Dr Huang was my primary dentist for about 2 years. During that time I visited the office around 6-8 times. He is very friendly, but if you need anything more than a cleaning I would not recommend River Dentistry. Overall, the team -- doctors and staff -- are too inexperienced to give me the confidence to come back. I decided to move on after a series of issues Dr Huang had replacing two fillings on a molar. The fillings in question were nearly 15 years old and Dr Huang recommended repairing them. The first solution he proposed was using a patch which he applied but fell out within the week. The second solution was to replace the top of the filling, but this part also started wearing out within a few months. On the third visit, Dr Huang recommended replacing the filling entirely with more "durable" ones. These are the fillings I now have which wer under-filled and already eroding after about a year. I have very good dental hygiene and these are my only two fillings. I will need to have them replaced again, but I won't be coming back to Dr Huang for a fourth fix to the same tooth. I am not sure why but all the assistants working there seem very shy, and almost unintelligible in their mumbling. On several occasions they were tasked with the cleaning, and I didn't feel that they were particularly thorough. Unfortunately this adds to my lack of confidence in the staff at River Dentistry. read more

I respect the kindness of the staff and Dr. Huang. However, would not recommend since they don't specialize in my needs and was in a consult for 12 minutes and informed repetitive information I already knew about my impacted tooth and procedure. Afterwards, charged a fee of $50 for the consult which I gained nothing, but a referal to a con artist oral surgeon nearby. Would NOT recommend at all. read more

I am so grateful I found this dental office. I'm a recent transplant from Texas with 22 years in the dental field. Due to a recent dental emergency my neighbor recommended River Dentistry. They were so friendly and accommodating. I was impressed with Tonya and her knowledge of my new dental insurance. The staff as a whole was wonderful and I'm not easily impressed. I am happy we found our new dental home. read more

I had a dental emergency on the day of a big event. My regular dentist my brother in law was out of town. This was the second office I had called and felt pessimistic but the office manager , Tonya was extremely accommodating and seemed to want to help me. Once I arrived I had VIP treatment from the entire staff. Dr. Charlie and his team are warm caring professionals. I am so relieved to have found them during a crisis. I highly recommend !!! I was treated like a long term patient although it was an emergent visit. IMHO it speaks highly to the quality of care provided, which was above the usual and customary , the doctor, office manager and staff genuinely care. It was a wonderful experience during an otherwise stressful time. read more

This was an amazing and surprising experience for me. After being tricked into paying money I didn't really have to spend on treatments that didn't work in the past (and paying high rates disguised as discounts too) in the past, I've been avoiding dentists. But I knew I needed deep cleaning - at least. They were reasonably priced without making me feel like I had to be grateful. They were gentle but thorough. I'm on the path to better gum health within my very limited budget now. Updated: I have been coming here a year now and my comments still stand. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Huang for over four years and I always come out of my appointments with a smile at him and his staff's skill as well as professionalism, and I would recommend him to anyone. He is not only patient but he is also knowledgeable, friendly, and cares for his patients. read more

Had such an awesome experience! I hadn't been to the dentist in years and was very nervous to go in. But the staff was super nice and made it a very easy experience. The doctor was great too, he explained everything really well. I'd highly suggest going here especially if you're nervous about going to the dentist. read more

I just had Zoom! teeth whitening done at River Dentistry because I had excellent results with an Invisalign treatment earlier this year and they were offering an $89 special for the whitening. I was not disappointed. The technician knew exactly what she was doing and did it efficiently and professionally. Best of all, I love the results. The entire staff is friendly and helpful and it's always easy to get an appointment. If you're looking for an excellent dental office, check out River Dentistry with Dr. Charlie Huang and staff. They're outstanding! read more

My experiences with River Dentistry and Dr. Charlie continue to surpass my expectations. His staff is great and I always get right in on time. Parking is fast and it's very easy to get to and that's a surprise for downtown LA. read more

I have been looking for a dentist in downtown LA , and happily found River dentistry. The cleaning was better than any other I've had in LA and the service and professionalism was top notch. I'd highly recommend them, thank you River Dentistry. read more

