Dr De Czito, doesn't try to upsell you. He is straight forward. He does the cleanings himself so you doesn't have to guess or wait if something is out of order in your mouth. read more

Toth read more

I absolutely don't recommend. They will try to get over on you and have you pay a ridiculous amount of money for a procedure before billing your insurance. I visited them once and called them out on their unprofessional service. I wasn't argumentative or combative, but they refused to help me with my crown just for asking them to bill my insurance instead of me first . Oh and Karen in the front has poor communication skills and is fragile so just a heads up before wasting money to get helped by them . Shoutout to Karen for being such a Karen and getting this review . Be blessed read more

Absolutely impossible to get an appointment. I've called about a dozen times because I'm desperate to get in this month and no one answers the phone or returns messages. Makes me wonder if this place is even still in business? read more

I want to sing loudly the praises for Frank DeCzito, D.D.S. He has years of professional expertise, a caring & calming manner, his integrity & practice principals are of the highest standards. The fee's for his professional care are very reasonable. All of the above in essence, are the cornerstone requirements for a good professional / patient trusting relationship! The office is warm, very clean and comfortable. Maria, is beyond understanding, a true delight , friendly and is a huge plus in the practice. I worked in medical care most of my life & perhaps look at professional services with a magnifying glass. I am happy to report Dr. DeCzito & Maria have surpassed all of my expectations, I have been a returning patient over the years. read more

Frank is the BEST dentist.! Caring and gentle. Had a good experience over the years going to his practice. He takes his time to explain everything and a fairly painless experience with a tooth extraction. Going to the dentist is never a " looking forward" experience, but myself living 2 1/2 hours from his practice it is worth the drive. I can be nothing but grateful knowing him and his willing to help me with my dental issues. read more

I am super happy to found Frank De Czito , my friend recommended him he is great and affordable. Easy to make an appointment. I am very happy with his work , very friendly also the front desk Lady too . Great location and clean place. Very modern equipments . Thank You again. read more

This office never let's me down! It is a short wait in the waiting room, while Maria clarifies any paper work. The DDS is kind and gets down to business quickly. I am a chicken when it comes to working on my teeth. DDS De Czito is quite aware of this and talks me through any sensitive areas. I am in and out with shiny teeth before I know it! You guys rock! See ya in 3 months! read more

I've gone to Dr. DeCzito since 2004 and have always been happy with him--for all the reasons in the reviews below (fast, efficient, etc.) but I got a rude shock when I went Monday and asked if he'd been vaccinated. He said No, he wouldn't until the vaccines had full FDA approval. read more

Dr De Czito's crown went bad, causing the tooth to be infected and be extracted. After Czito did my crown, I could see there was a strange depression on the crown along the gum line. You would think this would allow food particles to go below the gum line. I asked about it and Czito said it was normal and not to worry. Fast forward several years, not only am I told the crown is bad, but the tooth needs to be extracted. read more

I went to copy Dr. De Czito's info for a co-worker when I see he doesn't have a Yelp review from me. It then dawned on me that I've been going to him since before Yelp existed. I found a review I did on a pre-Yelp site, from many years ago. Here it is, and it's still all true: My dentist of 30 years died and I went through 3 other dentists before finding Dr. De Czito. I was originally referred to him by another dentist to fix a crown, and he did excellent work. After another two years of over-priced, substandard work elsewhere, I called Dr. De Czito for a referral to a general dentist. When he told me he also did general dentistry, I was so relieved!!! I wish I had thought to call him sooner. :( Highly recommend if you are looking for a quality, honest dentist. read more

Dr. De Czito is excellent in every way: first class efficient, confident, fast, and friendly, with a wonderful receptionist.

i've been coming here for i don't know how many years now? but just got back from a teeth cleaning, which i had put off for long time (partially my fault, partially covid lockdown)! so of course i was nervous going in, thinking about covid health/safety, and all the extra work he'd have to do for lack of regular cleanings! but got there, and felt safe with protocol. and the cleaning was pretty much quick and painless!? i mean, it usually is, but for some reason i always create this drama in my head before i go in, lol! and i just love dr. de czito and maria...they are the sweetest people, always a pleasure read more

