I can't say enough great things about Distinct Dental and the care I received. The office runs seamlessly, and the staff is genuinely warm and welcoming. After several painful dental experiences in the past, I've developed significant anxiety around dental work, but Dr. Rafiei's compassionate approach immediately put me at ease. He is attentive, patient, and takes the time to explain every step of the process. What stood out most was how efficiently he worked without ever compromising quality. In a few weeks since my visit, I've recommended him to three people, and they are all raving about the office and Dr. Rafiei. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Rafiei. He is a compassionate genuine person. He has excellent bedside manners, never rushes and spends time with his patients. He does excellent dental work and is great with children and making them feel comfortable. read more

Dr. Rafiei and his staff at Distinct Dental are wonderful. Each is thorough, patient and extremely kind. I am so grateful to have found this dentist and can't imagine seeing anyone else. My wife and I moved to Houston in 2017 and the first dentist we found was a complete scammer. I was definitely gun shy when searching for a new provider, but am so fortunate to have found Dr. Rafiei. So ethical! Can't recommend highly enough, 10/10! read more

Attentive and detailed Dr! Dr Rafiei is the best!! and sweet front desk staff! Just left a cleaning and my teeth feel greatttt

Dr. Rafiei is the only dentist I trust. I've been coming here for years and have referred my entire family, now they're regular patients who feel the same. I wholeheartedly recommend him. read more

I have been a patient at this office for around 10 years I think. This office is the best! All the staff is friendly and extremely professional. One thing I like in particular is how the service is not only excellent but prompt. I can only recall 1time I had to wait and my appointment wasn't on time. Thanks to the whole office for the warm vibe! read more

I would give 1000 stars on this doctor's review if I could. I've been coming here for 5 years now and let me say one thing. I used to do everything I can to AVOID dentist(s), dental office visits, because THEY ALL SUCKED!!! it was painful, work being done incorrectly etc and it was just a nightmare. But after doing some research on google, I found Dr. Poria Rafiei and decided to give it a try. Little did I know, it was going to be a LIFETIME LUCK for me! HE IS SO CARING, THOUGHTFUL and VERY CAREFUL with procedures on my teeth. I have very sensitive teeth since I was young, so any little mistake can make me shiver with pain. But with Dr. Poria Rafiei, I never once felt any pain during the last 5 years of treatment. He is also awarded multiple times as best dentist in the USA. So, CHECK HIM OUT guys!!! you will NOT regret your choice. I have referred my close friends and families, they are all happy with their treatments. NOW, I walk in to dental office with a big smile (I may look a little crazy because I smile too much lol ) but that's because I feel comfortable knowing that this doctor is not going to hurt me, make me suffer or tense up during the treatment. All staffs are so nice every single time!!! office is always squeaky clean! So, 1000 STARTS!!! :D read more

TLDR: Run, don't walk, to this dentist. I love, love, love my dentist and his staff. As someone who has had extreme dental anxiety to the point that I used to need sedation dentistry, this is obviously saying a lot. I was already in the process of getting over it when I switched to Dr. V. Because I trust him so fully from great experience after great experience, I no longer need to take prescription anti-anxiety medication before I go. He is kind and really cares about his patients. He does excellent and gentle work. He really tries to charge you fairly and even worked extensively with my insurance to get as much covered as possible. I need to give an additional shout out to Sabrina, the dental hygienist I saw today. She also really cares and pointed out some things to me about my dental care that I know will really make a difference since I have some special circumstances stemming from bad genetics. I have had bonding that another dentist did 20 years ago due to ultra-white staining on my teeth. I had Dr. V redo it two years ago, and I know it was a huge challenge to color match my teeth and cover those stains again. He was meticulous about making it look like I hadn't had work done and covering the staining. I also had whitening done on the parts of my teeth that were not bonded before he did the actual bonding replacement. Today when I went in for my normal cleaning, I asked about freshening up my whitening because I love red wine and coffee. I am getting married at the end of November, and I wanted my teeth to look my best for the pictures. They took care of me today without an additional appointment. No one ever tries to push anything on me that I don't need or want. They didn't push me on veneers that were out of my price range, although I am saving up for them because they look so good. I have seen Dr. V's work on veneers, and it is amazing. I really cannot say enough good things about Dr. V and his practice. Your vibe attracts your tribe, and his tribe is awesome. He is a good man. read more

