I was looking for a dentist that could remove my mercury filling safely, and was happy to find that they use the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), which they did superbly well. I had my blood mercury levels measured before and after the procedure through my primary care doctor, and I was happy to see that my mercury levels dropped after the dentist removed my filling. I was very impressed with how they took all the necessary precautionary measures to reduce mercury exposure. Dr. Saffarpour and her staff (including front desk) were all super helpful and friendly. The doc was great about explaining everything clearly, and I loved how clean, gentle, and conscientious everyone was about all aspects of the care they provide. Very happy I found them. read more

I feel confident in her caring and comfortable approach and her staff is friendly and efficient. I highly recommend New Earth Dental! read more

Dr. Saffarpour and her team is world-class! I have had several safe amalgam removal and advanced procedures done here over the course of the last few months. Each time I went in I knew I was in good hands and felt confident that I would be getting the most professional care. I feel comfortable and safe going for my appointments as the clinic takes covid precautions seriously. Dr. Saffarpour is expert at removing amalgams safely. On top of being IAOMT-affiliated, she is a biomimetic dentist who is knowledgeable in using the least invasive method to preserve as much of the tooth structure as possible during treatment. She also has great bedside manner and is ever so patient and friendly in explaining pros and cons of treatments and alternative approaches to me, which I really appreciate. I have never been a huge fan of getting dental work done but Dr. Saffarpour and her assistants, Alan and Sanaz, have always made me feel at ease. Making appointment here is also a breeze. Brenda is the most affable treatment coordinator you can ever get. She has a super positive attitude and is ever so helpful in ensuring patients are well taken care of. read more

I really like my experience with Dr. saffarpour she's honestly a great dentist and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and their oral care. She explains everything in detail and is very gentle. I was really nervous for my fillings due to me having a bad experience with a different dentist which traumatized me & Dr saffarpour made me feel very comfortable and I had no pain or sensitivity after my fillings. I definitely recommend her! read more

Dr. Saffapour and staff always have the patients needs and comfort as a priority. I have been her patient for many years and have referred others to her. As an older person, I often have issues with my teeth that requires an expert, which Dr. Saffapour is. She never overbooks (unless it is an emergency) so she takes her time-never rushes. I really like her Administor Jessica, who always give me up front pricing (no surprises). Her Dental Assistant Karla has been there for years and is very competent in her job. Dental hygenists Evelyn and Homera are the best I have ever experienced for all your cleaning needs. If you have any issue or dental emergency, Dr. Saffapour is available, as I found out one weekend. She is an expert in crowns, fixing cracked/chipped teeth and almost any type of dental repair. If you are looking for a great, competent dentist-look no further. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Saffapour. read more

I used to go to Dr. Halliday (husband and wife) but once they retired, I was so sad because they were amazing, loyal and trusted. I will say the new Dr. Mamak and her hygienist are wonderful and attentive. However, the front desk girl is so rude and cold (except for Bambi, love her). Please get rid of that other receptionist and hire someone else!!! She truly ruins the office culture. read more

My first exam here was great , scheduling was very easy and the office is very clean and cozy. I had x-rays done and a cleaning and each staff member made sure I was comfortable the entire time through each process. The hygienist was very nice and personable and talked to me the whole time which made it easier not to concentrate on pain & made the time go by faster. I appreciated this as every other dentist I've been too never really talk to you they just do the work and that's it. My mouth felt a million times better after the cleaning and I appreciated the time and patience the hygienist took on me. Dr. Saffarpour seems to be very knowledgeable in her practice. She gave me tips and facts about the care of my teeth throughout the whole appointment. She made sure she knew exactly what was going on in my mouth and explained the nexts steps thoroughly. I'm more than happy with my experience and plan to go back & make Dr. Saffarpour my dentist:) read more

I will preface this with the fact that I haven't been to the dentist in over 3 years. I reached out to Dr. Saffarpour for a consultation on sleep apnea. She is very smart, attentive, and is keenly aware of how the jaws, tongue, teeth, and the body as a whole develop and function as one system. She quickly validated all the things I was worried about: my tongue tie, bruxism (teeth grinding), snoring, and drowsiness. I will soon begin the journey of improving my case of obstructive sleep apnea with the Vivos system. I also got a couple fillings done here. Dr. Saffarpour offers laser dentistry. I enjoyed the laser a lot more because there are no shots required. There is a mild cold sensation that I felt towards the end of the treatment but it sure outweighs the shot and drill. If you are afraid of getting shots, definitely opt for the laser! The office is also clean and inviting. The staff are very friendly as well! read more