I've been going to Dr. De Czito for over 10 yrs now except for a brief time when I thought I'd try someone closer to home (see my other review) and regretted it badly. Anyhow, Dr. De Czito may not be the most hip charismatic conversationalist and his office is tiny, but he is a good guy and a very good dentist which is all that matters to me. He's on the quiet side and very kind. Most importantly, he's not a crook like a lot of dentists seem to be out there. I've had generally decent oral health but a few times when I did have problems, he saw me right away, offered different options, helped me find the most economical way to take care of it and never pressured me to do anything unecessary. In fact, being the product of our vain culture myself, I've often asked him if I should do this or that cosmetically, which he can do, but each time, he would just say that he'd be glad to it but that he really did not think that I needed any such procedures and that human teeth were not meant to look like perfectly white piano keys. How refreshing is that?! one time, I chipped my tooth and I wasn't in pain but when I called his office, he had me rush in between appointments to avoid any potential of pain and then did an amazing job recreating just the part that chipped. It's been close to 8 or 9 years now since that happened and there is no way you can tell that anything had happened to my teeth. In fact, I've even forgotten which part and which tooth it was because everything looks totally natural. A good friend of mine got scammed by a dentist and forked over a lot of money for an unnecessary gum treatment and I told him to go to Dr .De czito. He didn't listen because he was too lazy or whatever to make the change and just got scammed again by the same dentist! Now he swears he'll go to Dr. DeCzito from now on but I wish he had listened to me sooner. read more

I wish they had 10 On Yelp He's amazing I went to a dentist in the marina and one in Santa Monica who even sent me to an oral surgeon-and they could not do what Dr Cizito did in under 30 minutes I had a broken crown on an implant and these other dentists gave me a run around and didn't seem to have the confidence to know what they were doing I'm so thrilled that this wonderful dentist was able to help me And he's very pleasant and his receptionist is as well I suggest you go here before trying any dentist in Los Angeles!!! read more

I recently switched to Dr. De Czito because he takes my insurance and is walking distance to my apartment. I really lucked out. He is very friendly, extremely skilled and experienced. I had a root canal and he got me through it like a champ. If you are looking for a dentist in Santa Monica, I can recommend Dr. De Czito without any reservations. The office is clean and modern, and Maria at the front is super helpful. read more

Going to the dentist is never really a fun experience. in fact when I was little I threatened to open the car door on the way to one of my dental checkups. Dr.DeCzito is a wonderful, caring, and compassionate dentist. He is personable and enjoys talking to his patients. He may be a little more aggressive in his teeth cleaning but I have never found it "painful" (and I am a HUGE wimp). He is reasonably priced, conservative in his approach, and has no BS. I think this no BS-nonsense attitude is what may be throwing off some other reviewers but I think it's just a cultural difference as the dentist did not grow up here. Personally, I found it refreshing. He won't rip you off and recommend unnecessary procedures. SIDE NOTE: i really never cared much about the aesthetic side of an office. His office may be "bare" (as another yelp-er pointed out but it doesnt bother me) but it is clean, the music is soothing, and he does not keep you waiting. No complaints. read more

Dr. De Czito was highly recommended by dear friends of mine and I was wise to have taken their advice. Needed root canal which was performed flawlessly. Now, for the first time in my life, all anxiety about dental visits vanished. His explanation of recommended treatments was clear and put me at ease. I am happy that I can further pass on my friends' advice and highly recommend Dr. De Czito. read more

First & last visit: 3 stars because nothing horrible happened here and his receptionist was great. However, I go for a teeth cleaning and sit down in the chair. After two cleaning techniques and exactly 9 minutes later, he is done! 9 minutes for a thorough cleaning? I'm going to have to say absolutely not. When I questioned him he was not bothered and simply ready for me to leave. I started telling him about how my usual dentist does this and flosses my teeth etc. He then pulls out a piece of floss and goes to hands it to me and says "you know how to floss right?" At that point not only was I not pleased with the service he was actually being rude. I left not feeling like my teeth got the proper care and especially aggravated since most insurances typically only cover every 6 months so now I have to wait to actually get my teeth cleaned. I do not recommend this place. read more

Love Dr. De Czito. His pricing is very fair since I have to pay out of pocket(no insurance.) He did a great job with my cleaning and my 2 fillings he did with porcelain. Will go back to replace another silver filling for porcelain next week. Very down to earth and friendly. There's meter parking and parking you have to pay for. A lil pricey for the parking. I paid $10 for just an hour. Try to find a meter and be careful that it's not on a street sweep day. read more

