had a lot as someone who has veneers and other extensive dental work), Dr. Saeed is the ONLY dentist I know that takes the time to explain what is going on and review ALL of your options "clearly" comparing the pros and cons between them all along the way. He will also work with you in terms of payment options and has "hooked" me up with some things where he believes your health should come first over gouging his patients for every little thing. This seems contrary to the recent trend of what most dentists do these days who confuse their vocation with that of being an attorney and billing for every stupid thing under the sun which I absolutely loath!!! It is for this very reason that I can honestly say his heart is in the right place when it comes to truly caring for his patience. If you are seeking a really good dentist who happens to have a great personality to boot and fit much needed work within an affordable payment plan, then Dr. Saeed is your guy! I plan on using him as my dentist for as long as I am able.
