I don't usually write reviews for dental offices, but my experience here was so exceptionally…read morepositive that I had to share. This review is specifically for Dr. Patrick, who recently replaced a dental crown of mine that broke after four years. Dr. Patrick is a true artist. His precision, attention to detail, and bedside manner are entirely unmatched, even during the clinic's busiest hours. Throughout the entire procedure, he kept me fully informed and painstakingly ensured I wasn't experiencing a single moment of pain or discomfort. Because I grind my teeth, my natural teeth are a bit on the smaller side, which meant it took some extra time and meticulous effort to resize and reshape the new crown to align perfectly with my jaw. I tend to avoid confrontation, and I think Dr. Patrick picked up on that. He looked me straight in the eye and encouraged me to speak up if anything felt even a tiny bit off, insisting that it had to be absolutely perfect to protect my bite and jaw alignment long-term. I really appreciated that extra push. Truthfully, I might have held my tongue and settled for "good enough" otherwise. (In hindsight, that's probably what happened with my former dentist in Irvine who did my original crown.) The difference in quality between this crown and my first one is night and day. I found out later that my old crown was actually too big, causing an asymmetrical bite. This time, I have absolute confidence that Dr. Patrick got it perfect right from the start. To top it all off, Dr. Patrick personally followed up a few days after my appointment to ensure everything was still feeling great. If you want a dentist who genuinely cares about both the artistry of his work and the comfort of his patients, look no further.

When I review a restaurant, it boils down to one question: "Is the food made with love?" For…read moredentistry, the question becomes: "Are my teeth made with love?" I can vehemently vouch for Dr. Erica, Dr. Patrick, and their incredible staff at Bello. (Btw, this review is long overdue.) Not only is their work exceptional, but they possess the impressive ability to transform the terrifying, dreadful experience of dental work into a completely pain-free, almost pleasant routine. Here, your teeth are absolutely made with and handled with love. My journey here began after I cracked my dental crown on a Trader Joe's Ridge Cut kettle chip (aka the hardest chip known to man), leaving me in desperate need of an emergency replacement. As a recent casualty of the tech layoffs in LA, I am currently navigating life without dental insurance. Crowns are notoriously expensive. When I discovered that my previous insured dentist was now wildly outside my price range, I started shopping around the LA area for a quality, affordable alternative. The more offices I called, the more a quick trip across the border to Tijuana for cheap dental work--as a friend suggested--started looking like a sane, viable option. Luckily, I was saved from figuring out those logistics when I stumbled upon Bello Dental in Montebello. Not only did they offer manageable pricing for out-of-pocket patients, but their stellar reviews across both Yelp and Google backed it up. From the start, booking was a breeze; the receptionist was kind, knowledgeable, and highly accommodating. The actual visit went just as smoothly, despite the fact that I arrived as a bumbling bundle of nerves. In fact, I was so anxious that I accidentally bit my poor dental hygienist's finger during the initial exam. I was mortified, but she was an absolute sweetheart about it, calmly explaining every step of the process and even reassuring me that the X-rays exposed me to no more radiation than stepping out into the sun. When it was time for the procedure, Dr. Erica injected the numbing agent and gently removed the remaining pieces of my cracked crown. She took a mold for the lab, and then crafted a temporary resin crown to protect the tooth in the meantime. Throughout the entire process, she was calm, patient, and thoroughly professional, constantly checking in to ensure I wasn't in any pain. She was incredibly meticulous about aligning the height of the temporary crown perfectly with my bite. You can tell she is a woman of precision who takes immense pride in her craft and her patients' comfort. I would honestly trust this team with my life--and I will certainly be trusting them with my teeth from now on.

Two years later and I'm still going strong with this dental office! I drive about an hour just to…read morecome here, and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon. My hygienist, Johana, is the sweetest and has such a gentle touch. She always makes sure I'm comfortable and, most importantly, makes every visit as painless as possible. I also started my Invisalign journey here, and everything has gone smoothly so far. Even though I don't see Dr. D as often now, he's always been very intentional about making sure I leave happy and that my results are exactly where they should be. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and the outcome. I don't see him as much now which is actually a great sign because it means we've been able to maintain a healthy smile! Highly recommend!

From the moment I walk in, I feel genuinely cared for. Abby at the front greets you warmly and has a way of putting you at ease before you even sit down. Dr. Shay and Sally have been my team and I truly couldn't ask for better. They're endlessly patient and kind, and you can just tell they actually care about you as a person, and you're not just an appointment on the schedule. The whole staff is like that (I just have worked more with Abby, Dr.Shay, and Sally). It's consistent and it's real and genuine. I've since moved further away and I happily make the hour-long commute every time, because there's no one else I'd trust with my care. I recently got an implant on one of my front teeth, which was the end of a long process that started with Invisalign and I'm beyond grateful I did all of it here. The results are everything I hoped for and more, but honestly what I'm most grateful for is the care and kindness I received every step of the way. I couldn't ask for more.

My husband visited this dental office during an emergency due to a severe toothache. Long story…read moreshort, after undergoing a root canal and spending nearly $6,000, the crown that was placed came off just a couple of months later. He returned to the office, and the crown was recemented. Unfortunately, it fell off again afterward. When he went back for a second time, the office wanted to take additional X-rays, and the office manager, Angie, informed him that there would be a charge to recement the crown if they were able to do so. My husband questioned why he should be charged when the crown had already failed twice within a very short period. It seemed reasonable to expect the office to stand behind their work. Instead, Angie stated that the crown came off because he had not been consistent with his dental checkups. I found that comment both unprofessional and inappropriate. As mentioned, we only sought treatment at this office because it was an emergency and our regular dentist was unavailable after hours. My husband routinely receives his cleanings and dental checkups throughout the year. As a Director in the customer service industry, I would never speak to a client in that manner or make assumptions about their personal habits without knowing the facts. I am extremely disappointed with how this situation was handled. The lack of accountability and the way we were treated left a very negative impression. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this office.

Beware consumers. This place is a financial abuser. I have…read moreDelta Dental PPO and they have a Dentist there that accepts this type of insurance. However, without notice, they placed me with a "floating" dentist that is not covered by my Delta Dentist insurance. WHY????? This was purposely done and they charged me whatever they wanted. Sad that the clients needs were highly abused. As a result, just for cleaning and X-rays ONLY, I was at THEIR financial mercy and they overcharged me an exuberant amount of money, way over $3000. Per Delta, some of the charges (at least 4 in my account) were part of the service already charged. Why were those codes added separately? Thank God I checked. No bueno. Just sending the consumer a quick reminder that though the place looks decent, the "nice" fast talking staff is NOT really looking out for you. I highly "do not" recommend this place. BEWARE!
