I was a new patient of Dr. Cibel. I got a call the day of the appointment to confirm my appointment later that day. I appreciated the confirmation call. I went in for my checkup and semi-annual cleaning. Dr. Cibel did the cleaning herself! My teeth were so clean and felt so smooth after. I asked Dr. Cibel her professional opinion on water picks/glossers. She very openly and honestly said they help but should not be used as a replacement for traditional flossing. I appreciated her honest and open communication. I look forward to my next appointment and cleaning at Elevate Dental! read more

When I moved to LA years ago, one of the more disappointing aspects of life here is that too many dentists are like bad car repair shops. They'd rather sell you a cosmetic overhaul than fix a simple cavity. I had one dentist lie about the condition of my teeth and gums in an attempt to have me spend for completely unnecessary services. (I eagerly bolted.) My teeth and gums were and are good. They just begged for a real dentist who can do the things that dentists are supposed to do. When Dr. Safaei opened his practice on Ventura, I was one of his first patients and was relieved at his professionalism. He and his staff are wonderful. Oh, he departs from the stereotypical dentist office by often playing really good music, too. Boo to bad dentists. Elevate yourself. read more

So glad I found this place after seeing it on a friends instagram! I've been putting a dentist visit off for quite some time because it's hard to figure out who to trust and is personable while also being fairly priced. All of the staff are so friendly and the best thing about it is it's right down the street from me in Encino off Ventura! Plus Dr. Safaei has got some killer dance moves haha read more

I had the best experience with Dr. Cibel. She is knowledgeable, professional and very friendly. She took her time to explain me the treatment thoroughly, which gave me confidence in what she was doing. I highly recommend her!!!! Finally my teeth look great! :) read more

Omg, never thought I'd be writing THIS review, but I really enjoyed my dentist visit today. I had a HORRIBLE experience elsewhere last year (check out my review history if you're interested) so I was really dragging my feet on going back but I was overdue for a cleaning. I searched Yelp and found this place and it's right near my office! Scheduling was super easy- I called when they were out but they got back to me within a couple hours. I was able to make an appointment for the following week. When I arrived today I was anxious but was also hopeful given the positive reviews. The hygienist was really nice when she took my xrays. The doctor was very warm and friendly. He wasn't stuffy like some medical professionals can be. The xrays showed a cavity so he quoted me for a filling and he was able to do it right then. THIS was the part I was so nervous about. When he numbed me he only did two injection sites. In the past when I was only numbed this much, the dentist would start drilling and I would have to have them stop and give me more novocaine (or lidocaine, I can never remember----the numby stuff!) I was expecting the same twinge to happen, but it never did! He got me perfectly numb on the first try and it was so painless! I was in utter shock! I am so, so thankful I found this dentist. He and his support staff are really great and they made me feel totally comfortable and relaxed. What a relief!! I am glad that people like Dr. Safaei exist in the world - skilled AND compassionate. read more

Dr Cibel was very sweet, kind gentle and has a great touch. She fixed me up with care and painlessly and told me to come back for some other work that needs to be done before those teeth become a problem. I like that, preventive care. I'll be going back soon. I highly recommend Dr Cibel. read more

Elevate Dental was really as good as it gets. Dr. Safaei and his staff are very professional. Getting my teeth cleaned and doing regular check ups have kept my teeth sparkling clean. Also very reasonable pricing. One thing is you can sense that they care about their clients. And that really make a difference when you are apprehensive about going. Office is very clean and has a nice relaxing view of the green mountains which helps relax you :-) 5 stars for sure! read more

They have better prices than other offices. I needed retainers made after losing a set and so I called offices to see what the prices were. Elevate had by far better prices. They also made the process super easy. Go in, take molds, get retainer. Bam! The receptionist is super sweet too, love the customer service. read more

Convenient office. The staff is really nice and accommodating. The dentist is friendly and personable. Really down to earth and spent time to get to know me. He explained the advantages of different treatment options and gave his recommendations. I appreciated that they didn't charge for the consultation and after asking my questions I decided that the dental implant was my best option. I felt really comfortable and feel like I was in good hands. Oh and they have fun little books in the lobby. Wish I had more time cuz I barely had to wait! Lolol read more

