I've been going to Dr. Guerra for over 5 years and he and his staff are amazing. Dr. Guerra is a perfectionist and won't let you leave until everything is perfect. I've never had a bad experience there ever! read more

My family has known Dr. Guerra for decades. He was my late mother's dentist and worked on her teeth despite her severe dementia. Dr. Guerra was kind, patient, and competent. Dr. Guerra was my son's dentist since he was 3-years old. Initially, to introduce him to the concept of dentistry, Dr. Guerra had him sit in the dental chair, made a balloon out of the latex gloves and helped my son get comfortable with sitting in the exam chair. Finally, Dr. Guerra believed me when I had pain in one of my upper left molars. He referred me to an Endodontist that refused to believe me, but Dr. Guerra referred me to another Endodontist who used ultrasound to detect the damaged root underneath my upper molar crown. I feel that what is awesome about Dr. Guerra is that he truly cares about his patients and tailors his dentistry to their individual treatment needs! read more

Dr Guerra has been our family dentist for over 20 years now. We love how dedicated, professional and caring him and his staff are and I trust him 100% with all of teeth health. His office in Santa Monica is a zen sanctuary , everyone is super nice and calm and this makes the entire experience like going to a spa. Dr Guerra and his team truly care about their patients. Don't look any further for the best dental health expert team! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Guerra and his team for about 15 years and I have nothing but good things to say about his practice! I have had to spend a lot of time in the office for some major procedures over the years. Staff are consistently accommodating, reassuring and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Guerra and his team to anyone who might be looking for a new dental provider. read more

The staff here is super professional and Dr. Guerra is world class! You can tell they love what they do. I had an old crown removed and a new one was made to replace the old one. The work done was beyond perfect, Dr Guerra is very well connected with a great network of industry professionals incase you need to be reffered for special treatments. I have to drive for 2.5hrs to come here when I do, but it's such a great experience I don't mind making the drive.. I highly recommend Dr. Guerra and his staff. read more

I am a patient of Dr Guerra for over 12yrs and I cannot imagine going to another dentist. When I first was referred to him, I was under the impression I needed 4 crowns replaced based on what another (less ethical) dentist had told me. In the end, I only needed ONE crown and as has been his professional philosophy since that first appointment, Dr. Guerra believes in preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible. He and his staff are always kind, courteous and make patient comfort their highest concern. The drive from Torrance to Santa Monica takes planning for the commute, but well worth every minute. Great care, high quality work, ethical. read more

I admire and respect , Doctor Guerra's for the dedication and very thorough he is on every single patients treatment . He takes pride of his expertise . The best of him . He is honest and cares for his patients. read more

I've been treated by over a few dozen dentists across the world and time and again I had to correct the damage done by a previous dentist. Until I discovered Dr. Guerra. His holistic approach to my dental health, meticulous attention to detail and flawless execution form a reason why I've been using his services for years now. From regular cleaning to the most complex surgeries, I know I can rely on him and his fabulous team to take the best care of me. I can't overstate how important this sense of trust is for me. Thank you, Dr. Guerra and the team for my wide smile that's getting wider and wider. I hope to never need to use dental services but since that's unrealistic, I'm glad to be under your care! read more

Dr. Guerra has been my dentist now for nearly twenty years now and every appointment I have had has been a satisfying experience. His staff is top notch and Verna is absolutely the best assistant in Dr. Guerra's dental practice. If every dental practice was this honest and fair we would be living in a better world. read more

this guy is amazing. Dr G and his staff were referred to me after i endured a dentist from hell scenario, and seriously, i was living with dental PTSD. Than I met Dr. G. Dr G, is a thoughtful, gentle and perfectionist dentist. hegave me back the confidence I didn't have in dentists anymore. Now my whole family goes to him. And even though he's not the cheapest, he is for certain, worth every penny. He had to make me a crown in front and the thing looks REAL. His crown guy Hiro, would come in a color match the tooth right in my mouth! They took this tooth seriously. We had appointments until it matched JUST RIGHT. They care and take pride in their work. Dr. G will take the time to make sure its PERFECT. Not just okay. And the result... It shows. My fake tooth looks and feels real. And the best part, i finally have a dentist i trust. Kira does amazing cleanings too. She won't stop until every last bit of grime is gone. Easy parking. Friendly staff. It is a very personable, nice experience. Dr. G even brings his avocados from his tree and gives them to patients during the season! Good dentist and free avocados? How can you top that! read more

