Ebrahimian Integrative Dentistry

We took our 10 year old son to see Dr. Ariana when we decided to start looking into whether braces would be the solution to his bite problems. We couldn’t be more happy with the decision to have a consultation with Dr. Ariana. Since then our son has begun the process of realigning his jaw and bite using orthotropics. We appreciate the care and attention that Dr. Ariana puts on the breathing and health concerns that come with sleep apnea. When our son was younger he had severe sleep apnea and we wanted to make sure that as we moved forward with addressing his bite that his airway was taken into consideration.
Our son started the orthotropic process in late July and we are already seeing an improvement in his jawline as well as his bite. I am so glad that we were able to find a solution that didn’t require surgery or cause future airway issues.

I was a patient of Dr Max Ebrahimian from Dec 2012 to Dec 2014. The treatment I received was unnecessary, dangerous, and unprofessional. I got 10 other opinions from other dentists and they all said, the damage I received from Dr Max Ebrahimian treatment should be reversed as soon as possible. He charged 3 to 5 times what another dentist would have charged for the equivalent treatment. And he Fraudulently presented himself as a orthodontic dentist. He does not have the training nor experience of a orthodontic dentist. He advertises nightly on channel 8 television. BUYER BEWARE.
A lawsuit for FRAUD has been filed with the Santa Cruz Superior Court.

I’ll start by saying I hate going to the dentist but my wife loves the dentist. She had been going through a few with mixed results and I recommended Dr. Ebrahimian. I had been there for my 10 year check up (sadly, I’m not kidding). My wife loved them! Now she’s a regular and all our kids go there too. They have the latest tools and practices and I don’t think you could find nicer people. We love Tina, Max, Ariana and everyone else at their office.

Need someone for your child and your whole family? The Ebrahimian’s get my highest recommendation! We were unhappy with our pediatric dentist and were looking for someone new. Our first son had 9 cavities by 2 ½ years due to night breastfeeding (despite brushing) and the only alternative we had been given was general anesthesia to get the dental work done.
When our second son started showing signs of cavities (despite more extensive care to avoid cavities), we were afraid we would have to go down that road again, which was heartbreaking. First, Tina is one of the most charming women you will ever meet. We feel like we’re part of the family whenever we walk in the office. And Dr. Ariana took care of our kids so elegantly. She diagnosed the 7 cavities and suggested we try doing it in the chair with local anesthesia, just a few teeth at a time. Our 2 ½ year old son sat in the chair, while we were able to be right there with him, and he hardly winced with the anesthesia shot! Every visit goes so smoothly.
Not only have my children had a fantastic experience with them… no fear, no hesitation, no trauma, Dr. Ariana was the first one to suggest that I might have sleep apnea. In the 35+ years that I have been complaining about being tired, not one doctor or practitioner considered that this might be an issue. I got tested and it was confirmed I have moderate sleep apnea. I’m being treated now and I feel completely different every day.
I wish we would have found them sooner!

These dentists are the nicest, most competent and have the most organized office you could possibly ever find. Not only is their dental work great, but their use of technology to make sure you are aware of upcoming appointments is terrific. You even get an email the morning of your appointment reminding you to come on in. I appreciate everything about this dental practice. Tina keeps it moving along smoothly.

Truly outstanding dentistry. I’ve been a patient of both Dr. Max and Dr. Ariana and they are both fabulous, I think they are the best dentists I’ve had in my nearly sixty years of going to the dentist at least annually. They are careful, comprehensive, and absolutely up-​to-​date on their science, craft and technology. When I needed a crown, Dr. Ariana was great, and the crown was milled on premises and carefully fitted, ground and polished until my bite was just right — no need to have a temporary and then come back. When I needed my first root canal, I was referred out to one of their great colleagues, Dr. Tanya Machnich, who did a great job.
And while their cosmetics are great, I am most impressed with their emphasis on functionality, especially for preserving one’s airway capacity. Some people have sleep apnea or have had orthodontics which have impeded their airway for the sake of the cosmetics of their teeth and smile. And as you might imagine, not enough air with each breath can have far reaching consequences for one’s overall health level.
A sleep study can be upwards of $ 2000 a night and you have to sleep away from home, wired up and observed. Dr. Ariana was able to provide me with a watch-​like device that allowed me to do my own at-​home mini sleep study from which I learned that while I do have some sleep apnea, it is only mild, something to be watched. When my brother-​in-​law from Texas was visiting, he consulted with Dr. Max regarding his severe sleep apnea — he’s been through several different types of C-​Pap machine and was still hardly getting any sleep. Dr. Max referred him to Dr. Larry Wolford who performed a lengthy and comprehensive surgery on him with excellent results. My brother-​in-​law had suffered with this problem for many years, and with Dr. Max’s help found a solution. My brother-​in-​law has told me that he believes the surgery saved his life.

