Omid Haroonian, DDS FICOI

AMAZING! Dr. Omid Haroonian & his staff are absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond for me, even performing emergency surgery at 11:00 pm! His quick hand and numbing technique is simply superb to what I have experienced in the past. I have scheduled my husband and kids, I highly recommend Dr. Omid Haroonian for all your dental needs.

I’ve been going here for years now, and they’ve definitely earned their 5 star rating. The office is clean, the staff is incredibly friendly, and Dr. Haroonian does excellent work. From routine cleanings, to crown fittings, to teeth whitening, I have always received exceptional service here. I would definitely recommend Dr. Haroonian to anyone looking for a new dentist.

These guys are really great I’m so nervous about going to the dentist and they make me feel so comfortable. I have gone twice now and both experiences were fantastic

He is my dentist, he did my implant and I have never had any problem. I drive over 90 miles to go to see him because I trust him and his job. I recommend to any friends and family go to see him for any their dentures needs.

Dr. Haroonian, Nancy, and the rest of the staff are great with me and my 7– year old son. They are helpful, friendly, efficient, and trustworthy. I will never go to another dentist again!

I’ll give an extra star for the cleanliness of the office, and the fact they had nice equipment including a camera for taking pictures of your teeth. I had never seen that before.
But I’m really disappointed Dr. O and his staff tried to upsell me on unnecessary procedures and the potential do worse to my gums. I was recommended by Dr. O to get a deep cleaning, because my gum gaps were anywhere from 4 to 6 mm. I am someone who goes to get my regular cleanings every six months. It was only at this particular time that I waited up to 9 months because I recently moved to the area, changed careers, and was waiting for my new insurance to kick in.
I was understanding of the diagnosis, I’ll do what I can because I am 28 years old and want to take care of my teeth so I have them when I am old. He also recommended a night guard, sealants, and something to fix a minor chip in my front tooth from grinding. But that something was veneers, not the recommendation I was expecting for such a minor chip.
This review however is for the deep cleaning suggestion. After Dr. O left, his assistant came in with the estimate for the deep cleaning. It was $ 560. Which include a deep cleaning on all four quadrants and the medication to bring the gums back to the tooth. And this was after my insurance. I told them this was too much for me at the time and would like to just get a regular cleaning until I have other options as far as different insurances go. They told me that Dr. O would not do a regular cleaning because this is what he recommends, but they were willing to get rid of the medication on my bill to make it cheaper. But isn’t the medication supposed be the thing fixes the gap? BIG sign right there I didn’t need a deep cleaning. I told them I understand that I need the medication, but I just wanted to wait to do the deep cleaning to see if I could switch insurances to make it so it would cover more. I asked them what insurances they take, that they recommend would cover more. The assistant seemed uninterested that I wanted to change insurances and did not give me a recommendation. She only elaborated on the fact that I needed to get this done soon or else. She made it seem as if my teeth fall out by next week.
I told her I understand, but I need to think on it, and really needed to go to get back to work on time. The assistant pressed on though, and I felt as if I was being held there for a little bit longer, and this conversation really didn’t need to continue any longer than it did.
Flash forward to now, when I was able to switch insurances that would cover more of my deep cleaning. The only thing was I didn’t want to go back to Dr. O because of how I was treated by his staff. Went to a new dentist and turns out that my deepest gap is only 3 mm, which is normal. He even showed me with a camera.
Similarly, my new dentist did also recommend a night guard and sealants for some of my teeth, but he did not think as far as veneers for my chip. So all and all I don’t think Dr. O is entirely shady. But if he does recommend a deep cleaning, and you don’t feel you are that terrible at teeth care, get a second opinion. Or just go somewhere else.

This is a top dentist office. I am a patient of Dr. Haroonian over 8 years now. I even continued going to him after I moved to Los Angeles. He is the best dentist I have ever had. Great doctor, highly skilled. I go there every 6 month for my cleanings I had fillings done and every experience is great. The office staff is polite and nice and I trust them with my teeth. I highly recommend this office.

