I feel very fortunate to have found Aria Dental. I fully trust Dr Horiyat and her staff. Dr Horiyat is such a wonderful human and doctor with an open mind to holistic and medical practices. She is passionate , innovative, and does a lot of research, keeps her eyes clear of tunnel vision. At just about every appointment I am greeted by the lovely Steve. He is very professional and super empathetic to my needs. Every hygienist I’ve had over the years meticulously cleans your teeth, in all the nooks and crannies. Which is a reflection of their Doctor and how she works. Thank you Aria staff, for all the wonderful years of excellent dental experiences, even when it’s more intense surgical procedures, it has been executed in the most gentle manner. Much Love JanicePosted on Google Elizabeth GuzmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finding Dr. Maryam Horiyat and the entire Aria Dental team has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my family's health. After a long search for a true biological dentist, I found exactly what I was looking for in Dr. Horiyat. Her training, professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to the patient's holistic health set her completely apart. She is no ordinary dentist; she is an exceptional professional who goes far beyond expectations. She always finds a way to make you feel special, heard, understood, and cared for. Her level of excellence and dedication is evident in every detail. Aria Dental and its wonderful team: Steve always greets you with a smile and a kind attitude. He answers all questions quickly, efficiently, and professionally, making the entire process much smoother and more pleasant. Carolina performs cleanings with great care and excellence. Furthermore, she takes X-rays so skillfully, discreetly, and comfortably that she transforms what is usually an uncomfortable experience into something completely different. Edgar has—without exaggeration—the hands of an angel. The gentleness, patience, and professionalism with which he works are impressive. He always takes the time to explain every procedure and answer questions in detail, instilling confidence and a sense of calm. His work seems almost unreal given the precision and care with which he treats every patient. Dr. Shebli is another outstanding professional on the team. His experience, professionalism, and patient care reflect the high standard of quality that defines this clinic. While it is true that prices may be higher than at a conventional dental clinic, it is equally true that the care received here is far above the norm. The quality, expertise, technology, time dedicated to the patient, and holistic approach make every investment completely worthwhile. Dr. Horiyat embodies everything I was looking for in a healthcare professional. It took me a long time to find someone with her qualifications, work philosophy, and level of excellence. Not only does she possess exceptional training, but she also demonstrates a genuine passion for helping her patients. Something I have always deeply appreciated is that, while providing top-tier care, she always finds a way to help and seek solutions for her patients. Today, I can say with complete confidence that Dr. Maryam Horiyat has become the professional entrusted with the oral health of my entire family, including my daughters. Entrusting the health of your loved ones to someone requires immense trust, and she has fully earned it. There is something that holds special value for me: my daughter deeply admires Dr. Horiyat. She admires her for her professionalism, her intelligence, the passion she brings to her work, and the genuine humanity she shows in every interaction. As a mother, it is wonderful to see a woman who is so accomplished, successful, strong, and committed to helping others become a role model and an inspiration for the next generation. She has not only earned our trust as a dentist but also our respect and admiration as a person. The impact she has on her patients goes far beyond dentistry. I am deeply grateful to have found a practice where you aren't treated like a number or just another patient, but as a person who truly matters. Thank you, Dr. Maryam Horiyat; thank you, Dr. Shebli; thank you, Steve, Carolina, and Edgar; and thank you to the entire extraordinary team at Aria Dental for your warmth, professionalism, dedication, and excellence. You have created something truly special: a place where science, health, ethics, and humanity work together. Five stars simply aren't enough to express how grateful I feel. I recommend Aria Dental with all my heart.Posted on Google Karen GrosecloseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You are in good hands with Dr Horiyat and her team!Posted on Google James KenneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had to have a lot done, they took good care of me.Posted on Google Elise MarvinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aria dental is everything I want in a practice. Extremely knowledgeable about holistic health care in general but specifically with the mouth and teeth. They have all the latest technology and they are just really human. They care, they explain things thoroughly and they’re easy. They do not nickel and dime you and because I was at another holistic dental practice initially… I promise that’s a thing you want to avoid. At Aria they are kind, and take the time to educate and are reasonably priced considering the amazing cutting edge holistic dental care you receive. They are a five star practice for sure!!!Posted on Google Stella RoseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely loved my visit here. I usually get severe anxiety going to the dentist and I felt so comfortable here. everybody was so kind and so knowledgeable. Big thank you to Steve and Shima for making the first appointment process so easy. this will be my regular dentist from this point onPosted on Google Lisa MylesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I travel quite a distance to come to this office and it's worth EVERY mile. My dental hygienist, Jonathan,(hope I spelled it right, lol), is a pro at what he does. I honestly feel so relaxed in his chair that I tend to drift off to sleep. Everyone there is so welcoming, respectful, and professional. It makes what use to be a stressful necessity for me, so much more relaxing. I can't recommend it enough. 😊 5/29/26 Just a follow-up to my previous post. I sincerely CAN NOT rave enough about this dental office as a whole. From the genuinely warm, friendly greeting that you get from Steven and Shima at the front desk, to comfortable and relaxed feeling that I personally got from Anna and Radian during my cleaning and follow-up procedure. Which I'm sure reflects the rest of the staff as well. Not to mention the glue that holds it all together, Dr. Maryam Horiyat. When I tell you this woman knows her craft.......she KNOWS HER CRAFT. She was patient and attentive to my needs when it came to my initial discomfort that made the procedure to correct a filling which was done at a different dental office, an extremely pleasant process. So much so that I almost drifted off to sleep. No exaggeration. From the state of the art equipment and execution, to the stellar professionalism, I absolutely understand why Aria Dental has clientele/patients that come from all over California and other states as well. Thank you again. 💜🫂💜☺️Posted on Google patricia hallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional in every way. From the moment you walk into the office, you are treated with kindness, respect, and professionalism. The entire team goes above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable and cared for. The dentist is highly knowledgeable, gentle, and meticulous. I have never experienced such a combination of expertise and compassion in a dental office. The quality of care is truly outstanding. If you are looking for a dental practice that genuinely cares about its patients and provides top-level care, this is the place to go.

Root Canal Alternative FAQ
What is the best alternative to a root canal?
The right alternative depends on the condition of your tooth. For early infections, conservative options like ozone therapy, pulp capping, and remineralization may save the natural tooth. When a tooth can’t be saved, a gentle extraction with a biocompatible ceramic implant is often the healthiest long-term solution. At your consultation, Dr. Horiyat will recommend the best path for your specific case.
Is a biological root canal alternative safe?
Yes. Every treatment at Aria Dental is performed by an accredited, holistically trained dentist using biocompatible materials and advanced technology. We prioritize gentle, minimally invasive techniques and personalized care to protect both your oral health and your overall wellness.
How does ozone therapy work as a root canal alternative?
Ozone has powerful natural disinfecting properties. In holistic dentistry, ozone therapy is used to reduce harmful bacteria in and around an infected tooth, helping to calm inflammation and support healing — often as part of a tooth-preserving treatment plan.
Can I save my natural tooth without a root canal?
In many early-to-moderate cases, yes. Conservative biological treatments aim to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible. The sooner you’re seen, the more options you typically have — which is why an early consultation matters.
What is a ceramic implant, and why is it metal-free?
A ceramic (zirconia) implant is a tooth-root replacement made without metal. Holistic patients often prefer it because zirconia is highly biocompatible, natural-looking, and free of metals — aligning with our metal-free, whole-body approach to dentistry.
Is the treatment painful?
We focus on comfort. Aria Dental offers gentle techniques and sedation options so your experience is as relaxed and pain-free as possible, from consultation through recovery.