Usually I hold off on going to the dentist until the damage is too severe to ignore. Dr. Safaei immediately makes you feel comfortable by telling a joke or story to relax you. Every time I come in we always laugh and laugh before he works on my teeth. It really helps offset whatever discomfort might be heading my way. But the Doctor doesn't just make you feel comfortable. He has helped change my smile for the better! We have created a specific plan to get my teeth back to the bright and shiny way they should be. I can not recommend Dr. Safaei enough. He is the Dentist for non-loving dentist people! read more

The best dentist in LA!!! Everybody in the office greets you with a smiling face, and treats you with respect. They are extremely thorough and easy to make appointments with. Beyond all of that, they take their time and make sure you're comfortable and calm before any cleaning or procedure. I am usually NOT a fan of dentist visits. The poking, the sounds, the pain, etc. But with a room full of people keeping the mood light, going at my pace, and making me feel comfortable, all the things I used to dread seem to go away. read more

By far the best dentist experience. Even got me a cake to surprise me for my birthday. Extremely professional and proficient. Going there soon to get bonding on my lower teeth. Very excited to go back :) read more

See all

By far the best dental experience I have ever had. Dr. Safaei makes you feel like a friend rather than a patient, makes all the jitters disappear! I never thought I would actually ENJOY a visit to the dentist!! read more

From the moment I walked into Dr. Safai's office I was all smiles! The energy was fantastic and upbeat, the staff was incredibly sweet and kind, and Dr. Safai was absolutely extraordinary and professional! (The office was immaculate too, btw.) I felt like such a VIP during my visit and felt so comfortable. Dr. Safai patiently answered all of my questions and I left feeling like I actually learned something new. I also left feeling like I made some new friends. Coolest dentist office EVER. Usually at other dentist offices that I've been to, I would get pretty nervous or uncomfortable getting my teeth cleaned- I always just wanted it to be over so I could leave. But Dr. Safai and his team made me feel like I was right at home to the point where I didn't want to leave. I will highly, HIGHLY recommend Dr. Safai of Elevate Dental Encino to all of my friends and family because I know he gives his whole heart to what he does. read more

Dr. Cibel was amazing! I had a dental emergency was able to repair it easily, quick and with zero pain. After the repair, she offered a cleaning and did the work herself. If you have never had a cleaning from such a highly rated doctor, I would highly recommend it. Best cleaning of my life! And she was so kind to my kid too. Thank you, Dr. Cibel! read more

So pleased with my crown! The entire process was about 5 months and it's been easy the entire time. The Doctor and his staff are professional and know what they're doing. They are accommodating and the work is fantastic. Highly recommend for any services you may need! read more

Dr. Cibel is very knowledgeable and detail oriented. She takes her time to diagnose and treat. She's very passionate and loves what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone who enjoys personalized and boutique type services and care. read more

This is perhaps the first dental office I've ACTUALLY enjoyed going to. No shenanigans with billing like my previous dentist (who were repeat offenders), no issues with scheduling, no problems with having unnecessary procedures pushed on me. My husband and I have been going here for a couple of years now, and we're not leaving anytime soon! read more

Everyone at Elevate Dental is so genuine. There is no dishonesty going on here like the other offices that try to pull a fast one. You can sense the honesty and integrity when talking to Dr. Safaei. There is a sense of virtue that is hard to find these days and I trust only him with my teeth! read more

Finally a dentist that actually puts your treatment and health first before profits. They explained to me why I DIDN'T need a deep cleaning and why a regular cleaning would be the right treatment. They could have done a deep cleaning and I wouldn't have questioned it because that't what another office told me but its nice to find a honest dentist. read more

Dr. Safaei was very professional with a great chairside manner. He is courteous, respectful, and proficient in his field. His confidence in his works instills great confidence in getting my treatment. I look for a practitioner that is confident in order to be able to treat me. read more