WARNING! The following is my opinion based on my experiences with Dr. O’s office.
I am a Dentist’s son and have Doctors in my family so I am familiar with ethical medical practices. I have also had regular dental check-​ups with multiple dentists over many years in 5 states.
Went in for a cleaning and check-​up (I have this twice a year). They took X-​rays and then Dr. O came in and announced that I was «borderline» needing a deep cleaning and scaling. He also said I needed an old cavity re-​filled and two crowns added. Someone would be in to go over costs. They left me waiting for 40 minutes in the chair before someone came back after I got up and went looking for them.
I said I just wanted my regular cleaning that I came in for. «We don’t do that on the same day» — Really??? First time I have ever been to a dentist in over 60 years where they don’t do both in same visit. OK — I call back two days later to make the separate appointment for the regular cleaning and am told that they won’t do that because the Dr. has «diagnosed that you need a deep cleaning» and we «won’t do a regular cleaning». Hmmmmm… does this sound a little suspicious? Turns out they did the same thing to my girlfriend several months ago to the tune of over $ 550 in extra revenue to them!
I cannot speak to Dr. O’s skills as a dentist. I can speak to what appears to be unethical business practices. I would never trust a dentist whose ethics are in question — and neither should you! AVOID THIS PRACTICE. Learn from my experience!
Update: I visited another dentist for a second opinion (40 years a dentist and very good reputation). Definitely do not need a complete deep cleaning and scaling based on actual «mapping» of my gum depth, gum condition and bone condition. Also, several of Dr. O’s diagnosis of what was «needed» were laughed at and got a shaking of the head in dis-​belief that an ethical dentist would call for such treatment.
So here’s the deal — because the dental profession is basically unregulated, there are many unethical dentists that are «padding» the required actual remedies to increase their income and make up for some low insurance payment schedules. This is NOT in the patient’s best interest! I based my choice of a dentist on the insurance plan network (limited) and Unilocal reviews. In my case, the reviews led me down the wrong path — don’t let that happen to you. AVOID THIS PRACTICE and find a more ethical professional for your teeth care.

Wow! Best dentist ever. Implant surgery? No problem. So professional. So empathetic. So informative, such an amazing staff. All smiles. This office is top notch. They even called to make sure I was OK. Btw, I’m totally fine.

Best dentist in the world!!! Went to 5 other places that couldn’t fix the problem if you have any problems with ur dentist ur teeth come to this guy!!! The girls up front are so cute!!!

Great dental office! Dr Haroonian is very educated and is passionate about dentistry!

I want a refund! I went for a bottom left wisdom tooth extraction and the entire procedure became a nightmare. They took X-​rays and the doctor checked and said I needed to extract two the left bottom and the top right. (So glad, I did not do the right one.).
They offered a discount and I declined
They charged 900 which included root extraction 495 bone grafting powder for 295 and 75 for an hour of laughing gas. During the procedure doctor pulled my tooth on all directions. He wrestled with my mouth pushing down and kept saying «you are going to fell pressure «Approx 5 attempts were made to pull the tooth out. All unsuccessful. Doctor took a brake and said we are not a butcher shop but when he again, the tool sliped off his hand and hit all teeth on the top, (so much for the numbing and the laughing gas I paid 75, it was oxygen, I had to request to pump the thing up because I was feeling everything). All he said;“sorry, I hit tooth, you have a hook underneath the tooth. I wanted this experience to end. His Asst said it did not show on the x/​rays and stated“is like a baby when doing a sonogram who hides his sex, can’t tell if it’s not or girl». This is when I realized FMLyour been pulling my jaw, gums with no direction? Again FML
Wow, really, procedure done numbness went away within 30 mins. Did not make it to the pharmacy. The pain was so sharp I was not able to see open my eyes, my ear was in pain, my chin, got cold and hot sweats And my vision became blurry just tears and not able to opens eyes. My daughter called the doctor and he said to come back to his office to numb me again and gave me a pill/​prescription for 20 pain killers in addition to ibuprofen 800 mg. it’s been a week still in pain, I have taken over 30 pain killers and the pain went down but it is not gone, I am
Hungry can’t eat, can only use one side of my mouth, eat mac and cheese, can’t chew well because the pain comes back
Today I called spoke with his assistant send a picture and all she said is to come back its normal. I want my money back and will seek a 2^nd opinion this tooth wisdom extraction went WRONG! Still in pain and with an incision/​cut in the side of my cheek/​gum area something I never consent to be performed I wanted an extraction ONLY
I WILL UPDATE, once a get a refund for now PLEASE! Don’t be fooled by the other reviews, this thing is like Instagram but followers or likes, I hope not. Just be careful he was too rough, just like a butcher trying to pull a tooth that had a hook. Thank for the painful experience, you and your wife are nice for waiting for me until 7:30 pm but no wonder your practice offers sedation for 250 so you don’t hear or remember your procedure. Your office is clean and your dental assistant a sweet heart. Hope you spoke with her today I advised her that I will be putting this review. Not sure if I want to go back to you again, if you are going to put a needle on my mouth I am afraid you will brake it and left metal pieces behind it. Call me to discuss further or let me know when I can pick up a check so that I can get this fix

