I was referred to Dr. Kami Kohani over 15 years ago when I broke my front tooth and was devastated. However, Dr. Kohani is so skilled and such a perfectionist. He was able to fix my tooth without having to cap it. I was extremely happy with the results and after all these years he is still my trusted dentist!

He is an extremely dedicated dentist who is committed to his patients. Dr. Kohani is warm, caring and understanding. I have referred my family and friends to him, who also think he is an amazing dentist and passionate about his practice. You can feel confident with Dr. Kohani and know he will give you the best results possible.

It is refreshing to see a doctor treat his patients and staff with such respect. I feel lucky to have found a great dental office. A huge thank you to Dr. Kohani and his staff for everything they have done and continue to do for me and my family.

Dr. Kohani changed my smile by using his special veneering technique with minimal alteration of my own teeth. He is an absolute perfectionist and does unbelievable work. No one can tell I have veneers; they just notice my bright and shining smile.

I have gone to Dr. Kohani a few times now and have had nothing but great experiences. I was impressed with the friendly staff that is welcoming and organized. We all know these visits aren’t necessarily ones we look forward to, but Dr. Kohani makes this experience quite pleasant. He’s a very nice man and phenomenal dentist. I will definitely be returning!

I was new to La Jolla, out looking for a dentist and I actually walked into Dr. Kohani’s office by mistake. Well, it was one of the best mistakes I made. My teeth needed a ton of work and Dr. Kohani did a beautiful job. I needed fillings, root canals and veneers. Dr. Kohani was able to do it all. After I found out his extensive knowledge in dentistry, I felt fortunate to have him for me and my family’s dentist. Dr. Kohani is where professional dentist go to further their craft and he is a true artist. One thing I have learned is people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Well Dr. Kohani knows and cares more than any dentist I have been to. Dr. Kohani and his wonderful staff make a beautiful team.

I have been seeing Dr Kohani since 1997, since his son – who now practices in the office – was a baby. The friendly and competent staff never let me down. The dental care is above and beyond and the professionals continue to treat my teeth for everything from my cleanings to fillings to my night guard to Botox for my TMJ with tender loving care. I highly recommend them for all your orthodontic and dental needs!

I have the best experience with Dr Konani and his staff. I used to be scared to go to the dentist but they make me feel so comfortable and anxiety free and also offer great payment plans!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Kohani since 1998 and since then got married and had children, and they all go to see him. I was a typical horrible patient, meaning I didn’t floss and was looking at early gum disease. As a child I had a rotten tooth pulled out at another dental office, and my mouth was a wreck.

Not only does my family go but our friends and their kids go to him. He is NOT only a dentist, he is a true orthodontist, oral surgeon, humanitarian, and all around good guy. He has personally brought a disfigured at birth baby girl from Africa and her mother into his own home and arranged for a life-changing surgery for this child. He has a huge heart and a vast knowledge of his field. Also, he has a lecture once a week at UCLA because of his knowledge in dentistry and orthodontics. He is a true expert in his field.

He has saved us thousands with our oldest daughter in pre-planning her braces and has kept us informed every step of the way to her progress and why he takes the steps he does. Dr. Kohani and his staff have also turned around my oral health and have helped to teach my children how to do the same. He and his staff are amazing and my children aged 15, 12, and 3 look forward to seeing him and his staff because they care. We all look forward to seeing him every visit. I highly recommend Dr. Kohani to all my friends.

A few years ago, I had a molar that arguably needed a root canal. I say “arguably” because some decay had gotten into the dentin and potentially had compromised the roots. Instead of opting for a root canal, Dr. Kohani carefully cleaned the entire area, packed it with disinfectant, and sealed it. The procedure was painless. Even the initial numbing injection was painless. Several years later, I still have no problems with that tooth. Because Dr. Kohani is a professor of dentistry, he took the time to educate me about my options, what he was doing at the time, and the reasons why he was taking certain steps. He demystified the process and made me feel comfortable, both physically and mentally, about what he was doing at the time and what was coming. I recommend Dr. Kohani highly. It also helps that he has a very good sense of humor.

Definitely the BEST dentist I have ever had! A friend referred me to Dr. Kohani. In the past I have not had good experiences with other dentists. As soon as I met Dr. Kohani, I felt very comfortable. He is a very knowledgeable and caring doctor and his staff is amazing. I am currently doing Invisalign with Dr. Kohani. Every time I go to his office it is a very pleasant experience. Dr. Kohani and his staff are always so warm and welcoming. If you are looking for a good, caring, and honest dentist I recommend Dr. Kohani!

