I highly recommend Dr Mokbel and his staff. I met Dr Mokbel because of a nightmare dental experience in which I needed to find someone who would fix the mess the previous dentist had made. He is very hands on and very skilled and knowledgeable and I was confident he could do the job and he did. His staff is great as well. I hope that you would consider him if you need dental work!! read more

First off, let me say that two dentists have tried to numb my mouth. When the numbness would wear off SECONDS after the shot, one dentist gave me shots all over my mouth, including the roof of my mouth and my tongue. Nothing worked. We even tried the next day with clear instructions not to drink coffee or tea. Still, nothing worked. I was told that the last time that happened, the patient had been a drug addict. Suffice to say, I don't do drugs, except for Ventolin and Symbicort for my asthma, and I'll drink wine at the most just a handful of times a year (pre-Covid). The second dentist, who was a tiny Asian woman and who has since passed away, actually used the armrest to add more pressure to get the needle in deep. I felt my nerve (wriggle). Not surprisingly, It took me three years to see my dentist again after those experiences. Not too long ago, I was told my my dentist that I needed work done on two teeth that was treated about three years ago. The onlay on my #18 had come off and there was now a slight crack in the tooth. My number #9 tooth had a secondary cavity. What?! It cost me close to $2000 out of pocket for the treatment and an anesthesiologist. My dentist, knowing how difficult it is for me to get numbed, recommended Dr. Mokbel. When Dr. Mokbel and Danielle tried to reassure me that I would get numbed, I was quite skeptical. I just wanted to pay the extra cost for an anesthesiologist. Let me sleep and wake up with everything done. But okay, why not give it a try. I mean the guy teaches classes at USC and have taken students to poor countries to help the less fortunate. Danielle had it okayed to prescribe Xanax, which I took before arriving to the office. One pill didn't work, so I took another one. She also suggested playing music, which I did. My first visit to fix my #9 went great. I was told I snored a couple of times (I usually snore when getting a massage) and my tooth looks so much better. I can now smile in the morning without getting grossed out at my reflection. I just left the office. This was my second visit for my #18. It was harder to numb me this time. But Dr. Mokbel kept at it. I had complete faith in him and had hoped he wouldn't give up. Man, I was telling my mind to just relax, but something in me resists the idea of being poked and prodded and I hate the idea of of being medicated. After what felt like 45 minutes, I was told that I was done. What?! The procedure was much quicker than my first visit. You can't believe how stressed I've been. I'm not a pansy. I've been punched in my face and kicked in my stomach numerous times by my ex, so the dentist shouldn't be nothing, but it is to me. Dentists and doctors are scary people who invade very private places. Like I said, I absolutely HATE going to the dentist and doctor. But if I ever had to do something like this again, and I hope I die before I do, Dr. Mokbel and his amazing staff would be my first choice. read more

In 2008 I spent almost a year and about $20k to have a bridge on my top 4 teeth renewed. I was so grateful when it was all done that I didn't realize how bad the work was until about 2 yrs later. It's was done on "the cheap" even though I paid a premium, and I have never regretted such an outrageous expense more. I'm positive I was over charged and taken advantage of... His staff was always very nice though, I must say that. read more

I went to see Dr Mokbel ato get a second "opinion" but all he did was took an X-ray then he came back in the examining room and was whispering to Danielle his receptionist/assistant. I thought he was extremely unprofessional and rude especially because he charged me for the visit but did not give me a "professional opinion" he told me the same thing as the other dentist... "Cover thy butt" kind of thing.... I would not recommend him. A few years ago I went to see him because of his reviews but he was way higher in fees than other dentists. read more

If he does work on you I would expect that you pay He did no work on me. Took less than 5 minutes and charged me. He may be a good dentist, but he is a lousy businessman. Charging people for nothing! It's unethical. read more

