Probably the most pleasant experience at the dentist I've ever had. I've gotten deep cleanings, fillings and a crown replacement here. All of these procedures were painless and successful. I know that I'm in good hands with Dr. Caligiuri. He's gentle, accommodating and provides comprehensive care that I can trust. I just know he will do a good job, and he does - you will feel that trust as well. His staff are also incredibly caring and attentive. Not changing my dentist again unless I absolutely have to. Highly recommend Environdental! read more

I am leaving this review to warn other new patients to be cautious before agreeing to scaling and root planing/deep cleaning at this office. I came in as a new patient for an exam/cleaning on 6/18/2026. During periodontal charting, the probing was extremely forceful and painful throughout my mouth. I have had periodontal charting done for years at other offices, and it never hurt like this. The dentist repeatedly called out 5mm and 6mm pocket readings and told me I needed SRP/deep cleaning in all four quadrants. I was also told they would not perform a regular cleaning unless I agreed to SRP. I initially agreed because I was worried, but I became uncomfortable, withdrew consent, and left before treatment was performed. After reviewing my records, I became even more concerned. The office diagnosed generalized moderate chronic periodontitis and treatment-planned SRP in all four quadrants, but the periodontal chart from that same visit listed 0% plaque, 0% calculus, 0% bleeding, 0% suppuration, no mobility, no furcation involvement, and no clinical attachment level greater than or equal to 6mm. My prior and subsequent periodontal charts from other offices showed mostly 3mm/4mm readings with only localized higher readings in the back, including an area near a filling/contour issue that had previously been explained to me as making gum attachment more difficult. Based on my experience, I am concerned this office may be using aggressive probing and alarming pocket readings to push expensive deep cleanings on new patients. I have filed a complaint with the Dental Board of California. I strongly recommend getting your periodontal chart, X-rays, diagnosis, and treatment plan, and seeking a second opinion, before agreeing to SRP/deep cleaning here. read more

Highly recommend. The entire staff are so pleasant. Dentist made sure I was comfortable during whole procedure, made it an easy experience. Worked around my schedule and informed me regarding insurance coverage, very nice. Great work on my teeth as well. read more

I moved downtown earlier this year and needed to find a new dentist and am thrilled I found Dr. Caligiuri. I did a cleaning in April and another one in November and had excellent service for both. Dr. Caligiuri is so nice! He really takes time to speak with me and build rapport. As a new patient, my first visit was to meet with him so he could determine the proper course of treatment. Then I came back for my cleaning on a different day with a hygienist. Dr. Caligiuri did my cleaning at my most recent visit. I have never had a dentist actually do my cleaning before. Such service! Very friendly staff. Good location and close to the subway. The office is very clean and modern. This place practices eco friendly dentistry. They maintain a high quality of patient care while limiting consumption of earth's resources. For example, they use glass beverage and mouthwash cups, instead of paper. It's so nice to come out of cleaning and have a glass of mouthwash and a hot washcloth waiting. They really put thought into the details. I highly recommend Environdental read more

Definitely the best dentist in DTLA! Dr. Caligiuri is a true professional, and I am extremely satisfied with the services I get at Environdental! The office is really modern, and the staff is friendly! read more

I have visited several dentists in my lifetime, and Dr. Caligiuri's office is the only one that has truly alleviated my dental fears and trauma. There's something about Dr. Caligiuri's gentle technique that makes his dental work painless. His calm demeanor immediately puts me at ease, and his staff is equally fantastic. They are so meticulous with the teeth cleaning and compassionate with advising better care for great teeth. Everyone here is simply amazing!! Couldn't recommend this place enough. Wish I found them sooner. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Caligiuri, especially when it comes to cosmetic bonding. I chipped my front tooth years ago and had it bonded by a different dentist. Earlier this week, a small portion of the bonding chipped. Environdental fit me into their busy schedule on the same day, and I was able to get my tooth bonding repaired in less than 45 minutes! And it looks so good, better then it originally did - I honestly cannot tell that a fraction of my tooth is bonded! During the appointment, I felt comfortable asking Dr. Caligiuri questions and felt that he and his team were very transparent. I will definitely be back and happy to have found this dental office. read more

"Dental care is always scary and uncomfortable" is a thought that I once believed. One visit to Dr. Caliguiri's office changed that perspective! He has an incredible bedside manner, patiently explains everything in great detail and performs amazing work. While receiving a filling, I remember feeling as if I was experiencing an artist at work, meticulous about the details and also concerned with your comfort as the patient. The office staff is always welcoming and creates such a comforting experience as well. From the time you enter until the time you leave, you are receiving smiles and the best care available. I'd highly recommend for any dental care needs! read more

