About Zaihly A. Santana, DDS

Having healthy teeth and a great-looking smile takes some effort, but the results are well worth it. And having a dentist on your side every step of the way is an important part of that journey. Dr. Zaihly Azar has earned a reputation as a skilled, compassionate dentist in San Diego by offering the most advanced care solutions for patients of all ages. Dr. Azar has an unflagging dedication to helping patients improve their oral health and enjoy beautiful, healthy smiles at every stage of life. At Beautiful Smiles Dental, Dr. Azar offers comprehensive dental care, including preventive, restorative, and cosmetic options like dental implants, Invisalign® orthodontics, root canal therapy, teeth whitening treatments, and nonsurgical treatment of sleep apnea. Dr. Azar is committed to providing patient-centered care that’s focused on the needs and treatment goals of each patient. Treatments begin with a thorough exam and evaluation, including special diagnostic techniques designed to identify subtle signs of problems like apnea and bruxism (chronic teeth grinding), both of which can have serious implications for both your oral health and your overall health and wellness. In addition to regular cleanings, checkups, and planned care, Dr. Azar helps patients manage urgent issues, including toothaches, damaged restorations, and traumatic injuries, which means you have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dentist can handle all your oral health needs. Dr. Azar is dedicated to establishing long-term relationships with her patients, and she welcomes the opportunity to provide state-of-the-art care for new patients throughout the San Diego area. The practice accepts most major dental insurance plans, and the office staff can help you identify convenient financing plans to help make the cost of treatment more affordable.