I have been with Dr. De Czito for 27 years - yap - exactly how long I have lived in California. When I moved here and needed a Dentist it was a "no-brainer" to go to the "guy" my husband sees - right? So I started seeing Dr. De Czito. I have to say I am probably not a poster-child when it comes to seeing the dentist on a "oh so regular" schedule. But no matter how much time elapses between my visits, Dr. De Czito never makes me feel bad or gives me a hard time. He just smiles and implies "at least you are here now". (which reminds me - I need to make an appointment :-) ) Whenever he works on my teeth, be it fillings, crowns, or "just" cleaning and exams, I am amazed how much time he takes and how precise he is. He is a true craftsman! I have read some of the "not so good" reviews, and don't really see the true Dr. De Czito described in any of those. How is it bad that the dentist does not have a dental hygienist? I find it quite comforting that he takes the time and "pride" to do the cleaning himself. I never feel rushed, my teeth always feel clean, and my (well his own - ok - my crafted by him) crowns have already "outlived" their predicted life span - what else can you ask for? That he brushes your teeth 2 times a day for you? Oh - And the topper: They should "license" their schedule. I guess the longest I have ever waited to be seen were 10 min - not even enough time to go through ONE "People's Magazine"! How do you think I should stay updated on all the gossip if you don't give me adequate waiting room time? ;-) Grateful to have Dr. De Czito! read more

I love Dr. De Czito and his entire family practice. My mother and I have been seeing him for over 15 years. Now my husband sees him too. They are friendly, warm, honest and professional. Dr.DC will save you money and not make recommendations you don't need. You can always bet its Dr. De Czito who will personally see you and not some new face. Their practice has an old fashioned type of feel in a caring, good way which is a refreshing change in a city with it's share of $ focused dentists/doctors. Here you have a small, friendly practice who are reliable, thorough, honest and delightful, ensuring proper care for our family. Thanks Dr. De Czito! read more

Dr. De Czito has been my dentist for over 8 years. After a few bad experiences with other dental practices in LA, my husband and I are glad we have a dentist we can trust and rely on. Dr. De Czito is very down-to-earth, friendly, and most importantly, as another reviewer said, no BS! He doesn't try to up-sell you, and when some unusual work needs to be done he takes the time to explain it all. The office is clean and calm. We have never had trouble getting appointments, and the admin staff are also very easy to work with. I really appreciate being treated like a person, not just another patient they're trying to rush through their practice. Highly, highly recommended!!! read more

He's good. I'm not at the dentist to chat and make a new best friend. I want to get in and out as quickly as possible. He fixed a gap in my eyetooth caused by over-brushing, and it looks great. Doesn't try to find stuff to do like one former dentist who was just about to perform a root canal before I insisted she double-check the findings which showed it was completely unnecessary. I've been seeing Dr. De Czito for about 5 years now, and I recommend him. Someone else said "straight shooter" and that's what he is. read more

Dr. De Czito is an honest dentist like I'm used to from my small town routes. I had incredible frustration finding a dentist's office in LA that didn't try to upsell me on some unnecessary gum wash or some other thing that isn't covered by insurance. I'm in, I'm out, all is good. read more

I will not be back. I went to Dr. Czito once and he did not take any time or care on my teeth. He was very aggressive with instruments, and his cleaning lasted all of 10 minutes. As other reviews have noted, he is a no frill dentist and he might have good prices (it's covered by insurance anyway), but he does not offer good care. read more

Dr. De Czito is definitely a good dentist. He is friendly, caring, and helpful. I chipped away two of my teeth, and he was able to put in some veneers. I've had no problems every since. The only problem is that his receptionist constantly overcharges us, and we always have troubles with this. This billing issue isn't a one-time thing; it happens all too frequently. Otherwise, Dr. De Czito is great. read more

