Dr. Jackson and her team are friendly and professional -- and they know their stuff.

Dr. Jackson is also connected with related professionals (orthodontists, periodontists, etc.), and can offer suggestions of other providers for additional services you may need.

UPDATE: I have an appointment scheduled and can not wait to share my experience. Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating of schedules. They even have some Saturday hours if needed for the busy weekday folks. ORIGINAL: Unfortunately, I have, yet, to be able to fairly rate this office. I was super excited to find a new dentist so close and well rated but they took multiple months to schedule my appointment then cancelled due to COVID. They are now back open and said they would prioritize cancellations first but have had no word from them for over a month. Still excited and I will definitely update my review after my visit!

Feeling bait & switched here - I'd been seeing Dr Paul Banks here for years.

When the exam was done, I asked the Office Manager about Dr Banks and all she said was he is no longer with the practice. So let me get this straight - I've had the appointment booked for months, they confirmed with me multiple times, they couldn't have emailed or texted or called me to tell me the news? The office manager said they didn't send out any notice. Dr Hira was fine but I've lost faith in this office.

The amount of times they cancel on me the day of or ask me to come in earlier is SO FRUSTRATING!! They clearly do not care about their patients. I canceled my appointment for when I was off in November and now they want to charge me. How does it feel? Maybe you could understand what it feels to be one of your patients. The office staff is lazy and they never even called my insurance company to see how much it would cost for invisalign. I asked MANY times! They now expect me to pay a bill for when I canceled. I left a voicemail and they never even called me back! What an unprofessional business. These office employees are making Dr. Banks look bad. I really enjoyed going here but things have gone down hill with this place. Do not waste your time and look for another place!

They always made us feel welcome. We never had a problem with any of our appointments. It was always nice to talk to them. They were always willing to answer any questions. Dr Latempa and his hygienists were very thorough. I didn't have any complaints. I always had a good feeling after my dental visit. That is why we never missed any of our appointments. I highly recommend this clinic. They deserve 10 stars. The only reason we had to find a new dentist is because we moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles, CA in late 2016. It is 2019 now. 3 years have past..2016-2019, we are on our 4th dentist. Unfortunately, it is tough to find a dental clinic as good as Dr Latempa's clinic. Hopefully, the current dentist we have now is the one who could match Dr Latempa. I have been wanting to write this review as my way of thanking him, Jennifer and Victoria. Thank you. And happy thanksgiving!

I had been going to this dentistry for the entirety of my teenage and adult years, moved out of state two years ago but hadn't decided on a new dentist yet so when visiting family almost a year ago, early spring time 2025 I booked back to back days, one for cleaning + X-rays the next for any cavities that may need to be handled. I came in first day for cleaning got that all done. Found cavities okay cool come in the next day to get them filled. Nope they tell me that day was booked for me for a second cleaning or something? Tell me to come back in a week or two which is obviously not easily possible as I live a 5 hour plane flight away now. I book a trip for a few months later in June and booked for all 3 cavities to be done with them. I come in and this time I'm seen by the woman doctor, can't remember her name. Too annoyed to look it up now. She tells me she doesn't have time for all three which is kinda insane because I booked for this you know months ago. She tells me she'll do 2 and I can come back in a few days for the other one. I tell her no girlboss I'm getting on a plane tomorrow morning and you guys were supposed to do this months ago. She begins the cavities, drills down, literally leaves the room for 30-45+ mins and I'm just there with my mouth open for a long time. She seems extremely distracted and rushed. She "finishes" the cavities and I'm sent out. Essentially because she was rushing so much she did not properly scoop out the entire cavity and covered it so it continued to rot and infect downwards to my nerves. My mouth hurts so much. It doesn't stop hurting. I call two weeks later asking why one specific tooth hurts so bad and they just tell me my gums are irritated and I'll be fine. I've broken bones, had surgeries, dealt with pain before but this was different. This was debilitating to the point of not being able to move or speak. Soon after I go on vacation to some islands. Snorkeling, going on planes frequently, my tooth is in insane pain I can't even open my mouth to breathe the air hurts my tooth. Imagine spending thousands for a nice vacation and not even being able to eat ice cream and waking up every single day in terrible pain. I return home and immediately see a dentist in the town I now live in and they do X-rays, tell me I need a root canal. This is in August 2025 at this point. I get it done, flash forward to late February 2026 and I still cannot eat on the right side of my mouth. The tooth will not calm down and I'm told there's likely small fractures in the tooth that can't be picked up on X-ray and I have to go to a specialist and probably need it removed and an implant now. So if you truly care about your health and want your teeth to stay in your skull and not wastes thousands of dollars, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I had a whole childhood of traumatic dentist experiences that caused some serious adult rebellion…read moreof me sticking it to the man by just not going to the dentist for a decade in my 20s. I eventually paid the piper for that one, and since that time, I've realized that the key to me not avoiding the dentist and taking care of my teeth the way I know I should is finding a person that intuitively adheres to trauma-informed principles of care: respects/believes patients, explains what they're going to do and when, communicates safety clearly, etc. I had a great dentist in NYC and then COVID happened and then we moved to NJ and yeah, I've been delaying finding a new dentist for, um, mumblesfouryearscough. I knew it was time to establish care here and I knew a whole boatload of 5 star Yelp reviews wouldn't lie. First off, my intake paperwork asked me what I was looking for / what was most important to me in a dentist. Then it asked if there was any accommodation I might need to feel more comfortable. Then it asked my anxiety level on a scale of 1-10. No one has ever asked me this before. On the day of my visit, having given this much thought, I decided to let my freak flag fly and asked my hygienist if I could just keep the xray apron on for my whole cleaning. If she batted an eyelash, I didn't notice, and me and my weighted blanket snuggled in for an excellent polish. Well, it turns out I had a cavity. Made an appointment to go back to have it filled. Considered asking for an Rx for a single valium, but decided against it. I was brought into a room that seemed to date to a revolutionary war time period visually, but with modern technology. THE CHAIR MASSAGED ME. Dr. Kim explained what he was going to do, showing me my xray once more, numbed me up, removed my old filling and fixed up my cavity in like, 6 minutes. I don't know if it was the ambiance of the room, the chair massage, Dr. Kim's evident competence, or the acoustic Bruno Mars song playing, but I did not feel I had been locked out of heaven. To the contrary, this was an excellent experience. If you are afraid of the dentist, this is the place for you.
