Ann K.

"Normally, I am terrified of dentists. I've had more than my share of shotty work, unnecessary procedures, unfair billing, disgraceful bedside manners, etc. Those dentists are everywhere, making it very difficult to find a good one. We'll, look no further!! I have been seeing Dr. Amin at Lighthouse Dental for about 4 years, and I literally couldn't be happier.

Daniel M.

"I just recently switched to Lighthouse dental and I have to say that they’ve done more in two visits than my last dentist did in 5 years. What an amazing dentist and staff. I will be recommending them to everyone I know."

Andrea

"5 STAR EXPERIENCE. Dr. Amin is meticulous and DETAIL-ORIENTED. I’m very particular and with Dr. Amin, I fully trust him and I don’t even have to ask or pinpoint anything that bothers me because he already notices it before you say anything. All the staff are amazing and welcoming. They all make you feel so comfortable! I’ve already recommended them to my family! Thank you guys!!!"

Keith M.

"Dr. Amin is simply the best. Coming from a previous place of genuine fear of dentistry, he has single handedly (not to discredit the fantastic staff) made making a dentist appointment an easier task than choosing what to eat for breakfast. I highly recommend to everyone and anyone."

Sheree K.

"Best dentist with the best staff ever! Dr is very talented in his work- great technique, wonderful manner and procedures are so well done. Staff are always pleasant efficient and 100 on their game, By far best dental group I be ever gone to."

Ronald C.

"I am 65 years old and have been to a lot of dentists Dr Amin is by far the best dentist I have ever been to in my life! He is meticulous and precise. He is caring, careful, and very communicative. He uses the best and most modern equipment available. His office is extremely clean and his staff is awesome! You can tell that he loves what he does and is passionate about it. Don’t go anywhere else! You will see what I mean on your first visit !!!"

Dr. Ajay Amin

Dr. Amin grew up in southern California, and when he was younger, he spent a lot of time working in his parent’s hotel. As he helped his father fix things around the building, he realized how much he loved working with his hands to repair anything that was broken. During his first dental checkup as a child, Dr. Amin became fascinated with the dental industry, and the rest is history. For Dr. Amin, dental work is akin to construction work and repair, but on a micro-scale with a detailed, artistic aspect.

Before attending dental school, Dr. Amin graduated Magna Cum Laude from UC Irvine with a bachelor’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences. He went on to earn his dental degree from the University of California San Francisco School of Dentistry and he completed his dental residency at UNLV. Dr. Amin specializes in dental implantology and dental surgery, and he is also certified in IV sedation.

After dental school, Dr. Amin and his wife practiced in Seattle, Washington, before moving back to California to be closer to family. Dr. Amin feels honored that he was chosen by Dr. Woznuk to take over his practice and take care of his patients. When he’s not in the office, Dr. Amin loves to work on projects around the house, and he also enjoys watching basketball and spending time with his wife. Together, they cook and get outside to hike and enjoy nature.
