EXCELLENT Based on 349 reviews Posted on Google Vina S.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As someone with significant dental anxiety resulting from a past traumatic experience, I am deeply grateful for the compassionate care during my tooth extraction. The office accommodated my need to receive acupuncture for anxiety during the procedure, which helped me make the experience more manageable. When I became overwhelmed, Dr. Orest immediately stopped, sat me upright, and gave me time to regain my composure; he also brought in my regular dentist Dr. Horiyat for additional reassurance. Dr. Orest worked quickly and precisely, completing the entire holistic extraction procedure within a half an hour, and his assistant was wonderful as well. I'm very grateful to have found a dental office that supports my individual needs with compassion while remaining calm, skilled, and professional.Posted on Google JohnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. July 29, 2026 Anna, my hygienist at Aria Dental, was professional and caring. Her cleaning technique is thorough, painless and my teeth feel so clean and fresh. I would recommend Anna, to anyone who wants a beautiful smile. March 12, 2026 This review; for my wife Joan; outlines her almost one year successful dental restoration; procedures; treatment; project at Aria Dental. The brilliant work was performed by Dr Maryam Horiyat, DDS and her dental staff. I wish to additionally thank the office staff for their concern, friendliness and helpfulness. If you peruse my initial review for my wife’s mouth; it was a functional and aesthetic mess. A traumatic accident years before to her mouth and an attempt to fix issues over several decades by less than competent dentist and oral surgeons had left her with a smile she was less than thrilled with and a mouth full of teeth that did not chew well. Dr Horiyat presented a dental plan to resolve all my previously mentioned issues and successfully set out to both restore my mouth with advanced dental restoration techniques and at the same create a wonderful feminine smile for my wife Joan. Amongst the work performed beautifully was repairing a cracked tooth; replaced 5 crowns; and replaced/fitted a new porcelain bridge. The work was performed to the highest dental standards without pain. My wife can chew food; her smile is pretty; the teeth color is attractive and all the dental work feels good. The metallic mouth taste is gone; dental headaches are gone and my smile is back. Thank you Dr Horiyat. — I first saw Dr. Maryam 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.Posted on Google Jeanine Starkey FisherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I needed to bring in my kids during the rescheduled appointment, all the staff were so patient, engaging, and interactive with the kids. They even gave them balloons and goodies during the appointment. I am new to Aria dental and this area, they have made this such a delightful experience. I am looking forward to their care and healing hands.Posted on Google Alex CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My much-loved and trusted biological dentist had recently retired and I hadn’t found a replacement. So… when the filling on my front tooth fell out, I needed help fast. I did some quick research and was lucky to find a wonderful holistic and biological dentist, Dr. Horiyat at Aria Dental, Mission Viejo, CA. Dr Horiyat did a complete exam and treated my tooth right away. Her friendly staff and dental team made me feel welcome and comfortable through the process. Aria offers state-of-the-Art treatments and comprehensive services. It is a bit more expensive, and some treatments are not covered by insurance, but the care you receive there is excellent.
