Dr. Oktanyan, Dr. Emily, and Siuneh are the best dental team I've ever had. They are exceptionally patient, kind, and meticulous in their work. For me, feeling comfortable while sitting in a dental chair (mouth open for what feels like forever) is essential, and they truly excel at putting me at ease. They take the time to explain procedures, check in throughout the appointment, and ensure everything is done thoroughly and thoughtfully. I've had my wisdom teeth removed, routine cleanings, and crowns placed and every experience has been smooth and professional, with excellent results. Their office runs efficiently, and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients' comfort and long-term dental health. I have had no complaints with any service and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dental team. read more

I recently changed insurance and was recommended to La Canada Smiles, and I'm so glad I went! From the moment we walked in, the receptionists were warm and welcoming, which immediately set the tone for a great experience. Dr. Akopyan was fantastic. He took the time to answer all of my questions, explain everything clearly, and made me feel completely comfortable and cared for. A special shoutout to Celine, the Treatment Coordinator, who was incredibly transparent about costs and walked us through everything in detail. That level of honesty and support is something I truly value. Genuine, supportive customer service is hard to come by, and this office absolutely delivers. Highly recommend! read more

First appointment i got from them waited 2 months was canceled a day before. Called again and rescheduled; next available Saturday was about a month and a half out, no problem waited again then they called me 3 days before said the dr. Wont be there and canceled again. Front desk is clueless too i get put on hold and forgotten, they ask me to call my insurance... bunch of clowns. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, now its review time enjoy your one star. read more

They have amazing service, all the girls are so kind, friendly, and respectful. They always have a smile on their face. Dr.Emily is amazing. She walks you through the procedure and genuinely cares for her patients read more

Anybody that has ever gotten a "deep cleaning" from them has been scammed. I have a lot of dentist anxieties and had heard horror stories of deep cleanings taking hours, having to break it up into multiple sessions to alleviate the pain. Any reference online (ADA, Cleveland Clinic say plan for between 1-3 hours. To say I was anxious was an understatement. The cost was $800 after insurance (which leads me to believe they're also scamming the insurance companies).That seemed really high but it had been over a decade since my last cleaning I deemed it worth it to start from scratch. I'm embarrassed to admit my teeth are in rough shape so I planned for the worst. I was in and out of the office in under 45 minutes. She used no machines. She scraped around for forty five minutes but didn't even get between my teeth besides an afterthought when she was done by going between each with floss once. She didn't clean underneath either bridges. She even tried to get between the fake teeth with the floss It was a surreal experience like I was being punked. I left feeling like I didn't go to a dentist whasoever I've been going to them for years, have had lots of serious work done. The dentists I have worked with are great, but they are scamming the community and they have been reported to The Dental Board of California and I'm commencing legal proceedings after they made it clear that's their highest standard Don't get scammed like I did. For shame read more

Don't ever go there! Changed insurances, went there last year. Told my daughter she had 4 cavities, ok fill them. Even though my daughter is very good at taking care of her teeth. Left after they refused to give my husband a cleaning because he refused a deep cleaning that we'd have to pay out of pocket for. Went back to old dentist, guess what? Have to replace 4 fillings they did in my daughter because the cavities are still there! Under the fillings! read more

I have only had one visit here so far, but it was an amazing first visit. I'm terrified of the dentist for a few reasons. They made me feel comfortable explained everything and I had no issues during my treatment there. Liz did my deep cleaning and I didn't feel a thing during. If I so much as flinched she would stop immediately and ask if I was ok or felt something. I didn't even have pain or soreness afterwards. I will be returning for sure. read more

I would not recommend Dr. Emily Arambulo. I went for a very simple filling for a very small tiny cavity. Dr. Emily Arambulo did the filling and caused a very bad infection. It was a very painful experience and last for long period of time. I went to so many dentists and never had this happen before. My friends came to this clinic, also complained this doctor did not do a good job on their dental treatment. read more

Very Disappointed with My Experience at La Canada Smiles I had a very negative experience with dental hygienist Siuneh Khodaverdi, RDH, at La Canada Smiles. On multiple occasions, I was pressured into receiving unnecessary treatments that I didn't need. On December 29, 2022, I was forced to pay for both a regular cleaning and additional deep cleaning treatments for two quadrants, even though my insurance wouldn't cover them, and the treatment wasn't necessary based on my pocket depth measurements. I felt coerced into paying out of pocket for services that seemed to be purely for financial gain. In July 2023, Khodaverdi tried to force me into a maintenance cleaning, which I refused. This was after my last visit, which ended with unnecessary antibiotic treatment. I reluctantly agreed to a regular cleaning instead. Most recently, in February 2025, when I went in for a routine cleaning, Khodaverdi once again tried to upsell me on an unnecessary periodontal treatment. She also claimed my treatment was "overdue" since December 2022, even though I had not been back since July 2023 and had changed insurance providers. This was frustrating and felt like an attempt to overcharge for unnecessary services. On top of that, when I asked to see her license, she refused and even told me that "hygienists don't need a license," which was both unprofessional and incorrect. I am extremely dissatisfied with my experiences and the unethical practices I've encountered. I will not be returning to this practice and would not recommend it to anyone looking for trustworthy dental care. read more

