About 10 months ago, I left my first review for Dr. Hussein Dhayni after completing my implant treatment. I was extremely happy with the entire experience and the quality of his work. Now, almost a year later, I had another experience that made me appreciate even more the kind of dentist I found.Recently, I noticed a slight movement in the restoration on my implant and contacted the office. They were able to get me in very quickly, and he even called me personally to offer an earlier appointment in case it was more convenient for me.He had actually warned me from the beginning that, with my lifestyle, something like this could eventually happen. I do heavy strength training and tend to clench my jaw extremely hard, especially during workouts. I also put a lot of daily chewing pressure on my teeth because I eat a lot, including meat and other firm foods. He explained that all of this constant mechanical stress could cause the restoration to loosen over time. He also recommended a night guard and gave me advice on reducing the pressure on my teeth and jaw. So when I eventually noticed some movement, I did not consider it a problem with the original work - it was a risk he had already explained to me.At the appointment, Dr. Dhayni carefully checked everything, removed the restoration, thoroughly cleaned the area, re-secured everything, and made sure it was stable again. Everything was taken care of under his warranty, completely free of charge.But the visit went beyond just taking care of the implant restoration. He also did a CBCT scan and found a deep crack in another tooth on the opposite side. This had nothing to do with the implant or its warranty, but he did the scan at no charge as well. He showed me what he found, explained that the tooth could eventually fracture further, and recommended that I consider a crown. He also gave me a treatment plan to review. There was absolutely no pressure to make a decision right away - he simply explained what he saw, the risks, his recommendation, and gave me the information I needed to decide for myself.That is something I have always appreciated about him. He is very straightforward. If he sees a problem, he tells you. If there is a risk, he explains it. If there are options, he explains those too. Nothing feels hidden and nothing feels pushed on you.It is one thing to be happy with a dentist when everything goes perfectly. I think you learn even more about a doctor when something needs attention months later. Almost a year after my original treatment, there were no excuses, no arguments, and no unexpected bill. He simply got me in quickly and took care of everything.I trusted him after my original treatment, and after this experience I trust him even more. He is an excellent dentist, extremely skilled at what he does, and most importantly to me, he genuinely stands behind his work and takes care of his patients.I’m very glad I found Dr. Dhayni and Balboa Dentistry. For me, they remain my first choice in San Diego, and I would recommend him without hesitation.Thank you, Dr. Dhayni, for your work, your honesty, and the way you take care of your patients. I truly appreciate it.
