Hello, I’m Dr. Navid Safaei, and I’d like to personally welcome you to SDDS Dental, where dentistry is more than just a service — it’s a commitment to your comfort and care. Growing up in Southern California, I earned my undergraduate degree at USC in just three years, graduating with honors. My dedication to the field kept me at USC for my Doctorate of Dental Surgery, where I graduated at the top of my class, excelling in Oral Surgery and Esthetics. The recognition I received from faculty, including the award sponsored by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, was a true honor.
Mentored by experts in Cosmetic and Oral Surgery, such as Dr. Magne, I practiced in various communities across Southern California, from Beverly Hills to Bakersfield, where I ultimately found my home at SDDS Dental.
I’m committed to ongoing education and professional growth, staying current with the latest advancements to personalize treatment plans that align with each patient’s needs. I have a particular passion for implant dentistry, drawing on my extensive training and experience to provide results that restore smiles, confidence, and overall quality of life. My dedication to this field means I stay informed about the latest techniques and advancements, ensuring that each treatment is effective and tailored to the individual.
While implants are a key focus of mine, my dental expertise spans a broad spectrum. From cosmetic enhancements like veneers, esthetic crowns, and smile rejuvenations to comprehensive general dentistry and orthodontics with Invisalign, I bring a well-rounded skill set to meet a wide range of dental needs. Each treatment is approached with the same attention to detail and personalized care, ensuring the best possible outcome for every patient.
At SDDS Dental, your experience matters. Each patient is important, and I strive to ensure you feel valued and cared for from your first visit. While I’ve had the privilege of working with the likes of athletes, actors and personalities, and other well-known celebrities, I believe the most important patient is the one in the room with me—you.
My passion for photography is reflected throughout the office, with my work displayed to create a welcoming and unique atmosphere. This artistic focus enhances my attention to detail, allowing me to approach every case with precision and care. It’s where artistry meets dentistry, and experience counts.
Outside of the office, I enjoy time with family and friends, appreciating outdoor activities and the occasional scenic drive.
I’d be delighted to welcome you to SDDS Dental and provide the care that helps you achieve your best smile. Come meet me and my team—we look forward to seeing you!

SDDS Dental
SDDS Dental is my vision brought to life — a practice where quality and patient comfort are at the forefront, where exceptional care meets a personalized approach. After working at various dental offices, I realized that true, uncompromised care required creating an environment that focuses on the patient. With this commitment in mind, I established SDDS Dental, blending advanced techniques and the latest technology to deliver the highest standard of care.
At SDDS Dental, you’ll find a welcoming, comfortable space designed to put you at ease while we take care of your dental needs. Unlike larger clinics and high-volume practices, we offer a boutique experience where you work directly with me, one-on-one. Here, there’s no rush or pressure—just relaxed, attentive care that keeps you in control. My specialized practice focuses on implant and cosmetic dentistry, while still offering comprehensive general dentistry to meet all of your oral health needs.
Our commitment is to providing comprehensive care that prioritizes your health, even when insurance coverage may be limited. We accept cash patients, and while we accept most PPO insurances and offer discount plans for those without coverage, it is essential to recognize that insurance providers often have constraints that may not align with the most effective treatment plans. In cases where insurance coverage falls short, additional fees may be necessary to ensure you receive the highest standard of care and achieve the best possible outcomes.
What Sets Us Apart?
At SDDS Dental, we are committed to providing care that is precise, personalized, and designed to stand the test of time. One of the ways we achieve this is by maintaining full control over the most critical aspect of your dental restorations—the design process.
Custom Designs Crafted In-House
Unlike many dental offices that rely entirely on external laboratories to design and produce restorations, I take a different approach. At SDDS Dental, every crown, bridge, and implant restoration is meticulously designed in-house by myself and my expert design team. This allows me to customize each restoration to fit your unique needs, ensuring superior comfort, function, and aesthetics.
Precision and Fit
The design of your restoration is directly influenced by how the tooth is prepared. By keeping the design process in-house, we can create restorations that are precisely tailored to match Dr. [Your Name]’s intent during tooth preparation. This meticulous approach ensures an exceptional fit, optimal function, and a natural look that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Collaboration for the Highest Quality
Once the design is complete, we partner with a trusted U.S.-based milling center to bring the design to life. We work closely with the milling center throughout the process to ensure that the highest quality standards are met. This collaboration allows us to maintain oversight and deliver restorations that align perfectly with our exact specifications.
A Superior Alternative to Outsourced Restorations
Many dental practices delegate the entire restoration process—including design—to external laboratories. These labs often rely on standardized methods or outsourcing to third parties (sometimes overseas), which can result in restorations that don’t fully align with the dentist’s original plan. At SDDS Dental, I retain control over the critical design stage, ensuring every restoration reflects our commitment to excellence.
By combining in-house design expertise with carefully selected milling partnerships based on the services rendered, I deliver restorations that exceed expectations in both quality and precision. When you choose SDDS Dental, you’re choosing a practice where every detail is handled with care and attention, ensuring the best possible results for your smile.
I look forward to meeting you at SDDS Dental and working together to create the smile you deserve.
Serving the Kern County community, SDDS Dental is proud to welcome patients from Bakersfield and surrounding areas, including Tulare, Taft, Porterville, Lamont, Delano, Arvin, Shafter, Tehachapi, McFarland, and beyond.
