PATIENT REVIEWS

Best dentist and dental staff ever. I live in Northern California. I came to Austin to visit family and to go with them to Cancun. 2 hours after arriving I woke from a nap with a raging tooth ache. Knowing I had only 2 days before we’d live for Mexico I needed help fast. I looked online for an “emergency” dentist as it was now after hours. To my surprise Dr. Arzegar called me back in a very short period of time. I explained my tooth pain and travel dilemma and he told me to come in first thing the next morning. I had a tooth that had been a problem for years and my “regular” dentist had been caressing it in hopes of saving it. That was no longer possible. Dr. Arzegar extracted the tooth, took extra care to stitch things shut so I wouldn’t have a problem and I went away to Mexico for a week. When I returned he examined it again to insure it had healed well. I was so impressed by him, his staff and especially his work that I asked him to extract another tooth I had that was to be removed when I got home (my bridge had broken just before I left and my home dentist did what he could to take care of it temporarily until I could get back) We then agreed on a long term care plan to get my teeth back in position and to replace the extracted teeth. I’m currently sporting a great set of invisiline braces. I’ve been back to Dr. Arzegar a couple of times now, each time as I come to or through the Austin area to visit family. I’ve decided to continue with him as my dentist as he is very knowledgeable and uses cutting edge techniques that my rural home dentist would have to send me off to receive. Dr. Arzegar has become a great reason for me to visit Austin and maybe even stop in to see the family while I’m in town.

I am so blessed to have found Lifetime Smiles. OMG I truly love tall so much and am truly thankful to have found your office. I am so grateful and you were so awesome. Your complete staff is amazing. The assistant Ms. Nicole and Dr. Arzegar and of course Mr. Julius whoever he is for the bone they put in my mouth to hopefully restore Growth. I am truly blessed. Seriously so emotional over the compassion and love this company showed me! You will definitely love this office

Lifetime Smiles is my dental care specialist of choice. This is not due to their high-tech dental chairs and X-ray machines (which are very impressive and State of the Art), not due to the politeness and professionalism of the staff and the friendly demeanor of Dr. Arzegar himself, nor to their exhaustive and reasonably priced dental examinations and consultations. There is only one word to describe it adequately: Integrity. That is something that’s in short supply these days and I get it in spades at Lifetime. I’ve had a few things I wasn’t quite happy with over the years, but integrity at Lifetime keeps me coming back, because that means I’m dealing with a reasonable, well mannered, professional and that makes all the difference. Dr. Arzegar reviews my options in detail, and lets me make the decision about the treatment plan. (He explains my dental issues after doing a thorough exam which includes advanced X-rays, which showed actual bacteria eating away at the roots of my teeth below the gums, amazing!) He’s very honest about what my likely results will be, regardless of whether it will be to his benefit. I always know where I stand with Dr. Arzegar and Lifetime Smiles and have come to expect professional advice, respectful treatment, and impeccable dental care.

I have had only great experiences here and I have come here for years. I just had a dental cleaning done and all dental hygienists here have always been great. I also got yearly x-rays and an exam done and got a clean bill of health. But as mentioned I have come here for years now and did have some known dental issues that did require crowns and crown replacements. Dr Arzegar has done exceptional work, always explained his work and procedures with Macro photography and or x-rays. This is a modern facility and Dr Arzegar uses the latest methods and I have never felt this good about any dentistry. Having lived all over the place and internationally my dental museum in my mouth received the needed renewal and attention it needed. Their staff also bats with your insurance company. Insurance companies are the ones dictating treatments based on old procedures and materials and the cheapest cost possible, but Dr Arzegar explains and gives you an upfront estimate if you have extensive work like I had and will work with insurance company and yourself. Now I can make it through dental appointments without issues and I thank this dental praxis Dr Arzegar and his staff at all levels. I can only recommend this dentist office. If you want cheap, old tech dentistry, check with your local community health centers because what I read in other ‘reviews’ definitely does not represent this professional and exceptional dentistry.