I had my Invisalign done here with dr Charles. I had to wear about a year longer than we had planned. There's never a wait here. They are good about getting you in and out. read more

First time at River Dentistry today. Staff was wonderful. Front desk extremely nice and efficient. Anna the hygienist was very thorough and conscientious. Dr. Juang is the best. Highly recommend. read more

Located on the second floor with the big words" DENTIST." Such a convenient location! Clean, quick, convenient, easy. Came in for my teeth cleaning and xray during my lunch break and I was done and out within an hour. Awesome staff. read more

Bad manner, although dentist is professional, the manager charges much more than we discussed before. Totally disaster place to go!

I followed Dr. Charles Huang from Zen Dental to River Dentistry when he opened up his own practice back in December of 2012 and my experience with Dr. Huang has been amazing! I've gotten everything done from deep cleanings to invisalign and he has made every dental appointment as painless and enjoyable as possible. Dr. Huang is professional, knowledgeable, and kind. His staff is extremely friendly and always willing to work around my busy schedule. I can always reach them via email or phone and receive a prompt response in return. I love that they are conveniently located downtown and are open on Saturdays!!! This was perhaps the biggest selling point upon first joining River Dentistry, but now that I've been a patient for so long, I can't imagine going elsewhere. Dr. Huang is always very thorough in explaining what procedures will be performed and makes me feel comfortable every step of the way. Him and his staff are also experts at navigating the perplexities of insurance and helping me figure out what each procedure will cost. He offers very competitive prices and doesn't try to upsell you with unnecessary procedures or hidden charges. I highly recommend Dr. Huang and River Dentistry. Come here and your mouth (and wallet) with thank you! read more

River Dentistry was a pleasure from start to finish. I was on a tight schedule but they managed to fit me in at a convenient time. I had a filling and Charlie and the team made me feel very relaxed and at ease. He also gave me some good advice and went above and beyond on the work that he performed, in a way that put me at ease through out. I didn't feel a thing and had a fairly sizeable filling done. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for somewhere to feel in safe hands and a place you can be happy to revisit in the future. read more

River Dentistry is the only place where i go to do anything related to my oral hygiene. The staff and doctors are incredible. They make even the visit to the dentist pleasurable. I have been coming here for the past 3 years now, and i don't see myself changing any time soon. They are courteous, the office is clean, there is parking in the garage for the hotel and they validate. One of the things i love about this place is their ability to be on time. If you have an appointment at 11:00 AM, rest assured the latest you will be sitting on the doctor's chair is 11:05. I have been to places where after one hour i was still in the waiting room hoping to be called in next. Never again. I love this place and i am staying here. I am due for a cleaning this week anyways. read more

I took advantage of the Amazon Local deal on teeth whitening and Dr.Huang and his staff were great. They truly cared and I felt taken care of as teeth whitening can be a bit painful and difficult. They couldn't have been better. He is real and that is something I appreciate! They care about the results and knew what they were doing! read more

This place is absolutely fantastic. I actually enjoy going to the dentist. Dr. Huang and his staff are super friendly and professional. He's great at making sure you know not only what you need to do to keep your mouth healthy, but why. Validated parking for only $4 downtown is a MAJOR plus as well :) read more

Dr. Charlie is the best! I am not a fan of dentistry (really-who is?), but Dr. Charlie really works hard to make you comfortable and your treatment pain free. I have had fillings, crown replacements, and cleanings with him. He was wonderful each time. He is up on the latest techniques and options. He takes his time explaining things so you have comfort knowing you are getting exactly what you need. The location is convenient for downtown workers, and I also like his Saturday hours. He works with your insurance. I have had many dentists through the years, but Dr.Charlie is a keeper! read more