AMAZING. I cannot say enough about this office. I have been searching for a good dentist for years and I have finally found them. I only went in for a chipped tooth but wound up switching over to this office as my primary dentist. I initially saw Dr Cameron who went over everything in detail and was super conservative about treatment. In a world where most dentists just want to drill everything, Dr Cameron leaned the other way and it was appreciated. When I went in to fix the chip in my tooth and get a small filling I met Dr Kohani senior, who performed the procedure and he was also amazing. He immediately made me feel safe and once he began I saw why he was so confident. Dr Kohani is really good at what he does. It felt like I was only in the chair for 15 minutes, I thought he can’t possibly be done. Dr Kohani hands me a mirror and to my surprise not only was he done but it looked perfect the first time. Seriously can’t recommend this place enough.

Been a patient for over 3 decades and have nothing but positive experience every single time. Highly recommend. Dr. Kohani and his friendly staff have always been more than helpful dealing with various dental issues for both my family and I.

Dr. Kohani and his staff have kept my teeth clean and healthy for years now. Dr. Kohani is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about dentistry. Alexa, the dental hygienist, is very thorough and friendly. I am so happy to have a top notch dentist office to go to.

Highly recommend this place! Everyone is so friendly here and helpful. Dr. Kohani is one of the most knowledgeable dentists I’ve come across.

This office deserves 1,000 stars. Dr. Kohani and his staff are amazing. Everyone is very professional and knowledgeable. Most importantly, they are honest. Trusting someone with your teeth is so difficult, especially, if you’ve had negative experiences with other providers like I have. I was really amazed how comfortable and safe I felt in their hands. I am so thankful that I found this place. You can tell that they really care about their patients. I was able to get treatment for a personal and complex problem I was having with my teeth for years and I am VERY satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend La Jolla Cosmetic Dentistry and Orthodontics to anyone!

I never write reviews but I feel the need to tell the internet how AMAZING Dr. Kohani and his staff are. I first found the office when looking for a second opinion and I am so happy I did!! Dr. Kohani answered 100 of my questions, eased my concerns, and instantly built trust with his transparent communication. From teeth cleanings to Invisalign- I can not recommend this team enough for any and all treatments! You will no longer dread going to the dentist.

I’ve been with Dr. Kohani’s office for an estimated 12 years. I never had any positive experiences with dentists until Dr. Kohani and I have came back to him every time because of that comfort. My family has a history of teeth issues and Dr. Kohani’s staff has helped ensure my teeth from checkups to cleanings and I always have zero issues. They work well with my insurance and any work done is with no (or minimal) pain. Which is a really pleasant surprise. I hope he doesn’t retire for a while as I want to keep coming back when I need dental work completed.

Dr. Kohani and his team are the nicest dentists. I am one of those poor individuals that absolutely hates going to the dentist. I had bad experiences with them as a kid and yet I don’t mind going to Dr. Kohani’s office. They’re so good, take such good care of my teeth and make the whole experience as enjoyable as possible. I mentioned to Dr. Kohani that I was nervous about getting some cavities filled and he reassured me and actually saved one of my teeth from needing a full root canal. I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Dr. Kohani’s office!

Hands down, Dr. Kohani is the best dentist I ever had. He’s very caring, professional and knowledgeable in his field. I had one of my wisdom tooth removed last year and I was kind of nervous about the procedure because it was my first time taking it out. Dr. Kohani made me feel very comfortable before and after the procedure and he also called to check up after my teeth were pulled out to see how I was doing. His staff is very friendly & professional as well. Highly recommend him as a Dentist.

As someone who’s seen many medical doctors for severe TMJ, Dr. Kohani is truly changing my life. Before moving to San Diego I’ve tried pain killers, muscle relaxers, physical therapy, trigger point injections, massage, 3 different (expensive) oral appliances, and botox without being able to control my TMJ. He has been the only doctor to sit down and actually listen to how I feel and go through my entire treatment history to do a root cause analysis. For the first time in 13+ years I’m experiencing some relief from his recommendations for tongue tie release and an appropriate appliance. His practice utilizes next gen imaging (and empathy) to customize a treatment plan for every patient, I really can’t recommend Dr. Kohani enough!

E. Wilkinson

Dr. Kohani and his staff are always amazing. My family has been going to Dr. Kohani for years and this appointment was a long overdue one for me! Despite my elapsed time between visits, I wasn’t made to feel ashamed. From the initial check-in, then the x-rays to the cleaning and the exam by Dr. Kohani, the visit was great – not something that can be said about every dentist office. All 4 of my kids love the staff too, from my 20 year old down to my 6 year old! If you are looking for a dentist who is down to Earth, will tell it like it is, and treat you with kindness, this is the office for you!
