Very good i loved my experience my mouth will always be wide open for them. I had my regular oral cleaning and it was quite the experience

OMG-recently moved to the area and need a retreatment for root canal. They had an appointment immediately so I booked. Upon arrival I got really uncomfortable with the neighborhood (very run down and dirty. Bad enough that I was already questioning my decision to book with this DDS. Went into the office reception area and it didn't get any better. DISGUSTING OFFICE. Peeling paint, old carpet dings in the walls. Went up to window and receptionist was nasty and very busy looking at something on her computer. I was early so OK. Then without even asking who I was or allowing me to say my name and that I was here for my appointment said she would be with me in a minute. Asked for the restroom and she grunted and pointed. Once in the restroom the office conditions got even worse with holes in the walls. I decided at that point to leave without explanation. read more

Update: I was contacted by Sabrina, the office manager a full week after I needed my dental records transfered-over 2 weeks after the original request. She contacted me regarding my yelp review, told me that they do accept my insurance but it's more like a "coupon". Told me that of course I could get my dental records transferred. Then I tried again to schedule my dental maintenance and she ghosted my on the texts. I tried to follow up. No response. I waited over a week and let her know that i would be reaching out to the dental board and that's when Mia began taking over messaging. She was flat out rude and then said i needed to come into the office to get my dental records released. i was previously told that the file for the release could be sent via email. I feel as though i am being discriminated against for not having insurance with a high payout for them. read more

Lacking customer skills. Sent me off with an incorrect prescription. Pharmacy couldn't except it since they left off any dispensing information. Easy fix, just call or send correct prescription in. Waited over an hour and still nothing. They said they sent it over, but pharmacy received nothing.called back again asked them to just make a 2 minute phone call to fix THEIR mistake or 5 seconds to send it electronically Nope, I had to drive all the way back to the Dentist office to get a correct prescription. Top it off, they gave me two copies of same prescription. There were 2 different prescriptions. read more

Told me I have 14 cavities which is outrageous. Went to another dentist to double check and they said I have 2 cavities. Also the equipment was wrapped with duct tape. Very sketchy read more

They were pushing that I extract 4 of my wisdom teeth even if there was no need to, I have enough space for them. Also they claimed that I had one cavity. I went to another dentist and they checked and everything looks good. Desk clerk was using chatgpt. read more

I had called this place the day prior and they had asked for all my information then I show up the next day to find out that they're not covered by my insurance. No apology or any kind of professional courtesy to call me to inform me ahead of time. Thank you for the inconvenience of missing work for this appointment. read more

This is a horrible dentistry office. I've had only bad experiences with their clerical staff, and their dentists. I had increased my dental insurance specifically to cover their $500 charge for deep cleaning. I had confirmed that was covered by Delta Dental beforehand. Yet, I walked in the clinic and they demanded $500 right away. I explained how my current policy covered this expense and requested to talk to the dentist. They refused to talk to Delta to verify charges nor let me consult with dentist. They are an incompetent staff, not caring about your teeth in the last regard. If you want to go there be prepared to be frustrated and disappointed with them. Kara Miller, M,A. read more

First time visiting this dental office. Not a good experience. X-rays were done and I was then placed in the lobby...? I thought there was a mix up with my insurance, there wasn't. This office did X-rays separate from dental cleaning. I requested time off work for X-rays and a doctor to say your teeth look great. This appears to be a clerical problem, scheduling sucked, nothing was clearly explained and overall lack of courtesy for wasting my time. Only bright spot was the actual dentist. read more

Excellent service for an emergency extraction. Called and received a call just in time to eliminate all pain!! In by 10:00am, out by noon. Dr. Beheshti was professional and attentive. Loretta the receptionist & Brittney the assistant were awesome!! Just make sure you have good insurance read more

Very disappointed in this dental office. Will not be back. My husband and I have been going to this office for maybe 3 years, but recently it's gone down hill. My husband and I both had appointments today at 3pm, he had to get off work early for it. Walk in and they had no record of our appointments! Mine was made over 6 months ago right after my last appointment. Same with my husband. I called the office Jan 20 to confirm it was correct we were both scheduled for the same date and time and Collette told me we were all set. Today Collette said I tried calling you and texting you and no response. My phone number they had on file was incorrect (last 4 digits were transposed) yet my husband's was correct. They never called him. She said they make calls like a week prior and if you don't confirm, your appointment is given away! Another thing is they only have a hygienist on Wednesday and Thursdays! I was surprised to learn that today. 6 mos ago when I had my teeth cleaned, the girl who did it seemed inexperienced like she just finished training. I gave her the benefit of doubt and was willing to let her do it again, but no, we are going elsewhere. read more

