I have to update my initial review of Dr. Pinar. I had my first root canal a few months back. I have heard horror stories, but my experience with Dr. Pinar was a non event. He somehow gives injections without you really noticing. He is a professional. read more

Dr. Dan is the best!! Everyone who works in his office is super friendly and they take great care of you. Dr. Pinar is also amazing with Novocain shots. They don't hurt at all when he does them. I'm a huge wimp about going to the dentist and he does everything possible to make sure I'm comfortable and not too freaked out. I really like their new offices and parking is easy and validated. read more

I went to Dr. Pinar's for an exam, x-rays and a cleaning. I cannot recommend Dr. Pinar and his amazing staff highly enough. Hector, at reception, spent over an hour working with my insurance to figure out my coverage. Mario, the dental assistant, was fantastic. The office, the exam room and the equipment were incredibly clean - so important! I found my dentist and have told all my friends! read more

I've been coming here for many years now (back when they were in their old offices on Melrose). Dr Pinar and his entire staff make sure the whole process from setting up appointments to cleaning and xrays is smooth. read more

A friend had referred me to Dr. Pinar when I moved back to the LA area. I hadn't been to a dentist in a few years and have been putting it off because of work. Well, one weekend my crown fell off and without thinking, I discarded it. So, Monday afternoon, I gave his office a call and explained my situation. The office immediately fit me in for an appointment the next day! I was in and out in no time with a temporary crown. Disaster avoided. I have since been back again for a general cleaning, and the experience couldn't have gone any smoother. Dan is great, but I have to say, the ENTIRE staff was just so friendly this time, that I felt compelled to write a review, because of them! Thanks, Dr. Pinar and staff! read more

I am from out of town and had a small chip in my tooth that was bothering me for a week. I called Dr. Pinar's office and got an appointment the next day. I was in and out of the office within 30 minutes, including signing up as a new patient. The fee was very reasonable and my tooth feels awesome! read more

Returned for the cleaning and just as my prior visit, Dr. Pinar was so thoughtful, attentive, friendly and efficient. I don't know that I've ever had a more thorough and gentle dental cleaning. I was running late in dense traffic, but rather than being annoyed and inflexible, his staff was kind and accommodating. Highly recommended. read more

Have been coming to this office since 2006 at least. Love the office, staff and both dentists. I have had checkups with both Dr McFadden and Dr Pinar. They are both awesome. Always get excellent service and the front office staff is always easy to work with. Highly recommend this office. read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in like five years because I thought I hated it. After seeing Dr. Pinar, though, I'm almost looking forward to my next appointment! For starters, he's basically the nicest guy ever. I immediately felt at ease with him as he explained everything to me. He didn't shame me at all about not regularly going to the dentist and didn't badger me about getting my wisdom teeth out which is something pretty much every dentist I've been to since I was a teenager has done. It turns out I had a cavity which I needed filled so I was a little freaked out but Dr. Pinar told me how everything would go and that it would be pretty painless. Guess what?! He was right! It was totally painless and I left his office in a great mood. He's by far the best dentist I've ever been to and possibly the best doctor of any type! Oh and FREE TOOTHBRUSHES! Score! read more

I'm someone who hasn't been to the dentist in several years, finally went. There were no negative comments nor guilt-trips for having taken such a long lapse... he just went to work, told me what I needed to know, and left me feeling great about the the decision to come in and be seen. Dr. Pinar and his staff were professional and courteous, have decent pricing/payment options, and I'm happy with the work. Highly recommend. read more

AWFUL. Please beware. I've begun legal action against Dr. Dan Pinar. He promised my Invisalign treatment would run for six months. Over two years later, my bite was not fixed, and I continued to suffer through several issues he pledged to fix in my consultation. Dr. Pinar refused to take accountability, and refused to either issue a full refund to me, or to pay my new dentist for the additional two years of braces I now have to endure as a result of his negligence. This is without exaggeration the most unprofessional treatment I've received from an industry professional. read more

