Dr. Shahram Ashtiani best doctor:) I can't express how satisfied and happy I walked out of here for my first time ! Staff is great.

This dental office is really sloppy. I would not trust anything they have to say when it comes to billing. I've complained with the bbb and the board of dentistry. Do not go here unless you have to. You will get a late bill months later and they have horrible service when it comes to these types of issues. Unless you like being ripped off don't go here. I'm surprised there aren't stories about how dentists are the new used car salesmen. They're all slimy and care about getting a dollar. read more

The staff especially Jesse are accommodating, kind , friendly and warm. Very well run office, great Dentistry- this place is the best you can find. They care and it shows. Thank you read more

This place has been a godsend for me. They saved my smile just in time for my wedding! I had an urgent need to replace my front tooth (long story) and they not only did my implant perfectly but also didn't settle when my crown came in and it was the wrong color the first time. They put so much time and effort into my tooth that I have decided to switch to them for all my dental needs going forward. I have been extremely grateful to the doctors and techs here! Front desk has also been very transparent with my billing and always matches what my insurance claims show. Thank you to the entire team for giving me back my confidence in my smile. read more

See all

absolutely would never recommend this dentist. My autistic daughter needed extensive dental work done with two root canals and it took him over 4 hours, at which he left her in the chair and assisted other patients during that time. it cost over $6000 and he didn't send her home with any pain killer or antibiotics. she was up crying all night because of the pain and was closed the following day. I will never step foot into this dentist again. read more

getting some dental work with Dr. Gold! He sat there working on me for 90 minutes and did a wonderful job what a wonderful place I've been here for 30 years Kelly Brewer read more

Do not come here for orthodontics unless you're okay with extremely long waits to see the doctor. He is only in twice a month and they are not a consistent every other week. The books do not open until a month out and they recommend calling when you start on the last set of aligners they give you. But when you call for that appointment, the next available is a month out leaving you in your current set of cracked aligners for 5 weeks. The doctor will only give you two months of aligners at a time but can't see you for your next appointment for 3 months. Make it make sense. When you are finally seen by the doctor, the appointment is less than 5 minutes. After you've been taken back, he looks at your teeth for 2 seconds, brushes off any concerns that you have, hands you 4 more sets and says "see you in 2 months!". I wish I spent a little more and went to a different orthodontist. read more

Poor quality work. My permanent crown fell off in less than a week. Long wait times even with an appointment. read more

Newport Dental staff were tremendously caring and helpful to me when visiting and interacting with their Katella office. I use to be dental visit unfriendly, but not anymore. TG Dr. Shahram Ashtiani is not just an incredible doctor, he's a Michelangelo of the "Dental Arts," both in the mastery of providing outstanding dental services and care, but that he patiently and articulately educates his patients to better manage their dental hygiene with clear and concise suggestions. I couldn't recommend a better dental practice in Orange County and thank Newport Dental for their kind and remarkable services. Case closed! Full Stop.... Happy Holidays. ; ) read more

Made and appointment to have my wisdom teeth removed here and called out of work to get to the appointment only for them to say they can't do it, wasted PTO and time, What a joke. read more

i got my wisdom teeth removed there, and my surgeon was very nice, it felt like I was in the waiting room longer than the actual surgery and healing went by pretty fast. You just have to make sure you follow the post-op instructions! The general dentist that I usually see is also very nice and makes you feel welcome and doesn't judge you at all! he's one of the best dentist I've ever had i'm never going anywhere else. read more

Poor experience. Employees lacked customer service and communication skills. During the x-ray portion of my visit, I was told to communicate if anything was causing me pain. When I made a noise expressing I was in pain I received no help. When the x ray device fell from my mouth I was told, "yea, let's not do that." Jessica (the woman doing my x rays) kept bickering with me and told me to raise my hand from under the weight x ray vest to show I was in pain... after she scolded me for previously showing signs of pain. She was rude, showed no empathy, and overall made my first experience at Newport dental extremely unpleasant. read more

Horrible place went there today for an appointment 1st time. took a bunch of x-rays and didn't even clean my teeth. They didn't do anything in particular and just took x-rays and explained to me what I needed: $8,000 for a bridge, and they bumped their head about 8000 times. All about trying to upsell you with nonsense, horrible service, set me an estimate to confuse the heck out of me. I still don't understand the damn estimate they gave me. I am very disappointed we'll never go there again. I have insurance. At least you could have do is clean my damn teeth while I'm there. Save your time save your money save the hassle do not go to this place read more

