    After a little over two years, my dental journey has finally come to an end, and I couldn't be…read morehappier with the experience. It all began in May 2024 with a root canal, followed by Invisalign treatment, and finally my dental implant. Throughout every stage of the process, the entire team consistently provided exceptional care. What stood out most was the perfect balance of professionalism and genuine personal attention. From the moment I walked in for each appointment, I was always greeted warmly and treated with kindness, respect, and patience. They took the time to explain every procedure, answer all of my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. The good doctor even reached out to me personally via text after one of my procedures to check-in. I'm incredibly grateful to the entire staff for making what could have been a stressful journey such a positive experience. Their expertise, compassion, and teamwork truly set them apart. I also really appreciated their fair and reasonable pricing, which made such extensive treatment much more manageable. Thank you to everyone on the team for your outstanding care and dedication. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for skilled professionals who genuinely care about their patients. I am soo happy with my smile, 5 stars all the way.

Dr. Safa suggested that I try doing it without nitrous because he thought I would be completely fine without it. I decided to trust him, and he was right! I didn't need the nitrous at all, and the whole procedure was so much easier than I had built it up to be in my head. Dr. Safa was gentle, patient, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Ruth was also so kind and reassuring, which really helped calm my nerves. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience, especially for something I was so nervous about. I would definitely recommend Dr. Safa and Ruth, especially if you have dental anxiety. Thank you both for taking such great care of me!

From the moment I walked in, Dr. Gabbay and his team made me feel comfortable, listened to my concerns, and never made me feel rushed. Dr. Gabbay was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate throughout the entire procedure. He took the time to explain everything he was doing, answered all of my questions, and constantly made sure I was doing okay. His calm demeanor and genuine care immediately put me at ease. The procedure itself was smooth, comfortable, and far easier than I ever expected. What I thought would be one of my worst dental experiences turned out to be one of my best because of Dr. Gabbay's skill and professionalism. If you have any fear or anxiety about dental work, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gabbay. Finding a doctor who combines exceptional expertise with such compassion is rare, and I'm incredibly grateful I was referred to him. Thank you, Dr. Gabbay, for making what I feared most into such a positive experience. I would recommend you without hesitation to anyone needing a root canal or endodontic treatment. Five stars all the way!

    At the beginning of the month, I was in a terrible rollerblading accident. It was honestly one of…read morethe worst times of my life. The damage to my smile affected me tremendously, and I fell into a severe depression. I was desperate to get my teeth fixed and start feeling like myself again. I was referred to Root Vision Endo in Lakewood. It took some time for them to accept my insurance, but once they did, I scheduled an appointment. The office was clean, and although I was extremely nervous, I trusted that I was in the hands of professionals. The doctor examined and tested three of my teeth. Based on that evaluation, I was told that I needed three root canals. I trusted the diagnosis and agreed to move forward, paying $1,099 out of pocket because I was desperate to restore my smile. Afterward, I returned to my regular dentist and was devastated to learn that two of the teeth that received root canals could not be saved and would need to be removed. I cannot explain how upsetting that was. I had just endured three root canals, the pain and recovery that came with them, and a significant out-of-pocket expense--only to be told that two of those teeth still needed to be extracted. That $1,099 could have gone toward the bridge and restorative treatment I now need. Instead, my treatment has been prolonged, I endured additional procedures, and I am now facing even more dental expenses. I understand that dental outcomes are not always guaranteed and that different providers can have different professional opinions. However, based on my experience, I deeply regret not getting a second opinion before proceeding with three root canals. If you are dealing with a dental emergency or trauma and feeling desperate like I was, please advocate for yourself and consider getting a second opinion before agreeing to major treatment. When you're scared and just want your smile back, it's easy to put all your trust in the diagnosis you're given. Unfortunately, my experience left me extremely disappointed, financially impacted, and still without the restored smile I was trying so desperately to get back.

