Did you know that our mouths are the lifeline to our overall health? If left untreated the bacteria can eventually go into our blood stream...Google it:) So, don't be afraid to have your teeth cleaned and/or checked regularly! It will save you $$$$ and anxiety down the road of life, believe me! Sorry, I digress...My dentist referred me to this office for possible gum grafting. The minute I stepped inside I was greeted with a smile when I checked in. I did the "New Patient" paperwork online the week before so there was little wait time. I no sooner sat my little ishta down,(arse in Assyrian), they called me in. Marjorie, Dr. Sedler's assistant, was adorable and very helpful. Once Dr. Sedler came in they got right to work measuring my gums and checking all of my teeth. They worked together like lyrics to a song... Once they were finished Dr. Sedler explained what the numbers meant...The good news...My gums are okay. We will watch them periodically to make sure they do not get worse... Dr. Sedler was super nice and easy to talk to. If you need a periodontist then I would highly recommend coming here. *They also do cleanings... *Located in the BMO building next to the AFTRA-SAG Federal Credit Union on Riverside Drive...Between Pass Avenue & Hollywood Way ~ and that's all I have to say about that... read more

David Levine and Diana Sedler - At the door - Periodontists Near Me - Burbank, California

See all

I recently had gum recession surgery with Dr. Sedler, and I cannot recommend her enough. I was so nervous about the experience, but from start to finish, the entire experience exceeded my expectations (if that's even possible for a gum recession procedure!). She has a gift for communication -- she explained everything thoroughly so I always felt informed, while at the same time shielding me from unnecessary worry during the procedure. She talked me through the entire procedure in such a calm and reassuring way that I felt comfortable the whole time. Her assistant was equally wonderful -- so kind, attentive, and supportive throughout the process. Together, they made me feel genuinely cared for as a patient, not just another appointment. Sometimes it feels rare to find a doctor/dentist who has great technical skill and offers such compassion, and I feel truly grateful to have been in her care. If you're looking for a periodontist, I highly highly recommend Dr. Sedler and her team! read more

Dr Sedler and the dental team are very helpful. When I've gotten my cleanings here the service is always excellent and I actually like going to the dentist! Dr Sedler is very knowledgeable, caring, and takes her time to explain necessary treatment. I'd highly recommend this practice for any of your dental hygiene needs read more

I was referred to Dr Levine by my dentist, I called to make an appt and asked if they accepted my insurance. I was told yes, they do. I had a consult with Dr Levine, who is a kind man. They took pictures, told me how to brush my teeth properly and sent me on my way. I was scheduled for a follow up to see if my issue resolved when i got a bill for $186 I called the office twice asking about this charge to no avail. My insurance covered this issue at another specialist i went to I am livid that i was misled about my insurance coverage at their office. I would not have gone for a consult had i been told they did not accept my insurance read more

Today I met Dr. Sedler for the first time, I was very nervous about my visit. Within 5mn I felt so much at ease. Her presence, kindness and professionalism was beyond any expectation. She explained every steps, and answered all my questions with patience and understanding of my concerns. I can't say enough of her people skills. Her staff, especially Gina was as kind and as caring as Dr. Sedler. In their office it's very clear their priorities are the patients' care. As soon as I arrived in my car, I texted my dentist to thank him for recommending me Dr. Sedler. read more

Dr Levine & his staff are extraordinary.. Caring, Supportive, Warm and expert in the art of dentistry. You couldnt be in better hands..

Hello Yelpers! Is there anything worse that a periodontist (gum specialist) referral? Yes. An endodontist (root canal) referral. That is going to hurt. Back to the periodontist ... Dr. David Levine is a hit. Referred by my general dentist, Dr. Levine is a Delta Dental provider and, though many perio procedures are not covered by insurance, the Delta coverage is as good as it gets. Be prepared, though, for a jaw dropping co-pay. Of course, the jaw itself is saved, so it's a win. Can a guy this nice be this good? Yes. On the USC dental school faculty, Dr. Levine is a renowned periodontist of awesome skill. I needed two implants and the work is flawless. He's an extremely gentle dentist who will take as much time as necessary to explain everything that's going on; you will not find a better chair-side manner in this town. I alternate my teeth cleanings between the general dentist and Dr. Levine's office for maximum gum health (Delta pays for two cleanings per year). Friendly and accommodating office staff; tons of free parking on the neighborhood side streets. Fear the periodontist no longer. read more