My father was a Dentist and to finally find another that is honest and great is such a relief! The office is clean and staff is wonderful!!!! I go for regular cleanings as well as had to get my first crown recently and the experience was excellent. read more

I moved from another dentist office to here on recommendation of a friend who had a generally good experience. This was exactly the kind of dentist I was looking for: more proactive about gum health / cavities without over-prescribing, and has a sense of continuity with treatment. +thorough deep cleaning! I also look for places that "seem" to do newer types of treatment / tools and this feels like the kind of organization that's more up to date. I've had to go in for a few things in a short amount of time, and waited to hold my judgment after a couple to see if they went smoothly. General pros: great doctor and staff, new clean office space, and they run their scheduling very professionally. read more

I couldn't be happier with Dr. Caligiuri. I found him through this site pre-pandemic and had planned to start the initial exam process to feel things out there at his office but I ended up going to the wrong office by mistake and didn't get to start anything going before we shut the city down in 2020. Needless to say, I kept him in mind and finally found the opportunity to walk in and set up an appointment with Luz. The initial exam was thorough and honest and addressed every single one of my questions. We laid out a game plan on my work needed and costs. I was impressed with how calm and clean an environment it is and the pretty cool mix of ambient music they have, but the staff is truly what makes this office special. Everyone is super professional and respectful as well as friendly and polite, but Dr. Caligiuri is in a dental league of his own. He's great to converse with and he's clearly an expert in his field. I hadn't been to a dentist in a scary amount of years and in already having had half my mouth cleaned, this man has meticulously taken years off with minimal discomfort and given me a whole new look and feel and I still can't believe. I feel really clean and healthy and I have instruction from him on how to maintain it. He's just so sweet and awesome a person. I mean this. I feel lucky to have found Dr. Caligiuri's office. I would recommend anyone. As a cash patient, it is pretty expensive, but I'm working with years of neglect and his work is worth every penny to me. I plan to stay as long as I can with him. It's a great fit for me personally. read more

This is hard to write. The staff is very friendly and kind but my teeth were damaged here. The doctor filed some of my teeth very aggressively in preparation for Invisalign, the giant space he created never closed properly even after Invisalign treatment ended, and as a result one tooth was so severely damaged that I am on my way this morning to get my first ever dental crown at another dentist. I was generally satisfied until I went to a new dentist after moving away and discovered my teeth had been quite damaged by overaggressive filing and multiple large fillings. I am really disappointed my tooth was damaged so much it requires a crown now. My husband claims his fillings from this office are still uncomfortable over a year and a half later after several attempts to adjust them. Just ultimately not a good experience for either of us unfortunately. I found the staff very friendly and personable, the office is convenient, comfortable, and clean, but I am very unhappy that my teeth ended up damaged. read more

If you want an honest dentist who cares about preserving as much of your original teeth as possible, Dr. Caligiuri at Environdental is the perfect person to go to! His philosophy is simple: to keep your teeth healthy with minimal invasive procedures, that's good for you and also good for planet Earth. This symbiotic mission is something me and my wife respect greatly about Dr. Caligiuri, as his goal to simply make a treatment plan necessary to keep your natural teeth as long lasting as possible. Dr. Caligiuri's environmentally friendly clinic is also revolutionary, his care and attention to detail for the patients is truly an impressive experience that makes keeping your regular checkups and keeping your teeth healthy a breeze and something look forward to! Thanks so much Dr. Caligiuri, and also his awesome assistants, Luz and Wendy for the care. Happy teeth, happy patients! read more

Environdental - Dr. Caligiuri is the best in town! - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Greatest dentist everrrrrr! Honestly, Dr. C is my man! He hooked up my smile and really always has a friendly demeanor and super knowledgeable. Everyone should come here because he's the most professional and cool dentist. Hey, he even did my deep cleaning after I had my morning coffee. If that's not dedication I don't know what is. *swoon* read more

Dr. Caligiuri is da bomb! I had to get a filling on one of my teeth and I had Invisalign at the time. He made sure that everything fit perfectly and got it exact! He even said I could come back if there was any problem. But he did it perfectly the first time! I wish I still lived in Los Angeles so I could go here for my cleanings and check-ups, but I moved away. I highly recommend Envirnodental! read more

