This office has done a lot to alleviate my longstanding dental phobia. First of all, the lobby is…read moresuper soothing and spa-like, with a coastal vibe, and they have a bunch of choices of tea or Nespresso. When you get to the chair, they'll have sunglasses for you so the lights aren't in your face, and if you are having a long procedure, you can watch a video of your choosing. But more importantly, the dentists (I've seen Dr. Simonsen and Dr. Melhem both) are kind, gentle, and thorough. I had two crowns, my first ever, a few years ago, and I was VERY nervous, since I have had previous fillings and extractions with inadequate anesthesia. The office has a long and detailed questionnaire where you can identify your triggers and they offer you ways to ameliorate them. I started feeling the work partway through and Dr. Simonsen stopped to re-numb me, instead of carrying on like dentists I've had in the past. They also offered breaks, and got me a ball from the prize chest to squeeze so I wouldn't maul my palms. The hygienists, Alison and Lisa, are also both great. Friendly, gentle, and detail oriented. They'll get you sparkling clean without making your mouth sore. I actually don't dread going for a cleaning!

Five Stars - Truly Life-Changing Smile!…read more I cannot thank Dr. Melhem and the team at Carmel Family Dental enough for the amazing transformation they achieved with my Daughters smile! She had some gaps and discoloration that made her feel self-conscious, after her Orthodontic treatment. Dr. Melhem recommended the BioClear bonding treatment as a same-day fix that wouldn't require any removal of her natural tooth structure. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Dr. Melhem explained every step in detail, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure my Daughter and I both felt completely comfortable. The treatment itself was quick, painless, and the results were immediate. The difference is incredible - her teeth now look smooth, even, and natural (you can see the before and after photos!). The material blended perfectly with her natural teeth color, and her smile looks brighter and healthier than I ever imagined possible. The office is warm and welcoming, the staff is friendly and professional, and you can tell they truly care about their patients. I'm so grateful for Dr. Melhem's expertise and artistry - this is more than dental work, it's confidence restored! If you're considering BioClear or any cosmetic dental work, I cannot recommend Dr. Melhem and Carmel Family Dental enough. You'll be in the best hands.

If I would have known that it was going to be $1600 out of my pocket, I would have waited until next year. Make sure to get quotes...but even then, make sure the quotes are accurate.