I went on 3/12/25 for a bad tooth that app went great I set up the return app for 3/19/25 I took off work an hour earlier to insure I was on time when I arrived I was told I did not have an appointment I said that yes I did you set it up for me and she said no that it was not showing and tried to blame her mistake on me so I went to my car got the appointment card showing my appointment I then came back at 4 to have procedure done , I am deathly afraid of needles so I had my Husbund come back with me they said he would have to stand so at that I got up stayed I wanted my money back and that was my experience with Aura dental the problem was the lack of ownership when a mistake is made and the will say the dentist form the fist visit was great but it's the front office is the is the issue I went to this dentist pre Covid and all aspects were great that why I back there.I will not return I will deal with the tooth till I get another dentist . read more

Aura Dental Care - Front side of appointment card - General Dentistry Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

See all

This Dental Practice is fantastic! Everyone was so friendly and funny. They called and got me in earlier than scheduled because I was in pain and they wanted to help me - Amazing! Dr White, the dental hygienist's and the reception desk could not have been more customer focused! And they were less expensive than I expected!! read more

Lack of care, and profession, I called earlier today for an office visit appt the lady says hold on one second as I waited I am hunged up. I called back thinking it was an accident it was ok, a different lady picks up stated her name Loretta and I had asked the same question as earlier she told me as soon as today if I can make it at a specific time. I then asked if they took my insurance and if not what was the cost? She provided the cost and i said oh no then I asked and the insurance? She said mmm with a hint of sarcasm then said no we don't. Almost to fast with a different type of attitude I said oh okay thank you and she says yeah. I never even been to this place yet and I already feel uncomfortable I am a dental assistant myself and this is just disappointing. read more

I'm new the the area and scheduled a cleaning with Dr. Morteza. When I arrived they checked me in for a cleaning and then informed me they may not clean my teeth today... the lady checking me in suggested we get regular X-rays first and that the X-rays would determine if I got a regular cleaning. While I was interested in the regular X-rays, which we all know are part of a persons yearly maintenance, nothing on an x-ray would prevent a cleaning. The desk lady wasn't able to explain what on an x-ray would prevent cleaning as well, however she said she wouldn't NOT guarantee I got my teeth cleaning at my cleaning appointment. Additionally, she said she confirmed this with my "dentist" who wasn't Dr.M... it seems like they are untrained and unorganized. I would be disappointed to not be treated by the doctor I selected. Even more, I was disappointed I couldn't get my teeth cleaned today at my appointment for cleaning. Staff: disrespectful, unprofessional, confused Facility: old read more

If I could give 0 stars I would, they gave me an appt for a Saturday , I came early to my appt and I get here and the place is closed , it's unacceptable to give someone an appt knowing your place is going to be closed?? Do you guys not communicate with eachother ? read more

Great dental team!!!! Dr. Behestian took really good care of us throughout the entire process. The ladies at the front desk were always amazing and understanding!! We can't be anymore happier with our new smiles!!! read more

Aura Dental Care went right to the problem and fixed me the same day! Outstanding service! You will be satisfied! I'm

Second visit went well. Met the dentist, who assisted in my teeth and gum cleaning. We discussed a future plan of care for tooth that needs root canal . I got a referral for a specialist. read more

My wife and I had a check up and cleaning this morning. After the cleaning was finished, the front desk manager told us that they did "deep cleanings" and that that wasn't covered by our insurance and that we need to pay out of pocket. So, they did the work without our authorization, and told us after the fact. TOTAL SCAM. And, to make things rose, the hygienist that worked on my wife, hurt my wife with the polishing drill and cut her lip in two places. My wife shouted in pain and the hygienist was rude, indignant and unapologetic toward my wife. Never go here or beware of their unscrupulous business practices and lack of concern toward their patients. read more

Absolutely terrible. Went in for horrible tooth pain, didn't even get to see a dentist. Staff was rude. They rushed me out with a prescription. read more

