OMG! This place is absolutely amazing, Dr. Shirani is a Gem-as is he staff. From the receptionist to the dental hygienist they are all very friendly,professional and helpful. They are also a bunch of very attractive ladies that do their jobs well to. Shirani's experience and expertise in the dental field is unmatched in my opinion, my family and I have been going to him for years and have never been left in pain. Over the past 10 yrs I have been to several dentist in the Antioch area, who have done to say the least mediocre work that Der. Shirani has corrected. Not only corrected but never ever throwing the other dentist under the bus. His other absolutely Gorgeous dentist, whom name evades me "sorry" is a tru- BOSS!!! She so sweet and gentle as Shirani, and always a pleasure to see and speak with. The manner in which the team is managed definitely reflects in how they treat us the patients . So thank you Dr.s. I definitely recommend this establishment. Thank all of you for being you. You all are absolutely awesome. read more

I moved to Antioch in 2018. My husband had a dental emergency and Dr. Shirani took us in as new patients. I have loved coming here ever since. I don't have anything negative to say and just want to thank Dr. Shirani and his team for keeping our teeth healthy. Blessed day! read more

I have to say Dr. Sherani is one of the nicest Dentists I know, how he's always shown so much care & concern for doing an outstanding job on my teeth. and his office staff were top notch always pleasant to deal with! Had him for over 35 years and always had great success!

Thank you Dr. Shirani for the years of quality service you gave to us. Steven J. Jestadt , wife Yolanda, & my son, Michael. read more

I waited till I have been at this dental office for a couple of years to write a review. Lets start off with everyone is so friendly and professional especially Dr. Shirani! My kids love him and get excited to go see him. My daughters teeth were coming in crooked and Dr. Shirani suggested pulling out some baby teeth that should have fell out on there own but hadn't yet. He pulled the baby teeth out and her adult teeth came in and her teeth straightened up. So, thankful to him for that since her previous dentist didn't suggest that. I have had braces in the past and still had gaps between two of my front teeth he was able to correct that without braces or Invisalign. So, now I love him. I am 50 yrs old and been to a lot of different dentist and he is the best!!!! read more

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Shirani since he took over the practice from Dr. Hurd, just about 30 years. He has been a very kind and considerate dentist and always ensured that we were comfortable and happy. He greets you like a friend and we consider him to be so as well as our dentist. The staff are also very friendly and helpful and it has been a pleasure all these years. The quality of Dr. Shirani's work is exceptional and he always went out of his way to make our visits as enjoyable as going to the dentist can be. We will miss him and everyone else at the office as we are relocating. read more

This is a nice place to go was upset because they where going to charge me 100.00 for a appointment that I missed because a coworker could not cover my shift, so I had to cancel my appointment less than 24 hours in advance. This is a great place to go. read more

I've been weary of dentists, especially having had braces on three separate occasions. I've been to dentists in NY, San Leandro, Antioch, and now here. I will say, Dr. Shirani is the best. He takes the time to reach out to his patients himself after and before procedures and tries to problem-solve and plan with you ensuring you understand what's happening every step of the way. I trust him to make do what's best for me and not just what benefits his practice. A true gem in the industry! So happy to have found him. read more

Dr. Shirani is amazing! very personable, gentle, thorough and kind with just as great team supporting him. I've been searching for five years for an awesome gentle dentist and from a childhood friend I found him. My teeth have been seriously neglected because of so many poor dentists I've tried in the last decade. I had an emergency from a broken tooth and an abscess in another. When I called yesterday as a first time patient I actually got to speak with this friendly professional on the phone first. When I went in the office he treated me at the door first to introduce himself and it made me so comfortable and relaxed immediately. I knew immediately he was an epic find. I've never had such a comfortable experience at a diagnostic appointment. He got me in the next morning with the best diagnostic equipment. When he found out the emergency I was in he referred me to an amazing endontic Dentist that got me in the same afternoon where I received two root canals painlessly and fast. Dr. Shirani didn't judge my neglect. We came up with a treatment plan together (teamwork) and I should have my badly neglected teeth back in 8 weeks including 4 crowns. He's a kind, genuine, caring professional. If I could give 10 stars I would. His team is just as friendly and caring. Comfortable office. Top notch and fast work, but not rushed and a very experienced Dentist so less time in the chair! I was so comfortable that my fear and anxiety of getting so much dental work was gone. He didn't judge. He only wants to genuinely help. And very Covid safe in the whole experience. read more

similar to another yelp review I see. I was initially pleased with the dentist, untill I called to schedule a follow-up dental appointment and was shockingly told we had a collection. If we had been notified about a balance it would have been paid. I have stellar benefits and wouldn't have had an issue covering a balance. when I tried explaining the miscommunication to Ali Shirani who should be the professional, he was incredibly rude and lied about communication of the balance. My husband and I were wronged by this office. They are not ethical and should be investigated on discrimination to their patients. read more

