Friendly office staff, back office and doctor wonderful always making you feel comfortable fast and reassuring I was afraid of going to dentist and dr Avakian made me feel very comfortable and reassuring of my dental needs definitely recommend to patients that are afraid of going to the dentist read more

I was given a great exam and the dentist told me everything I needed to know to achieve better gum health.

When I first called her to establish new patient care I was greeted with a kind, and VERY helpful front desk staff, listened to all my dental health concerns and helped me get into the office faster than expected. As I arrived to my first appointment it immediately felt like this was the right choice for my next Professional Dental Care! Clean and spacious waiting area, and was taken to the back promptly. I am not a big fan of the dentist but the Dr and assistant were gentle and gave me a real informative response in what my next steps are going to be. Definitely recommend Professional Dental Care read more

I had a particularly difficult crown to repair. Dr Avakian went above and beyond to get it repaired. He is extremely knowledgeable, creative, caring & patient. I have been a patient for 14 years. Come to Professional Dental Care if you want this kind of care. read more

Dr. Avakian and his staff are amazing. I have high anxiety going to the dentist and each time I have a great experience. Just let them know how you're feeling and they will ensure you don't feel any pain on any procedure. The Dr. Is very thorough and has your best interest. Also, they do a great job whitening your teeth! read more

Dr. Avakian has been my dentist for 20+ years at this point. He always has made me feel incredibly well taken care of -- both treating my urgent needs and helping me care for my oral health in the long run. Professional Dental Care is a best in class practice in Fresno with incredibly smart and caring staff. They do their best to get you in when you need to be seen. I'm also super impressed by Dr. Avakian's commitment to furthering his education and staying on top of leading treatments and technologies. Not to mention -- the office is stunning! read more

Doctor always explains what's going on with your teeth so you can make informed decisions. Margaret is a gem! I highly recommend them!

11/2/23 I had a veneer pop off and need a check up. Set up appointment with info submitted to go & cover. Arrived for appointment & checked in. Brought the veneer that popped off too! Thank Glad it was on the side. Lol! The worker at check in was great! Very kind & welcoming! Safe, clean & practiced! Waited in the very nice reception area to be called back to meet the dentist. Called back & an assistant took X-rays. Dentist came shortly later. Veneer couldn't be put back on. I'll need a new one. The assistant gave me a quote shortly later. Definitely pricey! They had me sign that I saw to replace it would be $1350. Good assistants were kind. I wished the dentist was more so. I have a hard time with dentists as it is, given past experience. It would've been nice if he actually showed he cared to get my teeth right. He didn't. =( To be honest, he didn't make me feel comfortable to even want to talk to him. Good assistants and nice office! read more

See all

I called this office before my appointment and was told that the cost would be $175 for X-rays and a filling. Based on that information, I came in and paid $175 in cash. During my visit, the filling was not performed, but I was still charged the full $175. When I asked for a correction, the staff said I "misheard," and they refused to adjust the price or offer a credit. While the X-rays and evaluation were done, the billing was misleading, and I do not feel the office honored what I was told. I cannot recommend this office for those who want clear, honest pricing. read more

I am beyond upset with how my daughter was treated at her new patient appointment today. First off, the hygienist made a completely unprofessional comment, saying "I didn't think it was going to be this bad" while referring to my daughter -- right in front of her! Then the dentist asked her if she could close her mouth, and when she said, "No, it hurts," the dentist responded, "I swear I saw you close it." Not only was this dismissive and rude, but at no point did anyone even ask her about her pain or try to understand what she was feeling. She was belittled to the point she called me in tears after the appointment because of how they treated her. The only positive thing she mentioned was that the front office receptionist was kind and helpful -- but sadly that was the only good part of the visit. I would absolutely NOT recommend this office to anyone. No child should be treated this way. I should have taken her to Fresno Dental Professionals, where patients are treated with care and respect. Very disappointed. read more

Professional Dental Care amazing with amazing staff.. Corina is one of the best hygienist. She is very patient and friendly. She explains everything to me and lets me know on areas I need to work on when it comes to my teeth. The front office staff does a wonderful job with scheduling and working around my schedule. One of the best offices is Fresno read more

I love coming here. dentist always makes sure i dont feel any pain. The ladies at the front desk are so friendly . Same with the dentist assistants who help me:) read more

Our family of 4 has gone here for many years now. Consistently good care and they've encouraged good dental hygiene practices that have improved our gum/tooth health. read more

The staff is very kind, courteous, patient & understanding. Especially knowing that most people don't like going to the dentist but I was very comfortable as they took care to be gentle & explain every procedure before hand. The Dr was also very nice & took the time I needed to get to a point where I felt at ease before proceeding with my treatment. read more

