Chị Kim and another female assistant (sorry I did not get her name) were very friendly and professional. I get a lot of anxiety before dental procedures and had a bad experience done by another person. Dr. Tien was very careful and helped ease my fears. He also mentioned that they will be implementing laser technology to target cavities sometime next year so less invasive and definitely gives patients like me peace of mind. The stand alone building itself is easy to locate and there's plenty of parking which is unheard of in North Park! There is also a beautiful mural done on the wall facing the parking lot :) Lastly, there is a grocery store across the street called "North Park Produce" that sells produce, fresh baked flat breads daily, and various prepared Middle Eastern food. I recommend the spicy hummus. Always a must after getting a cleaning done at Boulevard Dental :). Thank you for reading, and happy holidays

I had unbearable tooth pain and was looking for a reputable dentist since I lacked insurance I have…read morenot had a dental procedure in 25 years and did not have the knowledge of where are which dentist office to reach out to. After researching on Yelp, I found that A+ Family Dental was conveniently located and had received overwhelmingly positive reviews. I called them up and inquired if they could accommodate me that day. They kindly assured me that they could take me in immediately. Upon entering A+ Family Dental, I was immediately greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff, incredibly kind and sweet, made me feel like I was at home rather than a patient. Dr. Victor examined my teeth, and we discussed some options. I went with the extraction and bone graft. I did enjoy the options and not feel compelled. I was a bit concerned about the pain. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the procedure was pain-free. They even provided an air sensation on the opposite side of my cheek, which helped distract me from the initial injection, which was completely painless due to the numbing of the gums beforehand. The entire staff demonstrated exceptional expertise and professionalism, which convinced me of their capabilities. Since then, I've had several other dental procedures performed there, including bone grafting, removal of old silver fillings that were damaged, fillings, and a deep cleaning with text messages reminding you of your up-and-coming appointments and then follow-ups after your procedure, seeing how you feel. They have been accommodating with payment arrangements, and I have become a loyal customer. I truly appreciate the helpful and friendly nature of the staff. They were always eager to answer any questions I had, no matter how simple they may have seemed. Additionally, they provided valuable tips on maintaining good oral hygiene and even gave me a bag filled with dental essentials, In conclusion, A+ Family Dental truly deserves its name. Their exceptional service, expertise, and commitment to patient satisfaction make them a top choice for dental care. Thank you so much to the entire staff from front of the house to the back. You made my visits very special and welcoming. Also, a very special heart-warming thank you to Dr. Victor and hygienist Princess. You made my experience very special and positive, bringing my smile even brighter. Thank you once again and looking forward to our next appointment.

My mother had not been to the dentist in many years and, unfortunately, we learned that she needs dentures at this point. Throughout the entire visit, the customer service was amazingly great.

Additionally, the insurance specialist was very helpful and kind. They clearly explained the costs involved and walked us through the various finance options available.

My husband and I went in today to Dr Zak's North Park location to get set up as new patients…read more After being taken back for X-rays I was told this would be a virtual appointment with the dentist. After going through the X-rays & 3D scans I was taken to a room where the dentist and the "treatment coordinator" appeared on a Zoom call on a TV screen. The dentist used AI software to analyze my teeth, and declared everything looked good and that I would just need a routine cleaning. The treatment coordinator then told me my out of pocket cost would be $140 for antiseptic just in case my gums bled (which how would they know when no one examined my mouth?). Preventative exams and teeth cleanings are 100% covered by insurance so I was surprised by this. Then they told me I'd have to come back at a later time for a separate appointment for the cleaning. Where to even start here... This was the most impersonal healthcare appointment I've ever been to. I understand the benefit of virtual healthcare (and AI tools in some instances) but for a new patient establishing care this was an awful experience, so my husband and I both walked out. When I called my insurance both agents I spoke to were shocked and had never heard of a virtual dentist appointment and said they would've walked out too. I'd like to clarify that this is not a reflection of the staff at the North Park office. Everyone there was super sweet and helpful. This is more about this company's business practices.