Sorry to report, but something's gone terribly downhill the past couple years with this place. They used to be right on time and our past few visits. We've waited at least a half hour if not longer to be seen. read more

Scammers. Made an appt for a cleaning. CLEANING ONLY. Came in and did x-rays for $109. Rip off. Guess what, I could pay $35 extra for a cleaning! Wow!!!!! When i already had a cleaning scheduled!? Unprofessional. Unclear. Worthless. They should have mentioned this on the phone. Would never recommend this place to anyone. Scew this place for trying to get more money out of you. I hope this dentist is happy making money off of nothing true. Keep up the great work! read more

Beware of the dental up selling including: 1 Not needed deep cleanings. You have to pay cash because they're not covered by insurance, due to the fact that you really don't have gum disease. 2 More expensive dental crown options that are NOT covered by insurance, so you pay cash and they make hundreds of more dollars. Also, insurance fraud! read more

This was the best experience that I've ever received from a Dentist Office. My wife and I entered and she needed to get checked. We didn't end up doing the procedure but the way that Christian assisted us not only with keeping us informed but also how careful he was made the process so easy and calming for my wife. I've normally had to deal with people who don't want to be there or even work but how he treated us really helped my wife feel more comfortable. I definitely recommend him for your x-ray scans! read more

I came with my brother, who gets really anxious at the dentist, but Christian made him feel totally comfortable and took care of everything without any issues. Super kind and professional it really made a difference. read more

This smiles location has pleasant staff who take their jobs very seriously and treat their patients with much care! I would like to high light the dental hygienist Liz. She amazing and takes the extra time and care patients can appreciate when dealing with their teeth! Best Hygienist EVER! Love her! read more

I had a wonderful visit as a new patient. My dentist was friendly and explained everything clearly. I would highly recommend this dental office! read more

This Dentistry is truly magical! I came here on a whim when I was on the hunt for a new dental hygienist. They got me in the following day! Not only was I impressed by their efficiency, the office was clean as a whistle, and the staff went out of their way to be helpful! When I came to the dentist I realized I had a flat tire they directed me to a tire shop and gave offered me coffee/water while I waited! The prices are extremely reasonable and they truly care about their patients! The dentist took his time with me and didn't rush in and out. I felt like he took pride in his work and is the epitome of the words customer service and patient care. Thank you again La Canada Smiles!! read more

Absolutely love this team! Dr. Akopyan, Sue, and Alvard!!!. Ease of booking appts and computer process. Friendly and helpful staff starting from the front all the way to the back! Amazing experience! Up front with extra charges and plan of care. Very informative and reassuring especially for people who fear and have bad experiences with dentists in the past! Equipment and care is up to date and procedures are reassuringly necesssary!!! How many of us have gone to the same dentist for years and years knowing they were just messing up our teeth...maybe they were affordable and we were loyal...but we were never sure if we got the right treatment for the right reason.... I have no worries or concerns at my new dental home, my best interest for teeth and health is no doubt a top priority!!! read more

I use to love this place but since they got new front desk staff with the WORST customer service I can't see how anyone would feel welcome. It's too bad because my family really does like Dr O. Sadly he seems to be the only one who can assist patients there because after waiting over an hour (after checking in) I was informed by Dr Emily she could assist me because Fr O had done a poor job with a root canal making a short post causing it to break easily she suggested I wait for the tooth to fully fall out and make an appointment to see if Dr O will require another fee to fix it. 1 week later I'm still waiting for a response read more

I was happy with this place and actually referred 2 new customers... until my last cleaning where they charged over $1000 for a routine cleaning and said nothing to me. I think it was a mistake (?) but never received proper notification on that either. Even after they said they would follow up when I called in, they did not, and I still don't know what's going on. The front desk is completely reactive and will bill you and not tell you. read more

I took my mom for her appointment and Cindy was very caring and kind with her. She was also very patient and answered all her questions and concerns! read more

This is a doomed establishment. The staff consists of unprofessional and disgruntled people particularly the 50-year-old receptionist. She voices her discontent and lets us patients feel her ire and that she detests Mr. So and So (David) who's about to enter the premises because he's a pain in the keister. I'm here to get an unfinished job completed and then I'm not setting foot here ever again. I'm sure the place will be gone anyways, replaced by another Pollo Loco, I hope. Save your money and a potential heart attack and stay away from this awfulness. read more

