Dr. Ted Baghdasarian. Exceptional dentist, professional, excellent communicator, committed to his patients, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile to deliver the best solution to his patients (considering both dental and financial needs). I considered several different ways to approach my review of Dr. Ted and decided the best way was to encapsulate my impression of him through succinctly stated words. All of these describe Dr. Ted to me. To understand why the stated attributes are so important to me in a dentist, I will briefly share my dental story (which has included dental treatments going way beyond what is normally required). When I was 11 years old, a horse kicked me in the face and knocked out 4 front teeth, and not only the teeth, but the bone that held them. Needless to say, this began a lifetime of my sitting in dentists' chairs hoping for a new, better solution than the last. Through the years I have had numerous dentists and treatment solutions--the latest and greatest. I have experienced exceptional dentists, good dentists, fair dentists, and dentists that were not so great. I put Dr. Ted at the top of the exceptional list. In late 2018, I entered a season of needing some major dental work done again. I visited several dentists to assess my situation and finally settled on one--who unfortunately botched the first phase of the work I needed done. So I began looking again for a qualified dentist to address my needs. In my search, I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Ted--who in demonstrating all the attributes I listed at the start of this review-- assessed my situation, recommend solutions, and proceeded with dental treatment (a number of crowns, an implant, cleaning, & more). I am very pleased with the work performed. Additionally, the staff at Genesis Dental Esthetics are very professional, friendly, and helpful and his office is immaculate. I highly recommend Dr. Ted Baghdasarian as a dentist and new found, professional friend. (I also referred a friend to Dr. Ted who has also been likewise pleased in her experience with him.) read more

Dr. Baghdasarian was kind, personable, and professional. I had a few cavities filled and the procedure was quick and painless. He actually complimented my gum health which was encouraging because I work hard to take good care of my teeth and gums. My mom always said take care of your teeth and they will take care of you. One of the things I appreciated most is that he was honest and did not try to sell me on a bunch of unneeded procedures. I didn't tell Dr. Baghdasarian, but I checked out another dentist for a 2nd opinion and that dentist wanted me to finance 2000.00 in questionable procedures. I will suggest Genesis to anyone looking for a good dentist. read more

Without a doubt I am giving Genesis Dental Esthetics a five star rating. Why? I am the scariest and nervous patient when it comes to dental work which is why I haven't been to the dentist within the last 5 years. When I recently found out I had an abscess tooth (Jan 2022), it changed everything for me. I went to one dentist for a tooth exam and was told I had an infection and was referred to another dentist who performed a root canal at an exorbitant out of pocket cost because my HMO wasn't accepted. I had to act fast. Now I needed a dentist to perform the crown work. After thorough research I found Dr. Ted Baghdasarian and his absolute fantastic team which accepted my insurance. After a full dental exam he provided me with a treatment plan. While Maria his astute assistant, worked up a cost plan. Due to my anxiety and fear of pain, I was able to ask a thousand questions prior, during, and after my treatments. He and his trained staff warned me every step of the way what he/they would be performing and that there would be no pain. Although there was NO pain...I still naturally jumped sometimes...(can't help myself). Dr. Baghdasarian was extremely patient and kind, as well as his staff. Furthermore, I once eaves dropped listening to him talking to another a patient. He touched my heart with how his words cared for his patient. I finally asked him on another visit, did he like his job. He replied, "I love my job." Well there you go! Most of all I will keep coming back until my work is done. read more

My trip to Genesis Dental Esthetics was a breeze in terms of planning, reminders, and my actual appointment. The professionals here care about quality and good customer service keeping me informed about their procedures and analysis. I highly recommended this place as a great dentist. read more

My beige fell off during the pandemic & all the dentist were closed ... i was referred by a friend to try out here and Iam glad I did. I had an awesome experience, staff was very welcoming and friendly ... highly recommend read more

Dr. B. Is the most caring dentist I have ever met. He truly cares about his patients and their dental needs. He is professional, dedicated and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him for all your dental need. My children and I went in for a check up and they took care of all our cleaning, cavities and fluoride applications. Dr. B. Makes you feel special with his quick and excellent service. This place is like a private dental office. I loved having everything done so that I don't have to come back for each and every cavity. Thank you and see you in six months. read more

I definitely recommend Dr. Baghdasarian. The Dr was so honest with me and he was so detailed, that's what I loved. He broke down everything to me in detail. Things that my prior dentist would just brush off and send me home. I would definitely recommend him to everyone. My teeth look so amazing. I will go back to him again and will never go to any dentist. I've got so many compliments on my teeth. Thank you Dr and Maria. read more

My husband and I have been patients here since February 2020. We couldn't be happier with the care and service we have received from Dr. Baghdasarian including 2 urgent needs that were addressed promptly and thoroughly. He has a gentle manner and compared to my previous dentist is much more expeditious. read more

