I am very disappointed with my experience. During my appointments, the dentist spent a lot of time talking and socializing instead of focusing on the procedure. I felt that her attention was divided, which affected the quality of the work. The temporary bridge she placed was poorly fitted. I couldn't floss between my teeth, and because I wasn't able to clean the area properly, I developed painful canker sores in my mouth while waiting nearly a month for the permanent bridge. I also believe the fees were excessive. I paid approximately $1,800 for a bridge even with dental insurance, and the quality of the work has not met my expectations. At this point, I only want her to complete the permanent bridge correctly--with full attention to the procedure and without repeating the same mistakes. Once the bridge is finished, I will be finding a different dentist. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this office. read more

I recommend Dr.Neda Khodai to anyone. She pays attention to the all details, she is very friendly like other her staff. read more

Where do I even start? Before finding this gem of a dentist, I had one of the worst dental experiences of my life at another office in Newport Beach. After having so many issues with his work, I decided to see what others had said and realized he had multiple complaints and was placed on a 3-year probation by the Dental Board in 2024. When I went back to him to show the crown (which already had a hole in it), he raised his voice at me, got uncomfortably close to my face, and I felt unsafe during the interaction so had to leave. By the time I came to Dr. Khodai, my crown (which was fairly new) already had a hole in it! She made me a brand new crown that actually fit and restored my tooth properly. Yes, I had to pay the fees all over again, but for the first time, I felt the work was done right. Not to mention, her practice is exceptionally clean, something I was not used to with my last experience at his office. Dr. Khodai is detail-oriented, clean, and truly professional, everything my last experience was not! I'm just grateful to finally have a trustworthy honest dentist who takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about her patients. God bless her and her practice. read more

Nothing straight up bad about this place but I called to book a checkup and they are booking 5 months out! FYI read more

Been going to Dr. Kodai for years and this review is long overdue. I remembered I first looked at Yelp for a dentist that would fit my insurance so I decided to try this location. Although the hygienist team has changed over years, with the exception of Jackie at front desk who is INCREDIBLE, the consistency of service has remained the same. I feel treated with care every 6 months for my cleanings (of sometimes for a cavity refill), and my visit is concluded with Dr. Kodai checking the work. She is supremely cheerful, honest, and professional always. I'm so glad I yelped for a dentist years ago! PS: I've always had insurance while visiting Dr. Kodai, except for this last visit due to a change in jobs. This was not an issue, and Jackie at front desk was very transparent about the costs ahead of time which I truly appreciated. read more

So grateful to have found Dr. Khodai! I went to her for a second opinion. I had been having pain and discomfort for 6 months with my crown. Prior dentist just brushed me off. Dr. Khodai is extremely knowledgeable and gave me a plan of action to fix my issue. I had to have a few procedures done and each time I came in, she and her staff took great care of me. Her staff is amazing! They answered all my questions regarding payments and procedures. I am now pain free thanks to this wonderful office. read more

I look forward to going to the Dentist! Staff is great. Dr. Khodai is the best! Jackie has a great touch with office management. read more

First..... I absolutely have the worst dentist phobia and anxiety!!! I've gone to Dr. Khodai for about 16 years, just not as consistently as I should have. She is so patient and kind with me. Today, Nadine did X-rays and a cleaning. She was amazingly good!! Gentle and patient. Next month I will finalize my first implant. I have referred several friends and everyone is very happy with her!!! Highly recommend...... read more

Dr. Khodai is a really skilled dentist and v good at her job. I've been a patient for a few years now and even though I've moved out of the area, I make the drive back to see Dr. Khodai because I trust that I will receive competent care. Her team is stellar - everyone is really nice and Jackie, the receptionist, is always welcoming. At this point, I've recommended three other family members to her practice! This time I went for a cleaning and Megan (sp?) the hygienist was so knowledgeable, friendly and personable, I actually loved being in the chair and wish I could come to teeth cleanings more often!! I appreciate that she took the time to explain, take pictures and demystify my dental problems! So thanks Megan, you're awesome! read more

