Mr. Ali Heidari

Across the hill from Rio del Mar, Mr. Ali Heidari keeps the other side of Soquel Drive humming with dental care. The office sits above the retail bustle, a place where routine cleanings and more involved treatments share the same parking lot. Nine-oh-five-ninety Soquel Drive #A is the straightforward address but half the challenge—finding a dental office here means trusting the name you see on the sign.

Cleanings, fillings, crowns, and root canals are on the schedule most days. Missing teeth can be addressed with implants or bridges without stepping far from the front door. Evening appointments are available some weeks, but confirming hours ahead is the safe play. Whatever you’re there to tackle, the clinic keeps equipment centralized, which keeps wait times lower than you might expect.

Patients tend to praise the quick turnaround between front desk and chair. Emergencies? Walk-ins are welcome when the schedule allows. Translation help is reportedly available, a quiet advantage for some households in Aptos.

If you’re eyeing the building from Highway 1 take Exit 425 east to Soquel, park near the corner of Soquel and Trout Gulch, then head upstairs. Once inside, the same building makes the map easy: directions link. Call (831) 688-6531 before you go.
