We came to AAVA Dental in Riverside after seeing their booth at UPS, but the experience was horrible. The dentist pushed my daughter to have her wisdom teeth removed. On the day of the appointment with the specialist, he canceled just 15 minutes before the appointment. So unprofessional and inconsiderate of patients' busy schedules. Later, we found out he wasn't even within our network, despite the staff being asked to confirm before our appointment. In general, dentists do not provide a thorough review after working on the kids. They never talk to parents about findings or the cleaning overview. They just do the cleaning and send the kids down to the waiting room. They also randomly changed appointment dates & time, giving weak excuses. However, when we tried to cancel my daughter's regular cleaning appointment 24 hours in advance, after she had her wisdom teeth removed by another dentist, they had the audacity to try to charge $86 for the cancellation. After I pushed back, they waived it, knowing they were in the wrong. They really should cater to UPS Teamsters, who are their bread and butter. Overall, their staff, including dentists, are unprofessional, uninformed, and cannot handle patients with excellent insurance. They would rather deal with only Medi-Cal patients. We took our business elsewhere. We are never coming back! read more

Not only dental in general charges so much BUT I came here super nice and friendly and all the WORKERS are rude and just want $$$ they don't care what you're going through or if pain. No money no service read more

Worst dentist I've been to, my fault for trying a new dentist but got a promo and see it regret it. They keep adding charges . And they'll blow up your phone in the middle of the day if you can come in to appointment last minute to squeeze you in. Would not recommend if you unless you want a headache read more

I had a procedure done with Dr. Saifee and he was amazing! He goes above and beyond for his patients and was very caring. 1000% recommended him and Aava Dental! read more

Had an appointment with Aava dental Riverside,and wow, what an amazing experience. The staff, quality of work, and my procedures being done exceeded my expectations. They were kind, and explained what they were doing, and showing what was being done. I proudly recommend them!! read more

As always, staff is really friendly and professional. I always feel positive about my oral health after each visit.

Complete X-rays and exam. Very professional. Very nice . Showed me actual photos of my teeth so I could see what Dr Doca was talking about. Amanda spent a lot of time with me to help figure out a treatment plan. read more

Love Grace, always is fast and wonderful with my braces, she's always light hearted and funny. If you're lucky enough to be paired with her you'll have a good time. read more

Found this dentist through the Teamsters 1932 union I'm a part of. Went to this dentist office to get a general cleaning and to get a consultation about getting my wisdom teeth removed. As I'm filling out the paperwork, I get to the page about the arbitration agreement where it clearly states that you do not have to sign the agreement to receive dental services. I didn't sign it & I took it out of the packet. Then the receptionist said that particular office doesn't offer dental services unless you sign the agreement. She was condescending and felt that she needed to explain arbitration. I was denied dental services. Wow. read more

Great visit. My first time here, they were very accommodating, friendly, welcoming and provided great feedback. They even have these awesome massage chairs if you need to stay a little longer between services. read more

My family and I have been going here for a year or so as we moved close in 2019. I will always love the staff here, they are so great with kids and I have personally never had issues. I came from western dental where they poorly fixed a cavity and I ended up with another cavity under it. The dentist did amazing to make sure I was comfortable. He talked through everything with me and very thoroughly explained everything with before and after pictures. I love it and will never stop coming to this office. read more

Super friendly staff very welcoming and the service was amazing. I would recommend Aava Dental to anybody looking for a new dentist.

I came into this place for a cleaning and had a very pleasant experience. The hygienist Sarah was super friendly and did an amazing job! I will be back for my next cleaning. Great experience!!! read more

Aava dental is awesome from the very friendly staff to the best dentist who always makes me feel comfortable with his awesome personality and humor!!! It's just a great environment!!! They do such a great job and I definitely would recommend anyone to there office!!! read more

Always an awesome experience here. The people are top-notch, very professional and super nice.

One of the best dental offices I have been to. They were so polite and professional. The office staff made sure i felt comfortable. Entering those doors you feel welcomed. The dentist was one of the most personable dentist I have ever met. Growing up we all have this fear of going to the dentist. Let me tell you there is nothing to fear here. The dentist and his assistant made sure I was comfortable and felt nothing. They truly made the experience so amazing. I cannot thank you guys enough. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Be wary of this place. My husband saw 5 star reviews on Yelp when we were looking for a dentist. After two visits, the office promised $50 off of a dental procedure for a positive review. I was talked into procedures I didn't necessarily need and when the dentist placed a crown in, he didn't do it correctly because cold water was excruciatingly painful. I went back to him and he wouldn't fix it. He kept looking at the x-rays and said it was correct. I had to go to another dentist to have it removed because this one wouldn't take responsibility. The new dentist said to save my money because I didn't need this crown since it was the last tooth in the back and it wouldn't be needed to chew. Aava Dental called us a handful of times after for cleanings and such. No thanks. The office is 5 mins from my house but I drive 40 mins to the new dentist office. That says a lot. As with any overly positive (or negative) review, get informed why they got those stars. A lot of Yelp reviews are not sincere. They are purchased stars. I was a patient a long time ago and made the 5 star review prior to that crown being placed and for the $50 discount. I just stumbled on my posted review and had to edit it. With all the unnecessary pain and out of pocket costs, I wouldn't give any stars if that were an option. read more