Good Dentist Dr O is very Qualified to Give Good professional Dental care. Close to me home. Office and delta offices are super clean

Finding a new dentist, is never a fun thing to do, but I think this will work out! The staff is super organized, attentive and friendly. Many of the staff members have been there for quite a few years and adore the doctors and hygienists. I love their touch less checkin and registration. Dr Jaffer was a delight! Informative, caring, knowledge and a fellow Trojan. I love her passion for her profession! Angela, soon to be hygienist was so welcoming. Thank you! Glad I ignored the negative reviews. The only thing I would've liked to have had a bit of experience with was having to wait a little bit for hygienist, but it was all good! read more

Very friendly staff and dentist and if you're only getting your teeth cleaned I can recommend them. The problem is they make there money doing procedures and when you come in for cleaning they are looking for the bigger job. cracked a tooth when they mis set a crown then charged me a $1,000 to fix the tooth they cracked, then after deciding they had to pull that tooth wanted to charge me close to another grand to pull it! I asked if they could take it off the crown I never got but instead offered me a discount on an implant. So I was out 2 grand with a temporary in place when I had to cut my loses and find another dentist. DO NOT GO TO THESE DENTISTRY FARMS!! read more

First patient here! It's been years since the last time I went to a dentist. La Canada Smiles Dentistry made me feel so welcome and the service given by the team, was amazing! Everyone was kind and helped explained the process. Every question I asked it was answered. The RDH Siuneh was the main reason for my review she helped lessen my fear as well provided excellent care and knowledge about the health of my teeth. She gave me comfort by talking and walking through my procedure. This dentistry won me over and I'll definitely continue to come back! read more

Dr.O is the greatest dentist in the world. He treats everybody like family and is very affordable! If you want a dentist who is kind , compassionate and there whenever you need, then look no further. Not to mention the staff are very kind and knowledgeable as well! Cannot recommend enough!! read more

I've been a patient here for 2 years. Every time it is something different. Bills are incorrect. Nobody knows what the "free teeth whitening kit" advertised on yelp is. Scheduling appointments with specific hygienists only to show up and it's a different hygienist. You had 6 months to let me know. Waiting 45 min + when I show up on time. The first BIG red flag was when my cavity filling fell out less than 6 months after being done. I called and they said it would over $100 (WITH insurance) to replace. Then after I paid the dentist said it should be no charge. I had to call and email no less than 20 times and a couple months to get that refund. It was only when I told them I'd just go ahead and report this to my CC company to get the charge reversed they refunded. I had an appointment a couple of weeks ago, but I got a call the night BEFORE saying it's canceled. No explanation, probably due to COVID. Fine, but I called back today and asked for a new appointment. They are "booked out" until October/November. Then they called me back, just to hang up on me. I called BACK just now and they hung up on me again. Wtf??? My job ended and my dental coverage ends the last day in September. Thanks for the heads up and cancelling my appointment with 24 hours notice and then not offering ANYTHING until November! read more

I cannot rave about this dentist office enough. Joan is a gem. She really helped me when I called the office and was lost for what to do about getting my cleanings done. The dentist was so nice and understanding here. I went for my deep cleaning and had Liz as my dental hygienist. She is wonderful. She is very nice and understanding. For a deep cleaning it was a fairly comfortable experience. I had my moments of anxiety but Liz made it so comfortable. I actually look forward to my next cleaning there. read more

I thought this place had decent dental service but then I had to deal with the staff. I've been receiving a bill for over $500 for the past 8 months. I called several times and even went into the office to let them know it was an error. No one was available to assist me and it went to collections. I was finally able to speak to the "supervisor" who confirmed the bill was an error. She took it out of collections a few months ago and I thought we were done. I started receiving the SAME bill again. I confirmed with my insurance company AGAIN that I did not owe any money. Insurance company confirmed that La Cañada Smiles failed to provide the necessary information in order to get paid. SO they send me the fake bill instead. I've called twice and sent a message online today. Watch it go to collections again!! What a clusterf**** back office! read more

Shady place. My dental insurance had changed so came here but will pay out of pocket and go back to my old dental office. Hygienist does a quick deep cleaning... have had deep cleanings before . Doctor barely does an exam ... major scam alert with a lot of treatment plans . read more

I just took out 4 wisdom teeth. It was over before I even knew it. I felt perfectly fine coming out. Angela is the front desk person and she's always sweet. Lana, Madi, Jamie, Michelle were all very helpful in making the procedure quick, smooth, and easy. My oral surgeon was Saman Harouni. He was laser focused on what he needed to do. Very straightforward procedure. read more