In my experience, The staff at Newport Dental, Jessie, Ruby, Brittany, William and Dr. Ashtiani have all been pleasant to engage with and my appointments are at the end of what is probably a long day for all of them. My family of 4 all use Newport Dental as so far we haven't had a bad experience. Keep up the good work! read more

Good place and Good Doctors ! But needs to be more organized. I hope this review be helpful. Thanks doctor Matt read more

This place amazing !!! Came in for a wisdom tooth removal and the whole process went so fast and smooth. The staff is so professional and friendly and the doctors are amazing. They pulled the tooth out in seconds and i was on my way faster than i came in . Would recommend this place 100000% . read more

What a great experience! I was nervous because i saw the bad reviews on here, but when i looked at google and their website, i saw glowing praises so i decided to give it a try. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. They were quick, efficient, kind, friendly, and treated me like a normal person with a budget. They respectfully asked if my slightly crooked teeth were something i would want to change (it wasn't) instead of saying i HAD to change it. They agreed that my misalignment wasn't negatively affecting anything else and didn't push me to do something i wasnt interested in doing. The dentist was gentle and very aware while checking my teeth and made sure i wasnt in too much discomfort. And when he found my chipped filling he explained everything clearly for me and listened when i stated that although unnecessary, i wanted to have it repaired because it was bothering me. Overall, a fantastic experience. I am so glad i chose them. read more

6 years later and I still have all my teeth, and they're in perfect shape. Just gonna leave it at that. read more

I wish I could give 100 stars to this office for the incredible service and honest professionalism I received. Prior to coming to this office, I attempted to receive care from another dentist's office called Orange Premier Dental in Orange, CA. Unfortunately, that office tried to charge me over $1800 for supposed 'special services' that were not covered under my insurance. I felt uneasy about the way they did not explain the needed procedures so I looked to Newport Dental for a 2nd opinion. Thank God I did because Newport Dental not only got me in for a new patient exam within 2 days, but they also performed all the procedures I needed that same day in record time if you ask me lol. I received professional, genuine, and honest care from everyone I encountered starting with the wonderful ladies at the front desk to the amazing back office assistant who did my X-rays and assisted in the procedures performed by the talented and obviously very experienced Dentist himself. Everything that needed to be done was 100% covered by my insurance! Words can not express my gratitude to this office for being honest, educated, professional, and efficient. I am beyond happy that I chose to come to Newport Dental-orange for a 2nd opinion and I will always keep my business here. I would recommend them to everyone looking for a dental office that they can trust and can rely on to do the needed treatments in the best way possible! Thank You again to everyone at Newport Dental- Orange you guys are the Best!! read more

So I went to Newport Dental and I had to get fillings. they had me waiting for more than an hour. My appointment was at 8am and I got there at 8:05am so I figure okay I'll wait for a bit since I was 5 min late. I sat in the chair until 9ish and it wasn't until I complained to one of the dentist there that I had been waiting in the chair for another half an hour and no one was doing anything. When I said that a dentist came in quickly and did my fillings. Another patient came in at 9 and that same dentist was working on his teeth. That patient had been coming to them for a while (based on the conversations they were having). I don't think it's fair that new patients have to wait a while to get seen. If you give me an appointment I expect to get seen with in half an hour it is ridiculous that I waited for more than an hour for a 20 min job. I am also reasonable and the fact that they weren't transparent bothers me. I have a job and I asked for specific hours to be off so it bothers me when my time is not respected. And btw: A week or two weeks later my wisdoms tooth where I had a filling was hurting. I couldn't even chew on my left side. I went back and the service was a little bit faster. However, my tooth is still currently hurting. So it's a drag to go back and forth. However before that when I first did my initial appointment I asked about my wisdom teeth being removed because that's were I needed fillings and I figure to just removed them because it is already hard to brush and floss my wisdom teeth. I had asked to removed them and one of the assistants said for me to focus on the filling and then looking into removing them. That doesn't make sense! But I don't know about teeth i just figure why get filling when they can get removed. After my filling appointment, I told the dentist of removing my teeth and she said that I should have asked for that because it doesn't make sense to remove them now since I got a filling. -________- (I knew I was done with this place) I don't think they coordinate well. I don't think they listen to the concerns of the patients. The reason why I also say this is because I also got a braces consultation and I was asking about Invisalign and I felt the orthodontist was pushing braces and trying to remove 4 front teeth (I want to remove my wisdom teeth not my front teeth. It's a bummer but I'll be looking for another place. read more

