While you won’t have to wait long for your appointment, feel free to kick back in our serene guest lounge, filled with fresh orchids, upbeat playlists, and the coziest contemporary seating. 

When it’s time to treat your smile, we work to ensure you feel fearless in the dentist chair. That’s why every private treatment room in our office features NuCalm.

Elevating Your Experience

Our Technology

Patient-empowering dentistry is our specialty. We’ve equipped our office with the best that modern dentistry has to offer to give you the most engaging, efficient, and educational appointments possible. 

Our operatories are fitted with state-of-the-art imaging technology, including the iTero digital scanner, Dexis digital x-rays, and Dexis intraoral cameras, so you and Dr. Leila can get a detailed picture of your oral health and create a customized treatment plan with unequaled accuracy. 

When you’re at Smiles By Dr. Leila, you’ll never have to worry about uncomfortable, invasive procedures. We use soft tissue and antimicrobial laser therapy to treat your mouth and gums with the highest levels of precise, pain-free care.

As advocates for your whole-body health, oral cancer screening is essential to your preventive care at our office. We’re proud to utilize the latest innovation in light-based fluorescence technology: ViziLite PRO. This world-class screening system has the potential to save lives by spotting any abnormal tissue in the mouth before it can be seen by the naked eye.

Uplifting Poway’s Little Patients

Giving Back with Give Kids a Smile

Day in and day out, our care revolves around enriching our community with healthier, happier families. We strive to make a positive, meaningful difference in the lives of our patients–both inside and outside of our practice walls. To that end, it’s our honor to partner with Give Kids a Smile, a nonprofit organization that’s dedicated to helping underserved children fight back cavities with free dental education, screenings, and preventive and restorative treatment. Together, we’re nurturing the next generation of San Diego’s smiles.
