Exceptional dental Care Expert
Following Dr. Nazir’s dental education in India for four years, he undertook a 12 month , combined Orthodontic and Oral Surgery residency where his interest in cosmetics, teeth, arrangement for perfect cosmetic results and surgical management of trauma and the consequent treatment was immensely piqued. As he watched, his peers and mentors achieve fantastic results through their skill set, he was immensely motivated to educate himself further in the specialty of surgical management of oral issues.
One of California’s best-trained dentists
Dr. Nazir’s curiosity let him on the path to learn further and enhance his knowledge and skill set which brought him to the fabulously incredible Eastman dental Institute in London, where he honed his surgical skills under the tutelage of world class professors, who were at the forefront of surgical correction of maxillo-facial deformities and cosmetic management following all sorts of trauma. During the following 5 year intense period he earned himself a Masters degree in Oral Surgery, worked on thousands of wonderful British dentitions, and went on to start his fellowship at the Royal College in Ireland. Partway through this journey, life brought him to it to the United States of America and he fell in love with Newport Beach and its surroundings. Today he brings this unique and advanced skill set to Orange County and Newport Beach. As a result of this journey he set up three locations of the immensely successful SMD practices, now managed by him and his fantastic staff and amazing associates who are selected for their skills and empathy equally.

Words from Our Patients
We don’t just focus on the implants; we think about your bone health, your tissue health, and your overall well-being. That’s what makes our approach stand out.
Extremely professional and knowledgeable dentist. And office staff is very helpful and kind.
Dr Nazir is a superb dentist! He gives the same advice to all his patients as he would to his family. I come from the east coast for my dental treatment plan because I trust Dr Nazir. The staff is so courteous and helpful. They did everything in their power to accommodate my schedule. My sincere thanks to everyone at Smile Magic!
Honestly Dr Nazir is a God sent. He is the best dentist I have ever been treated by. I have very sensitive teeth that have to be worked on since I was very young. I have seen so many doctors. When I went to see Dr Nazir after a recommendation, I was thrilled to see a man that knows what he is doing. He is very intelligent, precise, a perfectionist ( it’s a good thing if you are a patient of one, believe me in this situation) and he really cares about people and how they have to live with his work. I’m very thankful for a fantastic dentist like dr Nazir.
Amazing doctor. Took Kate of all my concerns, answered all questions. Was a great experience. Really made sure I was okay in every way.
I have met some of the most rude people at the front desk at SmileMagic dentistry off Old Alabama Road. There is a Mexican lady who is unbelievably rude and borderline ill mannered. She is also biased. She don’t know how to talk properly to patients and always bossy !! The doctors are godd and kind but the front desk two ladies are the worst I have seen for a long time. They have real attitude issue !!
Stay away from this dentist, Dr. Raihan/Ray Nazir at Smile Magic; he is deserving of zero stars. His staff is pleasant. He can make all excuses in response to my review if he wants, but I believe being truthful will set you free. Luckily, I found my new holistic dentist that is honest snd treats patients well.Dr. Raihan Nazir is very unprofessional and unethical. He seems to lack dental practice experience, he is rough and very dishonest, plus he made two false claims on a separate date of service for my insurance did the procedures that he did never done on me. I seen him fix my teeth fixing one day and that was my first and last visit to his office. Here was my worst experience with him, and it’s unbelievable that this dentist treated me, his patient, like that. No wonder there was no patience when I was there the whole time from the afternoon till his office closed, and that there should have been a red flag.A) Unprofessional and unethical dental practice:1) Dr. Raihan Nazir never informed me that he was going to use me as a subject to train an intern student in his office. I did not pay him to train a student.; 2) Dr. Raihan Nazir is rough and doesn’t seem to care for his patients. He did not even bother to ask me whether my mouth was numbed or not before he injected the local anesthesia. I still felt pain, my mouth was not numbed enough after a liquid swap to help numb the area in just a short period; 3) During the procedure, Dr. Raihan Nazir rested his hand on my face and pressed his heavy elbow on top of my eye. I couldn’t tell him because my mouth was numb. I tried to always push his hand always tried from my face, but he kept ignoring me and continued it until he was done. It’s terribly discomforting to lay down on his dental chair for hours, to endure horrible treatment from this dentist; 4) He bruised my face, plus my jaw got swollen really badly the next day from that local anesthesia that he injected me with. It took me several weeks to recover from it. Is this considered unethical and dental malpractice?B) Dishonest advice on something I don’t have a problem with my teeth, and he billed my insurance on two dates of services that he'd never performed on me. 1) Dr. Raihan Nazir misled me to have a several of unnecessary treatments on my teeth that I don’t have a problem with. Luckily, I did not follow his advice and I went ahead to get 2nd and 3rd opinions with two different holistic dentists. Surprisingly, they couldn’t find anything wrong with my teeth, and all are in good condition. They also told me I shouldn’t have any bruises on my face with just have a local anesthesia unless the dentist hasn’t have enough experience ; 2) After my insurance found out that Dr. Raihan Nazir submitted those two false claims for thousands of dollars, so they did an audit on him and found out the fact that they were false claims, and my insurance asked Dr. Raihan Nazir to pay back a full amount of $$$. Finally, it took a few months to get the money back from Dr. Raihan Nazir.*Hoping this review will help people to be aware of this dentist and always get a 2nd or 3rd opinion from other specialists before submitting yourself to an unnecessary, expensive procedure that any provider recommends you to do. Always check insurance statements, to prevent some dishonest providers from cheating.