I’ve had horrible experiences with dentistry that left me traumatized. Recently, began to notice tooth sensitivity and panicked. Diligent in dental care because of my fear. Found Lifetime and am so happy! Dr. A is AHHH-Mazing! Caring, kind, compassionate, patience, and a gentle soul. EXACTLY what my prayers for a dentist. I went in at 10a and 3.5 hours later, prepped for two crowns – had cracked teeth and broken fillings! IF you are like me, scared to death of dental procedures, and dentists, period – – this is the place for you. From the time you walk in, you are cared for.

I was so pleasantly surprised by my visit. I got a dental cleaning, exam and xray on groupon and so I wasn’t sure what kind of service I was going to get and was worried they were going to try to up-sell me (they did not). There was a little mixup with my appointment, but they made it right. I got 10 xrays of my teeth (I’ve normally only gotten 4 of my molars). Dr. Arzegar is great! He reminds me so much of my dentist at home before I moved here, outgoing and gregarious. This office did something cool that I have never had before, he was able to use a small camera to take pictures of my teeth to show me some of the buildup and my sealants. During my cleaning I was able to watch TV which is always nice. The only thing is that I didn’t get a toothbrush and toothpaste before I left. I always get a toothbrush and toothpaste from the dentist, lol. Guess I’ll have to go buy one. And of course continue to floss.

Staff is very friendly and my appointments usually run on time (not more than 5-10 minutes late, if they do run behind). After a visit that included numbing my gums, Dr A said he would call to follow up and he did! Found that reassuring. When I attempted to call the office from their website, I was told the number was not working. I called Dr A back at the number he’d used and he immediately returned my call and helped me schedule my needed appointment. I greatly appreciated Dr A’s patience with my numerous questions and his thorough explanation of what work needed to be done. My only concern is that I can overhear his conversations with patients sitting in the next chair.

I highly recommend this dental office. I had an appointment at Dr Arzegar’s office this week. The dentist took time to point out my dental issues on X-ray and, also, on a mouth photo. He set up a plan of action to address my cracked tooth and an old bridge that needs to be changed. The dentist was patient with my questions and, was also willing to re-explain everything to my wife. I also had a good experience with the friendly office front desk. I had a great dental cleaning with Alicia. I look forward to my return visit to this office.

I am not an easy patient and have past trauma from some procedures at other dental offices. At Lifetime Smiles they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The technology is amazing and everything is explained to me and shown in pictures and xrays. Dr. Arzegar always calls and checks on me when I have had work done to make sure I am ok. I found my way to Lifetime Smiles when I was in pain over a weekend and I had not been to the dentist in years. I was not a patient yet but I filled out a form on their website about my issue and I actually got a call from Dr. Arzegar over the weekend and he told me to come in first thing on Monday. I know I am in good hands here and that they really care. They are now stuck with me and we are working to get my teeth as good as we can get them.

We have had the pleasure of working with this clinic for the last two years and I couldn’t be happier with the consistency and flexibility of the staff. All three of my children recieve services and Dr.Arzegar always displays genuine interest and offers easy plans and suggestions for optimal dental results. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and overly friendly. The efficiency is well maintained and the highest standards of hygiene are consistently displayed. We have shared such positive experiences that I even chose my insurance based on who they accept! Plus my little bugs rant and rave over their exceptional collection of “reward toys” they get to pick for good behavior! All of this being said, I must add how hard I am to please so if they can make me happy, they deserve the credit!!! Great job!!

For about 7 months now I have been going to Lifetime Smiles every two weeks for my invisalign braces.Its affordable for someone young like myself and the appointment reminders online help me out a great deal with my bad habit of forgetting appointments. I am always welcomed with warm and cheerful personalities, and every individual working there always take the time to see how ive been and make sure everything is perfect before I leave.My teeth are a complex case, and Dr. Arzagar and everyone working there get as excited as I do the more progress my braces show.It shows they honestly care about every person they take care of.I personally dislike any dental work, it freaks me out. But going to Lifetime every two weeks isnt a hassle or any amount of stress for me,its welcoming, professional and sincere.I would recommend anyone to go here if they want to not just get fantastic dental services but to be treated as more than just another patient.

