    Don't worry, Be HAPPY

    The dentist's office is usually a place that makes me nervous, but Paul Jang Dentistry is different. Every time I visit here I feel genuinely happy Today, I had a dental cleaning--it was so thorough and refreshing Thank you, Paul Jang Dentistry!

    Jang did not double check his assistant's work and this is what resulted. I will never let these people touch my mouth again.

    **Google Reviews did not allow me to post my review, which leads me to believe this business can flag negative reviews there. Very shady.** 4 yrs of botched work, yet I didn't leave a bad review even after I had to go into Jang's office 5 times because he and his assistants made poor temporary crowns that kept breaking or popping out, even though I ate carefully (1.5 hr total commute each time). I didn't leave a bad review after Jang said he was skilled in root canals and did mine instead of referring me to a specialist, only for it to fail, leading to a painful infection and extraction/implant. He refused to take responsibility and got angry and defensive when I suggested he performed a failed root canal. I was so upset by his response and lack of remorse, but I held my tongue. But after what he and his office did to my tooth most recently, I feel it's important to share my experience. I went in for an opinion on an aching molar, which he said had decay under a large filling and that he recommended a crown. I decided to do the procedure with him even though my gut told me to run--his services are more affordable than most dentists (for reasons I now understand). He removed the decay and told me I might be on the verge of needing a root canal, so he'd put a temporary crown on, and I needed to assess the pain for a few days. He disappeared, and his dental assistant made and put on the temporary crown. She told me I was good to go, but I asked if an X-ray was needed. She said it wasn't. Jang didn't come back to double-check her work or see if I was all good. I had a bad feeling, but I wrongly trusted them and left. I experienced more pain than I ever had as the anesthesia wore off, so I immediately emailed Jang. He said if this was the case, I definitely needed a root canal. However, when I looked at the temporary crown, it looked all wrong--the top of the crown at the gingiva (gum) was noticeably high, and I could see it was cutting into the gum. I missed 3 days of the first classes of my semester because the pain was unbearable--I had severe migraines and couldn't eat or talk. I had to take 800mg of ibuprofen and use medical MJ for 4 nights just to sleep, but I still woke up every hour because of the pain. I finally saw a specialist 4 days later. The dentist couldn't find a reason for a root canal but saw that the temporary crown was poorly fitted and too high around the edges, cutting deeply into my gums. Jang's assistant had also used a stronger cement for the temporary crown that caked around the edges and burrowed into my gums, which was visible in the X-rays. I've attached photos of the significant damage caused to my gum by Jang's temporary crown--there are large holes around the tooth, the gum is torn open, separated from the tooth, and raw. I was shocked that a temporary crown could cause this level of damage--this was the first time I had ever seen or heard of this. If Jang had taken two minutes to check his work and take an X-ray, he would've seen that the crown and cement were problematic. The crown bite was also far too high, causing severe trauma in the inert tooth below and intensifying the pain. Furthermore, Jang finished the decay removal without a build-up and just put a crown on top, even though he informed me there was a nerve dangerously close to the surface. The specialist was surprised to see that a build-up wasn't done, as this is typically necessary when the nerve is nearly exposed. How can a temporary crown cause THIS much damage? I had the most agonizing experience here, and the pictures prove it. I was afraid to speak up about the challenging experiences I faced because my entire family goes to his office, but after this, they're not going anymore. I am relieved to finally share my experience honestly and caution others based on what I've been through. UPDATE--4 days after removal of the temporary crown: I am still in so much agony because of the awful ditch Jang's temporary crown dug around my tooth. I have been woken up every night because of the horrible, aching pain. I am unable to eat solid foods. My quality of life has significantly been ruined EVERY single time Jang has worked on my teeth. I cannot recommend avoiding him enough. Like, come on. There are dentists in Ventura County who don't have reviews saying "he's inexperienced," or "his root canals failed," or "his temporary crown wrecked my gums and tooth." The fact is that Jang hasn't been a dentist long enough to avoid mistakes. Is sacrificing your health, well-being, time, and quality of life worth the few hundred dollars you might save from using his services? Please don't do yourself a disservice by believing all the good reviews because there IS a chance his short career will translate into negligent botchery. Please go to a more experienced dentist. I regret ever coming across this man. For 4 yrs he has wasted my time and caused me so much PTSD. Please learn from my mistake and don't go to him.

Treatments…read morewere not fully explained, "treatment plans" that I was asked to sign were insufficiently clear, and work done was much more severe than had been explained. (Imagine signing a plan with a chimney sweep who listed "sweep chimney, wipe each brick in chimney, and/or remove chimney". You'd expect to be clued-in if the last option was being pursued, right? But, why's it even listed that way??) The proverbial straw on the camel's back was when I was told by the dentist, while she basically had both hands in my mouth, that she believed "every single word" that Trump was saying at the time. "But not about the virus, right?", I asked; "Especially that", she answered. "You really drank the Koolaid", I suggested; "It's all a joke," she replied. This was late spring 2020, when it was increasingly clear that such a position was moronic - particularly for a healthcare professional. Vote however you like. Think whatever you want. But don't discount a pandemic, while providing health services, with your hands in my facehole. I found a new dentist immediately, and followed the given procedure to transfer my records - but that took months, including two letters and several phone calls. I postponed writing this review to make sure there was nothing else needed from them before I burned this bridge. But I'll never go back, I'm embarrassed that I continued going for as long as I did, and I'm somewhat comforted to see that others here have had similar experiences and that it was, as I've come to realize, terrible service - not me.

However, I have had repeated issues with the office manager that have made my visits frustrating. I regularly receive reminder texts and calls confirming my appointments. But when I arrive, I am often told that they do not have proper authorization from my insurance and am asked to wait. This should have been verified in advance before confirming my appointment. During my last visit, instead of helping resolve the issue, the office manager kept taking outside calls one after another. I even told her that if she was busy, I would be happy to reschedule, but instead of handling the situation professionally, she spoke to me in a very unprofessional and confrontational way. There are many dental offices in this area, but I continue to come because the dentist is excellent. However, I am concerned that because of the poor customer service from the office manager, patients may choose to go elsewhere, and the practice could lose customers.

I know that's weird, but I just enjoy the feeling of really clean teeth. LOL I had had a bad dentist experience with my last dentist and it made me not want to go. So, I asked my friends for recommendations and Dr. Salem's name kept coming up again and again. I needed to change my dental insurance from HMO to PPO - and it was worth it. Even if it's a tad more expensive, I'll end up saving money not having to cover trumped up false charges that I experienced before coming to Dr. Salem. First, Wendy is kind and knowledgeable. She mans the front desk and is the perfect person to welcome patients with her warm hospitality. Cece gave me a tour of their office and was genuinely friendly. She's Dr. Salem's right-hand-woman and made me feel comfortable, even through a dozen x-rays. She's had a love of dentistry since her youth and is the perfect addition to this stellar team. Dr. Salem introduced herself and shook my hand. Her demeanor is professional and nurturing. I immediately felt like I was in good hands. Dr. Salem's exam is also quite thorough - with examinations of my throat, jaw, and tongue. I was very impressed with her knowledge and care. I can confidently recommend Dr. Salem and her staff. And though I didn't meet Addy this visit, I'm looking forward to meeting her at my next cleaning appointment.