Excellent exam and diagnosis of required treatments. Friendly and professional
Dr. Nazir was compassionate and helpful. My son was in a tremendous amount of pain, and Dr. Nazir made time in his schedule to fit him in, and stayed late to make sure he got the treatment he needed.
Day after Thanksgiving - Dr. Nazir took care of a loose crown issue. Quick and easy. Thanks Smile Magic...
My infected, crowned tooth was extracted 3 days ago by Dr. Nazir. I needed to take pain medication just one day. Today I saw him again, as he wanted to see how well the healing is progressing. Everything looked good. I have confidence in Dr. Nazir's expertise and appreciate that he patiently answers all my questions. The staff are kind and helpful.
Dr. Ray extracted a infected tooth I had, this past Monday, and total time took 15 min. I was impressed! Plus his staff is very engaged, sharp and caring.
After seeing all these amazing reviews, I decided to come to this dentist for a consultation because Im just a concerned mom who was worried about my sons teeth grinding and jaw locking during sleep and his teeth was wearing down.When we came in Dr Nazir told us to come and have a seat, my son who had just woken up came in and sat down, he was nervous and scared; Dr nazir had him open his mouth and he asked me why I brought him in? I tried to explain to him but before I could finish he straight up told me that nothings wrong with him except the FACT that it's all my fault he has cavities, from me giving him too much candy, juice and milk. Like first of all, I hardly give my son those things. Anyone who knows me knows I’m strict when it comes to soda/candy/juices/milk; I hear what you’re saying about America and I completely agree, my son brushes his teeth 2x a day and flosses but he still managed to get a few cavities which he Zero cavities up until he started teeth grinding at the age of 4. Or what about his school or the other people he’s with? But that’s my fault to because I should know right?? I know I’m not the one with the degree and business but cavities can arise also from many other reasons or even other foods there’s lots of foods that may seem healthy like fruit and other foods but may have high sugar but he went straight to assuming candy juice soda. What I’m saying is it could’ve been anythingI came here for a consultation on my sons teeth grinding , like great I'm relieved there's nothing to worry grinding but Dr Nazir didn't know anything about me or my child, just judgement and assumptions and a lot of blaming without questions or hearing me out.He also brought to my attention that the silver crown and fillings were p* which yes he is completely right; I tried to express that to previous dentists all assured me that it was fine and which is the exact reason why I searched for a more holistic dentists who actually cared about what goes in peoples mouths, Because I didn't want me or my son to be lied to, I didn't want my son to go through more bad experiences with dentists, But then again “blame” it's my fault for entrusting the wrong dentists in the first place. I found his dentistry because I was looking for change and I was hoping to walk into kindness because everyone spoke so highly of him.The more Dr Nazir spoke, the more frighten my son became and started to cry, there was no kindness in his voice.Out of curiousity I asked the lady at the front how much it would be for a filling, she was nice but also told me that they don't take kids who scare easy and recommend me going to a holistic dentist that specializes in pediatrics who can sedate him, and I appreciate the honesty.I did update my review to 3 stars because the lady at the front was honest, and Dr nazi was honest too, he did not perform any unnecessary treatments or try to sucker me which I appreciate but I just really didn't appreciate the way he talked to me. I understand if he’s trying to educate me but maybe in a different way without blaming and shaming; I may not have had to pay for a 5 MINUTE consultation which is great, thank you for those 5 minutes but it's truly about quality service and being treated like a human being.Dr Nazir has plenty of happy and beloved clients, and I wish I could’ve got the same feeling, I truly care about connection and treating EVERYONE with kindness and dignity. But big thank you to the front office for giving me a recommendation elsewhere
Dr. Nazir and his team are excellent! Everyone was very helpful in making me feel comfortable and in answering any questions I had. Dr. Nazir is very knowledgeable and knew how to navigate my procedures with ease. I feel confident being in his care.
