After many years , I decided to change my dentist. I was just paying to much, even for my regular cleaning. I was referred by a friend to Dr.Tehrani's office. I don't thinkl I thanked her enough. I received the best service and the best care and it was all covered by my insurance. Great staff, clean office and great work.

I have been going to Dr. Tehrani for almost 4 years now and have had excellent service every time. He has been very kind, always and has never pushed any extras on me. In fact, when I went to see him after I had my son last April, I had a deep-root cleaning (his recommendation since your gums get bad during pregnancy)and filled a few cavities with the composite filling (white) and a few other things and when I was leaving, he told the receptionist to not bill me for anything. He said whatever the insurance covered would be fine, that was his gift to me for my baby. I thought that was a VERY nice gesture for being a loyal client.
He has always been very nice and the last time I went for a cleaning, in June I believe, I went during my lunch hour and was out in 35 minutes w/no cavities! He definitely wasn't trying to get money out of me or my insurance since he told me happily that I had no cavities.
This has been my personal experience with Dr. Tehrani since January of 2005.
Hope this helps.

I had not gone to the dentist for various years for the fear, however since I arrived at Dr' Tehrani's office I was greeted by friendly staff which made me feel comfortable. Now, after all my treatment has been completed I regret that coming sooner. Everyone should go to Dr. Terahni's office.

I had gone to various dentist and only Dr. Tehrani explained the entire treatment and showed me what I needed. I could not be happier. If you want to get treatment done correctly at reasonable prices and gentle care this is the place for you.

I saw the review done by Rich A. and could not believe that someone could think these are fake reviews. If you want solid proof go to the office and see for yourself. All I have to say about this office office is positive!!! Give it a try and you will also give it 6 stars!!!
I recently got my treatment done in Dr. Terahni's office and I had an exceptional experience. I got an implant done and I do not regret it because it was pain free. I would recommend everyone to come and experience the honestly and care of this office.

The hygienist is very thorough and his staff are very friendly.Ever since I have gone to this office not only my oral health has improved but also my confidence has increased because of my great smile. Best dentist you could ever go to check it out for yourself.

My experience has been a very positive one. Dr. Tehrani diagnosed my splitting headaches as TMJ and recommended orthodontia as a remedy. I began the treatment in early 2007, and my headaches went away within a couple of months. I'm nearing the end of treatment, and my teeth look great. More importantly, my quality of life has increased as a result. If you have TMJ, I highly recommend Beach Cities Dentistry.

It is amazing that this office even remains in business. After grossly overcharging us, the dentist refused to take our phone calls or discuss the matter (yet continues to send bills).
We have since been forced to contact the insurance company to dispute, and they are in full agreement that we were overcharged and are owed a refund close to $1500, yet the dentist even refuses to respond to them.
Our opinion - Stay away!!

After being provided a written Good Faith Estimate by Dr. Tehrani for dental work to be completed, he later billed us an amount over 500% ABOVE his initial estimate. This difference made the amount we "owed" literally THOUSANDS of dollars above his initial estimate.
Upon contacting him DAILY to discuss, he refused to return telephone calls and asked his receptionist to tell us he was "out today" or "at lunch" or "with patients" and unavailable to speak to us. Once we finally tracked him down, he indicated that due to a "computer glitch" the error in his estimate had been made, and he was not willing to take responsibility for the error. We disputed further, and he would not budge. We even offered him a settlement amount (which, by the way would still pay him several hundred dollars ABOVE the amount of his initial estimate), and he refused, calling us "crazy" and telling us to "think long and hard about what you are doing."
Our Opinion - this is a dentist to avoid at all costs if you're looking for honest and credible business dealings, and adequate customer service including return telephone calls.
On a side note, we agree with the previous posts about him pushing expensive and unnecessary dental procedures! We are now almost $4000 out of pocket (after a $646 estimate) and he continues to refuse to take our calls or discuss the matter!!

I was billed a total of $443 for three cleanings and one filling. After being suspecious of the continued billings, I called my insurance company and they informed me that I should have only paid $167.07. Although I didn't get a 2nd opinion, I couldn't see a cavity in the x-ray but Dr. Tehrani insisted I needed a filling. I had to go back to get the filling sanded down since it was malformed and I couldn't close my mouth comfortably.
He ended up telling my wife she needed two crowns and a filling, but after getting the filling, she had to get it redone three times due to months of severe pain. Neither of us had ever had to go back to a dentist so many times to get something fix. If this just happended with one of us, then it could have been a fluke.. but two people, something is wrong with this guy. If my main dentist (Dr. Aaron Gerson) was available, I would have seen him rather than getting suckered in by Dr. Tehrani.
I have to agree with other reviewers that they do push expensive procedures. I suspect it's to pay for the useless camera equipment he uses... also overhearing what the other patients were undergoing, it sounds like nothing but fillings, crowns, and bridges... I honestly wonder how many really needed that kind of work done.
Word of warning: 1) Don't go to Beach Cities Dentistry; 2) Call your insurance company and double-check your bill; and 3) Get a 2nd opinion if you must see Dr. Tehrani.

His office sat on insurance billings for 6 months causing a huge mess up and I got stuck with the bill. No apology or acceptance of a problem. Stay away.

I was a patient of Dr. Tehrani for a year and a half and had several problems with him including trying to sell me expensive dental appliances, not listening to my concerns, crowns that kept breaking, refusal to discuss my treatment on the phone instead insisting I make an appointment just to answer questions, and crowns that kept breaking. I only stayed with him after my first problems because my orthodontist's receptionist said he did good work. But, after the crown problems and the rude treatment I received because I questioned his treatment approach, I left and found a dentist I could trust.
PROS:
CONS: Poor communication, Pushes expensive treatment options