They are great! Ashley was awesome at getting my teeth clean and making sure I was comfortable during my hour gum cleaning. She also gave me tips on how to help the sore gums which was great. They also nicely answered all of my questions and explained everything to me which I really enjoyed.

Dr. A is still the bomb! The office staff puts up with my billing nonsense (sometimes I pay, sometimes my parents pay, my dad has moved jobs which has resulted in multiple insurance changes, all without insurance cards… I’m a nightmare.) and they put up with my constantly changing my appointment around (full time student who works 30 hours a week- the schedule struggle is real.) I’ve read the reviews. And they are entirely inconsistent with the Dr.A I know. Although he gives me the friendly reminder that I’ve got some crowding going on (I agree man, I gotta get that handled… Eventually.) he has never made me feel uncomfortable when I’m like “I can’t hit my parents up for that, yo, and I got school to finish brutha” and has never pushed any kind of dental work on me, even when he easily could have. In fact, let’s go on a story adventure. I actually met Dr. A by a desperate plea to ~10 dentists to “pleeeease see me I am going to die for sure” I had 11 fillings done at one time by my last dentist, who was probably a part time jail warden on the side. A few months later, one of the teeth that had the filling hurt so bad when exposed to warm or cold, I basically stopped eating and drinking for a few days. Now, why would a college student subject starvation and avoid a dentist? $$$ of course, or a lack thereof. I eventually got desperate enough to throw my soul and whatever money I could gather at anyone who could fix my mouth, and Dr. A was the first to call me to come on over. After investigating, Dr. A found that basically my sinuses were so stuffed up that it was crowding up the roots of the painful tooth. I was convinced by Google that I needed a root canal. *If* Dr. A was some money hungry dentist, he could have taken me for a ride, absolutely. But he absolutely did not. He told me to take some mucinex and get hydrated and the pain will go away, and it did. He could have easily made up some type of invasive procedure I “needed” and I would have done it, no question. Additionally, he *did* recommend a night guard that I had needed for some time, to which I still use every night and do not regret in the least. It wasn’t related to my initial reason for the visit, and was a huge benefit. Two birds, one stone. TL;DR 10/10 would recommend, Dr. A wasn’t, and still isn’t, a crook. He’s actually a dentist baller who knows what’s up and will make your mouth hurt less and be healthier. Oh and the office staff are saintly humans who put up with even the worst kind of person, ie. Me.

Very Impressed. The people here are so darn friendly and prompt. You walk in and immediately they great you with a smile and offer you a beverage, and the wait time was next to nothing. The office inside is really top notch you kinda wish you could wait a little longer! They have the kind of hygienists that are thorough but very gentle and the Dr is really awesome too. He actually sits down with you after and shows you everything thats going on and explains what everything means, I have never seen such a more caring dentist…like ever! I’ve actually already told my sister to switch to this dentist and I’m looking forward to my next visit haha who says that?!

My 2 young children and myself recently had appointments at Lifetime Smiles.  Dr. Arzegar and his staff were wonderful with my kids.  My oldest, who is scared of most doctors, warmed up to everyone.  She was very nervous at the beginning, but Dr. Arzegar and the hygienist were patient and understanding. We all had a very good experience and would highly recommend this dentist!

Happened to stumble into the office as my insurance changed and needed to find one.  Was not too impressed with the view from the parking lot, but thrilled I didn’t let that stop me and my family from going in.  What a suprise.   The staff was so hlepful, and kind.  We scheduled appts. after meeting them and enjoying the beautiful office.  They sent us confimation emails (very handy) and treated all of us with care.  We were given a great cleaning, xrays and handly goody bags.  The Dr. met with each of us individually to exchange information and answer questions.  Words cannot describe how friendly the staff is!!  If you need a dentist, look no further.. just saying.

