Our team believes that your best smile is enhanced naturally. That's why we adhere to a biomimetic approach, which allows us to repair damaged teeth by using restorations that most closely mimic the natural appearance, function, and strength of your teeth.
Dentistry should support your health, not inhibit it. Our team uses metal-free and mercury-free restorations such as composite resin fillings and porcelain dental crowns to repair damage and keep your smile safe from toxic materials.
We encourage regular visits to monitor your oral health, provide tailored solutions, and keep your smile thriving from the inside out. Since your smile is totally unique, Dr. Anna spends 90 minutes getting to know you, your lifestyle, and specific oral health needs.
From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll know you’re not at your average dental practice. While many offices will try to speed through cleanings and exams, the truth of the matter is that just because something is done quickly, doesn’t mean it’s better, and this is especially true of dentistry. Dr. Anna and the rest of the Monarch Dental Arts team are committed to providing you with outstanding care, and we take all the time necessary to get to know you and your unique needs.

This review is for the new patient special— It took a lot for me to even make an appointment because of my dental anxiety and the fact that I knew I needed a lot done, but everyone at the office was wonderful at both explaining things thoroughly and putting me at ease. Dr. Paholiouk is incredibly knowledgeable and answered all of my questions, and I ask a lot of them! Literally the most comprehensive dental exam I’ve ever had. I don’t know any other office that does this. My treatment plan is conservative, health focused, and reasonably priced as well, and I know this from going to other dental offices in OC and getting absolutely insane quotes. If you’re thinking about making an appointment, it’s so worth it for peace of mind about your dental health 🌸
Monarch Dental Arts is top notch! I come here all the way from San Diego because they are the best Biomimetic dentistry in California! I have quite the dental story so read on: I came in looking for a better approach to dental health than what I’ve experienced in the past. I had a dental emergency 4 years ago where I lost my two front teeth and chipped the 3rd tooth next to them. I was having pain in one of the tooth’s that was lost (now a fake one), Dr.Anna gave me an extensive exam and treatment plan. She referred me to another specialist to handle the early infection that had started in my front tooth. That referral performed a root canal that was necessary and did an Excellent job. My pain in that tooth has subsided. Additionally, I had several cavities and old silver fillings. Since then I have had an onlay, 3 fillings( including a removal of silver fillings) and 2 cleanings. Every single visit has been productive and professional. I do want to mention that I have a serious fear of dentist from previous experiences. Dr.Anna is so gentle, calming and extremely good at her job. Although I still get nervous, I’m confident my oral health is their top priority. And I much prefer the way Biomimetic dentists perform work than traditional. It’s a better patient experience. Not only is Dr.Anna one of the best at her craft but her staff are some the nicest people. They care about their patients. From the front office to the dental assistants to the hygienist, my experience I have had here has been day and night compared to past experiences with other dental offices. The cost of these treatments are worth it. They are expensive. But so is a lot of other things in the medical world. I have invested quite a bit in my Oral heath and I don’t regret it. I have insurance that helps, but it doesn’t contribute much. I always say, You get what you pay for, and when it comes to my oral health I want to make sure I’m doing it the right way. Anyways, I highly recommend this place!
Dr. Anna is by far the most intelligent, professional, and exceptionally skilled dentist I have ever encountered. Her expertise is truly remarkable, and what sets her apart even more is her genuine care for her patients. She’s deeply committed to preserving natural teeth, and you can feel that passion in every step of her work. I came to her after months of discomfort from poorly done fillings, and she completely turned things around. The on-lay she placed on my teeth is absolutely perfect—flawless in both function and appearance. They look and feel so natural, it’s hard to believe they were ever a problem. I had been in pain for so long, and now, I finally feel relief. Her consultation was not only informative but incredibly comforting and insightful. Finding Monarch Dental Arts feels like striking gold. Eric and the entire staff are full of positive energy, warm, kind, and truly welcoming. The whole atmosphere is uplifting, and the stunning view from the treatment room just adds to the exceptional experience. I couldn’t be more impressed or grateful.
