Davis Smile Center/Dr. J. Afkham - Davis, California

Mariah Alexis

First I’m gonna start this off with the fact that I haven’t been to the dentist in 16 years, due to parental neglect when I was a teen and just feeling immense anxiety that I didn’t go when I became an adult and for the fear of being judged. I called around different dental offices to see who was accepting my insurance (delta dental) and this office accepted it and accepted me. The receptionist, I believe her name is Diana, very sweet woman and immediately treated me with kindness and warmth. I needed that, then the assistant who did my X-rays and the Dr himself were so understanding and very tender with me and my dental anxiety. I highly recommend this Dental office if you are searching for one! I’m very happy being their patient and I look forward to my next visits!

At the time of writing this I have only been in for a new patient evaluation/consult and cleaning. It was difficult to get someone on the phone but their text line worked great and responded the same day. I got in the same week both for my new patient appointment and my cleaning! Both went really well. I get very anxious and am a big teeth grinder. But Dr. Arkham reminded me to take deep breaths and took the time to explain everything to me. No judgement for not having had a regular checkup routine in the last few years bc of insurance changes (currently with Delta dental PPO). He was very attentive and his assistants were all very professional and kind as well. Front office/reception is super friendly and makes sure to work with your schedule for future appointments. So far everything has been top notch! Excited for my nightguard 🙂

I have been seeing Dr. Arkham over the past years. I have nothing but good things to say about him and his staff.

Great customer service, professional, clean, and really there to help you and not make money out of you.

I highly recommend him!

1. The most painful X-rays I’ve ever had.
2. Dentist left in the middle of the appointment to take a 24 min phone call while I lay (uncomfortably)propped back in the chair.
3. Received a poor quality, rushed cleaning to make up for lost time.
4. GOT CHARGED $$ at the end for an “operation” that I WAS NOT TOLD would be an expense (and in all actuality was the dentist sanding a tooth for 15 seconds) Receptionist was indignant when I asked about the charge and responded condescendingly.
* In summary, I had to PAY EXTRA for painful, inferior service to staff that belittled me and had no respect for my time.

Definitely recommending all my friends here! Dr. Afkham is such a great and professional dentist, and is fun to talk to. He is also really thoughtful and knowledgeable giving lots of detailed advice. I got my three wisdom teeth removed here, and the surgery was fast and efficient. My wounds healed very well afterwards. The receptionist and assistant there were also very helpful and friendly. Loved this place!

I found Dr. Afkham’s office through Google, and I’m so happy that I did. I decided to look for a dentist in Davis because I was in so much pain and I felt like it couldn’t wait till I go home for the break. Dr. Afkham treated my decaying tooth right away. I’m now pain and sensitivity free! Dr. Afkham, the dental assistant, and the front desk were very professional and eager to help. I highly recommend going to Davis Smile Center. You’ll definitely walk out of the clinic with a better smile!

I've been going to this dentist for almost 5 years now and it's been a great experience every time. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Also routine cleanings are covered fully by UC Ship here.
