Services
Your smile matters to us, so call now to setup your initial oral health consultation at our office. After the initial consultation Dr. Furkioti will develop a restoration plan for your teeth based on a CT digital scan and a professional dental examination. Should you decide to proceed with dental care at our office, we will form a plan for treatment.
Veneers are an ideal cosmetic solution for everyone who desires a beautiful smile with minimal invasions into their teeth. Porcelain veneers offer a painless way to a permanently whiten and perfectly align your smile. Dr. Furkioti can apply these contact lens-thin "smile shapers" to teeth many times without any grinding or shaving, transforming teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual.
Dental implants represent a common procedure of permanently replacing missing teeth without affecting neighboring teeth. With the help of dental implants, we can fully remedy toothlessness and thus strongly improve chewing and speaking abilities as well as restore a beautiful smile. Implants can also serve as carriers of a fixed dental bridge or denture.

Could not be happier with Dr. Deano and his father Dr. Dean. Their work is excellent...the best dentists I have been to in the South Bay. Both are so kind and do the most fabulous work. They have state of the art equipment, and the staff is like family, could not be friendlier or kinder. Love everyone there.

I was a patient of Dr. Furkioti about a year ago. I came to extract 2 of my teeth. He noticed a perfectly normal tooth with filling in it and suggested to place a crown on it to "preserve" it.
I am use to trust doctors who I believe have my best interests at heart. Was I wrong.
All he wanted to do is to apply his knew computer technology to do that crown, and of course, make some money. As he practiced this "new way" he filed the tooth to such an extend that he open the nerve. Charged me $1,500 for the "job".
The tooth started hurting bad. I found another doctor who

I have been a client of Dr. Furkioti's for 20 years. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I can become quite nervous when I have to have dental work done and he always puts me at ease. My dental hygienist, Mandy, is very accommodating, and makes my cleanings a painless experience. I also appreciate the front desk staff - they have a personal touch that makes me feel welcome. I have recently started taking my five-year-old for her check-ups and they do a wonderful job with small kids as well.

Dr Furkioti is progressive, professional and personable. I got a crown from start to finish in 1.5 hrs! It is a perfect color match and fits my nightguard to perfection. I've got at least 10 crowns and an implant. I also lost almost half of a tooth a few years ago and he was able to save the tooth with a filling instead of a crown it only took 45 minutes and it is few years old! It feels good and looks good.
I previously had a prostodonist as my dentist where it took a least 2 visits to 4 visits to get a crown. Not to mention the temps that constantly fell out. The color matches were soso

Dr. Furkioti is the best dentist and the ONLY Dentist I've ever NOT dreaded having to go see every 6 months! He knows what he is doing and he, as well as his entire staff truly care if whatever procedure they… are doing on your teeth is painful for you or even slightly uncomfortable for you and are Very accomodating to their patients. I have been going to this Dentist since I was 15-yrs-old. I'm 37 now, but have been going to the Dentist since I knocked out 4 of my front baby teeth when I was 3 years old, when I was in Torrance Park with my dad and fell face first on the P.V. rock lined

Dr Dean has been my dentist and friend for years. There are many fine dentists serving Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach and Torrance folks and Dean takes no second place to any. Careful and caring, meticulous and conscientious with the latest techy stuff and for us big whiners- no pain :). And he's snack in the middle of the Riviera Village

As a survivor of Head & Neck cancer, proactive oral care by a DDS who is familiar with the degenerative damage chemo & radiation can do is essential. Dr. Furkioti has been a lifesaver for me. Not only is he experienced and competent, but both he and his staff are immensely compassionate to the limitation of my condition & have always gone out of their way to accommodate my needs even when they are emergent. I emphatically recommend Dr. Furkioti!!!

My husband and I want to highly recommend Dr. Dean Furkioti.
Very long story but not so different than the other reviews.
He is professional and kind and caters to my personal dentist phobia which helps me get through the appointment with ease and comfort.
The office staff is very professional and kind and you feel - very at ease - which for me can be a big issue.

This is the best dental office. Super clean & cutting edge technology. Everyone from Lynda at the front desk to all the hygienist are top notch. In fact, I've moved out of the area and will still drive over an hour to come here.
The dr. Has repaired a bunch of my teeth from cracked teeth, root canals, removing & resizing a crown.
Couldn't ask for a better experience with a dental office

Dean Furkioti is simply the best dentist in the South Bay. My family have been patients of his since he took over the practice from his uncle approximately 20 years ago. Professional, caring and always knowledgeable when it comes to the latest technology in the field of dentistry there is none better. The environment in his office is welcoming & friendly, and, more importantly, his employees are as capable & reliable as Dean.
I'd give him 10 stars if it were possible (and I am not the kind of individual who gives compliments freely).

After years of some dentistry that might have not been up to par, Dr. Furkioti has a job keeping my teeth together. And he is up to it. He and the office are up to date, professional, friendly (genuine), attentive... Dr. Furkioti is an artist, I'm fascinated watching him design a crown for a tooth that was filled around the side many years ago, explaining why he is shaping to both fit and function. His work always fits with the color of my teeth ("latte"), unlike some previous work. The crown was made in his office so one round of local anesthetic for the work and one visit and

I love Dr. Furkioti and his staff! He is a gentle and painless dentist. My family and I have been going to him for years, and he always makes you feel calm and comfortable. The staff is super friendly, and make you feel at ease too. He has a machine that makes crowns, so you don't have to wear a temporary. He does it all in one appt. Clean office...highly recommend!

I was a patient of Dr. Furkioti for 4 years, and sadly my insurance has changed and I have to find a new dentist. Even though my new insurance isn't one they use, they offered a free consultation in the even that I feel like another dentist is trying to take advantage, and even offered to help me find another one! Now there's a healthcare business who actually cares about their patients!! : :)
In my time at this office, I grew to trust Dr. Furkioti so much that I even agreed to be his first trial with lumineers--and he did a fantastic job! The ladies who work at this office are