I have lived a life of severe dental anxiety causing me to not see a dentist for decades. I thought…read morethis was "fine" until i started experiencing serious pain in a molar that had broken, along with some new sensitivity in some very old fillings. The reality set in that I couldn't hide behind my dental anxiety any longer. I reached out to Dr. McClanahan and set up an appointment. Even setting foot in the office was causing heart palpitations. I had no idea what to expect! I have read online that some dentists shame patients for neglecting care, or how some just don't care if you're anxious. My mind was full of all kinds of interesting thoughts and fears. I told him and his staff that I am anxious, and they treated me with extra care and explained everything along the way. After some x-rays and a consultation, I needed an extraction and some fillings! Yikes. It was kind of a shock, although I knew I'd need some extensive work. I also knew that my years of dental fear had finally caught up to me. Fast forward to today, and I have had my extraction and I just completed my fillings. Thanks to Dr. McClanahan and his team, their calming and reassuring attitudes, and the power of oral conscious sedation, I've had my dental issues resolved and I have made serious progress toward my life-long dental anxiety. I went in today to have my bite adjusted after the fillings, and I have to say I was not even anxious stepping into the office and hearing and feeling the adjustment of my fillings taking place. I've even scheduled my next cleaning. For once I am living pain-free and worry-free. I put it off for so long. I didn't know life could be this way. If you're like me, and have suffered with dental anxiety, just know that it sounds impossible but you can live a pain-free, anxiety-free life, thanks to Dr. McClanahan and his amazing team.

So, today is a visit that is way past due. I have a fear of dentists. I have had several…read moreexperiences and tooth sensitivity that has caused this fear. Well, today, the staff greeted me upon arrival. I was checked in and then asked to wait in the patient waiting room. The waiting room is clean, quiet, and calming before a visit. There is event a purified water dispenser with little cups for filling up. The dental technician/asst named Abby called my name for my appointment to begin. She greeted me and then she roomed me. Once in the room, she took internal photos of my teeth and mouth, gave me a blood pressure wristband , and also administered the saliva bacteria test/lab. I got the results within 10-15 mins on my online Dental MyChart record, they are quick here! Abby then received permission from the dentist to take me to get my x-rays. They have a standup machine that's like taking an oral CT Scan 360° photo of your mouth. Then we had the regular dental x-rays where you have to bite down on the trays with the xray manual camera. I really thought it was cool because they also offered to clean my orthodontic retainer while I was here. It literally took only 15 or 20 minutes and it has been cleaner than I've ever seen it since I got it 7-8 years ago. Thanks! Once done with all of my intake tasks, I was able to meet my new dentist, Dr Wu. I explained to her my concerns, and she was very good about examining my mouth and being gentle as well as giving me all of the information that I needed during her exam. I have to say this is probably the best dentist I've ever encountered so far. Her demeanor is wonderful and she does a really good job at articulating and explaining everything that she's thinking about or diagnosing in your mouth. I did also appreciate that she reviewed my saliva bacterial test results and that she gave really good insight on some of the things that the results mean. Doctor Who has a way of making you not feel bad about your situation in your mouth and I really appreciate her for that. Some people are really natural about positive bedside manner, and Dr. Woo was definitely one of those people. Thanks! Since I felt so comfortable, I have agreed to continue and get my work done here. Once Dr. Woo was done with me, she was able to introduce me to Tom who was able to give me all the information that I needed for my treatment plan and everything that Dr. Wu described and explained to me about her course of treatment. Tom is very pleasant and welcoming, and he is also the same person who checked me in and made me feel comfortable for my visit. I like his positive vibe, it matches Dr. Wu's positivity. I will update my review after I get my dental work done, but I'm very happy that I chose to come here. Today as a new patient, I got a brand new toothbrushing kit, which includes some really cool stuff. My daughter has been a patient at Kensington Dental for many years. I will recommend this place also to my mother because she was asking how it went.

After changing dentists around age 10 to 11, we were immediately told she had a severe overjet (approximately 11 mm) and should begin treatment.

Parents may want to ask specifically about bite and jaw alignment during visits rather than relying on it being addressed.

