LONNNNG REVIEW, LONNNNG OVERDUE. First of all, I have to say that I should have written this review probably more than a year ago. I blame ADHD. The truth is, I absolutely LOVE Dr. Yar. He and his staff are all so very kind, gentle, have delightful senses of humor, and they were very quick to make me feel so comfortable in their care. Every appointment, even the painful ones, have had me leaving quite contentedly and in a great mood. Most importantly, Dr. Yar has transformed my smile in a way that I had only dreamed of, for years, and never ever thought possible. I was an extreme case to begin with. My family has a genetic condition that had plagued me and left me a depressed, and extremely self conscious about my smile for my entire life. I would hide my teeth in social settings, and photos, trying hard to ONLY give that closed-mouth Mona Lisa smile while everyone else smiled widely and openly. I worried what people thought when I had accidentally smiled too big, and my teeth were shown. When I laughed, I used to cover my mouth, just in case. It was so bad, that I was often bullied about my teeth. People can be so cruel, sometimes, ya know? There were also plenty of times that I had cried from the pain that my breaking teeth had caused throughout the years. It got so bad at times, I would often tell my loved ones that I would choose to go through childbirth again, rather than experiencing this pain. Before I met with Dr. Yar, I had been to another dentist that pulled all of my upper teeth and gave me a top denture. I was desperate for the pain to be relieved, and I had hoped that in the end, I would be able to smile again. Alas, the appliance I ended up receiving was horribly designed! The teeth were tiny, misshapen, and didn't even let me eat properly. I was told this was the best they could do for me, and I tried so hard to be thankful, to be happy just to not have my natural upper teeth causing me the pain issues anymore... but the confidence I had hoped to gain, never came. I didn't think I would have the chance to fix what had been done. I solemnly accepted my fate for years. Until the time came that I needed my (still natural) lower teeth to also be pulled, and get a bottom denture. Of course I was not going to go back to the previous dentist that had not been able to deliver the standard I needed, which lead me to search for someone to help me achieve what I really wanted all along. Dr. Yar designed a plan for me that changed everything. Yes, he took away the pain, but what I didn't expect was how happy I would be in the end. He gave me an "all on four" implant supported lower denture, and a completely new upper denture. Admittedly, It cost a lot of money, but I knew that this was highly important to me. Guess what? No more pain. No more fear of showing my smile. I say this without any bit of exaggeration: My life has been changed. I get compliments now, for the first time ever, about how beautiful my smile is. I don't shy away from laughing without covering my mouth. I eat without worrying that I am going to suddenly be in excruciating pain, and I can look in the mirror without hating to see my smile now. Thank you, Dr. Yar. Thank you for everything you've done for me. Thank you to all of your staff as well. I am so grateful to have been able to trust you. If I could have seen you before I went to that first dentist, I would have! TLDR: If you feel down about your dental health, the appearance of your smile, or you have been experiencing trouble with pain, THIS is your guy. I highly recommend that you see Dr. Yar. He transformed me. Give him a chance! read more

I have been a patient for around 2 years and the staff is good. My issue is with the dentist. There is no real communication with him. He says hi and how am I, goes over my x-rays, then just leaves. He doesn't tell me if I had any cavities or any of his findings. He just leaving to the next patient and has the dental assistant explain what the findings were. I have never had a dentist that didn't explain to me after the exam. It make me feel like I am not worth his time. Another incident, I went in to go get a filling and he stuck the needle in to numb me and it missed my whole gum completely and the liquid just leaked inside my mouth. It tasted gross. He came back later and I told him is it supposed to feel numb because it doesn't. I told him it must have leaked all in my mouth. The dental assistant had to explain to him what I was trying to say for whatever reason. I guess he wasn't paying attention so he had to re-numb me and never once apologize. So I am finding a new dentist that likes to converse with their patients. read more

Had to get a filling redone by another dentist who informed me there was still decay. He did an alright job on my wisdom teeth, but Yar came across as rude and generally unprofessional while I was treated. I'd personally avoid this place. read more

Another 2 teeth rotten under crown. The crow was made less than 2 years. They suggest extraction. But still refuse to compensate or remake the crown. read more

See all

Great Staff, Best Dentist in town! They go above and beyond. Very budget friendly for Braces as well for clean ups!