Worst service no follow up with appointments I was told my appointment would have to be changed to another date because they couldn't fill the day with other appointments to get the MD doctor to come out that day I also called prior to appointment date to ask a question the receptionist said no manager was in till following day I was told I would get a call back that never happened either read more

All that I can say is that this place is amazing. It is spotless clean and comfortable. The ambiance is relaxing. From A to Z, Jenika made things simple. She and Amanda made the process transparent and easy. I'm especially grateful for Dr. Doca. He explained everything in detail and had such a light hand - I almost fell asleep in the chair. You can just tell by the staff attitudes that these people love what they do - and they are good at it! Why anyone would go anywhere else is beyond me. I highly recommend Aava Dental in Riverside. read more

First time there and i loved it. Every one was so nice and welcoming. Amanda was on top of everything for me. Doctor D was amazing and made my visit painless. I will definitely go back and recommend them to my friends and family. read more

I'll start off with saying, I use to hate my smile. I was very insecure about it for a long time and never wanted to show my teeth. Along with it being very frustrating that other orthodontist would try and rip us off. Finally finding Aava Dental they worked with me and helped so much with insurance and everything. My orthodontist was the best, he was very kind and became of him and the women I'm so happy with my smile. Everyone at Aava Dental is amazing! I love going to the dentist because of everyone there with the help and care they give. Thank you to everyone! read more

I have been coming here for the last couple of years. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. Sarah is a wonderful hygeniest who truly cares about her patients dental care. It's a drive for me, but I've gone other places close to home and after the care and services I have received at Aava DentaI I can't see myself going to any other dental office. read more

Used Aava Dental several years ago. Staff is nice, but they aren't trained correctly. Both the filling they did and the crown have failed in a matter of a few years. I have fillings that have lasted over a decade, but there's didn't last a few years. Upon xrays by a more qualified dentist, they determined the surface for the crown is not consistent and it led to some tooth decay where the crown meets the tooth. In addition, they decided to wait 10 months to try billing my insurance and let their contract with my insurance lapse. This created more headaches since now my insurance paid me their contributions and I had to them take that money to Aava. Overall poor management here and I don't think they're hiring the best of class when it comes to their staff. Sure you'll save some money, but is saving any money worth it if you have to spend even more to fix there mistakes? Stay away from Aava. read more

Had my first visit to Aava dental yesterday and I'm very impressed. I hadn't been to a dentist in a while due to covid so was overdue to get a checkup. The entire staff was very professional and nice and I was able to get xrays, a checkup, several fillings, and even a cleaning all in one visit instead of having to schedule several follow ups. I will be going back for regular cleanings (hopefully no more fillings!) and highly recommend this dentist to anyone looking for an up to date dental office that will take care of everything for you - I even got to sit in a massage chair after my dentist visit while I waited for the dental hygienist to do my cleaning! The whole staff gets 5+ stars! Thank you all!! read more

I recently moved to the city of Moreno Valley and I started looking for a good dental office, I came across aava dental and I couldn't be more satisfied.

I will be coming back soon.. read more

Amanda was simply amazing! I haven't been to a dentist in a very long time and she explained everything they were doing. Very fun and attentive staff. Definitely coming back for the rest of Dental work. read more

If you're thinking of coming to this dentist to have any work done save your money and go somewhere else!! The staff is super nice but the one who ruins this place and the reason why I'll never go back for any work is the office manager AMANDA. She hides a lot of stuff so you're going to have to pay for treatments you didn't know you would have to pay for. She's very nice when people are around and when she's by herself she's so rude!! If you are unhappy with anything you get done record every conversation you have with her because she will lie and tell you one thing then turn around and say something else. DO NOT COME HERE! read more

Have been a customer for about 2 years or so and use Aava for all my families dental needs from preventive to ortho. Very friendly staff and resonable prices. I just got braces a 2nd time (1st was as a teen) and it was a very smooth process and I absolutely love my clear braces! Thank you Aava Dental!! read more

From the first time I called to our first visit has been a great experience. Kiana is great with handling all appointments and accommodations. She's very attentive even when she is busy. Our first visit to Aava Dental today was awesome. From the beginning to the end of our visit today we were very well attended. Cheli is very professional and kind. She gently took our x-rays which my daughter truly loved. She is 4 and not the biggest fan of them. Thank you for taking your time with her. Although Heisel was very busy she still took the time to stop and check on me. Thank you for that. The Hygienist Sarah is great and truly an expert. She was very gentle and precise today. My daughter and I had a great cleaning experience with her. Dr. Doca is awesome he did a great job with my dental work and constantly checked to make sure that I was fine. He also reassured me to let him know of any discomfort at anytime. Truly appreciated. The office manager Amanda is very sweet, professional and made the financial part of it all very easy. Thank you! She also recognized the status of us being a part of a union. Thank you Dr. Doca and staff for a great experience. read more
