About a year ago, we moved from Marina del Rey to Belmont Shore. Although I still work in Manhattan…read moreBeach, continuing to drive to Culver City for dental appointments no longer made much sense. My wife researched local dental practices and came across this highly rated office. I'm happy to say the reviews were spot on. I came in with a detached bridge and a shattered crown that required significant attention. After two appointments with Dr. Listiyo, I can't say enough about how caring, empathetic, and professional he and his entire team have been throughout the process. What a difference it makes when your dentist and staff genuinely care about their patients. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed, valued, and confident that you're receiving excellent care. I would gladly recommend this dental practice to anyone looking for a better dental experience. They have certainly earned my trust and future business.

I have about $4K of dental work needing done as a self pay patient. Dr. Listiyo advised the treatments in order of urgency and the treatment consultant Susana sent over my estimate as requested to my email. I want to get my work done with this office and am now looking into insurance given this huge financial commitment. Hoping it all works out so that I can get it done here! Parking is provided in the garage attached to the left side of the building.

I recently visited Dodds for a dental cleaning, and unfortunately, my experience was far from…read moresatisfactory. My employer offers to reimburse a percentage of certain dental services, so I pay entirely out of pocket. When I scheduled my appointment I informed them of this and let them know I would need to know the prices of services before they are performed since I do not have traditional insurance. As the appointment goes on there are several scans that are recommended, which prompts me to ask the price of each additional service before they do them. To make a long story short, I explained to Dr. Dodds that I may one day get my own delta dental PPO plan ($64/mo- see photo attached) but for now I plan to pay out of pocket and have my employer reimburse me. Dr. Dodds said there was no way I could get a delta PPO direct plan for that amount. I kept trying to explain this to him, but he continued to condescendingly tell me it's impossible and must be through covered CA or I'm looking at an HMO plan (which they don't accept). As the appointment went on it was clear me to that the staff and doctors were very irritated that I asked for the prices of services. All in all, Dodds Dental assumed that I was low income and could not afford their services. Fortunately, I have a well paying job and make well over 6 figures. Regardless, it's quite unnerving to me that if you are assumed to be low income that Dodds Dental would treat you in a poor manner and make you feel unworthy of their office. I cannot support a dental office who treats people differently based on their income status. I suggest that anyone who values treating all people equal regardless of race, income status, physical appearance, etc do the same. I hope this is a wake up call and they can do better for those who come into their office in the future.

I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Laura and her amazing staff. Through recommendations from two…read morefriends, I found Dr Laura. I'm so very grateful . I've been coming here for Invisalign and couldn't be happier . In addition to the wonderful care I receive , they blew my mind with how they jumped in to help my mom. She was unexpectedly hospitalized for two weeks and the hospital lost her dentures . The prior dentist no longer had her molds and my mom was devastated I called Dr Laura's office and explained the ordeal and they immediately made room to see my mom. They jumped through hoops to find a temporary solution and immediately got to work on the new dentures. The compassion, care, kindness and accommodations they made to help my mom during this time truly means the world to us. I'm forever grateful and proud to recommend Dr Laura to everyone!

Helpful office staff too. The one thing I didn't like was how loud they constantly have music playing throughout the whole office. But since then, the positives have nearly disappeared: nearly every person in the office, from the front office staff to the people who do my dental work, have turned over, and I get a mixed bag of quality and bedside manner. And I have to do it with insipid pop music blaring loudly at me, to where headphones are required as a defensive measure in a situation that's already going to be uncomfortable. Additionally, they've started to have AI answering their phones, don't return messages, have ramped up the corporate feel, and just generally don't seem to care about either the patient experience or continuity of care any more. So I'm looking for a new dentist now.

Exceptional Care and Expertise from Ashley, RDA…read more I recently completed my Invisalign treatment, and I couldn't be happier with the care and attention I received from Ashley, my Registered Dental Assistant. From the very beginning, Ashley demonstrated exceptional care and attention to detail, ensuring that every step of my treatment was meticulously planned and executed. One of the standout qualities of Ashley is her punctuality and understanding nature. My schedule can be quite unpredictable, but Ashley was always accommodating and flexible, making sure that my appointments fit seamlessly into my busy life. Ashley is incredibly knowledgeable about Invisalign and dental care in general. She provided clear explanations and answered all my questions with patience and expertise. Thanks to her guidance and support, what was initially planned as a two-year treatment was completed in under a year! Her skill and dedication made a significant difference in my treatment journey. 100% chat GPT helped with this review but she's an awesome RDA that's great to work with, as well as the the dental practice. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone seeking dental care, especially those considering Invisalign.

STOP! You have found the hidden gems. Let me start off by saying Dr Ong and his team from Heidi,…read moreLeanna, and Celeste are the best. I ended up cracking a tooth in half when I was eating. Needless to say I knew right away it was not good. There was no saving the tooth. I visited several dentist who specialize in teeth implants, and I was getting very discouraged that I would even find someone that I felt comfortable with. Truthfully, I was scared to have an implant. Especially since it sounds very invasive and foreign. To most of us it's a very new procedure. Well then I met with Dr Ong and Heidi. Right away I felt that I was in good hands. The office is modern, clean and fully equipped with the most modern equipment. Dr Ong and Heidi went over everything with me on what I can expect and the finances. I went home that day very confident that I was going to have my first implant and not a window when I smiled. The day of my appointment started with the usual shots, and let me just say that was the most pain, which wasn't even bad. When Dr Ong said he was finished I was surprised cause I didn't even know he had already put in the implant. Go see Dr Ong you will not regret it.

I contacted the office to coordinate a day and time for me to fly in (yes fly in - I live in Dallas), Dr. Ong came in on his day off to work on my tooth! I needed a root canal and a crown, dr Ong and Cynthia got everything done in 1 day - not to brag but it only took 2 1/2 hours for them to put my tooth back together! They have the wonderful cerec machine that made my crown in the office. Dr. Ong is a magician - the color is spot on, the anatomy is so real, you would never even know what tooth he worked on. Oh and his chair side manor is like no other, he explains what he is doing and what you might feel or hear as he works, constantly asking if you are ok. I am forever grateful for dr Ong and Cynthia getting my tooth all back together, you guys are the absolute best, thank you so much for getting me in! If it's not the ONG way it's the wrONG way!