I wish I switched to them sooner! The best Dental office in the bay. The office is run very smoothly and efficiently! The professionalism and friendliness of the whole team is outstanding. I've been going with them for a complicated process and my schedule is always changing due to my line of work but they manage to help squeeze me in every time. Every visit is like visiting friends. Dr. Shirani's chairside manners are so kind, you can tell he has a heart of gold for his patients, he makes you feel like family! I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much, Dr. Shirani, and his team, for always taking care of me!!!! I love this office!!! read more

I just left the office after two resin fillings on my front teeth and I am the happiest I have ever been. Dr. Helaire is just amazing. Besides the best bedside manner I have ever had she is a perfectionist (which all dentist should be). I have always felt insecure about my Front teeth due to lack of enamel and as you can see they turned out so great. Thank you to Brittnay the dental assistant as well for being so kind and constantly checking on me. I have been to several dentist and I can say this is on the very top of best experiences. All the ladies in this office are very kind and patient. Thanks again! read more

Ali Shirani, DDS - My after photos...not veneers just resin too filling. Just amazing!! Thank you Dr. Helaire - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Antioch, California

The worst experience I've ever had at a dental office in my life! If you're looking to waste your time and be manipulated into paying for unnecessary things, look no further. I showed up on time for my appointment and when I went to check in the receptionist was on her phone and seemed bothered that I had interrupted whatever she was so engrossed in. Now I understand why after filling out my new client paperwork I never received a call to book my appointment, despite being assured that the office staff would reach out once my paperwork had been completed. She clearly had more important things to do besides her job. I wish I had never reached back out and I probably would have never heard from this shoddy business again. After sitting in the waiting room for 15 minutes I was finally greeted briefly by Dr. Shirani and taken for x-rays... but the fake politeness didn't fool me for a second. I should have trusted my gut and walked out. After x-rays and fancy photos were taken of my teeth, they proceeded to leave me sitting in a room for another 15 minutes... 50 minutes for some x-rays?! Some people have jobs to get back to... utter disrespect for my time. Why even schedule an appointment? I asked to reschedule the cleaning because I needed to get back to work. I was met with unnecessary hostility and Dr. Shirani's true colors were shown. He conducted a shoddy "exam" where I was told I needed to be fitted for a mouth guard because I was grinding my teeth since my incisors weren't pointy enough. Excuse me? I've never been told that by any dentist my entire life and now suddenly I grind my teeth? No sir! Your fancy photos didn't dupe me. I saw right through the facade. Dr. Shirani couldn't find anything wrong with my teeth to charge me for out-of-pocket expenses, and voila, he suggested a mouth guard that I would have to pay hundreds for out of pocket. Beware! This place preys on people, their naivety, and their pocket books. I would give zero stars if I could! read more

I was recommended to Dr. Shirani by a coworker after being in the area for about a year. I can't thank them or Dr. Shirani enough. Never have I had a dentist who was more concerned about my own dental health, and I honestly really liked my last one. With the amount of care and attention received directly by Dr. Shirani himself, you would think you were his only patient. It's kind of crazy, but definitely in a good way. I've been going here for about a year now, and him, his office, and his staff are all fantastic. Highly recommend going here. read more

Thank you Dr Ali!! I can't express how thankful I'm am for your loving and caring personality and the passion you have for taking care of your patience Richie did great today and thanks for helping him out with his cavity will see you and all the girls on our next visit Richie said hi and happy Easter read more

I'm a huge coward when it comes to dentists and thanks to Covid I'd not been in to see one for well over a year. I broke tooth after hours on a Friday, isn't that the way it always goes? But I called and left a message not expecting to hear anything until the following Monday. Imagine my happy surprize to have a call on Saturday from Dr. Shirani himself promising that they would schedule an appointment for Monday. So I went in and was treated so kindly and patiently by both Dr. Shirani and his staff. read more

