Dr. Vakilian understands that a visit to the dentist is not at the top of the “favorite things to do”  list for most people. Some patients consider a visit to the dentist as a stressful experience and may avoid seeking treatment.

Every day, she strives to ensure that her patients are as relaxed and as stress-free as possible while providing them with outstanding dental care. She holds herself to the highest standard of clinical excellence and believes that it is her duty to consult with every patient individually, to explain all treatment options clearly, as well as to answer any questions that they may have.

She is a member of the San Diego County Dental Society, the California Dental Association, the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the Osteoready Implant Club.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. As a general dentist, Dr. Vakilian diagnoses and treats dental issues, as well as helps patients to develop better oral health regimens. 

Dr. Vakilian is fluent in Farsi. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling with her husband and trying new foods from different parts of the world. She also enjoys cooking, listening to music, hiking, and spending time with her family. She is an avid dog lover and loves spending time with her terrier, Cuspid.