I made an appointment, then came in that day. The dentist was not there. He was on vacation the entire week. They had no record of my appointment. I told them I only wanted a teeth cleaning. The receptionist told me that the dentist would need to x-ray my teeth before authorizing a teeth cleaning. I advised I did not want x-rays, to which she replied that I had to receive an x-ray otherwise how would the dentist know to give me a teeth cleaning!!! Really?!? I changed dental providers immediately. read more

Loretta and the crew always pull through!!!! I had my first deep cleaning a few days ago and man do my teeth look beautiful. Having a bottom permanent retainer is a pain so I appreciate the thorough cleaning and detail. Always professional and kind I can't thank you guys enough for making me feel at ease. See y'all next week when I pick up my Night guard. read more

I wish I had read this before I used my insurance on their service! All they see are dollars signs when you get in the chair. I was refused a cleaning when I told them I could not afford what they wanted to do. Lorreta gave a lame excuse. Never again! RUN!! read more

This place is a complete fraud. First I was given a wrong price, procedure was not explained to me, the prerequisite for the procedure was not explained to me until I showed up for my appointment. had to wait an extra week to get the procedure done. I paid $400 out of pocket to whiten my teeth. My teeth did not change not even 1 shade brighter. I called and let them know. They told me they were going to give me 2 extra sessions. I made an appointment and was told to come in at 1. I got there 10 minutes late and was told that I came late so they went on lunch. my fault for being late and I understand that but who makes an appointment in the space of their lunch time?? I was told they would call back when they are back in office to set another date. They didn't not call me back for 3 days and I kept calling with no answer. They didn't answer my number so I used my mom's phone to call and sure enough, they picked up. Went in again for the extra 2 sessions and I waited 44 mins before being attended to and then I was told they someone threw away the trays she had. It's a dentist's office, trays should be in storage. The 1 tray they had, someone threw it away???? Doesn't make any sense to me! Had to wait for 44 mins just to hear that and then she told me she was going to prefer the home kit for me on Amazon. I DID NOT PAY $400 TO GET THE HOME KIT! I COULD HAVE BOUGHT IT MYSELF AND DID IT MYSELF AT HOME IF THATS WHAT I WANTED!!!! I would never ever recommend this place to anyone, not even to a dog. I ask for a refund and only got back half of my money. $200 went down the drain just like that. I wanted to give them 0/5. The whole thing was about a month long read more

Dental work is painful no matter who does it or how well you take care of your teeth. $50 cancellation charge on cancelled appointments that I've literally never heard of in my life. Inconsiderate of patients and overall rude when talking to them. Been going here for a while and I'm going to change dentists. read more

6/19/16 Well here I am still struggling with Aura Dental Cares mistake after 2 years!! As you can see in the picture I posted I only had one molar left in the back of my mouth after my bridge had failed. Since my gums were so damaged and the filling was so horribly done. I had to have my last molar / tooth on my lower right PULLED last week. If my bridge would have never failed and caused the gum damage it did. I wouldn't have had to loose another tooth. Have I tried to reach out? Yes. Sadly once you're on their "list" they ignore your calls. Do they not remember what they have done to me? They refunded my failed bridge but never once asked to help pay for the expenses I am now paying out of pocket because of them!!! I will have to struggle for the rest of my life because of this and they don't give a damn! Don't go to this dentist, don't trust them, run far far away from them. 4/15/14 It's unfortunate.. I loved this office, trusted the staff, loved this dentist.. Until... I had a permeant bridge placed. After about 2 weeks it was clicking (not normal) and it just didn't feel right... I called Loretta the Owner and told her what the problem was and she just told me it would "adjust"... After 3-4 months.. I started to see a difference in my gums and a horrible pain in my teeth.. I came in and I was in the chair for maybe 5 minutes for them to LOOK not test.. LOOK at the bridge... They told me I just needed a root canal on one of the teeth anchoring the bridge... Which ended up not being the case.. I went and got a second option and it turns out... Due to this lovely permeant bridge that Aura Dental Care Placed I now have receded gums from tooth number 31-27... I have had now 2 root canals... AND I know have TMJ disorder because this bridge was never fit OR placed right!!! When I tried to call Loretta about what has happened I only get ignored or her RDA's calling me back.. Really unprofessional because obviously they know they screwed up... The least they could have done was given me a refund for the bridge I had for 3 months... All I'm left with is permeant damage to my mouth and an extreme amount of money out of pocket from their mistake! read more

