    Billing was horrible. Overcharged me on a pre-agreed price and made unauthorized charges to my credit card.

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!!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR DENTAL WORK AND THOROUGH CLEANING…read more 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!

The office is clean & well kept. Dr Meghan was very nice & friendly. She tried to help my tooth problem & said to comeback anytime for a complimentary recheck. This is where things changed. I called & asked for a recheck 3 months later of my tooth. Melissa at front office was very nice, said she saw the notes & to come at 4.40. She then proceeded to call back four times saying the DR said at this point I should see a pain specialist & she didn't want to see me & if I did come in I would be charged. she also stated that since I didn't buy my mouthguard from their office, they couldn't touch it. I said no thank You & I was extremely disappointed. It was not a rude or mean-spirited call. End of story right? Nope Dr Meghan called back personally & told me I had roughed up her office staff & that as a local business owner I should understand that they can't do a re-check for free, but she would try to give me Grace & see me. But if it was a different issue I would be charged. JUST ANOTHER DENTIST OFFICE MORE INTERESTED IN $$ THAN HELPING PATIENTS. My issue is she offered a recheck then when I tried to come back saying we have to charge you. Ultimately, she did apologize & offer me to comeback & said she wouldn't charge, but I wouldn't feel comfortable going in after 5 conversations & her saying that she never knew any of this & that her staff didn't communicate it to her which is even more troubling. The tooth pain continues.

The previous dentist took xrays. Everything was fine. Both family members went to this dentist for a routine cleaning ONLY. Both were told at the time of the cleaning they need a filling. Conveniently, the Dr did the filling right away at the time of cleaning. We asked our old dentist to take a look at the xrays and he confirmed the filling were not necessary! He also told us the fact that the Dr performed the filling immediately during cleaning should have been the clue that this is their game to generate revenue.

The insurance company investigated the work with their dental panel and found malpractice done on placement of the crowns. It has been 8 months, and the dental office still hasn't refunded money for the bad dental work. I went in for a schedule appointment for checkup and cleaning. The dental team pushed for crowns to be put in from worn out fillings without doing the scheduled cleaning. After talking me into the crowns, the dentist gave me a temporary crown that were extra thin and lead to holes in the temporary that lead to bacterial infection. The receptionist was not very friendly and laughed about the malpractice after being provided the assessment from the insurance company. Not recommended unless you want a corporate chain and want complications with you your teeth on a training dental crew. Single dentist firms not part of a corporation are a better path.

I can't recommend him and his staff enough. He's highly qualified and really likes his patients. So rare!!!!
