Another good experience. I've been a patient of Dr Sparks for over 15 years. He has such a pleasant demeanor and truly cares about you. Like many others, I was always a little nervous about going to the dentist. I've never felt this way here. Over the years I've had multiple exams and cleanings. I've had a few cavities filled and my childhood metal fillings replaced. Dr. Sparks diagnosed pain/ bite issues I was experiencing a few years ago and determined that it was my wisdom teeth at fault. I was very nervous about having them removed but my fear was unjustified. Dr. Sparks removed my top wisdom teeth himself. A year or so later he had an oral surgeon at his office remove my lower ones. After these procedures several years ago I haven't experienced any further issues! I am truly so happy that I have Dr. Sparks as my dentist. I've referred many friends to him and all have been pleased. Last week I had an exam and cleaning. Angel the hygienist was thorough and nice to talk to. Ana and Susan at the front desk are upbeat, pleasant and efficient. The office runs on time which I really appreciate. The office is clean and the views from the exam windows of the Hollywood Hills are fantastic. I still highly recommend Dr. Sparks after all these years! read more

I used to be a patient for a long time , Angela was excellent probably the best hygienist that I ever had but the lady in the front office was horrible so I stopped going They must desperate that after some many years they sent to collection for something that I am not aware read more

I have had a number of cavities and crowns done by Dr. Ronald Sparks since his office on Gregory Way. He is the one of the most responsive, patient-centric practitioners I have been treated by. (Someone else left a review here on Aug 6, 2009 with a similar name - not to be confused with me. I have been his patient long after that guy). read more

The dentist at Sparks Dental is skilled and provides good care, but unfortunately, the overall office experience is very difficult. The front desk staff, particularly Susan who handles insurance and patient check-in, is consistently rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Her attitude makes visits unnecessarily stressful and unpleasant. With so many friendly, patient-focused dental offices in the area, I would recommend considering other options rather than Sparks Dental. read more

I've been going here for about 5/6 years and I've never had any issues with anyone here. This review is really for Susan who works at the front desk. She called me to verify some new insurance and was so impatient and so rude with me. She kept talking over me, telling me I'm not helpful, and hung up on me. Insane. When I called back to ask her to cancel everything she had zero remorse for her behavior. Dr. Sparks is great but I really hope you get rid of Susan. I'll be going to a new dentist after this. read more

I really didn't want to give a bad review. He is a fine dentist and my entire family was going to his office for years but his front office staff is horrible. He used to have a very nice front office person but for over a year ago she was replaced with absolutely horrible staff. She is not friendly, arguing with patients. They have 48 hours cancellation policy for appointments. I was offered last minute cleaning appointment the day before but had family emergency and had to cancel a little over 24 hours basically a couple hours after I accepted this last minute appointment. The front desk person was very rude when I tried canceling. And they charged me cancellation fees even though I was offered this cleaning appointment less then 48 hours as per their cancellation policy. Sorry Dr. Spark but because of the very bad experience that your front office staff created I am forced to look for a new dentist for my entire family. read more

Best. Dentist. Ever. I have been going to Sparks for years and I'm always blown away by the value of work and the staff. Everyone in the office is kind and most importantly good at what they do. I had an appointment today and felt like I should share the love and highly recommend this office and Dr. Sparks. I had to see another dentist during Covid because Sparks was mid move and didn't have an opening and I was leaving town so I couldn't be flexible. Oh my, I knew how good I had it at Sparks but after going to this other office it really made me appreciate it even more. I drive over an hour to get there because I trust their work. Speaking of driving... they used to have a free lot before moving during Covid, but now there is a valet parking garage under building. It usually runs me between $8-$14 depending on what I'm getting done, but it's very convenient. And there might be some free street parking if you wanted to drive around, but not positive on that. read more

I've been a patient for 4 years and have been very happy with the practice. In my experience pricing is reasonable as a cash patient. I wish parking in the building wasn't so expensive, but that's just LA ‍ read more

Dr. Sparks is an exceptional dentist. His staff is very professional and warm, too. Highly recommend Sparks Dental Group.