Seriously cannot say enough good things about Dr. Pinar. I used a broken jaw injury as a catalyst to find a new dentist. I was previously going to some sleazy beverly hills dentist that I had just been too lazy to switch from with my insurance because his office location was convenient, but when I broke my jaw and needed some serious dental work done, and I wanted to go to someone I really trusted. Received his info as a recommendation from a friend who both he and his boyfriend go to this office and I could not be happier. Their office staff is always so friendly - a far cry from the rude staff I was accustomed to at my old dentist. Office location is convenient as well, across from Cedar Sinai, parking is free with validation. Dr. Pinar has done amazing repair work on my teeth - I have anxiety about dentists/drilling/anything to do with my teeth but I always feel completely relaxed when I am here since I have never been in pain while he's doing any work on my teeth. I even switched my insurance to have a dental PPO so I can continue going to this office for regular cleanings once all my repairs are done. It's really difficult to find a good dentist in LA, so now that I've found one, I'm keeping him. Highly, highly recommend. read more

I have been avoiding getting a dentist like the plague and was lucky enough to have found Dr. Pinar !!!! He is professional, makes you feel comfortable, and on top of it all is Great at what he does! I highly recomend Dr. Pinar to anyone out there and hope you are lucky enough to have him as your dentist as well. read more

If there was a sixth star, he would have it. Dan Pinar and his staff are the best! I came from a bad situation, with another dentist, and he turned my frown upside down. He is meticulous, almost like an artist. I never feel an ounce of pain. He is patient and loving. He even came in on a Saturday when I was having an issue. Not only is he the best dentist in the world, he's an amazing person. Down to earth, great sense of humor. You feel like he is a friend...that happens to be hovering over you, drilling into your face. Ha. But, you know what I mean. He is the best! And when I was yelping, I found these reviews and that's what made me go to see him. So if you need a new dentist, this is your guy! read more

I've been going to Dr. Pinar for a little over a year. Initially I was at his office to see the dentist Dr. McFadden, but after talking about wanting to straighten my very crooked bottom teeth, I headed from the dentist's chair right over into Dr. Pinar's chair and I was fitted for invisalign that same day. I see him regularly once a month to get my new braces and he is always super friendly and my visits are quick and painless. I never have a problem booking an appointment and the parking and location makes it an easy in and out process. read more

My last visit to the dentist was almost 15 years ago. Clearly, I am not keen on dental visits. I am extremely reluctant to allow anyone near my teeth, and because of that I have always made sure to brush and floss regularly. However, we all know that eventually the day will come when we have no choice but to give in and do it. That, or end up with dentures. So, I looked at some reviews on Yelp and came across Dr. Pinar. Since the reviews were pleasing and he was right down the street, I decided to give it a shot. I had a deep cleaning done, and some old cavities refilled, and the whole time I was in that chair I didn't feel a thing. I mean NOT A THING. It was the most pleasant dental experience I have ever had, and truth be told, I actually enjoyed my visit and can't wait to go again! Yes, I said it. I am actually looking forward to going back and very excited that my teeth are going to be well taken care of for as long as I have them. My teeth look and feel AMAZING!!! He is an awesome dentist, and a super nice guy as well. He will be my dentist for life. read more

First off, let me begin by saying I NEVER write yelp reviews -- but after my experience with Dr. Pinar, I felt it was the only right thing to do seeing as he has changed my outlook on dentists all together. Dr. Dan is the BEST dentist in L.A. -- not just for people who are VERY fearful of getting dental work done like myself, but also because he is a grade A professional at his craft. I Went into his office and was greeted by a very friendly staff and felt comfortable through the entire process. He knew I had a bad fear so he talked me through the whole thing and made me laugh quite a bit to lighten the mood.. I originally planned to just get my teeth cleaned to appease my girlfriend and just ignore all the other dental work that needed to be done, but because I had such an excellent experience with him I plan to go back and get all the necessary work finished (which is a lot mind you, 5 cavities and a broken tooth) -- not to mention, I don't have dental insurance ... but at the end of the day you gotta pay for quality, and that is what Dr. Pinar exudes. I look forward to my next appointment! read more

