I don't usually write reviews for dental offices, but my experience here was so exceptionally…read morepositive that I had to share. This review is specifically for Dr. Patrick, who recently replaced a dental crown of mine that broke after four years. Dr. Patrick is a true artist. His precision, attention to detail, and bedside manner are entirely unmatched, even during the clinic's busiest hours. Throughout the entire procedure, he kept me fully informed and painstakingly ensured I wasn't experiencing a single moment of pain or discomfort. Because I grind my teeth, my natural teeth are a bit on the smaller side, which meant it took some extra time and meticulous effort to resize and reshape the new crown to align perfectly with my jaw. I tend to avoid confrontation, and I think Dr. Patrick picked up on that. He looked me straight in the eye and encouraged me to speak up if anything felt even a tiny bit off, insisting that it had to be absolutely perfect to protect my bite and jaw alignment long-term. I really appreciated that extra push. Truthfully, I might have held my tongue and settled for "good enough" otherwise. (In hindsight, that's probably what happened with my former dentist in Irvine who did my original crown.) The difference in quality between this crown and my first one is night and day. I found out later that my old crown was actually too big, causing an asymmetrical bite. This time, I have absolute confidence that Dr. Patrick got it perfect right from the start. To top it all off, Dr. Patrick personally followed up a few days after my appointment to ensure everything was still feeling great. If you want a dentist who genuinely cares about both the artistry of his work and the comfort of his patients, look no further.

When I review a restaurant, it boils down to one question: "Is the food made with love?" For…read moredentistry, the question becomes: "Are my teeth made with love?" I can vehemently vouch for Dr. Erica, Dr. Patrick, and their incredible staff at Bello. (Btw, this review is long overdue.) Not only is their work exceptional, but they possess the impressive ability to transform the terrifying, dreadful experience of dental work into a completely pain-free, almost pleasant routine. Here, your teeth are absolutely made with and handled with love. My journey here began after I cracked my dental crown on a Trader Joe's Ridge Cut kettle chip (aka the hardest chip known to man), leaving me in desperate need of an emergency replacement. As a recent casualty of the tech layoffs in LA, I am currently navigating life without dental insurance. Crowns are notoriously expensive. When I discovered that my previous insured dentist was now wildly outside my price range, I started shopping around the LA area for a quality, affordable alternative. The more offices I called, the more a quick trip across the border to Tijuana for cheap dental work--as a friend suggested--started looking like a sane, viable option. Luckily, I was saved from figuring out those logistics when I stumbled upon Bello Dental in Montebello. Not only did they offer manageable pricing for out-of-pocket patients, but their stellar reviews across both Yelp and Google backed it up. From the start, booking was a breeze; the receptionist was kind, knowledgeable, and highly accommodating. The actual visit went just as smoothly, despite the fact that I arrived as a bumbling bundle of nerves. In fact, I was so anxious that I accidentally bit my poor dental hygienist's finger during the initial exam. I was mortified, but she was an absolute sweetheart about it, calmly explaining every step of the process and even reassuring me that the X-rays exposed me to no more radiation than stepping out into the sun. When it was time for the procedure, Dr. Erica injected the numbing agent and gently removed the remaining pieces of my cracked crown. She took a mold for the lab, and then crafted a temporary resin crown to protect the tooth in the meantime. Throughout the entire process, she was calm, patient, and thoroughly professional, constantly checking in to ensure I wasn't in any pain. She was incredibly meticulous about aligning the height of the temporary crown perfectly with my bite. You can tell she is a woman of precision who takes immense pride in her craft and her patients' comfort. I would honestly trust this team with my life--and I will certainly be trusting them with my teeth from now on.

My hygienist, Johana, is the sweetest and has such a gentle touch. She always makes sure I'm comfortable and, most importantly, makes every visit as painless as possible. I also started my Invisalign journey here, and everything has gone smoothly so far. Even though I don't see Dr. D as often now, he's always been very intentional about making sure I leave happy and that my results are exactly where they should be. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and the outcome. I don't see him as much now which is actually a great sign because it means we've been able to maintain a healthy smile! Highly recommend!

