Simona C Arcan, DMD, MD

I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled by Dr. Arcan a few weeks ago. Needless to say, I was nervous about the procedure. I’m 22 years old and live in California without my family, so I was extra apprehensive without my mom by my side but Dr. Arcan and the entire staff held my hand through the whole experience. I booked my consultation and a week later had the teeth removed. I was on a limited time schedule between my semesters and they were very accommodating. There’s no way to make teeth extractions fun, but I couldn’t have had a better experience across the board. I will reccomend you guys to everyone I can, thank you for taking care of me :)

I had to have an implant and was referred to Dr Arcan by my dentist. Dr Arcan and all of her team are so kind and professional and welcoming, they made it enjoyable to go to the dentist (a miracle!). They answered my questions clearly and thoroughly and the procedure went smoothly. Then, as a BONUS, since Dr Arcan is a dentist AND a doctor, and I got a Juvederm treatment from her, as she provides this service as well. The next time I was out and about and asked for a senior discount, I was told I did not look like a senior! I had to pull out my drivers license to prove it! The treatment was subtle, yet effective, helping me look like a better me, not a different me. I would recommend Dr Arcan and her team without a second’s doubt!

I went to Dr. Arcan’s office this morning as a referral from my dentist relating to a problem I’ve been experiencing. First impression was great! The office was very clean and welcoming and upon walking in, the staff was already so friendly. Throughout my visit, I was impressed by the professionalism and compassion I received. They kept me informed of what was going on and it made the experience much better than I thought! I would highly recommend this place — although, would never want anyone to have to go to an oral surgeon! :)

I just got all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out just yesterday at Dr. Arcan’s office and had the absolute best experience that I had to write a review! From checking in to x-​rays to being explained financials and the procedure, everyone in the office was extremely helpful with answering all of my questions. Kelly was phenomenal, she was super nice and definitely calmed my nerves! Dr. Arcan also called me a few hours after the surgery just to check on how I was doing which I thought was also a nice gesture. Nothing but good things to say about this office!

Simply the best! This place should get double 5 stars!!! The staff and the dentist are just wonderful, professional and very nice! They explain everything in simple terms! All their equipment are state of the art and the place is super clean!
I’m going to refer all my friends and family to them!

I don’t know why I waited so long for this review but can I just tell you how amazing and fabulous my time was here at Dr. Simona Arcan’s office. After five years of waiting to get my wisdom teeth removed– yes I know, I’m stupid, I developed severe pericorinitis. As I should. You know when food gets trapped into your wisdom tooth between your gums and creates an infection, starts to secrete white puss, and develops into a fever forcing you to be on antibiotics? Yeah that disease. Okay so basically I tried going to a dentist in Irvine a year prior but I just had a bad experience with that dentist. Not going to name names but the review is on my page from like a year ago. After self diagnosing myself and dying from pericorinitis, I decided to check out Dr. Arcan’s office, which I found on Unilocal.
When I came to her office, I was very surprised by how chic the office was! The décor, the pillows, couches, and color scheme was very fabulous. Love a hip doctor’s office with style. Nevertheless, the staff was very friendly. I couldn’t remember the ladies’ names but I think one of them was named Kelsey. She was such a sweet heart. I was roomed right away and Dr. Simona Arcan was also perfect. For those who don’t know, she is also an MD and a DDS from USC. She diagnosed me with pericorinitis and prescribed me antibiotics. After taking that for a little over a week, I had no more white puss coming out of my mouth nor was I suffering from a fever. I was now ready to go under to take my left wisdom
teeth out, both top and bottom. All I remember was Dr. Arcan telling me that everything is going to be fabulous and next thing you know, the surgery is complete and I was done! I didn’t believe them at first until one of the dental assistants told me that I was snoring the whole time, which was good because it indicated that I was properly asleep during the surgery. I joked back at her and told her she was lying because I do not snore, I am a lady.
Recovery-​wise, I was ready and was kind of excited to look like a chipmunk. However, Dr. Simon Arcan was so amazing that I had no swelling at all! Wow! People did not believe that I had my wisdom tooth taken out until I showed them the gauze in my mouth. I endured the normal recovery period, and was properly taught by the office to wash out my holes with a syringe to significantly reduce the chances of dry socket.
Price-​wise, everything was very reasonable. Really loved this experience and office. I will definitely recommend and come back to get my right wisdom teeth taken out!

