Dr. Narkhede is truly an exceptional dentist, and his work stands out in a way that is very hard to find. As a high-tech professional with strong attention to detail, I especially value technical skill, precision and deep subject-matter knowledge. Dr. Narkhede has all of that and more. His dental work is extremely thorough, carefully planned and performed with a level of expertise that gives you real confidence as a patient. He took the time to explain the best approach and was able to restore multiple teeth with complex issues by combining his amazing techniques with advanced dental methods and materials. Whether it is restoration or a more complex dental concern, the quality of care is excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Narkhede to anyone looking for a dentist or prosthodontist who is highly skilled, meticulous and deeply committed to doing the job right. read more

The Best Prosthodontist (DDS, MDS) Ever! I've been a patient of Dr. Narkhede since 2023, I come 4x a year and my teeth have never felt better!

As a dentist myself, I can confidently say that no one is better qualified to evaluate dental work than me. Dr. Narkhede increased my bite distance and placed crowns on all my teeth, including one over an implant. The precision of his work is exceptional--the crowns look completely natural, and no one can tell they're not my real teeth. What sets him apart is that he fabricates the crowns himself, ensuring outstanding quality control. His office is equipped with the latest dental technology, making the entire experience seamless. Without a doubt, Dr. Narkhede is the best dentist I've encountered. read more

I recently moved here and was looking for a dentist. Dr Natkhede was recommended. It was a great experience with state of the art technology. He has a terrific sense of humor too! read more

Dr Narkhehe is an amazing dentist for all the right reasons. I've been to several dentists over the past 10 years due to my moves around the Country, and found him in OC three years ago after much research. So glad I did. Several months ago I moved to Dallas, but I am no longer searching for a local dentist as I recently made my first trip back to Lake Forest for my checkup and cleaning. I will do this for the rest of my life regardless of where I live. His expertise, patient manner, and state-of-the-art technology and equipment are all amazing. He gets to know you and really cares. He accepts all forms of insurance. His staff is great and clearly a function of his warm personality. Can't say enough. I now look forward to my visits. read more

I've been going to this dentist for at least 16 years. I've always had a positive experience.

As a long time patient I can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone that has had a bad experience with anyone or big name dental practice. He is kind, professional and very honest, we appreciate this! Thank you Dr. Narkhede -Jamie and Kathryn read more

Helped me when I needed a tooth extracted immediately. I have been a patient ever since. Recommended to my roommate she has been a patient for over year now. Great service and prices read more

He's simply the BEST! I travel over a hundred miles to see him, he's just that good! He's honest and explains the pros and cons of why one procedure would suit the patient over another. He's not a salesman, I've had my share of those in the past! I've always thought of him as an artist and it shows in his work! read more

PAIN FREE TOOTH EXTRACTION SURGERY Just before the holidays, I was experiencing the worst pain in my mouth. The feeling was as if my wisdom tooth were growing in, come to find out it was much worse. Ayeshah was able to kindly get me an appointment asap. I was thinking that I just needed to get my wisdom tooth extracted and the pain would be gone. At the day of surgery, Dr. Narkhede said, "that we're going to have to extract 2 teeth today, not only 1!" Surgery was PAIN FREE (because of the antibiotics the doc prescribed me prior, to help relieve pain and swelling), LITTLE TO ZERO SWELLING, and I was able to go back to work right after. Dr. Narkhede really cares about the health of his patients. Ayeshah did a great job at providing A+ customer service. read more

I visited Dr Narkhede's office for the first time yesterday for an overdue cleaning. I was very impressed by the state of the art x-ray equipment. It was fast , comfortable, and produced spectacular images that allowed for a quick assessment. Next, Dr Narkhede proceeded to clean my teeth with the Airflow system which reaches below the gum line and is super effective at lifting stains. No scraping of tools that for me can be pretty painful and nerve racking. I normally require some anasthetics but with Airflow and Dr. Narkhede's gentleness I required none. Before I knew it he was done and my mouth felt amazing and my teeth were brighter! I am glad I made the trip from Montclair to Lake Forrest to see Dr Narkhede and will continue to do so. Thank you, Dr. Narkhede! read more

My family has been going to Dr. Narkhede for five years now. He is only the second dentist who has told me how to improve my brushing in over 3 decades of going to dentists. He is the one who does the cleaning and can see where trouble spots are to address them with you. I have not had to have any dental work done for myself and I trust him to help me keep it that way. My husband has had significant dental work done by Dr. Narhede. He has had no problems making appointments and getting estimates for work to be done prior to procedures. The doctor always gives him options and is working in conjunction with him to address non surgical issues. The office is immaculately clean. Currently it is going though a bit of a remodel to freshen the place up. Though there is still a hint of 80s styling. Which at this point we can just call Retro and accept it. I was weary of taking our almost 3 year old to see him. Not because of him but because of the not necessarily kid environment. I have gone to kid dentist offices with the themes and bright colors. His is not like that. BUT the staff has always been so personable and Dr. Narkhede has a great friendly personality that it seemed silly not to go there for her first appointment. And it went great. The staff showed her where mommy got her teeth cleaned first so when it was her turn she sat right where mommy did. He didn't push her and went with what she would let him do to look at her teeth. I am glad I did it and know I have a partner in helping me keep her healthy. I don't like going to the dentist and if it was not for my husband I would not go regularly. I am glad when he makes me it is Dr. Narkhade so I don't feel like I am wasting my time. read more

Excellent implant surgeon - good, confident and friendly. Dr. Narkhede was recommended to me by my dentist for an implant that involved bone grafting. He is one of the best judging from his education, certification, professional awards, and experience. I was very happy with his work and conduct. Beside dental implanting, he does cosmetic dentistry. read more

See all

No second guessing here. I have been seeing Dr. Narkehede for over 10 years now and I can honestly say he is hands down the best dentist around. Dr Narkhede is a perfectionist and very skilled with state of the art equipment. From basic dental procedures to cleanings, implants, dentures etc., Dr. Narkhede does it all. Ayeshah the office assistant is a sweetheart and really does her part by making you feel well cared for. I highly recommend Dr. Narkehede. He made me smile again!!! read more

I was referred to Dr. Narkhede by my current dentist when it became apparent I would need more specialized dental services. Initially I went to have a single dental implant to replace an infected tooth that had to eventually be extracted. I was expecting a long, tedious 6 - 12 month period of going through a typical dental implant process. However, Dr. Narkhede shortened this period of time substantially by combining several procedures to have completed into just over a couple of visits. In the end, this saved me both time and money. I'm always impressed by the state of the art technology Dr. Narkhede utilizes in his office and how quickly & efficiently he's able to generate x-rays, scans, photographs, and 3D renderings. It is obvious that he's one of the top professionals in his area of expertise. On top of all else, Dr. Narkhede is always honest and upfront about the costs of different treatments as well as whether or not they're covered by my insurance. Truly appreciate his professionalism and his kind, caring demeanor. His sense of humor always keeps the atmosphere very light and makes patients feel much more at ease. I would definitely recommend Dr. Narkhede to anyone seeking the highest level of dental services. read more

Dr. Narkhede is a great dentist. I would highly recommend him, and have. He is very fair, caring, funny, and completes service with compassion and does what he can to limit and sometimes eliminate pain from procedures. He works fast but conscientiously. Very clean office is a major plus! read more
