ProviDent Dental Group

Good dental office. Newly remodeled and doctors are great. Saturday are hard to get an appointment but they always try to accommodate in the evening.

After having a bad experience elsewhere, I definitely did not want to go back to the dentist. Then a friend referred me to Dr Ara. He and his staff are amazing. Tanya is always very helpful and accommodating on the phone. His back office staff is always very professional and kind. Office is always clean. Dr Ara and Dr Ani always make sure that I am nice a relaxed. He also gives great shots. I never thought I would say this, but I actually look forward to going to my dental appointments. Glad to be a patient of theirs.

My son and I have been coming to Dr. Ara Gulleserian at ProviDent Dental Group for over 5 years. I highly recommend Dr. Ara and staff because they CARE about their patients. They are gentle, caring, knowledgeable, skillful and have a state of the art facility. We feel and are treated like family.
If you are looking for a great dentist, do yourself a favor and give them a try and you’ll be the ones writing this recommendation next.
Best,

The best day of my life was finding Dr. Ara and Dr. Ani. They are the most caring and skilled dentists that I have ever gone to. I needed a lot of cosmetic work done that other dentists had totally screwed up., While most dentists will say that they do cosmetic dentistry, they are not qualified for it. Dr. Ara and Dr. Ani are not only great cosmetics dentists, but are wonderful in everything they do. They are so thorough and kind, that it makes it a pleasure going there. Their office staff is the best ever; everyone so kind and welcoming. Office is lovely.
My teeth look absolutely beautiful. I am so happy with them and I found them through their reviews on Unilocal.If you are looking for top, professional dentists to go for regular dentistry or cosmetic, this is the place to go. They work so hard for you to make sure that everything perfect.
I highly recommend them, and I will be one of their patients for life!
As far a I am concerned, the are the absolutely best!

Dr. Ara and his team are great. When my previously fabulous dentist completely messed up my crowns, Dr. Ara was able to fix them and stop all the pain I had. The office is clean, it’s easy to get an appointment, and I never have to wait. What else can you ask for?

The first time I visited this office I saw Dr. Ara. He was quick, pleasant, and did great work. The next time I came in, because a crown came off, I saw Dr. Ani Toomanian, who was a real pleasure and as excellent as Dr. Ara. Plus, she’s very happy and efficient and as beautiful as Sandra Bullock. Who’s knows, maybe she is Sandra Bullock researching a part for Horrible Bosses 3 because Jennifer Anison can’t do it, I don’t know. I saw Dr. Ani the third time and I have to see her a fourth time to get a new crown put on. Twist my finger. I’ve rarely been to the dentist in my life, who knew I’d look forward to it so much?

I was really exited to have such a highly rated dentist within walking distance of my house. I Unilocal almost everything (probably to a fault) and Unilocal has only let me down one other time. I had one appointment and will never go back despite living so close by. The office was nice and clean and the chairs were comfy. I liked that I had a dream personal tv screen to watch. Clearly a lot of money has been put in this office. However, I did not like Dr. Ara. I found him abrasive and he seemed like he was trying to find as much work as possible to do in order to make more money. I did not get the impression he cared about me as a patient. He was combative instead of collaborative about work that might have needed to get done.
I also didn’t like their business practices. I have insurance with an FSA with automatic payments so if I get a bill from a doctor it automatically withdraws from my FSA instead of sending me a bill (but in network dental cleanings and x Rays are 100% covered, which is what I went in for). Dr. Ara might be great and cheap if you don’t have insurance, but the way he bills if you do is very shady. They don’t partner with insurance companies. They are in network with no one. So what they do is overcharge the insurance company to see what they will cover and then depending on how much they cover, they decide how much they will charge you. I was overcharged by $ 150, so my insurance company automatically withdrew $ 150 from my FSA as my portion of what «wasn’t covered» even though Dr. Ara was just going to drop that part of the bill, which created a huge headache between myself and my insurance company.
Needless to say, I will not be going back, despite them booking me a second cleaning without asking.

Yes! Doctor Ara is the best, and event his assistants is very nice too. They making very good job, I am very happy with them staff! Highly recommend!

Dr Ara is the best dentist I ever had. Last Christmas I was dying of a tooth pain and tried to get in contact with any dentist that would see me ASAP. But as expected no one was available so my friend recommended me Dr Ara. He called me and scheduled a appointment the next morning and removed my molar that was very damaged. Witch was so kind because I figured he would be with his family. But anyway…
Since then I been coming here regularly to make sure my teeth are good. He is such a caring person that makes sure you are comfortable with every procedure. The staff are really nice girls and they always call you to remind you of your appointment. Plus the facility is very clean and organize. I love love love coming here. Thanks Dr Ara.

I used to hate and dread going to the dentist! I was referred to him by my cousin. His office is GREAT! They are polite and welcoming. My appointment started on time. The dental hygienist was so nice as well and her and Dr. Ara had no problem answering my questions and explaining to me what work had to be done. Dr. Ara ended up removing two of my wisdom teeth and re-​doing two fillings with composite. It’s not fun getting wisdom teeth pulled but Dr. Ara really made it bearable. Now I know why three of my cousins come to him. I referred a friend as well and she was happy with their services as well. Happy I found a new dentist that I don’t dread going to. He definitely deserves all these 5 star ratings.

