I had a very disappointing experience at Healthy Smiles Dental in Sherman Oaks and would strongly…read moreadvise others to proceed with caution. Before my appointment, no one reviewed or explained the charges for my deep cleaning. I have dual PPO insurance, and I know deep cleanings are covered, yet I was still charged a significant out-of-pocket amount. I was never informed that a laser would be used, nor that it would be an additional charge per quadrant. I assumed it was part of the standard procedure. This was never discussed or consented to prior to treatment. Even more concerning, my son and I were separated and taken to different rooms, and they proceeded to do multiple fillings on my son without ever informing me how many were needed or asking for my consent. No one came to explain the treatment plan before starting, during my own procedure, or afterward. As a parent, this is completely unacceptable. At no point was I given a clear treatment plan or cost breakdown for either of us. Despite having dual insurance coverage, I was still charged $621 out of pocket. When I asked for an itemized receipt, I was told they could not provide one, which is a huge red flag. This office feels extremely money-driven, with poor communication and questionable consent practices. I truly regret not paying closer attention to the reviews before booking here. Transparency, consent, and trust are critical in healthcare--and this office failed on all three. Please avoid this place and protect yourself and your family.

By the time I was 22 I was in constant pain. My jaw was popping countless times a day. My ears hurt so bad that sometimes I would have to stay home. I got Botox treatment from a dentist telling me it would provide me immediate but temporary relief. Unfortunately this just worsened my symptoms and I thought that there was nothing that could help me. I noticed relief within one week of wearing the device that Dr. Eddie Siman provided me. All of my symptoms have been resolved in just a few months of wearing the device. Has made my day-to-day life easier more enjoyable, and my stress has decreased dramatically. The entire staff is helpful and wants to see progress in their patience. I was able to finance my device to fit my budget and my needs.

Special shoutout to Amber for a pain-free, thorough cleaning, hands down the best I've had. Dr. Liu was also fantastic: professional, reassuring, and took the time to explain everything. Instead of dreading my next visit, I actually feel confident knowing I'll be in great hands when I come back. And as a bonus... no cavities!

I chose to visit Dr. Liu because of the many 5-star reviews and hoped for a positive experience…read morewith a difficult dental issue; a broken crown that most dentists had deemed nearly impossible to save. Like others, Dr. Liu referred me to a specialist he works with, and I began a long process that included an extraction and an implant. This was my first time undergoing an implant procedure, and it was emotionally and physically stressful. Every visit felt heavy, and all I wanted was to get it done and move on. Over the course of nearly 10 months, I completed the implant with the specialist and returned to Dr. Liu for the final crown. I visited Dr. Liu's office at least eight times, possibly more, for the procedure. Throughout this process, the front office had both of my dental insurance plans on file. Yet, despite this, they never provided me with a cost estimate or gave me any indication that the crown wouldn't be covered. To my surprise, at the very end, during my final visit, I was presented with a very high bill for just the crown. It felt like a shock, especially considering that a friend of mine had a crown done by a reputable dentist in Beverly Hills and paid significantly less cash. What troubled me most wasn't just the cost, but the lack of transparency. The office had ample time and opportunity to inform me about what wasn't covered and what I would need to pay, yet they waited until everything was done. If I had been given this information upfront, I might have made a different choice. To be fair, the specialist Dr. Liu referred me to was very professional. From the first appointment, their office clearly outlined the entire cost breakdown and what my insurance possibly would and wouldn't cover. That kind of transparency gave me peace of mind; something I wish I had received from Dr. Liu's office. I believe patients deserve to make informed decisions about their care. Withholding important cost information until the end, especially when a patient is in pain and under stress, feels deeply unethical. My experience does not reflect the integrity I expected based on the reviews, and I hope this feedback encourages more transparency for future patients. While Dr. Liu seemed competent, the lack of transparency around costs left me disappointed. Patients deserve clear, upfront communication, especially during stressful, costly procedures. Had I known the full financial picture from the start, I would have made a different decision.

I had an unfortunate fall 16 years ago that badly broke one of my front teeth. I had a root canal and crown then but was always incredibly self conscious about the crown.

At the time I thought this was all I could expect, but 16 years later and a freshly updated crown complete I am beyond pleased and proud of the way my teeth look. I didn't know there would be a dentist that would care the way that Dr. Perlaza did. The lab he uses is fantastic, coming in to custom shade match, then taking the time to come back and make a slight shade adjustment because doctor was not happy with the match the first time.
