Mahyar Mahboub, DDS APC

Dr. Mahboub is a professional and very detailed and informative. The lady upfront (Penny) on the other hand is very rude and disrespectful for that reason I’d rather go elsewhere.

I’ve been going to Dr. Mahboub for about 4 years now, and he’s been a fantastic dentist. Very honest and personable, he truly looks out for the patient’s best interest. Just recently he performed some bonding work on two chipped teeth of mine — work that was so well done I felt compelled to write a review on Unilocal :)
Can’t recommend him enough

SUUUPER CLEEAAAN
Yes, Dr. Mahboub and Penny are awesome!
My dad recommended me, and I have to say, I’m extremely glad he did. You will know right away that they are professional and humble.
The environment there is great, SUPER CLEAN and personal.
The work is 5-​star. I can tell by how he works, his analysis, and the RESULTS that I have.
He was really honest in giving me an Overlay (a lot less evasive, cheaper, and quick) once instead of a full crown, saying that it may not stick well due to the location of it, but it won’t be a full commitment of grinding your teeth down for a crown (and if anything we can always do a crown in the future, I was 30 and I have a way to go before simply just deeming a crown right away).
The other dentist I had said I have to have a crown and theres no way around it. He was a pretty good doctor also. But I’m 34 now and the overlay has proven to withstand the test of 4 years so far. If it does fall out at some point, I will then give in to a crown. Hopefully technology will offer an alternative by then. Just as the Overlay was a newer option. Love it.
Also, Dr. Mahboub always asks about your comfort level while your in the chair. He gives the best shots ever! His hands are magic. He doesn’t even have to do the shake-​technique much! I can barely feel it. You know those big chromed-​out syringes are intimidating enough as is (why do they make them like that anyways).
Sincerely,

He’s my dentist and I trust him completely. I remember asking him about teeth whitening whether it be better in the chair or a take home kit. He said he charges more in the chair, but the whitening doesn’t have a long effect. It’s that kind of honesty that makes me come back, knowing he’d make more, but telling me it doesn’t work as well as another product.

Dr. Mahboub is an accomplished and skillful dentist who will care for you in a professional and patient-​friendly office. I highly recommend him.

I’ve been going to Dr. Mahboub for about 5 years now and I plan to continue to use him as my dentist in the future.
One thing that’s really great is that Penny the assistant does a great job telling me what my insurance covers, so I can make informed decisions about what treatments to pick so I don’t pay out of pocket.
Dr. Mahboub is also great. I’m not a doctor so I use blunt methods to gauge whether a dentist is good or not; simply do I still get cavities after I start seeing him. I do a good job of brushing, flossing and taking my vitamin C. It seems to me I shouldn’t get cavities. With dentists in the past, no matter what, I would still get cavities.
With Dr. Mahboub, I had some fillings in the first 6 months, but haven’t had another cavity since. I’ve always been suspicious of my previous dentists that somehow they were creating work for themselves (because they kept on finding cavities), but I can’t say that about Dr. Mahboub since I haven’t had any new cavities.
So if you live or work in the Irvine/​Tustin area, I’d recommend giving Dr. Mahboub’s office a try.