Staff is rude. They either on their personal phones and phone calls and we're too busy to answer questions. I heard everyone complaining about this office while in the waiting area. Sad thing is my elderly uncle has medical and doesn't have much options to where he can go but this place is not a good place to go for dental care. read more

I had call earlier in the day set up the appointment, provided my insurance information to whom I talk to. Upon my early arrival to my appointment I walk in and I see that two receptionist are on their personal cellphone laughing and minding their own business. I signed in and they proceeded to tell me that they are in lunch and asked me to wait outside the building. I couldn't wait in the waiting area despite it being open and no signs posted saying they are in lunch at all. Highly unprofessional even to the point where they wanted me to provide my information again saying that I talk with an operator. I know I did not speak to an operator because they made it very clear I needed a mask despite being vaccinated I genuinely don't recommend these provider I recommend elsewhere. I'll happily drive to another provider. Good luck to the owner knowing they have such poor customer care who just collect a paycheck and don't give a dam about their new clients glad I'm not the only seeing their poor customer care read more

I don't recommend this place anymore because I spent over $1700 out of my own pocket (Plus what my insurance paid) to get partials made over a year ago.... which they made molds for them.... which I never got but they took my money! Then they had the audacity to contact me and tell me I still owe them more money several months later.... because they said my insurance didn't cover some of the cost... which I paid for that too.... and on the same phone call I asked them when I was going to get my partials. They said "What? You never got those? We will check into that and get right back with you". That never happened but yet here it is almost a year later and they send me a text saying I need to come in for my yearly cleaning. So they have no problem taking my money... but apparently they have a problem keeping records... and following through with what they say they're going to do! read more

I truly don't understand all the bad reviews for Newport Dental Orange. I'm a recent new patient here, and I have received the utmost respectful attention and guidance. The first appointment revolved around new patient information and X-rays, and they later suggested I consider aligners. The invoice for the aligners at my old dentist's office were nearly double of the estimate I received here. My second time at the office, I accepted the estimate and came in for teeth scanning; my third time (a month later), I had my first aligner mold installed. The entire team was so caring and sweet! Shoutout to all the doctors (Dr. Ashtiani) and assistants - they were lovely. Excited to keep coming back here to get my progress checked. read more

I didn't think much going to the dental. First time coming in for a checkup for some concerns and everything was a-okay on the phone. I then noticed their poor and unprofessional customer service. They started speaking with a client who was very professional and understandably upset as the wires of her daughter's braces popped frequently after getting them tightened from this dental, and was asking for the quickest checkup as she was in pain. I wasn't really paying attention but the worker got noticeably annoyed and started speaking with the mom with a very condescending tone saying there is no more space for them, which the manager came from request and more professionally situated with the mom, but did not fix any problems. I myself was not happy but then fixed my problem no big deal and went to another dental. Got a lot more done and thankfully had the other dental be compassionate, helpful and explained everything that we had to know. It was a noticeable change since the workers from here talked at us rather than just casually fixing this problem we had for a deep cleaning. For my daughter to go through any care under the dental table we had to pay and didn't really felt like we had another choice, when the other dental had everything totally covered with insurance. read more

Good dentists, staff is mostly competent with the exception of their billing practices. Be extra careful when getting your estimate, get it in writing and have it signed. I am still being billed after having the entire amount put on care credit, I specifically asked if there would be any further changes as I would have added any additional fees to care credit. She understood and told me For Sure no further fees would be forthcoming. 6 months later I am still receiving bills from them. At the stage where I might need a lawyer. Be careful with these folks as they might surprise you too. read more

First want to say Ruby got to love her she's the one who brings in estimate lol violet,Jess Diane awesome . Dr. Ashtiani the best very caring and kind. Thank you all read more

If I could give this office 6 stars, I would. I've been coming here for a couple of years and have needed extensive dental work. Dr A has always made sure that my nerves were under control and my pain was minimal. Saturday morning, I woke up with the worst pain in my mouth I had ever experienced. I had a lower back tooth that was beyond repair and hadn't been diligent about getting it removed because it wasn't causing any pain. The pain came out of nowhere and was so bad I could hardly talk - thankfully they got me in and were able to remove the tooth and immediately relieve the pain I had been in. I can't thank this office enough, I don't know what I would have done if they hadn't taken care of me read more