I went here multiple times in 2018 and 2019 and everything seemed fine. I really found out what they were doing after I moved and had to go to a new dentist. My next dentist said whoever you were going to drilled many unnecessary holes. For the sake of your dental health, don't go here. read more

Have been coming here for years! They are so compassionate and understanding here. I am always pleased with how they treat me. As someone who was afraid of the dentist due to bad past experiences, I was able to get over that fear here. They make everything as painless as possible and work with peoples insurances and budgets. I really couldn't think of going anywhere else! read more

I have had a huge fear of going to the dentist because of so many bad experiences with different doctors. Dr. Sean Yar helped me overcome my fear. He is very caring and did amazing job. I trust him with my dental health. Elizabeth his assistant was also very kind and helpful, both of them made me comfortable and calm. read more

This past week I had a temporary crown put in until my permanent one comes in two weeks. I can say for the first time in my life I had no problems afterwards. I went back to work the following day and enjoyed my weekend eating steak and cold drinks without any problems or cold tingling bothering me. I give the highest recommendation to the doctor and staff for always doing a good and painless job on my teeth. I honestly look forward to going to my dentist. At times I would dread going to the dentist and now I don't with Ace Dental.. Plus they accept all different types of insurance which makes my life easier! The office ladies are always friendly to help and accommodate my crazy schedule. I like the fact they text reminders. Love them all! read more

Ace Dental Group - My smile after my temporary crown placed in this week. My permanent one comes in two weeks. No pain! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Riverside, California

Hands down most supportive and flexible dental group! As soon as I needed to get my teeth done, they were very flexible with my schedule with no wait times as soon as your appointment starts ! Dr. Yar and Elizabeth worked on my teeth for roughly 3 hours with no pain. Highly recommend this dentist and his whole team! he truly made me feel better about my smile and confidence and delivered exactly what I wanted with very minimal pain of replacing 6 teeth. Thank you Ace Dental Group! read more

started my dental journey here at Ace Dental in 2017. I just came for a consultation & decided to stay because their prices were reasonable for me as a college student. They always have different payment options. I have been coming here since and I can say that with many visits, I have never been disappointed. Elizabeth is very welcoming and sweet, any question that I have she will answer. Overall the staff is nice, they greet everyone and the place is always kept clean. They always send me reminders about my upcoming appointments which is very helpful. I'm glad I found them, they were within my budget, professional and maintain a clean environment. 10/10 I definitely recommend bringing your family here! read more

Highly recommend this dental office, Dr. Yar helped me on my loose tooth and expedited it to be repaired, Awesome service, been a patient for 11 years and good bedside manner and very helpful to your needs. Thank you so much Dr. Yar, take care always. read more

This dental office COMMITTED FRAUD by sending requests for approval of procedures WITHOUT my authorization! After visiting this office only one time, (the appointment ended with me walking out disgusted by the unsanitary conditions and Doctor Zah's horrible bedside manner), I was very surprised to later receive phone calls from them telling me I had been approved for 2 different procedures. I never asked them to do this and believed it was very clear that I had no intention of returning after that one time visit. However,It gets worse. My current dentist has sent in requests for procedures I am in dire need of but it's now clear why it's been over a month with no response-ACE dental blocked those approvals with their unauthorized actions! Because of them I now will have to start the wait all over while my current dentist resubmits it's requests. This dental office is running insurance SCAMS -stay away from it. . read more

I love this place!! It's convenient for us UCR students and I've been coming here since 2017. I've never had a problem here. The staff are super friendly, they pay a lot of attention to what you need and try to help you every way they can. I had several cavities and an implant done and it's still doing amazing. Dr.Yar is attentive and friendly. Usually coming to the dentist is super scary but everyone here is so nice and helpful that I'm no longer afraid of coming the dentist! read more

Very poor quality of work. Came in to get cleaning, cavity filled and a replacement retainer. Staff were very unprofessional and rough on my teeth. The doctor said I had 3-4 cavities that needed to be filled, HOWEVER I went to another dentist and he said there was NOTHING wrong with my teeth. What?? Is this even ethically okay to do? Ridiculous. Please don't try this practice, you'll have better luck elsewhere. read more

So my new dentist was able to help me and my husband out for way less than what this office wanted to charge. And bonus! The owner doesn't falsely call me a liar :) read more

