Most amazing dentist one can find. I have had such an amazing experience over the years. Their staff is awesome and so personable. Each employee is professional and friendly. I had a work accident where I broke my front teeth and I got in with Dr. Larijani and he went right to work and made magic happen for temporary teeth so I didn't have to suffer and experience a day without great looking teeth. Following that great treatment and experience, I have gone through the entire process of veneers. Stage make a temporary set of teeth, which many people complimented me on! Stage 2 prepare teeth for veneers, and they were so accommodating and thoughtful of me as the patient during this process. Stage 3 veneers, which they were always so eager to listen and make the necessary adjustments during this process. The veneers look so naturally awesome which is all I cared about. I didn't want them to look fake! They truly went above and beyond to make the teeth look perfect! Dr. Larijani I cannot thank you enough and all of the staff, you guys are so amazing!!! I will continue to come to this office as a forever client!! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR DENTAL WORK AND THOROUGH CLEANING Dr. C and Dr. L along with their highly skilled hygienists and sweet staff, really set the bar high. I come from Pasadena to get my teeth cleaned or treated and it's worth every mile! I always leave feeling cleaner, lighter, and just happier that my gums are happier. Shannon, the very talented hygienist I've been going to for the last 20+ years truly knows how to make me feel as comfortable as possible during a deep cleaning session. I've honestly tried to get my teeth cleaned in Pasadena but no other practice can deliver the way Dana Point Dental does. Thank you, Dana Point Dental for helping me maintain my health with healthy gums and teeth! read more

Close to 15 years ago now Dr Cifarelli changed my life. She gave me the most beautiful smile. I was so scared to go to the dentist. I had been traumatized over the years from the dentist we used in the past. She changed all of that. Thank you for all the wonderful memories I have made the new friends I've met just from giving a smile and showing those pretty white teeth. Thank you, Jennie Mitchell read more

UPSELL, UPSELL, UPSELL! I've lived in Dana Point for 17 years and decided to try Dr. Cifarelli after my trusted dentist of 20+ years retired--big mistake. The office is modern and clean, but the entire experience felt like a sales pitch. Even though she's in-network, I was charged out of pocket for a cleaning and was never told the "special antibacterial mouthwash" would cost $190 until after. When I asked for my X-rays, the receptionist questioned if I was getting a second opinion. They also pushed unnecessary out-of-pocket procedures and recommended cleanings every 3 months, even though my insurance clearly covers every 6. I do not trust that this office is looking out for patients' best interests. Patient care takes a back seat to upselling here--I will not be back. read more

I trust not only my dental care but also both my parents care to Dana Point Dental group. They have consistently provided exceptional care. The front desk is friendly, organized,knowledgeable , and has great follow through. The providers are highly skilled and always explain care every step of the way. Dental cleanings are top tier the best I have ever had, highly recommend. read more

Shame on them! Long, long time patient. Never trusted the care by the ever changing dentist (except one whose name wasn't on the marquee, years ago) only continued because we found the hygienist was good. So we "put up" with the "you need ....." BS Rarely did we consider their recommendations. Insurance! If they're not drilling they're not billing! My hubby likes to say. You make appointments 6 months in advance. They have canceled me day of TWICE in the past 18 months! WHY????? Schedule problems!!! REALLY????? What good is waiting 6 months to get cancelled and ABSOLUTELY NO ACCOMMODATION. Offered another option late January!! With a different hygienist. NO! Not why we even bother with this office. Don't waste your time ! read more

Our family has been going here for years and continue to be very happy! The staff is wonderful and very kind.

Superb care by all members of the team and both Dr C and Dr L are excellent professionals!

