Consistently excellent. Fantastic Dentist. Fantastic staff. Cutting-edge technology and a positive environment. Our family loves it here! Highly recommend. read more

Thank you Dr Shafiei, Lili, Moji and Behar, I value and appreciate your friendliness, professionalism, expertise, and the manner in which you provide dental care. I am glad to be getting my dental work done at your practice. Shawn M read more

I've been a patient of Spectrum Dentistry for over 10 years and could not be happier with the level of service I receive from the Doctors and staff. Pro-tip: Ask for Amanda to get your teeth cleaned. She's super friendly and will ensure you are distracted and comfortable during your cleanings. Pro-tip #2: Ask to get x-rays done with their fancy standing 360 degree x-ray machine. The staff was able to determine that I had a sinus infection, all from an X-ray! Another reason I will always be a patient of Spectrum Dentistry. They don't overlook anything and won't up-sell you on unnecessary services. read more

Dr. Padideh Shafiei has been my doctor for many years. My husband and I were one of her first patients at Spectrum Dentistry and we have no plans to look for another doctor to take care of our smile. She is very knowledgeable and gentle, she cares about the person not just the patient. Also, her staff is very professional and friendly, I feel I am among old friends when I visit her office for my routine checkups. I highly recommend Spectrum Dentistry! read more

I have been a patient of Spectrum Dentistry for approximately 5 years, maybe longer. My dental needs have varied from a simple cleaning to needing a specialist for a root canal. I am currently in the first step of the Invisalign process. Every time that a procedure was required, I have been met with compassion and understanding. All of my contact with the office whether in person or via phone, the staff is always kind, polite, considerate, and knowledgeable. Spectrum Dentistry will never finagle pricing or give you a sales pitch. This office is honest and upfront with all co-payments and your portion of the financial responsibility. Each member of my family is a patient of Spectrum Dentistry. We trust and love this office so much that we drive 23 miles each way. I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone that is in need of a fabulous dental office. read more

Such wonderful staff and dentists! So friendly, gentle and kind. Always do such a wonderful job and make us feel like we are family. I used to dread going to the dentist and now look forward to keeping my teeth health on track with every visit. All the covid precautions they took were awesome and made me so happy to see they were taking extra steps to insure safety. Absolutely love this place and would 100% recommend it! read more

Dr. Shafiei and her team are amazingly knowledgeable. I was very impressed with the information that I received about the state of my chompers. The recommendation that they gave me came with a sound justification and some dental 101 knowledge. I did not feel like I was being poked and prodded just so they could meet their quota. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Padideh Shafiei for the past 18 years. I've always loved her work, she is a perfectionist! She is friendly, compassionate and very professional. Going to the dentist is not my favorite thing to do but I know I'm in good hands with Dr. Shafiei and her staff. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent experience to get my dental visits, especially my Ortho/ Invisalign done with Dr shafiei, and her staff. They are really professional,and flexible with my busy schedule. Very clean and organized office as well. Would highly recommend this professional, caring, friendly, great staff, and fantastic doctors! read more

Dr. Shafiei did a phenomenal job with my Invisalign. My routine dental care has also been a great experience overall. I have been a patient for about 3 years now, flying from across the country. I was especially pleased after a dentist in Washington DC had initially recommended a crown for a molar tooth, but Dr. Shafiei suggested that a filling would get the job done. It's been 3 years now and I've had no issues with that tooth, which has a lot of its natural structure preserved. The staff is clearly skillful and always friendly and courteous. read more

Great people all around, they really care about the health of your teeth they do the best they can for you to have a great beautiful nice smile. Over all the office is very clean. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for a couple of years now. My hygienist has always been very gentle. They always answer all my questions thoroughly. read more

Came in for a cleaning on a Saturday and didn't get out for 2+ hours due to wait time despite the cleaning itself only taking ~20 minutes. Nicely decorated office space. However, felt they were trying to sell out-of pocket services like a deep cleaning despite second opinions noting not necessary. Other reviews mention this as well so assume this is a regular occurrence. Won't return read more

