Excellent Dentist. The closest you will ever get to a pain-free experience. They genuinely cares about you as a patient. The staff uses the latest technology to deliver up-to-date dental care with superior results. I can't say enough good things about this team. They are true professional. read more

I had my first appointment yesterday and was more than pleased. Everyone was so kind and friendly. Dr Mahallati has this great smile and is very gentle and honest. My previous dentist wanted to charge me $3247 for 2 crowns and a cavity as my copay with Delta Dental Medicare Advantage Plus. I investigated what my copay should have been which was $937. With that I decided to change dentists. However, when Dr Mahallati examined me he said I didn't need 2 crowns and didn't have a cavity. Obviously, my previous dentist was a scammer. I feel so fortunate to have found Dr Mahallati & Lisa his assistant. I highly recommend them. read more

The ladies at this practice were lovely and so friendly. I was so grateful to have a broken tooth fixed with a crown so easily in one day and luckily it was affordable and best of all it looks great I can't comment on the recovery and pain yet as the anesthetic has not yet worn off read more

Priceless dental care! What an amazing staff including Dentists, Dr. Linda Pearce and Dr. Mahallati. Thank you for helping me maintain a beautiful smile as well as outstanding dental treatment. Kevin S. read more

Very knowledgeable dentist and her staff. They explain procedures so you're not nervous. You can tell they enjoy their work and that's a good sign if you ask me. read more

As someone that recently got off their mom's insurance and has never had to look yet alone book my own dental appointments, I found myself a little nervous! After looking what was in my area and finding wonderful reviews about this place, I decided to give it a chance. AND AM SO HAPPY I DID! I am currently writing this review after my first appointment, and could not have had a better experience! From the first phone call, I had a good feeling about this place. Gina, who works at the front desk, was very friendly over the phone. She helped me book my first appointment and was very clear about what to bring as a new patient (paperwork, proof of insurance, etc). She was very thorough about everything and even mentioned the $15 copay (which I found out through fellow Yelp reviews is in effect because of COVID protocols). I booked an appointment at 9AM opening. When I arrived, there were a handful of other people in the waiting room. I was at first disheartened because I assumed I would be waiting a long time.. but I was wrong! They called in each person in a matter of minutes. Upon getting in, I was so impressed by the cleanliness and size of the space! Everything looked so clean, modern, and up-to-date! There were (I think) 5 rooms in the back. What I loved was that each patient I had seen previously in the waiting room was already being helped. It was evident to me that this facility is adequately staffed which was wonderful to see. I was also pleasantly surprised by all the technology (which was quite a change from my old dentist) and a big bonus...the walls were decorated with vintage Disney plates! The Disney freak in me screamed internally and to top it all off, I was coincidentally wearing a Mickey sweater. I was told that the doctor had been collecting these plates for years and I just knew in that moment..I made the right choice haha I was helped by Bonnie..and my goodness, she was so nice and friendly! She explained everything thoroughly to me. She sat me down and she pulled up a desktop computer. They have one in each room and I love how transparent they are about what they are doing. I watched her pull up the program they use to login and display patient information and was very impressed by the program's UI and organization. It was a well-designed program and it became clear in that moment that this facility was top-notch. She pulled up my file and I could see everything she was seeing on the computer. She eventually took me to another room to take my x-rays and she was very gentle and efficient. Afterwards, I watched her spray and clean everything down! It was also evident that this facility takes COVID protocols very seriously (she even offered me hand sanitizer when I sat down and had me do a hydrogen-peroxide/mouthwash rinse). When I got back to the chair, she showed me my x-rays on the computer and took my blood pressure. She commented on my good blood pressure and asked if I was a runner (*bonus points for the free compliment haha). She said the doctor would be in shortly and he sure was! Dr. Mahallati was kind, efficient, and clear! He said my teeth and gums looked good (HOORAY)! He explained everything to me and then had me go back to the front to book my next appointment for a cleaning. I had such a wonderful first experience at this facility! It's kind of weird to say...but I am excited for my next dental appointment! Everyone was incredibly friendly and knowledgable. It is evident that this facility is extremely professional and holds itself to a high standard. I do think the $15 office visit charge could dissuade people from coming here, but I have to say that for the experience I had, I would gladly pay $15. Highly recommend this business and can't wait for more visits! read more

Dr Pearce is awesome, her hygienists are great, thumbs up! Quick, efficient and super nice and supportive

Entire staff was completely professional. I could not be more pleased with my experience, throughmultiple visits

Greatest dentist ever! I've been going there for 22 years, and I plan on staying! Thanks, Bay Dental!