As a person who does not impress easily and is extremely protective of my children, I can whole heartedly say that Dr. Ali Shirani DDS is truly a phenom in the field of dentistry. His knowledge is unparalleled, his bedside manner with my children is unheard of in today's very fast paced, insurance driven society. He takes the time to connect with both my children and myself to the point where I am 100% confident, relaxed and trusting in his abilities as a dentist and his office is always clean and sterile. Dr. Shirani DDS even takes the time to call and follow up on his patients after even simple procedures to ensure the health and well being of his patients. He is an excellent listener to both his adolescent and adult patients and I am relieved to have finally found our forever dentist. The front office is equally as proficient, knowledgeable, caring, patient and efficient. They always have a positive demeanor, treat each and every person with respect and dignity, even those elderly patients that I have seen walk into their office. Their billing policies are transparent and they take the time to explain any question you may have about insurance, policies and procedures. There are far and few dental practices like this still in existence and I am ever grateful for having been referred to this exemplary dental practice. Dr. Shirani DDS and team, it is an absolute pleasure for our family to be patients in your practice. read more

Best dentist ever. I'm a chicken but never when I visit Dr. Shirani!I have never experienced any pain. He always explains what he's doing. Which is so impressive! read more

I am sorry that I have to write this review as a negative one, because I wanted this relationships between me and this dentist to work out, I have had many dentist in my 72 years some making mistakes here and there, but I was always was willing to let them fix the problem, work it out, however this time it crosses the line, losing my confidence. He filled a deep cavity on my front tooth that fell out after a month or so, after me swallowing parts of it causing scratching, I texted him for an appointment to get it fixed, and was given a time of Friday 2:30, then the dentist called the next day to change the time to 3:30 on friday, I said Ok. When I get there on time, a worker comes out and told me that the office closes at 3:00 on Friday!, and the dentist had already left the office, then the dentist came the out of the back! to telling me that I had missed my appointment at 2:30 and must reschedule, because he said 2:30. Well, when I played on my phone a recording of his voice telling me that the time was changed to 3:30 he admitted that it was his mistake, however I must still get another appointment, next tuesday, was the earliest date, the time it took him to give me another appointment he could have fixed my tooth!! already! Looking for another dentist. read more

Everyone here is super friendly. From the office managers, To the dental hygienists and of course the dentist. They have an appointment system set up where they text you the days leading up to your appointment which is very helpful! Dr Shirani has been at it for decades and it's evident by the quality of his work and his superb customer service. He has a great attitude and he's very sincere. He's one of the best dentists in the state. The only downside is your appointments might be far apart because his skills are in such high demand. Today he filled a couple cavities and repaired a cracked tooth.. I'm looking forward to getting a crown in December. I feel it's worth the wait to have the work done by an experienced dentist I can trust. Thanks Dr Shirani read more

I have been going to Dr. Shirani for a couple of years now and I could not be more impressed with Everyone who works there. I have been going for routine cleanings and just yesterday I was in for cracked filling / cavity issue. I have always felt uneasy about going to the dentist for anything other than cleanings. I told the Hygienist that I was nervous, and she was super cool and eased my worries. Dr. Helaire got to work and I didn't feel a thing. Dr. Helaire is very professional, and I can't speak more highly of her. Then there is Dr. Shirani... I know I only see him a few times a year but It feels like seeing a family member every time I see him (The kind you look forward to seeing). This office is one of, if not the Best in the Bay Area. I Highly recommend going there for all of your dental needs! read more

I switched dentist offices about a year and a half ago. I had been seeing my previous dentist all my adult life. I continued to support that African American establishment, because I wanted to support my own and also due to the fact I was familiar with him. I took a leap of faith seeing Dr Shirani as my mom referred me. It has been one of the best decisions I've made. He is very professional and accommodating to my very hectic schedule. I've had several dental issues lately; however, each and every time he makes sure that I'm completely comfortable and taken care of. I will continue to patronize this establishment. I have even since referred my daughter. read more

I would recommend Dr. Shirani to ANYONE living in the tri- city area. Dr. Shirani is warm and welcoming, and his office staff is no different. There's no guess work in any of his services, and is very thorough in explaining every procedure. I'm really lucky to have him as our family dentist. I don't give reviews as often as I should, but this really needs to be said. If you happen to make an appointment, you won't regret it...... and please tell him the Crossley's said hi read more

Nobody loves going to the dentist LOL but I must admit that I look forward to going to mine every time I go! The entire staff goes above and beyond for everyone. All the time. I am sorry but I must respond to another yelp review leaving a bad review for this Dentist. First of all, u didn't need to write a novel to get ur point across. Lmao we didn't need to know how many cavities u had, and on which teeth. U don't like this dentist then ok. Everyone has their opinion. Just saying, you kinda over did it, and look a little desperate to talk to someone who is willing to lend an ear. I do however hope ur new dentist is great also and u found one to fit u. But dr Shirani, lol would never overcharge. He is like the ONLY dentist around here to volunteer their time and give FREE dental care to those less fortunate. AND, not sure their trick, but this is the only place that I have ever been, that you literally do not feel the shot to get numb! He has actually done cavities without even numbing my kids before. It's pretty cool that there's a dentist that both Kids and Parents can go to together, because a lot of other dentists, often only do children. It's nice that the whole family can stay at one dental office, especially one so kind as Dr. Shirani's office. Peoples words can make or break someone's day. His staff always makes us smile, (and their prize box is totally awesome!!!!) Highly highly recommend his office! I'd give 100 stars if I could!! Happy holidays dr Shirani and staff! read more

