From the front desk service to the X-rays technician to the dentist Jia all of them were amazing and gave great service but if there's anyone who deserves their flowers it's Cody, the hygienist. I almost fell asleep during my deep cleaning that's how great he is at his job. He knows how to explain everything to where you know exactly what is going to happen next and you can tell he really cares about your dental health. If you too have bad experiences at the dentist I urge you to give them a chance.

Dr. Sheida did an amazing job numbing me; I didn't feel any pain at all, which I was really nervous about going in. Her staff, Margarita and Milgrid, were incredibly kind and took the time to explain the entire process and what needed to be done, which made everything way less stressful. They took the x-rays which normally take forever but only took a few minutes. The whole visit was quick, smooth, and very well organized. I left feeling relieved and genuinely happy with the outcome. I'm really grateful for how well I was taken care of and would definitely recommend this office, especially for emergencies.

I was blown away by the amount of communication and education, but also the compassion and care of the team.

Dr. Akkari prioritized my tooth and preserving it longterm over a quick or pricier fix. Thankful for this place.

I just had 2 small cavities taken care of yesterday and I went in there with such ease knowing I was in good hands based on my previous experience with Dr. Akkari. Once again, the whole process was completely pain free and I was out of there in less than an hour (the procedure itself was at most 15 minutes). Also, I cant understand why there are a few negative reviews about their receptionists. Rita has always been super sweet & I can't remember the other ladies name but they have always been super polite and helpful with scheduling, rescheduling, checking in & helping me get a referral to an oral surgeon. And as always, his dental assistants are kind & gentle as well.

25 years of fear of the dentists taken away in 5 visits. 3 different Dentist saw me. First one…read moregave me assurance and no pressure to do more than necessary. 1st: Examined X-rays. Calmly told what was needed. Cleared up any uncertainties on current state of my teeth. Was able to take the time to explain my last dental visit (25) years ago and how my teeth health declined over the years - to the current condition it was in. I was not badgered, judged, ridiculed, or dismissed for my bad dental habits. I admit I eat sweets and don't rinse or brush in between meals, just in the morning and before sleep time. Explained what each visit would entail. Gave options on how to proceed. Ended with "No pressure. We will try our best to make it as easy as possible and hopefully you'll consider us". 2nd: It was communicated to the next doctor that I have a deathly fear of needles. I don't care what the rest of the world thinks. When seeing or even thinking of a needle, I imagine an unsteady hand stabbing it in the wrong place only to pull it out with blood gushing all over the place. Fortunately, this was understood by the doctor and I was able to get my deep cleaning without needles. The process was steady and not rushed. I was asked every step of the way if I wanted to proceed and how I was feeling. In the end I was sat down for a summary. I had time to ask as many questions as I needed. It was asked of me to check on my gum health for swelling or bleeding. They will follow up on next visit. 3rd: Gum health improved noticibly. Finished up last session with some light cleaning, no deep cleaning this time. Encourage me to keep using WaterPik floss machine and rinse my mouth with water in-between meals. Mentally helped me prepare for the next visit which would involve the infamous "needle"!! Oh boy. I dreaded this for the last 25 years. However, it had to be done since I needed 7 fillings, 1 new cap, 1 old cap replaced and possibly a root canal. I was also suffering nerve pain in my upper left side. Because a tooth was left thin and exposing too much gum. 4th: Right side fillings and preparation for a new cap. The Dentist this time asked politely if I would put my trust in them. I was asked to close my eyes and count slowly backward from 100. First they put on the numbing cream, no problem. My mouth was gently massaged as a small stream of cool water/air hit the spot of the injection. I believe this was to distract from the actual injection. Either way, I was extremely aware of all this as it was happening. By the time 95 was up I was asked "how did it go?". Honestly, it was still very scary for me. As for the pain, there was no pain! Unbelievable. 5th: Finished up filling on left side. I had a huge gap on the tooth that was giving me nerve pains. It was methodically filled in and cured layer by layer. That makes me feel like care was put into it. All other filling were also done on that side. Not sure how many fillings I had on which side. At this point I was just thrilled I got great treatment. Since I mentally prepared myself and already had a needle from the last treatment, it was such a relief to know I can now safely visit dentist again. I told the doctor, "It just feels like somebody poking you.". I thought there would be a really sharp pinch. The reality was it felt like a friend poking you with their fingernail. * If done properly, the needle should not hurt or even scare you. I'm sure I sounded like a broken record to them when I expressed my concerns. I can tell they communicated well with the previous doctors and already knew what kind of patient they were dealing with. I believe the entire staff is trained well and acts with professionalism. They treat their patients with respect and care for them. There are doctors who have worked there for over 20 years and still have pride in what they do. This place is not sloppy. It is the opposite. Some essential criteria all dental practices should have answers to: 1. Describe pain level during procedures. 2. Describe pain level after procedure and how to deal with it. 3. Explain how long it may take to recover from pain. 4. Recommend course of action to prevent repeat procedures. Eg. redo deep cleaning 5. Recommend absolute necessary procedures to maintain long health teeth vs optional procedures. Eg. Are fillings good enough or do you need " crown or cap" 6. With good dental hygiene vs bad hygiene, how long will your work last before I have to go back in to redo it. All these concerns and questions were met optimally. After checking with some Internet research, I praise this practice for giving no nonsense accurate answers. I hope you can sense from the tone and possible grammar inconsistency that it was not written with AI or using Grammarly. If you don't believe this to be authentic, feel free to message me and I will gladly share more.