Dr. Mahallati has been our family's dentist for 19 years. Not only is he skilled and always improving and integrating best technology for the practice, he creates a culture of care, customer service and integrity among his staff. They have fun. They respect one another. And they care about each other and the patients. We love this dentistry! read more

Bay Dental does such an outstanding job. I had two Cerac crowns put in and didn't feel much pain. They do an outstanding job with numbing up if you need it. Angie does an incredible job with cleaning teeth. She is super gentle and fun to talk with. I would highly recommend Bay Dental. Dr. Pearce does an outstanding job is really gentle. Book your appointment today. read more

I've stuck around with this dentist for a while because their staff is pretty awesome. They really did a great job at finding a good mix of people that genuinely care about their patients and workplace. It's pretty clean here and they take their time to explain the process of everything. I had fillings, x-rays, and cleanings done here. Never had any pain or pressure to do anything I didn't want. I even came here while pregnant and they took extra precautions to protect my belly from x-rays and not inject too much anesthesia to harm my baby. Tip: If you're pregnant, they require an approval note from your dr. Get this before going into your appointment or they'll just turn you away. read more

Best dentist ever!!! I've been coming here for 7 plus years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Dr. Mahallati is a genius at his craft. He's always making sure everything is okay and you are comfortable before starting any procedures. The staff here (Gina, Sergio, Bonnie, Holly & Jo) are so friendly and very professional. I'd recommended first timers or anybody to come by here and you'll never have to look elsewhere once you leave this place. read more

After seeking a 4th opinion I decided to go with a different route of treatment. Root canal and crown all for fraction of what the dentist suggested, a tooth implant for $3500.00 Per my Endodontis determine there was no tooth cracked. While been told that I need it this implant done asap. Have it done that day. That put a lot of presume and worry on me. Thank good I seek other opinions. I will have hope for options not go with the most expensive course of treatment. With the CT scan I was told my the dentis that it was to fit the implant not to confirm diagnosis. That if I decided not to have the implant done I will still have to pay for the CT scan... Its a bit disappointing since this was the first dentist I really like. Wont be coming back. read more

Shahin Mahallati, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me

My childhood dentist recently retired, so I had to look for a new one nearby. I went in today for a teeth cleaning. Because I was a new patient, I had to have an X-ray exam. I was really impressed with my experience. I am one who is at the dentist's rather frequently from braces to teeth cleaning to fillings. I have never been anywhere that was so thorough. It was not rushed like many experiences I've had with other dentists. The dental hygienist took her time cleaning my teeth and did not hurt me at all. All of the staff members are very amiable and helpful. This was also the first dentist to recommend something for my sensitive teeth, a prescription strength toothpaste that I am excited to try. I also received a lot of compliments on my teeth from the staff, which was very nice to hear lol read more

There is so much to say, so I will try to be concise. I am so impressed with Bay Dental & Dr Mahallati, that my wife & all of my children come here. EVERYONE on his staff are incredible, and that really makes a real difference. Not to mention that Dr Mahallati has ALWAYS been accommodating, patient, flexible, and thorough in all of my years that I have been coming to him. I recommend anyone who asks, to go to Bay Dental. Thank you for such a wonderful & satisfying experience. read more

Today was my first check up in years and I am so glad I chose Bay Dental to start getting back on track with my oral health. The staff are beyond welcoming very nice polite and friendly. The whole office space from front desk to the back rooms are thoroughly clean from top to bottom. The doctor and hygienist are amazing and truely take their time with you I had the best cleaning I've ever experienced today and the best part is I am not in pain ! I got a very extensive and thorough cleaning but because it was done with care and time I was not once hurt and my mouth doesn't feel sore at all. I actually was ready to fall asleep in the chair, that's how comfortable and soothing the whole process was ! Needless to say I have found my dentist I can see myself sticking to for the next years to come. Thank you Bay Dental ! read more