I saw him because he's local & I truly need a prosthodontist. I remember asking about a discount over the phone & it was a maybe, I'd need to ask the doctor directly. They lay out his magazine cover issue in the waiting area for you to read inside what a superman of a prosthodontist he is. Very impressive I'm going to see a true pro. Woot woot! I brought my own x-rays & when I went to ask Dr. Mokbel for a reasonable discount, before I finished my sentence he said NO & quite rudely.. I pretty much walked out in tears...in a hurry. it was heartless. The nice office gal called me back days later & gave me very specific details about this discount they would agree to because they "care so much & he wants to help you." When I returned & viewed in writing the itemization of exactly what it was I was told on the phone, oh yes they did CHANGE it. When I told Daniela no noooo this wasn't what you told me oh boy it was like some nightmare seriously. She wasn't that same caring person I heard on the phone to bring me back in. She spoke over me & simply didn't care. And seriously how they felt the amount they added in was worth losing the HUGE amount I was about to pay them makes absolutely no sense. Bottom line they lied to me. Said one thing, then did another & in that moment those extra dollars were so f-ing important to them.... Really? No REALLY? Also now that I've had much time to think about it, they never truly cared about me. In order to make the work affordable they offered to do half of what my mouth needed then I could finish the work when I could come up with more $ .... & the cost is absolutely outrageous. So actually there wasn't so much of a real discount, it was them getting me to take my life savings to pay for half the work. I NEED ALL THE WORK DONE! Most dentists can do ALL of my mouth for half of the cost to do half of my mouth here. But no I wanted a pro. They try justifying it but honestly they care more about the mighty dollar than the total well being of his patient. Either you pay a H U G E sum or there's the door... No wonder they insist on charging so much, they prob have lost so many patients treating them with such greed.. if they truly cared deeply they'd be so busy & the great reviews would come to bring so many more people they would have a long waiting list & more money than they could dream of. But when you strong arm people with such high figures it's honestly too daunting. The senseless greed in this business blows my freaking mind. I'm hearing what she told me over the phone in my memory now & I realize they manipulate with words saying they care. But offering to do HALF of my mouth for several times more than what everyone else charges to do ALL my mouth wasn't a discount at all. That isn't truthful caring. ...... ........ ............... .......... ........... ...... Please someone tell me of a GREAT ethical prostho or dentist who can simply fit me into some great dentures I'd appreciate it so very much. Somewhere in Orange County California please. I'd prob drive a distance to see someone not only affordable but who really does care. I can pay for quality but with this guy you could buy a car AND go elsewhere AND have ALL the work done in your mouth AND go out to a posh dinner too. ........ Don't even step foot in their door. I'm sure you can find someone who won't lie to you & God forbid you first pay them only to find out you made a huge mistake. Good luck then... read more

Dr. Mokbel, Danielle and staff have been our family dentist for ten years and we couldn't be happier. The office is always clean and comfortable and we're always in and out in a timely manner. Last year before my brother's wedding I was complaining about my smile and Dr. Mokbel bonded my teeth and now I get compliments on my smile all the time. It's given me more confidence and I don't feel insecure about laughing or smiling anymore. Danielle is the best office manager that anyone could ask for. She goes above and beyond her regular job duties and always explains exactly what my insurance covers and what it doesn't. As well as helping me make sure my family of six is well taken care of. Love this office and staff!! read more

This guy is the expert for dental work of all kinds. I had lots of broken teeth and old caps everywhere. It may have taken a year, but with 2 implants, many new caps, 2 bridges and a partial, I now have a beautiful smile. Something I've done without for almost 25 years. He's a stickler for making sure the bite is just right and the bridges and partials are comfortable. Everything turned out perfect! I can't say enough about him. He teaches at USC dental and knows more than anyone you can imagine. He even takes his students to Mexico to provide free dental work to those that can't afford it there. Don't go anywhere else, he's the best, but doesn't gouge you with above average charges. read more

Although I left a review three years ago, I thought it would be helpful to add a recent experience. Unfortunately, I needed to have a front tooth extracted recently. (Being 72 years old and having had work done on this tooth for over 50 years, it isn't surprising that it finally needed extraction). The removal of this tooth was the first phase of an implant, and the procedure went very well. I was relieved that I had not experienced any pain from the extraction, during or after. Amazing! The expertise of Dr. Mokbel is unparalleled. I was worried I'd be embarrassed even with a temporary device to fill the gap because, after all, it was a front tooth that was removed. However, I walked out of the office with the gap filled perfectly! My speech is unaffected with the new viz-a-line temporary prosthetic device. That was a concern for me because I do narrations of my writing and speech affects the world's view of a person. The dental assistants in Dr. Mokebel's office are WONDERFUL and the office manager, Danielle, understands every concern a patient has in all aspects whether they are financial concerns or worries related to the procedure. I have had 4 other dental implants from Dr. Mokbel in the past and they have made a positive impact on my life. I am very grateful to Dr. Mokbel and his staff and highly recommend this accomplished team for all dental work, especially for implant procedures. read more

I have been a patient for more than 30 years - I drive 90 miles, in traffic, to visit his clinic. Dr. Mokbel has improved the quality of my life. He is a master at work, re-designing and re-crafting what has been worn and rebuilding what is needed for a perfect bite. I highly recommend Dr. Mokbel's clinic! read more

I have a very extensive and complex dental history that precludes me from seeing a general dentist. Dr. Mokbel is a prosthodontics specialist capable of complex dental work that most other dentists are not. His staff is also very knowledgeable, professional and caring. Wouldn't trust my teeth with any other dental practice in the OC. read more

A broken denture led me to Dr. Mokbel and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Mokbel has his own lab on site and creates the denture himself. Not only is he concerned with a perfect fit but Dr. Mokbel is equally involved with the aesthetics of the denture. In my case, the end result is beyond perfect. The office is calm and appointments are on time and never rushed. Thank you to Danielle, Margarita and, of course, Dr. Mokbel. read more

Dr. Mokbel saved the day. My #8 tooth (big front tooth) and surrounding gums were severely damaged due to a root canal retreatment by another dentist.

They will brighten your smile - guaranteed. read more