Been a patient at River Dentistry ever since Dr. Charles Huang took over the location from Dr. Kathy Maasoumi a few years back. "Dr. Charlie" always lays out options, explains things in lay terms, is highly professional and cares deeply about his patients. I've had to have a tooth extraction, root canals/crowns in the pst few years, and Dr. Charlie and his staff always make me feel at ease and makes me as comfortable as possible. He has a light touch and I've rarely felt any pain in the few procedures he's had to perform. I appreciate the text reminders for my appointments. Was convenient for me when I worked in DTLA, but now that I don't work there (live in South Bay), I'll continue to drive/bus it to the Bonaventure to receive excellent service from Dr. Charlie and the River Dentistry staff. read more

Dr. Charlie And he's staff were friendly, truthful, professional and guided me thru procedures in the best way! I recommend his office is a must go! It's in a beautiful building In downtown Los Angeles. Left the office with confidence and a great smile. read more

What can I say about Dr. Charlie that hasn't been said? Because of his high standards, he only hires the best. He's awesome, his staff is awesome, we're all awesome when Dr. Charlie is done with us. read more

I bought two vouchers on Amazon Local for a "Dental Exam, Crystal Cleaning and X-Ray", one for me and one for my husband. I went in for my appointment and they cleaned and polished my teeth. The next week my husband went in and they told him that his voucher wasn't for a cleaning. All they did was polish his teeth and x-ray him. They kept telling him if he paid $90 for their sonic cleaning they could get the plaque off his teeth. (they got the plaque off my teeth with regular old dentist tools) It's very strange that we got two completely different services with the same voucher and from the same place. I paid $39 for these cleanings, which is a normal promotional price for a dental cleaning, very expensive for a polishing. Confused and disappointed with the inconsistency. read more

Dr. Charles Huang is the best in town! We have been a patient of his for 2 years. Dr. Charles is gentle, patient and does amazing work! I had really old work that needed to be corrected and my smile has never felt better! We now bring the whole family, he is great with kids...I highly recommend River Dentistry. The office is clean and the staff is very friendly! read more

Dr. Huang is - by far - the best dentist I have ever had in my entire life. He is incredibly skilled and has made every procedure I've had at River Dentistry (cleaning, fillings, and Zoom) painless...and with optimal results. I never have to wait: here, a 1pm appointment means I am actually seen at 1pm! Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference. I've had 4 appointments here so far, and each one has been great. Above all, I love this dentist office because they are skilled, honest, and upfront. I've been to so many shady dentist offices in the past that felt more like used car sales lots. Dr. Huang's office is nothing like that. Only good things to say about the Dr and the entire staff. read more

If you have dental PPO insurance, I highly recommend Dr. Charles Huang! He and his team are extremely friendly, honest with you about everything, and provide phenomenal services. They will always let you know any charges ahead of time and will never bill you for hidden fees. Hands down, best dentist I've ever had. read more

My back teeth have been bothering me for a while. I went to 3 different dentist before I found dr. Huang. He was very professional and gave me a myriad of options knowing that my insurance was not very helpful. We scheduled for me to have an extraction which I was very nervous about. He was very patient with me answering all my questions and the procedure seemed to go very quickly. I am so happy I found his practice. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great office! Dr Charlie Huang is very knowledgable and understanding. I've always had a problem going to the dentist (anxiety from past experiences and bad problems with TMJ) but the staff puts me at ease. They're very flexible with scheduling, which is important for me and are really good about sending out reminders :) read more

Great dr and lovely receptionist helped me on my honeymoon today i had a broken veneer and needed a new one they arranged to fit me in the schedule to help me out. Thank you. read more

One of the best staff and treatment I've ever experienced. The appointment was on time.