This review is long overdue about 5 years...found Dr. Ali through reviews for my spouse who had just gone to another dentist in Brentwood that totally screwed up her teeth. My spouse was extremely scared & hesitant to go to another dentist to have the $6000 work that was just done fixed; but sooooo glad we found and started seeing dr. Ali. My spouse got the screwed up work fixed it was just beautiful and didn't break the bank to fix also appreciated. She continued going to dr. Ali and because of his & his staffs professionalism, exceptional customer service and the fact you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients, I decided to start seeing him for my own dental needs; which I hadn't seen a dentist in 10 years at the time since exiting the military. I hated going to the dentist in that I am a patient who it takes numerous injections to even start to feel numb if I even get numb. That can be extremely frustrating to a patient & a dentist; however Dr. Ali was patient and understanding, not once showing any frustration towards me or the fact it's almost impossible to get me numb. Due to his determination to help me We have since found a solution that has been working if I need to get numb for any dental needs; so grateful. If I thought he was awesome with us adults; he is even better when working with kids. He was so kind and sweet and explained every step using pictures and analogies kids understand to explain the work my 4 year old was getting done. Overall awesome dental office, staff & dentist; they are knowledgeable, compassionate, & the work is definitely quality work; highly recommended Dr. Ali and his dentist office for any dental needs you may have!! read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Shirani for years. I have always been afraid of the dentist since I was a little kid due to a very bad experience. He made me feel at ease right away and I have never had a problem since. I also have 3 children 16 years, 7 years and 4 years old. They absolutely LOVE going to see Dr. Shirani!! Just a few days ago my 4 year old and I had our cleaning appointments. He got to hang out with the lovely ladies at the front desk while I got my x-rays and this time wanted to go by himself to the room for his cleaning. When kids are excited for dental appointments, that says a lot about the dentist and his staff. I recommend all my friends, family and co-workers to his office and now most the people I know go to Dr. Shirani. None of them have ever had a bad thing to say. Keep up the amazing work Dr. Shirani and Staff!!!!! read more

I was referred to Dr. Sharani's Dentistry early 2017 with a TRAUMATIC dental background from the age of 7 yrs old. In the pass I was strapped down and given laughing gas as my tooth was extracted feeling every bit of the excruciating pain!!! Since then my dental experiences had overwhelmed me with a great deal of anxiety that is until, I became a patient of Dr. Sharani's. At the time of my first initial appointment set up, he called me himself!!! He fit me in and has had a great deal of concern for my family and I as patients ever since (my 20yr old daughter, 13yr old son and 3yr old daughter). I no longer suffer from the trauma that stagnated me in the pass, I'm actually excited anticipating each visit, imagine that!! Dr. Sharani and his amazing staff are truly God sent and I would absolutely recommend his dentistry!! It's hard to believe there's little to NO PAIN HONESTLY, RIGHT? If you're tired of being just "another appointment" and want more out of your dental health experience for you and your family, I promise you, God only made one Dr. Sharani!! Your life will change forever... read more