He has given me a crown that looks good, and fixed my front teeth making them look like new (when I was young ! )

Never have I ever felt comfortable about the dentist, however I can now say that has all changed. My mother has been going to Dr. Guerra for a little over a year now and has said nothing but the most amazingly positive things about Dr. Guerra and his office staff. I'll be honest I was still not so sure, but my recent discovery of a large black dot on my molar gave me no choice but to find out for myself. I can't tell you how unbelievably wonderful Dr. Guerra and his staff are, to say they are amazing would be an understatement. Dr. Guerra has the most delicate touch, he is calming and keeps you updated with each step he is taking. He was very attentive and overly concerned with my comfort level at all times. He was honest and informative. I have never felt so confident in a dentist in all my life. I am a patient for life. Thank you to Dr. Guerra and his staff for creating a whole new imagine of the dentist in my life. My teeth have never looked for felt better. I am so happy to have found you. I actually look forward to my next appointment. read more

I have been coming here for over a year- and I absolutely think they deserve 5 stars for being a Dentist that I feel will not rip me off and honestly care about my teeth and over all health. All the girls are so sweet - perfect scraping and cleaning and knowledgeable about how to maintain my good teeth..and they talk to me like we are friends which I love. Dr. Guerra also double checks the fantastic cleaning I just had and checks the tongue for potential problems and my throat and cares if I smoke" which I do not" but I do not recall other dentist being so thorough. I love this dentist!!! read more

This man is by far the worst dentist my family and I have ever been to. He has no idea what he is doing. We are shocked that he is still in business, as seven people from our family have left his practice and many other friends, as well. He flounders when he's working. He misdiagnoses and then lies to cover up his lack of knowledge. (are those papers on the wall real??) He referred us to a friend of his for things such as implants, extraction, etc and that man turned out to be just as bad as he was. In fact, that dentist recently had to close down his business! We expect any day to see the shutter go down on this man's office, as well. Given his lack of knowledge, expertise and handling of patients, compounded with his propensity to lie lie lie, people won't go to him and those who started will soon figure it out and run as fast as they can out the exit. Beware!!! Beware!!! Beware!!! Quick update: As time goes on, the words above couldn't be more true and accurate. All of the "work" Guerra did in my mouth over the few years we struggled there has had to be REDONE--at great expense to us, of course. This charlatan denies any responsibility for his shoddy work and my new dentist can't believe how poor the work was and the duration of its life. The things he did should have lasted decades, not months or even a mere year. Don't trust this man. It is, by the way, obvious that he coerced random people to write a number of fake reviews, and not only that several attempted to disparage ME!! One even said I had bashed other businesses and therefore am angry and negative! Well, there you go--this is the only business I have ever done for ANY business-- and yes, we all were angry at the time because he cheated us out of an enormous amount of money. We took him to court and even in that setting where he swore to tell the truth?? He lied! I had a wonderful lifelong dentist before Guerra (I hesitate to call him a doctor), and he passed away. Now, after the abhorrent experience with Guerra, my family, friends and I are extremely happy with a qualified and capable dentist. The latter are out there, folks---keep looking until you find one. read more

My wife and I have known Dr. Guerra for over twenty years, and he genuinely cares about his patients. My wife had an accident several years ago, whereby she fell on the sidewalk, and her front teeth were sheared off. It was a very painful experience for my wife; however, Dr. Guerra made sure she was comfortable, and followed-up with her at home, to make sure everything was going well. It took well over a year to restore her teeth, but today she is still doing well. We are both retired now; however, we continue to go see him, even if we have to drive 15 miles. The hygienist, the dental assistant, and the rest of the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, and they care about their patients. He has been by far the best dentist we have ever had. It's like looking for a car mechanic; once you find a good one that you feel comfortable with, you want to do everything possible to maintain a good doctor/patient relationship. And please note that I did not receive any special favors for writing this review. read more

Dr. Guerra is a very gentle and kind man who actually cares about his patients. He is easy to communicate with and appears honest with all of his advice. I also really enjoy Kira's cleanings. She scrapes each and every last bit of tartar on my teeth! If you are looking for a new dentist, I highly reccomend Dr. Luis Guerra in Santa Monica! PS. THEY HAVE PARKING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR SUITE! YAY! read more

