Aida Shahangian, DDS

I’ve seen Dr. Shahangian twice and have found the Dr. Shahangian professional and polite and have been OK with the cleanings. The final steps in the cleaning seemed to be done by inexperienced people — but it Is only flossing and polishing at that point.
Today however, I showed up for my third appointment and was told the Doctor is home with a sick child. These things happen and I understand that completely. However, I was not called or notified by email about this. Ivette in the front office said she called — but I showed her my cell phone which showed one call from yesterday and it was not the dental office. She simply shrugged seeming not to care whatsoever that this has been a giant inconvenience for me. I usually get over these things by the time I get home (½ hour each way) but I’m still angry about this. People have busy lives and this office does not seem to respect its clients.

I discussed my need for emergency treatment with you receptionist maybe you should talk to her. That’s where your problem lies. Except for the fact you drilled into my teeth and they hurt very bad. I have decided to discuss this with the Dental Association.

Doctor Shahangian is amazing & her staff is very nice, super friendly & professional.
I brought my mom who was going thru Chemo and needed a special care due to her health condition and doctor Shahangian no only took a wonderful & special care of her but also make her feel happy & confident. My mom was very please with everything.
This year I brought my kids for their annual check up and They love it because the practice is super kids friendly and I was super happy with the results.
Last week I went for my check up & some cosmetic work I left super happy with my new smile. She did a great job.
My experiences have been fantastic that’s why I can highly recommend Dr. Shahangian. She is not only a phenomenal qualify dentist but also I think she has a very good hearth. All of my family love her & her staff.

No, I am not a patient. I am new to the area and was trying to find a dentist for my family. However, I was treated so rudely in that process that I was forced to go elsewhere. I would recommend discreetly monitoring your staff (Nicole and Angela) to observe what truly goes on when you are not present. Really shocking!

Dr. Aida Shahangian and her staff are fantastic!
I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 4 years. I always put off finding a dentist because i was dreading the possibility of learning that i had a cavity. However, my girlfriend can be very persuasive, and I made her a promise to see the dentist during this summer So I called Dr. Shahangian’s office. The woman who promptly answered the phone was nice, kind, and efficient. The office is also open one Saturday per month, which was perfect since I work full time during the week.
Today, I just came home from my appointment at Dr. Shahangian’s office. Basically, I loved my experience. The front desk receptionist is extremely sweet and made sure I didn’t have to wait too long. After I met Dr. Shahangian, it was clear that i made the right choice. She was very sweet and caring. She clearly explained what procedures she would be administering and was gentle to not cause any pain during the entire cleaning. Dr. Shahangian was extremely thorough and efficient at her work. As an added benefit, she will even play a movie for you while you’re getting your teeth cleaned!
In sum, I was very pleased with and highly recommend Dr. Aida Shahangian. I am confident you will find her really pleasant, and will not be disappointed with her work.

I love, love, love Dr. Shahangian. I am a total dental chicken and she understands that. She is caring, sweet and she knows her stuff. Gives me my options. Best dentist I have ever gone to! Plus I love watching old «Friends» episodes while in the chair!

I have recently visited Doctor Shahangian’s office and very glad to find such an honest doctor. In the last a few year I have visited several dentist for my annual cleaning and every time they were trying to sell me something that I did not even needed!!!
Dr. Shahangian explained everything in detail with lots of patient and answered all my questioned.
I do recommend her to anyone that really looking for an honest dentist which is hard to find these days.

I just switched to Aida as my primary dentist and I love the office and the staff. I have had one regular cleaning and had a wisdom teeth extraction so far, and both experiences were great. I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed while I was awake and Aida did a great job. I have only taken two of my painkiller medications and I easily could have gone without. They are healing great.

Dr Shahangian is very knowledgeable and gentle. Her office has the latest equipment, digital x-​rays (less radiation) and a very friendly staff. I am in the process of getting two crowns and the office has called to check on me three times in the last two weeks even though I have had no complications. I’ve been going there for several years and would recommend her to anyone.

Wonderful Dentist, and wonderful staff. Dr. Shahangian always goes above and beyond to take care of her patients’ dentals needs. Been a patient for almost 3 years and always had a lovely experience. She knows how to make everyone feel comfortable. She is so genuine, gentle, and even plays movies (if wanted) for those who want something pleasant to watch while getting their teeth cleaned. Had gone to other dentists in Los Angeles and San Jose before and must say she is by far the most professional while treating each patient with the best possible individualized care. She makes sure you are not in any pain and always explains procedures before beginning. Her office is very clean, in a convenient location and parking is very easy. Nicole always takes care of scheduling and insurance paperwork very promptly so that patients don’t have to worry about a thing. If you are looking for a honest, gentle, clean and caring dentist I highly recommend Dr. Shahangian for your dental needs.