I LOVE environdental. I have been going here since 2018 I think and even after moving to Orange County and trying other dentists, I come back because Dr. Caligiuri is the only dentist I trust (With his minimally invasive approach, I swear he's the only one who isn't trying to scam you into unnecessary treatments)! The atmosphere in the office is very light and puts you at ease. I've never been so comfortable in a dentist office! Dr. Caligiuri and his team are truly compassionate. I appreciate how they listen, educate, and provide treatment. Luz, the office manager, keeps everything running smoothly and is easy to communicate with. I recently had the hygienist do my cleaning (previously it was always Dr. Caligiuri himself) and I absolutely LOVED her! She was personable, funny, and educational - I learn so much from her and felt very comforted. I know many people who go to Environdental and everyone loves it. read more

They are one of the best dental offices in LA. You won't have a problem parking wise because they have a valet for free! You can call the front desk to help you find the parking and they are more than welcome to assist you. Their staffs are nice, professional and clean. When you enter their office, you can smell the aromas. Their equipments are always sterilized. Their dental chairs are comfortable. What I like the most is he explains thoroughly (the dentist), and he take his time to check on you. I called them during COVID for my mom's condition and he thoroughly examine my mom via a video call. He made sure my mom had a good evaluation and outcome. He refereed my mom to a very good specialist. Overall, we are very satisfied! read more

Dr. Caligiuri and his staff are professional, thoughtful, and very personable. He balances being informative about your options for care and putting a smile on your face. I have had a few emergencies over the three years I have been a patient and his office was very responsive in helping to get me scheduled each time. I always feel like he puts me in the best position to make my own decisions about my dental care. As another poster noted, even simple, routine cleanings are thorough and well-done. Strong recommend. read more

Clean, friendly and efficient service. Dr. Caligiuri is kind, professional and pleasant to be around as he's performing work on your teeth. Probably the most thorough cleanings I have ever had are here. I actually look forward to coming here for my regular check-ups and cleanings. Great find in DTLA! read more

I've had some traumatic experiences at the dentist so I'm naturally apprehensive when I need a cleaning or dental work. Dr Caligiuri is very calming and incredibly accommodating to subside my anxiety I won't go anywhere else for my dental needs . Additionally, Luz is a huge asset to this office , she's incredibly engaging and helpful by always working you into your ideal appointment dates and times when possible . I was a regular patient at Dr Mungcal's Downtown Dental but was completely put off by the hard sell and exorbitant pricing . Environdental is very forthcoming and doesn't recommend anything you don't need. read more

The doctor and his staff and friendly and professional. Came in for a cleaning and check up and the doctor found a loose crown and a small cavity. He explained everything and showed me the X-rays and I felt well informed. Unlike a lot of other places, I did not feel like he was upsetting me. Last week I had the filling and the office was on time, it was painless, and I was out within the hour. Love this place. read more

Talk about going above and beyond! Dr. Caligiuri is so professional, polite, kind and absolutely the best Dentist ever, and Luz is so sweet, kind and helpful. I had a dental emergency a few weeks ago. on a Sunday, and I called the office over the weekend to leave a voicmail to have the office call me when they're back in to schedule an appointment asap to get my broken crown repaired. Within an hour from leaving my voicemail, I received a call from Dr Caligiuri, (on the Sunday, his day off.). He then suggested and offered to meet me at his office that Sunday afternoon, to put a temporary crown on until we could get a new crown ordered. I am so happy I found Environdental when I moved in DTLA a couple of years ago, and it's so conveniently located near my loft on Olive near 8th Street. The "above and beyond" excellent service and brilliant dental work, I have received over the last couple years is truly amazing, and I am forever grateful! read more

Dr. Caligiuri is an absolutely phenomenal dentist. His office is extremely well run, all of the staff is wonderful, and they provide exceptional care. They are not at this office every day and they have some weekend and evening hours which are very convenient. If you're looking for a dentist you should definitely go to Environdental! read more

I can't even begin to tell you how pleased I am with my overall experience with this place. Started with emailing an online inquiry, on the weekend of all days, and they responded immediately. I let them know prior that I was pregnant and they explained how they would do x-rays by making sure they doubled up on the protective gear over my belly. Before my appointment they sent plenty of reminders so I wouldn't forget. Day of appointment they were able to see me earlier than I was scheduled and said that I can come in if I like or keep the same time I was scheduled for. I said yes I would be right there (since I live across the street). It was just nice to be given the option and no pressure if not. Then when I arrived they greeted me with my name and I had never even been there yet! This was literally the first dentist I had ever been to that I didn't have to wait at least 15 minutes to be seen. So after immediately being shown back they prepped me for the X-rays and then the dr came back and started the exam. He was so thorough and explained everything he was doing so I understood. Then he was able to do my cleaning directly after. When I was done I went to the front again to schedule a follow up and then ended up making an appointment for my husband on a Saturday which is great since he works during the week. Already referred a friend and told my fam how pleased I was. Can't wait to go back! :) read more

Dr. Caligiuri is a very caring man. Always pleasant, the entire nursing staff is amazing as well up to the nice lady at the front desk!

