I had a whole childhood of traumatic dentist experiences that caused some serious adult rebellion…read moreof me sticking it to the man by just not going to the dentist for a decade in my 20s. I eventually paid the piper for that one, and since that time, I've realized that the key to me not avoiding the dentist and taking care of my teeth the way I know I should is finding a person that intuitively adheres to trauma-informed principles of care: respects/believes patients, explains what they're going to do and when, communicates safety clearly, etc. I had a great dentist in NYC and then COVID happened and then we moved to NJ and yeah, I've been delaying finding a new dentist for, um, mumblesfouryearscough. I knew it was time to establish care here and I knew a whole boatload of 5 star Yelp reviews wouldn't lie. First off, my intake paperwork asked me what I was looking for / what was most important to me in a dentist. Then it asked if there was any accommodation I might need to feel more comfortable. Then it asked my anxiety level on a scale of 1-10. No one has ever asked me this before. On the day of my visit, having given this much thought, I decided to let my freak flag fly and asked my hygienist if I could just keep the xray apron on for my whole cleaning. If she batted an eyelash, I didn't notice, and me and my weighted blanket snuggled in for an excellent polish. Well, it turns out I had a cavity. Made an appointment to go back to have it filled. Considered asking for an Rx for a single valium, but decided against it. I was brought into a room that seemed to date to a revolutionary war time period visually, but with modern technology. THE CHAIR MASSAGED ME. Dr. Kim explained what he was going to do, showing me my xray once more, numbed me up, removed my old filling and fixed up my cavity in like, 6 minutes. I don't know if it was the ambiance of the room, the chair massage, Dr. Kim's evident competence, or the acoustic Bruno Mars song playing, but I did not feel I had been locked out of heaven. To the contrary, this was an excellent experience. If you are afraid of the dentist, this is the place for you.

I had been going to this dentistry for the entirety of my teenage and adult years, moved out of state two years ago but hadn't decided on a new dentist yet so when visiting family almost a year ago, early spring time 2025 I booked back to back days, one for cleaning + X-rays the next for any cavities that may need to be handled. I came in first day for cleaning got that all done. Found cavities okay cool come in the next day to get them filled. Nope they tell me that day was booked for me for a second cleaning or something? Tell me to come back in a week or two which is obviously not easily possible as I live a 5 hour plane flight away now. I book a trip for a few months later in June and booked for all 3 cavities to be done with them. I come in and this time I'm seen by the woman doctor, can't remember her name. Too annoyed to look it up now. She tells me she doesn't have time for all three which is kinda insane because I booked for this you know months ago. She tells me she'll do 2 and I can come back in a few days for the other one. I tell her no girlboss I'm getting on a plane tomorrow morning and you guys were supposed to do this months ago. She begins the cavities, drills down, literally leaves the room for 30-45+ mins and I'm just there with my mouth open for a long time. She seems extremely distracted and rushed. She "finishes" the cavities and I'm sent out. Essentially because she was rushing so much she did not properly scoop out the entire cavity and covered it so it continued to rot and infect downwards to my nerves. My mouth hurts so much. It doesn't stop hurting. I call two weeks later asking why one specific tooth hurts so bad and they just tell me my gums are irritated and I'll be fine. I've broken bones, had surgeries, dealt with pain before but this was different. This was debilitating to the point of not being able to move or speak. Soon after I go on vacation to some islands. Snorkeling, going on planes frequently, my tooth is in insane pain I can't even open my mouth to breathe the air hurts my tooth. Imagine spending thousands for a nice vacation and not even being able to eat ice cream and waking up every single day in terrible pain. I return home and immediately see a dentist in the town I now live in and they do X-rays, tell me I need a root canal. This is in August 2025 at this point. I get it done, flash forward to late February 2026 and I still cannot eat on the right side of my mouth. The tooth will not calm down and I'm told there's likely small fractures in the tooth that can't be picked up on X-ray and I have to go to a specialist and probably need it removed and an implant now. So if you truly care about your health and want your teeth to stay in your skull and not wastes thousands of dollars, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Dr Latempa and his hygienists were very thorough. I didn't have any complaints. I always had a good feeling after my dental visit. That is why we never missed any of our appointments. I highly recommend this clinic. They deserve 10 stars. The only reason we had to find a new dentist is because we moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles, CA in late 2016. It is 2019 now. 3 years have past..2016-2019, we are on our 4th dentist. Unfortunately, it is tough to find a dental clinic as good as Dr Latempa's clinic. Hopefully, the current dentist we have now is the one who could match Dr Latempa. I have been wanting to write this review as my way of thanking him, Jennifer and Victoria. Thank you.

The office has its own parking lot (and plenty of street parking if the spaces are taken), is very clean/tidy, and has the perfect staff. From walking in and being greeted by Christine, the atmosphere was already very positive. She was sweet, informative, and very polite. Dr Sandler is nothing short of amazing. He's very patient, listens to your concerns, answers all your questions, and is very thorough. He's humorous and makes what can be an extremely unpleasant experience very pleasant. He's very tech-forward, so be prepared to see some cool tools you've probably never seen before. Definitely glad I came across his office and will surely be referring others here to see him. Maria is awesome! She helped me take x-rays and gave me a great cleaning. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process and even went above and beyond to make sure I liked the music playing in the room. Super sweet. Offices need more employees like her around. Between the amazing service provided by Dr. Sandler, Maria, and Christine, I almost felt like I went to the spa instead of the dentist, lol. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you!

What really ruined me on this place was that I requested my fillings be done with silver amalgam as is my preference. They only do composite resin here, which is fine. They can operate in any way they please. However the receptionist then gave me a long lecture on how composite resin will poison me with heavy mental toxicity and is extremely dangerous. That's just misinformation (as per the AMA: http://www.ada.org/en/about-the-ada/ada-positions-policies-and-statements/statement-on-dental-amalgam). I cannot abide any medical organization spreading misinformation!! It makes me wonder what the motive is....considering composite resin is more expensive.

As far as the dentist goes, he seems nice although it's like dealing with a car salesman as he tries to get you to change anything possible esthetically... whitening services, braces you name it. Not the way to do business.