I wished there is a MINUS 5 star on Yelp, and only that can represent how horrible my experience was with Dr Ali. short version: 1, Can he read X-ray? He missed the deep cavity, which was obvious even to his hygienist (I later visited my friend's dentist and also my new dentist, they all spotted the cavity on the first visit). He said there was a tiny cavity on other tooth, but I had two teeth infected, the one he ignored was much more serious. Because of this delay and ignorance, I suffered another 3 month, before it got to a point where root canal and a crown were inevitable. 2, Of course, he wants out-of-patient's pocket money. Instead, he recommended an expensive night guard, with a price over than 500 bucks (by the way, other dentists usually ask for 200), and the insurance did not cover a cent for this. It was all because he subjectively thought that my tooth pain was from anxiety and grinding, and his speculation was not based on x-ray results. 3, After I insisted to fix my pain, he did fill my less severe cavity, but he did a lousy and perfunctory job, where he did not adjust the high filling - surely increasing my grinding behaviors in the future. He also did not clean up the tartar on the surface- because of his unfishied work, it costed me another 100 dollars later to fix the same tooth. 4, Oh boy, how dare he charged me this much? The comparison: Dr Ali : regular x-ray + teeth cleaning + 1 cavity （not severe, even he said so）= 625 dollars my current dentist: 7 cavities (including 2 moderate deep) + a Crown Tooth ！！！+ regular x-ray + teeth cleaning = 789 dollars. 5，He asked me to pay another 300 bucks eight months later, even when I received all the copay document from my insurance company last year and both of us did pay our share? I mean, my insurance covered 80-90% of the tooth filling and cleaning and 100% with the x-ray, which means plus the 125 dollars I co-paid last November should cover everything. Well, how could you just make up another 300 bucks for me to pay? Here is the whole story. If you were like me, being new in Antioch area and heavily relying on Yelp to find the right dentist, please look further, expand your search scope to even Concord, you can find a real professional, but definitely stay away from dramas in this place! Yes, at the beginning he promised free check-up and partial x-ray (believe me, he will request you to have a full x-ray the next visit), but things went horribly wrong for my formal visit (Nov 2017) -- I had bad pain on my left molar teeth but I did not which one or two. After the x-ray and tooth cleaning, the hygienist showed me two teeth had cavities. However, Dr A insisted that I did not have any urgent issue with cavity, and he said my pain was due to tooth grinding - and the root cause was anxiety. His solution was using night guard, even after he looked the full x-ray result. Although the hygienist reminded him that there were two cavities, he only fixed the less severe one and left me this message: "Your pain will come back if you don't wear night guard. " (In retrospect, he was partially right - yes, the pain would not go away, but just because you did not fix the cavity.) Within a month, I went to Tennessee for Thanksgiving, and my friend's 30-year-experienced dentist checked my tooth and was surprised that Ali did not treat my cavity, as it was deep enough to almost get to the nerves and he used the same x-ray results Ali sent to him. The dentist treated my tooth, and adjusted the surface to match the bottom tooth, that was when i realized that Ali did not do this step and left my filled tooth too high in its position. The Tennessee dentist warn me that maybe the treatment was not enough if the nerve keeps inflamed, and be prepare for root canal. In another two month, I had a new dentist T. Up till then the tooth pain was unbearable, and Dr T recommended an endodontist to perform root canal surgery on me and then he himself checked my teeth thoroughly, sugestting me to have all the cavities fixed (including the one Dr Ali fixed, because he did not get all the parts, especially the tartars on the surface). There were 7 cavities and teeth cleaning，and Dr T only chrage for less than 800 bucks, with a co-pay less than 300 dollars (since crown tooth is only 50% coverage). By contrast, Dr Ali charged me 625 dollars for just one cavity and tooth cleaning. I was speechless when I realized how Dr Ali overpriced his practice. I was a lazy person when it comes to write reviews, but sometimes I was wondering if most of his patients were tricked by his "first time" good impression - surely hard working and friendly, that was why so many good reviews were posted about him. But I do think it is necessary for people in similar situations to know more about this Dr, hence, here is my first ever detailed review on Yelp. read more

Hands down. The best it gets! I'm the biggest scarey cat/ baby when it comes to going to the dentist and allthough nobody likes to go, he turned me into a big girl..lol..at 50. Thorough,proffecianal,and gentle. Won't go anywhere else now. read more

I tell everyone who hasn't had this experience this type of experience to book your appointment with Dr. Sharani. He reminds me really of what true patient care entails, unfortunately with all the hustle & bustle many health care professionals haven't gotten away from that , but not Dr.SharanI. If you are concerned with standard of care & having quality care Make an appointment with this dental office. It will be the best decision you can make for you and your family. read more

Where do I begin? When I walked in to Dr.Shirani's office I was welcomed with a handshake and 3 promises. The office is top notch state of the art with newest technology and the staff are immaculate. I had severe problems and needed extractions and immediates Dr. Sherani kept his promises that he had made upon my arrival and I'm beyond grateful to him for keeping his word. I would like to say he gave my smile back but in reality he actually gave me way more than that. Renewed sense of self and renewed trust in a dentist that actually cares. I can't thank them enough. Side bar excellent taste in music. Happy Holidays! Hope Fowler read more

Five stars across the board for Dr. Shirani and his staff as well. I am notorious for delaying dentist visits due to my discomfort in the past. The kindness, compassion and excellent care and service I received was impeccable and highly recommended! I am already sharing his contact with family and friends and want anyone who may dislike the idea of dental visits to consider Dr. Shirani and his staff as a recommended resource. read more
