As always, I had The best experience getting my teeth worked on.

As part of my public health work with seniors, I find a lot of aging pathology that is avoidable, but they don't know how. In 2018, I attended a Neurology Conference that showed shocking evidence of the role poor oral hygiene played in cognitive decline. This relationship was not vague, it was substantial. Dr. Horiyat was, and is more than familiar with the research and need for intervention. It's been a few years, but worth every second and every dollar. You don't avoid the cost of poor oral health, it just shows up later when options are few. This is one amazing organization, and I couldn't be happier. //Thomas A. Coss, RN

Lack of price transparency, bait and switch sales tactics, overpriced in general.

After a bit of research I chose treatment at Aria Dental even though I live in another state. And I’m so glad I did. Dr. Maryam Horiyat treats the real problem, not just the symptom, and provides the much needed education to instill absolute confidence in her healthy holistic approach.
