It is recommended that you visit a dentist for a checkup at least every 6 months, unless advised otherwise.
Dental sealants are made of a plastic material that is applied to the teeth to protect from tooth decay. Dental sealants fill in the back molars' deep grooves where food and bacteria can collect that can cause cavities. With dental sealants in place, plaque is sealed out. Dental sealants are not a guarantee against the formation of cavities, but they offer the best protection available.
Systemic fluorides are swallowed and are included in water, certain foods and supplements. Fluoride mouthwash should be avoided in children under 6 ye to prevent excess fluoride exposure that can lead to fluorosis. This is a condition caused by excess exposure to fluoride, and it discolors and disfigures the teeth of children.

1. I waited more than 40 minutes to see a dentist.
2. The doctor said I need 800$ perio protect which I don't need it, I googled this product online, the medicine cost 25$. Obviously they are upselling me the product I don't need. I feel being scammed by the dentist.
3. I see dentist regularly. I did my teeth cleaning just 4 months ago. The doctor said I need a deep cleaning. The doctor spent 8 minutes on deep cleaning for one side of the teeth. I have been to other dentists before. The regular cleaning usually take 30 minutes to finish, don't mention deep cleaning. The doctor cleaned my teeth

The front desk staff, x-ray tech and the tech that cleaned my teeth were all fantastic. The dentist, himself, was fine but was only with me for about 5 minutes, literally, and of course tried to sell me on braces. The rate at which dentists in Los Angeles push braces (for that Hollywood smile) is obscene considering most people don’t need them for anything aside from aesthetic. If one’s teeth need to moved to change wear patterns, improve jaw health, bite placement or the ability to keep teeth clean then, of course. But, more often than not it’s solely for financial gain and as difficult

For starters this dental location is great for many reasons, the dentist at this location is very receptive to his clients and made sure I was comfortable, and made sure I was not in pain while working on me. Secondly, it was a breath of fresh air to have a case coordinator in particular named Andrea who made the process so much more smooth. I highly appreciate the time she took to explain what the treatment plan was and what steps I needed to take and the most cost effective route and priority. I have never had ANYONE take the time to ever explain such to me, it was usually just what needs to

I was here a few months ago for a teeth cleaning. The dentist told me I needed to get trays with some type of medication because acid in my teeth from inconsistent flossing was eating away at bone and I might eventually lose teeth. He said it would cost $800? (not exactly sure because it was a while ago) but I couldn't afford it at the time. I'm with a new dentist now because of a change in insurance. He looked at the x-rays and said they were trying to get me to pay for something I didn't need. I had some bone loss, but nowhere close to where it was even worth worrying about. Just

I do not recommend the place. I called for my son appointment for dental cleaning. Upon arrival the front desk told me that they can't take us in since it is early for the cleaning. The front desk kinda rude in argumentive tone. She ask the manager which i can totally understand spanish. "Tell her that she will get billed!" Then relay the message in english.
I was waiting at the lobby and they are talking about the patient and i can hear them loud and clear at the lobby saying how demanding and rude the patient is.
They are implementing with the mask policy and they are not even

NEVER COMING BACK! I'm not one to write reviews but the service at this clinic was just awful I feel its my duty to warn anyone considering coming here. I came to this location due to my insurance being accepted here. I only wanted an examination for my wisdom teeth which need extraction and a regular cleaning because little do they know I had recently already had an extensive dental check up at another location, so I knew my teeth are in good condition. From the moment I arrived it was clear they did not care for my concerns and only wanted to receive money. I was was told by the finance staff

I got a good feeling when I saw the pictures online… the feeling was reinforced when I walked in and saw the positive attitude the staff displayed. They where short staffed & efficiently took care of business. I paid attention to the clientele in the waiting area. I had a good feeling even though I was in pain. I was called up and was happy with the consultation. I then booked a date to see the oral surgeon. I returned and had 3 extractions. I felt that I was in good hands. I felt the respect & chain of command within the team. I will follow up and get crowns in 4 months. I look forward to visiting

After charging my credit card $750 I was told that dentist was busy and unable to perform the procedure I had already paid for… At first I was told to wait 2-3 hours. Then, I was told I must reschedule. I work 6 days a week so “rescheduling” isn’t a simple option for me. I spent 2 hours in the doctors office and wasn’t even able to get a simple teeth cleaning. This was A complete waste of my time. The facilities are neat/ clean and staff is friendly however, clearly not very efficient. Will not be returning.

This place is honestly terrible please do yourself a favor and skip. I got my X-rays done for wisdom teeth removal and they said they would call me back for an appointment within a month. It's been 3 months so honestly if I can't trust them to have their schedules organized then I'm not trusting them to go into my mouth.

My overall experience was great from the time I booked my appointment and all my reschedules. lol Each receptionist I spoke with was very pleasant and accommodating! My Dental Hygienist, Miguel did a very thorough cleaning (I had to show off and drop my mask on the way out ). As for my dentist, Dr.Hankins,I always appreciate his passion for his patient's dental health and his rare infectious personality. I've never had a dentist so honest.

