Like many others, I'm not the biggest fan of those biannual cleanings (ouchy), but Kwon & Jabbour have made the experience as painless as possible. Their facility is clean, modern, and very high-tech. There's a lot of effort to ensure patient comfort and wellbeing. I didn't realize how outdated my previous dentist's tech was until I came here... And also realized how much smoother the teeth cleaning experience could be. Each time I've visited, the staff are professional, kind, and welcoming. I've been wary of predatory practices after hearing about peers' bad experiences with dentists-- fortunately, you definitely don't have to worry about that here. Dr. Jabbour and staff show genuine care towards patient wellbeing and patiently break down any treatments or recommendations if you have questions. I feel very reassured that they have my best interests in mind.

    A bit torn about this dental practice, and I've used them for years. I genuinely like Dr. Lily Li's…read morepersonality - she is a very gentle soul. But then a few things got me concerned in the recent years. 2 reviewers here claim that they ended up with a root canal for a filling done wrong. Same thing happened to me, and it seems to be more than a coincidence. Bit of context - I had a chipped molar which never really bothered me for some 15+ years (literally). At some point, my previous dentist, John Savukinas, Rockville - Maryland, convinced me heavily that I needed a filling for my chipped tooth. The filling he gave me lasted 10 years with no issues. I went to Dr. Lilly Li to get the filling re-done and she hit the root when she was grinding down the tooth further. And I ended up with a root canal. Unfortunately, she also hit the adjacent molar during her grinding exercise, and that tooth ended up with a cavity. And that is the only cavity that I've known in my entire life. I am not sure if the office uses outdated equipment, but she has insisted for a few years that I have another cavity elsewhere, and I could never tell that is the case. Recently, I changed out dentists, and my new dentist agrees that there isn't any other cavity and a simple deep-cleaning would suffice. Moral of the story: You know more about your oral hygiene than any dentist ever would. If you are good about taking care of your oral hygiene very regularly, then please pause to reevaluate if you really need all these 'fillings' that they try to pawn off onto you. Worse, when you don't even have a cavity and they keep telling you for years that you need a filling. Fillings weaken your teeth, and chances of you ending up with a root-canal after these repeat fillings is real. This is no joke. Do NOT let them talk down to you and force you into getting a filling when your gut knows that there is no issue. This goes for ANY dentist, not just her or Dr.John Savukinas (my previous dentist). One of the dental hygienists in her office (the African American lady) admonishingly patronized me when I refused a filling for that reason. Amusing that they would assume that people visiting their office don't understand basic science. Else, everyone else in the office is super pleasant to work with. I've since moved onto another dental practice that better suits me, but I wish their office the best.

    The dental care itself was fine. However, the billing process has been unnecessarily stressful. My…read morehusband paid in full before his treatment, but due to a filing error on the office's part, the insurance claim was mishandled. When we asked for the claim to be resubmitted correctly, we were told it had been, but our insurance confirmed that no such resubmission occurred. Despite confirming with our insurance that we are not responsible for the remaining balance, we continue to receive bills and feel unfairly pressured to pay again. The tone of communication has become increasingly uncomfortable, and they treat us as if we're avoiding our obligations. The lack of transparency and accountability from the office has made it difficult to trust their billing practices. I'm sharing this not out of anger, but in the hope that the office will take steps to improve how they handle billing and communication.

    I moved to this practice after my dentist dropped Delta insurance coverage, and because it was…read moreclose to my house. Dr. Wang was the first dentist to recommend I replace most of my existing metal fillings. I have never had pain in my teeth, but he was adamant the fillings were on their last legs and it would be a good long-term investment. I was a little apprehensive because he looked so young and didn't give me much confidence when he spoke, but I ended up giving him the green light. Immediately after he replaced the fillings, I had pain in all of those teeth and it would not subside, some of it excrutiating when chewing anything. I went back to their office several times over the course of several months regarding the pain and Dr. Wang would tell me my bite must be off, and kept shaving my teeth down, further and further. This was very obviously not the problem, and he eventually referred me to an endodontist (root canal specialist). The endodontist determined all 5(?) of the teeth must have micro-fractures in them from the procedures, and recommended root canals be performed in at least 3 of those teeth. The first, expensive and unpleasant, root canal only dulled the pain, and a second root canal was performed on the same tooth, but to no avail. I obtained a second opinion from a more experienced dental practice, and they were certain the fillings were done improperly and needed to be redone entirely. My insurance policy will not cover these procedures because they were "already performed recently," despite all of the problems resulting from Dr. Wang's incompetence. The dentist also said my remaining metal filling(s) looked fantastic and that the others very likely did not need to be replaced to begin with. So now after roughly 8 months have passed and a great deal of money spent, I am still in pain and unable to enjoy a meal, must avoid crunchy foods entirely, and must pay thousands more to correct the damage that was done by Dr. Wang. I do plan on filing a complaint with the DBC, and have not ruled out making an attempt to collect damages just to pay for the corrective work. Do yourself a big favor and STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRACTICE.

    My long time dentist retired and this new dental group took over. Not much has changed which is…read moregood. I come from Sacramento to have my teeth cleaned and looked at so it's still worth the trip. The hygienists have mostly stayed the same, with some retiring as it was there time, but for the most part they are still intact. Appointments- They are only open 1 Saturday a month so it's rough trying to get a Saturday appointment. I usually make my appointment at the end of my appointment so they can usually schedule me in a time that works best. Just be aware that it's tough to reschedule an appointment the closer it gets to your appointment as appointments are made 6 months in advance. Parking- They are in a business park and they have a private lots so parking isn't an issue. Farmer's Market- If you come on a Saturday there is usually a Farmer's market across the street in the Kaiser Shopping Center. So if you are early or waiting for someone there is something to do. Dentist- It's a husband and wife couple. They are both very nice and all seems well. I don't have any gum disease or cavities so I can only judge on the regular 6 month appointments. For now I'm a satisfied customer. Ambiance- It's nice a cozy, the receptionist knows your name so you feel at home. They have a bathroom right off the waiting area where you can refresh your mouth before going to the appointment. Make sure you ask the receptionist for a disposable tooth brush to do a quick cleaning before you have your appointment. They used to have them in the restroom for your, but took them out. They are infused with toothpaste so there is no need for more. There is also mouthwash and cups in the bathroom so you can do a quick swish. Decor- I still love the paw prints on the ceiling tiles. The place is clean and fresh. I love the unique whimsical stools the air purifier is on. They have little games for the kids to play while they wait and a stack of magazines to read in the lobby. Goodie Bag- Kids still have a toy check they can get a toy from. That is always a plus. When I was a kid I'd love getting my tiny gift. And for the adults we get a new toothbrush, the color of our choice, a choice of toothpaste and floss. I love the mini toothpaste as I use them when I travel. They are the perfect size for TSA.

I showed up for my appt and they ghosted me. Lights were out, nobody was there and it looked like there were spider webs on the door as if it hadn't been open in a while. I have no idea if they are even still there. They never called before or after when my appointment was supposed to be and I tried calling them multiple times that week with no answer. I still can't tell if they are shutdown or not, so I started going to another dentist in that business park area.
