When I review a restaurant, it boils down to one question: "Is the food made with love?" For…read moredentistry, the question becomes: "Are my teeth made with love?" I can vehemently vouch for Dr. Erica, Dr. Patrick, and their incredible staff at Bello. (Btw, this review is long overdue.) Not only is their work exceptional, but they possess the impressive ability to transform the terrifying, dreadful experience of dental work into a completely pain-free, almost pleasant routine. Here, your teeth are absolutely made with and handled with love. My journey here began after I cracked my dental crown on a Trader Joe's Ridge Cut kettle chip (aka the hardest chip known to man), leaving me in desperate need of an emergency replacement. As a recent casualty of the tech layoffs in LA, I am currently navigating life without dental insurance. Crowns are notoriously expensive. When I discovered that my previous insured dentist was now wildly outside my price range, I started shopping around the LA area for a quality, affordable alternative. The more offices I called, the more a quick trip across the border to Tijuana for cheap dental work--as a friend suggested--started looking like a sane, viable option. Luckily, I was saved from figuring out those logistics when I stumbled upon Bello Dental in Montebello. Not only did they offer manageable pricing for out-of-pocket patients, but their stellar reviews across both Yelp and Google backed it up. From the start, booking was a breeze; the receptionist was kind, knowledgeable, and highly accommodating. The actual visit went just as smoothly, despite the fact that I arrived as a bumbling bundle of nerves. In fact, I was so anxious that I accidentally bit my poor dental hygienist's finger during the initial exam. I was mortified, but she was an absolute sweetheart about it, calmly explaining every step of the process and even reassuring me that the X-rays exposed me to no more radiation than stepping out into the sun. When it was time for the procedure, Dr. Erica injected the numbing agent and gently removed the remaining pieces of my cracked crown. She took a mold for the lab, and then crafted a temporary resin crown to protect the tooth in the meantime. Throughout the entire process, she was calm, patient, and thoroughly professional, constantly checking in to ensure I wasn't in any pain. She was incredibly meticulous about aligning the height of the temporary crown perfectly with my bite. You can tell she is a woman of precision who takes immense pride in her craft and her patients' comfort. I would honestly trust this team with my life--and I will certainly be trusting them with my teeth from now on.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE dentists. I have had 4 different dentists in the 4 years I've been in LA and…read morethey all were terrible and/or had hidden fees and charged outrageous amounts even with insurance, none of which they communicate beforehand. Every time I visited, I felt compelled to leave a great review (finally doing now) because the dentists at Bello Dental have been nothing short of amazing. Everyone there is super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they actually care about their patients. They take their time with you and never make you feel rushed. The prices are also far more reasonable than every other dentist I've been to. Dr. Vu's work is honestly amazing, especially on front tooth fillings. The level of detail and care he puts into his work is unreal. He really takes his time to make everything look natural and perfect. I almost never describe anything as perfection, but his work genuinely is. I'm seriously so happy I found Bello Dental. The whole staff is kind, professional, and easy to talk to. Plus, they have free parking, which is a huge bonus!

My hygienist, Johana, is the sweetest and has such a gentle touch. She always makes sure I'm comfortable and, most importantly, makes every visit as painless as possible. I also started my Invisalign journey here, and everything has gone smoothly so far. Even though I don't see Dr. D as often now, he's always been very intentional about making sure I leave happy and that my results are exactly where they should be. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and the outcome. I don't see him as much now which is actually a great sign because it means we've been able to maintain a healthy smile! Highly recommend!

I was referred to this office by a family member. Every experience I've had with Dr. Duong and his…read morefriendly staff have been nothing short of spectacular. They are very flexible with scheduling, transparent in the work that needs to be done, and extremely quick without feeling rushed. I was astounded by how quickly Dr. Duong gets the work done. My first procedure was to have a deep cleaning split into 2 separate sessions. He overestimated the time it would take (about 3-4 hours), but was done in 1. My teeth have never felt healthier! Highly recommend becoming a patient if you're stuck deciding!

She is welcoming and sends reminders via texts for appointments. Dr Duong is gentle and has never made me felt uncomfortable. If you are feeling anxious or hesitant about coming to a dentist, this is the place that will put your worries at ease. I highly recommend.

From the front desk team members, to the dental hygienists and all support staff, everyone is welcoming and friendly. Claudia Camacho, DDS is an awesome dentist! Great conversationalist, very professional and exudes the competence that translates into confidence you feel as soon as you sit in that chair, knowing that your dental work will be performed with excellence. Now, I can't say I "looked forward" to having a root canal done (who does??) but coming from years of bad experiences at dental offices, I'm glad to have had it taken care of at this location. Even the insurance coverage consultation was a very transparent, seamless and highly informative part of the visit; you'll see most of the negative reviews stem from insurance and billing related qualms, but this is where asking questions as a client is important: of course a dental office will push for doing more dental services that you might have expected - like a surgeon would push to do surgery or a psychiatrist would push to prescribe psychiatric medicine, it's their profession of course! Dental health is important for all of us, it's an investment in yourself, so go for that deep cleaning, for that root canal or any other care you need, and you'll thank yourself in the future that you got it done instead of waiting. I've walked out of this office with a new appreciation for my dental health, so absolutely consider this dually an expression of gratitude to the team here, and also a strong endorsement + full recommendation that you visit Dentists of Montebello!

I've been a patient here for years, and as someone who has always struggled with dental anxiety,…read morethis place has honestly been a game-changer for me. From the moment I walk in, I feel genuinely cared for. Abby at the front greets you warmly and has a way of putting you at ease before you even sit down. Dr. Shay and Sally have been my team and I truly couldn't ask for better. They're endlessly patient and kind, and you can just tell they actually care about you as a person, and you're not just an appointment on the schedule. The whole staff is like that (I just have worked more with Abby, Dr.Shay, and Sally). It's consistent and it's real and genuine. I've since moved further away and I happily make the hour-long commute every time, because there's no one else I'd trust with my care. I recently got an implant on one of my front teeth, which was the end of a long process that started with Invisalign and I'm beyond grateful I did all of it here. The results are everything I hoped for and more, but honestly what I'm most grateful for is the care and kindness I received every step of the way. I couldn't ask for more.

He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable during a very stressful situation. The clinical staff were also professional, kind, and attentive. Their level of care is outstanding. However, my experience with the billing department has been extremely disappointing. Angie, the billing manager, has shown a lack of follow‑through and knowledge regarding insurance eligibility and authorization procedures. I have been waiting since April 9th for an authorization, and I was told it would take 5 to 6 weeks, which I have never experienced with any dental provider. Despite having a broken and painful tooth, I have received no updates or communication from Angie, to this day. The quality of care from Dr. Shay and his team is excellent, but the administrative side -- particularly billing -- needs significant improvement to match the high standard of the clinical staff.
