Over that time, Dr. Brian Mananquil and the entire Bella Vita Dental team have consistently gone above and beyond to make sure every concern I've had was addressed with patience, transparency, and genuine care. My treatment has been pretty extensive, to say the least. Dr. Brian has handled everything from implants and sinus lifts to numerous rounds of Invisalign and refinements, along with all of my general fillings, crowns, and other dental work. You name it--I've probably had to get it done; my teeth needed the whole kitchen sink. Throughout the entire process, he has always taken the time to clearly explain my options, answer every question I had, and make adjustments whenever I wanted to explore different approaches. I never once felt rushed or dismissed, which is incredibly important when you're making decisions about major dental work. What stands out most is how accommodating and patient he has been. Even when I've been very detail-oriented about my results, he's always been willing to work with me to get things exactly right. That level of commitment and professionalism is rare. The office is also consistently well-run, the staff is friendly and organized, and appointments are handled smoothly. If you're looking for a dentist or orthodontist who is skilled, thoughtful, and truly invested in achieving the best outcome for their patients, I can't recommend Dr. Brian enough. After five years of complex treatment, I'm extremely grateful I chose this practice.

At my last cleaning, I was repeatedly pushed toward a deep cleaning I didn't want or need. It took three firm "no" responses before the receptionist finally dropped it. I went into my most recent appointment already hesitant, and to no surprise, the same thing happened again. This time, I confronted them about it and ultimately walked out without receiving the cleaning I scheduled. Their entire process seems to have been reversed. What used to be: X-rays cleaning recommendations has become: X-rays gum measurements a sales pitch for $3,000+ worth of treatment pressure to commit before receiving the service you came in for. After I told the receptionist I simply wanted the cleaning I had scheduled, the hygienist came in and immediately asked, "What's your hesitation?" That felt less like patient care and more like a sales tactic. When I voluntarily schedule and pay for a dental appointment, I expect to receive the service I came for - not a high-pressure sales pitch. I will not be returning, and I will not be recommending Bella Vita. What was once a practice with great service and kind people now feels more like a dental dealership focused on upselling before patient care. It's a shame. You had something good, and you squandered it.

First consultation and I'm met with a lady after who parks me in a side room with a consultation. Prior to this the dental hygienist repeatedly told me "we won't sell you on anything you don't need." After the preliminary x-rays the hygienist went in to look at my gums. You know when they throw a number for root planing this guy was throwing up 4s, 5s, and 6s in milliseconds. All of a sudden I have horrible gum disease I never thought I had. The lady giving me a "dental plan" of $2000+ after insurance was telling me of how many state of the art laser interrogations I needed that insurance wouldn't cover at all. Fast forward to my dental cleaning. Btw I have to pay out of pocket a significant amount bc "I have gum disease now". They numbed me up so bad I couldn't go back into work. I had 2 sessions of periodontal scaling and root planing. The first lasted 30 minutes. The second lasted 15 minutes. These should have gone for an hour and a half.

I went here about years ago and I really loved this office when I first came and I really loved Dr Kiyan and his staff. He was doing a deal for a full mouth reconstruction for $15,000 so I did it. I had six porcelain veneers in my front that I should not have taken out because they were much better quality. He prepped my teeth and did crown lengthening which did not make my gums even. It was an absolute waste of time. I had Crown lengthening once before by a periodontist and highly recommend going to a periodontist for this procedure. He then put 20 crowns in one day. The next day I was in severe pain and it lasted a while... The doctor told me that that was normal. Come to find out I needed numerous root canal's. So after having these new crowns put in I had to go and have root canal's drilled through the middle of the crown. I ended up getting 10root canals which was not cheap. Then I would have crowns fall out and break. I had numerous crowns fall out and break. I paid $500 to fix my last broken ground there and then when another crown broke he said that I needed to have two other teeth have new crowns because they now have decay. Which I mentioned when I first had the crowns done that they weren't fully covering the tooth that they were most likely going to have cavities. Anyway he said that I would now have to pay $1500 per crown. How does any dentist charge more to fix issues caused. Personally I shouldn't even had to of paid the $500 for the one crown that I had fixed. Since having this work done recently I had a crown fall out realizing that there was really no tooth underneath it. So he put a crown on pretty much no tooth..And another crown fell out on the opposite side with pretty much no tooth. I'm Going to have to have a full reconstruction and numerous implants. I'm not even sure how many teeth have nothing underneath the crown.. My teeth havabsolutely been ruined. In the pictures that I posted you can see the uneven gummy smile with one of my front teeth is bigger than the other.. you can see next to my bottom teeth the broken tooth that has been there for a while. And you can also see the missing teeth on the bottom. I am seriously paying the price for bad dentistry.

Let me start by saying this office is probably fine for routine cleanings and cavities. I don't…read morethink Dr. Qadeer overdiagnoses, and I genuinely wanted to like this place. About two months ago, I had a crown done that I definitely needed. Before the procedure, the only risk discussed was the possibility of needing a root canal because the decay was close to the nerve. I wish there had been a more thorough conversation about the crown process and potential complications beforehand. During the crown prep, I was surprised at how quickly Dr. Qadeer worked. I assumed maybe he was just very experienced, but in hindsight I think the procedure may have been rushed. Two weeks later, I still had pain and inflamed gums when I went in for the permanent crown. I was given a mouthwash that helped, the crown was placed, and I was told everything looked fine. About a month later, I returned for a cleaning and called ahead to say I was still having pain and wanted the tooth checked again. After another X-ray, Dr. Qadeer told me I needed surgery to lengthen the bone because the crown was not sealed correctly. I was shocked. He then claimed this had been discussed beforehand, which it had not, and said he hadn't mentioned it earlier because he wasn't sure until seeing the new X-ray. Quadeer blamed my anatomy not his work for the issue. He later offered to redo the crown at no cost. I reached out to two close friends from college who are dentists -- one an endodontist and one a general dentist who does crowns regularly. Both felt the tooth was likely a difficult case but that surgery sounded excessive. They also pointed out that the issue on the X-ray was already visible when the crown was originally cemented. We decided I should see an endodontist they recommended and trusted. He performed the root canal and prepared the tooth for a replacement crown, since doing additional work on the original crown would likely continue irritating the tooth. I then returned to Dr. Qadeer to redo the crown. During that visit, he still would not take accountability for what happened. He repeatedly said he didn't want to work on my tooth if I didn't trust him, which made the interaction uncomfortable. How could I fully trust him at this point? My permanent crown was delivered this week, and my dentist friends said it looks perfect. I do think Dr. Qadeer is capable of good work. My issue is more with how this situation was handled. If he had simply acknowledged it was a difficult case and said the crown needed to be redone, I would have understood. Instead, the responsibility was consistently shifted to my anatomy or to "not seeing it" earlier. Dentistry requires a great deal of trust, and once that trust is lost, it's hard to regain. I appreciate that he offered to redo the crown at no cost, but overall I left disappointed. My impression is that he prioritizes quantity over quality and that can become a problem when a case requires more time and attention.
