Expensive Dental Work
by Aaron L.
This dental office overcharges for its work, at least 25% higher prices than what other offices charge. For each cavity, I was charged at least $250 for even a 1-surface composite repair. At my school, dental work costs only about $150 per tooth for similar repairs. Even at other private offices, most dental work in the Irvine area costs only around $200. Ask around other dental offices before visiting this one; you'll probably find that other office charge no more than $225 for a 3-surface composite repair. This office is not kind enough to disclose its billing policy until after you make a visit, but other offices generally will. Moreover, I think this dentist may have recommended unnecessary many dental repairs. Dr. Ayzin had recommended I receive ~8 cavity fillings. I mistakenly entrusted him with many of the fillings, but when I received a second evaluation at my university's dental clinic, only one was recommended by my school's dentist. I'm not a dentist, so I don't know who is correct, but I certainly would caution you to visit this dentist. The rates certainly are too high, and they may possibly prescribe unnecessary dental work.

LOVE LOVE LOVE MY LUMINEERS
by Lorri R.
I had 10 Lumineers placed by Dr. Ayzin, from Dentistry at Its Finest and I could not be more happy. They look natural, I feel like he spend a long time with me making sure everything was prefect (my standard and his) and the staff was amazing! I felt like I was a VIP everytime I went in. I have had my Lumineers for 4 months now and they are still perfect!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Great Staff!
by Sandra K.
I was very very very scared to go to the dentist. My last visit was about 5 yrs ago, but when I called they were great. They walked me through each step and made sure I knew what was going on. I am very happy I found them along with my new smile:)

Awesome job, Dr. Ayzin
by AKaplan
My 11 year-old daughter had a really bad accident - she fell down from a bike and broke her lip and pieces off her two permanent front teeth. She was in pain, scared, and bleeding. I looked for the emergency dentist and scheduled an appointment to see Dr. Ayzin.
He did an absolutely incredible job! He calmed her down and comforted her, and repaired her teeth so that they look like nothing happened. Her teeth look exactly the way they did before the accident. I want to thank Dr. Ayzin for being an amazing dentist, and for doing such an awesome job for my child. She said that she didn't even feel the shot, and that the doctor was very nice. Thank you very much, Dr. Ayzin.

Cons: Expensive, Possibly Unecessary, Dental Work?

NEVER AGAIN!
by atorena
i needed to get my 6 month teeth cleaning but didn't no time to drive to my dentist. I tried out this fraudulent "dentist" since it's next to my apartment building. i felt like my entire visit was an infomercial for all the latest dental procedures. i had braces as a child but ONE tooth is SLIGHTLY out of place...he suggested i get invisalign. why spend so much $$$ for ONE TOOTH!? he PHOTOSHOPPED my smile and showed me what it "could" look like. I have GREAT teeth, always get complimented on them. he said i needed a "gum lift" so i could show only teeth when i smiled...apparently they use a laser to take off some gum. ew. his hygienist stinks, she did a bad job cleaning my teeth, she was more interested in telling me about her and her fourth husband's love life and all this new-age medicine. i was there for 3 hours, bored off my butt and THEN after everything, they tried to sit me down for a 30 minute summary of my appointment, i suspect it's to try to sell me more junk that they get a kick-back from. i was there the whole traumatic three hours, i know what happened.
i need a filling and they're eager to schedule an appointment for me...i say no thanks, i think i'll go back to my regular dentist (DR. OAXACA IN SEAL BEACH) I return to dentistry at its "finest" to get a copy of my xrays because my insurance paid for them, they tell me i need to pay a $50 fee for them..."it's policy and we have to use ink and paper." ok email them to my dentist? that's $35. so my real dentist took xrays for free for me because he is the best. i got my bill from my insurance and just to have the dentist at dentistry at its "finest" talk to you, it's $75 tacked on to the two hundred somehting dollars for the fake exam. i didn't know "dr" ayzin's time was so valuable. i'ill NEVER go here again! when i went back for my xrays and i'm arguing with the receptionist,the dentist comes out to see what's going on,sees i'm not happy and ran back to the back. professional. avoid this place.
Pros: nada.
Cons: everything.

WOW I WOULD VERY MUCH RECOMMEND!!!
by Sarah654
I avoid the dentist for about 10 yrs. When I was younger I had a really bad experience, but I worked up the courage to call after half my mouth was in pain. When I called they were very friendly and scheduling was very easy. I was able to fill out all the paper work before my appointment and they sent me an email with a linked map (very helpful). Parking was good, the front office staff was great. I loved the fact they walked me through everything they were going to do and even offered me water before my appt. After the office tour, the treatment coordinator (Inna?) sat me down and asked me about my dental history and past experience.
The doctor was great, he actually looked at my medical histry too:) After he took a look at my horrible teeth I met with the treatment coordinator and we went through what I wanted to get started with. I felt like they really wanted to make sure I knew all the benefits and alternatives to my treatment. They worked with my insurance and even showed me my insurance breakdown.
I would recommend this office to everyone. I am very happy I found them and they are helping me with my fears as well as impoving my smile. :)
Pros: Great staff, loads of parking, easy to find and very caring
Cons: Not open sats.

invisalign braces
by moviechick101
They gave me a great deal on invisalign and included at home whitening for free. I am excited to get started.

glad i went with them
by todd007
I have no insurance and I just needed a routine cleaning and exam. The staff was very friendly. The office was clean and the tour was a nice touch. My cleaning was great, and my teeth feel way better. The doctor filled some cavities. They used white filling and it looks natural. I had a couple visits in a row, but now I do not have to go back for 6 months. Already I have sent my girlfriend there and I would recommend them to anyone.

Pushy
by strwrs777
Nice facility, nice set up. People seem friendly at first, greeting you with smiles and bright eyes.
But after numerous visits from them saying i needed so much work done (within 7 months) to my gums, and my insurance only paying for partial, i spent money i probably didn't have to. I really feel they over charged and over scheduled me to get more $$$.
They pushed and pushed the fact that i had a very small chip on one tooth and i had a small gap in my front teeth and that i NEEDED Invisalign and NEEDED Zoom Whitening and put the forms in my hands and told me about payment options, when all i said was "Maybe". The dentist actually asked me how i felt about my chip and my gap and i replied with "Ok" and that wasn't good enough for them, so he asked again how I felt about it, "Just ok? Are you sure?" UMMM YEAH, it's fine dude, lay off. Soooooo.....
They have a lot of new technology, everything is clean and asthetically pleasing. It was the people and the salesmanship of the business turned me off and i'll not recomend them.
Pros: scheduling availability, parking, office layout
Cons: pushy with upselling everything, most staff yapping about their weekends and that they're reading the book "The Secret"
