Our Real Patients' Stories
Our Patients Are Saying...
Lorena Segalle2024-04-23I took my 7 year old son to Aria Dental for his first cavity. He was extremely worried that it would hurt but Dr. Horiyat and Hassiba were so friendly and kind that he forgot about his fear. Everyone here truly is wonderful.Janice Record2024-04-17Best dentist I've ever seen. Dr. Horiyat is a miracle worker at saving teeth that other dentists won't, or can't even attempt to save. She will work around your schedule if you have to travel to get there too. Staff is also very sweet and gentle. So glad I found this wonderful dentist office.Kara R2024-04-14I am so grateful for Dr. Maryam Horiyat and her amazing staff at Aria Dental! I was searching for a holistic, biological dentist because I had an infected root canal (for 13 years!), and I wanted it safely removed. This was a HUGE step in my healing journey. I'm a few months post removal and already feeling so much better! Dr. Horiyat is so knowledgable and answered all of my questions with such patience. Connie is a fantastic hygienist and has cleaned my teeth twice with lazer and ozone treatments. Tamana is a great assistant, always making sure I am comfortable and have what I need. Steve and Shima tag team the front desk and both are so kind and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend Aria Dental!Noah Tudor2024-04-13Orest and Connie were excellent and so sweet :)Phil Robbins2024-04-10Always an incredible experience here at aria. Definitely not my favorite to go to the dentist and they always make it an incredible experience. Connie is the best hygienist this side of the Mississippi. Her attention to detail is absolutely incredible and today I got a laser deep root cleaning and feel like a freshly manicured golf course. I also received ozone. This is my second time getting my teeth, cleaned here with no cavities. Highly recommend aria and Connie. Uncle Phil, Dana PointNaomi Machimura2024-04-10Today I got a new hygienist at Aria Dental, and he did a fantastic job! I have super sensitive teeth but he could do the deepest cleaning with the least discomforts I’ve ever had. My husband and I will definitely come back for him. Thank you so much, Dr. Horyat to find him for us.Cat2024-04-07I had a good experience in Aria Dental. Shima is so friendly & help. Dr. Horiyat took time to listen to my concerns. She is very knowledgeable & helpful. I am glad that I found her.brandon2024-04-06The problem is not with the dentist rather than the assistants. Nothing got accomplished as they lead me to believe a simple fix would be 125 dollars. When they came back it was over 10000. It would have been nice if they informed me prior to appointment that insurance does not cover any or little of Holistic Dentistry. Now I got to go find another dentist again, which is annoying.I have high end insurance.Kris Lewis2024-04-06Nothing but excellence! After experiencing what I thought was a chipped or cracked tooth, I went to Aria Dental on the strong recommendation of friends The diagnosis was thorough and to my relief, it wasn’t a tooth after all. This guy here was overdue for a deep cleaning by a few decades! Today, I had my appointment and I was slightly hesitant and simultaneously relieved to finally be getting this done. Connie was my technician. I’m sure there is a more appropriate term. Nevertheless, Connie handled the procedure better than I could have imagined! Even the sedation was painless…how did she do that? Connie was very expert during the entire 2+ hours and even made me laugh more than a couple times. The bottom line is that I can’t say enough good things about the operation that Maryam runs and I will not be doing much more regular maintenance. I’m hoping they give me Connie every time. She was fantastic! Thank you Aria for taking such good care of me. I highly recommend this fine establishment!!Nate Abell2024-04-02Great experience, thanks for being so helpful!
