Always such a wonderful experience going to Aria Dental! The staff is so professional and kind. I absolutely love talking to Dr Horiyat. She is very knowledgeable. I learn something new every time. My favorite kind of doctor is a doctor who also knows holistic treatments and practices as well as conventional medicine. She also just has a beautiful warmth to her human spirit. I love getting my teeth cleaned. I feel so fresh and so clean. The hygienists are very gentle, I am so relaxed, I almost fall asleep every time, Thank you for cleaning my pearly whites! Francesca2025-06-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wouldn’t go anywhere else! I’ve been seeing Dr. Horiyat for 12 years now and couldn’t be happier. She and her staff are amazing at what they do. As a high anxiety patient, with incredibly sensitive teeth and a grinding problem, dental visits can be a little stressful for me. But between the incredible staff, advanced technology and the highest quality products, I receive excellent and stress free dental care. My teeth have never looked so good or felt so clean! I always leave feeling wonderful about the state of my teeth! Thanks Dr. H & team! John2025-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Dr. Horiyat 5-20-2025 for my extraction, bridge and or implant consultation plan. The doctor is highly professional; current in best dental practice’s and very carrying and respectful. My new dental goal is to correct the expensive work another dental team/office did and failed at resulting in a bacterial root canal infection; a 24/7 metallic mouth taste; dry mouth; loss of sleep; headaches; an inflamed lower implant plus an ill fitting upper full bridge with a poor bite. I left our consultation with the belief that Dr. Horiyat and her team are the right people to remedy my dental issues successfully. Christine Stonehouse2025-05-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love Aria Dental! Dr Horiyat is so knowledgeable and extremely friendly! Very easy to talk to. I always feel so comfortable when I go there. The staff is great and also very friendly. Overall this is the best dental care with top notch technologies and the best specialists on staff. Ditch the old and get the healthiest dental care. It has made such a difference for my overall health. TheTangster2025-05-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It is only my first visit and I am so afraid of dental work but I feel safe here. I look forward to a long lasting relationship and better health.
