I recently visited Elite I cannot express how impressed I was with the exceptional service provided by the entire staff.
From the moment I walked in, the receptionists greeted me with warm smiles and a friendly demeanor, making me feel welcome and at ease. The check-in process was quick and efficient, and they took the time to answer all my questions about my insurance and treatment options.
The dental hygienist who attended to me was not only professional but also incredibly gentle and attentive. She explained each step of the cleaning process, ensuring I was comfortable throughout. Her thoroughness and expertise made a significant difference in my experience, and I appreciated her tips on maintaining oral hygiene.
Dr. Lari and his assistant Nayeli were equally fantastic. They took the time to review my dental history and conducted a comprehensive examination. His approach was patient-centered, and he made sure to discuss any concerns I had, providing clear explanations of potential treatments without any pressure. It was evident that he genuinely cares about his patients' well-being.

Elite Dentistry is the best. I grew up with an unnatural fear of dentists but these guys squashed that for me. They are very kind and thorough. They explain every step to make sure I was comfortable with their recommendations. The pricing is fair. I feel good about sending my family here for their dental needs.

I had a great experience with Dr. Lari. The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was at ease throughout the visit. I dont usually get to see the dentist very often, but when I did, it was clear that he knew exactly what he was doing and was very confident and skilled. I truly appreciate the level of care and attention I received and would highly recommend dr.Lari to anyone looking for excellent dental care!

Elite dentistry is the best dentist Ive ever been to! The entire staff is so friendly and helpful. Theyve gone above and beyond for me several times, helping to make the perfect custom mouth guard and retainer. They will go the extra mile to make sure your experience is a great one. Even the terrible experience of having to get two cavities filled, wasnt as bad as I expected, they made me super comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend Elite Dentistry!

Dr Lari and his team were wonderful!
I'm a bit of a difficult patient with a long (painful) past of dental issues.
My teeth are sensitive and I'm always anticipating bad news.
The hygienist was patient, careful and accommodating with my cleaning. No pain :)
Dr Lari was personable and thurogh, with no "sales pitch" as he discussed some maintance/repair of some older work that will need to be addressed at some point in the future.
All in all, a very pleasant visit and I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment
I would happily refer friends and family to Elite Dentistry!

Such an amazing office...for a dentist. Everyone was above and beyond welcoming. Nothing makes going to the dentist better than listening to relaxing sounds with Landscapes of Turkey....lol.
Crazy to say but it's my favorite visit ever....and I got an extraction.

I liked how the doctor took time to listen to my complaint about my molar. He was thorough in his examination. The treatment he offered helped alleviate the problem. If you need a dentist who will take time to listen to you and treat you like a fellow being and not just a patient, go to Elite Dentistry in RSM, CA.