Dr. Guerra is amazing. I've been to several dentists throughout the years but he is easily the most thorough and patient. His work is just excellent. He also doesn't try to push unnecessary procedures on you like some dentists. Though I've moved several times through the years, I won't change dentists and drive the extra hour just to see him. I also have to agree about his hygienist. (Okay, I don't know how to spell her name.) But she is really thorough. Both are professionals of the highest caliber who really care about their work. read more

I have been seeing Dr Guerra here since he opened the practice and I have to say he is a great dentist and a really good guy. Always friendly and helpful, and he has an A-plus team with him. read more

UPDATE - judges have ruled in my mother's favor twice now: once in small claims and a second time in appeals court. Dr. Guerra continues to deny fair treatment to my mother and the justice system has confirmed it. read more

Dr. Guerra is an artist a saint a fantastic dentist! Go to him! I fly down from SF to continue with his care. I fly in friends from NY! He is a genius. He does not know I am writing this. I am just a big fan. read more

I was in for my dental cleaning and check up today. I had a new hygienist, Sophia, and I think she is wonderful. While she was very thorough, she was also very gentle. I have sensitive gums because of years of cancer treatment and sometimes in the past I have had to have my gums numbed so that I could tolerate the cleaning. I didn't need any numbing today so I am very happy about the new hygienist. I also saw Dr. Guerra for a check. I have been going to him for a decade or so and I have always found him to be thorough and very gentle. He's a really sweet guy and has taken good care of my teeth all these years. Unlike other dentists I have seen over the years, he doesn't push me to do unnecessary work. read more

My wife and I are big fans of Dr. Guerra and his team. They are all thorough, dedicated and very knowledgable. I drive from Riverside for my visits and am always thankful for his professionalism and skill. I would recommend him to anyone. A big plus is that parking is always available directly in front of his office. read more

I started going to Dr Guerra eight years ago when I moved to Santa Monica. He has done incredible work and has always been very professional. I had a cracked molar from a motorcycle accident and was experiencing a lot of pain. He was able to see me right away and through his contacts in the dentistry community I had a root canal followed by a great temp and perfect matching permanent from Dr Guerra. He and his staff have always been very personable and professional. I highly recommend him and his staff! read more

I've been visiting Dr. Luis Guerra for almost 17 years. His office has helped me with crowns, fillings, and routine cleanings. In addition, I have never been disappointed with his referrals to specialists. I sent my daughter to his office as a preteen and teenager and he was great with her. His hygienists are always very thorough and competent. I appreciate how Dr. Guerra cares about my overall dental health. I love his warm, personable nature. I haven't lived in the city for 8 years but I still commute for my twice-per-year visits. read more

Dr. Guerra is an expert dentist. There are two reasons he is my dentist - 1) His touch is very gentle while working in my mouth 2) His philosophy, in my opinion, is that he only performs work based on using the best products/techniques available and actual need or usefulness of proceedures. (I've had experiences in the past of Dentists trying to sell me on work I really didn't need done.) I feel fully confident in recommending Dr. Guerra to you! read more

I absolutely HATE to go to the dentist, but Dr. Guerra and his staff are the BEST. So patient, so kind. I was terrified when I had to get a filling and he was so understanding of my anxiety and reassuring. The filling was quick and painless! Also, Kira does the most amazing cleanings. If you live in the West LA area, you MUST go to Dr. Guerra. I am a loyal patient for life! read more

Dr. Guerra is hands down the BEST DENTIST I have ever been to! He is patient, kind, professional and his work is amazing. I've been going to him for years and recommend him to all of my friends. I recently needed an emergency root canal and not only did he stay late to see me, he made a personal phone call to an endodontist who also agreed to see me that night and stay in the office until 7:00 p.m. to finish the procedure. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Guerra for any dental needs. You won't be sorry and you many even look forward to going to the dentist. I know I do! :-) read more

Dr Guerra is hands down the most HONEST and gentle dentist I have ever been to. I had a terrible accident in my 20's...my jaw wired shut and subsequently tmj plus years of tortuous cosmetic dentistry to get me to where I am today. My friend recommended Dr Guerra to me claiming he was very honest and would never try to sell me extra things plus was very gentle. I went to him and it was the first time I have ever felt comfortable and not dreaded going to an appointment. He is an awesome dentist and my two children go to him as well! We love Dr Guerra and his staff is great, too! We love his dental hygienist, Kira! She makes my kids feel super comfortable and going to the dentist is an easy thing for our family these days! :) read more

