This dentist restored my faith in dental care—and possibly humanity. Skilled, meticulous, kind, and refreshingly honest. No pressure, no fear tactics, just thoughtful care and real expertise. The staff is wonderful, the environment is calm, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re looking for a dentist who actually treats you like a human (not a mouth with anxiety), look no further.

Incredible experience at my first visit with Live Well Dentistry! Needed an emergency extraction and was referred to them by a good friend. As a certified dental chicken, Dr. Pouyan and staff did everything they could to make me feel comfortable and informed every step of the procedure. Years of dental visit trauma now feels completely gone. Thank you for everything!

I had a nice experience at LiveWell Dentistry. Staff was very friendly and had a short wait time before I was seen. They explained everything as they are working on you, which I liked. I also appreciated the feedback they give using new technology to improve your dental health and appearance, without being pushy. I will definitely be returning for future visits.

Dr Pouyan and all his staff are extremely professional and helpful. The hygienist and dentist are both very thorough and educational in their approach. The clinic is up to date with modern technology and uses that to further enhance the quality of their services. Happy and satisfied that I came across this clinic!

The hygienist, Geena, did her job perfectly. She tells me how she’s going to do the procedure every step of the way. They have modern equipment: handheld X-ray, scanner (3D picture of my teeth). Clean and sanitary facilities. Dr Pouyan is very patient in explaining the situation of my teeth and answering all my questions. So far, I’m happy with the service. Kudos also to Isabella and Rocio.
