    Pearly Dental is Phenomenal! I have trusted Dr. Kataban's care for almost 5 years now and have…read morealways had exceptional care and results. I have had so many dental procedures in my life since a young age and my family has hereditarily bad teeth. I also had an accident where I knocked out my front teeth and got implants as a teenager. I have seen many dentists throughout the years. All of this has made me self-conscious at times and fearful of going to the dentist but now that fear is gone after Dr. Kataban and Dr. Patel's excellent care. While pearly Dental does a phenomenal job at cleanings, crowns and Invisalign, I have gone to them to be referred to other exceptional offices for procedures including implants, extractions and root canals. Pearly Dental always checks in on the results and final cosmetics. They are always very concerned about the health of your mouth and are incredibly knowledgeable. I'm always happy to see Christian when I walk in and the amazing staff. Sharon is awesome at the front office! She is knowledgeable and worked to get me in when I've had situations arise and is always very helpful and kind. I feel this office Has always been there for me and continues to impress me. I cannot wait to see how my Invisalign turns out, I was hesitant. At first, I realized the necessity for long-term health of my teeth and the great smile is a plus!

    I'm honestly taken aback by some of the grandiose and hyperbolic reviews for Dr. Morvarid…read moreKhatibian, so many calling her the "best dentist ever," "best in town," saying they'd drive an hour or fly back from another state, or describing Pearly Dental Care as "like a spa." It's just bizarre to me. Maybe some patients had complicated dental problems that other dentists couldn't address or she referred them to the right specialists, and genuinely made a huge difference for them. If so, I can understand the glowing reviews. Even though some were a little too enthusiastic....But some of these reviews describe routine checkups, cleanings, or fillings. Did she cure your cavity with a cleaning? lol. I chose this office because of all the glowing reviews and ended up severely disappointed. My experience was completely different. The care felt transactional to me and the treatment recommendations felt aggressive. She was the only dentist I've ever had who repeatedly told me I needed deep cleanings every three months. Deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, is generally used to treat periodontal disease and is not the same as a normal preventive cleaning. I trusted her because she was the dentist. I brushed twice a day, flossed nightly, my gums almost never bled when flossing, and my teeth are naturally pretty white, yet somehow I constantly left feeling like I was doing a terrible job taking care of them. I felt like I was being treated as though I brushed once a week. Looking back, seemingly everything that was supposedly wrong with my teeth came with another procedure or product from the office. I don't remember much discussion about things I could do at home, alternatives, or simply monitoring something and reassessing it later. The final straw was when she recommended a Perio Tray that I remember costing around $1,000 out of pocket. I said, "I'll think about it," went home and researched it myself, and learned that it is a custom tray used to deliver medication into periodontal pockets. The device itself is FDA cleared, but even the American Academy of Periodontology notes that FDA clearance did not determine that any specific medication delivered through these trays is proven safe or effective for treating gum disease. I became concerned that I was being upsold an expensive adjunctive periodontal treatment that I had not been given enough information to believe I actually needed, so I never went back. What makes this even stranger to me is that no other dentists I've seen before her or after EVER recommended I needed a deep cleaning. Before agreeing to treatment, especially something expensive or nonurgent, say, "I'll think about it." Take your time, research what is being recommended, get a second opinion, and trust your gut. You can always call back and make the appointment later. Also, I find it odd that I couldn't find a single response from her to the critical Yelp reviews I read spanning roughly 10 years. Who knows, maybe I'll finally break the streak! lol.

    They've been great. In addition to modern amenities like being able to watch Netflix during your…read moreprocedure along with modern payment options, they're just a well-run practice. I've had teeth cleanings and a filling repaired, and they've always been gentle and considerate. The parking is easy too :). I moved to One Dental over a year ago when my longtime dentist Dr. Ravizza retired and his new replacements suddenly recommended multiple fillings and even a crown, despite me never having issues before. That didn't sit right with me, which is what led me here--and I'm glad it did. They confirmed that I didn't need that work.

    Very disappointing experience with the front desk staff. I can't comment on the dentists since my…read moreappointment was canceled for no reason. In March, I made an appointment for May 28th as a first time client. Shortly after scheduling, I received a text asking if I'd be interested in an opening sooner to which I replied yes. I provided my availability and stated I was flexible and could come most afternoons. I received a reply shortly after asking if I'd like to come the next day for a morning appt. Um no. I had already clearly stated I could do AFTERNOONS. Two weeks later I get a call and then a text asking if I'd like to be added to the "ASAP list". I thought I already was?! I was contacted AGAIN a few days later asking about my availability. How many times do I have to spell out I can come in the afternoons?! By this point, they're too much and I ask that they take me off the list. It's too much communication. May 27th comes along and I realize I've received no communication about my appointment on the 28th. I text them to find out they canceled my appointment. I NEVER told them to cancel my appointment. I simply didn't want to be constantly bothered about their "ASAP list". It's really unacceptable that they canceled an appointment I waited almost 3 months for. I was really hoping to have a good dentist 5 minutes from my house but no such luck. I was not interested in rescheduling as I completely lost trust in this office.