I am so thankful to Dr. Arcan. I had a very difficult case where I could have suffered from permanent jaw numbness. The very thought scared me to death. Dr. Arcan may be small in stature but that lady knows what she’s doing and I came out of the procedure free of any complications and absolutely zero jaw numbness. I was so thankful to her and her staff. The office is gorgeous and modern. And the staff was very kind and knowledgable. I pray I will never need her services again but I know where to go if I need an excellent oral surgeon.

Dr Arcan and her assistant Perla were great. I would highly recommend them. They have the latest technology and are very concerned for the health and safety of their patients. The rest of the staff are great as well. I am very fortunate that I found this office and had such a great experience.

Dr. Arcan and her ENTIRE staff are on point! I am amazed with their balance between being professional and making you feel like part of the family. It is very rare, at least in my experience, to walk into an office and everyone working in the office be friendly and professional. Most times either the nurses or front desk are completely rude, grumpy, and unhappy. That is definitely not the case here! I set up a consultation and it went very smoothly. They don’t try and push you into any one plan. The financial advisor gave me many options for my procedure (I had to get all 4 wisdom teeth taken out). They understand that these procedures can be pricy and really do work with you. I was extremely nervous to get put under and they just put my mind at ease. They will even sing Taylor Swift with you when you wake up! haha. The medication I was prescribed made me very drowsy and when I went back to work I called to see if there was anything I could do to ease the pain. They made me an appointment right away to come in, get looked at, and see if their was anything they could do. This was effortless and actually a pleasant experience? All in all I don’t know where Dr. Arcan discovered her staff and their amazing personalities and talent but I believe every doctor should visit her establishment to see what a professional and friendly atmosphere really is. I could honestly go on but moral of the story THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!

Simona and the whole team are really great to deal with, informative and friendly. I received nothing but truthful advice, a terrific customer service attitude and, while I did not complete the procedure (relocated interstate), I was always aware of my options and received excellent care for the part that was undertaken (removal of an infected molar). Highly recommended!

I had a really bad tooth issue. Not only was my back molar going bad but my sinus nerve was communicating with my bad tooth nerve. Ouch!!! I couldn’t even drink milk or eat ice cream the pain was so bad. I new we could not save the tooth and the sinus issue had to be dealt with. To say I was terrified would be an understatement as I had a bad experience with a different oral surgeon many years ago.
Dr. Arcan and her staff are wonderful. She pulled the tooth, did a bone graft and sinus closure. Wow what a difference I am already feeling 3 days later. My sense of smell has mysteriously come back and I can enjoy ice cream again! And the procedure was smooth as silk. I was sedated so I really didn’t feel a thing. I only had to take motrin and for two days. I was so scared about this I was literally crying the night before and morning of. I also only had minimal swelling. I am able to eat ice cream again.
Thanks so much Dr. Arcan & your wonderful staff for taking such good care of me and making this experience much better than I thought it would be!

I recently had to get a molar extracted due to a cracked/​infected root and also underwent a bone graft for a future implant. I was referred to Dr. Arcan by my dentist and came away very impressed. Not only was Dr. Arcan very professional and had great communication about what to expect, it was obvious that the entire staff enjoyed each other and liked to keep the environment as fun and relaxing as possible. Before and after my procedure there were a lot of laughs actually, so I really appreciated that and would recommend them to anyone. I’m fully expecting my future implant procedure to go well. I just wish my lame insurance covered more and got with the modern dentistry times.

The other reviews are consistent with our family’s experience (both my wife and I have had recent extractions). Well-​managed and friendly office, attentive staff, and efficient handling of the extraction. No argument about just local sedative, and out the door a few minutes later. Will be getting an implant through the same office and look forward to the process.

One word: AMAZING!!!
It’s so hard to find a skilled medical professional who truly cares and does a great job.
I have some unique issues that make easy procedures much more complicated… and Dr. Arcan and her staff helped me in every way possible to have a procedure that was as painless as possible, for me.
After my surgery… Dr. Arcan herself even called me from her home on the weekend to check up on me after my procedure. And, she also made sure that I got referrals to other specialists that are as helpful, professional and amazing as she is… and did an amazing job to make sure those specialists had the information necessary to help me get the care I need!
Because of my unique issues… I also have severe medical anxiety (due to prior bad experiences with less skilled and less caring dentists and doctors). Dr. Arcan really made me feel like I can get in control of my health and have a better quality of life again!
My fella is going to need his wisdom teeth extracted in the near future… and I cannot even imagine taking him to anyone else.
This woman is THE. BEST!
And, her staff is as incredible as she is!
Friendly. Professional. Caring.
I repeat: AMAZING!!!
I highly recommend this office to anyone who needs an oral surgeon!

