It's been about 9 months since i've been here and i've needed extensive dental work to fix the…read morehorrible job The Dental Office of Lakewood has done over the last few years. Cavities that were not filled properly, crowns that were placed crooked with cement left all over my gums and much more. They never spent time looking into my issues. I recently had a cavity refilled that they originally filled. The cavity was already broken after less than 2 years and they did not take out the entire cavity. They left so much of it under the filling i almost needed a root canal. This is a terrible office where they barely care for your teeth. They are lazy and quick with everything that they do - cleanings, fillings, crown palcements. They care about getting as many patients in and out of their office, to make as much money as possible. If you care about your teeth, do not come here.

Final Review Today…read morewas my final appointment with this dental office. Overall, the experience was okay, but I was not completely satisfied with the results. I feel I had to compromise on the bridge's appearance, speech, and overall comfort. My concerns are reflected in the pictures and previous reviews documenting my experience. Based on that experience, I would not recommend getting a bridge without carefully considering the potential compromises and thoroughly discussing your expectations with your dentist. Thank you to the staff for their time and care.

My initial reason for a dental appointment was for an x-ray and cleaning. When I arrive to the…read moreoffice, I asked the receptionist what all is included in the $109 payment. She tells me that $109 includes an x-ray and cleaning and that additional costs will be discussed after seeing the dentist. I continued with payment because I was told that $109 includes an x-ray and teeth cleaning. During my x-ray the receptionist tells me that because she's new, she made a mistake and that cleaning would be an additional $70. This experience rubbed me the wrong way because I felt mislead. The dentists, dental assistants, and technicians were great and made me feel extremely comfortable. They communicated different options and next steps for future treatments but the misinformation from the receptionist is clouding my judgement.

This review is years in the making. I don't typically write negative reviews, especially for small…read morebusinesses, because I understand one experience may not reflect the majority. But in this case, I feel it's important to share. I came to this office years ago after moving to Cerritos, right before my wedding, simply looking for a new dentist and a routine cleaning. They had great reviews, which is why I trusted them. From the start, I was told I had extensive issues--multiple cavities needed to be redone and several crowns were recommended. This was surprising to me, as I've consistently gone to the dentist and had never been told I needed such drastic work. Still, I trusted their assessment. The procedures that followed were some of the most painful dental experiences I've ever had. They took hours, felt extremely aggressive, and left me in severe pain afterward--far beyond what I've ever experienced with dental work. I have a high pain tolerance, and this felt very wrong. What was most frustrating was what happened next. I returned multiple times explaining that I couldn't sleep, eat, or function due to the pain. Each time, my concerns were dismissed and attributed to things like not flossing (umm I couldn't floss because of the extreme pain), which didn't make sense given the level of pain I was in. After pushing back repeatedly--especially with my wedding just days away--I insisted something was seriously wrong and requested further evaluation. It turned out I needed three root canals as a result of their prior work. Separately, the crowns that were placed caused ongoing issues. Eating anything with texture would cause gum pain, and I noticed unusual gaps that trapped food. When I brought this up, I was told the only solution was to redo the crowns at additional cost. My crowns also came off. Later, I happened to see a different dentist at the same office (a female provider who may have been temporary), and she immediately noted that the crowns had been placed at an awkward angle. She corrected them, and since then, I've had no pain and no further issues such as crowns falling off. I ultimately switched dentists and have not needed any major dental work since--just routine cleanings every six months, with no recurring problems. Based on what I went through--particularly the aggressive treatment, the outcome, and the dismissal of my concerns--I feel it's important for others to have full context before making a decision.

A few days later I receive a bill stating that I owed money. Receptionist called me and said that I had a balance. I told her that why didn't she state that before I had work done. She said that the insurance didn't cover it all & I had a balance. I asked for what they were charging me for & she didn't send the document.
