The problem is not with the dentist rather than the assistants. Nothing got accomplished as they lead me to believe a simple fix would be 125 dollars. When they came back it was over 10000. It would have been nice if they informed me prior to appointment that insurance does not cover any or little of Holistic Dentistry. Now I got to go find another dentist again, which is annoying.I have high end insurance.

Nothing but excellence! After experiencing what I thought was a chipped or cracked tooth, I went to Aria Dental on the strong recommendation of friends The diagnosis was thorough and to my relief, it wasn’t a tooth after all. This guy here was overdue for a deep cleaning by a few decades! Today, I had my appointment and I was slightly hesitant and simultaneously relieved to finally be getting this done. Connie was my technician. I’m sure there is a more appropriate term. Nevertheless, Connie handled the procedure better than I could have imagined! Even the sedation was painless…how did she do that? Connie was very expert during the entire 2+ hours and even made me laugh more than a couple times. The bottom line is that I can’t say enough good things about the operation that Maryam runs and I will not be doing much more regular maintenance. I’m hoping they give me Connie every time. She was fantastic! Thank you Aria for taking such good care of me. I highly recommend this fine establishment!!

From my first consultation at Aria Dental, I felt assured and comfortable that I was in expert hands. My dentist explained the process of getting a porcelain onlay with such detail and patience, addressing all of my concerns and questions. The level of care and precision taken during the procedure was impressive.The staff at Aria Dental are professional, friendly, and truly prioritize patient care. I am thoroughly satisfied with the treatment I received and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality dental care.