I spoke with Nicole last week after searching for a dentist for my son. I spoke VERY specifically with her about our schedule being pretty hectic and when offered an appointment I asked if we could do 1:30 because my son was out of school at 1:08. She said that was fine… Being a note taker when I make appointments I wrote all this down along with parking across the street because they don’t validate etc. then put the appointment in my calendar right away. I received a call confirming our appointment I called back to confirm … Yes, we would be there at 1:30 on the 30^th. We arrived a few minutes early, but as my 5 year old son opened the door Nicole said his name …, not even asking are you so and so??? Then proceeds to say how we were supposed to be there at 1:00 and as she rolls her eyes says she will see what she can do! We are still only in the doorway… I have NEVER been treated so poorly in my life. Maybe I am wrong, but I believe the correct thing to do had she believed we were truly late., would have been to first ask who we were., then say politely I’m sorry but we had you down at 1:00 there must have been some miscommunication. Then precede from there. At this point I was so shocked to be yelled at instead of greeted I said … I’m Sorry but we will be leaving. I hope the dentist realizes how her customers are being treated. Unfortunately we will never know if she is a good dentist. So my review is not for her, but Nicole.

I absolutely love this dentist and her staff!
I’ve been coming here since 2007 and her service has always been consistent no matter how busy she becomes! Dr. Shahangian is definitely worth the drive to Laguna Hills! Nicole (the front desk operator) has excellent phone skills and super prompt! I didn’t think I would be able to keep her as my dentist since I switched to KP, luckily I was and Nicole made all the arrangements with Delta for my paperwork and was seen the very next day! Just recently (since the last time I’ve been last year) she has a new dental assistant and she’s so kind just like Dr. S! She’s gentle, and very outgoing! Every time I come for my checkup I feel like I’m coming to see my friend, she genuinely cares about each patient that comes in. She has a gentle touch and never hurts my teeth at all which is a bonus since no one is a fan of the dentist! If you have to have someone be in your grill you’d definitely want her! Only bad thing is the medical center took away validated parking tickets so now you have to pay $ 1.00 for every 30 minutes which can add up :(Dr. S is the best dentist to go to in the OC ^_^

To whom wrote the reply to my comment, ask to my current dentist what a mess you made, I’m not a dentist, I’m an engineer, I put my trust and my few money I had at that time on you and you failed. Simple as that.

I am not someone who generally enjoys seeing a dentist, and would avoid one as much as possible. But when I have trust, and feel cared for, and know that the person I am seeing is highly skilled then I have to write this review! I have been seeing Dr. Shahangian for years, and I feel secure, and lucky to have such a great dentist that has taken very good care of my teeth. The staff is very professional, and friendly, and although they are always busy, they don’t make you feel forgotten about. They are usually on time, and if they end up being a little delayed they call me ahead of time, even 30 minutes prior, let me know and ask if I would am okay with waiting or would like to reschedule. Dr. Aida Shahangian, and her staff have shown integrity, and always let me know what work and or procedure she would like to do on me and ask me for my permission first. Dr. Shahangian is very detailed and thorough in her work and description of each procedure, and checks to see how I am feeling when working on me. Dr. Shahangian and her staff make sure that her clients feel comfortable, and they provide a soothing environment, and awareness that someone needs in order to feel safe. Dr. Shahangian is also a very skilled dentist, as I have experienced the regular checkups, and recently had a crown done. I did not have any issues with the crown, it fit perfectly to my surprise, and it was a much easier and a smoother process than I thought it would be. I look forward to going for my visits, and have referred others to see Dr. Shahangian. I highly recommend Dr. Shahangian for anyone who wants to see a highly skilled professional, with integrity, and warmth.

Among other procedures, Dr. Shahangian had performed an emergency root canal on my molar. It was surprisingly less painful than I had expected (I have had fillings done by other dentists that hurt more). The procedure was complete and I remain pain-​free many months later. My visits with Dr. Shahangian’s office are always pleasant and professional and I highly recommend her excellent services to anyone.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shahangian’s for over 12 years. She is very professional, knowledgeable and does beautiful work. She is also extremely attentive, gentle and very thorough. I highly recommend Dr. Shanangian. You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Shahangian is a phenomenal dentist. She genuinely cares about her patients and her quality of work is such that you actually don’t hate when your appointment date arrives, which is saying a lot considering most of us fear our dentist!
She is incredibly sweet and always engages with her patients to ensure that they are comfortable and relaxed. She answers any questions you have without making you feel guilty for asking them. Unfortunately, I have experienced many doctors who do not care to spend much time on each patient as the only color they see is green.
With Dr. Shahangian, you are getting a mother who runs a more mom-​and-​pap practice, which equates to far more attention, personalization and quality care. Trust me, you don’t want to go to a dental factory where you are just another number. You want a family atmosphere where you feel comfortable, wanted and cared-​for. Dr. Shahangian’s practice is exactly that.
She is as gentle as it gets and her attention to detail is evident in the high quality of her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone and have been. My entire family, and close friends, all have made her their dentist and now they stop at nothing to show-​off their pearly-​whites!

Due to the extremely unprofessional nature of this practice I would advise against anyone using their services. Their techniques are outdated and painful. Worse than that, their billing practices are the worst my family and I have ever experienced. They would double bill our insurance and then harass us for undue payment. It wasn’t until I threatened to file criminal charges for 422pc-​Criminal Threats that they got the message. Take my advice, go anywhere else.