Dr. Levine, his associates, assistants and front desk staff are superb! Thankfully, I only needed a small procedure to fix a receding gum on 1 tooth. It was a front top tooth. It honestly bothered me so much because it wasn't symmetrical. Don't brush too hard! That's what I did without knowing and over a period of time it got worse. Sure, my teeth aren't anywhere close to the regular patients that come through but I wanted and needed this fixed. I was referred to Dr. Levine from my Dentists (who are awesome too! DNA Dental Studio in Burbank) and everything about the procedure from beginning to end was professional. Sure, it was still a bit painful even with the local numbing and the sight of huge needles freaked me out lol! They offered to prescribe me Xanax for the day of the procedure to calm my anxiety but I turned it down. I simply didn't want more meds than necessary, it's just my personal preference. I followed through on a strict schedule with the prescribed mouth wash and other prescribed medications, ibuprofen when I needed it and ate only soft foods. Make sure you eat plenty of super steamed vegetables like broccoli and I suggest taking protein shakes because it's the nutritional foods that will help you heal quicker! The healing time with stitches was 2 weeks. After getting the stitches removed I still needed to be gentle with the area and give it more time to heal on its own. I was looking at it everyday because i was so paranoid of it not becoming symmetrical, but it ended up PERFECTLY!! Even my own sister and brother-in-law who are dentists couldn't tell I went through the procedure of a gum graft. I told them afterwards and they were shocked at how perfect it looked. I'm so happy with the results and I highly recommend Dr. Levine and his associates! They are all very professional! read more

This review is for Dr. Choe. I have had a few dental procedures like extractions and implants in my lifetime and it can cause anxiety, pain and fear not knowing what to expect. My experience with Dr. Choe was the best ever with minimal discomfort or pain and quick healing. The way he explained the procedure in detail before the procedure, his attention to detail and the gentle technique during extractions of multiple teeth was better that I ever experience before. I highly recommend Dr. Choe. read more

Dr. Levine and his staff are TOP NOTCH. I was referred to his office two years ago or so by my primary dentist Raymond Ricci, also a great guy, because they wanted to keep an eye on my gum recession. Well the day finally came and I needed to have gum graft surgery (March 22). I was very scared especially when I was told I would be awake for the procedure. I needn't have worried. Dr. Levine has a very gentle touch and the procedure was done before I knew it. Yes, the bit of sedative must have helped, but really. Not bad at all. I just had the stitches removed today (April 4) and while it's not fully healed yet, of course, I did not experience much pain. Mild discomfort but I was advised how to modify my diet, brush, etc. He says the healing is going well. Phew! I highly recommend Dr. Levine to you. read more

I was referred by my dentist to Dr. Diana Sedler, in Dr. Levine's office. My prior dentist had neglected to notice a cavity between a back tooth and the tooth next to it, which already had a crown. He extracted the back tooth and did a root canal and new crown on the other. It was horrible. I had severe swelling, bleeding, and it took 1 1 /2 years for the numbness in my lip to go away. Post procedure, I switched dentists. My new one told me that the crowned tooth was bad and needed to go. I was terrified. My dentist referred me to Dr. Sedler, and she is wonderful. She brought in an anesthesiologist for me, removed the bad tooth, and did a graft to fix the mess at the previously extracted tooth. That was yesterday. I have little to no paid, no swelling, no bleeding. I highly recommend her. read more

I was referred to Dr Levine's office by my current dentist Dr Chetty for an implant. First I have have to explain I'm seriously afraid of dentists, but I wasn't going to go without a tooth. My surgeon was Dr. Choe at this facility, he took the time to explain from start to finish what was going to transpire on my consultation. The staff and Dr. Choe, made me relaxed the day of my surgery I felt absolutely no pain. Took the antibiotics that was prescribed and the pain medication for that day, and the following day. By the 2nd day was good to return to my part time job and have since returned for my follow up appointment and everything looked great. Dr Choe and the staff are very professional and kind and I would hands down recommend this to everyone, especially for a formally skeptical and anxious dental customer. read more

