My experiences with dentists ran the full spectrum -- from the types who heavily upsell you while your at their mercy in the chair, to the callous kind who literally don't give a sh*t about your aches and pains. Dr. Basson and his team stand above all my previous encounters. The staff are warm and friendly from the get-go. The clinic is well-appointed and warm, with modern equipment that makes for a smoother, faster dental experience. They mention services that I might benefit from, but it never felt pushy. It felt informational and conversational. And the dental experience itself was great. I hadn't had a cleaning in a while but they took care of me throughout. I also came back to have 3 fillings replaced and was done in under 30 mins. Dr. Basson is now my dentist moving forward. My mission is to make sure my husband keeps his first appointment so we can both be patients of his. read more

Smile Now Dental studio is the best all around. The office is beautiful, and inviting. The staff makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in and the results were better than I ever could imagine. Dr. Basson and his staff were skilled, professional, and truly awesome and I'm so grateful for my new smile! Thanks again guys! read more

Great spot, so glad my partner recommended me here! Their office is very clean and comfortable, every employee I interacted with was kind and informative. Work was done well, about as pleasant as any dental work can be! I've had bad experiences with previous dental offices, super pleased with how my visit here went. read more

I had an infection that required antibiotics and a root canal. They saw me on Sat for diagnosis and medication. Tuesday they did the root canal. He was fast, pleasant and it was pain free. His office staff are lovely and competent. I will be returning! read more

I've been going to him for a couple years and I know he cares for his patients. The staff is very kind and efficient and always helpful . The office is very clean and has an upscale vibe to it . I would highly recommend this office . read more

The staff is very nice and they are high tech. Doctor and assistant are very professional. read more

Thanks to my friend's recommendation, I came here to do a teeth whitening session and it was a really positive experience. The dental office is really clean and professional. Parking is easy as there is a parking lot right behind the dental studio. The entire process was smooth and quick. All the instructions were clearly explained to me and in just one and a half hours, I came out with sparkling, white teeth! read more

I started going here maybe about 2 years ago and everything was great and I even recommended friends as I was recommended there. Then they moved to a new location and that's when the issues started. Chew doesn't seem to know what's going on and couldn't explain anything! I was called 4 days before my appointment and was told that they don't take my Insurance anymore, do to none payment which wasn't true. What!!!! Then when I called them I was basically given the runaround. Just be honest and say you don't take medical clients. read more

First time Deep cleaning with Dr . Rohit.The result came out great! Modern ,clean and friendly staff :)

I'm hesitant to praise this place because then too many people would find out and it would be nearly impossible to book an appointment. This is is L.A. county after all. So anyway, Dr Basson is gentle, his staff friendly and they do everything to make a patient feel at ease. They know what they're doing and actually listen to your concerns. I had to stop going to them because of Covid, and also Denti-Cal back then covered only the basics. I needed roit canals. I went to another, but they concerned themselves with expensive procedures, and ignored basic things like: cavities? Granted they did a good job on my crowns, but I think they also made unnecessary procedures. I returned to this place. It is clean and well organized, and they don't seem rushed, yet they don't waste time either. They are very thoughtful and thorough. What else can I say? read more

This place ROCKS! Seriously, I don't normally write Yelp reviews, but I am just so legitimately pleased with how I was treated here I wanted to go the extra mile in return. I came in here after another dental place screwed up my service. The dentist I had here was very friendly and patient and explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it. He made me feel very involved in my own dental heath rather than an animal at the vet, and I really appreciate it! The staff and hygienists were also very friendly and made me feel very at ease and made using my insurance really easy. So happy to have switched here; I'm just so excited to have a dentist's office I can trust after such a bad experience somewhere else. Can say I'm legit excited to go back in 6 months! read more

The whole staff at Smile Now Dental are amazing. Friendly kind and patient. Dr. Bassoon is very patient and gave me a thorough explanation of my treatment. Johanna and Chu are very sweet. The office is clean and organized. The staff here make my experience of coming to the dentist pleasant. Thank you all for your wonderful service. read more

We've been going here for the last 8 months. The front office is always helpful and pleasant. The hygienist is very friendly and kind, and the dentist is gentle, approachable and professional. I've been to so many dental offices where I just feel like they are trying to scare you into buying more expensive cleanings and additional services. This office takes our insurance, is clean, professional and respectful of their patients. read more

...however the actual dental service was another matter. I paid for a deep cleaning-I didn't get a deep cleaning; I got two sessions of light cleaning of a few teeth on each side of my mouth. There was no examination of each tooth, no tarter removal, no anesthesia or a number designation of the depth of each gum for each tooth. There was no tooth polishing. There was no discussion of gum disease prevention or treatment scheduling. There cannot be a deep cleaning without anesthesia. ...however, the faculty was clean, the staff wore masks, gloves and face shields. read more

They did a great job cleaning my teeth and talked me through what other work needed to be done for a healthy mouth. I also loved the recommendations they gave for me to level up my dental hygiene routine: water flossing? Great idea. Totally painless! Even with a cavity fill. read more