I was facing the possibility of jaw surgery to address my airway and breathing issues, but thanks to Dr. Afzali and Vital Ortho, I was able to pursue a much less invasive alternative. The treatment has opened up my airway, and I am looking forward to no longer needing my CPAP machine to breathe comfortably while sleeping. That alone is life-changing! Another incredible benefit of Vital Ortho is the significantly shorter treatment time compared to traditional orthodontics. I love that this innovative approach focuses on so much more than just straightening teeth. It addresses important functional issues that can have a tremendous impact on overall health and quality of life. While I personally sought treatment for my airway, I have also met other patients in the waiting room who have shared amazing stories about the dramatic relief they have experienced from TMJ pain through their treatment with Dr. Afzali. I am so grateful to have found a dentist who looks beyond just teeth and takes such an innovative, whole-body approach to dental health. If you have been told you need jaw surgery, struggle with airway issues, use a CPAP, or suffer from TMJ pain, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Afzali at Lifetime Dental. It may open the door to treatment options you didn't even know existed! Thank you, Dr. Afzali, for making such a positive difference in my health and quality of life!

Please save yourself the money, time, and pain. I had a cavity filling done here on a tooth that…read morehad never caused me any pain before. Unfortunately, I ended up dealing with pain for 2 and a half years afterward. I was very scared of dentists, so I kept putting off going back and just lived with the pain. When I finally went to another dentist for a professional check up's, I was told that the cavity had not been properly treated and that I now needed a root canal because the decay had reached the nerve. I'm extremely disappointed that something that could have been treated with a filling ended up becoming a much bigger and more painful issue. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend finding another dental and carefully considering your options before getting treatment here. Please save yourself the money and the pain. ‼UPDATED‼ I actually did call them like they told me to, and honestly the whole thing just made me even more annoyed. They looked me up and clearly saw that I was a patient there, but then the dentist tried telling me that it was a different dentist who treated me and basically tried to make it seem like maybe I went to a completely different dental office and confused the two. Like... seriously? Are you that dumb? Just admit you can't do your job right The dentist who treated me was George Mirsal. I know where I went and who treated me. I'm not sure why they felt the need to act like I somehow made up or confused my own dental treatment when they literally had my name and records in front of them. Their response to my review made it sound like they actually wanted me to contact them so they could "properly investigate" what happened. I did. And instead of actually taking responsibility or even listening to what I was saying, I felt like they were trying to question whether I was even a patient there in the first place. And basically calling me a liar when my RECORD IS RIGHT INFRONT OF THEM! After dealing with years of pain from a tooth that never even hurt before I got it filled, and eventually needing a root canal, this was the last thing I wanted to deal with. So yeah, based on MY experience, I would seriously recommend going somewhere else. Save yourself the headache, money, and pain because I definitely wish I had.