Have to say.. One of the NICEST MOST PROFESSIONAL and COST EFFECTIVE Dental visits I have EVER HAD Answered a Living Social deal $39 for xray and exam and cleaning and review of needed work. Would be cheap at 2x the price. The reception Professional , personable , attentive.. Offered me bottled water, even had a KURG coffee machine I used AFTER the exam LOL They have a back massage chair and that was VERY nice too. The Hygienist – Calm , informative, professional and very nice.. gave me a tour of the whole facility, went over the details of what I would expect in my visit and took easy quick xrays of my teeth. Dr. Shahram Is kind and professional and NOT pushy at all. He performed a wonderful cleaning.. I had not had one in 2 years and my teeth looked AWESOME.! He was gentle and concise and very fast. After the cleaning I was given a review of my findings after they reviewed my screening and xrays I was given a detailed itemization of my current dental needs broken down into details and cost for each need THIS WAS handy and appreciated. I was also given a copy of ALL the assessment and Services Performed .. Dr. Shahram also offed me a number of payment options and had NO HARD SELLING . UP SELLING to get the work done.. I appreciate this as I have NO insurance The overall experience was VERY VERY GOOD and REWARDING.. and INFORMATIVE.. I would go so far as to REFER MY OWN MOTHER to this Dental Group. My highest rating I am looking at some of the OTHER postings here and THIS MUST BE A NEW Dental PRACTICE OWNER.. As in HE must have taken OVER this practice.. because this DOES NOT Sound like the same office AT ALL Thank you DCC

My entire family goes to Lifetime Smiles for dental care! Everyone is so welcoming, and Dr. A. genuinely cares about the health and well-being of his patients. Brooke has consistently talked me down from anxious phone calls and patiently answered all of my questions! She is amazing, and there is no better place in Austin for quality dental care!

These people are exceptional! I had severe tooth pain & was procrastinating going to the dentist for fear of the procedure. I walked in and immediately felt at ease. Their team is kind & helpful. Dr. Arzegar talked me through everything & made sure I was comfortable. Also, I was aware of how much everything would cost up front & had no surprises when it came to payment. All around great experience.

I just finished extensive cosmetic dental work with Dr Arzegar. It took 3 appointments (for my problems), but, WOW, the results are soo worth the time. Dr Arzegar and his assistant, Nicole, were especially supportive, understanding of my needs, answering my concerns, and very professional throughout. I appreciated the office’s front desk staff; everyone I encountered was very accommodating, friendly and professional. I felt reassured when I saw all the staff taking COVID-19 precautions: temperature checks, scheduling and spacing, air purifiers and filtration throughout the office. As for my smile, it’s just amazing how Dr Arzegar has been able to transform it; I would wish it for everyone! I had a pain free experience with each appointment. I recommend Dr A to all my family and friends.

Broke a tooth the week of my birthday a year ago, on a piece of bread no less. In a panic, I got in touch with Lifetime Smiles soon thereafter. The decision to go with a dental implant was an expensive one, but it was the right one, and with the right doctor. Dr. A cut no corners with my treatment. I don’t usually get nerves when I go to the dentist, but an implant was a whole other world of treatment than the cleanings I was used to. Dr. A and his staff did excellent work, always making sure things were done exactly right, and ensuring that I was well taken care of. I have to thank Lifetime Smiles for providing the best possible care for me throughout the long process of getting a dental implant. They’re great with their standard and usually cleanings as well, but I would certainly recommend Dr. A for any implant treatment you might need. Now as I approach my next birthday, I’ve got a new pearly white implant healthily in place.

I had major dental surgery and left with a full set of dentures.  It took longer to complete than I was told, but complications arose during the procedure that made the process longer.  I was admittedly nervous, but the dentist and anesthesiologist were caring and alleviated my anxiety.  Unlike other dental procedures I’ve gone through, I was confident in their ability to complete the procedures with no complications.  Given that it was major surgery with bone grafts and an unexpected amout of infection complicating the procedure, I think they did a wonderful job on my mouth.  I am having the usual swelling, bruising, etc., with such a long procedure, but Dr. Arzegar has gone out of his way to check up on my progress in the days after the surgery to make sure I was having no difficulties in the recovery process.  I would certainly recommend Dr. Arzegar to anyone for any procedure they might need.  He was caring and professional, just what a good dentist should be.  Thank you for my new smile!

