    Previous review for molar extraction
    S P.

    This is my second review for Smile On Dentistry. I previously wrote about my absolutely WONDERFUL experience with Dr. Ana and the staff for my extraction of my upper left molar. I am now writing about my experience with Invisalign. In these hard times, I had gotten laid off and lost my insurance that covered Smile On dental work, BUT I continued to pay out of pocket to see Dr.Ana and the staff because they are just THAT stellar!!! They never hesitate to provide discounts and are understanding of the financial crisis that the majority of us are in. Their willingness to work with patient's individual situation and provide access to the ABSOLUTE BEST (and I mean THEEEEEEE BEST) dental care is just beautiful. I can't even think about the words to express how I feel about their compassion and kindness. As for the Invisalign service...wow, just wow. I had completed my first round of treatment last year but my two front teeth began to slightly shift, and since I was qualified for the complimentary revision, they proceeded to do another round of treatment to correct the issue. Again, just WONDERFUL service!!! They paid close attention to my concerns, and addressed them promptly and precisely; while providing a warm and welcoming environment. I know the dentist is scary for some people, but going to Smile On literally feels like visiting friends. I had accidentally lost my retainers and Dr. Ana provided me a discount on replacements. Dr. Ana is an absolute genius and her staff are the absolute best I've ever worked with. Dr. Ana has also inspired me to practice good dental hygiene as part of my lifestyle, which all dentists try to do but rarely succeed. PLEASE do yourself a favor and visit this office. I am beyond words as to how happy I am with their service, compassion, skill, and my dental health and smile!! P.S. For some reason yelp deleted my previous review so I have attached the screenshot :)

    I moved back to the area right before COVID started and lockdowns were in order- Winter 2020. Already fearful of the dentist, I was hesitant to find a new one once I was settled especially amidst a global pandemic. Fast forward to November 2021 & it has now been almost four years since I've seen a dentist. Yikes!!! ... I know. Hence you can imagine how nervous I was when I entered Dr. Ramona's office just to find out that I had 4 cavities :( Obviously, this was a bit expected with my lack of bi-yearly cleanings, but what was not expected was Dr. Ramona's amazing care and comfort throughout my initial appointment. Not only did she provide a judge-free zone as I explained how low my pain tolerance was, but she also shared a personal story with me that made me feel like I wasn't the only one who acts like a baby when needles are near! After scheduling a date for my fillings, I left her office feeling accomplished. How many people can say that after leaving a dentist?! I went back today for my fillings, again very nervous. Dr. Ramona's greeted me with a smile and assured me that my mouth would be completely numb for the procedure. I thought, "yeah, okay that's what they all say," but I couldn't have been more wrong. I'm thrilled to say that "I am in absolutely zero pain after having four cavities filled!!" The staff at SmileOn Dentistry truly care about their patients & Dr. Ramona is a godsend! I would recommend their practice to anyone looking for a new dentist in the area - be sure to ask for Dr. Ramona!!

    GREAT DENTAL CARE

I immediately saw my general dentist, who recommended that the tooth be extracted and replaced with an implant. As you can imagine, I was extremely nervous and anxious about the idea of oral surgery. I reached out to Dr. Sam Vahedi's office, and from the very first interaction, they were incredibly accommodating and professional. They understood the urgency of my situation and scheduled me promptly, which immediately helped put me at ease. The moment I walked into the office and met Dr. Vahedi, I felt calm and reassured. He has a very confident yet kind demeanor that instantly builds trust. They performed a CT scan, and Dr. Vahedi took the time to thoroughly explain exactly what was going on and what the plan would be. He explained that the first step would be extracting the broken tooth, which had three roots. During the procedure, he carefully numbed the area. There was only minimal discomfort with the numbing, and after that, I truly did not feel any pain at all. I could feel some pressure and hear some crunching, but there was absolutely no pain. Throughout the entire process, I felt completely confident in Dr. Vahedi's technical expertise and knowledge. It was clear that I was in very capable hands, and sure enough, he did a magnificent job. His assistant, Heidi, was also wonderful--very attentive, reassuring, and kind. I was so relaxed during the procedure that they actually thought I had fallen asleep! That alone speaks volumes about how comfortable and stress-free the experience was. I will be returning in several months for the next steps of my implant process, and I am extremely grateful that Dr. Sam Vahedi is my oral surgeon. If anyone ever asks me who they should see for oral surgery, extractions, or implants, I will unconditionally and enthusiastically recommend Dr. Vahedi. An outstanding experience from start to finish.

They wouldn't treat me until I got a note from my doctor because of some meds I'm on. That's fine, but they don't get to xray me for no reason. 2) They referred me to another practice, then forgot to send them a referral or the xrays they had taken. Santa Monica Dental at 2001 Wilshire (who I highly recommend) ended up giving me free xrays since it wasn't my fault no one sent them my xrays.