Dr. Ara is by far the best dentist! I LOVE the whole staff there! He has been my dentist for about 10 years now. Growing up, I had many, many teeth problems. Had many different dentist too. It seemed like the more I went to the dentist the more problems I was having. I kinda think a lot of dentist are the cause of many problems in your mouth.
After Dr. Ara became my DDS I completely stopped having all major teeth problems. Actually, I’ve had no problems at all. Of course, I spent the first two years seeing him regularly because he had to fix and redo my whole mouth. I even had an implant done. I love Dr. Ara! His wife works the front office and she is really awesome too. He is also so freakin hilarious, as well as very honest. I look forward to many more years of being his patient. Even though he keeps telling me to take care of my teeth because he won’t be a dentist forever. I know he will!
Thank you Dr Ara, Yvette, and everyone else there!

My 17 year old, 12 year old, my self and Bride, we all love this doctor… he is patient and explains things in normal terms.
Correction, my sis-​in-​law was the one that recommended us to Dr. Ara. can’t say enough good things about him and his staff.(Tanya and Yvette)

Dr. Ara is the best!!! I have been to several dentists over the years and they were not trustworthy let alone very gentle. Sorry but I’m sensitive with my teeth and I tend to take care of them so when dentists come up to me saying I have poor teeth, it throws up a red flag; not over here.
I was referred by one of my supervisors to come in and see Dr. Ara. Right away the staff dental assistants and most of all Dr. Ara were all helpful, welcoming and most of all reassuring that I was in good hands. Looking back I’m so glad I received this referral and go to this dental office for all my work. I even referred my parents, and they have the worst case scenario for teeth.
This past year I have had wisdom teeth pulled, cleanings, fills, and even a root canal and all taken care of right away and followed up if needed. If there is ever a concern or discrepancy (usually never) they are more than willing to assist me. Thanks to Dr. Ara and his staff I don’t dread going to the dentist and actually look forward and happy to refer him to my family and friends.

I have done countless procedures with Dr Ara including invisilign, cavities, whitening, and more. Clean, comfortable, and professional dental practice. I highly recommend

I was so afraid the go to the dentist… if you are like me– please please do yourself a favor and visit Dr. Ara!

My entire life my mother has been picking dentists for me and let me tell you she was not very good at it. Every dentist I’ve gone to has made my visit a nightmare. My coworker told me one day how much she loves her dentist, since i’m very well aware she has a huge fear of needles, I was fascinated and I didn’t have one at the time since I had just became an adult and could make my own decisions I thought I’d give him a try… I will never look for another dentist. Dr. Ara has fixed so many of the mistakes my past dentists had made and for such a good price. I didn’t think I could afford to fix all of the problems but he did the most important one first and now I can freely smile all day! I honestly get excited to go to him every two weeks!

Best dentist ever.
History: Growing up I hate seeing the dentist. I have very sensitive teeth since I was a young child. I have to take special care of all the products I use to ensure it doesn’t irritate them.
Referral: I was referred from my ex-​coworker, who was referred by our other co-​worker whom referred a lot of people. A lot of people were surprised about how I commented on Dr. Ara so I referred them as well so that they can see it for themselves. He’s been my dentist for over 2 years now.
The works: Dr. Ara is very accommodating. He will always take x-​rays every time I visit to ensure everything is ok. He will only let me know the necessity and not to up-​sale anything I do not need. Not to mention, I have never forked out a penny through filling all my cavities, cleaning, x-​rays, and my crown. Yup, you heard me. The best part is that they always call you during the week to remind you of your appointment. They are very flexible if something comes up and you can’t make it. As long as you keep them informed, they’ll work with you.
I cannot say enough good things about this place. If you have dental insurance you need to come here!
Park on the street parking outside since the parking lot is very tiny and it is very unlikely you will find parking there.

Dr. Ara was recommended to me by a friend and let me just say he is one of the most honest and down to earth dentist I have met in a long time.
And let me say I have met a several! Because I have had a lot of work done lately.
I had a bad experience with Dr. Gabbay In Van Nuys, CA many years ago.
But after meeting Dr. Ara, I realized there are good dentist left out there that do care about the health of your teeth. :)
Dr. Ara was friendly, sincere, down to earth. His work was well done.
I recommend him to anyone in search of a good dentist.

Dr. Ara is a great dentist. I’ve been going to him for years and have been satisfied after every visit. His practice is clean. He has a very friendly and professional staff. They’re also very flexible with scheduling appointments. I love that they call me a day before each appointment as a reminder. I’ve recommended this practice to family and friends. You should check it out too.

It was time to change dentists (long story), but I’m so glad I found this office, where Arthur Gulesserian, DDS, does business. The state-​of-​the art operation is impressive, including the digital x-​rays, with their instantaneous projection onto the computer monitor. For nervous patients like me, Dr. G. is gentle and compassionate, but he is honest about work that needs to be done (those color photos exam chair-​side don’t lie!).
There is a full complement of office staff, who greet patients like they’re visiting dignitaries. It’s best to get there early in the morning, however, because parking in the lot is a wee bit scarce.
