“Dr Niknia was better than I anticipated. Even though he has a lot of excellent reviews, I sometimes wonder if they are legitimate. I can tell you that he is as good as his reviews say. I was very nervous to go, feared a bigger issue than my broken tooth and he very calmly walked me through my fear. I was treated with such kindness and genuine compassion, and even though my dental issue was serious, I feel so relieved to have had his guidance.
Dr Niknia and his team are the real deal, I seek authenticity and I got it.”

My experience of my dental consultation with Dr. Kaveh Niknia at Newport Harbor Dental could not have been better.
The reception staff were super friendly and organised.
After filling out paperwork I was shown to my chair and promptly seen by
Dr. Kaveh.
My consultation was very professional, informative and friendly.
I have booked another appointment with every confidence in the care I will receive and would not hesitate to recommend this practice.