UPDATE: The crown they installed less than three months ago now hurts a bit. I'm tired of having to call this office to have their work redone/repaired. Although the staff are good people and their equipment is quite advanced, the work they've done on me is really disappointing in the final analysis. I'll be less than happy calling them yet again this Monday and even unhappier if they charge me more than the large amount I've already paid out. C'mon... I just needed a crown. A simple procedure in dentistry. All my temporaries fall out and now this. To be fair, I loved my hygienist. But I'm not going back after my crown pain is addressed. They're part of the Oktanyan Dental Corporation and one might want to find another resource for their dental needs. read more

UPDATE: They did it AGAIN! Even after I told them about my horrendous experience last time they STILL tried to overcharge me. It took me calling my insurance and having them speak to them directly for them to charge me the correct amount: less than 1/3 of what they had tried to make me pay. I gave them another shot, hoping that the new staff had changed things but obviously not. I'll be finding a new dentist without shoddy business practices. read more

I really love the e tire staff here! Everyone is so kind and helpful! They send plenty of reminders for appts and are very quick to respond to needs. The dentists are kind and gentle and understanding of dental anxiety which I deal with. I highly recommend! read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. The doctors are great but the staff is absolute garbage. I called 3 times leading up to my appointment, making it clear I had only an hour block for my appointment. Every time they reassured me that my appointment was only an hour. Even on my way from the office I called to ask one last time if they're running late because I cannot afford to be late to my meeting after. My appointment was at 12. They finally sat me down at 12:35. What gives anyone the right to think they're time is more important than mine? Why did I even bother calling to make sure? A) i was clearly lied to because the office was jam packed and they were so far behind it was disgusting. B) they denied me a regular teeth cleaning covered by my insurance because the last time i came in i paid extra for a deep clean. OK but i dont want a deep clean it's only been a year since I was in.... last time I hadn't had my teeth cleaned in 5 years so i paid the 100$ for the deep clean.... nope! just straight up denied me getting a normal teeth cleaning. I have told this to everyone i know and no one even believes the story it's so preposterous! Hands down worst staff ever. I will never go back. read more

Best dentist office around-- staff is friendly and helpful, Jasmine the benefits coordinator was able to switch my new insurance to cover my filing right there in the office with no issues. The dentists are knowledgable and take a conservative approach-- they do everything they can to keep my teeth healthy and intact! Also the least painful procedures I've ever had. We started coming here a few years ago when a huge chunk of my husband's tooth fell out. We were pretty sure that he was in for a root canal or the entire tooth would have to go-- but Dr. Oktanyan was able to save the tooth with just a filling and he hasn't had any issues with it since. Great office, very clean and friendly staff. read more

If you like bullying tactics to get you to pay for procedures that you do not need and having them refuse treatment with what your insurance covers for free, than this is the place. Beware of the Dentist up-selling you to costly procedures you do not need! Standard FREE cleaning is listed as: Removal of plague, tartar, calculus and stains from the tooth structure and implants. Standard cleaning is intended to control local irrational factors. When I was in for such a cleaning I was strong armed by dentist and their admin people telling me my standard cleaning was nothing more than brushing my teeth and they will not perform the requested standard cleaning but would only perform the paid $ 140 cleaning. Dentist warned against gum disease with a chart (like a scare tactic pitch)....quite funny for a professional. As a followup I get check ups every 6 months...I went back to my original dentist who I had to discontinue with, due to change of insurance...No gum disease...No cavities...standard cleaning performed and DONE! I wasted 2 hours with La Canada Smiles only to be turn away for such a standard cleaning... Complaint has been filed with the Dental Board of California to help protect all of us from these types of Dental offices trying to up-sell you with charts of gum disease and comments how they will lose their license if they don't perform THEIR recommend treatment. This is pitched at the expense of you not even getting treated. This would be quite comical if it wasn't so serious....! Looking out for all of us here of such unprofessional and harming practices!!! read more

First time here. I've been wanting to find a dentist best suited for me and my 12 year old daughter. We have excellent insurance and thankfully La Canada Smiles is In Network. My daughter being extremely skittish with dentists, Evelyn really made her feel comfortable with teeth cleaning; so comfortable I didn't have to stay and sit with her the entire time. Dr Zin was extremely gentle with her with finishing touches being that she had quite a bit of plaque build up and tartar. Dr. Zin was extremely thorough in his explanation and check up. I'm so thrilled to have found a dentist near by. We will be back soon for a follow up appointment. Krystal was very professional with breakdown in charges and explained all options. The entire staff at La Canada staff were extremely helpful and professional. read more

I hadn't been to a dentist in years due to bad experiences and I'm glad I came here. The staff was so polite & helpful, and the treatment was thorough & pain-free. Thank you to Dr O & Dr Raffi for taking care of my dental needs like family. Highly recommend. read more
