Great experience here! From the moment you walk in until you leave, the team here is very attentive and friendly. Today I came in for a cleaning service and was personally helped by Kaynaz. She was very friendly, gentle with my teeth, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the experience. Dr. E came in to give me my full assessment and was also very professional in guiding my experience and future goals for my dental health. The office is very clean and modern. A handful of the equipment they were using I had never seen before; you can tell they are really in-tune with the latest and best tech. Another nice perk is watching TV or apps while you're getting your teeth cleaned. Very nice touch! I'm very happy with my experience and couldn't recommend them enough read more

From the rooty to the "toothy" they are great! Customer service starts upon arrival! Always greeted with lovely smiles and acknowledges. I'm a huge fan and so is my husband! It helps that they are super close, too! read more

Today was my first visit with Dr. E and his amazing staff. You first walk in to be greeted with huge smiles and good vibes from the receptionist. I wish I knew her name! She was amazing! They send you all of your forms in advance so it's an easy process when you get there. I loved that! Met with Kathy the Dental Assistant. Kathy was professional, truly to her time to take images and ask all the questions needed. After that, met with Dr E and went over our plan for my dental success! I need this smile to be healthy and fantastic! My last stop was with the Dental Hygienist Nneka and will I tell you OH MY GAWD..... this one right here is like your best friend who truly has your back!!!!

I've been to many dental offices and this is by far the best one. The office is beautiful and modern and the staff is friendly and attentive. I appreciate their transparent approach in that they explained my dental options and cost thoroughly. Dr. E is a personable and attentive dentist who provides a great service. Glad to have found a dentist I can trust. P.S. They have TVs mounted above the dental area instead of blinding lights so I was able to watch Netflix while they worked. A welcome distraction while fixing my cavities. read more

Amazing dentist, beautiful office & super friendly staff. So happy I found them. Highly recommend.

Clean, welcoming, efficient dental office. The dentist is pretty straightforward and explains things in a chill common sense way, he shows you issues on the X-rays and the work that needs to be done. The staff that perform the cleanings perform cleanings very well, they feel like a deep massage just for the teeth/gums. The office is clean & inviting. They allow you to watch tv while you're getting work done as the tvs are positioned right above the operating seat. The views are also nice from the exam rooms. There is always a good R&B station playing in the background of the office. read more

I had read all the great reviews and was not disappointed. Dr. E and his staff are all top notch and made sure everything went smoothly. The rates were very fair and there was never an upsell that so many dentists do these days. I'm resting comfortably tonight after an extraction and a filled cavity and don't think it could have been a better experience. read more

Best experience at a dental practice I truly have had! Extremely professional, skilled, efficient as well as personable. The office is modern with high-tech equipment and offers comfortable seating so your visit is as enjoyable as can be. I have had x-rays, teeth cleaning, and bonding for a chipped tooth at this office. Highly recommend, thx Dr. E & Staff!! read more

Playa District Dental hands down gave me the absolute best Dental Experience I have ever had. The moment you walk in Ari and the staff greets you like family. The office staff were so kind, down to earth, patient, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They make you feel relaxed go over every single detail so that you are completely comfortable. The music playing in the office made me feel like I was at nice Spa with the flat screen TV enhanced the comfort zone. I could have drifted off into a nice nap. Dr. Eric Ligans aka Dr. E. puts the whole shebang together. I have never felt so safe and assured by a Dental staff in many years and with all the work I needed and had done, is a testament, that it had been years. I had a crown in the back of my mouth that was dethroned and kicked out of the Kingdom with 2 neighboring teeth barely holding on. Dr. E took care them with ease. I will be back and recommending everyone that I know... read more

Their mission is your health and comfort. They have taught me a lot about taking care of my teeth. I really appreciate everyone who works here. read more

I tried out this dental office on the heels of disappointing dental experiences - dental office with limited features where i had to travel to secondary sites for certain services; the secondary dental office nice staff but customer service was not responsive in a timely way. So I was on the DONE side when I reached out to PDD. My first interaction in the phone with Ari was a good start. She was warm and personable and I felt the office was willing to work with me since most of the interventions I was seeking were expensive and out of pocket. So with that known, to borrow a line fr another reviewer, I wanted someone who looked like me , had a fresh take on dentistry and work with my vision and care about my objective. I believe I found it. NOBODY loves going to the dentist and the day I can skip injections into my mouth, will be the greatest day to me. I appreciated the effort to make me comfortable. The part 1 of my treatment was technique and time intensive. I was literally there for 3 hours , but I did not feel like that way at all. I am looking for a one stop shop as my dental dreams are long. They were willing to work with me, so I guess, I have started working on my ultimate Dental Dreams. read more