Dr Arcan is amazing she is so wonderful and her team is amazing they are so friendlyand professional. The team worked with me and got me the days i wanted and everything absolutly no fuss or stress when planning my surgery. Ihad my wisdom teeth extracted and i was blown away to how i didnt swell and didnt bleed much at all. she is an amazing surgeon. If you need work done she is the surgeon to go to. I had the best experience here.
THANK YOU!

So friendly. Super professional. Beautiful office. Great follow-​up. Painless extraction. I can’t say enough. Both my husband and I have had wisdom teeth extracted here within the last two months and we were both blown away.
Thank you!

Had my top two wisdom teeth removed this morning and I am already feeling well in the afternoon. Dr. Arcan is very professional, caring, and explains everything you need to know about your options, the procedure, and recovery. Her staff are also professional and kind. She uses modern x-​equipment which is much more comfortable than having to shove those film wedges into your mouth like are needed sometimes.

Dr. Arcan came highly recommended from a friend of mine. My 13 year old daughter was a bit apprehensive about having 5 teeth pulled (all baby teeth) so that she could get braces. Dr. Arcan’s office was clean, friendly, professional and the staff was very friendly. Everything went perfectly and my daughter had no problems and healed perfectly. I highly recommend Dr. Arcan, she is smart, kind and an excellent dentist/​doctor.

Whoa. I was referred to Dr. Arcan by my dentist to have a wisdom tooth pulled, and was blown away by the awesomeness of the entire staff.
Just walking into the office was a breath of fresh air. The staff are tech-​savvy, super nice, very professional, and down to earth (read: didn’t treat me like I was the idiot patient who didn’t take care of her teeth).
After my initial consult, I had questions about my insurance and what was covered and what was, and the office has a person dedicated to the finance part of patient care, who explained everything to me in terms I could understand, again, without making me feel like an idiot patient. Not only did she explain everything to me, but she was willing to send my paperwork in to the insurance company to find out what they would cover before I went in for surgery, so I would know what I’d have to pay for before making any decisions about anesthesia. She didn’t try to sell me on anything I didn’t need, she truly had my best interest (health & financial) in mind.
Then the actual surgery. Everything was explained to me calmly and coolly, and everyone I came into contact with in the office put me at ease about my surgery. They double and triple checked the last time I’d eaten and what medications I was on before administering and anesthesia, let alone the procedure. Dr. Arcan and her staff were clean and sterile, and professional while maintaining a personable atmosphere.
The post-​op check up was quick, I was in and out in 5 minutes, with no complications. Everything is healing well, which tells me they did a great job of the surgery, and I couldn’t be happier.
I’d recommend Dr. Simone Arcan to anyone needing a wisdom tooth pulled because she not only does a great job, but surrounds herself with staff who really know how to put a personal touch on a profession that, frankly, scares the bejeezus out of a lot of people.

God forbid if you have to go to an oral surgeon. I wish this fate on no one. But thankfully, if you have to go to one, there’s people like Dr. Arcan that take ALL of the stress out of going through this process.
I don’t even know where to begin. I was just in awe from start to finish.
First off, her office took us in at the last minute, at the end of the day. We had a bad infection going on, and we needed relief now. Well, my wife did, anyway.
Then, how about that parking lot. Seriously, this is even a delight. Her office is in this very modern strip mall type property. It just has this aura of a Beverly Hills-​type vibe. Then, if you dare, walk in to her office. You will be amazed. It’s a treat to go in to a Dr’s office and appreciate the obvious attention to the décor. Crate & Barrel would be proud. And what? A selection of current magazines? You mean I don’t have to read «People» from 2-​years ago? I know, I’m giddy, and I haven’t even got to the Dr.
Ok, then there’s Dr. Arcan. I had this inclination to bow on my knees in her presence. Here’s this woman, all of 5-​feet tall, with enormous confidence and competence. It’s awe inspiring. She is so professional and intelligent, you have to wonder if she’s a prodigy or something. You look at someone with a DMD and an MD behind their name, and you expect them to have this pissed off attitude, or some ego that inferiorates you, but I found myself at ease and almost wishing I had another dental problem she could work on. Is that insane?
After the procedure, that evening, the Dr., herself, called my house to see how my wife was doing.
Her staff are friendly, and helpful. I loved everything about the experience … especially that the Dr. wasn’t such a prude about dishing out the meds. She actually gave us what we needed instead of trying to pass off some Extra Strength Tylenol at us. We’re still enjoying them from time to time too .
Somebody hit me in the mouth so I can go see this awesome Dr. again!