    I was referred to Dr. Boudreau through my dentist. To keep it simple for those who do not wish to…read moreread a lot, I will state up front that this review and rating are primarily for my (poor) experience with a receptionist I have since learned is no longer working at this facility due to her weak work ethic and lack of manners. Despite such an experience, I have attempted to adjust my star-rating to represent what I think of Dr. Boudreau outside of my experience, which overall is that he truly cares what his patients need and tries to make amends for any less than stellar experiences had. Dr. Boudreau takes the time to speak with you during your consultation without any sense of urgency for the clock ticking and with an obvious interest in considering all the factors that influence one's health--not just factors under the narrow lens of dentistry. In any case, I will give a simple recount of my experience in the event that it helps someone navigate this--or any other--facility with greater success. We have a complicated health care delivery system, fragmented into silos by specialty and further fragmented between "medical", "dental" and "mental health" care. Dr. Boudreau seems accustomed to trying to bring them all together, which means at times, as logic would support, someone's dental care needs may intersect with their medical care needs. In his opinion, the extraction of my wisdom teeth had such an intersection. In line with that, the receptionist seemed to have wisely predicted that might be true by having asked for my medical insurance information prior to my first consultation. She figured it was wise for us to know if my medical insurance would allow me to be treated by Dr. Boudreau outside of his office IF I needed to go under general anesthesia. However, rather than letting me know in advance of my consultation that, in fact, Dr. Boudreau had no privileges (the right to practice) at any hospital that accepted my insurance, she allowed me to move forward with my consultation. Strike 1 for this lazy receptionist. During my consultation, I found that I liked Dr. Boudreau and felt I would be in good hands for my extraction, which he advised I do under general anesthesia. He told me the receptionist would submit a request for such an extraction to my medical insurance and call me as soon as it went through. In a week, I got a call, and the receptionist told me my insurance denied the request. When I called both my medical and dental insurance to question the denial, they told me no such request had been made. I called the office to try to sort things out, asking the receptionist to formally submit a request to my insurance, and she said, "I don't do that. I call the hospital the doctor likes and see if they accept your coverage. If they do not, you must pay in full or go somewhere else." WOW. BIG strike 2 considering she was not willing to do what's necessary/customary for me to receive treatment! In response to this, I asked her to have Dr. Boudreau give me a call directly so we could discuss the situation. Not a day passed, and she called me back and said that he could not make the time to call (I have since learned he never got my message, as he has made plenty of time now to explain the situation, which proves to me he would have called then.) I thus asked for a copy of my x-ray, to which she responded there would be a $40 charge. $40 for a $99 x-ray? I refused, and told her the least she could do after wasting everyone's time and putting me in a situation where I would have to get a second consult (and pay another co-payment) was reduce my need to also pay for a second x-ray. She obliged. (Note: I ended up getting a second x-ray at the surgeon I ended up using anyway--Dr. Ramin Shabtaie--as he has much newer technology, which he preferred to use to obtain an x-ray with much higher resolution. In all honesty, I don't know if this second x-ray was necessary, but it did show a lot more detail, which seemed helpful in seeing how close my oral nerves were to my wisdom teeth.) Bottom line: I had a very poor experience with the receptionist but a decent experience with Dr. Boudreau. In all fairness, if there is a new--and good--receptionist, I would recommend Dr. Boudreau. That said, I also recommend understanding your insurance in advance. This process has been very educational for me. I have learned that only in the most rare of circumstances will dental insurance ever approve going under general anesthesia (e.g., for children with Down syndrome, etc.). Many people instead pay for it out-of-pocket to avoid being present during the barbaric procedure of an extraction, which at the surgeon I ended up using would have cost about $160 in his office; I assume, had he wanted to do it at a nearby hospital, it would have cost more and involved using my medical insurance in some way. (Note: I ended up just going with local anesthesia for $45.) Know all your options in advance and get a quote!

They submitted the evaluation wrong to my insurance so the tooth that needed urgent work and root canal got denied. Later I appealed it and it got approved. The dentist did not work with me on fixing the issue, did not talk to me about it. Only the passive aggressive receptionist lady did. I requested from her all of my medical record. They charged me for it. And huess what - they only send x rays about a week later knowing I needed urgent care at a different dentist. When I reminded them over the phone as well as via email, they ignored me. Btw it is iilegal to withhold patient's record. 2. When they showed me the upcharge to opt in from PFM crowns to Cerex, I declined. They immediately lost interest in me as a patient. 3. They over submitted the work that needed to be done which lead to denial of teeth that actually needed the work. They said one of the teeth needed gum laser surgery and quoted whooping $950 for a 5 minute procedure that an emergency dentist charged me $200 for a different tooth. Because guess what that tooth they said needed it did NOT need it at all. So I would have paid them $950 for something I did not need. I suspect they knew that when they submitted my treatment plan to my insurance and might have planned to up charge me. When I asked if they could do the tooth without the gum treatment, they said 'no'. Either $950 uncharge or no treatment. 4. The dentist who did my 1st tooth before this whole situation above was talking to her assistant while drilling my tooth like it's her bestie she hasn't seen forever. She talked about her kids birthday party, asked numerous questions to her assistant who was trying to do his job. That dentist seemed like a lovely person unlike some other staff but to say I was uncomfortable about the non stop chatter while my tooth was being drilled is to say nothing at all. 5. Oh and I was blackmailed into having an additional x ray which no dentist ever needs after the crown is fitted. I declined it saying that I believe x ray radiation is bad for you (at least overexposure to it) so I eas told that it's either that or no crown. I spent $1000 on emergency treatment (2 crowns prep) due to them getting my tooth denied by the insurance and never getting back to me about the treatment that was approved. They said they'll call me back but they never did. Did they want me to get sepsis from the I felted tooth they knew I had and die? Is it because I didn't want to opt in to cerex? I hope I saved someone's life/money or both with my experience with this dental 'practice'. I usually write great review only but this might save someone so I shared.