Dr Basson and staff are Great. They have been very attentive to my health issues I have had complicated health problems and Dr Basson has addressed them all. He's very understanding and listens to your concerns. He takes time with the patient to help them with their health issues. I've been coming here for three years and I always feel like part of the family. The staff is always pleasant and helpful with insurance and other questions. I am a diabetic and thanks to Dr. Basson my teeth have never looked or felt better. People who suffer from diabetes are more susceptible to developing Infections. Visiting the dentist at least twice a year for routine teeth cleaning and exams are to ensure your oral health is intact. I am very grateful for Dr. Basson. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a specialist. Patient Bernardino Ruiz read more

Took my mom here for her new dentures, Shout out! to the friendly lady at the front desk and the staffs. Her dentist Dr. Basson, not that he only did an amazing job on her dentures but he always made sure she will feel comfortable every time we visit. The office is very clean and neat. Too bad we are moving out of State we would love to visit here again! Thank you Dr. Basson and Godbless you all! read more

I've been going to this dental office for a while but now they have a new doctor so I decided to write another review. Dr Basson is a very sensitive and easily approachable professional. He explained me what treatment I needed to do and why, thus I didn't feel confused or ripped off as in some other dental offices in the past. I noticed lots of new technology in the office that previous doctor didn't have. Dental assistants in this office are also very polite and friendly. I haven't found a better office so far and I have been to quite a few in Pasadena area. read more

Great dental office. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the nice, well mannered office staff. She took great Care of me from completing the forms to getting my x-ray done. Dr. Vicky Wang was so friendly and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and concerns. She was so honest with the recommendation for my dental needs. Thank you. Most importantly, Dr. Wang was very gentle. I did not feel any pain nor discomfort. Again, thank you. After so much research for a local dentist, I was happy with my visit. read more

I have Medical/Denti-cal. I was confused about what the difference was and what services were and were not covered. The front desk lady answered all my question and was honest about what I could get done at no cost to me and what would be out of pocket. Dr. Wang is also very honest and explained what needed to be done. She even drew me a little picture and brought out models so I knew exactly what to expect. After calling around and not being able to get straight answers this was a huge relief. She also has alot of experience and is gentle so this will be my go to dentist. read more

Their entire staff is amazing I love them all. Very patient & straight forward. I highly recommend this place !

Things in my life have a habit of adding up and burying me, and, as a result, some of those things get lost in the shuffle. Unfortunately, my regular dentist visit has been one of those, going the way of the dodo as of late. After a lengthy search and a renewed resolved, I found Dr. Wang. Based off the Yelp reviews, I decided to give the good doctor a try. First off, this place has got parking out back. If there's a right foot to start on, it's that - a thousand times. The office itself feels like a time capsule. After years of going to dentists' offices with the same minimal, vaguely futuristic set-up, I was pleasantly surprised by the sense of nostalgia evoked by this place. I'm not sure about your experiences, but this place reminded me of my first dentist's office. Yes, the equipment was all modern, but something about it felt very old-school. Dr. Wang's dental assistant (whose name I did not get!) set a wonderful tone for the visit, patient and welcoming as she was. The doctor herself continued this vibe, making for a great time (as a great as time can be at the dentist). The good doctor has very light hands (something I've come to appreciate more and more as I've gone through different dentists), and she remains very communicative the entire way through. In this way, she also reminded me of my first dentist - someone I thought could never be matched. This place is most definitely worth a shot if you're looking for a new tooth person. read more

Rohit Basson DDS I was not told that Dr. Vicki Wang had sold the practice. The new dentist, Dr. Basson, did not introduce himself and did not clean my teeth. I was there for a six month cleaning. The dental assistant chipped my tooth with the metal polishing machine. There was no cleaning done. Basson just examined my mouth to look for something to charge me for, and was visibly disappointed. The station was dirty. I will not be back. read more

I haven't been to a dentist's office in many years and was so afraid to go back. But this office made it all worth it and made my experience so pleasant. They have been very helpful and honest and kind throughout the process and trustworthy. Dr. Wang is very knowledgeable, friendly, experienced, and competent. She knows what she is talking about and makes choices based on it. She doesn't try to coax you into getting a treatment/ procedure if it's not necessary unlike some other dentists I've experienced and were dreading. She is patient and sensitive to the patient's need and condition. The office staff is also nice and friendly. I am very glad and thankful that I found this place! read more

Great dentist, very efficient and fast. Everyone here is really kind and friendly. I had a lot of anxiety about the dentist and everybody here made it a easy, pleasurable experience. read more