I just had another amazing experience at Dr. Guerra's dental office. I am convinced that there is no dentist in Santa Monica or anywhere who does the high quality work Dr. Guerra does! He is attentive and listens to the patient. I always know I am getting the best work there. He truly cares about the patients and explains things in clear language so that I understand exactly what needs to be done or what I should do to maintain good dental health. The staff is completely amazing, too!! read more

I worked with Dr Guerra for nearly 10 years as his hygienist before moving to Colorado. You should know that I always had great respect for his work but after moving to Colorado that respect has grown 10 fold! I actually fly back to California for him to do any and all work that I need! The doctors in Colorado seem to take no pride in their work and many are turning their offices over to corporations (IMO showing a complete lack of concern for patients and only caring about the bottom line). Dr Guerra not only takes pride in his work but also takes his time to make his work as close to perfection as he can. He stands behind the work he does and wants to make sure you are happy! His work ethic is beyond measure! I still miss working with him after being gone 2 1/2 years! We had a fantastic working relationship and I recommended everyone I knew to go to him and still do! I miss seeing my old patients and hope that one day I will be working side by side with him again until we both retire. You absolutely can not go wrong with this dentist! He is kind, gentle, and very sweet so if you have dental fears, he is your guy! I can say all of this because I worked there for long enough to know who he is, I only wish other doctors would take a lesson from this man, they would gain so much! read more

After having read so many ghastly dentist stories, I would like to recommend Dr. Guerra. He is one of a kind. He truly cares about his patients. I've spoken to a few in the reception area and they feel just as I do. He is also extremely gentle, something that is very hard to find. He also doesn't try to "sell me" just simply gives me options. I value and trust his experience and opinions. I live in L.A. which is about a half hour away but would travel anywhere just to see him. If you go to this dental office you will never want to go anywhere else! And no I'm not getting paid for this review! read more

O.K. I just left my favorite Dentist and went for coffee with a friend and just for kicks I looked up him on Yelp I was not shocked by all the five stars but thought the crazy review by one person and that persons daughter totally nuts!! This review is totally real and I would imagine someone like Dr. Guerre if indeed he reads it would turn red because he is simply the best and most humble human being I know. As a dentist he's incredible and has helped me beyond imagination, he is the very best dentist I have ever had the pleasure of knowing (here come's the part to embarrass him). I coach basketball in South Central for five years (actually used to, had some physical stuff and no longer do it.). Our mission was to get these kids college scholarships for young men who are gifted athletes. I had a few kids who couldn't afford a dentist, when I told Dr. G about this HE TREATED THEM FOR FREE!!! I have no reason to lie in this review I just truly think this man is a fantastic man and a wonderful dentist, PERIOD END OF SENTENCE!! read more

Anyone considering Dr. Guerra for their dentistry can feel rest assured they will be in great hands. I am in my 50's and after a lifetime of dentists ranging from bad to mediocre to "good" I can say that Dr. Guerra is in a class of his own. I now understand what good dentistry actually is. He is a rare find in his caring, his thoroughness and his standards of excellence in every aspect of his work. He is truly a man of character. I feel very fortunate that I have found a dentist with this level of skill that is near my home and is actually younger than I am so I can be certain I will have good dentistry for the rest of my life! read more

I have been going to Dr. Guerra for 12 years, and he is an excellent doctor. I've had some complicated dental needs and am a very nervous patient but his calm and professional manner, and his warm and thoughtful staff have seen me through. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

Dr. Guerra and his staff are fantastic! I've gone to him for years and have always been satisfied with the treatment I have received. He is extremely professional and easy to talk to. I never feel that he is trying to sell me on a procedure or anything cosmetic. He definitely cares only about the health of my teeth. His dental assistant Vilma is always friendly, and Elena, the new dental hygienist, is extremely gentle. Anyone who is giving a negative review is disgruntled for other reasons and has an obvious attitude problem. The dental practice is better off without patients like her. Looking at other reviews that she has given to other businesses, she is simply angry and negative. I highly recommend Dr. Guerra! read more

My entire family of 4 ( includes 2 kids) have been going for years. We wouldn't go anywhere else. He is thorough, personal and I appreciate tremendously that he and staff are honest. They aren't trying to sell you unnecessary procedures like a lot of dental offices now do. read more