The best dentist I have ever been to. Very personalized and professional service. The Dr. is very thorough and wants to ensure the long health of your teeth. The staff at the desk as well as the Dr.'s assistants are all wonderful. I cannot recommend this dr enough. read more

Amazing dental office! Staff are friendly and never have an issue with billing. The dentist actually explains things to you, he is patient and had a good sense of humor. Totally recommend! read more

Best dentist in Houston!! I have never been to a dentist that cares more about his patients and the work he does for them. I literally brag about having a dentist I actually enjoy going to. Going to the dentists can be stressful, so it's amazing that I go in without any anxiousness and come out actually feeling relaxed. Love the music and environment. Very calming. You're missing out on proper dental care and a great doctor if you don't go to Dr. Rafiei. P.s. I've never left a review on yelp (this is my first). So that right there should tell you how great he is. read more

Dr. Poria and his team is absolutely AHHHHMAZING!!!! I refuse to go to another dental practice.

This might be the most inspiring and peaceful dental atmosphere I've ever experienced. Dr. Rafiei is first and foremost a professional; he knows so much about his work, and more importantly, why we need it. He explains everything in logical detail, which I appreciate. I know it's common for dentists to "look" for problems or issues to perhaps pad the cost, but he was willing to address the more 911 issues immediately, and then recommend others that would be possibly less pressing (in order to save my immediate costs). Our insurance is pitiful in what it covers, so having an awesome dentist is the only way I'd feel great about spending more to have some semi-serious work done (crown, fillings). The above is just the professional aspect; his personality is so genuine, and he is very caring. You can see he puts 200% care into his work, and he doesn't accept less from himself. His staff, his children, and his wife all were so fun and sweet. Also, the office is so nice and quiet. I love how it's not a huge circus of people scurrying back and forth with drills squealing in the background... Other nice touches: a keurig ready to brew for you, an inviting front area which smells amazing, and netflix if you are interested (while waiting to be numb. :-( I will be making this my permanent dentist, even though I live about 50 miles away! read more

Wouldn't know if he was good or not. Waited 40+ min for him to clean my teeth. Don't know why there's not a dental hygienist, etc to assist in that. Some of us have a small window of availability like a lunch hour, and not waste it. The staff seemed in no hurry to see what was the delay. I was the only patient there... waste of time. It's stressful enough going to dentist but to get there and wait almost an hour. Nope. read more

The best! Have been going there for over 6 years and love all of them!!! They are very thorough- not pushy-won't charge an arm and leg. Very fair pricing and excellent service. read more

We have been searching for a dentist for our family that we can fully trust has our health and care as the highest priorities as opposed to trying to see patients quickly. Dr. Rafiei and his staff walked us through everything we needed to get done clearly and took the time with us we need to be able to ask questions. We can't thank him enough for his work for us and look forward to many years of coming to see him and his team. read more

Dr. Rafiei is an amazing dentist! His staff are super sweet and welcoming, I feel at ease and comfortable in his office. He is extremely gentle and always says he does not tolerate pain in his office. I've had nothing but excellent experiences at Distinct Dental and highly recommend anyone to Dr. Rafiei! read more

I have to honestly say, this place is the best. They have a great facility, great staff, and Dr. Poria Rafiei is top notch.

Really friendly staff. Did not have to wait long for my appointment. Appointment was painless and thorough, but not too long. Doctor Sharp was very nice. read more

Dr. Rafiei and his staff are great. I'm not particularly fond of the dentist in general, but he makes the experience less stressful. His office staff are also lovely, helpful, and super professional. The only downsides I see are that 1) there is often a wait for Dr. Rafiei after being set up in an exam room, though not outrageously long, and 2) the Jesus music they play is kind of grating--just not my thing, I guess. These 2 things don't detract from a 5-star rating, though, as it's difficult to find a good & reputable dentist. Highly recommended. read more

Quick and response service. Dr Rafiei performs the cleaning and exam himself! Also using up to date technology and process which I greatly appreciate! read more

Dr. Poria Rafiei is amazing. He treats all his customers with the highest of care. I use to hate the dentist and now working with him I'm at ease every visit. Not only will you get amazing work done it will be done correctly. I had a root canal done by him and had no pain the day of or following. This place is worth the visit. Great dentist, kind staff, great decor, and great location. Oh they also have monitors in from of your chair so you can watch tv while they work. Only negative is that the parking lot is on the smaller side but because of all the shops it's a continuous flow of people leaving and coming. Seriously A++! read more