Dr Levine's office used to be great but the last two times they canceled me and I don't live in Burbank I live far and I was already on my way they canceled me they called to confirm an appointment I didn't even have another appointment I don't know what's going on with that office they're really have been messing up even though Dr levine is good I'm dropping them and going to someone else read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Levine for 25+ years and counting. I started seeing Dr. Levine 25+ years ago to get my teeth cleaned as his hygienists do amazing deep cleaning. I went to Dr. Levine because he was conveniently located in Burbank near my employment at the studios nearby. His hygienists are professional, kind and friendly. They do amazing job on my teeth. I had a few family emergencies commencing in January 2018 which preoccupied my time for 14 months. During that time, I did not give my teeth the care they needed. I developed a few terrible cavities that required crowns and periodontal surgery. When my dentist informed me of such, there was no question that I would see Dr. Levine for the periodontal surgery. I knew that he was a the professor for periodontal surgery at USC School of Dentistry. He performed periodontal surgery one week ago. I am pleased to report that my surgery was a complete success. He was kind, friendly, good humored, concerned and PAINLESS! I am pleased to recommend Dr. Levine for anyone needing periodontal surgery and/or teeth cleaning. read more

I am and have been a patient of Dr. Levine for the past TWENTY years. Dr. Levine was recommended and qualified by Delta Dental. I was concerned about cost when I called Delta Dental and they assured me that everyone in their bank of Dentists abides by Delta's pricing expectations. Here is what my twenty-year experience has been with Dr. Levine and his team. DR. LEVINE'S WORK ETHIC: From the very first time I met Dr. Levine, there was something about his demeanor that communicated to me "I will take good care of you." Indeed, that's what he has done for me. Dr. Levine treats me with a high degree of professionalism. He takes the time to explain and reassure me of my periodontal needs. He answers my every question either at his office or telephonically. He listens carefully to my concerns, and offers his expertise. I have had four dental implants performed by Dr. Levine and the process that I went through for each was flawless. I am currently on my fifth (and hopefully last) dental implant and the surgery for it went just as flawlessly as the first four. Minimum pain or side-effects, if any. After the 5th implant surgery this past June 10th, I immediately went to have lunch and see a movie. The next day, I went to the Zoo all day! Another point about him that I sincerely appreciate is that he never recommends anything I do not need. For example, I have asked him if I could get rid of a bridge and replace it with an implant. His answer: "Let's wait. The bridge is very stable." He never "UP-SELLS" me on anything. He tells me what I need and I trust in his judgment, which has NEVER steered me wrong. When I come for my cleaning, he always comes in to check my mouth and to make sure everything is alright with me. I always enjoy our interaction. COST OF DENTAL WORK: As stated previously, cost was an issue for me. After all, who wants to pay more than they have to? So I appreciated learning from Delta Dental that the cost for all procedures by his office lived up to Delta Dental's standards. I have recommended Dr. Levine to various individuals who speak highly of him and his work and who have never complained about the cost. I have heard of horror stories about dental implant procedures and I am so happy and appreciative that I have NEVER had any problems with Dr. Levine's masterful work. OFFICE: His Dental Office is absolutely classy. Very clean and sterile. I have been to Dental Offices wherein you are literally in cubicles and you can see every person down the hall being treated. He has private rooms for each patient. His staff is very courteous, helpful, and accessible. When I call about anything, they see to my needs and answer all of my concerns. DENTAL HYGIENIST: Everyone in Dr. Levine's team of Hygienists are professionals. Some of them are even teachers at renowned Dental Hygiene schools. I have been seen by Virginia for all of these years, who is an incredible hygienist and like Dr. Levine, a consummate professional. Very thorough. I leave feeling I got my money's worth. I don't feel extended pain with her work. It is such an absolute pleasure to be cared by Virginia. In summary, Dr. Levine's work is at the cutting-edge of his discipline. He is a perfect gentleman with a very calm and humble demeanor. He and his staff are a genuine class act. I recommend them without reservation. By the way, I live 65 miles away from his office (one way) and I joyfully make the drive. He and his team are worth it! read more