The first time I went to Dr. Max, he said «There’s a lot of dentistry in your mouth.» Yes, indeed there is, and because I am a dental neurotic, every bit of it has caused me misery and fear. But there is no fear with Dr. Max and his office. They are kind — the hygienist is *so* careful and gentle — Dr. Max is conservative, which I truly appreciate, and the experience is as good as it can be. I had a terrible problem that required me to see a periodontist, and they recommended someone (Dr. Cyrus Mozayan) who if anything, is gentler and kinder than they are. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of a dentist in the Santa Cruz area.

I am a high anxiety dental patient, and I must share that this is a clean, calm and organized office. They are friendly, concerned, knowledgeable and seem to run on-​time. I appreciate that they respect the patient’s time, and do not seem to overbook. They never rush through appointments, and when I have had serious procedures I have gotten a personal follow up call. They are simply the best and I would recommend them to anyone.

After doing a lot of research on dentists for my son, I felt that Dr. Ebrahimian would be someone who could help my son with his dental issues. I was also prepared to drive to Scott’s Valley where they are located from Los Angeles. I called and talked to Dr. Ebrahimian’s wife Tina (who was sooo kind, thoughtful and understanding) and was told that I could send photos of my son’s mouth and that she would have Dr. Ebrahimian look at them first. To me this was impressive because now a days people don’t seem to care about what other people have to go through. Dr. Ebrahimian did call me back and was extremely helpful, patient, kind and genuine. He spent a lot of time discussing and advising on my son’s dental issues with me. Although, he did not feel he would be able to help with my son’s dental issues, he is a breath of fresh air for his honesty. He could’ve made money and promises, but was very helpful instead, for that I thank Dr. Ebrahimian and his wife Tina. They are very knowledgeable and saved me a lot of time and money. They conducted themselves with integrity and honesty (a rare quality now days) that I truly appreciate. I would absolutely trust them for dental care and feel they will steer anyone in the right direction!!!

I couldn’t quite believe that I was entering a dentist’s office when I had my first appointment. It was so comforting, the staff are like family (well actually they are family). Father/​daughter team, mom is the office manager and the sister is in dental school. Their initials, literally form T.E.A.M. But everyone else on staff was amazing as well. And I had the most thorough and informative visit, it made me lament about all the other dentists I’ve visited in the past and their recommendations. Dr. Ariana also hosts an interview series called The Healthy Child Show. If you are looking for dentists who really care about their patients, keep abreast of the latest treatments and understand how the teeth, jaws, all the muscles in the head and neck relate to body has a whole, I highly recommend them.

Having dental care at Ebrahimian Integrative Dentistry is as close to a pleasure as you can get when going to the dentist. Let’s face it, few people really look forward to a dental visit, But the staff @ Ebrahimian Dentistry make it a quick, painless, and a sometimes fun experience. And the beautiful smile of Ariana always makes me smile.

I have spent more time in the dentist chair than anyone ever should. I never new the dentist could be comfortable and relaxing. It starts as soon as you walk in the door and you are greeted with a smile from the receptonist, who happens to be Dr. Ebrahimian’s wife. I was then offered water coffee and a very comfortable chair in the waiting room. It’s hard for me to call it a waiting room it feels more like my living room. Photos of past patients, and of Dr. Max’s family. They say first impressions are everything and after that first impression I was forever changed. Professionally I work for the Four Seasons, which everyone associates with five star service. Dr. Ebrahimian is the Four Seasons of dentist. I can’t call the people that work in his office a staff, I call them family.
When it comes to dental technology Dr. Max is unsurpassed. After the firs visit Dr. Max was able to calculate what it would take to correct my bite and improve my smile. I live in Hawaii and have always been on the lookout for a good dentist, on the islands there isn’t to much to chose from. I gladly flew to California to see Dr. Max and have never been more happy with my teeth in all my life. People have asked why I was seeing a dentist in California when I live in Hawaii, and when I show them my Teeth they understand. I would never recommend any other dentist ever. I could go on all day with specific examples why Dr. Ebrahimian is the best dentist, but I strongly suggest you see for yourself. Words just don’t describe the experience you have when your with Dr. Max and his family.

Dr. Max has been my dentist for over 30 years. Max, Tina and Ariana are a great combination, as well as the rest of the staff. Both Max and Ariana are constantly taking continueing education courses to stay on top of the latest dental procedures. Highly recommend.
