I came to see Dr Bakhtari for an initial consultation. He was strongly recommended by my wife. I couldnt believe the level of care I received from Dr B. He was very personable, kind and PREPARED! I was surprised that he knew my case well, and was able to figure out the problem RIGHT AWAY. He gave a lot of recommendations that will be very helpful for my treatment. My case is not simple but Dr B also assured that it can be fixed without the extras and unnecessary services. To see a dentist that knows what his doing, confident, competent, someone that truly cares, is really rare these days! It was truly an amazing experience and he made me feel at ease. He is a gifted doctor and cant thank him enough for all thr advice he gave! I would totally trust him with my ortho care. Cant wait to see him again after I see my surgeon. Thank you so much, Dr B!! read more

I came to get a consultation at the beginning of this year for Invisalign. I've shopped around to a couple of other orthodontists and they all took X-rays and talked to me about how Invisalign's work, and a plan for me, etc....then after all that gave me a quote for the work. At this office the dr just sat me down and listened to my concerns but no X-rays. He said he can just do the top teeth. I then got a quote for 5K+ for the work. How could he give me a quote without knowing the real scope of the work that needs to be done? The dr and staff are very nice. But the way the quote was given to me without examination and X-rays I had to walk away and go with another dr. read more

Amazing staff!!! Great care and great quality of work. Super friendly, punctual and flexible.

Wow, where to begin! I didn't wear my retainer for a while and my teeth shifted so I wanted a new retainer. I found Dr. B right here on Yelp and chose to go to him because he does digital impressions instead of those awful gooey suction impressions. When I called the office the ladies were so informative and accommodating (I changed my appointment three times). I went today and was surprised that Dr B actually saw me since it was just a retainer. He was so kind and gentle. He adjusted my retainer to help straighten the shifting and we came up with a plan to upgrade to an Invisalign retainer once my teeth are corrected. I was so happy and relieved and I wasn't even charged for the visit. The office is clean and he very obviously educated with modern technology. I'll be recommending him to everyone I can! Seriously impressed! read more

Dr. B and Erica are literally the best orthodontic providers on Earth. I was referred by a friend and my case wasn't too difficult but Dr. B and Erica made me feel like family and now my teeth look amazing. They truly care about their patients and I'm glad I chose this office for my care. I also read two other reviews below that had one star and those have to be fake. Just read all of the other reviews and you will see why so many people are happy they chose Dr. B, Erica, and the team at Riviera Orthodontics! read more

My profile picture says it all. Dr. B and Erica are amazing orthodonists, I'm extremely happy I was referred to them. I drive nearly an hour away from my home just to get treated by this man. Just over 1 year ago were ugly, filled with gaps and overbite. Today, I look amazing. I would've never thought that a day would come where I take such pride in how my teeth look. All I have to say is thank you, Dr. B. For the amazing work! If you're looking for an orthodonist, look no further. You've found the right one. If you want your teeth to look amazing, and want to be treated like family, then go to Riviera Orthodonics. Dr. B and his team will go through the most extreme lengths to make sure you are satisfied! read more

Dr. B and his team are the best!!! My oldest son had crowding issues with his teeth, and we were so lucky to have found Riviera Orthodontics. From the initial consult to all the subsequent appointments, they have made getting/having braces so easy and manageable! They provide simply amazing service, and their COVID protocol is on point. They are always accommodating! Dr. B uses the latest technology and will always give you his honest opinion and feedback...he doesn't pressure or try to sell you on something you don't need. And did I mention that my son's teeth look fantastic? Needless to say, I'll be taking my younger son to see him for a consult soon. Thank you again Dr. B, Erika, and Christy! read more

Amazing service! I had my braces done by another orthodontist but I wish I had it done here. My permanent retainer/wire came undone 3 times, all of which accumulate in cost to get it repaired. After considering getting the wire repaired or removing it altogether, Dr. B was kind enough to lay out pricing and options through a Yelp message. Given it was close to work, I made an appointment to get the broken wire removed and make a mold for a removable retainer instead. It was done within 20-30 minutes and I was able to pick up the retainer within 3 days! Amazing!! Staff is also incredibly friendly and great at communication, and the fees are much more affordable than other quotes I've gotten around the area. Thank you so much!! Will come back if I need another retainer- highly recommend! read more

I would give 6 stars, if the option existed. Dr. B and his team are wonderful. Even though I have been very cautious about going places during COVID, I had no concerns/hesitations about getting a check up at this office. It is clean and they clearly prioritize safety and cleanliness. There is usually no wait, and the entire team is so personable, yet professional. During my first visit, Dr. B presented me with all the options to achieve my goals. I felt well informed and am very happy with the outcome after choosing Invisalign. read more

Still the best place to continue or start your orthodontist treatment. Erika is always so courteous and professional as always. They really are one amazing team! Looking forward to no longer having braces. But will definitely miss coming to see them once a month. Thanks guys! :-] read more