Top notch quality dentistry. Caring and compassionate staff. Clean office .Highly recommend

Dr. Cifarelli and the entire team at Dana Point Dental are absolute miracle workers! As my wedding day approached, I wanted nothing more than to have a flawless smile, and Dr. Cifarelli made that dream a reality. From the moment I walked into her office, I knew I was in good hands. Jennifer Wong, who is the office manager, was my main point of contact. From the moment I decided that I wanted to perfect my smile, Jennifer began planning every step and detail. She showed an unparalleled level of dedication, creativity, and professionalism and was so attentive to my needs. Since my wedding was less than 1 month away, Jennifer immediately reached out to her contacts to make sure I only worked with the best ceramist in the industry. Jennifer had a tight timeline to meet and she over delivered on her promise. Both Dr. Cifarelli and Jennifer have amazing taste and intuition when it comes to veneers, and their experience is worth its weight in gold! The entire Dana Point Dental team deserves high praise! From the amazing front desk, Kiley and Melissa are a dynamic duo. It is always a pleasure walking into the office and seeing their smiling faces welcome you in. Jeanie was the team Allstar! Jeanie paid meticulous attention to every detail during all of my procedures, ensuring that my veneers were not only beautiful but also making sure I was comfortable and happy during every step of the way. And of course, none of this would be possible without Dr. Cifarelli's amazing work and dedication to providing exceptional service. She listened attentively to my concerns and desires, and with her extensive experience, she was able to provide me with the smile of my dreams right before my big day! Thanks to Dr. Cifarelli and her amazing team, I walked down the aisle with confidence, knowing that my smile was the best it had ever been. I am forever grateful to Dana point dental for their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Cifarelli to anyone in search of a dentist who goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. Thank you for giving me the smile of my dreams! read more

Dr Larijani and his staff are exceptional! Thorough, attentive, professional, caring. I also think it's important to note that dr Larijani didn't commit to performing dental work if he believed I wouldn't benefit from it. Take a note, everyone - it is a rare find: he's putting client's interest first. He's very knowledgeable, and his bedside manner is excellent. The reception ladies Kiley , Melissa and Melanie and have gone above and beyond. Super patient, helpful and knowledgeable. I'm very grateful to have found this office and am looking forward to being a happy patient for many years to come. read more

I ask anyone looking for an excellent dentist to STOP and read this review. My mother is 88 years old and was in a Japanese prison camp during WWII for almost 3 years as a young child. After they were released, everyone received dental services at a military facility which resulted in PTSD. Recently, my mother heard that she needed two new crowns. This was very overwhelming for her, and she did not sleep prior to the initial and subsequent appointments. So many bad memories... Upon arrival, Dr. Larijani made sure she had food in her stomach and offered OTC pain reliever which she took and did not think of doing herself for which she was grateful for his courtesy. His continued caring and thoughtful bedside manner was clearly from someone that cares deeply about his patients. My mother stated on the phone, "Dr. Larijani is part psychiatrist and counselor. Nothing he did ever hurt me. I worried so much and lost sleep over nothing." He went one step further by calling my mom directly the next day to check on her himself. So impressive. I live in a different state, and it gives me so much peace of mind that my mother had such a good experience. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Dr. Larijani! read more

I recently had the ZOOM Whitening treatment and I'm very pleased with the results. The staff is very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Dana Point Dental ! read more

First time coming to this dentist and it was great. Exceptional service, good pricing, and chill atmosphere.

i love this place!! staff is so friendly and helpful and I've never enjoyed the dentist so much. Shannon and dr Elliot are the best.

Great place. Chanel is fantastic. I highly recommend this office. Dr Larijani is amazing.

What can I say about DP Dental that hasn't already been said? They are truly the best among any medical/dental/customer experience I've ever had. If the DMV was this nice I'd renew my auto registration in person! I have been coming here for probably 10 years now, maybe a little longer, and it's always a joy. They are extremely thorough, clean, professional and pleasant to interact with. They put up with my quirky sense of humor and I always leave looking forward to my next visit. I've had fillings replaced and broken teeth fixed as well as my usual cleaning visits. I also wear a nightguard now and it's been a big help in reducing my tooth sensitivity and wearing down of my teeth from nighttime grinding. I recommend this dentist to literally all of my friends and anyone who happens to be talking about dentistry in my presence! Seriously. Kristina and Dr. C are terrific, I hope you make the switch! read more