Dr. Mamak and the staff were wonderful. I took my son for tooth extraction, she was so gentle and had fantastic bed side manners. The whole process was so seamless and stress free , given my son was anxious about going to a dentist. I'm happy , I found her through my insurance network. I'd strongly recommend her to anyone. read more

Dr. Saffarpour has the gifted hands. She is a genuine, compassionate, and caring doctor. She has been my dentist for nearly a decade now. I cannot express my gratitude enough for her extraordinary skills and exceptional care. The office manager, Brenda is very knowledgeable and friendly. She is always ready and willing to help. The dental office has always acted in the best interest of their patients, putting the patients' needs above their own. Don't take my words for it, you be the judge yourself. read more

Perhaps this office is no longer working. No one answers the phone, you get a recording that says they'll call you back (but they don't). I've been trying all week at various times of day. So I'm assuming they've gone out of business. Doesn't matter how good the dentist is if you can't get ahold of the office to get an appt. or ask a question. read more

I travel over an hour and 45 minutes to see Dr. Mamak. I am a dentist and have to say she is by far one of the best dentists out there. She pours her heart and soul in to her work and truly cares. She takes her time and is extremely thorough. She always goes the extra mile. A treasure hiding in a small clean and cozy office. Highly recommended. read more

I came to New Earth for a check up after years of putting off my dental hygene due to the pandemic. Thier office is extremely nice and fancy, i felt comfortable in the waiting room. Dental assistant was nice, taking my blood pressure and putting on a massage chair while the dentist checked out my teeth. All in all great experience with staff and environment, but there were a few things that irked me: 1) thier schedule is so backed up it takes almost a month to see them again. 2) they are really expensive. 3) they tack on unecessary things like a 3D xray even though they did regular xrays. 4) the previous office person wasnt very responsive when i asked for documents, i had to ask three times and let the doctor know before a more responsive person took over, they were very responsive when I asked for xrays however. I don't think ill be coming back here, nice place & people are nice but the wait time and prices are a turn off. read more

Dr. Mamak is a very good Dentist, and I recommend her highly for being very thorough and passionate about her work. She took the proper precautions to evaluate my dental situation on my first visit, and took her time explaining what exactly was going on in my mouth. Her careful attention to detail goes a long way, and her holistic approach is a big plus. Do not hesitate to give her a visit. She is worth it! read more

I really want to give her 5 stars but do not want this review filtered out. Thank you Dr Saffarpour! We do not have insurance and where searching high and low for an affordable AND excellent dentist. We are grateful to have found you through a dental discount plan. She does excellent work, has a clean office and they do not keep you waiting. My husband is very pleased with this dentist and we are saving a bundle that we do not have! read more

This review is pertaining to trying to get an estimate of a procedure (deep cleaning) in hopes of booking an appointment. Very rude receptionist. Refused to give an estimate or explain how the pricing works, even with good insurance. It is not helpful or transparent to people on a budget that need to get a few procedures done. Called a few other places that were able to give an estimate right away and thus easily/comfortably made an appointment. read more

***update: I just got some of my silver fillings removed! Dr Saffarpour and her assistant both came in with their smocks, a gas mask, plastic glasses, with a plastic facial mask on top of that. I had oxygen tubes in my nose and there was another machine off to the side of me to suction the invisible vapors of the mercury as my fillings were being removed. They also opened the window to provide more air circulation in the room. It was very different. But if you think about it, if it takes all that to get your silver fillings removed, makes you think about how all the other dentists out there DON'T do any of that stuff at all! Makes you re-think just how safe things are being done. I can tell that Dr Saffarpour also takes her time to do honest work. She doesn't just look over my teeth quickly and tells me I have cavities just to get paid by the insurance company. She genuinely cares about her patients and the type of service she provides. read more

Dr. Saffarpour and staff were so thoughtful, kind and professional. I had a safe amalgam removal, with quite a bit of decay under the old fillings, and they did an amazing job. I have to come back for more work and I have total confidence in them! read more

