I have been coming here since I moved to CA in 1996. In all that time I've been coming regularly…read moreand always have had wonderful experience here. Aside from regular cleanings I've done invisalign. I've come to know the staff and they me in all these years. I've had many compliments on my smile and it's important to me. I've been so grateful for everyone here - Dr. T, Stephanie, Michelle at the front desk who knows everyone by name, and each staff member - thank you!!!!

When you first walk into Dr. Trudeau's office, you'd be forgiven for thinking you've stumbled into…read morea high-end spa. You're greeted with a personal tour, calming vibes, and a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Trudeau himself. It all feels very bespoke and premium--because it is. And you'll be paying for it. The hygienists and techs are genuinely wonderful--skilled, gentle, and clearly take pride in their work. But behind the warm welcome and polished experience is a persistent push for additional dental services, whether you need them or not. In my case, I was strongly encouraged to get a deep gum cleaning--a procedure I've since been told by multiple dentists was unnecessary. I get the impression this is a standard "recommendation" for most new patients. Pricing is higher than other practices I've visited, and the billing system feels stuck in the past. There's no online payment option, and if you move without updating your address, they won't hesitate to send you to collections. Miss an appointment they scheduled for you? That'll be a $100 no-show fee. Overall, if you're looking for a very polished, high-touch dental experience and don't mind paying extra--or getting more work than you likely need--this might be the place for you. Just make sure your calendar and address are perfectly up to date.

My first time at this office. It was modern, clean and staff were professional yet friendly. I saw…read morea new dentist there, Dr . Aalam. He was thorough in the exam and didn't oversell. I have a small mouth. Because of that the xrays cut my lower mouth under the tongue as usual .but Dr. put on a topical ointment that stopped the pain. I never had that treatment before and will always ask for that after ex rays. Hard to find consistency with medical and dental care so I hope Dr. Aalam is still there when I need yearly exams.

I was recommended to come here by a friend after having bad dentist experiences in my past. I was…read moreso nervous but the anxiety faded away as everyone was SO nice and professional here. Shoutout Anita and Tia the front desk ladies who were so kind, Zeena who did all my X-rays, teeth cleaning, and evaluations (she truly made my experience she was so sweet and made me feel so safe), and Dr. Sidhu who was the kindest dentist I've ever had. Zeena and Dr. Sidhu explained my problems in a way I could understand and made me feel like progress was achievable. They were so supportive and I left feeling happier than when I came in, and motivated to really take care of my teeth. So excited to have found this gem of a dentist team.

I am so incredibly grateful for this dental practice. They have the biggest hearts and have shown…read moreour family a level of kindness and generosity that we will never forget. They also completely transformed my smile with Invisalign, restoration work on my bottom teeth, and whitening. My teeth are beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The entire experience feels more like going to a spa than the dentist. Every comfort is thought of, the work is exceptional, and you feel genuinely cared for from the moment you walk in. Extraordinary skill and extraordinary kindness--I cannot recommend them highly enough!

As someone who's usually terrified and distrustful of dentists, I visited multiple offices this…read moreyear searching for the right fit. Let me just say, Inspire Smiles is the one. From my very first phone call with Teresa, I felt like they really got me. She took the time to ease my worries, reassured me that my dental anxiety wasn't an overreaction, and even offered a complimentary exam and cleaning so I could get a feel for the clinic. After being financially exhausted from prior second opinions/out-of-pocket x-rays for a cracked molar, that gesture meant more than I can say. In addition, Dr. Gaball is hands down the most personable doctor I've ever met. She actually called to introduce herself from her personal phone the day before my appointment, which is something I've never experienced with any dentist or medical provider. She takes the time to build trust, and that makes all the difference. The office itself feels more like a spa than a dental clinic (they even offer aromatherapy), which is huge if outdated waiting rooms trigger you the way they do me. RIP waiting rooms from the 90s. Thank you to to the whole staff, Dr. Gaball, Teresa, Madison, Renee, and Leslie for always being so patient and kind. I'm so grateful for the option of sedation (more clinics should have this) and for calmly handling me while I acted like a baby and cried as I watched How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days on the ceiling TV. If you're looking for a new dentist, check them out! I truly couldn't recommend them more, and am looking forward to my Invisalign journey with their team.

She told me I needed a crown, which I did not. She hit my tooth-nerve, the tech put it in the notes…read moreso I found out later but she did not tell me when it happened. I went through tremendous pain and the crown that caused the root canal I didn't need recently failed. Years of pain and disaster. She also influences yelp to take down local reviews that say anything negative.

The only reason that this practice gets a star is because my dental tech (Sam, I think her name…read moremight've been?). She was so friendly and made me feel so welcome - I really appreciated that. The 1 star is for her, and her alone. I had really high hopes for this practice - and it looks like many people end up happy with their care. Personally, I did not. I didn't walk out of my first appointment with much of a desire to return. My primary issues with this practice are: (1) They brushed over one of my main concerns; (2) For a holistic dentist practice, their preliminary recommendations weren't very conservative; and (3) Their receptionists are disorganized and unprofessional. (1) One of my primary concerns was sensitivity that was very clearly coming from the surface of one particular molar. Dr. Ismael said she saw nothing wrong with the molar and that the discomfort was simply referred pain from my closest wisdom tooth. Which would make sense... except for the fact that my wisdom tooth has never caused me any discomfort in my life. Flash forward - two separate dentists confirmed afterwards that my molar was in fact the problem, and one was even able to mitigate the issue with a quick application of a topical product, which further confirms that it wasn't referred pain at all. The dismissal of my concerns left me unimpressed, and made me question the integrity of her other recommendations. (2) I emphasized that I wanted to be as conservative as possible and not extract any unnecessary teeth. That partially informed my decision to see a holistic dentist to begin with. I figured that a practice focused on non-toxic products and holistic healing would also take a conservative approach with dental care and not remove teeth unless absolutely necessary. I also mentioned that I might be interested in orthodontia down the line. I think this was a mistake, because the second I said that, I was told five teeth would absolutely need to come out - four wisdom teeth and a molar. On a second opinion, I was told that two wisdom teeth needed to come out, but that while removing all four was typically recommended, it was not necessary. On a third opinion, I was told the exact same. I recognize that there are differences of professional opinion, and I'm sure Dr. Ismael wasn't pulling her recommendations out of thin air here (and to be completely fair/transparent, she did say an oral surgeon might think differently), but I do think her preliminary insights were cookie-cutter and neglected to take into consideration my own preferences and concerns. I'm grateful that I sought multiple perspectives and am not afraid to advocate for myself, and I encourage you to as well. (3) While I was waiting to check out, the receptionists bickered over who would complete a set of paperwork. One audibly complained about not being able to go on her lunch break as early as she wanted to. They messed up on my paperwork the first time, and despite an empty waiting room, I was made to wait an hour before I could be checked out. I had to ask what the status of my check out paperwork was, otherwise I'd probably STILL be there! I'm patient, but an hour? Overall, not the best environment. I booked an appointment with a different dentist the moment I got in my car. I noticed that Dr. Godes comments on a lot of negative reviews, so in anticipation of that, I want to say this: I stand by everything I've written here, and this is my honest and fair assessment of this practice. I really value holistic practitioners, and they've changed my life in many ways, so I was excited to make an appointment here. But ultimately, I didn't feel that my concerns were addressed, or that there was a good faith attempt to make a minimally invasive recommendation. I was also surprised by the lack of professionalism on the receptionists' part, and that makes me wary to deal with them again re: billing/appointments/etc. To whoever's reading this - I do hope you absolutely love your experience here, but I caution you to get a second opinion.