But now it was time to address a cracked molar that I'd been living with for a while...and....an old old old filling from my childhood days that fell out. Dr. Wahba understood my fear and was gentle, reassuring, and attentive to whenever I needed a break...she also talked me through her steps and knowing what she was about to do before she did it, helped alleviate and ease my extreme anxiety. I'm someone who loves extreme sports ...heli-skiing, sky diving, ziplining, kayaking whitewater ...but I'm scared of dental procedures... the sound of drills, the smells, the debris in my throat...i have an extreme sensitivity to the administration of anesthesia....dental trauma remembered from childhood and teen years...being told to stop uncontrollable shaking when I couldn't. I alerted the staff to my seemingly irrational fear. Dr. Wahba and her staff were so kind and compassionate. Dr. Wahba is a meticulous...careful...conservative doctor who doesn't like to damaged good teeth if she doesn't have to and most importantly she knew why the administration of the anesthesia hurt me so much...she pushed the anesthesia so slowly, it didn't hurt. Turns out it's not the needle, it's the way the anesthesia enters that was so painful. Other docs rushed it, she didn't. Bless her. Dr. Wahba listened to my feedback. And worked with me to make the dental procedures less traumatizing. Bears repeating -- five stars for Dr. Wahba and her very capable assistant Julie/Julia (im hard of hearing in my right ear, so sorry if i didnt get her name right) but she was lovely and helped to keep me comfortable...Julie/Julia made sure the debris in my throat got sucked out with this vacuum tube so I wasn't gagging...and she helped me whenever my earbuds fell out. ....I was listening to love songs really loud to drown out the sound of the drill. I even brought a small fan to blow away the smells from my nose...I appreciated that they didn't laugh at me, at least not to my face. This is not to say things went totally smooth. I'd never gotten a crown before and both the temporary and the crown itself for my molar was ill-fitting the first time. I needed to make a better mold, so the doctor assessed the reason why and wanted to make it right. She had me remake the mold again at a third visit and this time with her guidance. The doctor had to help me to cleanly bite down on the playdough-like mold-making goo to make a better mold for the permanent crown. It was disappointing and alarming when the temporary crown for that molar fell out within three hours of leaving the dental chair, despite the assistants best efforts to make the temporary fit. I know they tried hard to fit the temporary, but i made a bad mold so they truly did their best...happily that tooth never was painful despite the huge crack in it, so I was able to tolerate the time it took to manufacture a new porcelain crown....and luckily I didn't swallow or choke on it. I appreciate that the doc put a stat (hurry up) on it so the second crown for that molar came within a week, instead of the initial two weeks wait. The office gets a bad rap in other reviews but I found everyone very helpful. Jessica helped me increase my carecredit catd so I could pay for the work being done on a payment plan at no interest for 24 months. Insurance is more like a discount and covers little of the repairs, so Jessica helped to make it easier to pay for dental work which requires full payment at the time of service. You will experience sticker shock at the cost, but that's modern life in 2026. You might feel some upsell of procedures, but for me after 40 plus years of avoidance, I know I need a deep cleaning and whatever preventative procedures is required to keep my teeth and gums healthy. I was able to obtain timely appointments ...but know that this office is only open from Monday to Wednesday. I did find it alarming that the dentist was left calling for help at one point during one of the procedures....because all of the assistants went on mandatory breaks at the same time...seems like a reexamination of scheduling might be required, or perhaps this was an unusual day...but I don't think the dentist should be left stranded without help . I'm still getting used to the crowns, one fits like a glove the other still seems problematic as it's changing how I chew, and forcing me to chew slowly but perhaps that's a good thing, at least it doesn't hurt. And the wait to see the doctor can be long, in my case in the first consultationvisit over two hours. Thank goodness i was able to push back other appointments on my cell phone...dental work was my priority. One thing is certain-- Dr. Wahba was very very very good with this fearful patient.

We didn't hear much conversation but heard a bit of rustling... and found out the dentist proceeded to see another patient in the ofc next to us when we heard the drilling. I was sooo angry AGAIN!!! She came in and apologized again saying it was an emergency. I was so shocked and pissed. My kids were so hangry... It just sucked. She quickly saw that my two year old wasn't sitting still and upset so she said she can't see him. She quickly looked at my 6 year old and told the dental assistant to just clean her teeth and left. The dentist stated she's not pediatric. (I felt tears) The dental assistant was sweet. Of course I still got a claim for both children. I'm sorry for not getting the dentists name. It's been a little over a month. Please... just don't go here. Save yourself the heart break...

From the moment I walk in, I feel genuinely cared for. Abby at the front greets you warmly and has a way of putting you at ease before you even sit down. Dr. Shay and Sally have been my team and I truly couldn't ask for better. They're endlessly patient and kind, and you can just tell they actually care about you as a person, and you're not just an appointment on the schedule. The whole staff is like that (I just have worked more with Abby, Dr.Shay, and Sally). It's consistent and it's real and genuine. I've since moved further away and I happily make the hour-long commute every time, because there's no one else I'd trust with my care. I recently got an implant on one of my front teeth, which was the end of a long process that started with Invisalign and I'm beyond grateful I did all of it here. The results are everything I hoped for and more, but honestly what I'm most grateful for is the care and kindness I received every step of the way. I couldn't ask for more.
