Dental Associates of Huntington Beach

There is not many things in this world that I enjoy less than visiting the dentist. The Dental Associates team from Dr. Omrani to Eva understands this and makes me feel comfortable and welcome.
Due to my weak enamel I have had to have a few issues with my teeth fixed including two crowns in 2015. My goal is to have perfect teeth but as a former smoker I was left with less than white teeth. After my teeth were fixed the office created whitening trays which over time removed the stains and I now have a great white smile. I opted for the trays instead of Zoom because I can save money over time due to the fact that I can reuse the trays over and over.
My employer provides me with Delta Dental insurance which made my work that I needed fairly affordable and reasonable for the work they did.

This is not a child-​friendly dentist at all. They have a child-​dentist there only once a week. So when trying to book an appointment you have to schedule at least a month if not 2 months ahead, when other dentists could have you in the next day. I missed one of our appts and had to book again, it ended up taking me 4 months to get him in there. The dentist handled my son well when doing work on his teeth. The lady-​dentist and the gentleman that helps her are very friendly and professional. Switched dentists still because booking appts was a headache. Also I got a quote on bonding for a chipped tooth on myself, they quoted me $ 350, I went to my now current dentist where I was charged only $ 90.

This office was referred from Dental Cal to get a second opinion on getting my sons wisdom teeth pulled. We made an appointment in January, and the office cancelled stating the Oral Surgeon will not be able to make it. So we rescheduled for February 7, 2015 at 1pm. My son and I arrived 15 minutes early we filled out the paperwork and waited. The oral surgeon confirmed that my son does need this wisdom teeth pulled. I asked them to please submit the paperwork to Dental Cal so we can get the procedure done soon, the receptionist said okay. I called February 28, 2015 and the office said yes they submitted it. He told me they have not heard from Dental Cal for me to call and push things along. I called Dental Cal and they never received a request from them. I called the office back and told them Dental Cal never received it. Dental Associates of Huntington Beach office told me they have not sent it because their office is too busy and short staffed. I asked them why they never told me that in the first place. I asked to speak to the office manager. They kept me on hold to for 10 minutes so I called back. I talked to the manager Pamela, what a rude bitch! She told me if I was not happy with the way they handled it to find another dentist. Pamela said they did submit the paperwork to Dental Cal on the February 19, 2015. I called Dental Cal today March 4, 2015 and still no paperwork was received. This Dental Office Sucks!
I filed a complaint with the Dentistry Board and decided to let the people who read the review on Unilocal to watch out for this unprofessional office and do not take their services here. RUDE, RUDE, RUDE.
I’m taking my son to another dentist hoping I will not go thru this again!
Save yourself do not go here…

I sent this to the Dental Board of California
ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS DENTAL PRACTICE!
To whom it may concern,
I would like to file a formal complaint against Dental Associates of Huntington Beach. My work provided me with an HMO dental plan, on that plan I was lead to Dental Associates. I went in on 11/​07/​2013 for a checkup and was told I needed thousands of dollars in dental work done on my teeth. One of the items being a ‘deep cleaning”. The portion I was told I had to pay out of pocket for this ‘deep cleaning” was $ 700.00. I was sat down and offered a monthly payment plan if I choose to do all services. The work was not emergency and I did not want to get into debt. I choose to do a few items at once and it seemed the start was to do this ‘deep cleaning’ I opted to only do ½ of my mouth from which the cost was $ 350.00 and I would then return to do the other ½ portion on my next paycheck. I had the ½ done on 11/​14/​2013 when I left the office I paid at time of service $ 350.00 from which was the ‘only’ work I had performed on my teeth. I then had my son who at the time was 13 seen by them and once again they said he needed a ‘deep cleaning’ and he has healthy families from which covers a lot of work but yet this would not be covered. I did NOT have this done. I had only the checkup done and called another dentist. When going to the new dentist Dr. Brian in Tustin, I was told that I in fact did not need a deep cleaning, I only needed a regular cleaning and that this was a scam. I also did not need any of the work that was offered to me by Dental Associates Of Huntington Beach. I then took my son into Dr. Brian and he also did not need any type of deep cleaning but just a regular cleaning. I see Dr. Brian on a regular basis and have had zero issues.
I am very upset as this dentist not only lied to me about the services I needed but tried to rip me off by stating I needed more work then I actually did then has the nerve to bill me for extra items once I leave their office from which I had no idea about until I stated being harassed by their collection agency. I then called them, wrote then letters and they argue that they will not remove the charges that I never authorized then to do. I have very good credit and I have never owed a dental bill in my life. I carry insurance and what the insurance does not cover I have always paid at time of services. Except for my children’s braces. This is bad practice and it is about the principle of the matter.
Please feel free to call my dentist and ask him about the health of my teeth. I want Dental Associates to resolve this matter and to remove my name from their collection agency. I do NOT owe them any money.

I made an appointment and they they cancelled me the day before my appointment So I rescheduled. Then on my 2^nd appointment they cancelled me again. Each appointment was a month apart. I understand if they need to cancel and reschedule, but to do it to me twice in a row. It’s been 2 months and I can’t get in to get my teeth clean. Going somewhere else. I don’t know if it is because I have Medi-​cal. It may or may not be related, but one month for an appointment is bad.

