Patient Outcomes
The kinds of transformations we see.
Every case is unique. These are the categories of care that bring patients to our Walnut Creek practice — and the framing we use when planning treatment together.
Full-Arch Restorations
Patients who were managing failing dentition or struggling with dentures returning to fixed, natural-feeling teeth — often in a single surgical day.
Single & Multiple Implants
Replacing one tooth or several, coordinated with the patient's restorative dentist for a result that fits seamlessly.
Wisdom Teeth & Extractions
Comfortable removal with the anesthesia option each patient chose — and structured next-day follow-up.
Complex & Referred Cases
Zygomatic implants, bone grafting, and reconstructive work for patients referred by Bay Area dentists and specialists.
From Google Reviews
In patients' words.
Verbatim excerpts, attributed by first name and last initial as published on Google.
I never write reviews for medical professionals, but had to make sure I wrote one for Dr. Alijanian's office. From the moment I set foot into his office I was put at ease.
— Destini M. · Google My experience hasn't been painful or miserable at all like everyone told me to expect, which I believe is just a reflection of Dr. Alijanian's expertise and refined skill at his craft.
— Erica N. · Google I am afraid of needles — even a shot in the arm. Dr. Alijanian and the assistants did everything to make it easier; it was painless.
— Linda S. · Google I told Dr. Alijanian I was still awake — he told me the procedure was over. If you are putting off a dental procedure because of fear of the IV, I can say just do it.
— Penelope S. · Google Dr. Alijanian and his staff were so very warm, friendly and incredibly professional. He clearly explained every step of the treatment plan.
— Tracy M. · Google Staff fit me in as a new patient for a wisdom tooth extraction. Very professional and removed my tooth in about 5 seconds. Great office!
— Lynne F. · Google Procedure was completed in a very timely manner and Dr. Alijanian was extremely knowledgeable, professional, efficient and precise.
— Deirdre M. · Google