Pros: great office, comfortable chairs, great amenities, and incredibly helpful staff, especially when it comes to explaining how much your bill is... which helps to explain why the office is so nice. Cons: So expensive!!! told my wife that she had 10 cavities and was working on getting them filled as quickly as possible (cash paying $2600). I had her get a second opinion, yeah, she had 4 real cavities and paid $500 to get them fixed. Now I now why the place is so nice. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Shafiei and her staff enough. I hadn't been to a dentist since before college, because I didn't have the funds, and naturally I spent a long time in college without dental care. When I met Dr. Shafiei I had loads of work that needed to be done, and I was scared of both the amount of money it would cost, and the whole process in general. I had tried two other Irvine dentists immediately before Spectrum Dentistry, and decided to get a third opinion. Boy have I been glad I made that choice. For starters, she is very warm and extremely informative. I'm an engineer, and I can't commit to a procedure without knowing every single variable and potential complication. I need to know the impacts of various treatment paths, and the different tiers of quality one can use to achieve them. In all respects, Dr. Shafiei is obliging, thorough and extremely well-informed. Talking with her is like having an experienced family member in the business, who only wants to do right by you and expose all risks, factors and data available for treatment. Her staff all show the same level of attention to detail, from doctors to hygienists to assistants to front desk personnel. I've been going here for more years than I can count, and as her staff has grown, the same level of quality has remained consistent. They are friendly, personable and fun! In terms of the actual practice, everything is immaculate, surfaces and tools are very obviously meticulously maintained. Probably the biggest fear I had was that things would be costly, painful and poorly explained. Thankfully none of these apply. They are very conscious of your comfort level throughout. There is also DirecTV in the rooms, and soft music playing in the background. There are waters and coffee in the waiting area, and you never have to look far for a friendly face. No matter how complex the billing gets with your insurance company, Spectrum staff are friendly and eager to explain and help out wherever they can. I can tell you from experience their rates are extremely competitive, but their quality exceeds other dentists in the area by far. They literally take the mystery and the pain out of dentistry, and that's what makes them truly unique. The fact that they're all so vivacious and kind is just icing on the cake! I couldn't be happier with Spectrum Dentistry, and I'm pretty sure you'll feel the same way too. Dr. Sharifi, Bahar, Brenda, Dan, Jasmine and Lilli are all amazing and great to work with. And Mojgan has me in stitches literally every time! You really build a genuine rapport with everyone there. If you're looking for a dentist, stop! Dr. Shafiei is the one! Source(s): I've been a customer for many years and had many procedures, from extractions to implants to Invisalign and root canals. I have also referred friends who have had the same "Wow!" experience throughout. read more

I was referred to Spectrum Dentistry by my girlfriend. I have been seen by Amanda and Dr. Shakibi. They made my experience pleasant and comfortable. I look forward to coming here and seeing all their friendly faces. read more

Spectrum Dentistry - General Dentistry Near Me - Irvine, California

I went to Spectrum Dentistry a little over five years ago after my old dentist sold his practice. Little did I know, but my old dentist was awful. Everything he had done in my mouth was breaking and falling apart. He did a poor job on several of my crowns that had to be replaced. In 2008, I had Dr. Shafiei do veneers in the top part of my mouth. My teeth were discolored from medication as a child, plus my teeth sizing was uneven (genetic). I wanted a nice bright smile. My teeth turned out beautiful and I receive so many comments daily! I highly recommend Dr. Shafiei and her staff. My husband, friends, and even co-workers go to Spectrum Dentistry now. The office is always accommodating, even with people with crazy busy schedules like me. They have long hours, and are even open on Saturdays! read more

I adore the whole team. Their service is impeccable. Even after relocating to Paris, France 2 years ago, I continue to use Spectrum Dentistry as my primary dental care provider. I travel over 5,000 miles to use their services. They make going to the dentist fun! Dr. Shafiei and her talented team are the best! read more