We LOVE Riviera Orthodontics! Our primary dentist referred us to R.O. for our daughter who desperately needed braces. Freya in the front office was so awesome and explained everything to us. After the initial consultation, I felt this was the place for us. After getting her braces on, my daughter told me that she "loved" the staff and the doctor, and said they were great with her. That made me so happy, because I never want her to have a fear of the dentist. ** Very warm staff ** Friendly dentist Dr. Bakhtari was just great with my daughter and very professional ** Clean office (this is so important) Highly recommended! read more

Amazing. We couldn't find a time for me to come in that worked with my schedule so they made an exception to open the office on a Saturday just for me. Helped me choose an option that would suit my needs, budget and lifestyle. Even offered to play music of my choice during the procedure. Clean, kind, professional and affordable. read more

Before making my decision to get braces as an adult, I met with three different orthodontists and visited their offices. During my initial consultation with Dr Bakhtari I immediately had a sense that I would be back because I felt right at home. I did my homework before starting my search and was impressed with Dr. Bakhtari's knowledge and professionalism. I had many questions which he patiently answered. He also explained my options; traditional braces, ceramic braces, Invisalign, etc...and shared the pros and cons of each. The icing on the cake was the price for the service! Another plus I have to mention is his assistant, Erika, she's the most courteous and capable medical professional I've come across in a long time. If you're considering braces for your children or yourself, you will not be disappointed if you check out Riviera Orthodontics. Consultations are free! read more

Dr. Bakhtari is extremely nice and knowledgable. He takes his time to answer all my questions and explains every step of the process. You never feel like he is rushing or in a hurry. The office is very clean and looks great. The staff if friendly and is accommodating around my busy schedule. Our family is very satisfied with Riviera Orthodontics. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for great results, friendly customer service and affordable prices. read more

I went to see Dr. Bahktari this morning and although he isn't a general dentist (mistake on insurance website), he was extremely courteous and took a quick look anyway. He and his office assistant are very friendly and I was impressed with both of them! read more

I had the best experience with Dr.B and Erika! They completed my orthodontic procedure earlier than expected and were super informative and supportive through out the process. Dr. B pays very close attention to detail and truly cares about his patients. I was a transfer case to Dr. B's office and after months of looking for the right orthodontist I can safely say that Dr. B is the best in all of LA! read more

From start to finish Dr Bahktari and Erika have been amazing. Professional, talented, genuinely kind people, who's focus really is on getting the best results. Text message reminders the day before an appointment is awesome and they are flexible with appointments. My 14 year old never missed any school for appointments.

Riviera Orthodontics - Just got my first Invisalign treatment this week and I cannot wait! Thank you Dr. B :) - Orthodontists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

After interviewing 3 Orthodontists in Southbay, I decided to go with Dr. Bakhtari for my adult traditional braces. I had a severe tooth rotation that I was most worried about and he had some example photos of dealing with that. From the initial placement to adjustments and follow-up, Erika and Dr. B have been great. They are highly skilled, have a delicate touch and are friendly and personable. The office is clean and neat. Scheduling was straightforward. I'd highly recommend Riviera Orthodontics for braces. read more

Both my daughters had to get braces and I was looking for the best orthodontist. I am happy to say I found the right place. Dr.B and Erica are a great team, they always welcomed us with a positive smile and gave us honest feedback. They are always a message or phone call away if you need them. I have and will recommend everyone to this place, not only my daughters had a perfect end result but also it fit in my budget. Thank you Dr. Bakhtari! read more

After several years of intense teeth grinding, I broke my trusty retainer (literally cracked part of it off). Dr. Bakhtari gave me several options, such a getting a new nightguard made or getting the retainer repaired for a much cheaper fee as a short term solution. Chose the latter for now to save some cash, but when it breaks again I'll be back to get the nightguard made. They even offered to credit part of the fee for the retainer repair to the nightguard. Overall, a small, proffesional office that seems more than willing to work with you on any sort of orthodontic problem. Also did a great job of tightening up my retainers. read more

Dr. Bakhtari was a true godsend for me! I had had a permanent retainer for fifteen years until it started to break apart. Then I had a wire pop out on one side and I couldn't eat easily anymore, plus the wire was super sharp and uncomfortable. My old orthodontist refused to see me for nearly a week, despite me explaining the urgency of the matter. My dentist then recommended Dr. Bakhtari. I was able to get in to see him immediately. He was so kind and caring. He removed my old retainer in no time at all and I could not be more thankful. He will be my orthodontist for any future issues. I can't recommend him more! read more

I highly recommend Dr. B and his team! I felt very safe regarding all things covid when I went in for my appointments. I decided to do invisalign but was worried because I live in Santa Barbara. Dr. B made sure I had nothing to worry about and set up a plan so I don't have to drive for an appointment all the time. Great office, very professional, safe covid standards. Two thumbs up! read more

I needed new retainers and decided to check out Dr. Bakhtari's. Him and his assistant were very professional and pleasant and laid out all my options with no pressure.

