Friendly service from everyone in the office. Thorough evaluation of my gums and teeth. I've been getting fairly regular dental exams. Just recently started going to his office. Learned more about my teeth and dental health yesterday than in all my years of visiting other dentists. Highly recommended!View on Google

Dr. Irvani gave me a second opinion consultation regarding Invisilign, tooth alignment, for my teeth. I was concerned that it might not be the best choice for me as I have receding gums. He examined my teeth and gums and then gave me his professional opinion. I trust him as I was a patient at one time and I have a neighbor who has been a patient of his for years who thinks highly of him. The consultation was without cost to me. I can now make my decision confidently regarding Invisilign. Thank you Dr. Irvani!View on Google

The staff and Dr. Irvani are amazing. I am 39 years old and ever since I was an adult and started going to dentist on my own I had yet to find a good dentist until I found Irvani about 5 years ago. I wish I had known about him 20 years ago. But, in the 5 years he and his staff have been wonderful. They provide what is needed for your oral hygiene and only what is needed. When something is done whether a cavity or a crown it is done right, professionally, and efficiently. I highly recommend Dr. Irvani.View on Google

I am very happy with Dr. Irvani and his staff. He performed a very challenging implant for me on a small front, lower tooth about 5 years ago, and it looks excellent. I have since come here for all of my routine cleanings and checkups as well and have always had great experiences... As great as dental experiences can be, anyhow.View on Google

For over 2 decades Dr.A has been our family oral caretaker. Outstanding in all aspects, and I might add he just might be the kindest man I ever met. Those without his services should line up and get an appointment. You will win. Thanks Aria.View on Google