I LOVE Dana Point Dental, I can honestly not say enough great things about them. They have completely transformed my smile. I was really insecure about my teeth and I did a lot of research on where I wanted to get my veneers done because it was very important to me. Doctor C. surpassed my expectations of everything I ever wanted in my smile. The whole staff is amazing as well and I highly recommend them! read more

I saw my sister Erin L.'s review about our 88 yr. old mother's replacement of her 2 crowns. I would also like to add something to the wonderful review she gave. My mom just had her 88th birthday, which coincided with her receiving her permanent crown. When she came out of the office, into the waiting room, the whole dental staff was there, including Dr. Larijani & they all sang happy birthday to her & presented her with an orchid! My sister & I would like to thank you so much for your loving care of our mother! Your whole staff has gone beyond the norm for superb care! THANK YOU! You made her day & her year! read more

Dana Point Dental - The waiting area - General Dentistry Near Me - Dana Point, California

I've been going to Dana Point Dental for the past 2 years after moving down to Irvine for work. The whole experience has been amazing. On my first visit, Dr. Vashi gave me a thorough initial exam and gave me tips on where to focus when caring for my teeth. He also noticed that I had 2 wisdom teeth I had postponed removing for 20 years, mostly out of fear of the process and recovery. He showed me the damage it was causing and how hard it was to clean there so I agreed to have them removed. Just to note, another dentist cracked, shaved, yanked my wisdom teeth for 4 hours the last time I had an impacted wisdom tooth removed. This time, Dana Point's oral surgeon inspected my teeth and called my wisdom teeth some of the biggest on the rating scale. He said they would be a beast to remove so I mentally prepared for a long and painful procedure. However, in less than 20 minutes he finished and I was off to get instructions on how to recover. If 20 minutes counts as a beast, I can't imagine how efficient other procedures would be. It's a first rate experience at Dana Point and they're very focused on the customer experience, so I highly recommend them. read more

I love the Dana Point Dental team! Professional, consistent, and friendly! I plan to make Dana Point Dental my permanent dental office. Thanks! read more

I have been going to Dr. Cifarelly for about 8 years and she is amazing! she is so knowledgeable and her small feminine hands make it so easy to do dentistry. I had a difficult surgery on thursday and she did such a great job and I didn't even need pain medication after she cut the skin to get up under my bridge for a root canal. I love all the staff at Dana Point Dental group. My whole family goes there and we are all so happy with then. I highly recommend them if you want people who really care about making you comfortable during any procedure you might need. I also have Shannon the hygentist who is so sweet and does a great job. Best, Cher R. read more

Although the dentist was very nice, this is purely a business focused on making money. Everything has a surcharge on it, and work that is not needed is done. Beware, your insurance will not pay for it because it wasn't necessary. I have several pieces of evidence on that. Unless you have a ton of money, and purely want unnecessary work to be done, DO NOT GO THERE. They are not to be trusted. read more

I have been going to Dana Point Dental since I was in middle school. I have moved to all parts of Orange County since and as an adult Dana Point Dental still has my loyalty. I have been a patient of many Hygienists in my past here however my most recent visit with Kristina Salazar was spectacular. She was clear and informative and made me feel very comfortable with all aspect of my visit. Highly recommend to all, especially those who may not always feel comfortable at a dentist because here you will always be taken care of. read more

Just finished getting an implant. Was the easiest process ever! Dana Point Dental are all so professional and made the process so smooth. I would recommend them for all your dental needs!! read more