    Downey, family dental has been a great experience. After many years of being frightened and scared…read moreof visiting the dentist, I had excruciating pain that was occurring due to a broken tooth. I stopped by to get x-rays and have my teeth exam and I was getting ready to hear a lot of bad news. Knowing that I had not visited the dentist in about 8 to 10 years I knew that there would be work that would be needed to be completed.. The dentist was very helpful with letting me know the severity of it, but at the same time showed optimism and made me feel comfortable. Not only are we looking into the repairment of my tooth but also he explained to me the things that would be needed to be done in order to restore my teeth. I had plaque built up and my gums were very swollen with numbers high as fives and six which is not great and he explained to me that it would take a few appointments of deep cleaning and laser treatment in order to restore them. The appointments that I've had with them have been painless, and they have always made me feel comfortable while visiting them. This really helped me overcome my fear of visiting in the dentist and I actually do look forward to seeing them for my next appointment. Thank you Downey family dental, Dr. Nguy and the rest of the team for not only making it a seamless and positive experience, but truly helping me get my teeth restored!

This office is a gem among the numerous dental shops around the area - Dr. Bui truly cares about the patient and the quality of her work, which is rare these days. Assistants Rebecca and Ashley are great at their job - both at the front desk and when helping Dr. Bui. Wonderful people all around! Los Cerritos Dental has been our family dental office for over 2 years now - my wife and our 10 year old daughter are loving the service as well! I'd give Dr. Bui 6 stars, 5 is not enough!

    Dr. Bui at Los Cerritos Dental is truly a hidden gem. We've been going to her for over eight years,…read moreand the level of care has never wavered. She does the cleanings herself and is incredibly gentle and precise. When my wife had a chipped tooth, Dr. Bui repaired it so flawlessly you couldn't even tell it had been damaged. Her attention to detail is unmatched. The office is refreshingly transparent with billing. They clearly explain what's covered and what's not, so there are no surprise charges. Her assistants, Ashley and Rebecca, are amazing--always helpful, kind, and professional. Rebecca is especially knowledgeable about billing and insurance, and they accept all types of insurance, which makes things much easier. One thing we really appreciate is that the office is never overbooked. Appointments run on time, and you never feel rushed or like you're being squeezed in. That calm, organized flow makes every visit feel respectful and relaxed. Dr. Bui is a hardworking, honest general dentist who never pushes unnecessary procedures. That integrity is a big reason why our family's dental health is in such great shape. In a time when it's rare to find a dentist who isn't driven by upselling, Dr. Bui stands out for her genuine care and professionalism. She's also amazing with kids. When our daughter needed six fillings years ago, Dr. Bui made the experience painless and reassuring. She used laughing gas, which she's certified in, and avoided general anesthesia--something other dentists were recommending. We appreciated that thoughtful approach and have trusted her ever since. Scheduling is easy, and the office runs smoothly. Whether it's a routine cleaning or a more involved procedure, we always feel well cared for. And here's a fun detail: Dr. Bui has the perfect height for a dentist--she works comfortably without needing to slouch, which you don't always get with taller dentists. It's just one more reason her work is so precise and consistent. We're grateful to have found her--and we recommend her wholeheartedly. Sunny and family!

My husband had a root canal performed by Dr. Stephen Ferraro, and the experience was incredible. He was so comfortable during the procedure that he actually fell asleep! If you've ever been nervous about getting a root canal, this should tell you everything you need to know about Dr. Ferraro's skill and gentle approach. The reason I'm writing this review today, though, is because we received a check in the mail for an overpayment we had made. They could have easily kept the money, and we never would have known the difference. Instead, Dr. Ferraro and his staff took the time to identify the overpayment and proactively mail us a refund. In a world where honesty and integrity can be hard to find, that level of ethics speaks volumes. Not only did we receive exceptional dental care, but we were also treated with kindness, professionalism, and complete honesty from everyone in the office. Thank you, Dr. Ferraro and your wonderful staff, for going above and beyond. We truly appreciate your outstanding care and your integrity. We highly recommend your practice to anyone looking for an endodontist they can trust.