The best care and service! Each visit, i get the exact treatment i need with thorough explanation of what is being done and follow up needed. Excellent quality and compassion for every patient.
The best investment of my life ! At dr Nazar I found the root cause of years of health crisis after getting three root canals redone. Shortly after I originally got them they failed soon after with huge infections. My dentist at that time indicated something had happened to my immune system didn't know what. He gave me a referral. I decided to find a dentist near to me were they also redo root canals. There after my first visit recommended to redo the root canals. That they have top technology can redo again if they fail. I decided to get them done they say " save the teeth " that's their main goal. Costing me thousands of dollars. I'm a survivor from the Coronavirus pandemic. Eight months later i had a thyroid toxicity storm crisis seeking support at integrative Natural Health in Montclair Ca. I had lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks. I started IV treatments, taking recommended supplements, and food sensitivity tests. Soon after thyroid specialist finding a lymph nodule on right side of my neck. I had three root canals on that side. After this crisis my health continues to decline. Had experienced sweats, brain fog, vision loss, pre-diabetic and monitoring my blood pressure ect. Then titinus and mild pain on the ear on that side. I had pains going down head to toe on that side. Recently I gotten lymph node on right side neck by the ear very painful but not tooth area. My dentist takes a 3 D x-rays that two are failing. After in the last 4 weeks seeking recommendations. Two experienced dentist main one in Fontana and a hollistic dentist in Santa Monica that he referred me to redo root canals. One with a mild sinus infection and another with bone loss around the root. My health had been declining years after I originally got them. I put my health and trust in experienced dentists because I believed they do what's in our health best interest. That's the reason we go. I couldn't comprehend based on my health history why after two redone failed root canals some of the most skilled dentist continued to recommended redo root canals for 3 rd time? I had started researching, digging about it. The dentist that I seen for years referred to a hollistic. I'm thinking maybe they do a better job and last longer with less risks. I had taken my son to get one 6 months earlier looking for better outcomes. I felt my health and symptoms were ignored and confused. I decided to look up for a hollistic dentist free consultation finding Smile Magic dentistry life saving. Dr Nazar is skilled really good on explaining the truth and facts and risks about root canals. He recommended to extract the three out of four with symptoms and the one with no symptoms or infection. The one showing no infection was the worst they had mold, rusty, resistant bacteria infections. I felt comfortable and no pain until now. About root canals and risks of over filing, type of materials used, cracking, allergies ect. Per reports that bacteria silent or painful can travel to other parts of the body causing inflammation pain, and damage. It can survive without oxygen cause all kids of illness. When infections not showing on the x-rays trust the symptoms. I've read positive information and negative information. From some that treated root canals can last a decade or two. In my case it crippled my life. Health starts in the mouth, nutrition, lifestyle all play a role and immune system. The health history of every human being considered before making this recommendations it can be life threatening if neglected. My question who should get a root canal? And if they do when take it out? I believe my opinion the at the 1 st time they fail with my experience. I saw the condition of my tooth were dead. I've spent thousands of dollars to stay sick. If the x-rays don't show infection and the root canal is infected inside with bacteria will cause health issues and the traditional dentist can't remove or do nothing until showing signs of infection ignoring the symptoms.
My wife needed a tooth extraction from a infected root canal. She was referred to another place that wouldn't take her for weeks out and she was looking for a holistic approach to her dental work. They do everything that will truly fix the issues in the safest most complete way. The receptionist was very friendly and knowledgeable right from the start and booked her only a week out. The Dr was thorough, friendly and knowledgable. He takes a very detailed and holistic approach on how to remove the tooth and how to get everything ready for an implant. He takes his time and takes pride in his practice. Everyone was helpful and quick to get things schedule and done. From the receptionists, to his dental assistants and his partner Drs. His fellow Dr did my wife's tooth extraction and it was smooth. He was kind and cautious during the whole procedure. He even called her 2 days later to check on her and had a follow up to double check everything is healing. She is very happy with it thus far and are excited to take the next steps with the recovery process. We will be coming here from now on.
Dr Nazir performed a very complex procedure today and yes I was nervous!He was teaching another dentist some of his techniques and I was so impressed with their discussion. He was careful and caring and it totally relaxed me.The assistants are amazing and skilled and Cassandra runs a smooth front office performing a variety of important tasks.
I had a great experience here. My case is complex and Dr Nazir and Jenny spent time to go over what my options are in detail. He gave me information that I haven’t been able to get from other dentists. His knowledge and expertise shows when he speaks and sets him apart from the majority of dentists I’ve encountered. If you’re looking for someone who’s top notch I’d recommend coming here. Plus a friendly staff.