Love Dr. Charles! I am extremely afraid of the dentist (ha) and have had anxiety about going my whole life. But every since I met Dr. Charles he is the only one that has been able to put my nerves at ease! He is very professional, very gentle and has always gone above and beyond for my husband and I! We are so happy to have met him and now I can say I don't mind going to the dentist so much! read more

Dr. Huang is so nice, and the office is awesome! He really helped me when I was in a pinch and needed a crown. I'm so glad I found this place! And my teeth have never looked better. read more

Beware! Only go to River Dentistry if you're looking for the best dentist in LA! Dr. Charlie Huang is the most approachable, professional and talented dentist I ever let huff my bad breath. I'm usually pretty nervous when I go to the dentist but there's something very calming about Dr. Huang. His practice is now in the lobby of the Bonaventure hotel. It's super easy to get in and out of there and somehow when I just get a standard cleaning my teeth are considerably whiter then when I go anywhere else. Plus I really like Dr. Huang's energy and attitude. He strikes that balance between being friendly and professional. Now I'm gushing about my dentist, but there's really no alternative. River Dentistry is a slam dunk. read more

For the first time ever I can say I like going to the dentist. I have been to River Dentistry twice and both experiences were lovely. The staff was very welcoming and Dr. Charles is fantastic. He made me feel calm and included me in the process by explaining what he was going to do. On my first visit he made a treatment plan and the receptionist worked with my crazy schedule to set my next appointments. I love that they open some Saturdays and Sundays. Huge plus that they take my insurance as well. read more

This is a top notch establishment all around. I moved to LA and was left to find a new dentist, which is jarring. I turned to yelp after a friend suggested it for dentists. I first went to the office on Sundays, which was a dream. I found the office staff and techs to be professional, caring and effective. I don't have a lot of free time (even to deal with my own health) so I appreciate an office that runs like a well-oiled machine. I am so happy with my new dentist. Kudos! read more

River dentistry is amazing!!! Dr. Charlie is very efficient, knowledgable and very conscious of you as a patient. He makes sure you fully understand the state of your teeth and walks you through every step. He caters to you and is always concerned about your comfortableness in the procedures he performs. He is also very conscious of the price procedures cost and your health care plan. Unlike other dentists I have been to, he does not force unnecessary procedures on you to help his business. The front desk is friendly and also knowledgeable about dental costs and health care plans.Oh, and the hours are so flexible and accommodating. I have been to him for yearly exams, received a crown and 1 session of zoom whitening. I will continue to go to river Dentistry because they take a dental visit experience to the next level! read more

I switched to Dr. Charlie after realizing that my prior dentist was likely over-billing me. I received River Dentistry's promotional email in my Inbox so I visited for an Invisalign assessment. Their office manager, Vanessa, is an amicable, accommodating person. Dr. Charlie himself is polite and displays good bed-side manners. He is young, knowledgable & answered my questions clearly. Not once did he attempt to upsell me onto something unlike my previous dentist. Vanessa and Dr Charlie were very kind in scheduling me for a couple of late-in-the-day, last-minute appointments and in once instance Vanessa stayed past regular office hours to accommodate my schedule. Currently, I receive on-going care from their office and would like to keep it this way for the foreseeable future :) read more

Dr. Charlie does it again! I wish I could have had Dr. Charlie as my dentist for my entire life. It would have saved me so much trouble and money. Today I had an appointment with him to get my lower left wisdom tooth removed. I was so scared... literally shaking in my boots. I read a bunch of horror stories online before my appointment (terrible idea) and was thissss close to rescheduling but decided to go in anyway and speak with Dr. Charlie. After a set of X-rays, Dr Charlie was gentle, yet firm in explaining that the tooth needed to be extracted. He numbed me up pretty well and got started. I was thinking this would probably be about an hour to hour and a half procedure, but Dr. Charlie extracted my tooth so quickly! It was literally like 15 min!!! Wow! Dr. Charlie is beyond professional, quick, and thoroughly explains the process step by step. He is the best dentist ever. His office is clean and his staff is amazing and so helpful. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate Dr. Charlie a 12!!! Thank you River Dentistry and Dr Charlie. You all are the best. read more

I was recommend by my brother & I'm so glad I was. Dr. Charlie & his staff are friendly, professional & provide quality work; all important characteristics when locating a great dentist. Nothing feels better than walking out of the dentist's office with your teeth feeling squeaky clean! Will definitely continue to see Dr. Charlie & his wonderful staff! read more