Pleasant place Great doctor, caring and knowledgeable Strongly recommend to someone who wants an honest dentist read more

BEWARE!! This dental office tries to perform expensive dental procedures that aren't needed! One of the dentists tried convincing me to have him perform (and bill my insurance) for about $4,000+ worth of periodontal work that wasn't needed! First, to be fair, I was referred to Dr. Levine for an initial consultation, but since he had no openings for two months, I met instead with his associate Dr. Choe. I only needed some minor periodontal work done to prep my teeth for braces and invisiline trays. I wasted an hour of my time with Dr. Choe who was trying to "sell" me to do more involved periodontal work because he said my teeth would be healthier before the braces go on. My teeth were not in horrible shape as my general dentist already told me. I just needed a little deep cleaning and scraping before the braces. I only had one or two teeth with pockets measuring 5-6. After Dr. Choe finished meeting with me, their office manager Cathy came in to give me their proposed estimate. They wanted $4,000!! Obviously, I hit the roof. I asked her why so much? Her response was "well, it's a major procedure that involves cutting your gums and stitches." Huh?!! Not once during my consult with Dr. Choe did he say anything about cutting into my gums and needing stitches! Not once! So why the heck am I paying him for a consult when he didn't even thoroughly explain the whole procedure? The office manager is telling me instead? I told her flat out "no" and I was getting a second opinion, which I did from a wonderful periodontist located one floor below them, in suite 204. I'm not bashing Dr. Levine as a dentist because I didn't meet with him. He may be a great dentist. However, this is his practice and he has an associate in his office that's obviously trying to perform expensive dental services that are not needed. Sorry, the buck stops with him. Do yourself a favor, if you want an excellent periodontist who will be completely honest and not try to rob you blind with unnecessary, expensive dental work, go see Taylor Hoang DDS in suite 204 of this same building, 3808 W. Riverside Dr., Burbank, CA 91505. She is a wonderful and thorough dentist who took care of my needs for about a quarter of what Dr. Choe wanted to charge. And she confirmed that I didn't need my gums cut into and stitches, just deep cleaning and scraping. And she even did the work herself, not a technician. Everyone in her office is awesome. It took just two visits and a few weeks of healing, and now I have my braces. read more

Dr. Levine is a God of implant surgery. He was thorough, gentle and professional. His staff, especially, Maha, his assistant, are fantastic, as well. I can't imagine a better experience for anyone, anywhere. read more

I was referred to Dr. Levine from my general dentist. I had an outstanding experience at my appointment (and it wasn't because he gave me good news). His staff was attentive and helpful. Dr. Levine was professional, warm, engaging and highly competent. He has a quiet confidence that is palpable and reassuring. ' I am also a physician and Dr. Levine is what all doctors should be (though many of us fall short). I highly recommend him for any periodontal needs in the future. I will certainly be back. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Levine's for years and years. When I first came to him, my periodontal disease had already taken its toll on my gums and bone. Dr. Levine started me on cleanings every 3 months instead of 6 months, and the health of my mouth improved substantially (I also use a Sonicare toothbrush and floss). I put off having the recommended pocket reduction surgery until I lost a molar. Dr. Levine did an implant (it's perfect) and I agreed, finally, to the pocket reduction surgery because losing the molar freaked me out. My teeth are in terrific shape now, no bleeding with cleanings and my gums and teeth look clean and healthy. It is always a pleasure to visit the office; the staff is wonderful--professional and so efficient, and my dental hygienist, Virginia Lawrence, is possibly the best hygienist in the world. I highly recommend Dr. David Levine and his entire staff. read more

I can't believe I am writing my first Yelp! review for a Dentist rather than the best Chicken Parmigiana I ever ate, but seriously, this guy is a PRINCE! Dr. Levine understands that while investing in the health of your gums and teeth is crucial, no one REALLY wants to shell out thousands of dollars for dental work. To that end, he always gives me options for what is immediate and what is long-term work. My choice, ALWAYS. He is incredibly nice and never talks down to me...we approach my dental health as a team. Speaking of teams, his staff is incredible. Really efficient and always courteous. read more