I have been coming to Spectrum for 3 years now and rarely leave yelp reviews, but I have been to several in the area trying to find exceptional dentistry and researched for the best. I have finally found a relaxing and extremely talented dentist. She is beyond a perfectionist and goes out of her way to provide options for you as the client. I have been treated very honestly and professional here, and that means a lot to me since I've spent money on things that was unnecessary at other places The team of girls work so great as a team and each of them has great personalities that make you feel comfortable and calm. Everything is always on time and goes so smoothly all the time, its really a great vibe. FYI - They offer the are the best invisalign in the area, check out there before and after pics, its incredible! read more

The office staff in general is incredibly nice, and all of them seem invested in trying to get you the best dental care at the most affordable price (they were willing to work with my insurance). The facility and technology is state-of-the-art, which really lent itself to the experience - having your own TV to look up at while they're cleaning your teeth helps take your mind off the procedure. They also have a mini-camera that they used to show me (using the screen) a cavity they had found, or staining on my teeth, etc., which was great because it helped me understand what she was talking about (and how bad it was). The main doctor's rational for starting the practice was what initially drew me: She wanted the opportunity to pursue her passion (dentistry), but found that insurances would sometimes dictate practices that were cost effective but not necessarily best for the patient. So she opened a practice where she could always put the patient's best interests first. Not sure if it's a great marketing tool or if it's genuine, but my experience there made me believe it was genuine :) read more

Amazing staff! I come from a family (and friends) of Dentist but not able to go see any of them because they're all on the east coast. So I yelped dentist in my area and Spectrum Dentist had a 4 1/2 star rating and it should be 5 star! I asked Dr Shafiei to call my previous Dentist and go over what she discussed with me during my first visit to make sure what I was being told was accurate. She took the time to talk with him, sent my x-Rays and everything checked out. I had a wisdom tooth pulled and wasn't excited about it but they made me feel comfortable and it was painless! Side note: I have dental insurance and can see that not having insurance can be expensive but that's true in any medical field. read more

I absolutely love the entire staff!!  I could not imagine going to any other dentist!!

Extremely satisfied with the dental care, found them on my insurance provider website with all 5 star rating in 300+ reviews, with a slight doubt that I will get any appointments for 2016, decided to call in for appointment. Looking at the severe tooth pain, they gladly accommodated me in an early morning 7:30 am schedule for check up. They diagnosed a requirement of a Root Canal in 1 teeth & Deep Cleaning, my insurance was able to cover both in a very reasonable price. Staff is very helpful & accommodating, gave me two appointments back to back on 30th & 31st at 7:00 am so that I don't have to miss work. Definitely be back next year to wrap up other recommendations for filling in small areas. read more

I have been going to the same dentist office for 21 years, but was recently recommended to go to Spectrum Dentistry. I decided to give this place a try, and am extremely pleased with my results. I went in for a teeth cleaning and Invisalign consultation. The office itself is beautiful, clean, and uses extremely modern technology--they even have a TV to look at as you get your teeth cleaned! And the staff is really personable and attentive. Dr. Behnaz Sharifi was my doctor and I have nothing but positive reviews to say about her. She was really friendly, professional, and left my teeth cleaner than I have ever seen them before. People afterwards even asked me if I got my teeth whitened!! She is really detail-oriented; she even noticed cavities that my other dentist (who I had seen a month prior) had missed. Overall, an amazing experience and I would hands down recommend both Dr. Sharifi and Spectrum Dentistry, I am definitely going to continue to come here . read more

Checking in! I've been going here for 10 yrs. They are like family! So professional, friendly and always have the patient's best interests. Thank you ALWAYS!! read more

Dr. Shafiei is incredibly talented, and I must say that the dental hygienist and dental assistants are all TOP notch. Thank you guys for the professionalism the amazing customer service!:) read more