Dr. Saffarpour and her staff are wonderful! They are all very friendly and inviting. Dr. Saffarpour has a calm and gentle personality and this transfers into how she works on your teeth and gums as well. She is knowledgeable, but more importantly knows how to communicate what she knows in a way that I can understand. She is also very attentive to me and straightforward in her answers. She asks questions on my eating and cleaning habits and will make suggestions based on my lifestyle and tools that I already use, not give some generic dental recommendations. The office is very clean. She has toys and a tv for movies in her waiting room, which is great for when I have to take my kids with me. She also has TVs in the procedure rooms so if you need to be distracted during a procedure they have a selection of shows and movies you can watch. But the most calming thing for me is the light covers that she has. So simple, but the sky blue and clouds on her light covers are very relaxing to me when I'm laying down and looking up at this for the time that I'm in the chair. Dr. Saffarpour has been my dentist for many years now and will continue to be for a long time! read more

Dr. Saffarpour is one of the best dentists I have ever have! She is courteous, caring and has a great bedside manner. She remembers everything you talked about 6 months later when you are at your appointment . Also, when working on you, she constantly asks if you are alright and if you need a break. She helps you with a deep discount when you don't have insurance and only wants the best for you. Do go to her if you need a dentist because you won't be sorry! read more

I have always had very good experiences in her office. Everything is extremely clean when i come in and comforting when i go in to get fillings. She explains all the different benefits to everything she does and is very thurough. Shes a wonderful person and loves to talk to her patients. She is very down to earth and professional. I reccomend her to anyone. read more

I initially wanted to wait to update this review until my next visit, but it would be too long to commend Dr. Saffapour and her staff for their efforts to reach out to me. They went out of their way to consider my concerns and worked things out. They seemed to put a great deal of care and effort and I'm very much appreciative. Thank you. read more

The dentist is great. The hygeniest is great. The receptionist's ego and attitude is a turn off, but if you can deal with her, the dental care is excellent. 5 stars for the practice. 1 star for the front office. read more

I continue to be impressed with Dr. Saffarpour's professionalism, sincerity, & genuine caring. A great dentist!

Dr Saffarpour is a super nice, trustworthy, and all around fantastic dentist. I've had all of my dental work done here since 2000 and have referred family and friends to her office. The staff is nice and professional. There is definitely a family atmosphere and warmth at the office. I love this dentist and you will too!!! read more

Dr. Saffarpour and her staff are excellent and I highly recommend her. If you are looking for a dentist who's gentle, knowledgeable and trustworthy...you don't need to look any longer. read more

Provided me with an Invisalign treatment from 2013 to 2015. Very poor experience with this dentist and her Invisalign service. She created multiple unnecessary spaces (between my teeth) that are unhealthy (food gets stuck between teeth) and visually undesirable. The spaces she created are inappropriate and irreparable. In addition, she significantly underestimated the time (2+ years instead of 1) and cost required. I had to continue the Invisalign treatment with an orthodontist and some of the spaces Dr. Saffarpour created unfortunately haven't disappeared. Overall, the goal of this treatment (set with her in 2013) hasn't been achieved by her and the damage is significant and irreparable (spaces between the teeth; wasted time). This service is unacceptable and unprofessional. Hence I consider it unfair to have paid for such treatment. If you need Invisalign treatment, make sure you opt for a dentist whose name and details are available at Invisalign.com. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Saffarpour and her staff. Everyone is nice and sincere. Unlike another dentist which I had a bad experience before, Dr. Saffarpour treat patient with respect and no distance. I had a feeling that she is treating me like her families. She explain things in detail, even played a video to me in order to better understand the situation. What's more amazing, the price here is very reasonable. I told her staff that I do not have dental insurance, and she recommended me a dental discount plan. As a result, it saved me about 50% on tooth extraction. There is no any hidden fee that they will charge you after the treatment (unlike the clinic I had bad experience before). I am really amazed at their work and attitude. This is why I would highly recommend everyone in the neighborhood to go to this place. read more

