Although we have great dentists, she gets the royal treatment at Village Dental, Dr. Banaag's office. The staff is all friendly. Bernadette has been the dental hygienist who has cleaned my daughter's teeth the past two times we've visited, and she is fantastic! My daughter gets scared about some of the sensations and tools experienced at the dentist's office, but Bernadette put her at ease and talked to her the entire time. The office is definitely child-friendly. Dr. Banaag is a supercool guy with a very friendly, easy-going demeanor. My daughter loves it when he finally comes in and she gets to talk to him. As a parent, I appreciate that he tells me what to watch and where to give special attention when helping my daughter brush her teeth. The part that makes me really jealous is the awesome selection of things that my dentist doesn't offer. First, they have a cool, pink substance with which they swab your teeth. It shows where all of the tartar is, so that the hygienist can see where to focus when cleaning and scraping. They also have a pretty good selection of tooth polish flavors. My daughter was offered her choice out of strawberry, mint, VANILLA, or CHOCOLATE! Vanilla or chocolate tooth polish? I'm so there! Parking is available in an underground garage. Be sure to have your parking validated by one of the receptionists before leaving the office. I would definitely recommend Dr. Banaag and Village Dental to anyone.

I was recently referred to Dr. Brockett from a friend, which turned out to be the best decision…read moreI've made. First of all I hate going to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned, but my recent experience with Dr. Brockett and their hygienist has changed my perspective. They did a very thorough (and gentle) cleaning and for the first time ever I wasn't white knuckling the arm rest. Secondly, I unfortunately had to get an implant and crown (from my previous dentist). Dr. Brockett took care of this within a week and a half my new tooth was in and set. Once inserted, he ensured the implanted crown (tooth) felt natural with 0 discomfort along with an exact match of the color figuration. I highly recommend this office as this was the best experience I've had over the past 30 years with any dental procedure. See you in 6 months! Thank you.

Maybe I'm biased, because I've been going to Dr. Brockett since childhood, but I've gone to a few…read moreother dentists here and there (when away for college etc.) and no one else compares. Dr. Brockett is very friendly, helpful and honest. I had a bad experience with a dishonest dentist (see my review of Tiffany Phi at La Jolla Del Sur)--and from reading a lot of other dentist reviews on Yelp, that seems to be a trend--so I think it's important to note how trustworthy Dr. Brockett is. He has never recomended an unnecessary procedure, and in fact has talked me out of some elective treatments that he didn't think were necessary. His staff is wonderful as well. They are the friendliest group, and you can tell they like their jobs and their patients. Plus the hygienists give the most thorough, and painless cleanings. They are total pros.

This dentist just blows my mind now...but not in a good way. Here is my terrible story:…read more I submitted my previous review of this man and of his dental practice far too prematurely. I submitted it before he had actually completed the work in my mouth. Before he had even completed the work he had been paid for up front. I came to see Dr. Lovell in the first place...to repair a broken molar. He examined my teeth...seemed pretty sweet and while he was prepping my mouth for the crown I needed he kindly offered to try bleaching one of my front teeth. This front tooth had had a root canal and needed a bond to conceal it's stain. Dr. Lovell charged me about $150 to bleach this front tooth...but he promised to refund that amount in full if it didn't improve the color of the tooth. he removed the structure behind the tooth to run his bleaching agents through it. Dr. Lovell's bleaching work never improved the color of my tooth whatsoever. He never refunded us for the bleaching as he had promised. But even worse...the plug he then replaced into the rear of my tooth has now entirely fallen off! This has left my front tooth entirely o p e n in it's rear, weakening the integrity of my front tooth and permitting food and bacteria to enter the tooth itself...to rot it out from with. Believe it or not, his front desk agent, Elsa...has informed me today that I must now "learn to live with it and like it". Unbelievable. Dr. Lovell charged me half upfront for the crown he was allegedly having made for my broken molar. Our arrangement was that the other half payment would be due on the date he actually put in my crown. Unfortunately...his office staff doesn't bother to abide by any of the arrangements and payment options Dr. Lovell makes. His office staff makes their own rules. They don't even bother to respect the Business & Professions Code when they contrive their rules. I was left a number of increasingly threatening messages by his front office staff....Elsa & Margie....both of whom actually hanged up on me when I tried to reason with their office over the phone. Dr. Lovell did send me a very kind letter apologizing on behalf of the unkind women who manage his front office. He even offered to come in on a Wednesday...so I wouldn't have to deal with them. Unfortunately...these two woman, Elsa & Margie, have kept me stringing along for a year now...trying to get my appointment for him to finish the crown he started and I paid for...not to mention to repair the work he so poorly "completed" on my front tooth. I'm reading through the other reviews that have been posted for this dentist. I would bet you money...at least two of them were submitted by his office staff...who are so gushingly praised in his counterfeit reviews.

My last Dentist must have also been a used car salesman, because I think he got off on suggesting a lot of unnecessary work to pad his pockets. And judging by what others are saying on his reviews I'm not the only one with that opinion. I'm happy to say that Dr. Lovell doesn't do that at all!! In fact he says things like, well if they were my teeth I would do it this way....or here's how you can correct that with just some different brushing. Versus.....you need to spend $4000 on gum surgery and deep cleanings every 4 months and and and.... I recommend him highly! Thanks Yelp for pointing me his way!!