I typically never leave real reviews unless a place is either terrible in every which way, or they're amazing.. and Dr Avakian's office is AWESOME. I've been through multiple other dentists office here in Fresno and they have all been pretty terrible for a laundry list of valid reasons which gave me a pretty bad outlook and overall anxiety when it came to finding a proper dentists office, but Professional Dental has been nothing but great so far. Not just that but Professional, prompt, quick, painless, no troubles getting scheduled for multiple significant dental procedures within 1 week, and also scheduling apts for my family as well. Whereas I have a million valid complaints about a lot of other dentists office's, I have not a single one so far with this place. And my big struggle was finding an office that accepted medi-cal(Anthem), so that's a huge plus. Literally left with a smile. Awesome place. read more

I wrote this review eight years ago on Google Review. And I stand by this review today. This dentist is outstanding for me and my children. I discontinued his services due to insurance reasons, but the first chance I had to return, I did. He is friendly and patient and explains all services. He is excellent with children. You won't have to wait months to get an appointment. Your appointments are punctual, expedient, and he doesn't keep you in the chair hours after being called. He takes insurance, but dental work is expensive, so expect high prices, but fair. Dental work is expensive anywhere you go recently. The receptionist is always helpful in giving you an estimate in advance so there are no surprises at the end of the appointment. Excellent customer service by ALL staff, from the receptionist to Dental Technicians. Stop! Don't go any further; You've found your new Dentist. read more

it's been almost one year since I've had my teeth done, my review hasn't changed and this man should LOSE HIS PRACTICE, my teeth are in worse shape now then they were before him. My insurance won't allow me new crowns because they are only covered once every 5 years, so I have to pay 100% out of pocket to have a new dentist fix this awful man's work. Save your teeth and money and go somewhere else. I will be filling a complaint against this office. Original post: THIS DENTIST IS A FRAUD. This office is negligent in the care of their patients. Save you money and your oral Heath. I paid this office nearly $3000 to correct/care for some crowns and fillings. The first couple were good porcelain fused to metal crowns. However when it came to pulling my wisdom tooth I was awake for the entire procedure crying in pain and he just kept saying "your doing good" "almost done" and then broke half the tooth my my month and sent me home. Never when back to fix or remove the rest of it. THIS ISNT EVEN THE WORST PART. When I went in again to get the next crown done unlike the other I had done by him I was in an extreme amount of pain for the two weeks I had the temporary crown on, his office basically did nothing and kept saying "it's normal to feel some pain" but I explained it wasn't like the last two crowns I had done by him a month prior. It felt like I got shot in the month, I went in a few times and he just said "once you get the permanent crown, the pain should go away" fast forward to the day my permanent crown came in, I'm in a lot of pain and I'm expressing this to him and he goes "what you think you need a root canal" - me not being a dentist I said "I don't know your the dentist you tell me" and he just continues to place the crown. The pain only got worse from here and his office got more disrespectful, I ended up going back to his office again because the pain was so bad and he wouldn't even look at the tooth, he just told me to go find and endo, and refused to be helpful. He then dropped me as a patient mid treatment and IN PAIN. Fast forward, I ended up needing a root canal that should have been done before that crown was placed. This is the most negligence I've ever experienced with a dental office. This could've been avoided. Had he listen to me, but he did not care, and because of this, the brand new crown that I had placed that was tooth colored is ruined, because they had to drill into it to CORRECT this office is negligence. and since it was a porcelain fuse to metal I now have a metal spot showing on my tooth which completely defeated the purpose of getting a crown in the first place. Do not go to this doctor if you value your oral health. And even worse I can't get a new crown to replace this because this dentist refuse to refund the crown they messed up on through insurance. You don't deserve any stars, Dr. Avakian, you are the worst dentist I have ever met. read more

This dentist said I had cavities and almost every tooth I went there. He started working on three teeth, which he completely damaged and two weeks later I'm still in pain. I went to two other dentist paid out-of-pocket this time and I don't have cavities in every teeth. Matter fact right now said this dentist screwed up my three teeth that he claims he fixed. This dentist is very disrespectful and I've never had a dentist use so much pressure on my teeth. Also, the lady in the office really has no class. read more

I woke up one morning with one of my wisdom teeth coming in and causing a lot of pain and discomfort. I was able to schedule an appointment the following day and had it taken care of right then and there. I was quite nervous and unsettled, but Dr. Avakian and his colleagues were extremely understanding, gracious, and professional. The procedure went smoothly, and they sent me home with specific instructions for recovery. I came back for a follow-up the next week and was very happy to learn everything healed up nicely. This was certainly not an experience I was looking forward to but ended up being quite pleasant and very effective. During both visits, we were greeted by two kind, lovely receptionists at the front desk. I would highly recommend Dr. Avakian and his team for all dental needs! read more