My insurance company advised me about them. I had unexpected toothache Called them talked to Loretta very nice and welcoming. Gave me a same day Appointment. Got to the office everyone was very friendly and Dr. Sasan saw me and prescribed me with medication and referred me to A periodontics. Asked for a excuse for work letter and Loretta Was on it and not only emailed me one she also faxed it To my employer. They are all very nice and friendly. I'm glad I found a great dental office for myself and my family! read more

Best dental cleaning I've had ever! Most professional staff and how about that dentist? Where did they find him? He was great! All I know is I was treated with the most courteous and caring woman who actually took the time to explain to me why I was in need of different fillings and just how dangerous the previous ones I had actually were! I knew I didn't like my old dental staff but this just confirmed it! Goodbye old dentist! Hello good aura! And no high pressure sales pitch to me!!! Just compassion and care!!! Thank u miss Stockdale! read more

Zero Stars - Yes, so lame. Where do I begin. Filling out three times on my 9 year old. She ate normal food. Dr. Beheshtian has poor communication skills and is not a good dentist for adults let alone kids. Last time we were there, I signed nothing and he said nothing to me. My child cried and I jumped up to see what was going on. No explanation was given. Lame service, lame dentist. I could say more but will leave it as this. read more

I LOVE Aura Dental!!! I had visited a few years ago when I was in pain and they were so patient and understanding - got me in and taken care of right away. The dentist was wonderful and made sure to keep me comfortable and let me know I could raise my hand at anytime if I was uncomfortable or in pain and he would stop. Recently I needed more work done but I had changed jobs and was afraid they wouldn't accept my new insurance. Just a quick call to the office and Loretta confirmed that they accepted my new plan, as well. She got me in right away and my experience was equally as awesome! Everyone in the office is friendly and helpful. Prices are fair and I feel the Dr. always has my best interest in mind. I strongly recommend Aura Dental! read more

I have been here before and didn't think much of it. I had a tooth break and they got me in pretty quick and i was greatfull. They did good work and i was happy, then they suggested a cleaning. I was in the chair okay. Then the upsell to the deep cleaning, periodontal. Okay just this once. I left kinda happy. Now its six months later i get a text saying i have an appointment, thats neat. I go in , lady at the windows eating at her desk. Ehh no big deal.. I check in, " ill be collecting $130 from you today". What? What? No explanation. I asked what for . your cleaning and florride. No. Its a extra maintenance for your periodontal. I don't like how that went down. I feel like my health wasn't important just squeezing more money out of me. read more

To expensive, and I have Dental Insurance! Great people, but for the mid collars & on up financially. They only use the best & that's why it's pricey. The 2 stars have nothing to do with the staff or Dentist, just can't afford it! Wish I could read more

I need to have dental work done ASAP! And it's going to be costly, but worth it! My daughter just had some work done, so I felt it was time! I'm trying to wait for my PPO to kick in. But trying to contact my insuranc ecompany is a NIGHTMARE! So I will be having it done soon, will keep you posted! read more

i had the same issue as others with the deep cleaning. personally, i think it is a waste of money and a scam to get extra pay. i am on medicare via kaiser (delta care). apparently even though delta dental claimed this office takes the insurance, delta care did not pay for procedures that this office performed. left me to pay more than a thousand dollars out of pocket. in the future, i will request that my dentist's office gets pre-authorization for any procedures that they will perform. i have not been back to this office and i am not happy with delta care/kaiser and especially aura dental. i called delta dental for a list of alternate dentists in the area that takes kaiser delta care and no response from delta. i should have knows something was not right when my previous dentist of more than 20 years refused to take kaiser/delta care insurance. read more

Am I glad I found Aura Dental Care! I recently had a root canal and crown prep (my crown isn't ready yet). I was nervous since I had never had a root canal. Everyone in the office is warm and caring and my fears subsided quickly. I can't give enough praise for Dr. Beheshtian, Loretta, the and the 3 RDAs in the office. Dr. Beheshtian is the most gentle dentist and really cares about his patients. I have found a dentist for life! read more