I'm so grateful to have Dr. Levine and his office as my go-to dentist for implants. Despite the coronavirus causing shut-downs of medical offices, he managed to get me in as a patient before he closed his office. He and his staff are patient-centered and incredibly knowledegeable, thorough experts. I've never experienced pain in their procedures, and they keep patient anxiety down to a minimum. I highly recommend this office. read more

I was referred to Dr. Levine by my general dentist for deep cleaning and implants more than 10 years ago. I remember when I went in for my initial consultation, I was extremely nervous, but Dr. Levine, his hygienist, and staff made the experience so awesome for me. I had a million questions regarding the treatment; Dr. Levine took his time to ensure I understood the process. When I found out that my hygienist of 10 years started teaching full-time and she will no longer be there, I was very hesitant and nervous to try another hygienist. I was scheduled to see Liz and all I can say is that she simply is the BEST!!! Her knowledge, skill, and pleasant personality made me so comfortable as if I have been seeing her for a long time. She patiently reviewed all the tools I need to use to keep up my oral hygiene. She made sure that I feel comfortable during the treatment and gave me the BEST cleaning!!! Yes, you may have some discomfort and bleeding during the cleaning, because you are getting the best cleaning! If you are used to having your hygienist brush your teeth gently and complete the cleaning in 20 minutes, then this is not for you. You will realize in a few years when your gums start opening up and you get deep pockets everywhere (as I did). If your cleaning doesn't hurt a little bit, then it's not a cleaning. Now, my entire family sees Liz and we could not thank her and Dr. Levine enough for giving us the best care!!! read more

I love this place Rita is the best hygienist ever! Such a sweet personality. Dr Levine really knows how to take care of his patients ,I trust him 100%. Parking is the only problem but it's usually only about 2 dollars to park in the lot. read more

Dr Levine and his entire staff ate the best. They take time and explain every detail. I am so thankful I found him

Dr. Levine was fantastic! I had oral surgery yesterday and expected it to be difficult and painful however on the contrary it went smoothly and I am not in any pain just the normal dIscomfort after any surgery. He was very caring and actually called the day after also to check up on me. His assistant that assisted him was fantastic as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Levine and his staff. Thank you Dr. Levine, I'm a fan read more

Dr. Levine is terrific! I have not had much teeth work until the last year or so, and I needed an implant. Dr. Levine is careful, professional, and he talked me through every step of the procedure. His office is CLEAN, calming, and his staff is great. I hope I don't need to see him again, but if I need another implant, I will certainly see Dr. Levine! read more

BEWARE keep your hand on your wallet. Went to Levine with my own X-rays on a referral from my dentist. Was told by 2 people, the receptionists and the lady next to her who checks you out that there would be NO CHARGE for the initial meet and greet look see. Levine took a picture of my mouth with his personal camera and I might have been in his chair for 10 min.We agreed on a price for the implants. Employee Kathy refused the deal and raised my price by $200.00 or said they would'nt do it. I went to my regular dentist for a cleaning and was told Levine charged $122.00 for the initial meeting which drained my insurance funds.They took it all. I believe they would have taken more if SAG hadn't limited my funds to 1000.00 per year. BEWARE and get it in writing. read more

Dr. Levine and his staff are very friendly and extra accomodating. My hygienist was great, she put me at ease and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend Dr. David Levine's Office to my friends and family. =D read more

I am from Orange County and driving 60 miles round trip is very difficult in the LA traffic, but there is no dentist i'd rather go to than Dr. David Levine...He is a specialist in the field of implant surgery...Dr. Levine is truly an expert and I can't imagine having implants done by any one else...Needless to say, I was scared to have the process done...However, after my appointment with Dr. Levine, who was very calm and caring...My confidence in him was solidified by his knowledge and ability to make me, a true basket case, feel completely safe and secure...I now have four perfect implants with equally perfect bone grafts...amazing work with absolutely no complications...I would recommend Dr. Levine to my family, friends and anyone reading this review. Dr.David Levine is the Best... read more