Being a person who has extreme concerns about dentist, not just any will do. I feel the entire office is just as important as the dentist. Here at Dana Point Dental, the marks are all good. Jennifer and the office staff great and they greet you with warm smiles and see to you promptly. They come to know you after a few visits and genuinely care when they ask how are things. I get my teeth cleaned by Shannon. Shannon has a great 'seat side' manner and knows I can get extremely uncomfortable. She is always engaging and making sure I am comfortable. This helps me relax so much, I sometimes fall asleep.. haha. She helps me understand the intricacies of my gum health and expresses to me the concerns and or actions I can take, to help my overall dental hygiene. Dr. Cifarelli is an amazing dentist. Always engaging, kind and considerate. She is fast in her work and thorough. She also has an astounding level of awareness and is always making sure I am calm, cool and collected. I have had some minor procedures done; cavities filled, crowns. She is good at assessing damage and making poignant decision based on those observations. Never had a root canal, saved most of the tooth (saving me from extra discomfort ). Please give this group a shot. Like I said, I'm pretty picky, and finally finding a group as awesome as these people, is like finding the actual tooth fairy. read more

The friendly and professional staff, the clean and warm atmosphere and of course great service are all reasons why I keep coming back to this office. Whatever need I have, the doctors are ready to take on the issue with a level of expertise I haven't found elsewhere. I keep coming back knowing that there will be no pain and that my teeth are going to look great! Update: went in for a cleaning and just as always impressed with the friendly and helpful front office staff as well as my great hygienist, Shannon. She always makes the process a breeze and something I look forward to. I'm in need of two implants and there's no question as to which dental office I will be going to. Front office staff Jennifer already prepped me with some useful information so I can get a head start on planning! read more

Told me I needed a root canal so I went to two more dentists and they said that was just not true. They did that to my dad, too. Get a second opinion! read more

Warning *** I am from Utah and got spoiled by a great dentist*** I just need to start by saying the front office staff are WONDERFUL. Crazy nice and professional. The stars are for them. They get 4 stars. I would use this office for cosmetic dentistry only! It is what they care about so it is what they focus on. They want you to get the upgrades! They do not listen to or focus on what is important. I had serious deja vu it was like being with my dad at Bargain Ben's Car Barn in 1980. Why I am leaving this review: 1- have had 2 "deep cleans". I'm 40 years old. I have had 80+ cleaning in my life that were all this good or better. Is a cleaning "deep" because you say so? Our conversation was even shallow. Is it because I will be digging deep into my wallet? 2- Broken promises. So busy trying to get me to spend my money they didn't pay attention to the lies they were telling. Dr. C isn't magic...? What? They promised me something EVERY other dentist over the past 20 years has told me is impossible and then got defensive and blamed me when it didn't work! Crazy! Turns out.. a fake yellow tooth from 1980 will always be yellow. No matter how much zoom and filler and fairy dust you throw at it. And, if you make the client feel like they are stupid for believing you, maybe they will break down and just replace all their teeth with veneers on their way to getting a boob job. WELCOME TO ORANGE COUNTY! read more

Went to my new dentist today (Sea Country Dental) and I didn't think I was crazy... Instead of 16 cavities between me and my son, turns out we each only had 4 and the cost to fill the cavities, perio maintenance as well as replace one of my crowns is $1033 total. My son didn't need a deep cleaning either. That is a savings of $1817.00 just by walking in the door to the new dentist. The kicker... they had 2 different families in their office last week in for a second opinion and as it turns out they were being over charged for work that wasn't necessary and the dental office they received the first treatment plan from was....yep, Dana Point Dental Group. Be warned... do not use this dentist office unless you have deep pockets or a money tree in your backyard... oh and are ok with them drilling on teeth that do not really require dental work! read more

Going to the dentist is not easy for a lot of people. I never really had too many anxieties about going to the dentist, however I have experienced bad bedside manner, potential misdiagnosis, and opportunistic taking advantage of my health in order to pay a higher rate. None of these things are found at Dana Point Dental. I positively love my hygienist! I see her every 6-months and its like a really cool progress snapshot with her and I. Despite seeing each other only twice a year, she remembers my stories and things that are important to me. We even discuss holistic alternatives and the science behind teeth and oral health. My dentist is also a hoot! Real talk and reliability are themes that I experience every time I see her once a year. I always come out well-informed and confident about my dental health and my smile is always wider coming out. Couldn't suggest them more. read more