Playa District Dental - This was the view from where I got my treatment! - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

An amazing, pain free experience. Playa District Dental are one of the most detailed, professional, courteous dentist offices out there. My teeth are whiter, smoother and just feel absolutely awesome. Dr Erik Ligans is an amazing dentist, cosmetic dentist and dental health professional. I drive a long way to see him because he is the best. I have family and friends who drive almost 5 hours to see Dr E. We all must "pull up on Dr E". You will be happy read more

Last night, I had a late-night craving and found myself sitting on the couch snacking on candy. At my big age, I should have known something was off when the candy that was supposed to be chewy was instead hard. As I continued to chew on the candy, the unthinkable happened: I found myself nursing a cracked tooth. I had not seen a dentist in years, as my last one had retired. I was nervous because I had a cracked tooth and did not have a regular dentist to call. This morning, I woke up and found myself on Yelp looking for a dentist who fit the criteria that I had set for myself. I wanted someone who used the latest technology, took my dental insurance, and hoped to find someone who looked like me. I came across Playa District Dental (Dr. E), which popped up after performing a search. I reviewed the recommendations and called his office to see if they could squeeze me in. I understood it was last minute, so I wasn't heartbroken when told me they could see tomorrow vs. today. I decided to peep at the dental office's website and was happy to see that a) they had one and b) it provided a menu of services that the office provided. After making the appointment, I hung up and continued my day. A few minutes later, I received a call from Ari, who advised that the doctor could see me today and was checking to see if I was available. I jumped up and headed toward Howard Hughes LA (HHLA) to see if the doctor could work his magic on my tooth. The building is freeway accessible (Howard Hughes exit) and across from Pepperdine University (West LA Campus) and Howard Hughes Promenade. I was impressed with the state-of-the-art and inviting ultramodern office space when I walked in. One of the first things I noticed was the music wafting throughout the space. This isn't your Grandmother's dental office; instead, this is your fly Aunt or Uncle's dental office that they referred you to! The kind where folks meet you and at some point during the conversation, ask, "Who's your dentist?" I joked that I only had $2 for services, but all joking aside, I was impressed with Ari, Sid, Courtney, and Diamond. The ladies gave first-class service during my entire visit. They made sure I was comfortable before, during, and after my services -- I found myself watching Netflix, which helped to ease my nerves. Dr. E--He's a walking billboard for why taking care of your teeth is important. He walks into the room, flashing his million-dollar smile, and talks to you like he's known you forever. He listens to your concerns and gives you feedback on what he will do and why. I wrote all this to say - I've found my new dentist! read more

An incredible dental experience. Professional and knowledgeable staff. The quality of care was excellent and exemplary, a complete team effort. I look forward to my next visit and can't wait to recommend to friends and family... read more

Highly recommended!!! - Great staff that makes the dentist visit feel fun - I have worked with a couple different hygienist & all 3 were great. - I had a bad experience with a filling from my previous dentist & Dr. E fixed it with no problem. I been able to eat on my right side ever since - They give great insight on keeping your teeth clean & can either provide or point you in the right direction for materials Lastly, shoe game better be up to par when you walk in !!!! read more

Dr. E and the offie is iconic. Staff is warm and friendly, the vibe is just right, they treat you like family. The office is beautiful, clean, and modern. Whether you want to watch tv or just stare out the window, there's not a bad view in the place. And most importantly, Dr. E is the man. He knows what he's doing and he's damn good at it. I went in for a crown procedure. It was painless, smooth, and fits just right. Couldn't recommend the office more to people. read more

I went to Playa District Dental for a quick visit after I thought I cracked a tooth. Turned out it wasn't cracked (thankfully). After X-Rays and a quick exam, I was recommended to have a deep cleaning which I haven't had done in a while. The tech that performed my deep cleaning was AMAZING. I was able to tolerate the procedure with only the numbing gel which for me was confirmation of how gentle and skilled they are here. I have a HUGE phobia of the dentist. It was such a pleasant visit, they gained a new return customer. I've scheduled my next appointment. The vibe in the office is friendly, upbeat, modern and the staff are very warm from the re options to the ladies in the back office. The dentist (Dr. E) is genuinely empathetic and listened to my fears and concerns with my past experiences pertaining to my oral care and made me feel with a little work my smile can be improved. I am actually excited for this journey to better oral care and health. Thanks Playa District Dental Team. read more