My daughter has been begging for braces for the past six months. Not only for cosmetic reasons but her malaligned teeth were now causing her pain. After a consultation with a different orthodontist that I felt was just trying to up sell me the whole time, I sought another alternative. I was referred to Dr. Bakhtari's office by a family friend and knew from the first phone call they had a much different approach to orthodontics. The office manager is friendly, professional and informative. Dr. Bakhtari was very knowledgeable and took his time with us to discuss my daughters needs. My daughter felt very comfortable with their staff and is super excited to start her braces soon. Our many thanks to Riviera Orthodontics! read more

I just created an account to give him a review. My treatment became a nightmare. My teeth looked even worse than before. I feel like an idiot trusting this doctor. If I could, I would put my picture on his wall. Please be cautious when selecting your health care providers. read more

As a dental assistant I'm very picky when it comes to people working on my teeth, i did my research and found Dr.Bahktari. So I decided to check him out.. The consultation was simple and right to the point, and I was always greeted with a smile and a sincere welcome on every appointment. Now that my treatment is completed I can honestly say I made the right choice and I'm so happy with my results. So if you want amazing results I recommend you check him out!! read more

I am truly grateful to have Dr. Bakhtari as my orthodontist. I have wanted braces for the past 15 years but never really got to it. I found Dr. Bakhtari on yelp. Five stars clear across the board. I figured I would give him a shot. Just making the appt with the receptionist was great. Ginger was very nice and not pushy about making any appointments. That's what made me feel comfortable. I ended up making an appointment and finally met Dr. B. He was extremely nice, knowledgeable, respectful and well mannered. During the consultation he explained all the craziness that was going on with my teeth thoroughly. He told me exactly what needed to be done and how long treatment would take. I felt completely at ease. Right then and there I knew i wanted Dr. Bakhtari as my orthodontist. I made an appointment and a week later I got braces. You would think after you get your braces they would forget about you until your next appointment. Not Dr. B. the next day was a Saturday and i got a courtesy message from him. He asked how the first night was and how I was feeling and if there was anything I needed. I was like "wow" this guy is awesome. He actually cares for his patients. Even today, almost 2 weeks later, I get a letter from him saying welcome to his practice and thanks for choosing riviera orthodontist. There was even the picture I remember taking with him when he first put my braces on. This man is truly awesome!! He is also definitely military friendly. I am an active duty soldier with 11 years of service. I definitely recommend Dr. Bakhtari to all. I will be taking my daughter to him when it's time for her braces. If your reading this, thanks for all u do Dr. B. see you in a couple weeks for my next appt. Sean K. read more

Daughter #1 just got her braces off! Couldn't be happier with the results or the personal care of Dr. Bakhtari's office! Highly recommend!!

My son came home from college for winter break and the wire that keeps his lower teeth from shifting came loose. His orthodontist was away on vacation so we had to find help fast. My son's DDS, Dr. Will Weston, recommended Dr. Bakhtari so I called and left a message hoping he might see us after the New Year holiday. Dr. B. called back immediately saying he was in working on another patient and that we could come in an hour. Wow!!! I can see why he gets such great reviews. Thanks Dr. Bakhtari! read more

We visited two other ortho practices before settling on this one and I am very pleased that we did. Dr. Bakhtari offers the latest in treatment options, the office is in a great location, they are pleasant to work with, and overall, I trust the doc's knowledge and practice. read more

Would give Dr. B and Erika 10 stars if I could! I just recently finished my Invisalign case with them and let me tell you my case was not easy. I was told my another ortho that I could in no way do Invisalign and needed 7 teeth pulled and maybe my jaw cranked for my overbite!!!! I went and saw Dr.B and right away I was approved for Invisalign (and only a baby tooth that was still there in my late 20s pulled). I saw 6 different orthodontist and knew riviera orthodontics was definitely the place I needed to be. They are so warm and friendly and actually make it a point to get to know you. I am so beyond impressed with the way my teeth have turned out. I hated smiling before and now I can't stop. I can't thank Dr.B and Erika enough. They know what they are doing. Originally our plan was 2 years of Invisalign. Got it done in exactly a year and a half with a year of bands and my smile is pretty damn near perfect. Any time I needed help they were there. Even staying late for me once or twice. I would and do recommend them to anyone. You definitely won't go wrong with them!! read more

Dr. Bakhtari treated me when I needed braces and I couldn't be happier with the results. He was patient, kind, and always took time to make sure I was comfortable. My brother will be needing braces soon and I only trust Dr. B to do the work. I highly recommend Dr. Bakhtari! read more