Medical only covers once a year which totally sucks. Anyway I was hoping I didn't have a nervous breakdown in the chair due to PTSD from the old creepy dentist. I held it together and she was very kind. First of all scheduling was easy. I got an appointment surprisingly fast every time. I have never had to wait more than a few minutes in the waiting room, but they do seat you and make you wait. I worked in the dental field for over 20 years which I never tell people. I want to see how they do things. My last visit they sat me and she was still scaling teeth which is the start of a cleaning. She did apologize for the wait which I was fine. (I hate when they don't acknowledge it). She used topical per my request. It is helpful if you have not been in awhile. She had a brand new ultrasonic cleaner, but most of her equipment is dated and need of repairs. Everything appeared sterilized correctly. The x-ray machine has a wandering arm making the assistants job difficult. So as a patient for 2 years I have not had ANY cavities which is shocking. I always have cavities. So I find it hard to believe she over diagnosed someone on their review. She is very thorough and gentle. Is she chatty? NO Is this state of the art? NO Is it a good dentist. YES And that is a hard thing to find on Medical.

Dr. Kambiz Arjmand and his amazing team were able to fit me in right away--with zero wait time! From the moment I sat in the chair, I felt completely taken care of. A quick but thorough exam led to immediate treatment, and the entire process--from numbing to finishing the filling--took just 40 minutes. Not only was it completely painless, but every detail was handled with total care and professionalism. They went above and beyond to ensure my comfort: dark glasses to block the light, a supportive pillow behind my neck--every small touch made a big difference. And when it came to skill, Dr. Arjmand was incredible. He adjusted the filling to the perfect height with such precision--I was genuinely amazed at how quick and smooth the whole procedure was. To top it off, I don't have dental insurance, and this was by far the most affordable dental care I've ever received. Follow-up instructions were clear, and they even helped me schedule my next appointments before I left. I was eating normally before I even got home!

Over that time, Dr. Brian Mananquil and the entire Bella Vita Dental team have consistently gone above and beyond to make sure every concern I've had was addressed with patience, transparency, and genuine care. My treatment has been pretty extensive, to say the least. Dr. Brian has handled everything from implants and sinus lifts to numerous rounds of Invisalign and refinements, along with all of my general fillings, crowns, and other dental work. You name it--I've probably had to get it done; my teeth needed the whole kitchen sink. Throughout the entire process, he has always taken the time to clearly explain my options, answer every question I had, and make adjustments whenever I wanted to explore different approaches. I never once felt rushed or dismissed, which is incredibly important when you're making decisions about major dental work. What stands out most is how accommodating and patient he has been. Even when I've been very detail-oriented about my results, he's always been willing to work with me to get things exactly right. That level of commitment and professionalism is rare. The office is also consistently well-run, the staff is friendly and organized, and appointments are handled smoothly. If you're looking for a dentist or orthodontist who is skilled, thoughtful, and truly invested in achieving the best outcome for their patients, I can't recommend Dr. Brian enough. After five years of complex treatment, I'm extremely grateful I chose this practice.

I've been a patient at Bella Vita since 2019. For years, I raved about their services…read more Unfortunately, that's no longer the case. At my last cleaning, I was repeatedly pushed toward a deep cleaning I didn't want or need. It took three firm "no" responses before the receptionist finally dropped it. I went into my most recent appointment already hesitant, and to no surprise, the same thing happened again. This time, I confronted them about it and ultimately walked out without receiving the cleaning I scheduled. Their entire process seems to have been reversed. What used to be: X-rays cleaning recommendations has become: X-rays gum measurements a sales pitch for $3,000+ worth of treatment pressure to commit before receiving the service you came in for. After I told the receptionist I simply wanted the cleaning I had scheduled, the hygienist came in and immediately asked, "What's your hesitation?" That felt less like patient care and more like a sales tactic. When I voluntarily schedule and pay for a dental appointment, I expect to receive the service I came for - not a high-pressure sales pitch. I will not be returning, and I will not be recommending Bella Vita. What was once a practice with great service and kind people now feels more like a dental dealership focused on upselling before patient care. It's a shame. You had something good, and you squandered it.
