Cal Dental Group was founded on the concept of providing convenient and affordable dental care for the entire family. Our modern dental clinic utilizes state-of-the-art technology to achieve the smile of your dreams in a painless, friendly, and welcoming environment. I have been a patient of Dr. Olga for the past year and a half.

Staff are very welcoming and professional, Dr. Olga alway takes her time in explaining everything to me including all my options. Everyone wants to have a perfect smile, but traditional braces may not be the ideal choice for you. At Cal Dental Group, we're committed to helping you achieve your perfect smile by using treatments that work best for you.
Services
We are a competent team of dentists and specialists who completely understand your busy life. You should never sacrifice the importance of quality dental care. That's why here at Cal Dental Group all specialists are under one roof, ready to serve your dental needs and desires. Our practice is based on the highest dentistry standards and new technologies which reflect on beautiful and healthy smiles of our clients.
Cal Dental Group is a full-service dental practice offering the finest in general, cosmetic, and specialty dental healthcare services. General dentistry encompasses a broad range of diseases and disorders of the oral and maxillofacial region. Your smile is the first impression that others have of you, so it makes sense that you would want it to be bright, white and healthy.
Your oral health is as important as any other health aspect, and you should take it with ultimate seriousness. It would be best if you were willing to go out of your way to ensure that you are in good shape regardless of how healthy you feel. Dental issues and oral diseases have become a significant problem globally, simply because a lot of individuals tend to overlook the importance of dental care and hygiene.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that provides a permanent base for fixed, replacement teeth. Compared to crowns, dentures, and bridges, the dental implant is an effective long-term solution for people who suffer from missing teeth, failing teeth, or chronic dental problems. Convenient and quick restoration of natural looking teeth used to be impossible, now it's common with advanced dental implants.
At Cal Dental Group, our cosmetic dentists specialize in restoring beautiful smiles with affordable, professional cosmetic dentistry services in Los Angeles. Whether you're meeting someone for the first time or for the one hundredth, their smile is one of the first things you'll notice. All you need to know about that person's mood and expression will be in their smile.

Best dentist in LA.

Clean, professional, and caring. The front desk is attentive and friendly. There are typically 2 staff members at the front desk, so you are quickly welcomed and seated for your appointment. Alec frequently checks in on the patients in the lobby while offering a bottle of water.

The facility is very clean and well kept. My initial cleaning was a very pleasant experience. Some of the nicest staff I've ever come across.

I ended up needing some additional work. Alec put an enormous amount of effort to clearly weigh out my options to proceed. He showed me what my insurance

AVOID THIS OFFICE. DISHONEST TACTICS this office is made up of swindlers $$$ BEWARE OF EXTRA OUT OF POCKET CHARGES $$$ This dental office used to be owned by Dr. Kim, a beloved Ktown honest dentist. He sold the practice and retired and now it's owned by Dr. Olga. The office manager is a man named Alec, he is a professional sweet-talking con-man. He plays friendly and he will switch on you and berate you if you question the extra "treatment" that they throw in on top of whatever it is you came to get done. (Alec called me "a disgusting human" when I questioned the extra charges while standing in

I have been coming to Cal Dental since I've moved to Koreatown and I am extremely happy with their services. They are great with appointment reminders and their staff is very attentive and helpful. Vanessa helped me get an immediate appointment and was very helpful and responsive to all my questions. Sunny is also a great hygienist and is very friendly. I truly appreciate the hospitality at this office and the cleanliness as well.

I'm actually sad to be giving this review - I really disliked my previous dental practice, so I had high hopes for Cal Dental. My first visit was great- everyone was so friendly and accommodating. I paid in full for a pretty significant treatment on that was going to take a few months to complete.

My second visit was not so great. While the dentist was removing my old crown, his hand slipped, (or rather he told me that my tongue moved) and he cut my deeply under the tongue to the point where the dental work had to be stopped so he could give me stitches. He never said sorry, and he never

Dr. Angela and her assistant were super helpful and attentive! I would definitely recommend coming here and asking for them. Super nice and professional and are always willing to address any questions or concerns I might have. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience from someone like me who hates coming to the dentist lol thank you!