Doctor Shafiei is well informed, and talented. She has incredible amount of expertise. In The past 10+ years I've been a patient, I know Dr. Shafiei has my best interests in mind. The best part is, everyone in her office shares her passion for helping people. It's hard to find talented, caring people in any field, but to find an ENTIRE office full of them is practically impossible. But that's exactly what you'll find when you visit Dr. Shafiei practice. Which is why I always feel like I'm more than just a patient, and more like a part of their healthcare family. Sent from my iPad read more

No joke, probably the best dentist I've had. Especially in trying times like Covid, I feel safer and reassured more than anywhere else I've been this last year. Everything was perfect in my visit. read more

I LOVE this dentist!! I've been going here for a few years now and everyone that works here is amazing. They are helpful, answer all questions I have, and more importantly they are so detailed when working on my teeth! When I first visited I had a lot of cavities because my previous dentist did not do so well on my teeth. This dentist literally saved my teeth!! I love my teeth now and I'm currently using Invisalign, my last goal on the road to having the teeth I've always wanted! Thank you Spectrum Dentistry team! read more

The ladies at Spectrum Dentistry are great: from the front desk staff, to the assistants to the dentist (mine is Padideh Shafiei), everyone is making a dentist appointment as pleasant as it can be. I originally came last year, after a first appointment at another dentist who wanted to charge me $2,500 for 3 cavities, a deep cleaning and a few other things. Even though I had a PPO insurance. I went to Spectrum Dentistry, since it was recommended by a friend of mine. They checked everything, informed me that a regular cleaning would do and they fixed my few cavities. My out-of pocket was around $150. That is a little different. I just returned yesterday for my yearly check-up. They suggested a deep cleaning this time, but again here it would only cost me around $250 instead of $1,200 as suggested by the first dentist. Also a big thing for me: I am a difficult patient because I need to gag a lot, since I am super sensitive to things being in my mouth and any kind of smells or tastes. I wish I could control this, until going to the Spectrum Dentistry, it has always been kind of a nightmare to me, even to get the simplest cleaning done. The ladies at the dentistry are lovely, they come up with the best suggestions such as putting a bit of salt on my tongue or to lifting up my left leg (sounds bonkers, but seriously it works!). Not that I am looking forward to a dentist appointment, but at least I feel it will not be the most tedious hour of my year. read more

Since my last post, I have had another porcelain veneer which chipped almost half of it off! I think they took some shortcuts I was not aware of! read more

I was referred by a family member due to an emergency. I was seen right away by Dr. Shafiei. I have continued my care with her and Dr. Shakibi. Amanda, their hygienist takes care of my cleanings. She is very gentle. Everyone in the office is so friendly and caring. I brought my daughter in today and will continue referring my friends and family to Spectrum Dentistry. read more

Dr. Shafiei and her staff are amazing! As a kid growing up I hated going to the dentist but I enjoy going to get my check ups at Spectrum Dentistry. They are so friendly and great at their job. Dr. Shafiei and her staff help transform my smile through Invisalign and I couldn't be any happier. Thank you guys! read more

After so many doctors turned their back on me or wanted to treat me with some very questionable surgeries, Dr. Shaffiei, with a lot of hard work and patience, took my crooked smile to a whole new level of beautiful. I never miss an opportunity to smile now! I have been with this office since 2014, and I will never ever go anywhere else. I live in Los Angeles, and traffic or not, I drive to Irvine to see these rock-stars no matter what. This is the most honest and most friendliest office I have ever dealt with. I deeply respect and admire every single person at Spectrum Dentistry, and I send everyone I know there! read more

This office was great! It was my first visit and I was greeted by name as I walked in the door! As soon as my paperwork was finished I was taken back. All the staff was professional and very friendly. My appointment (scheduled as cleaning and exam) took and unexpected turn when an issue with the integrity of a previous procedure arose and needed to be taken care of then. Dr. Shafiei worked through lunch to make sure I was taken care of. I wanted to hug her when I left! But first appointment, didn't want to be weird. I'm looking forward to an Invisalign consultation next visit to fix an issue that my last dentist tried to resolve by shaving down my teeth. Would definitely recommend this office!! read more