Dr. Poria is absolutely incredible. My husband had been coming to him for years and always bragged about him. Dr.Poria has great bedside manners, completely honest, attentive to questions and concerns. He also helped me by educating me and properly sedating me while extracting my wisdom teeth (3 of them) and other work was done. Besides that, the whole team is excellent, from the front desk to the assistants. The place is also impecable and nicely decorated. I will keep coming to him and my family as well! Thank you Dr.Poria and team! read more

Good experience. The dentist is friendly and his wife works there too. She helps make the visit fun as she engages you with lively conversation. I have a phobia about going to the dentist so the 5-star is never going to happen, but know that if and when I need to go again I won't hesitate to return to this office. Once they bring invisiline braces onto their list of options, I can get my husband to come with me too. :) read more

Dr. R is the most patient dentist I have ever been to. I have extreme anxiety when it comes to dentists! I went to him in pain due to my wisdom teeth. He was able to see me and assess my situation right away. I scheduled a visit to have my wisdom teeth removed and Dr. R was patient with me every step of the way! His bedside manner is perfect. The only reason I'm not giving him a 10 star rating is because Yelp only allows 5......Dr R. you and your staff are amazing! read more

Amazing atmosphere and staff. I hate going to the dentist but Dr Rafiei is an amazing doctor that is the most professional and comforting doctor I have come to meet. I would highly recommend Distinct Dental to aokp of my friends and family. read more

Dr. Rafiei, started out as a nice dentist, he did a root canal on my upper tooth, and once he completed he told me he wanted me to go to one of his peers to have him look at it to make sure it was done right, (WTH) I felt confused because why would I pay you and then gave to pay your friend to check your work... then he puts in temporaries, and told me it would be $1,400 for two porcelain teeth (that's even after my insurance was charged)..... I paid $700 and then time went by because I have 2 children in college and couldn't afford to come back immediately, so when I was finally able to go back and pay the remaining $700, I was met by a lecture and scolding by Dr. Rafiei (as if I were a child) because I didn't come back right away and he never asked why I wasn't able to come back, to add insult to injury he added another 300 onto it now it's $1000 instead of$700...... I'm sure I won't be back...... p.s. His wife is a really nice person the sad part is she's not a dentist.... as well his front desk staff is very immature and they sit at the front desk talking negatively about the patients..... read more

Cannot say enough about the care I recently received at Distinct Dental, Dr. Rafiei and his staff are the BEST. Had a root canal, I was scared before I went in. He made my experience painless, walked me thru every step of the way. We were done in less then 2hrs. it was AWESOME. Got in my car and drove to Wimberley. read more

Dr Rafiei is awesome. I'm so glad I found him. After some not-so-great experiences with another dentist in Dallas, I was hesitant to try someone new. Highly recommend him for regular checks ups or any corrective actions needed. He is fast, yet thorough and kind. Support staff is also good. read more

Dr Rafiei is awesome! So happy I found him. After a not so pleasant dental experience, I came to Distinct Dental for a cleaning. Contrary to popular belief, I had the best experience at THE DENTIST!!!! Can you believe it?? How many dentist offices have you been to where the DENTIST cleans your teeth??? Well Dr. Rafiei takes the time to clean his patients teeth...i couldn't believe it. Everyone from his assistant to his back office ladies were so nice, and made me feel comfortable the minute I walked in the door. At the end of my appointment, Dr Rafiei sat down with me to discuss his treatment plan. I will DEFINITELY be back... thank you Distinct Dental! read more

Tried to be patient but never even got to meet the doctor because the wait time was 90 minutes even though I made an appointment beforehand. The employees here seemed to think this was okay. Thank you for wasting my time. read more

Staff is very friendly, office is very nice, and doctor is great! Very happy with my experiences here!

I was extremely nervous to go to the dentist after years of never coming in. First impression of the wait room- beautiful, orderly & clean. The staff was beyond sweet & made the process so much easier. They had all of my insurance figured out even though it took multiple calls! Dr. Rafiei was by far one of the best healthcare professionals I have ever worked with. He was thorough with his review of my teeth and built quotes for me future procedures upon request. I never felt nervous or under pressure to spend extra money or receive treatments I didn't need.I really have to hand it to Dr. Rafiei & his staff, they are phenomenal! If you're looking for a dentist in this area Distinct Dental is a fantastic choice!! read more