Went in for my cleaning. Had a positive experience from the reception to doctor to technician. Everyone was helpful and caring. I had several questions throughout which they helped thoroughly answer.
Planning to go back for my next appointment.

Don't waste your time and money here. The doctor will upsell you for procedures you don't even need. I'm well aware of what my insurance covers and somehow they expected me to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket while having PPO insurance which they "cover"

I came in for tooth sensitivity. Dr Karnakova then proceeded to try to upsell me and get me to get Veneers which had nothing to do with what I went in for. After a long consultation the payment plan they had prepared for me for all the work I allegedly needed totaled over $6,000. When I declined and left the office

Let me start by saying that I have had a fear of dentists for the last 5 years and just didn't go for previous bad experiences. This time around my family urged me to go to the dentist and have a look and recommended me to Cal Dental Group.

On my first visit, I sat there in the waiting room so nervous until the staff greeted me and offered me some water. They chatted with me to keep me calm and steadily checked on me. When I spoke with the dentist, he was very cool and explained every step of my procedure very calmly (I was asking lots of questions, because I do have ins and pay out of pocket

I've been coming to Cal Dental Group for many years now. I was very sad when I found out Dr. Kim had retired but I have been very impressed and happy with Dr. Karnakova these past couple of years. She is very thorough, diligent, and happy to answer all my questions.

The entire staff is very welcoming and happy to help as well. I always appreciate that they provide estimates and work with you to find a plan that will work with your needs.

Definitely recommend if you're looking for a new dentist!

A great Dentistry office with great staff. After moving to the area a couple months ago I was in pain from my wisdom teeth. I received an overpriced quote from a different office and was then referred by a friend to go to Cal Dental Group for all of my dentist/oral surgeon needs. They were able to get me in within the week and offered a much more reasonable pricing for wisdom teeth removal and scheduled an appointment.

All of the staff has great bedside manner, and will work with you if you're on a budget. I greatly appreciate this office for helping me in a time of need and am glad a friend

Went downhill since Dr. Kim retired. Disappointing service and a misdiagnosis. Don't forget to ask for a second opinion, Dr. Olga is interested in the bottom line rather than the health of patients.

I woke up with extreme wisdom teetth pain and made an appointment via ZocDoc

I met with Olga and Alec for consultation and they were kind, empathetic and also understood my financial circumstances due to the ongoing pandemic and being uninsured. The staff was all so friendly. I had 4 impacted wisdom and I was prescribed antibiotic and painkillers. They scheduled my surgery and Alec really worked with me to make sure I can fit this into my budget so I can get the care I needed. Amazing service.

I, like many other reviewers, was originally a patient of Dr. Kim's. When the new dentist took over, she began running this place like a business, not a dentists office. I originally came in for a cleaning but after they took my X-rays Dr. Olga came in and told me I had periodontal disease and needed to schedule another appt to get a deep cleaning which would cost like $500, in addition to trying to sell me a $475 night guard that I repeatedly told them I was not interested in.

After the appointment, I reached out to my dentist from my home state and he seriously doubted that I had periodontal

I went with pain in one tooth, and they told me I needed 2 root canals and 2 cavities to be filled. Everyone was incredibly nice and did their best to explain everything to me. I really trusted them. I got the root canals done and paid the same day, but shortly after I received a letter from my insurance letting me know I'd been overcharged. I asked Cal Dental Group for a refund and cited the insurance statements as proof, and had to call once and email them 3 times, with a threat to take it to the insurance the last time before they responded to me.

This seemed sketchy to me, so I went to

I wish I could give this place ZERO stars. They had me booked for an appointment for teeth cleaning, then cancelled my appointment while I was in the dentist chair because they said they didnt have 50 mins after all to clean my teeth....

When I arrived, they made me pre-pay (which is okay, but a bit vulgar for a dental office). Since I had referred my mother here, I asked and received a 50$ discount on this teeth cleaning. I was supposed to have at 2:30pm appointment (my appointment time, by the way, changed 3 times since I booked it, without asking me....I received all the notifications). I then