My family and I have been long term patients of Spectrum Dentistry. We have been treated by both Dr. Sharifi and Dr. Shafiei. Both doctors and the entire team are extremely professional and caring. Besides the quality of care, I love the fact that I have never received any surprise bills. After the doctors diagnose, one of the team members presents the consent forms and our out of pocket cost. Then, the doctors proceed with the procedures. I highly recommend Spectrum Dentistry and both doctors to everyone. read more

I'm going to explain in detail why I'm giving this office 1 star. I came in late July of last year. I had not been to the dentist for a checkup within a year prior mostly because of dissatisfaction with the ones I'd been to previously (not problems per se, just not super satisfied). I tried going to this one since it's within walking distance of work and my gf had a filling successfully replaced. She said it was pricy, but they got the job done so I went ahead and made an appt. Boy was that a mistake. I was looked at by Dr Sanaz Seifi first. She told me after just a few minutes that I had 4 cavities that needed to be filled ASAP and that I needed a deep cleaning. I was practically beside myself because I had told them that I NEVER had a cavity before that day. I was 26 at the time, by the way. Both her and the front desk lady Bahar ignored that statement, though. That should've been my sign to leave, but I took their word for it because, hey, I hadn't been to the dentist for a year and these are professionals, right? So I let them do the first filling that day with a follow up for the week after to get my deep cleaning and to do another filling. Anyway, Dr Seifi had another patient to work on so they sent in Dr. Behnaz Sharifi to do my filling instead. This was probably the worst doctor I've ever met. First of all, she was 8 months pregnant and was getting occasional episodes of discomfort which should be reason enough to not work. She did a seriously terrible job administering the anesthesia...it was SUPER painful and i was crying a river on each shot. During the procedure she would have to get up and walk around due to her discomfort. She always made sure to leave the suction in my mouth when she did this, by the way. After I got home and the anesthesia wore off, I discovered that the tooth she filled was now experiencing pain whenever I bit down on something crunchy OR whenever I flossed next to that tooth. Ironic, because I had zero pain in that tooth (or any of my teeth) beforehand and now I had this new harmful sensation while chewing or flossing, which seemed to be the result of a sloppy job. I went in the next weekend for my follow up. First of all, Dr Sharifi didn't even remember which tooth she filled. She then proceeded to laugh about the fact that she forgot and told her coworkers something along the lines of , "haha, I forgot which tooth I filled and look at how nervous he got." Great. I told her about the problems I had with the filling and she tried a bunch of quick fixes that didn't work. She ended up re-doing it (crappy job doing the anesthesia again, btw) and during the procedure Dr Seifi, comes in and tells me that they decided not to do any of the other fillings (HMMM I WONDER WHY). Just to top it all off, I left the office with bloody gums because Dr Sharifi, again, did a sloppy job this time with the deep cleaning. My flossing problem went away, but I still had pain biting tough/crunchy food with the filled tooth. I went back several times to get the problem looked at. Luckily, I got Dr Seifi in my subsequent visits, who was so good at administering the anesthesia that I felt nothing at all. She couldn't figure out what was causing the problem, though. She kept saying she would research it and ask colleagues, but she never did as far as I know (or she never told me about it). To top off all these problems, they went through all of my insurance money AND charged me several hundred out of pocket. So basically, I paid them to give me dental problems. YES, I have thought about legal action. I'm in the middle of going to a different dentist to get this problem fixed. That dentist looked at my teeth and said that, yes, I have high cusps which could be interpreted as cavities, but he said that filling them would do more harm than good. He also found cracks on the tooth that was filled, but told me that spectrum dentistry could have a defense against me because it's hard to prove where exactly the cracks came from. This dentist I'm seeing now isn't totally finished with his work fixing my problem so I'm not going to review that one until I'm done there. So far, I've had to get a crown on my tooth because of the cracks he found. Long story short: don't go to spectrum dentistry. They will charge you a lot of money and they won't do a good job. Well, maybe they will if you don't get Dr Behnaz Sharifi. Dr Seifi does not seem to lack skill, but I'm not going to recommend her because she was the person who recommended the fillings I didn't need. Dr Sharifi was just horrible all around. Botched the filling, did a poor deep cleaning job, and was working while she was clearly not able to do so. That says a lot about her judgment. If you look at their website (www.spectrumdentistry.com) it seems like Dr Seifi isn't listed. No idea what's going on there, but just another reason to stay away IMO. read more