I had a lot of decay and old fillings that HAD TO be dealt with. I put it off for too long because I've been afraid of the dentist since I was a kid, had a bad experience. So a friend recommended Dr Sparks and after our first appointment I was very relieved by how patient, considerate and professional he was. We made a multi visit plan, final appointment was last week and now my mouth is as good as new. Dr Sparks got me through this frightening situation with minimal pain and a few laughs. Everyone at the office is very pleasant. Can't recommend Sparks Dental Group enough. read more

Dr. Sparks is a thorough, kind and skilled doctor who's gentle with his patients, has incredible manners and is honest about what your teeth and oral hygiene need. I've been a patient for a few years now, he came to the rescue after a reckless and horrendous dentist caused some damage to a tooth, and fixed it. Most recently I had to treat a small cavity and he's been taking all the time needed to adjust a troublesome filling. The hygienists and staff are wonderful too and they make the once dreaded trips to the dentist office a pleasurable experience, now. I couldn't recommend Dr. Sparks and his practice enough! read more

Once upon a time I had a dentist who I was happy with, but she sold her practice to two guys fresh out of dental school. Since it was up the road from work, I stayed on and tried them out. I think they were eager to pay back loans because they instantly recommended I have a dozen fillings, when for the previous 5 years I averaged less than a filling a year. When they did do some work, they rammed the needle in to inject local anasthetic, and while doing work managed to cut open the corner of my mouth badly enough it took two weeks to heal because it would rip open every time I took a large bite. Because of those jerk-offs, I went to Dr. Ron, and I've been happy ever since (2.5 years). The staff is very friendly and there are no vibes of shadiness. If it's not clear you need a filling, he'll mark it to be observed for 6 months. If you do need work done, Dr. Ron is very good with the needle, you barely feel it at all. I followed my girlfriend to Dr. Ron and more of our friends have started going to him, and everyone seems to be happy. read more

Sparks Dental Group - Dr. Ron - General Dentistry Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I have avoided the Dentist for almost 6 years. Maybe longer all because of how unpleasant my past experiences have been. This place was referred to me by a friend and I am so glad I listened. I have been cured of my fear of the dentist. Dr. Sparks has the best hands. No pain, no discomfort, works quickly and smoothly. Such a calm setting with great staff. I just cant believe it didn't hurt. Not the numbing, not the cleaning, not the cavities. None of it. 10/10 will go back. Try it out, you wont regret it. read more

The friendliness of the staff is impressive. The receptionist is a doll who made me feel very welcomed upon arrival, the x-ray technician was quick and Dr. Ron sparks came in shortly after for my examination. He's an amazing and very honest dentist who told me that I need my wisdom teeth pulled and gave me the right info to take care of it. Angela (the dental hygienist) might be the nicest person of all time. I usually dread a teeth cleaning but she was very gentle and did a fantastic job! My teeth look and feel amazing. I would definitely request her if you can! They're all wonderful at their jobs and make going to the dentist actually enjoyable. 5 stars hands down for this office. I won't go anywhere else now! read more

I'm not even a patient here, but after my wife came home nearly in tears after a visit with the hygienist (can you BELIEVE it??), you can be sure I'll be warning people NEVER to come to this office. She has TMJ and recently underwent surgery, and not only did the hygienist REFUSE TO ALLOW HER to see the dentist (due to a concern about a possible cavity and to discuss her oral hygiene regimen while recuperating - both COMPLETELY valid concerns), she was literally made uncomfortable in every way possible. Probably because the hygienist did such a - frankly - horrible job, and knew it, too. I cannot believe the complete UNPROFESSIONALISM, and will urge everyone I know to steer clear of this horrendous practice. Perhaps this hygienist was new, but if I had one as simply awful as this person, I'd never visit the dentist again. Shameful, and incredibly bad medical practice. You can be assured everyone we know will be warned, and I personally will make sure no one in my family EVER visits this practice. Completely untrustworthy and unprofessional in every regard. read more

I can't vouch for their services due to the office staff. I booked my appointment a month out. When I booked I asked do I need to check with my insurance. They said no, they would verify. A few days before the appointment they sent a million forms to fill out. Then the day before my appointment they said they contacted my insurance and I'd have to pay more because I'm not assigned to them. So now It's a month later and I still don't have an appointment. Oh yeah, my insurance said they wouldn't pay anything if I went there. Thanks Sparks Dental for the incredible waste of my time. read more

Never again, thanks. the cleaning was unpleasant bordering on violent. And then, I was pressured into getting a filling i dont think i actually needed. they found a 'cavity' via xray that i had no idea was there. i've never had a cavity in my life. but, being a conscientious person, i wanted to get it taken care of immediately. i blindly trusted dr sparks' business because it was A) in beverly hills and B) recommended by a friend. FAIL. the filling SUCKS and now it hurts every time i bite down on something hard: a potato chip at the wrong angle, sprinkles on an ice cream cone, pretzels, etc. Buyer beware. read more