Simply the best dentist have had the pleasure to visit. Had a chip in my front tooth and Dr. Pinar displayed true artistry in repairing it. Tooth looks as real in shape and color as can be imagined. He "bedside manner" is second to none. He is attentive, kind and uber talented. As far as visiting the dentist, Dr. Dan cannot be beat. read more

Highly recommended! I came here needing my chipped tooth fixed. Dr. McFadden took his time and exceeded my expectations with the results. Staff was very friendly also! Will definitely be back. :) read more

Great guy. Very competent and put me instantly at ease. Comfortable office in a convenient, central location. Helpful, efficient front office staff. It's all good. read more

I had an appointment today and it was excellent as usual. The receptionist, dental hygienist, and Dr Pinar were a pleasure to see. I don't have dental insurance, but the prices are affordable. I recommend Dr Pinar to everyone. read more

Dan Pinar has given me my ability to enjoy food back! After going to another dentist who advised me I needed root canal, I visited Dan for a second opinion. He was able to see a crack in the tooth that the previous dentist had missed (preventing me from eating on one side of my mouth for for 6 months) and fixed the problem without root canal. Dan rocks! read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in over five years and had been dreading my appointment and the likely scolding I'd hear. I'm always skeptical of dentists, especially in LA, because I've been pressured into spending way more than is actually necessary. OMG -- I haven't been this pleasantly surprised in a long time! Dr. Pinar is personable, professional, and didn't try to push a single procedure outside of the normal exam and cleaning. The location is easy (parking is validated!), the front office staff are lovely, and I am now actually looking forward to going to get my teeth cleaned again in December. Can't recommend this guy enough!! read more

just got home from my visit to dr. pinar and the experience was awesome. my temporary bridge that i got from another dentist has fallen out two days ago while my dentist is on vacation. i decided to go dr. pinar after reading all the reviews and everybody is right on about dr. pinar operation. the receptionist was sweet and courteous. the dental assistant was very professional. dr pinar himself apologized profusely when the appt with the client in front of me ran a bit late and i had to wait for about 20mins. he got to work and put my temporary bridge on and i was out of the chair in 20mins. if i haven't already committed to UCLA School of Dentistry i'd definitely switched over. Thanks!! read more

Both Dr's Mcfadden and Pinar are Fantastic

I'm somewhat of an expert on dental offices. I've had tooth and gum stuff going on since I was just a wee lad. I've been many offices that cross the spectrum from "dental spas" where they literally give you warm towels to the "economy" office where you're not sure it their doing dental work or construction. Dan's office takes the best from all of them and wraps it in a bow. I recently had some bonding done to fill in some gaps, and it looks like that has been my teeth from the beginning - it looks so natural -- I can't tell where my real tooth is and where the bonding is -- just fantastic. Thank you Dan! read more

A year and a half ago we were thrilled to meet Dr. Dan. He came highly recommended by friends and family. My husband began a full mouth implant reconstruction. As we were from out of country the process took close to a year but the final results were worth it. He gave my husband back good health and a great smile Hollywood style. Dan is thorough, conscientious, meticulous, caring, concise and best of all painless. He takes away the dental fear and makes going almost a pleasure. He will hopefully continue to be our family dentist over the years to come. After dozens of appointments we have come to know the staff well and are pleased to call Dan not only our dentist but a friend. read more

This experience was wonderful from start to finish with this incident, when I broke a tooth eating popcorn. My previous dentist (Carlos Setti, also in West Hollywood) was on vacation and then couldn't see me for nearly two weeks after that, plus he and his office were SO hard to deal with, with constant up-selling from aggressive office staff, so I called Dr. Pinar's office instead. Such a wonderful difference! Dr. Pinar texted me very soon after, on the weekend, and could see me first thing Monday morning. I thought I needed a crown, but he was able to determine I only needed a half-crown. The fees were fair and reasonable. He did the temporary one, even calling to check in the next day, then did the permanent one. Each session was COMPLETELY painless from start to finish -- even the anesthetic injection was painless! And the final product was beautiful -- looked like my real tooth. He was fast, efficient, and all the while incredibly charming, handsome, nice, and made me feel comfortable. What a prince of a dentist! I highly recommend him. The office staff is great, too, and they validate parking. This is a great community resource! read more