Ok...I am going to be very careful on how I write this but will explain why I felt entitled to write such a review. I am not even sure if putting a review on Yelp will make any difference but I feel there is some confusion that needs to be cleared up. First thing I want to point out is unfortunately there are two different dental practices located in Irvine off of Sand Canyon with the name "Spectrum" in it. However they are NOT associated with each other in anyway. There is Spectrum Dentistry and Spectrum Dental Group which are both about a block away from each other So I was referred by another professional in the medical field to go to a dentist in Irvine located on Sand Canyon. Matter of fact the referral party was the sister of the doctor. Now I take the blame that when I was told the name of the dentist office, I did not pay attention and just remembered the doctors' name ( Mr. Wayne Wu) and the facility having the word "Spectrum" in it. I then Google all dentist in the Irvine area located near Sand Canyon and sure enough dentist office popped up that contained the word "Spectrum". The search results seem all the same and never thought there were any dentists that would have the same name that are not affiliated. So I called Spectrum Dentistry and set up an appointment. I asked if I would see the Dr. Wu who I was referred to and that is where it got weird. The front desk person suddenly said that I will not be meeting with that "dentist" you are requesting but will be setting up with a different one....I thought it was odd that I could not get the dentist I wanted and was referred to but I said ok...I took it upon myself and went to the website and it finally hit me that this was not the dentist office I was looking for. The dentist Dr. Wayne Wu name was nowhere to be seen on the website. My wife was told the same thing as she went to the appointment first and told me she never saw the dentist we were referred. Now I am not going to point fingers here but I felt a sense of dishonesty was being initiated, as we specifically asked for the dentist by name and we were never told that he was located at a different dentist location or a different dentist practice. Whether Spectrum Dentistry knew about the other practice or not, to me if they were upfront and honest about it at first, I probably would have respected their honesty and became a long term client. . What got me even more heated was when I realized there was a different office with the name Spectrum, I called Spectrum Dentistry and asked if they are affiliated.....they said yes!!!!......When I was told this, I just assume then I will go to other office called Spectrum Dental Group because it was closer to my house. However when I called this office and told that I am coming from the other branch office on Alton called Spectrum Dentistry, that was when I was informed there are two different practices. I could not believe it. My wife was also upset because work was already done and never once did they indicate that the dentist office we were looking for and the doctor was not at Spectrum Dentistry. What was amazing was when Spectrum Dental Group heard our situation, they were not bitter about it...matter of fact they said, if I like I may keep my appointment at the other location which is not affiliated and can make appoint with them 6 months from now to compare. When I heard this I thought, you don't get any more honest than that. Set aside this situation, my wife experience at the Spectrum Dentistry was not a pleasant one anyways. Like I said this just my opinion based on a situation that could of been avoided and how honesty can go a long way. I believe a business should be operated with honest business etiquette and ethics. I did not feel this from Spectrum Dentistry and would recommend Spectrum Dental Group instead. You can see I did a review on them on Yelp as well... read more

I know when some people hear the word Dentist they want to head for the hills, but at Spectrum Dentistry you have nothing to be afraid of. I have been going to this Dentist for over 3 years now and I can't think of one bad thing to say about them. The entire staff is so friendly, the hygienist's do an excellent job getting in there and removing all the things we miss with regular brushing without all the prodding. While the dentist's give you helpful information and a good scolding every know and then about how important it is to floss. (I know I need it time and again) Plus they have TV screens in every room next to your chair so when they take ex-rays of your teeth they pop up on the screen so you can see your teeth. Pretty cool. I am getting married in September and there is no one I would trust with my smile other than the excellent team over at Spectrum Dentistry : ) read more