Staff is very nice and accommodating. They are Professional and timely. They help my mom with her new dentures. Thanks for helping us getting her dentures in time for her birthday meal! read more

I've came here for the first time with my sibling (both our first time). I got my cleaning and cavities filled and the doctor drilled too deep hurting my tooth causing a lot of pain and I came back several times to fix it but they couldn't do anything. Disappointing! But my sibling got braces with them so I'm the one who takes him to the appointments and there is always a problem I see with other patients. One time the lady in the front desk was so rude to this old man. The way she was talking to him shocked me! I do not recommend coming here!! Please look for another dentist!! read more

I have been to Dr. Avakian for one visit so far and am quite impressed. I have a general anxiety that gets heightened at the thought of going to the dentist and so when I made my appointment here I let them know. And let everyone I met with at my first appointment know. However, they were so friendly and comforting that (as painful as it was for me) I did not mind the appointment at all. I really like how they go over cost expectations at the first appointment and really take the time to talk to me, make sure that I was okay throughout the process, and get me set up as painless as possible. I would highly recommend this office for your dental needs! read more

I began seeing this dentist in October 21 at that time a treatment plan was done to see a Oral Surgeon for removal of teeth & dentures would be done. The oral surgeon finish their part of the work for the snap in dentures. I return back to Dr Avaikians office for further work. I had taken Dr Avaikians the hardware to put in the bottom dentures about 7 days prior to this appt. The day of the appt I get taken back Dr checks dentures & says they need to be adjusted/realigned, took them to the back where I could hear him working on them. A few minutes go by Dr comes in with Irene the office manager, they tell me "I'm maxed out of my insurance, I have to pay $442 to continue treatment that day". I looked at them both informed that I didn't have that kind of money & I have dental coverage, I'm not maxed out. Once again they inform me I was maxed out & need to pay. At that time I began crying, got emotionally upset bcus of this, told them "they can't leave me with no teeth that it wasn't right. I also told them as a office they had a responsibility to call my insurance verify my coverage, call me the nite before to tell me If I had a payment due at the time of services which they never did call me to tell me. Had they called me I could of got my mom or stepdad to loan me the money & would of been prepared for this visit. I informed them I was maxed out on my care credit until the oral surgeons office refunds me, if they could bill my insurance & me pay once my care credit was refunded they said no once again telling me I needed to have $442 to have the services completed. At this time I'm crying, hysterical, upset & I asked them again why they didn't call me to tell me I had to have this money for today & Irene's response was what difference would it of made if we called you. I had every right to be upset and the dentist told me to quiet down, let's discuss this. Well I'm crying I told them I have dental insurance & I'm not maxed out there's no way I am & to tell me now about having to pay $442 was uncalled for they should of called me the night before my appointment, Irene says "what difference would that of made" I looked at her, once again told her "I could of went to my mom or stepdad to loan me this money so it would of made a big difference. At that time still upset Dr says well do you want to continue with treatment today, I told him how does he expect me to pay them when I don't have the money so no I can't finish the treatment but what I was going to do was call my stepdad who's an Endodontist talk to him & he will guide me. I grabbed the bag of dentures, my purse, started walking through the hallway as Irene was following me yelling me "Cherice if your dad does does any work to the dentures we will no longer treat you"..bcus I was upset crying I didn't acknowledge her as I exited the front door shes still behind me yelling the same thing. So a few days pass I had talked to the Dentist Association who called them, talked to them about this situation. I called Irene wanting to find out the next step. Once again informed of the amount of $442 and I told her I call back after I see if I can get off work. So I have not been able to get off work due to call volume. On 2/23 I explained to my dad my mouth right side was sinking in & he said it was because I don't have my teeth in, my mom also tells me I had a letter come to the house. This morning on 2/24 I call my mom ask her to open my mail, she reads me the letter from this dental office saying they are no longer going to see me as a patient due to me creating hostile visit and being non compliant in my dental care. I am now left without teeth just a set of dentures. To find a provider to take on care in the middle of this work will be hard to do. All this mess is being blamed on me when it's their fault for not verifying my insurance correctly, telling me I'm maxed out of benefits for the year when I am not. This is unbelievable, unprofessional & they should be ashamed. I will be filing a claim against them with the Board of Dental & posting this for everyone to read. To no longer complete the work because of something they caused is unprofessional, this is not my fault. To chase me out the door yelling "if your dad works on the dentures or does anything to them they will no longer treat me". This place is unprofessional and I will never go back there again. This is sad how they left me. read more

Dr. Avakian and his staff have been extremely delightful. The thoroughness from Dr. Avakian and the customer service are what keeps me coming back. I learn something new every visit which helps me to make the best decision for my oral care needs. Thank you Dr. Avakian, Ravi, Mercedes, Margaret and Stacey! Keep up the great work!! read more

I love the staff, they've been amazing since day one. Why am I just writing my review now??? Because they go above and beyond for their patients. They take their time, very professional, very inviting, they explain in detail whatever the situation that came up. My favorite thing about the Professional Dental care office would most have to be that they took their time to tell me happy birthday, with a text and email. Not a lot of LOCAL businesses do that anymore. Thank you for making me feel special. read more

Called professional for a reason! Very clean and helpful! They care about your health.