I’ve been coming here for a few years now… many cleanings and checkups. And I just had some recent dental work done. The staff is great… courteous and professional. They explain everything. And Dr. Omrani is fabulous. He guides you through the procedures, gives you step by step knowledge of what he’s doing, and his techniques are very smooth. If you need a dentist, this is the place you want to be.

I have visited this office on two occasions and the staff has been absolutely fantastic.
From assessing my insurance costs and being very helpful with billing to the work and professionalism I could not be any more pleased.
To top it off, they are open on Saturdays and late on Mondays if you need to come after work.
Highly recommend this office!

I liked the look of this place, it was very inviting. The waiting room was kept up very nicely and it was very clean. I too had a very good experience with the front of staff, she was very friendly and we spent a few minutes talking about our kids. And my son passed out on their couch. I made a bad decision bringing him so close to nap time! Anyways, they call him back and I have to wake my cranky bear from his nap. And he was not pleased! We went to the back for X-​rays (he told me the day before that his tooth was bothering him while eating, I looked and could see a huge cavity! Eek) so when they said he needed a root canal I understood. It’s causing my baby pain and I could clearly see it on X-​ray and with the camera they use to take pictures to show you. Good news was there were only the root canal and a cavity behind that tooth. Because the root canal started in between the teeth. And one other on the other side. But all like I said. Completely visible. My son was quite nervous and the dental assistant that helped him? Was a god send. He was so cranky and on edge (again, my fault) she explained everything to him and went slow, she even told him if he was a good boy she would give him 2 toys from the toy box. We met with the dentist next and she went over the x rays with me further, and even pointed out a tooth that my son had broken. I thought oh jeez. What are they trying to sell me?! And she said it didn’t have a cavity and she didn’t want to do anything to it until she had to. So she said to make sure he’s flossing and brushing twice a day, and we would keep an eye on it. I’ve been bad lately sending my 5 year old to brush and floss his teeth alone since having my baby 4 months ago. Thanks dental associates for the kind service. I appreciate it!

I really liked this place. Yesterday I went here for the very first time for an exam and cleaning. Everyone here was super nice and professional. The dentist I saw I wish I could remember his name but he was very attentive and explained everything he was going to do. He was even cognizant to the time restraints I had having to leave by 1 to pick up my kids from school. I’m appreciative of the services I received here and will definitely go back!

Just finished my routine check up! Always very nice staff and great doctor! Thanks to them I continue to have a healthy mouth. Always very affordable…

My 10 year old son has never had a cavity in his life but he had a toothache and I suspected a cavity. I went here to take advantage of the $ 29 cleaning and exam special. Not only did he have one cavity, they told me he had 8! I have no insurance so I’m a cash customer. $ 29 cleaning + 260 per tooth x 2 teeth I was filling on the spot minus an $ 80 cash discount = $ 480. Does this sound right? Almost $ 500? I was an idiot and paid it because I knew my kid was in pain with the two that were filled but I’m pretty sure I got ripped off. To add insult to injury I write this review and see a groupon that would have saved me quite a bit of money that wasn’t even mentioned to me? I requested copies of his x-​rays and I’m getting a second opinion. Do yourself a favor and avoid this establishment. They are dishonest and I feel violated.

I normally don’t write reviews but this place has forced me to pen down my thoughts for the sake of others.
I took my dad to this place. First of off it started off with a RUDE front desk receptionist who didn’t bother to help or answer any questions. Since my dad didn’t have insurance I was pretty much treated as if I was getting it as a charity
The dentist went over the treatment briefly and didn’t bother even looking at my dad to answer his questions. I understand language barrier is one thing but there is such thing as Common courtesy. HOW RUDE !!!
The lady who took 2 X rays was polite and professional.
The minute I walked in I had this bad vibe… and the receptionist and the dentist gave me THAT LOOK…
They quoted extremely high dollar amount for tooth extraction and denture.
PLEASE …save your valuable time and DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE…
You will not be treated with respect

What an amazing experience I had with these dentists, I caught a special offer for cleaning (thanks Linda) and decided to try it out. First let me say I made an appointment with Eva at 10am and I didn’t wait 60 seconds and they alreay called my name. Now that’s the way it’s done, so courteous and polite the female dentist was and they mentioned special deals for my kids, they got it all here. Oh my goodness, and when I was leaving the staff was reassuring and respectful. And this place looks like someone’s well cleaned living room. i wanted to kick my feet up and watch some tv. Anyhow, it was an amazing time at the dentist, who can make that claim, anyone who comes here, that’s who. So I was checking the pictures and that staff picture is so nice, everyone there so great!

I never have cavities when I go to others dentists. The two times of been to Dental Assoc of H.B. they’ve recommend thousands of dollars worth of work. They are a scam and will drill on your teeth even if you don’t need it. Please save your teeth and your money and go to an honest dentist.

I absolutely hate going to the dentist. But now I can handle it. The staff and doctor at this office are incredible.
