Our family has been seeing Drs. Khanideh and Pouyan since our adult children were in braces. They provide the best, most gentle dental care I could hope for -- and I've had lots of it! From checkups to fillings to implants to wisdom teeth removed. Whitney makes regular cleanings a breeze. Everyone in the office is friendly and considerate. We highly recommend them! read more

Clean environment and good staff. I Quality work done here. Good experience over all. read more

I had a great experience at this office! I told them about my teeth sensitivity and my anxiety about pain and they cleaned my teeth very gently. They were super attentive and accommodating. For the cleaning they used a vibrating water tool, which was much more comfortable than the metal scraping thing. They were thorough in every way such as explaining my options, walking me through my x-rays & scans, and offering an itemized list with pricing before any additional procedures. read more

Awesome Dental Office. Dr. Khaniheh & Dr. Pouyan are both excellent!! The staff is awesome as well. read more

I aggressively recommend LiveWell Dentistry. The quality of the care is fantastic. I have only had positive experiences there. Dr. Pouyan installed a front crown that was indistinguishable from my other tooth, which is no simple task because I'm old and my teeth have a lot of "character." On multiple occasions, Dr. Pouyan has fit me into his schedule last minute to take care of dental emergencies, including coming in on his day off so that I wouldn't have a missing tooth over the weekend. (My already average IQ couldn't take that hit.) I'd give them 6 stars if I could. read more

LiveWell Dentistry - General Dentistry Near Me - Santa Monica, California

My experience here was great. I put off getting my wisdom teeth removed for a while (regrettably) and ended up in severe pain/needing it done urgently. They got me in to be seen immediately after calling. Every staff member was pleasant. I met with both Drs who were wonderful. They got my trouble wisdom teeth out the same day (Dr. Pouyan stayed late to get this done for me) and the follow up care was beyond expectation. Highly recommend this practice. read more

Dr. Khanideh is amazing. She is very thorough and kind. She takes the time to explain everything. Great bedside manners. Whitney, the dental hygienist is very gentle and very accommodating. I highly recommend LiveWell Dentistry. read more

Amazing dentists here! The office staff is friendly and the care is top notch. Both dentists have the best bedside manner. I even began taking my young son as they are friendly and good at putting patients at ease. read more

I know about 99% of us do not look forward to a root canal (or two). I definitely was not, but Dr. Pouyan did such a great job. He's kind and funny, and actually wants to know if something hurts so he can find a way to make it more comfortable. His assistant was also so kind and helpful. Dr. Pouyan is committed to making sure you are happy with your smile, and that your teeth are as healthy as possible. Can't say I will look forward to another root canal, but I will be much less anxious about it! read more

Amazing experience at LiveWell Dentistry as always. Dr. Khanideh, Dr. Pouyan and all the staff are very professional and knowledgeable. They are all very gentle, and accommodating. I been coming to this practice for years and every visit been great. read more

Friendly staff and caring doctor (Dr. Khanideh) straightened my teeth. I felt comfortable during each visit and can say that I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a dentist. read more

Beware of this dental office. On the surface they seem perfectly charming, polite etc. Clean, modern office filled only with young women, when I went. However, once they get you in the chair they will do everything they can to clean your wallet out. The dentist told me I had to replace ALL the fillings in my mouth, a procedure she would do over the course of several appointments, costing thousands. Naturally went to get a second opinion. My new dentist was shocked by what I told him- He said I have no cavities, and no need for anything but elective dental work. be careful out there people! avoid this place read more

I've been coming here for several years and always have a great experience. The staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Khanideh is amazing! I recently had a filling replaced and it was pain free and quick. Everything was explained along the way so I knew what was happening, and they constantly checked in with me to make sure I was comfortable. She was also great at distracting me with good stories and conversation! I've never been disappointed here and recommend Dr. Khanideh to anyone who asks! read more

Visited the office for my regular cleaning. Everyone was amazing and helpful as usual. Thank you LiveWell Dentistry for keeping my teeth healthy and cavity free. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Terrific team at his office. Courteous, professional, quick and competent. Looking forward to continuing to be cared for here.

Thank god I found Live Well dentistry. The Dr's and front office are all excellent. I have had a horrible history of bad dentist who either did a bad job or committed insurance fraud so I'm always skeptical. I finally found a dentist office I can call my own. I love my doctors here, the care is fantastic. highly recommend them. They also do such a great job of reminding you of your appointments texting you. They are on it and I appreciate that so much. read more

I had a pleasant experience at Live Well Dentistry. I had an appointment for a deep cleaning and was extremely nervous because I am not a fan of needles and being poked in my gums. Whitney did an awesome job with making me feel comfortable and also numbing my gums. My cleaning appointment was quick and before I knew it my cleaning was complete. I would recommend Live Well Dentistry to anyone who would like a great dentist. read more

Dr Pouyan is fantastic! I came in for a dental emergency 15 min before they closed and he took the time to listen and help me. His staff were great as well. Highly recommend! Thank out for your kindness! read more

I am SO happy I found this place!!! My teeth have never looked better. Dr. Khanideh is the best dentist I have ever had. I went in this week and I felt extremely safe. The constant sanitation and the extraordinary measures this office has placed is outstanding. She takes the time to explain everything to me. She truly cares about her patients and has made such a difference in my life. I ask so many questions and she answers all of them and puts me at ease. I feel so lucky to have found this office!!!