I love it here! Avakian explains everything very thoroughly. People say places treat you different when you're on medi-cal but not this place! They treat me wonderful! I absolutely LOVE the lady that does all the deep cleaning! She's super helpful and patient! I am definitely glad I chose this place! read more

This office is the best office i have been to by far. I have been here for a few years and they are awesome! Great and quick service and great dental advice read more

Second time coming to this dental office and would highly recommend. Clean office with great service! Dr. Is extremely thorough and demonstrates genuine care for your oral health! read more

Here are some high level points; not going into details! - My tooth wasn't hurting but lost filling and needed to clean and "refill", dr went on and on on how irresponsible I am! even though I told him I brush my teeth every day and floss few times a week. When I asked him how I can take care of my teeth better than this, he said he doesn't know what I'm doing to make them this bad! I never heard this from any dentist before! - His staff took xtrays, and before he looks at my actual tooth, he said I needed implant and it would be done somewhere else and it will cost this and that. then he saw my tooth and said it needs extraction and might need to be done somewhere else. (I don't know how this could be a full service clinic" He, again, went on an on about how bad my teeth are and that there's nothing that can be done to save them. yet, he wanted to do deep cleaning using my insurance. - I reached the car and then they knocked on my window to ask me if I can come back to take more xrays for the deep cleaning request to insurance. (I'm pregnant and they already took one xray) I said ok because I was really down and felt like I'm in a very bad situation re my teeth. I went back in to hear a heated discussion between him and his staff whether it's safe to take these xrays or not. they eventually did take them. - I went out of there feeling really bad. I'm pregnant and I had to go through all of this, especially the unprofessional treatment and the way the dentist put me down instead of assuring me that everything can be fixed and I need to do this and that to take extra care of my teeth. and maybe tell me it's normal to have weak teeth during pregnancy. etc. I searched online and went to another dentist who fixed my root canal and saved my tooth and did the filling and my tooth is working well now! I could have extracted my tooth if I listened to Dr. Artashes. No offense but maybe he's used to patients with perfect teeth? read more

Love the people here. They worked hard to get me approved for my deep cleaning. Glad I came here.

Where do I start....... This dentist office is by far the best I've ever experienced and I will now go only to this dental office for LIFE!!! Dr. Avakian isn't not only very professional very good at what he does and funny but he's a great kind human being and that's rare these days that you feel welcome and comfortable at the dentist but that's exactly what it's like at his dentist office!! I felt no pain with cavity and deep cleaning work I actually almost fell asleep cause of how gentle the whole experience was and for that I'm very grateful to Dr. Avakian and his amazing staff including but not limited to Robbie she's amazing funny and kind and it's honestly amazing to have a good time at the dentist!! So I highly recommend Professional Dental Care for all your dental needs they're simply the best in town hands down!!! A++ 10/10!! 5 Stars 2 Thumbs up!!! read more

I've been Dr. Avakian's patient for more than 6 years. He's very kind, carrying, takes as much as time as you need, and answers all your questions. The staff is very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. They always try to accommodate all your appointments. Before seeing Dr. Avakian, I was told by other dentists that my case is very hard and they cannot align my teeth with invisilign, but Dr. Avakian made it possible, and the results exceeded my expectations. I also had a lot of other treatments, and never had problem with any of it. I can thank Dr. Avakian for the beautiful and healthy teeth that I have. read more

The staffs are super friendly. Love the dental assistants. They are courteous & always made sure i was satisfied w/their work. Appointments are easy to make & waiting time is short. Dr. Avakian would tell me what is to be expected & would check to see if i was doing ok. He would differentiate the times when i should feel some discomfort & when i should not feel pain, & if i did to let him know immediately. I like how he doesnt push anything on you. He offers suggestion & what he thinks is right for you. The office is nice & clean btw. I highly recommend. Fyi, no walk-ins...only by appointment. read more

Dr. Avakian is a genius with teeth. I trust no one else to touch my teeth but him. I went without dental care for a long period of time yet he saved my tooth and fit me with a crown. read more

Dr Avakian has been a great dentist to my mom. Brought her in for some dentures. He and his staff have been magnificent and we are very happy. Their service and attention to detail is above the rest. read more