Talk about being professional! I was VERY VERY impressed with how the receptionist, Sergio, handled a customer. They came in (without an appointment) and asked to be seen. But he told them they had nothing available but would be bake to make an emergency appointment. He proceeded by telling them that their will be a $15 charge from all clients because of the increase of equipment they need to get due to Covid.. I think it's very reasonable, but this customer got very upset over it and was very rude! Sergio never lost his cool and professionally explained the reason for the $15 charge. Sergio handled these customers so well and was amazing! I love coming here! Everyone is so helpful and I love how Bonnie is always so happy and helpful. And of course, the Dr is amazing what a great bunch of people that work here. read more

This is the most professional Dental Office I have had the pleasure having my teeth work on. Holly Vu was the best dental assistant ever, she was very thorough in explaining all of the work to be done and very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Dr Shahin is amazing and always professional and just an all around great Dentist and has a wonderful personality, I'll nick name him the "Tooth Whisperer" he is the best! Thank you Bay Dental for giving me back my Smile read more

Highly recommend this dental office! Our family has seen Dr. Shahin for over 18 years! He's a great Dentist, very good at what he does . The whole staff are great ! Especially Holy , she is so nice and knows her job . Raquel cleaned my teeth today and she did a great job. I have sensitive teeth so she has to clean the old fashioned way . She took her time and cleaned them one by one . Give them a visit and you will happy you did. Gina the receptionist will be happy to set with your next appointment. Happy cleaning read more

Amazing! That is not even an overstatement. From the staff in the front to the dentist in the room. Gina, Sergio, Joel and Dr. Mahallati are nothing short of outstanding. I came in as a walk in because of a cracked tooth and they brought me in as an emergency the same day. Then I rescheduled for another day to have a crown placed. I have worked in dental for 7 years and I can say without a doubt Dr. Mahallati has something really special going on here. He has a gentle hand and very informative. His work wIll speak for itself. Gina and Sergio in the front office are great. They worked with me in navigating through the obstacle course that is dental insurance. Finally Joel, my dental assistant, was great from the moment he introduced himself. Service, customer service, and pricing are all there. Thank you everyone at Bay Dental! read more

Dr. Mahallati and his team are so professional and accommodating! I really enjoyed my braces journey and most recently doing veneers on the front two teeth. I am so happy with the results :D Bonnie and Holly are so caring and helpful, I looked forward to going to the dentist for ortho appointments. I highly recommend this dentist, thank you again for my smile ! read more

Me and my children have been going to Bay Dental for the past 22years! Dr.Mahallati and the whole staff are the best! Highly recommended!

Bay Dental is my childhood dentist. Even now that I reside in LA, I still come to Dr. Mahallati to get work done, not only because he's extremely knowledgeable and gentle, but also because he's the only dentist that's never splashed water all over my face. I will also mention that I bring all my boyfriends to Bay Dental--the ritual typically being that Dr. Mahallati meets them before my dad does. Thank you Dr. Mahallati and his amazing staff for making the dentist my happy place :) read more

So far, the best dental office I've been to!! The staff is amazing, and so is the owner. Everyone was super communicative, efficient, and overall friendly here. I felt extremely comfortable during my visit, and thoroughly appreciated their professionalism. read more

Dr.Mahallati has been my dentist for over 11 years. The staff is amazing. Never a dull moment. They always make it fun with their smiles and caring personalities. I drive all the way from Norwalk, totally worth the drive. I always share with friends and family about his practice. He takes his time with each patient. Explains all necessary treatment needed. You will never feel force but I highly recommend to get your treatment done ASAP before it gets worse. I'm very satisfied with my tooth implant which completely looks natural. I've also had braces, root canals and fillings with Dr.Mahallati. We all have our own favorite assistant, but I have two. Bonnie and Holly have been there for many years. They have a great relationship with most patients including myself. They have two hygienists, both are sweet and gentle. Front office staff is very professional. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Dr.Mahallati and staff for my beautiful smile! read more

Shahin Mahallati, DDS - With Dr.Mahallati and Bonnie. - General Dentistry Near Me