Looking for a dentist during a tooth emergency...SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE!!! Instead of relieving the pain, working and/or dealing with this appointment left me with more issues than what I started out with. Here's how it all happened. I called early in the morning to try and make an appointment via the number listed on yelp. To my surprise, if patients had an emergency, they could try calling a special phone line to receive immediate attention, as stated "within the hour." I went ahead and left messages on both lines hoping, as a precaution, someone would get back to me ASAP. But, even then, that didn't get me any help. Two hours later, when the doctors office finally opened, I received a call from front desk notifying me that they got my message. They kindly informed me that they would be happy to see me...in maybe about 3 more hours.. (yes people, that is about 5 hours since my initial morning call.) So, I took the appointment and sucked up the pain for a bit. Then, just when I thought the wait was over, I found myself outside a locked/closed office?...REALLY? WHERE IS EVERYONE??? I waited outside the office doors (and knocked) for close to an hour for someone to finally open up the doors. When I saw that didn't help, left numerous messages, but, still no one picked up. When my metered parking ran out and still no doctor in sight, I ended up deciding to drive back home. After all, I wasn't going to wait all day for these guys. WHO'S TO SAY THEY'D EVEN COME BACK TO THE OFFICE. When I got home, I tried calling again to figure out what happened...and unfortunately when I reached the dentist, he seemed short tempered with me? ARE YOU SERIOUS?? All I was thinking was, "HEY, DONT GET MAD AT ME BECAUSE YOU WERE THE NO SHOW TO MY EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT!." The doctor then gave me an alternative appointment time, which ended up being postponed for two additional hours past my initial appointment. Keep in mind, this is 7 hours since my initial call. I drove back to the office and hey, guess what, the office doors were finally open. I waited a few minutes and the was called back to be seen by the doctor. He took care of the problem and sent me on my way..too bad he forgot to prescribe me pain pills. thanks, alot dude. I paid my bill and left and all I could think is, I hope I never have to go through this again. ***Note: if I could give 0 stars, I really would have**** read more

I went there first for a cleaning and did not like it, it was a rough cleaning and both times I've been there I felt like he was trying to rush me out. I needed a referral to get my wisdom teeth removed and he gave me a referral for a oral surgeon that didn't even accept my insurance AFTER I already made an appointment. So I called and told the receptionist to give me a new referral for someone who actually takes my insurance and she said she would look and call me back....didn't happen. read more

The teeth cleaning took 5 minutes. Seriously, 5 minutes. He has no dental hygienists, and I don't think it's because he loves to clean teeth. I think it is because he is just super cheap. My teeth felt like they had stuff stuck between them when I left. I definitely will never go back again. You shouldn't go either. The whole thing kind of seemed like a scam. read more

I have had many dentists in my lifetime (thanks to not being born with great teeth!) and Dr. Frank De Czito is by far the best dentist I've had! He is trustworthy, smart, professional and a straight shooter. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, experienced dentist who is also honest and very reasonable in what he charges for his services. Also, his receptionist Maria is one of the sweetest and most friendliest ladies I've ever met at a doctor's office! You can't go wrong with the exceptional service Maria and Dr. De Czito give to their patients. read more

dr deczito is a wonderful dentist. he, instead of his hygienist, does the cleaning. it's a bit rough because he really gets everything clean, but so worth it. if you don't have insurance they have something called like the 50-50 plan where you pay a one time flat fee of $50, then you get deeply discounted cleanings and checkups. at that rate you don't even need insurance. yes the office is bare and no-frills, but i don't care about any of that. dr deczito is an amazing dentist and even spotted a cavity before the x-ray that my previous dentist had missed. read more

Dr. was very rough when he cleaned my teeth. However, he was cheap and fast. Most important to me was, as a new patient he was able to clean my teeth in the first visit, which is a lot more than most dentists in LA can say! read more

I'm an extremely satisfied patient of Dr. Frank DeCzito for over 4 years now. He's the best prosthodontist and most affordable dentist on the Westside. His office walls are covered with familiar faces of actresses thanking Dr.deCzito for giving them a beautiful smile. There are no Persian rugs and chandeliers in his waiting room. The warm and friendly atmosphere at his office filled with sounds of classical music is perfectly suited for sophisticated patients. No wonder, punks like Sara P. don't feel comfortable in there during cleanings of dope-stained teeth. Dr.deCzito is a very kind man and good looking too. He's tall and handsome, with blue eyes and a soft voice. His charismatic personality and friendly demeanor makes him famous by word-of-mouth. By cutting costs on advertising and overhead that allows the good doctor to charge very affordable prices. read more