I have never or probably ever will again say this, but this is my FAVORITE Dentist Office!!! I had to have Oral Surgery. The first time I attempted, I was petrified. I was sedated and some time during the procedure (I was told) I woke up out of the sedation as you could imagine, that just added to my almost paralyzing fear of the Dentist I finally went to have the procedure completed. Dr. Ashtiana and his assistants Amy and Tony were extremely patient and professional at keeping me calm every single step of the way. The ladies at the front desk also played a BIG part in keeping me calm...Lily, Jackie, Jessica and Imelda!!! Thank you all for your patience!!!! I HIGHLY recommend this office especially if you have a fear of the Dentist P.S. Five stars is nowhere near enough read more

As we come to the close of 2015, many of us reflect on the blessings we have received during last year. How grateful I am that I can cite my experience with Dr. Kafaei and her staff at Newport Dental as among my blessings! Dr. Kafaei has been my dentist since 2000 and I am so happy that she recently moved to this location closer to my home. She inspires the utmost confidence by her smile, and her wealth of knowledge, skill, and professionalism. I believe she is tremendous asset for Newport Dental in Orange. I highly recommend her and her team. read more

Newport Dental - General Dentistry Near Me - Orange, California

I've been looking for a dentist for a year and a half after I found out that my previous dentist went out of state to work with VA hospital. I saw other dentists during her absence and I was so disappointed. One even was so horrible, made me cry for 3 days. Anyhow, I was lucky when my husband told me to see Dr. Ashtiani. I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful he is. He is very knowledgeable, he makes you feel relaxed and he makes sure that your dental work would be at the minimal pain, he is really fast and bottom line is that he is the most amazing dentist I have ever met. The staff are great, just had some problems with my appointment times but that got resolved too. My family would also come to Dr. Ashtiani. Thank you all for the great job you are doing specially during the Covid. Giving doctor Shahram Ashtiani 10 stars read more

Horrible service! They refused to see my 5 year old because they supposedly didn't have the materials to work on baby teeth. They just don't want to deal with kids during COVID-19. Earlier this year they worked on my 10 year old daughter and filled her cavities and some where baby teeth. Complete waist of time! read more

Very friendly, makes you feel comfortable and gets the best care for fixing your teeth!

Dr. Ashtiani is so gentle and I had no pain.. I am not afraid to go to the dentist anymore

Fantastic experience overall. First, I'm covered with denti-cal. Second, beautiful and hospitable office. Third, very speedy service because of a nice time I went. Fourth, technology; nearly instant x-ray visuals for teeth on their computer screens. Fifth, multiple doctors ready at my service. Sixth, knowledgeable staff with a will to help their patients. read more

I moved to the Orange area recently and needed to find a new dental office. So glad I found the Newport Dental group. Nice clean and fast service. I especially like the Dentist and his staff. I not only found a dentist I found a home. Have referred my whole family and we are all very satisfied read more

First time here for an emergency visit as my toothache was unbearable! Ashitani treated my pain and filled my cavity very quickly and efficiently! He made me feel comfortable by guiding my through every step of the way! Next up, my wisdom teeth extractions! Overall recommend read more

Worst place I have been so far. Taken back over an hour after my appointment time all 3 times I've come then left sitting with no clue what is getting done for another 30-45 minutes. They make you schedule a new appointment for every service I assume this is due to being able to collect an office visit charge for work that could easily be completed in one visit. They give very vague descriptions of your options and even tried to say my insurance doesn't work here then came back saying it did work when we said we would just go somewhere else. I was even told they would clean the right side of my mouth and I could come back to do the left. At that point I walked out and will not be returning for myself or my kids. Can't say it enough.. Worst office experience I have ever had. read more

I made an appointment 6 months ago for a9:00 am appointment tomorrow. I was sent texr a few days ago wanting me to confirm my appointment and I did. This afternoon they called to cancel my appointment for tomorrow and was rescheduling for December 17th in the afternoon. I cannot make that appointment. Since, they canceled on me, I think they should have fit me in earlier. Not 2 months from now. I'm not hapoy. read more

I will give this office a 5 starts because i really like my hygienist. Amy did a wonderful job on my cleaning. I really recommend this place although needs more life at the front office. read more