I have been seeing Dr. Omid and his team for several years now. I can easily say they are by far the friendliest and most accommodating staff I know. The office is clean, neat and offer very good refreshments. Of course I don’t want to always drink before I go in for my checkup, but it is available. Look forward to my next visit.

I avoid going to a dentist. I have no hesitation in going here. Dr. O is a Great Dentist.
I highly recommend trusting your teeth in the hands of this skillful and caring artist.
I continue to get thanks for sending others to his office.

Dr O and his staff are fantastic. I have been coming to Dr O for almost 5 years every time i happy with the results. Clean, white and healthy!

I was happy to find this dentist group a little over a year ago. I’m not a fan of the dentist but the staff here is very friendly and sensitive to people that have dentist issues.
They are open early which is good for me so I can get to dentist before work.
If you are looking for a new dentist and want a friendly staff, this office is for you

This office is great. Dr Haroonian is a very skilled dentist. This is the place you want to go for dental plants and the all on 4 procedure.

I always have a wonderful experience when i go to Dr. Haroonian, i trust his work as it is done very efficiently and he does excellent work, this is a dentist i have complete trust in, I have been coming to this office for many years and never have any apprehension before I go there. The staff is so friendly and helpful, it is a real pleasure and I am so glad that I know I will be treated with respect and most of all Dr. Haroonian is HONEST and does a great job because he knows what he is doing and has state of the art equipment.

My family goes to Dr. O. He and wife Nancy are top notch. I have always been greeted and served very quickly upon my arrival/​appointment time. They are thorough and great at following up! They even stay on me to get my husband to come in for his check-​ups!
Once my cap fell off and Dr. O saw me asap and got it back on at no charge to me. They even helped me once in dealing with my dental insurance. I love going to see Nancy for my deep cleanings as this helps keep my teeth in the best shape and away from lots of cavities. Thank you so much Dr. O, Nancy, and staff!

I NEVER write bad reviews but Dr. Haroonian (often referred to as Dr. O.) most certainly deserves a negative one.
Long story short… my root canal went wrong in every way possible. My root canal took 4 hours (over 2 days) and I felt everything because he was unable to get me numb. This was the most painful dentist experience of my life! The nightmare didn’t end there unfortunately. After the root canaI was complete I went back complaining of pain and he said everything was fine… but it was NOT fine.
Due to the horrible experience I had with Dr. O, I went to two other dentists for a 2^nd opinion. To my horror, Dr. O missed a root and my tooth required another root canal!
When I confronted Dr. Haroonian about the issue he was rude and condescending even when I was able to provide evidence with xrays. I requested Dr. O make good on his work but he refused to do so.
I had my 2^nd root canal with Dr. Mehta in Tustin. What an amazing experience! No pain, beautiful music and friendly staff. What a sharp contrast to the awful experience I had at Dr. Haroonian’s office.
