She took the…read moretime to carefully examine my tooth, review X-rays, and explain what she was seeing without ever rushing me. Even though the issue turned out to be more complicated than it first appeared, I always felt she had my best interests in mind. What I appreciated most was her professionalism and willingness to consider every possibility before recommending treatment. She answered all of my questions, helped me understand what was going on, and made me feel comfortable during a stressful situation. If you're looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable, caring, and truly takes the time to evaluate your concerns, I highly recommend Dr. Irene and her team.

We were referred to Select Dental Group in Torrance by my wife's dentist for a dental implant with…read moreDr. Dean Salo. I have excellent insurance that fully covers implants, which I disclosed from the start. What should have been a straightforward process became months of frustration, delays, and what felt like intentional efforts to circumvent my insurance. At the consultation, they charged a fee, examined the issue, and provided a list of codes with estimated costs. When we insisted on using insurance and requested pre-approval, the staff (including Wendy) pushed back aggressively. They repeatedly claimed our insurance "doesn't cover implants" and tried various tactics to steer us toward self-pay. We had to call weekly because they kept delaying submission of the pre-approval paperwork. Only after nonstop persistence did they finally send it. Insurance approved the main procedure as expected. Then they added two new codes that were not on the original estimate. On their initial list, those two codes were priced at around $180 each. Once insurance did not cover them, the office demanded $1,100 for each of them. When my wife questioned the huge increase and referenced the original estimate, Wendy tried to make her feel bad about wanting to pay only what was originally quoted. Wendy explained that those prices were "before insurance got involved," and if insurance was going to "lower one procedure," they would simply increase the ones insurance didn't cover "to make up the loss." She also stated that the insurance was "low-balling us" and that they "have to make our money in full somehow." Dr. Salo reportedly needed to "review the estimate" to decide if it was even "worth it for him" to proceed given the insurance involvement. If you feel insurance is making you lose money, why be in-network with them at all? Why put patients in the middle of this hate relationship with their own insurance? This is unacceptable. Why participate in insurance networks if the practice is going to fight patients who use their benefits, add surprise charges after approval, and openly adjust prices to compensate for negotiated rates? The entire process involved constant obstacles, wasted months of time, ongoing pain, and significant stress. It felt like a bait-and-switch: using insurance acceptance to attract patients, only to create hurdles and maximize revenue regardless. I strongly recommend avoiding Select Dental Group and Dr. Dean Salo for implants or any major work if you have insurance. Look for a transparent practice that honors their network agreements and works with patients instead of against them. This was one of the most unethical dental experiences I've encountered. Unless you are paying out of pocket anyway and love paying the maximum there is for each procedure without questioning any statement or cost, then they will love you and pamper you and Wendy will be happy with you for being a good obedient patient. Apparently we were just too cheap for her liking -- as if money grows on trees and she herself would happily pay those inflated prices without blinking.

West Coast Dental of Torrance has really turned around in a good way from where it was 3 or so…read moreyears ago. The staff have always been friendly and courteous, but back around 2023-2024 it felt sometimes like this came at the cost of service and speed; there were several times that I would check in at my appointed time, but not be taken back until 30 minutes later, and then STILL not see the practitioner for another 45-60 minutes after that. However, over the last year those have all seemed to improve greatly. My last few appointments were either taken care of swiftly - or, in cases where they were overwhelmed or running too far behind, they were quick to discuss with me about alternatives and reschedule as needed rather than leave me waiting. My own appointment today involved an additional procedure on top of the routine cleaning, but the entire process (as well as X-Rays) were done in just under 2 hours. This place has been my go-to for dental checkups and work for well over a decade now, through both the good and the bad on both sides... and right now, I can say with confidence that it's sitting on the good side of service and efficiency.

I went to this Dentist years ago, and had to look elsewhere because the service was horrible…read more The dentist lacked professionalism and had a bad "bed side manner". After seeing the dentist they left me in a dental chair for over 2 1/2 hours with no checking in. I had to get back to work so I left without a word to anyone and never went back. Because it is close to my house and considering how long it has been, I decided to try it again. First impression, the girls in the office sit around and talk, very unprofessional. My appointment was at 2pm for a cleaning. It took them over 2 1/2 hours to confirm my insurance, so I was then told that it was too late to clean my teeth and I needed to reschedule. The dentist came in looked at the x-rays and spoke to the assistant, but never had a talk with me...rude. She recommended a tooth guard, which I didn't need and cancelled. On my second appointment I sit in the dental chair an hour before they come in. They tell me that I am there to talk to the dentist about a mouth guard and still no cleaning was done. They charged me a fee that I later found out was covered by my insurance. I carry two insurances to reduce out of pocket. When I explained to her that my insurance covered what they charged me for, she explained that she was only able to confirm one of my insurances since they have an old system and it can only handle one insurance per person. Funny, it took 2 hours to confirm one insurance. Never even mentioned to me that they only confirmed one insurance. Not to mention that they have a bad attitude and could use customer service training.

For context, I went through a pretty traumatic dental procedure years ago (elsewhere) which resulted in an overwhelming amount of anxiety any time I've had to visit a dentist office since. The staff at Dentist of Torrance has gone above and beyond to help my visits feel less daunting. I had a great first impression over the phone when I scheduled my initial visit. A few weeks later I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed, and I couldn't be more grateful for the amazing team here. From start to finish, everyone made me feel comfortable, informed, and well cared for. Ana and Jacky at the front desk were always so kind and welcoming--they answered all my calls, greeted me with a smile every time, and helped with all my intake paperwork. Yesenia made the financial side of everything clear and stress-free, which I really appreciated. Marcie took my initial X-rays and was very attentive, even acknowledging when I was in pain and making me feel heard. Horia, the dental hygienist, was incredibly gentle with the numbing injections and very thorough during my deep cleaning. Fabiana and Dr. Mark were also wonderful--they took the time to answer all of my post-op questions and made sure I felt confident during recovery. Overall, such a caring and professional team. Highly recommend!