Genesis Dental is truly the best dental office I've attended. When moving to Southern California, I was hesitant to start the search for a new dentist due to bad experiences in the past. Genesis Dental far exceeded my expectations, Dr. Ted Baghdasarian and his staff have been beyond kind, caring and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone with no questions asked. read more

Thank you Dr. B. and Dr. Rustomian for your excellent care! I went in for a regular check up and found out I needed immediate removal of all of my wisdom teeth. I was able to get an appointment two weeks later to have my extractions. In the meantime, my teeth were beautifully cleaned restoring them to a beautiful white! Dr. Rustomian walked me through my complete surgery before hand and ensured I was comfortable throughout the extraction procedure. Both doctors were very professional and gentle practitioners. Their office is beautifully decorated and the hygienists are very sweet yet meticulous ladies who make sure everything is clean. read more

This is a new office that I tried which is closer to my home and I have to say I was SO impressed! Maria is awesome! She's the reason I had my initial visit bc I was looking for a hygienist and she said the dr. does all the work so I was about to hang up and she said, would you like to just come in and see the dr. So I did, their office is clean, plenty of parking, they were efficient and thorough! Super nice! Dr was super knowledgeable like no dentist I've ever seen truly. I did my procedures with them and super bonus new patients get a free Zoom whitening that's a $300 value!!! Everyone should go to them!!! 6 stars if yelp had it!!! I have my 4 month follow scheduled and I'm excited to continue working with them!! Maria you're the bomb! Keep up the good work and personal care!! Oh I also loved the dentists assistant!! I didn't get her name but I just loved her too!! read more

Amazing service and always finishes quickly, without pain! Hadn't gone to a dentist for a few years due to Covid concerns so was worried I would have a lot of issues. Needed major work so they worked out a plan for me. Dr Baghdasarian is patient and kind, as well as all of the staff. Super helpful that all my dental needs can be taken care of here: root canal, implants, fillings, cleaning. Least amount of pain experience compared to any dentists in the past! read more

This has been the best dental experience I've ever had. I had a painful wisdom tooth that needed to be extracted quickly and the staff were able to quickly schedule me for an appointment the next day. Once there Dr. Baghdasarian explained everything and was able to extract the tooth that same day. The entire experience was as painless as could be and the entire staff was helpful. read more

Excellent service but 1 funny thing is the make you pay before service..... maybe there is customer after the service and then can't afford to pay... but the Dr Baghdasarian is a wonderful Dr read more

Thanks so much! Genesis has been so helpful and I will recommend this office to all. Service and staff has been great and takes care of there patients. 5 out of 5 stars if only I could give more stars ! read more

Came in for a normal checkup and was pleased by the care and attention to detail given by the dentist. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Felt like I was in good hands throughout my entire visit. Will be returning here. read more

Professional and high quality dental care. Worth every cent! Dr. Baghdasarian takes his time to ensure you are comfortable and explains every step of the process. The staff at his practice are fantastic and excellent at what they do. Highly highly recommend and will definitely return when I'm back in the area! I had a great experience with this dentist and trust him to perform my bilateral wisdom teeth removal in six months! read more

I rarely post reviews but this one is well deserved. If you want the best, I would tell you to go to Genesis Dental Esthetics. Incredibly up-to-date facility and one that I would travel hours for. Dr. Baghdasarian is a perfectionist and delivers top of the line work. I sincerely believes he cares as much about your teeth as you do. As a military veteran that sometimes didn't get the best service from the VA I can assure you he takes the time..... you will not be herded out like cattle. I've been more than ecstatic with the work he has done for me. Such a rare find. I would also like to say a very special thanks to every employee at the practice. Great people make a great business. read more

Genesis Dental Esthetics has been a great experience for my dental treatment. The doctor and staff are very professional and knowledgeable. Especially the dental assistant, she was very calming and made the whole process very easy. I had multiple large areas of decay and I was also interested in whitening. Dr. Baghdasarian was really efficient in taking care of my cavities and Kristine performed my whitening and my teeth look amazing now! Thank you!! read more

Have been coming here for about a little over a year. The whole staff is very professional, kind and personable. Have come here for some fillings, cleanings, and a root canal. I had some cavities on my wisdom teeth, which I'm hoping to extract soon. The dentist didn't want them to get worse, so he offered to do fillings on them and credit them towards the extraction costs so I wouldn't have to pay twice on those. Very thoughtful. Very happy every time I come here. read more