Let me start by saying- I have a phobia of dentists. So, I really struggled in finding someplace where I felt comfortable in the space and with the staff. Plus, I have chronically bad teeth so when I went I needed several fillings done. Fast forward- now about a year since I started visiting this dentists' office. And now I recommend it to everyone. The staff is so kind and attentive. The assistant's are all very professional and every person I have had, whether they were just doing x-rays, a cleaning, a filling, or fitting me for a crown- has been absolutely amazing. They always know when/how to crack jokes that help put me at ease. My husband and I both go here for all of our dentistry needs, and we have had nothing but great things to say about them. Some highlights: - If there's a long wait because Dr. is finishing work on another patient, they will put on a movie for you while you wait. - Super friendly staff and dentists - Reminder txts for appointments and ability to re-schedule easily - Open later in the afternoon (after 3pm, which is key for me since I'm a teacher and don't get out of school until after 3) - Staff gives straight-up practical advice regarding pricing and affording dental work when you are on a budget read more

We initially came to get braces for my son and now the whole family is seen by Dr. Sean Yar. He does an amazing job explaining the work needed and is very dedicated to his patients. His staff is amazing. Elizabeth is so patient with me and trust me when I say I require patience. She is thorough and friendly each time we visit. read more

Dr Yar was super friendly, informative, and aware of my needs. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. I was taken in as a new patient and allowed to schedule within a week, compared to other places having me wait weeks or months to get an appointment. This dental office is one of the only offices I have found that stay open as late as 7pm. read more

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually excited to get work done at this office! Michelle, our X-ray tech was so friendly and sweet and made my husband and I both feel comfortable. The Dr was friendly and didn't make us feel bad about not visiting a dentist for as long as we had. Results came back that both my husband and I need significant work and the pricing they offered us is unbeatable! Like I said, I'm excited to come back for the work because I'm so pleased with the service we've received. This Dr didn't bulls*** us and try to tack on extra services or procedures for the sake of making more money. Great experience. Very pleased with the office. read more

Amazing!!! Dr Yar is seriously the best!!! He hit my nerve the first try, I was completely numb with one shot and didn't feel a thing. I have had terrible experiences at other dentists. Just awful. And I have serious anxiety when I go to the dentist. Not anymore!!! Finally a dentist that can hit a nerves and really numb my mouth. I didn't feel anything, and I still had anxiety-- just from my past experiences at other dentists. They were very nice/ kind. They even put a movie on for me while they were working on my mouth. I highly recommend him!!! read more

I come to Ace Dental whenever I need serious work. They have the best staff and the best hours. If you are in the Riverside area please come check them out read more

Ace Dental Group - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Riverside, California

It has been just over one year since I first visited Dr. Yar. Unfortunately, I was in need of some extensive work due to a long period of inattention on my part and some existing work that was substandard. Dr. Yar completed the work I needed and I am 110% satisfied with all the work that he did. His attention to detail is excellent, all procedures including an implant were painless. His staff is super nice and accommodating. Elizabeth even helped me wade through several insurance plans offered by my employer. With the information she provided, I was able to choose an insurance plan that works well for my situation. I have referred several friends and family members and they all have switched to Dr. Yar. . March 5,2019 - Back for a check-up with my son (14 y/o) he had a little work done and Jasmine cleaned and polished his teeth. She did an excellent job! Wonderful attention to detail and gave him som tips for cleaning around his braves. Another excellent experiemce! ! read more

I have been going to Dr. Sean Yar at Ace Dental Group located at 3355 Iowa Ave. in Riverside, California for nine years. Dr. Yar is extremely professional and personable. The entire staff is well trained and competent I feel I have had the best dental care possible from a dentist and his staff. The fees are reasonable. I am so glad he is our family dentist. I highly recommend Ace Dental Group in Riverside. read more

Great staff, they don't have you waiting for long periods of time. The doctor is very honest and concerned about patient well being. They do not use metal fillings, only white fillings. Which means you will not get heavy metal toxins in your body. I recommend Dr. Sean Yar for any one in the area who is looking for the best possible treatment. read more

Known for screwing up people's teeth during an ordinary cleaning. Then recommends a root canal.