Best Dentist! From the start the staff is so welcoming and warm. The dentist is professional and fun and makes the process easy. Their knowledge of the difficult stuff like implants and veneers is what impressed me and made me comfortable knowing that the simple stuff would be a piece of cake. read more

I needed to get 2 implants. My dentist didn't do them, so he referred me to an oral surgeon he is aligned with. The surgeon was going to do his part and my dentist was going to handle everything he could do. The price quote seemed expensive and honestly, I just wanted to get everything done under the same roof, so I looked around. I found Elevate Dental thank goodness. The quote was much less expensive and Dr. Safaei handles everything. The price was all inclusive and nothing extra ever snuck-up on the bill. It was a complete VIP service from the beginning to the end. He also handled a problem with a root canal I was having. Got my teeth cleaned also after one of my visits. They do everything, why would I go anywhere else? I got a new Dentist now. I highly recommend Elevate Dental. read more

Good office. Its a dental office so, I'm not going to rave about it like its a...you know...a rave. They are professional and get the job done. I approve. read more

The best dentist I've ever been too! Don't get scammed in to unnecessary things other dentists will try to sell you on, Navid is genuine & incredible at his work. Cleaning was painless, and he told me exactly what I need to look out for and what I can remedy myself. Happy to have a new dentist I can trust! read more

Dr. Safaei is awesome. Great office and welcoming staff. Everybody there makes going to the dentist something to look forward to. I had a great time. When did you ever in your life fathom someone saying they had a good time at the dentist?! Well I did. Can't wait to go back. read more

Nice to go to an office with one dentist that can almost everything. After neglecting my teeth for years I needed some work and it was so much easier to do it all in one office instead of bouncing around. read more

I've never been a fan of coming to the dentist. I was a patient of the previous dentist that used to work in this office, Dr. Melnick, and I'm pretty sure I was his worst nightmare with how difficult and anxious I can be. But this dentist is totally different! Dr. Safaei is so nice and friendly and personable. He made my first visit there so easy. I laughed the whole time and wasn't nervous at all! The whole staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating and the office is clean and very up to date. I'm so glad I gave this dentist a chance! I'll definitely be a patient here for a long time. I would absolutely recommend this dentist to anyone! read more

I went in because I needed an implant after cracking a tooth. The atmosphere here is so much more relaxed than other offices. The staff is clearly happy to be there and the dentist is very down to earth. Their fees were lower than other places that the service was awesome! I just completed the entire implant process and the entire process from the surgery to the final crown was done by the same dentist which was super convenient for me. I am coming here for my regular checkups now and couldn't be happier about it. read more

They say that balance is the key to life. So I live by that motto in everything I do. I don't want to pay $500 for a dental implant. c'mon, let's be real what quality am I getting for that price?? I also don't want to pay $5000. Balance is key. I found Elevate Dental after reading all the yelp reviews and they checked out. They are an expert implant office and had the qualities I was looking for. Good staff, modern equipement, etc but most importantly, fair, professional, and balanced. read more

Initially I went to another dentist and quickly realized he wasn't the right fit for me. I went on yelp and found Dr. Safaei who had great reviews and for good reason! He immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed while also going through everything in great detail. My teeth are very sensitive and it was amazing how comfortable I was during treatment. Amazing experience across the board! Also on a side note Casandra at the front desk is beyond helpful and friendly! read more

Was referred here from a close friend, who gave the office high praises, and it very much lived up to the hype. Very satisfied with the services and will definitely plan on coming back. read more

One word AMAZING!!! First impressions: clean, nice ambiance, cordial staff, Punctual on calling me back to start the appointment. Dr. Safaei from the beginning had a great easy going personality and was very engaging in conversation. What I liked is he pointed out all my areas which needed attention, but explained how these areas got like this and how to prevent it from happening in the future. Overall I felt like the bar was raised from a dental profession standpoint. read more

As good as it gets. Great experience with both the staff and dentist. I almost forgot i was at the dentist. Painless, affordable, modern. Very pleased. read more

When I moved to LA, I was worried about finding a dentist. However, Dr. Safaei opened up this practice shortly after my move, and I happily signed up to be a patient of his again.