I had my 6 month check up today. I love how going to a dental appointment feels like visiting family! My dentist, Dr Mahallati, has been treating me for over 19 years and I can't imagine going to another dentist! I love the warm and friendly environment and wonderful staff at Bay Dental. Upon arrival, as always, I was greeted by Dr. M and Sergio and enjoyed 'catching up' with them. I also enjoyed one on one time speaking with Dr. M about life stuff, being of service to others and the importance of family. My check up took a matter of minutes and I was on my wyay. Going to the dentist is never a negative experience anymore, and I attribute that to the rapport Dr. Mahallati builds and maintains with his patients. I sure got lucky when I found Bay Dental all those years ago! I love you, my Bay Dental family! Gratefully, Peg read more

I can honestly say that it's been a great experience at Bay Dental. The staff is great. They are always so nice. They have a smile on their face when you walk in. Dr. Mahallati is always very attentive with the patients. Very gentle too. My husband and daughter have been seen the for several years now and have never complained of being hurt by the dr. or the assistants. We never have to wait long to be seen. Thank you so much Bay Dental family. read more

I found this place through a Groupon deal, otherwise I would have never gone. It's been two years since my last visit to a dentist and it's something I always dread. I'm impressed with this place. The office is clean, technologically advanced (paperless as well), the staff are very friendly (Bonnie, Gina, Holly, Sergio--they even have scrubs/shirts with their names on them) with each playing a special role in the office. Bonnie in particular went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and welcome during the x-rays as well as during my wisdom teeth extraction. They make the effort to keep you in the loop to what's going on. I appreciate how they have a computer screen in front of you that shows you the x-rays. I also appreciate how they give you a mirror to look inside your mouth to see all the issues yourself. The music they have playing in the background is nice--the dentist has good taste in music (I asked him where he got the music and he showed me his Pandora list). It makes you feel like you're on vacation. Couple that with the tall trees and sun you can see through the windows and it definitely feels like vacation. Dr. M reminds me of a Dr. House figure minus the abrasiveness. He doesn't like to do regular dental cleaning--there is a dental hygienist for that. He does the other things (like my wisdom teeth extraction). He gets in, does the work quickly and efficiently, and gets out. You get the sense that he knows what he's doing. He'll spend some time explaining the details and procedures to you, but not too much--I guess that's where the staff come in. Overall a great experience and highly recommended. read more

Dr. Shahin Mahallati of bay dental is a rockstar. He takes great care and pride in his work. He cares about his patient's wellbeing and does what's in the best interest of his patients. Also his staff is awesome. He has hired a team of caring and competent individuals that make you feel like you came to the right place the moment you walk in the door. I would recommend Dr. Shahin Mahallati to anyone who needs to see a good dentist. I've done a number of crowns there, and while it was not cheap, you get quality work the first time around. read more

Dr. Mahallati is an unprofessional SCAMMING prick. I'm pretty sure he wrote the two other reviews. I just moved to the area and my new dental insurance recommended me Bay Dental. So I set up an appointment. I"m no stranger to getting a cavity, but I've never had a crown or a root canal. After some x rays, the Dr. came over and use some pretty big words about my x rays. Then proceeded to tell me I needed 2 root canals and 3 crowns that may need to be root canals and one cavity. Grand total of over $3,500.00 of work needed. Then the billing guy came over to me and used some of the same big words about the condition of my teeth and really wanted to set up as many appointment as possible to start the work. Needless to say I walked out of the office, researched a new Dentist where I went today and shockingly I just needed to fix a cavity and get one crown. DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!!!!!!!!!! read more

Since getting the boot from my parents insurance and sadly looking at other dentists that take poor man medi-cal insurance, you don't realize how good you had it until it's gone! I was a patient at Bay Dental for probably about 10 years and the only bad experience I had was getting cavities filled, cause no one likes that. Every experience (even the dreaded cavity ones) was professional, friendly, and clean. Bay Dental made my dentist visit almost enjoyable! I will miss chatting with all the staff while I was in too. My routine cleanings were quick and any other procedure I had done, Dr. Mahalladi made sure to explain anything I had questions on and made me feel at ease. So as soon as im rich and famous, I planning on flying Dr. M out to my private island to clean mine and my island cabana boys teeth. Hope to see you all soon! read more