This is my second visit and I had to get my silver cavities removed along with a deep cleaning. Dr. Yar and his staff were very helpful and explained the procedures to why things had to be done and how it benefits his clients (my teeth) for the long term. It's been maybe two years since I've gone to the dentist so this was very nice and thorough. read more

I've been coming here for multiple visits such as getting my wisdom tooth removed and having a lot of cavities filled. I've avoided the dentist for many years, but upon visiting this dental office I have had a terrific experience. The staff is very caring and patient. I was asked through out my fillings if I needed a break or if I was ok. The staff was also friendly and made me feel comfortable. I use to hate the dentist, but now I look forward towards my appointments and have made taking care of my teeth a priority thanks to Ace Dental. read more

Questionable hygiene practices. The assistant taking my x-rays touched the mouse and my mouth with the same gloves without swapping or putting a tissue over the mouse. The tools were laid out in open air instead of inside the package. Dentist rushed in without gloves and basically stuck a tool in my mouth and said I need deep cleansing for gingivitis before rushing to another patient. They estimated the cost $2,000 for deep cleansing and filling in 4 cavities. They were willing to cut it down to $1,200 since I'm a student, but it's still pricy. I went to a different dental group for second opinion and found that I have 4 fill-ins for previous cavities and no gingivitis... read more

Ace dental is great with scheduling and they take student insurance. The doctors do great work too, no complaints!

I just got my retainer here for the second time(first one got stepped on by my roommate ugh). I think the deal is amazing! The usual cost for a retainer is $300(per retainer) but with my UCR discount I got it for half off. Elizabeth took care of me very quick and easy and made sure everything fit okay and that I was happy before leaving. Will definitely come back :) read more

Ace Dental Group is the best! Dr. Yar is my dentist and he is amazing. he is professional and friendly. He makes going to the dentist painless. The office is modern and has state of the art equipment. In addition, the office staff is great and they make you feel very welcomed. I sometimes go to the other office of Dr. Yar in Anaheim hills as well. I would recommend Ace Dental Group to anyone! read more

As far as dentists go Dr. Yar made drilling and filling my teeth as painless as possible. He was very professional and honest when recommending the proper course of action I had to take to protect my teeth He very much caters to college students and I highly recommend coming here since it was simple to get quick and reliable care, it's also really close to campus read more

Today was my first time visiting this dentist office and I couldn't be more happier to find such a great dentist. Everyone there was just so nice and helpful, they right away told me everything that was wrong what I needed to take care of and also worked with my schedule. I needed a lot of work done on my teeth and they were super understanding of me being a student and helped with my bill which was really helpful. So glad I found this place on yelp! Thank you Elizabeth and as well as the other staff. Will be definitely sharing the word and bringing my husband read more

Welcoming staff, made me feel real comfortable. Very organized and well informed, didn't rush me and answered all my questions. They seem to enjoy their job! Worked around my schedule and did their best to accommodate for my financial situation. Dr. Yar is highly professional and finished my filling quickly and thoroughly. Exceedingly kind and objective. Will be coming back for future cleanings. read more

I started going to Dr. Sean Yar in 2013 when I went to college. Now that I have moved from the area I still go to him. Dr Yar always has cared about my ortho goals but also my career goals. I would like to share how great it is to have such a personable dentist who truly cares about his patients. The staff is always so friendly and professional. Shout out to Elizabeth for always being so friendly. Going to the dentists can be scary but I truly think this is the beat dental office out there. I wont ever go anywhere else. read more

I stayed away from the dentist for a long time due to a traumatic experience but Dr. Yar and his team and helped be overcome a great fear. They are all so love and considerate and excellent at what they do. I actually look forward to every appointment as I journey toward the smile I've always wanted. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this staff! read more

I had my braces done here and each time I come I am seen quickly and nicely. Been coming since 2018 I saw them for regular check up and cleaning. Everyone is so nice and professional I am always left happy with the work they do on my teeth. Never any pain and I love my smile now (: read more

Just left after not coming cuz of covid loved how they spend some time doing my cleaning and how friendly the staff is. Thank you.

I was in town from Davis and I needed immediate attention on my fractured molar. My partner and I decided to go hear. The wait time was really quick, the crew members were really helpful, welcoming and kind. Sean Yar, D.D.S was my dentist for the day. He was very patient, funny, and knows what he's doing. He explained easily what had happened to my tooth in an easy, digestible manner. He offered and explained to me steps I needed to take when going back to a dentist in Davis'. Highly recommend this place. read more