Beware! It seems this place has just put out shop. They seem to be missing equipment you would expect at a respectable dentists, i.e. an electronic system where X-rays can be put up. So for instance, they cannot import X-rays taken from elsewhere and use them. This in itself would not be a huge problem, but the doctor was super careless; for instance he did not check my gum depths, just told me they were 'great' after a cursory look. Because I have been shopping for a dentist, I had been to another dentist in this area only two weeks ago, and he had done a very complete measurement of gum depths, on each side of every tooth, and told me that in fact my gums were not in very good shape, that I needed to take better care of them with better brushing and flossing. Lastly, BOTH the person at the front desk and the dentist were super pushy about additional procedures besides basic fillings which were not covered by my insurance. Of course I would expect to be informed of all available options, but for these people extracting the most money out of me seemed to be the foremost thing on their mind. For instance the last thing the dentist did after finishing my fillings was again verbally push for an additional procedure I said I did not want to get. Definitely will not return again, and recommend against for anyone looking for a reliable, scrupulous dentist. read more

I love Genesis Dental Esthetics! My husband and I have been coming here for about 3 years and have been very happy ever since. I found them on Google and came here with a very serious issue and Dr. Ted did everything he could for me. I ended having to have the tooth pulled and implants in it's place, work which Dr. Ted performed for me. He and his staff are great! read more

Immaculate office, courteous staff, professional and efficient service. Highly recommend it.

Dr. Ted is a wonderful, caring dentist who listens and throughly explains each part of.your treatments. He also is one of the only dentists in the area that take HMO. If you're looking for a new dentist, look no further. I found scheduling a breeze and Rosie and Maria are lovely as well. I was surprised and grateful to learn that after completing all of my treatments that I was given a free ZOOM whitening! read more

As someone who literally hasn't been to the dentist in years out of fear due to past dental nightmares, I can honestly say I had a great first experience with Dr. Ted and his staff. I had to have a problematic tooth extracted last week, and did not feel any pain during the extraction. I thought for sure after the numbness went away my jaw was going to hurt, but it did not....at all. I was just amazed! I was nervous also, and though there was nothing that could be done about that as it was my first visit, I won't be nervous AT ALL for my future visits. A huge weight has lifted off my shoulders, now that I know I'm in good, caring hands. I'm referring everyone I know to Genesis Dental Esthetics. read more

Truley the greatest experience I've ever encountered, and I've had some great Dentitsts in the past. It's extremely rare these days to have such a committed, dedicated, compassionate Dentist who is very passionate about what he does and explains every step of the way. I felt extremely educated and comfortable during and after my visit. Not to mention, I DIDN'T FEEL A DROP OF PAIN. Wow!!! There is no experience like Dr. Baghdasarian, a true rare Gem in the industry...thank you, can't wait for my next visit...!! read more

Dr. Ted Baghdasarian's practice in Old Town Pasadena is a delight! It's a small shop and you can tell that they are still working through some of their systems/workflow issues, both administratively and in terms of dental procedures, but HE LISTENS and HE IS COMMUNICATIVE. I was very happy with the repair that he did on my front chipped tooth. Three cheers!!! read more

Dr. B and his staff are kind and truly make you feel comfortable. If you're looking for a new dentist, I would definitely recommend Dr. B because he takes the time to explain everything and they're very upfront about costs. After completing treatment you get free teeth whitening, which is a great perk. I'm looking forward to my six month check up and I'm glad to know my teeth are in great hands. read more

I had an emergency dental visit and Dr. B lived up to all the positive reviews I see listed, here. The staff worked me in as a new patient, same day, thankfully! This is the nicest dental office I've visited, and I'm no spring chicken. I look forward to bringing my toddler in for a check up and will update my post accordingly! Thanks, Dr B! read more

It took me a while to find the perfect dentist. Did a lot of research and I came across Dr. B I've been a patient of his for many years and I've got to say that from the front office until sitting on that dentist chair, I am taken care of. His medical assistants are very responsive and flexible with scheduling. Doctor explains in details procedures that will and need to be done! Thank you for your great service and looking forward for more!! read more

We recently got new dental insurance and they randomly assigned us to this dental office. I looked it up here and Yelp and since the reviews were good, I decided stick with them. Good choice! This place is great. Dr. Baghdasarian is the real deal. Confident, competent, kind, and what I appreciate most: a great communicator. My mouth is better off having been under his care. Even better, he was fantastic with my kids, ages 9 and 11. Both had cavities, but he did his best to avoid any sort of anesthesia. They were both very pleased compared to our last dentist. Also appreciated Maria -- so kind and so mindful. She's great. I also appreciate that all of them were upfront about costs and did not pressure me to do anything I wasn't comfortable paying for. Overall, I would recommend this place to anybody. read more

I was having CRAZY pain in my lower left tooth. Can't say I'm surprised though, this tooth had been a problem for nearly a year. I ignored the hole in the tooth until recently it started throbbing like an ice pick had been jabbed in there. Went to a couple places and was told tooth has to be removed which left me shocked, I did not want to lose the tooth! Friend recommended this place, went in to get it checked, thankful that I did. Great doctor, very honest and great personality took a look and said it could be saved with a root canal, ended up getting a cap as well with very little discomfort, woot, keeping my tooth! Ty! I highly recommend this place. It's very clean and very professional Environment . You won't be sorry love this place. Dr Ted is the best . read more

