What can I say about Dr. Cifferili (Dr C). She had a treatment plan for me. I followed her plan, which included crowns and an implant. She suggested invisalign to correct my bite and fix my "snaggletooth", as we called it. Even through Covid she went above and beyond to make sure my progress was on track. I couldnt be more happier with the results. I highly recommend her for any of your dental needs.

Dr. Amir Larijani, DDS, is the best that any prospective client would want; he understands individual's fear of pain, the unknowns of delayed maintenance to their teeth, and the lack of knowledge most people have about their teeth, their bite, and how it all impacts our general health.

But the difference-maker is Dana Point Dental's office and dental staff. They have the depth of knowledge and confidence that calmed my fears, gave me strong guidance when I needed it, and really cared. My experience in business tells me that Dana Point Dental's executed vision comes from the top

Told me I needed a root canal so I went to two more dentists and they said that was just not true. They did that to my dad, too. Get a second opinion!

I have been going to Dana Point Dental for 10 years and I am very happy to have them as my dentist office. I have Shannon as my hygienist and she is so warm and friendly and gentle. I have Dr. Cifarelli as my dentist and she is so good at what she does---when it comes to dental work, you need to feel comfortable and trusting---I go here for those reasons and I will keep going back regularly. Everyone there is professional yet friendly. I highly recommend them to anyone!!

It's basically a spa for your mouth. I was referred by a friend and have really enjoyed the level of care and attention they provide. The office and rooms are clean and relaxing. So relaxing, I almost fell asleep during my cleaning with Kristina! Everyone I've interacted with has been extremely professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for quality care.

What can I say about DP Dental that hasn't already been said? They are truly the best among any medical/dental/customer experience I've ever had. If the DMV was this nice I'd renew my auto registration in person!

I have been coming here for probably 10 years now, maybe a little longer, and it's always a joy. They are extremely thorough, clean, professional and pleasant to interact with. They put up with my quirky sense of humor and I always leave looking forward to my next visit.

I've had fillings replaced and broken teeth fixed as well as my usual cleaning visits

I have been going to Dana Point Dental since I was in middle school. I have moved to all parts of Orange County since and as an adult Dana Point Dental still has my loyalty. I have been a patient of many Hygienists in my past here however my most recent visit with Kristina Salazar was spectacular. She was clear and informative and made me feel very comfortable with all aspect of my visit. Highly recommend to all, especially those who may not always feel comfortable at a dentist because here you will always be taken care of.

I LOVE Dana Point Dental, I can honestly not say enough great things about them. They have completely transformed my smile. I was really insecure about my teeth and I did a lot of research on where I wanted to get my veneers done because it was very important to me. Doctor C. surpassed my expectations of everything I ever wanted in my smile. The whole staff is amazing as well and I highly recommend them!

I can not say enough about this group of amazing humans. 5 stars does not even come close. Dr. Larinjani placed beautiful veneers and did it with such meticulous precision. I am so fortunate to have found this dental group. Best dental care in Southern California.

Seriously the best dentist office of all time! I've had to have some major work done in the last few months and they have worked with me the whole way through. Dr. Vashi, Jeannie, and Jennifer have made this experience so amazing for me. The dental work is top notch and their customer service skills are on another level! Thank you so much guys!!

Dr. Cifarelli and Dr. Larijani are the best dentists who provide an amazing experience whenever I have my dental visits. They know how to run a great office with great staff. Before I go in for teeth cleaning I'm always a little nervous because I hate dental work, but I always leave relaxed and squeaky clean! I trust the dr's and staff and will never go anywhere else :)

I've been going to Dana Point Dental for the past 2 years after moving down to Irvine for work. The whole experience has been amazing.

On my first visit, Dr. Vashi gave me a thorough initial exam and gave me tips on where to focus when caring for my teeth. He also noticed that I had 2 wisdom teeth I had postponed removing for 20 years, mostly out of fear of the process and recovery. He showed me the damage it was causing and how hard it was to clean there so I agreed to have them removed.

Just to note, another dentist cracked, shaved, yanked my wisdom teeth for 4 hours the last time I had

My wife and I just moved to Dana Point from Texas and were lucky enough to find Dana Point Dental Group. Dr. Larijani was so amazing. His friendly attitude and winning personality put me right at ease. I could genuinely tell he loves what he does and his patients. I was so impressed by all of his staff as well. What a phenomenal experience. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Larijani and will definitely be using him as my dentist.

I have been going to Dr. Cifarelly for about 8 years and she is amazing! she is so knowledgeable and her small feminine hands make it so easy to do dentistry. I had a difficult surgery on thursday and she did such a great job and I didn't even need pain medication after she cut the skin to get up under my bridge for a root canal. I love all the staff at Dana Point Dental group. My whole family goes there and we are all so happy with then. I highly recommend them if you want people who really care about making you comfortable during any procedure you might need. I also have Shannon the hygentist

Being a person who has extreme concerns about dentist, not just any will do. I feel the entire office is just as important as the dentist. Here at Dana Point Dental, the marks are all good. Jennifer and the office staff great and they greet you with warm smiles and see to you promptly. They come to know you after a few visits and genuinely care when they ask how are things.

I get my teeth cleaned by Shannon. Shannon has a great 'seat side' manner and knows I can get extremely uncomfortable. She is always engaging and making sure I am comfortable. This helps me relax so much, I sometimes

The friendly and professional staff, the clean and warm atmosphere and of course great service are all reasons why I keep coming back to this office. Whatever need I have, the doctors are ready to take on the issue with a level of expertise I haven't found elsewhere.

I keep coming back knowing that there will be no pain and that my teeth are going to look great!

Update: went in for a cleaning and just as always impressed with the friendly and helpful front office staff as well as my great hygienist, Shannon. She always makes the process a breeze and something I look forward to.