If you're looking for a dentist, Downtown or otherwise, just do yourself a favor and go to Environdental. You will not regret it, I promise you. It's worth whatever travel or parking hassles you may need to go through to get there. If you live or work within walking distance, then you have no excuse. I went here for the first time knowing nothing about the place; they're close to my apartment and they were in my provider's network. I'm now convinced I can never go anywhere else. Dr. Caliguiri and Luz are two of the most warm and welcoming people I've encountered in any healthcare environment. The office is clean, modern, and inviting. There's espresso in the lobby (!!!). After each appointment, they offer a warm towel and mouthwash to freshen up before you leave. Luz had researched my insurance and knew what was covered before I even arrived (it was all covered except one copay). I just can't speak highly enough about the whole experience - and all this coming from a guy who typically despises going to the dentist. As for Dr. Caliguiri, I'm glad he's a relatively young guy, because I'll be visiting him for decades, and recommending everyone else I know to do the same thing. He's very knowledgeable, but explains everything in understandable terms. Before my first appointment, he sat down and chatted with me for 10 minutes, not just learning my dental history, but also getting to know me and letting me get to know him. His bedside manor is second to none, as is the work he does. So if you're looking for a new dentist (and since you're reading this, I'll assume you are), please just save yourself the trouble and go to Dr. Caliguiri and Environdental. Even if you're like me and you resent going to the dentist, this place is great enough not just to make it tolerable, but actually enjoyable. read more

I'm writing this review because before I found Environdental, I had disliked all of my dentists and had a perpetual fear of visiting dental practices! Dr. Caligiuri is really nice, professional and non-judgemental. He explains procedures clearly beforehand, and unlike previous dentists I have had, never makes me feel like he is suggesting unnecessary work. His calm demeanor puts me at ease as he works gently but meticulously on my teeth. I would also say that I feel less pain that with previous dentists. Luz is also really lovely and friendly, and I love the reminders she sends for my appointments. I also really appreciate the mouthwash and the hot towel at the end of each appointment. The interior of Environmental is spotlessly clean, peaceful, and beautifully designed. I have never had to wait more than a couple of minutes in the waiting room, and usually walk straight in! I recommend this practice to all of my friends in need of a dentist! read more

I am beyond grateful for having found Dr. Caligiuri. He is caring, patient, incredibly knowledgeable and an absolute professional. He is transparent and explains everything in great detail. During the initial consult he went through all my X-Rays and told me his concerns, what things I should keep an eye on and what things I shouldn't worry about. He didn't try to sell me products or unnecessary procedures. When Dr. Caligiuri began working on my teeth, I appreciated his chair side manner, dedication to his art, passion for precision and perfection that guaranteed my dental needs would be well met, from cavities to crowns, with meticulous attention to detail and innovation. As for his staff, they too are amazing. Luz was kind and courteous and ever so accommodating with scheduling. Bottom line: For those who have busy work schedules Environdental offers evening hours and Saturday appointments! Oh and they are located conveniently in DTLA (near Whole Foods). read more

I had a very good experience with this dentist today; very thorough cleaning. Welcome Environdental downtown with your patronage. read more

Best dentist I've ever been to. Not only does he take great care to make sure that procedures are as comfortable as possible, but his work is fantastic as well. Every time I've had work done I've been 100% satisfied. I've never thought that something different could have been done or that more could've been ground off, etc. it's always been perfect. This guy is the best. I highly recommend him. I'll continue seeing him no matter where I live or work. read more

NEW PATIENT Scheduling an appointment was easy. When I walked in - the lovely Luz greeted me - she shot my x-rays & then Dr. Caligiuri took his time consulting with me. He is a professional dental genius - gentle yet thorough. I'm beyond thrilled! This is a clean and efficient practice. Thank you Dr C and Luz! read more

Staffs are really professional. Dr. Caligiuri is really pleasant to be around and very personable. I had my crown done and it fell off, I called the dentist and he right away call me back and made a special trip to his office on the weekend to fix it. I will not hesitate to recommend him to everyone! read more

Unfortunately didn't get past the reception. The scope of information this office requires, even when you pay from your own pocket, is outrageous. Each patient should understand what they do with their information and how is it being helpful in their treatment. read more