I started coming here after being referred by a couple of friends. It's in a very nice medical building close to the Cinemark 18 theater. The staff is diverse, and they're all very friendly. The hygienist that does my cleaning is very sharp and up to date on the best ways to keep teeth and gums healthy. Dr. E is a super cool dude. Very intelligent and confident in his abilities. I sadly needed a couple of fillings during my last appointment, but it was completely painless! Gotta give it up to him for that. I'll definitely come back for routine cleanings and any dental work I may need. read more

My first appointment with Dr. E, I was greeted with great care and with undivided attention. The entire staff is a breath of fresh of air. I went in for a regular check up and cleaning. The dental hygienist made the experience as pleasant as possible and provided quality care from start to finish, especially when she had to do a deeper and extensive cleaning in my back molars. The dental hygienist and dental assistant take their time do it right the first time. They also inform you of the details of the procedure beforehand so there are no surprises. After a thorough cleaning, Dr. E came to check on my teeth. Due to the extensive years of grinding, which have worn down my teeth, he offered some suggestions that would help, and wasn't aggressively pushing for me to choose an option, as some other dental offices I've visited. That in itself made the visit that much better. Being in the tech industry myself, I was very impressed with the modern and minimalist design of this dental office, as well as it being equipped with the latest technology. I look forward to my next visit, and have referred this office to my colleagues and friends. read more

This is the most friendly and welcoming dental staff I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Ari is so sweet and Sid is so reassuring and easy to talk to. Dr. E is very thorough and gentle while working. The whole staff is very communicative which made for a very smooth and enjoyable visit. The building is very well kept and the office is gorgeous! I initially came for a cleaning and walked out with more knowledge than I've ever had from any of my previous dentists. Although the office is quite the drive for me, it is well worth it. I completely recommend Dr. E for any of your dental needs. Pull up, you will not regret it. read more

Went to office. Turns out after a $200 "consultation" (x-rays and estimate), they do not offer same day Cerec crowns as advertised on the website. read more

So to be completely transparent, I booked with Dr. Ligans because I met him briefly during undergrad and since I was looking for a new dentist/cosmetic work, I wanted to give my business to someone I quote, unquote KNOW. I made an appt online, the process is very very easy, I completed all the new patient forms on my phone in maybe 4 minutes total. They are good about following up, reminding you of appts, even letting you know that there's been an opening and can move your appt to an earlier date! Ok - day of appt. First of all, PARK ACROSS THE STREET! The office is gorgeous, very hi-tech, marble, clean lines, floor to ceiling windows, THE BEST MUSIC I HAVE EVER HEARD IN A DENTIST OFFICE, and soooo much more that a lot of reviews have already mentioned. So....I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to the dentist. (Sorry Dr. E) but I am, the sounds, keeping my mouth open, not my cup of tea. Lucky for me, every staff member that looked inside my mouth was gentle and very kind/friendly and did I mention, gentle? I ended up deciding on Invisalign after Dr. E gave me some knowledge about crowns (which I thought I wanted). And Sydney (sp?) did a cleaning for me. Let me tell you, I haven't had a cleaning in like two years ok? Not because of COVID, because I don't like going to the dentist! LOL. Anyway, she had her work cut out for her...but still she was patient and as gentle as possible while still being very thorough. The personal flat screens were a nice distraction. Aaaaaaanyway, all in all, great dentist, great staff, great office, 500/10 stars. I highly recommend making Dr. E your new dentist. read more

Dr.Erik and his staff literally made my visit today PAINLESS. I had a couple of procedures done and they were gentle yet efficient. I've never had a deep cleaning that was pain free. I literally told the hygienist (I forgot her name) that I wanted to hug her when she was done. I felt nothing! Dr. E is very gentle but thorough and I am so happy I found his practice. Not to mention enjoying Netflix and someone's fire playlist! I don't usually do this but I highly recommend you "pull up on Dr. E" if you are in the LA area. read more

The entire staff was so nice and informative. I received great care, insurance coverage was more than I expected! The most progressive dental instruments and camera imaging. The office is beautiful and the care was the best I've received in years. Location is perfect, modern decor and technology. Each room has flat screen TV's over the chair and imaging screens so you can peek :) at the work being done if you're brave. I give this office 5 stars! read more

Highly recommend these very professional, hype and talented crew. A very comfortable atmosphere, music is poppin and the staff is super nice and accommodating. Dr.E is very informative, educated and delicate with his dental work. It is also a plus to have someone work on your teeth that looks like me (black doctor). N'neka, the hygienist restored my gums and educated me on best practices for flossing and keeping my gums nice and healthy. Courtney and Sidney in the front office are always kind and considerate and trying to find me deals through my insurance to save me money for my visit. Please consider this dental office.