Dr. Arzegar was able to see my daughter the day after she had unexpectedly broken a tooth. I really appreciated him making time in his schedule for this emergency. He had previously done work on another of my children’s teeth and done a beautiful job. This time it turned out equally well – the tooth looks amazing. His bedside manner was super friendly and informative, and my daughter, who is 10, seemed comfortable the entire time. The staff was very friendly and competent. I would highly recommend this practice!

Dr. Arzgar is the best Dentist I have ever had the pleasure of working with! He takes special care to explain the procedures to me, given me wonderful referrals for other services, and always goes above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and well informed. I can’t say enough good things about him! His staff is amazing too! Great practice! Go see this Man!

Dr. A and his staff did a great job with me. Everyone was polite and patient with my questions. I had to go in immediately due to my wisdom tooth causing so much pain. At the consult with Dr. A, he let me know what he RECOMMENDED I can do. Unlike other people said, he never pressured me into dental work or make me feel uncomfortable, he simply let me know my options. And yes, I hadn’t been to the dentist in two years so he let me know of other dental work that should be done, but he only notified and informed me about the work. He never brought it up again or asked if I wanted to get started with that work. I ended up getting some wisdom teeth taken out without sedation. Dr. A and his assistant made sure I was ok the whole surgery, he even called me later that day to see how I was doing! I was skeptical about going here because of the negative reviews, but DONT listen to those people. Dr. A and his staff are awesome!!!! I’m glad I found a great dentist to go to! 🙂

Dr A, What a phenomenal job you have done on my mouth. I came to you for a second opinion and ended up using you for treatment. Everything I’ve wanted including GREAT service. You have a wonderful chair side manner and a fantastic staff. I so appreciate that you even spent your Saturday doing my implants and poor Brook hung in there with us even though it took longer than we expected because the chemo had softened the bone. All the while knowing she had her daughter’s Birthday party to attend. I love her for that and you for letting her go the minute we reached a point where you could handle it yourself. I’ve had nothing but the best care ever! And I have spent a lot of my lifetime in a dentist chair. You’re the best. All the people I have referred have personally thanked me for the referral. Keep up the great work and I will keep smiling thanks to you and the crew!!! Bobby

We love Lifetime Smiles! My whole family goes to Dr. A for cleanings and dental work. My three and five year old boys look forward to going to the dentist. The hygienists are patient with my kids and Dr. A is great with them as well. I have had several fillings done in the office and Jessica, up front, always makes sure to double check insurance and billing so I know what I’m getting into. The entire staff is great and welcoming, but Jessica is stand out amazing! I recommend Lifetime Smiles to my friends all the time!

I have been a patient for over 4 years now! I just finished my treatment and had my 4th crown done! sure it took a long time to finish all I needed, but I had to get myself together financially. These guys are phenomenal! The staff are always happy to see you! I’m always taken back right on time and never had to wait at all. Dr. Arzegar himself called me the night of my appointment to check up on me. How cool is that! I can tell he genuinely cares! Jessica is super sweet. She is very accommodating specially given the fact I’m super busy. I love the TVs. I’m always so distracted with the cable that I don’t realize they’re working on me. The place is super high end and beautiful and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into the design to make sure people feel at ease. I highly recommend these guys as they are honest and caring. I find that hard to find nowadays. I referred 6 friends already over the years as I believe great behavior and compassion should be rewarded. I hope they keep the same level of costumer service and care. Having said all that, I look forward to just getting cleanings from now on:) I hate the feeling of being numb:) Check them out, you won’t regret it. God speed!

Dr. A is the best. He is detailed and compassionate. These traits are hard to come by in the world of Dentistry. Brooke is always going above and beyond to ensure my needs are met. The office as a whole works well together, and the energy is great among them. When I came to them I had several issues with previous dental work that had been done. Since that time, Dr. A has worked very hard to rectify the mistakes made by others. Absolutely Amazing!

Dr. Arzegar is the best. I first came to him two years ago when I had a dental emergency while visiting family from another state and preparing to leave the country with them on vacation. He made sure he took care of my problem and and after we returned home he came in early one morning to do a follow-up exam before I went to the airport to return home. Since that time he’s been my dentist and I have moved to the Austin area. He and his staff are very friendly and he is extremely conscientious. I would recommend no one else in the area to be your dentist.