My tooth's crown had fallen completely off and I needed to make an emergency appointment on the day of. I called Genesis Dental Esthetics and was given one for the day of. The staff members were super helpful and the dentist Dr. B took his time to explain everything in detail as to what my tooth needed. I am super happy with the results and have already started recommending my friends and family to go here. read more

I recently discovered Dr. Baghdasarian and have no doubt that I won't be going elsewhere! Many other places were closed due to covid-19 and had no compassion to schedule appointments for patients (although they are required to treat patients who were in pain). I finally found Dr. B and Maria who I now see as my tooth angels. I haven't had the best experience with dentists in the past so I appreciated how informative, kind, and professional they were. During my first visit, we discussed the options for my tooth and determined that a dental implant was the best option for me. This sounded really scary at first but Dr. B and Maria really eased my mind about the whole process. I had unfortunately lost my job due to covid-19 layoffs so I really appreciated having the option for a payment plan. On my second visit I got a call from my previous workplace offering me a job and I thought this dental office must be my lucky place. Everyone there is always full of positive energy and they were really happy for me! To wrap up my implant experience, it really isn't as scary as I thought. I just finished the first part of my operation and it was seamless. The work they do isn't easy but they make it look like second nature. I also feel comfortable enough to express any tooth concerns and Dr. B is always happy to help. I've never had an experience that was this efficient and well done. The fact that they are so caring of their patients is also a huge plus. I would recommend Dr. B and his staff to anyone who is in need of dental work; they're truly amazing! read more

I had such a fantastic first experience coming to this wonderful dental office Establishment. The staff and customer service experience is over my expectations. The care I was given felt like I'm part the family and that you don't find these days in the world we live in. Dr. Baghdasarian Really has the magic touch with his painless and gentle approach on my sensitive gums and teeth.I really recommend everyone to take my word and walk in for a appointment and experience it for your self. I am officially a customer for life for this wonderful establishment. Thank you team Genesis for giving me back my smile and confidence back. read more

Everyone here is so very kind! The receptionist, dental assistants, and Dr B, they were so good to me. Because of chemo a few months prior and radiation (my last day of radiation!) the corner of a molar broke off and they squeezed me in to look at it and made me a quick appointment to repair it. I'm a BIG BABY when it comes to going to the dentist and they treated me so gently every step of the way. Dr B told me what he was doing as he was doing it (which helped a lot). He told me what toothpaste to use and other things I can do to help my teeth recover from treatments and we made a plan for my next visit. They fought with my insurance company, unfortunately to no avail (dirt bag MetLife), but I appreciate that they tried! Dr B, I promise I will be back for my cleaning! Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

I usually don't leave reviews, but I had my dental implants placed at Genesis Dental Esthetics recently to replace some teeth I lost many years ago. My experience from start to finish was very pleasant. The doctor and his entire staff are very caring and professional, I'm really glad I was able to find this location. read more

I found Genesis Dental through yelp last year. I decided to give them a try due to their stellar reviews and the accessibility of their location. They have their own parking lot which makes visiting so easy. I do not regret my decision to choose this dental clinic! Dr. Bahgdasarian is very gentle, knowledgeable, and takes time to really talk to his patients. He makes sure that you are well informed of the procedures, and understand what is needed on your part. All of his staff are very professional and helpful. Maria gives all patients great customer service. Genesis, dental hygienist, is also very awesome! She makes sure that I know which areas needed more flossing to reduce buildup. When I first visited, I had quite a lot of dental work that needed to be done, including wisdom teeth extractions and clear correct ( or invisalign). The oral surgeon in this location is also very gentle and patient! I am terrified of extractions and he made sure that I was comfortable during the procedure. Additionally, whenever I have issues on my clear correct (or Invisalign), Maria and Dr. B always tries to squeeze me into the schedule. This is another additional bonus! Some aligners are hard to put on by myself. read more

Felt like I was being sold. I was not allowed to get a price breakdown of costs being charged to me. When X-rays were put on the screen, I was told I had 3 cavities, yet there was no indication of this. When I brought my daughter in, she was told all her wisdom teeth would need to be extracted. She had another dental opinion and only 2 need to be. read more

I legit have a fear of dentist as I'm sure many people do. But I am so glad I found Dr. B and his team. Dr. B is very knowledgeable and gentle. Dr. B and his team have great customer service and honest prices. Maria is awesome too! It's nice to have someone friendly in the front and someone who will answer all of your weekend questions with a smile. Seriously, check them out! We all need to get our teeth checked and cleaned periodically, so why not go to a Dentist who is honest, nice and legit? read more