This place is awesome! I was a bit nervous (par for course when going to the dentist, am I right?) but Meghan was the best. She made sure that I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure: readjusted the seat when she noticed I was squirming, was mindful to the reactionary movements of my lips to make sure that I wasn't feeling any pain, and when I did feel a bit of pain she made sure I got more shots of the numb numb juice . I kid, but I'm serious. This was my first actual procedure at BDE (the only other time I went was for X-rays and a consult) and it was great! Which is weird to say for a dental experience, but it really was haha read more

I'm usually hesitant from find a place that I feel comfortable with, but this place achieved just that. Making an appointment was quick and efficient. Then during the whole process they were reassuring and informative. read more

I will literally only go to Dr Khodai for as long as she is in business. I've driven 1.5 hours one way to see her when I moved away for a few years. I had some dental malpractice done to me when I was younger elsewhere and I was traumatized. Dr Khodai and her staff are amazing!!! They are kind and perfectionists. I trust her completely. Highly recommend her to anyone who will listen. read more

Thanks for wonderful service. Always appreciate the professionalism and quality of work.

I want to share a problem I have when being serviced by Dr. Khodai and her staff. The problem is trying to stay awake during the many procedures the Practice offers. I had my first introduction to Dr. Khodai when she was doing Intern work in Huntington Beach almost 20 years ago. With my first meeting, I made sure I would always remember her name hoping she would be available for my needs. From my first meeting, I then used a family member who recently retired. Thank goodness Dr. Khodai is still practicing in Orange County! In 2020, I was able to be serviced by Dr. Khodai again! What a joy! I wanted to go to a 'One Stop' Dental location. See my implant? NO Pain, NO pain at all. I did have the problem of trying to stay awake during the procedure! What a problem to have. Need an implant? Don't be afraid! I have multiple implants, my jaw has had more construction than the 405. Her new Office is wonderful! I am soooo happy to have Dr. Khodai as my Dentist! Her Staff is wonderful! read more

See all

All I can say is wow. This place made me feel so comfortable. I do not do well with the dentist and my anxiety was on a high when walking in from past experiences with chain dental offices. The dental hygienist was extremely sweet and amazed me with how gentle and efficient she was. I did not see the dentist much as I did not have anything that raised issues but when she came in she greeted me and had a little chat which was nice of her for being so busy. read more

My family has been seeing Dr Khodai for over 10 years and she is definitely our favorite dentist. She is pleasant, trustworthy and professional, she always finds the best solutions and takes very good care of her patients. My daughter once slipped and broke both front teeth during a Christmas break, we were in a panic. Dr Khodai came to the rescue immediately even though the office was closed for holidays. She miraculously saved the teeth and did a wonderful job restoring them. We're forever grateful! She's also great with braces. My other daughter has an overcrowding problem in the mouth, and her teeth were misaligned since they were fighting for spaces. Other Ortho we consulted all recommended having 1-2 teeth pulled out and the kid of course hated that idea. Dr Khodai worked with the limited space, and again worked her magic. The brace she put in is unnoticeable, looks great and the result is impressive. We are so fortunate to have Dr Khodai. Her office is neat, and up to date with current technology. Her staffs are well trained, happy and efficient, her assistant Jackie is always a pleasure and extremely helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent care. Doesn't upsell you. Honest opinions. Offers choices in what you might need to fix problems.

Amazing service! Honesty is everything. I just love how they assess your teeth and gums and make recommendations with no pressure. Great time! I still think it was painful but I have low tolerance for pain. read more

Based on my experience and in my opinion dr. Neda/her staff area crook. Either the front girl lying or doctor is a real crook. Dr refusing to refund insurance company for am inadvertent charge that secretary herself admitted was not suppose to be charged. I don't know about her work but I will refuse treatment or any relation with a crook! Her reaction to my request to refund insurance company was really unacceptable. In fact it could be a case for insurance fraud. Just be aware. It's matter of principle. read more

Dr. Khodai is a wonderful dentist and so are her staff! I have been going to her for over 11 years, even when I lived in LA for about 8 years. I moved back to Irvine, and so glad that I did because I'm now close to her again. I completely recommend everyone to go see her. Her work and care are impeccable! She has taken great care of me and my teeth and smile. Just recently this week, one of my molars chipped. Thankfully I wasn't in pain but also thankfully Dr. Khodai was able to see me within 2 days. She fixed my tooth pain-free​. Thank you, ​Dr. Khodai and to all of the wonderful staff, especially Jackie! You are all the best! read more