Dr. Arzegar and staff rock! They did a great job, and provided a great environment. I also liked that he referred me out to a specialist (check out my review on that office) for my root canal. When I first came in the Doctor did go over my options and made recommendations. I liked that and expect that from a professional. I wish that I had found the good Dr. much earlier in my life. My mouth would be in better shape now! So, do and your family a favor and check out this practice!!!

it is strange for me to read these negative reviews because they are nothing like my experience at this facility. I have recently returned for a deep cleaning cavity fill and some other lightt work and I must say that this is the first time I can go to a dentist and not feel trepidation or fear of pain. I love the fact that my appointment is at 1 o’clock and I am sitting in the dental chair at 1:01 and not waiting like an idiot outside for a doctor that has intentionally overbooked himself. This doctor takes his time and does not rushing anything to empty a chair for his next client. He uses some type of painkiller on what looks to be a q-tip before using a needle so that you don’t even know needle is being put in your mouth and you feel 0 pain from it. He uses the rub on pain killer and let you sit for several minutes and then when he uses the needle you don’t even feel he lets you set for another 10 minutes relaxing watching TV built into the ceiling above your head so that when he finally does return to work on you you’re totally relaxed and you feel absolutely nothing throughout the whole procedure. It has been my experience in the past that doctors and dentist alike treat you and get you out as fast as possible so they can get someone else in that very same chair. I like the fact that this doctor does not behave that way. While I was waiting for him to come back to me I could hear him several seats away talking to a young child. I was overly impressed with how much the child liked him and how relaxed the child was. That’s saying something in my opinion. Kids don’t like doctors or dentist but this man has the ability to make even a child feel calm and relaxed while being worked on.I have an appointment to return this month and I’m bringing my 16 year old daughter with me to get her braces. The facility is top notch and the same as what I’m used to going to in midtown Manhattan. No expense spared in providing comfort to the patients and you can tell immediately that all of the dentst tools and equipment are brand new and cutting edge technology. If you want to take your kids or yourself to some old fashioned dental clinic you go right ahead as for me I will never go any place other than lifetime smiles.these people complaining about insurance issues have no bearing on the quality of this dental practice. It’s absurd to try and blame a doctor for you’re insurance problems. I also disagree with trying to compare the opinions of two different doctors especially when you’re trying to compare this dentist and his elite practice to the Stone Age facility you are used to going to

This is going to seem crazy, but I look forward to my visits at Lifetime Smiles.  Most people dread sitting in the dentist chair, but the minute I walk in the office, I am greeted and asked if I want something to drink.  It’s as if I have walked into a friend’s house!  The staff is super friendly and professional and you should have seen them on Halloween.  The girls in the office were Tooth Fairies!  They were adorable!  Dr. Arzegar set me up with Invisalign Braces and I am very satisfied with my progress!  I would highly recommend Lifetime Smiles to everyone needing dental work or orthodontia!  Very cool office with awesome people!

Had an emergency issue come up with a cracked tooth on Thursday evening. Called Lifetime Smiles after hours and quickly received a call back from the doctor who agreed to see me first thing the next morning. Had to remove the tooth but all things considered the whole process was great. They were comforting and explained everything to me as we went along and the recovery has been smooth sailing. Would definitely recommend!

I love the way the doctor and the staff treat me like a person and not just another set of teeth! They’re so friendly and go out of their way to make their patient’s comfortable. The ambiance made my visit more wonderful and relaxing. It’s the first time I’ve left a dental office feeling positive and excited about my oral health. The facilities are super clean, the staff is very friendly and very professional. Two thumbs up! 🙂 You guys were so pleasant and gentle (especially Cristina, Dental Hygienist!)  The flat screen tvs added to the comfort of the entire experience. I loved not feeling like I was actually in a “dental office”. No “white coat syndrome” here. I highly recommend Lifetime Smiles to anyone seeking a pleasant, non-threatening dental environment. This was a great experience! The staff and Dr. were so geniune, caring and knowledgable. Thank you Lifetime Smiles!!

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
