He approaches each case with scientific precision while never losing sight of the human element—building trust, explaining options clearly, and ensuring every patient feels heard and cared for.
Since opening our doors in 1999, Dentistry 2000 has served thousands of patients throughout Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos, and beyond. We've built lasting relationships with families who trust us for their complete dental care—from children's first checkups to complex restorative work and everything in between.
Dr. Assadian and his wife have raised three children in San Diego, making this community truly home. Our deep local roots mean we're not just your dentist—we're your neighbors, invested in the health and well-being of North County families.
At Dentistry 2000, we believe exceptional dentistry starts with exceptional listening. Dr. Assadian takes time during every appointment to understand your concerns, answer questions, and ensure you're comfortable with your treatment plan. We never pressure patients into unnecessary procedures. Instead, we educate you about your options and respect your choices.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology & Immunology from the University of Rochester, followed by my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. After graduating, I moved to Southern California to complete my general practice residency at the Sepulveda Veteran Affairs Medical Center, where I had the privilege of caring for our nation’s veterans.
I believe every patient deserves to be treated like family. My goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming environment where patients of all ages feel heard and understood. I take the time to explain treatment options clearly and work together with each patient to create a personalized plan that supports their long-term oral health and overall well-being.