I wish I could give this dental office ZERO stars. My daughter's appointment was at 4 PM and I arrived at 3:45 PM. I waited for 1.5 hours out in the waiting room and then they stuck me in the back room to wait for an additional half hour. Never once did the endodontist show up. They also clearly could not read the referral slip my daughter's dentist gave her because they were confused regarding her x-rays and the tooth that needed work. This is despite the fact that the referral form lists which tooth needs work, what needs to be done, and there is an x-ray attached to the referral

This dentistry is located between a COVID testing center and a 7 Eleven.
As I was waiting over 1 hour and 30 minutes to be seen, a homeless guy walked by the window which was covered in graffiti.
If that isn't enough for you not to come here, please keep reading.
I walked in with no greeting and asked to fill out 7 different sheets of paperwork. There were no clean pens and no hand sanitizer left. Went to get an X-ray and the guy threw the X-ray vest on top of me with no hello, how are you doing, nothing. I waited for 1 hour and 30 minutes and heard that same guy pathetically trying to flirt

I don't know if I've ever had a totally positive, error-free experience here, and not just because it's dentistry. Twice I have come and sat for an hour+ and been told there's not time to see me, I recently came in for a bridge and the receptionist was confused that I had been booked for a cleaning, I spend twenty minutes getting x-rays and the next visit they can't find them....it keeps you on your toes. I don't feel like I can 100% trust anything that happens here, which is a bad feeling.

Very nice group of employees BUT they have literally taken me in late EVERY SINGLE TIME. And I have made an an appointment for each visit. This is always my complaint with them. Anywhere from 45 minutes to and hour and a half (yes, 90 minutes) after my scheduled appointment time. It's so frustrating to be at the dentist office for 2.5 to 3 hours for a schedule routine X-ray/cleaning. It's unprofessional to say the least. Like I said the staff is kind but the need better time management.

I was hesitant to try this office based on the reviews. On a positive note, my wait was short and I had completed new patient paperwork online so that seemed to help. Xrays went quickly and I was seen by the Dr. soon after. My teeth were in good shape except for an abrasion on the top of a tooth so there was nerve exposed. They said they could fix that and do my cleaning while I was there. That was all great. On the negative side, I found out from my insurance today that the procedure done was considered cosmetic. Had I known that was the case I would not have opted to get it! Because

This is by the worst dentist I’ve been too. I had the worst experience ever. I had three appointments all my appointments I had to wait an hour to be seen once I was since I had been sitting in the dentist chair for almost another hour. All the workers walk by you like they don’t see you. All the front seat workers are really rude and act like there stuck up. I gave them almost 3000 dollars to work on my teeth an they were never even fixed, so I had got a refund because , and still haven’t received any refund and it’s been 30 days and they still don’t know why it hasn’t gone through

The wait time was a fraction of that at western dental and the dentist was more experienced. I went in having been told I didn’t have any decay and it was just “stains”. The dentist let me know it was not and it needed to be taken care of. I was able to get a cleaning the same day and schedule for my fillings. The front staff were very kind and helpful. So great time management, expertise, and overall customer service. I have to say I left very satisfied with my experience and services. I’m glad I chose this place for my new dentist. Only down side is my appointment started 30 minutes later

I went mid March for a consultation about wisdom teeth removal. The assistant that did my x-rays was really friendly, and she apologized for me having to wait almost 2 hours due to some construction they were having. The lady who inspected my teeth after was pretty rough with the tools, which made me nervous for the actual surgery. They scheduled me for 1 month later in April when the oral surgeon is there. I go back on that date 1 month later, and they wait until I am in the chair to say they recommend a bone graft with the removal, which makes no sense for wisdom teeth since I'm not putting

I wish I could give less stars. I originally wasn't going to leave a review because I appreciated them taking me in to do an emergency root canal day of, granted it was to redo work on a root canal they had done the first time, but now I have to get ANOTHER root canal on the same tooth! And all my other teeth are doing great EXCEPT for that one, so clearly the work done was subpar.
EVERY appointment I had there, I waited on average 20-30 min on arrival, and even when I got in the seat I'd be waiting for at least another 45 minutes or so, watching the dentist bounce around the office

Me thinking they were getting everything ready for cleaning my teeth, waited over an hour.. It was 6:45 when the back office staff told me that i can just leave because the dentist was still talking with another patient. She said they would "call me" to talk more about my "diagnosis and prices". Never received a call afterwards. Can't believe i just waisted

I went in to let the front desk know that I've been waiting for an hour now and all they told me was that they understand and that I just needed to wait until they call me in. What kind of service is that? It's terrible. This also isn't the first time that I had to wait past my appointment time. I DO NOT recommend this dental clinic to anyone.

So this review is for the last two visits I made back to the dental office. June 12th was an appointment like I've never had before. Dr. Abraham and the DA were lightning fast when it came to cleaning off the tooth that was being prepped for a new crown, and the drilling didn't last that long. It felt like it took ten minutes and that blew my mind.