Dr. Saffarpour is, by far, the best dentist I've ever had. This is actually saying quite a lot given my age and history of moving frequently (often twice within one year). Anyway, I got her name off of an internet list of Mercury Free Dentists, as my main ambition was to have my mercury amalgam fillings removed safely and replaced by the safest filling alternative. She was the only dentist I called in the area that offered me a free consultation and her front office staffer was really, genuinely nice. So I made the appointment and Dr. Saffarpour was great at listening to my concerns, examining my teeth, and explaining what measures she takes to ensure everyone's health during amalgam removals (dental dam, oxygen, etc.). She also gave me a book on the topic by Tom McGuire, D.D.S. for free and was able to give me a very precise quote on the cost of the procedure. After my free consultation, I told Dr. Saffarpour I wanted to proceed with the removals and she had her staff calculate the exact price (to the penny) of how much it would cost me. In fact, they made a special call to me to check to see that I was okay with the price because they knew I had no dental insurance and a limited income. When I reviewed the new patient paper work they sent me home with, I was happy to see how interested she was in making sure that I had a good experience in her office. There were several questions such as "What if any problems have you had with prior dental experiences?" When I came in to her office for the removals, I was a bit harried and hadn't finished all of the paperwork. Her staff were kind and un-phased, telling me to take my time as they did prep work and got me settled in the chair. When my medication alarm went off just before the procedure, Dr. Saffarpour's dental assistant offered me a cup of water before I could think to ask for it. They also made sure I could use the restroom before the procedure, and never rushed me. Dr. Saffarpour used all the safety precautions she had described in the consultation. Because Dr. Saffarpour was interested in making this a good experience for me, her questions reminded me to tell her that I had had a bad experience where a dentist had continued to drill after I'd told him I hadn't had enough Novocaine and was in pain. To ensure that would not occur, she told me to raise my left hand if at anytime I wanted her to stop. Although she had numbed me very well prior to placing the dental dam, one of my teeth was more sensitive than the other and she indeed stopped when I raised my left hand. Then she asked me whether I wanted more anesthesia right away or would I prefer to wait-- she said she had about 90 more seconds of drilling left. There was no pressure to wait, but I chose to do so as the oxygen, dental dam, eye protectors, etc. were all already in place and the pain was relatively minor. I counted the seconds in my head and the drilling only took about 70 seconds. Then she gave me more anesthesia on that side. I never felt any other discomfort and throughout I could hear and comprehend her gentle instructions with regard to my head, mouth and tongue placement. She alerted me when the mercury had been completely removed and she was simply cleaning the surface of my teeth prior to putting in the new fillings. After she put in the new fillings (which did not hurt at all) she was very careful to shave them just so-- she checked my bite several times with each filling to ensure that the new fillings wouldn't in any way change my bite or feel rough in my mouth. All in all, a wonderful experience. I was especially happy to see how kind she was to her own staff and how well they worked together. I could tell she was a good employer and it was obvious that her staff held her in high esteem as well. Very refreshing! One of the nicest things was that Suzette, who runs the front desk, called me as I'd gotten to my car to tell me I'd left my lunch at the office. When I thanked her and said I'd walk back for it, she insisted on bringing it to me (two flights of stairs and across the parking lot) because she knew I'd been feeling ill (unrelated to the dentistry). How nice is that?!! I've since received a nice letter from Dr. Saffarpour thanking me for my business and letting me know that she is accepting new patients. When my mother complained about her dentist recently, I replied that she should really switch to Dr. Saffarpour. She is truly the best and I will make every effort to use her services in the future, should I need them, regardless of where I'm living next. read more

I have been going to Dr Saffarpour since she took over this practice from the previous dentist Dr Winthrop. Dr Saffapour and her dental assistant Karla have always been very accommodating, kind, friendly and professional. I enjoy going to their office as much as anyone can enjoy going the the dentist. They have worked with me through very extensive cosmetic procedures to fix the 20+ years I had gone without much dental care and have always worked with me on any dental procedure phobias I have so well that I can't say anything about the dentist scares me anymore. She is a wonderful dentist and I highly recommend her to all my friends looking for a new provider. read more

Wonderful dentist & staff. Easy to schedule an appt. & even offers a Saturday appt. which meets our needs perfectly. Always greeted with warmth & care.

We are very happy with her and her staff. read more

Such an amazing dentist and dental assistant! They make the experience so relaxing and comfortable to meet your needs. They allowed me to pick a movie to watch while they are working on my teeth which makes the time fly. Also, the massage chair makes it difficult to not fall asleep! Best dentist I've worked with and most relaxing experience I've had in a dental office by far. Also, the receptionist is very accommodating and personable, the customer service is AHmazing! read more