LiveWell Dentistry - Beautiful waiting area - General Dentistry Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I'm not a fan of the dentist but this place makes it enjoyable! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming.

Really happy with my last visit with Dr. K. Came in for a cleaning from Tina and she was great. Staff is very professional and the office is very clean. read more

A bit of a cash-grab mentality. They will try to upsell you and tell you that you need thousands of dollars worth of work, when you actually might not. Got a second opinion and was able to avoid spending nearly $5,000, which is what LiveWell quoted me AFTER Premier PPO insurance. read more

Dr. Khanideh and her staff are incredibly helpful and personable, it makes a trip to the dentist so pleasant and easy. I've been coming here for years! read more

A friend of mine recommended LiveWell Dentistry to me and I can see why he spoke highly of this clinic! I've now come about five times for a range of services. Every person I have interacted with is kind and deeply compassionate. They are thorough and take good care of me every time. I'm grateful to have found them! read more

Amazing,affordable, and ethical dentist! All staff and dentist were so nice and sweet!! Happy to have found a great dentist without dental insurance! read more

This might be the best dentist I've ever went to. I came here after receiving a new client special flier in the mail. I was able to make a last minute appointment when I had a day off work. The staff was very friendly and I received the most thorough cleaning of my life. This is not the kind of place that tries to swindle you and dramatizes your problems, I was told I have a slight cavity, but with good brushing I will likely not need a filling. You don't always get that with dentists, so I appreciate having an honest one! read more

First time in. Was great. Everyone was very nice, office was clean and bright and was very efficient (didn't wait in lobby or to see dr).

always the sweetest people ever! been coming here for about a year now and never a bad experience. fell ASLEEP when i got my cavity filled! it's that nice :) read more

I didn't know it was possible to like a dentist so much!! After a traumatic dental experience, a friend with severe dental anxiety recommended their office to me. They were kind, gentle, and not in the least condescending, like MANY dentist's offices are. Dr. Khanideh found two cavities, but I'm not at all concerned/worried because I felt really safe here. read more

Today was my first visit at Live well dentistry and I had a great experience. I came in for a cleaning. The office is very clean and the staff are all very kind. It was very easy to get into the building and the parking garage is very convenient. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family! read more

I work in a medical building with several dentists to choose from. I chose Dr. Khanideh after hearing a report from my coworker that she helped her after hours fill a prescription that her insurance wouldn't cover. Someone that looks after their patients to this degree - she literally went to the pharmacy to ensure things were taken care of - is so so rare, I had to give them a try. Dr. Khanideh and her entire office have exceeded my expectations. They remind me of when I am due for my next appt and go out if their way to find times that work with my busy work schedule. Shay has master hands and ensures I am comfy during my cleanings. She is also super educated and gives the best tips in caring for your smile. Debbie and Leila are always accommodating and are just some of the genuinely nicest people I have encountered in LA. Dr. K discusses all potential options and involves you in the decision making. I am so happy I have them to look after my teeth and gums . Thank you ladies ! You all truly shine and deserve to be recognized ! read more

Amazing! No other words. The staff and Dr. Khandieh have taken such good care of me. I generally dislike going to the dentist because of all my past expierences at different offices over the years, but her and the team make me feel so comfortable and well cared for. They really look after all their patients! Thank you!!!! read more

The only good thing about this place is Dr. Pouyan's conversations. There is no parking, they don't validate and you have to find street parking. The dental technicians are rude and lacking experience. I walked through the door and the technician looked me up and down. The cleaning was painful, she had very bad bedside manners, x-rays and pictures needed to be taken multiple times. The front desk is not any better. I had to cancel an appointment and she demanded why? I don't think I need to explain myself for rescheduling. Now I get a bill in February from November with the invoice modified with whiteout. Even though I always asked before I left if I owed anything and was told I was good to go. I didn't realize how bad this place was until, a tooth was bothering me and I had to go to an endodontist, for him to tell me the tooth was fractured and needed to be extracted. The x-rays from Livewell was not adequate enough to show this. Then the front desk tells me they have a dentist who comes in and does implants but does not take any insurance. I'm supposed to pay 6-7K out of pocket? She then told me to get it extracted and implanted all in the same day. I called another dentist and he told me that it is not possible to extract and implant in the same day. He also accepted my insurance and I ended up paying less than 2K. When they quote you for treatment, I would advise you to call around and speak to other dentists before you go ahead with the procedure. I trusted Dr. Pouyan and assumed they were helping me all while they were just helping themselves to my pocketbook. Also, they said my insurance doesn't cover night guards and made me pay out of pocked for it. I checked with my insurance and it does cover night guards. Shame on you for incorrectly billing customers. read more

A family member recommended LiveWell Dentistry, and I'm so glad they did. The staff here are so kind as is the dental hygienist. I feel really confident with Dr. Khanideh. She addressed all of my problems and made me feel at ease. Teeth are so very important. Here at LiveWell Dentistry, I feel my teeth are in the best hands. I have never felt that before. I highly recommend. read more