After an 8 year gap of not visiting a dentist, Dr. Caliguiri made me not dread the experience. Their space is incredibly clean and modern... and they always play great music through the sound system. This all helps sitting in the chair while you have your teeth worked on that much more palatable. Dr. C himself is incredibly personable and professional. I'm happy to swing by every six months for a cleaning. Would highly recommend Environdental to anyone looking for a more enjoyable experience at the dentist. read more

I really like that Dr. Caligiuri practices environmentally friendly methods and that was the deciding factor when I choose this dentist in DTLA. Bonus is that he makes each visit professional but also super easy because of his great personality. Anyone looking for a dentist in downtown Los Angeles should definitely check him out! read more

There fast and very nice and the staff is amazing and funny and fun they make ur day way better if u have a bad day they make it better with their positive attitudes especially when ur getting ur teeth done you'll enjoy ur time there. read more

Today I had my second appointment with Dr. Caligiuri at Environdental. My last appointment I had an intensely, deep cleaning as I was going to be having a root canal within the next two weeks. Dr. Caligiuri was very gentle and the cleaning was not uncomfortable for a moment. Regular teeth cleanings are usually painful and this one was a deep cleaning. It was the best cleaning experience I have ever had. I was surprised that the dentist himself performed the cleaning. That impressed me and told me a lot about the way he feels about making sure his patients receive the best care. He is thorough and has a great personality, he is welcoming and friendly, and you feel like you trust him immediately. And you should because today I went for a root canal that I knew I needed for the past year and a half, but put off until now. He was able to fill it without giving me a root canal. He placed a protective layer over my root, fully cleaned the tooth and then filled it. It was my very back tooth on the top, which is considered a molar, even if you've had your wisdom teeth removed like I have. The whole process took less than a half an hour, if you can believe that. During my initial exam when I had x-rays and they showed that I would definitely need the root canal, just as another dentist had told me over a year ago, Dr. Caligiuri went the extra mile by doing a cold test on the tooth and surrounding teeth and he immediately knew he could save me from the root canal based on my responses to the cold test. He had to do some drilling today to find out whether or not my root was completely exposed or not, but he was right. The last two dentists at another dentistry both agreed there was no way around a root canal, but this doctor had a feeling he could save me the discomfort and expense of a root canal. He was right and it was a great experience. Like I said, he was quick and thorough- a rare combination. The rest of the staff at Environdental are the nicest people too. They are genuine and kind and made the whole experience of going to the dentist a pleasure as opposed to what it usually is...going to the dentist. There is no question that this is the best dental practice in the greater Los Angeles area. read more

Fantastic experience. Dr. Caligiuri is patient, empathetic, and happy to answer any and all questions. I was dissatisfied with my previous dentist, so I came here after a friend highly recommended I make an appointment with him. I was worried about the procedure I needed, but Dr. Caligiuri was kind, efficient, and explained everything to me before he started. The procedure was as comfortable as it could have been, and I left happy with the whole experience. Luz is also very warm, friendly, and enjoyable to talk to. Both of them have exceptional bedside manners and are truly excellent at what they do. The office itself is beautiful, with complimentary coffee and tea, and after each visit you get a hot towel, mouthwash, and chapstick. Parking can be a little tricky in the neighborhood, but it's absolutely worth it for the quality of the experience. I'll definitely be coming back here in future! I'm so glad I found a dentist I like in Los Angeles. If you're looking for a new dentist (or want to switch dentists), you can't do better than this. read more

I absolutely love my new dentist! Dr. Caligiuri is very friendly, knowledgeable and honest. I arrived for my first appointment and he made sure to answer all of my questions. His staff was also very friendly and thoroughly explained the prices for my work that needed to be done. Parking is validated, which is always nice in DTLA and is located just around the block on 737 S. Hill St. You can also cut through the parking lots to get to his office without having to walk all the way around the block. I would definitely recommend Dr. Caligiuri to all of my friends! read more

This is by far the best experience I've ever had at the dentist's. Dr. Caligiuri is incredibly warm, patient, and personable. His desire and passion to practice environmentally friendly dentistry really shines through in every aspect of the office layout and the visit -- everything is "just right," and there's never "too much" whether in terms of rinses, instrument noise (actually quietest and most gentle of anywhere I've been), to the perfect amount of soap coming out the dispenser at the bathroom. There's something so elegant about utilizing only what is necessary to get the job done -- and it makes for a clean and very positive experience. I will definitely be back, and absolutely recommend Dr. Caligiuri and Environdental to anyone looking for a wonderful dentist and office. read more