Bay Dental is awesome! Dr. Mahallati & his staff are exceptional! Dr. Mahallati is very careful with his patients and makes everyone feel important! My family and I are privileged to have such a talented dentist based here, in Santa Ana CA. Dr. Mahallati is reasonably flexible with payment plans. Everyone at Bay Dental is very courteous & professional including Brandi (Hygienist) Gina (front office) Bonnie (Asst.) & others. If you are new to the area or looking for a great dentist, I highly recommend Bay Dental! Dr. Mahallati is #1 in my book! Sincerely, -Kevin S. (A very satisfied patient for nearly 20 years!) read more

Dr Mahallati and his dental staff had to be the best dental experience ever for me. Aparently I am a grinder and I had 5 cracked teeth that needed crowns. Two fillings as well. I heard the news and got the estimate. I was not happy. Went to two other places for opinions. They were both way more expensive and neither place had the technology Bay dental had. So I went back to Bay dental and got the work done there My worst fear of all... is of dentistry. The staff and Dr Mahallati took such care with me. They were patient and professional. Since going through this process with them I can now schedule future check ups without any fear. I highly recommend Bay Dental to anyone and everyone. Thanks to all of the staff for all your care! read more

I just finished my third visit and cleaning with Bay Dental. Everyone in the office is exceptionally nice and friendly. They don't overbook, and you can see a hygienist to have your teeth cleaned and see the dentist in one visit. That makes life a lot easier for people like me who work a lot and don't have a lot of time to get out of the office. If you have had a dentist in the past where they try to give you treatment you don't need, that won't happen with Bay Dental. They are upfront and honest. I recommend Bay Dental. read more

Dr Mahallati and all of the staff are so nice and thorough in providing service and knowledge. I had my wisdom tooth taken out, and they were great in explaining to me what I needed to do to prevent infection. read more

Wonderful staff, amazing doctors and hygienists, very friendly overall and well maintained facility. I would highly recommend Bay Dental to anyone looking for a trustworthy and top quality dental office! read more

I was referred to this office a long time ago. It's not local to me but I'd drive far to go. This office and all of its staff are outstanding. They take pride in their work. I am in and out for a cleaning in 30mins. Everything is ran so well. Everything is explained thoroughly. I was extremely sick and had to cancel same day. Gina, who I adore, was so kind and rescheduled me quickly with no issues. They are a well oiled machine. Dr. Mahallati is extremely professional and kind. Always with a smile. Works with whatever situation that is thrown at him. The dental hygienist is amazing! So gentle and very good at her job. I could talk to her for hours. My husband now goes and couldn't be happier. Easy location to find and tons of parking. I am so lucky to be a patient at Bay Dental. read more

I chose Bay Dental for my Dental care. I had a tooth with a leaking (loose) crown that needed to be removed, and sealed back on after cleaning and or repairing the tooth. Dr Mohallati diagnosed that the tooth needed to be extracted. Even though two of the dentists I had visited before neither one suggested extraction. He also suggested bone graft for $100, to fill the cavity and TISSUE GENERATION for $255 plus $5 copay for every visit, because my insurance did not allow for more money. During the extraction I felt tremendous amount of pain and pressure, also for the three or four stitches (SCAM FOR TISSUE GENERATION), it felt like he had used distilled water for the numbing shot. (Needless to say I am a senior citizen and his procedure could easily be qualified for elderly abuse). Because first, it was not necessary to extract the tooth. Secondly, I had extracted teeth before and no one suggested bone graft and tissue generation for any amount, and thirdly, I consider myself very lucky that I did not walk away with a broken jaw. The pain that started during the extraction continued for nearly three months and I had pain when I tried to open my mouth, his suggestion was pain killers and warm towels. Based on my experience, I urge you to exercise caution before going to this office. You may end up being very unhappy and taken advantage of. I hope enough patients see this review before it is taken off, because it does not match any of his 80 reviews with the average of 4.5 stars. It seems to me when an office has that many extra happy customers it should be telling you that is not realistic, I have reason to believe, most of his five star reviews are paid reviews. It makes sense to adopt policy like his because I have seen lots of links to web sites on internet offering to remove bad reviews for a fee, so you have to have a budget for removing bad reviews and pay for good 5 star reviews. Greed, viciousness, and cruelty become priorities in absence of conscience, humanity, and ethic. read more
