What Patients Say

5 star reviews

This team is the best: Dr. Nateghi, Denese, Natalia, Jesse. Dr. Nateghi was my dentist for many years but when he left the other clinic, I ended up in the hands of another dr. Who I think doesn’t know what she was doing with my implant. I was horrified and panicking when I left her office. I looked for dr. Nateghi. He immediately saw me the same day and fixed the issue of the previous dentist. The entire team is super friendly and professional. Thank you, Sunrise Dental Studio for your professionalism.

Dr. Nateghi, and the entire staff at Sunrise Dental Studio, are absolutely first-rate. My wife and I followed Dr. Nateghi from Strong Smiles and are so glad we did. Not only is he an exceptional dentist but, importantly for us, he takes the time to explain why each procedure is necessary. I have moderate dental-anxiety and he is great with that too. Finding an outstanding dentist is difficult, and we are happy to share about our excellent experiences with Dr. Nateghi and Sunrise Dental Studio.

I had a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist. Dr Yau and her staff were kind, patient, understanding, and extremely supportive. When you go here you’re going to get a thorough plan to get your teeth where they feel comfortable. At 42 I finally had to get needles in my mouth and I NEVER felt anything. They took amazing care of me. I’m so lucky to have found Sunrise Dental Studio.

Justin T.

TI contacted Sunrise Dental Studio with a toothache. They were able to schedule an appointment as early as possible to diagnose the issue. Dr Yau found that I needed a root canal and contacted a local Endodontist who could perform the procedure that same day! They also scheduled the follow up appointments to have the crown fitted post-root canal! I recommend Sunrise Dental Studio as they go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of!