I searched on yelp about a month ago for a new dentist that is closed to my home in Altadena and found Dr. Bason. He is so knowledgeable and explained everything in details. He found a cavity under my gum on my front tooth which I had been feeling very sensitive when I drink cold or hot water and my old dentist had been telling me for the past couple years that because I am a sensitive person and that is why I feel everything. Also, my sister metal post failed and she felt pain. our old dentist and another dentist we visited blamed her for not taking care of it which she never was told how to take care o it. Dr Bason took some scanned and saw that the gum around the post was infected. The way he explained it that the post is under size because the top 3 teeth pounding on the post which is supposed to be 2 post that causing the post to move and the bacteria went in to the post. He right away prescribed her with 2 types of antibiotics and 1 pain killers while the other 2 dentists did not. Also, my husband has 4 front teeth that were chips due to wear and tear from his crooked teeth. 2 other dentists told him that he needed root canals while Dr. Bason said he doesn't need them. I recommend for you to see Dr. Bason if you are looking for a dentist who will make your life easier and his staff are amazingly friendly. read more

Dr. Basson and his team are great professionals! He is very sensitive and caring for his patients. He told me what I needed done and created a treatment plan for my dental care. He told me about insurance benefits that I didn't even know I had! While working on my teeth cleaning he was very gentle and would check in to see how I was doing. In the past my old dentist did not do that nor was she gentle while cleaning my teeth which made me scared of the dentist. I'm glad I found Dr. Basson as my new dentist because I truly feel that he cares for his patients! read more

I was and always have been terrified of visiting a dentist. But since I was in a lot of pain I decided to visit Smile now dental practice. They set me up with Dr. Basson. I needed alot of work, as I feared deep cleaning, root canals, crowns, fillings, basically everything. He came up with a good treatment plan keeping my needs in mind.Post treatment my smile is better than it has been in my life..period!!! Staff/ Dr. are friendly, patient but thoroughly professional. I am thankful to Dr. Basson and his staff for an awesome experience. read more

Dr. Wang was very friendly, and so good at informing me what I'm going to get and what I need to do. Yeah, I will recommend this dental office to my friends and family. read more

Fantastic doctor/patient interaction. Front desk staff was nice. Cleaning and X-ray was easy. Will need to come back for deep cleaning (damn you, gingivitis) but happy to have found a good dentist in the area! My first visit here, but I appreciate the recommendations for my dental care! read more

love this place haven't been in a while due to move, but highly recommend they make you feel comfortable and very welcomed

Serioulsy!!! I have never met such a nice doctor like Dr. Wang My mom is cancer patient and doctors usually do NOT like to take care of cancer patients because you have to careful about their medication and immusystem( very weak and may casue other problems during procedure or after taking meds). However! she was not hesitate to take care of my mom.She even called my mom's doctor to discuss about my mom's case and helped my mom's dental (gum and carries) procdure. We visited several doctors and were not able to solve problems:( My mom feels much better now and happy:) and she can eat now!!!! She cares about my mom and listens and shares pains together. God bless you, Dr. Wang read more

I'm so glad I went to Dr. Basson. It had been years since I've been to the dentist. there were small gaps in between my gums and quite a few teeth. I had been told by a previous Dentist It was because of me brushing to hard. Dr. Basson showed me a short video about how it could also possibly be because of my crooked teeth causing this. He filled in all the gaps. Something I wasn't aware my insurance even covered for the fact that no other dentist had recommended filling them (only to use a soft bristle brush and not brush too hard) he let me know these fills will eventually start to become gaps again if I didn't get my teeth straightened and that my insurance would only cover this procedure once every 3 years. He recommended Invisalign and gave me a reasonable quote and said he'd try and get them straightened within a 5-7 month period since they aren't that severely crooked and to save money. I also didn't wait for the numbing medicine to wear off and bit the inside of my cheek and lip and when I went back to get the left side done he gave me vitamin e capsules to help with my bit cheek. His assistant and front desk receptionist are also just as friendly, professional and helpful. I was 40 minutes late to my first appointment and they were still able to accommodate me and get me in quick. I can't wait to save up half of the payment for the Invisalign to start getting my teeth straightened. I would highly recommend anybody to go to Dr. Bassons office. read more

Dr. Vicki Wang is a very experienced, highly competent dentist and a graduate of the prestigious USC School of Dentistry. I had a pretty complicated case involving multiple dental fractures from bad teeth grinding and had a stone built up in the pulp of my tooth. This required a root canal. Painful? No, not at all! And it wasn't because Dr. Wang over anesthesized me either. I did not suffer from numb mouth and jaw for hours on end. In fact, I noticed that the anesthesia wore off within an hour of my treatment and I was able to eat and drink shortly afterwards. It is a plus that the practice is also open on Saturdays for working people who can't quite make the usual 9am-5pm office hrs. of many practices. I'm pretty picky and I'm in the medical profession myself so I was very pleased to find such a fine doctor who is meticulous and is a good educator, describing my problem and her treatment method. read more

Dr. Wang is wonderful. She explains everything patiently so you understand. I trust her and sent my husband to see her as well. She and her receptionist/assistant are both very kind and always remember to ask about my son. Most importantly, though the office is not fancy, the dental work has been great! Highly recommend. read more

I love Dr.Vickie Wang. I went there because of my insurance coverage and from the moment I was greeted by the receptionist I felt at ease. I then went in to meet with Dr. Wang and she was calm, reassuring, professional and told me in plain language what work I needed. I have recommended her to many others and they too are equally as pleased with her service and her staff. read more