Dr. Sparks is by far the best dentist in town! I've been visiting his office since I first moved to Los Angeles years ago. The staff is friendly and Dr. Sparks is always available to help answer questions. Their office is located in Beverly Hills without the Beverly Hills snobbery. I always find parking when I go (their parking is free, a rare find in Beverly Hills) and I've never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes in the waiting area. I usually go weekdays early afternoon so that probably helps. Plus it's an added benefit that Dr. Sparks goes in at least one Saturday a month. Overall, I'd recommend him anytime. Oh, and his dental hygienists are the best! I haven't encountered one in his office I didn't like. read more

After avoiding a dentist for 2 years because I so loathed the treatment I received from my last one, I went to Dr. Sparks for the first time about 2 years ago. I've happily returned for my checkups and cleanings, and referred several friends to him as well. He never tries to upsell you any services and is very conservative in his recommendations, often preferring to revisit small issues at a later date rather than race to do something immediately. His staff is great, especially Angela the hygienist. And you can't beat free and easy parking, either! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Sparks for over a decade (soon after my move to LA) and have nothing but praise for them. They're extremely laid back and easy to work with in EVERY aspect of their business. This goes from scheduling (and cancelations), to insurance, to payment plans, to the staff themselves. This is also the kind of office where they know your face and name when you come in and even remember the things which make you uncomfortable, or you like. Dr. Sparks himself is a great and often humorous guy. I personally don't get nervous around dentists, but I've sent in my mother who does. He's done a great job of making her comfortable with even complicated issues. read more

I've been going here for a few years now and I really like Dr. Sparks and the dental hygienists but the new front desk staff is the ABSOLUTE WORST. I was told by Dr. Sparks that they could call my insurance while I was there to see if a procedure is covered so I wouldn't have to come back but the front desk person told me that she was too busy to make the call but would check and get back to me the next day. She then forgot to return my insurance card and had to mail it back to me. I didn't hear back for a week so I called again and left a message. Two weeks later nobody had called me back so I had to call AGAIN. At this point she tells me that someone else handles that and that she would check on it. Great! She called back an hour later to tell me it had been handled. WTF does that mean? It means the other person called my insurance and confirmed that I have to go through my primary care physician for referral and they can't help me. So I waited nearly three weeks for them to tell me that they couldn't do the work. Nice. I think it may be time to check out a new dentist. UPDATE: Just called my insurance company and they informed me that the info shared by the front desk staff is not accurate and that even though my dental insurance is separate, they still need the dentist to submit a preauthorization document and medical records to confirm. When I called back and asked to speak to someone about getting this info, she insisted it was correct. I JUST NEEDED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WTF THEY ARE DOING. read more

Dr. Sparks is the absolute best! Anyone would be lucky to have him work on your teeth. There's no dentist that listens to your needs better than him. Thank you for everything!!! read more

I have to admit, I was not looking forward to going back to the dentist. It had been about 2 years since my last cleaning and I was avoiding taking the steps to go under the light. However, I used Yelp to find a 5-star dentist that accepted my insurance and found Dr. Sparks! There couldn't have been a more pleasurable experience! There was free parking, the receptionist was extremely friendly and accommodating, the technician that took my xrays was funny, knowledgeable, and quick and the office was clean. To top it off, Dr. Sparks put me at ease while cleaning with good conversation and explanation of what was going on in my mouth. If you're looking for a new dentist and you're a no-hassle kind of person, you've met your match. read more

I've been going to Dr. Sparks for over a year now and I couldn't be happier. I had LOTS of dental work done over the last year and he was great. Everyone on the staff is friendly and attentive, always pleasant on the phone as well as in person. I've recommended many friends to him and all of them left happy and satisfied. Never once did I feel the "dentist anxiety" during any of my appointments, as they all were gentle and put me very at ease. I would definitely recommend Dr. Sparks to anyone looking for a new dentist. My only caveat would be: don't take the elevator, it is scary! read more

Had a lot of problems with a couple fillings and getting the bite right. My new dentist says they were done wrong, and that they had cracked. So chewing was terrible on my one side for weeks. Also when I got my teeth cleaned, I had a thin, deep horizontal line etched into two of my molars, causing immediate sensitivity to cold in the etched area from that day on. I wasnt sure what to do, because i wanted it fixed, but I didnt trust that office near my teeth anymore. His office coordinator gabriella is possibly the sweetest woman on earth, and his location is convenient, but don't let the 90210 zip code fool you into thinking he's any more experienced. read more

Nice folks, clean office, just not very thorough at explaining procedures, etc. I got the Invisalign braces and they left out so much (told me zero in terms of precautions and what to expect and what might happen - like cavities) it was bordering on the ridiculous. Check out this link if you ever consider trying Invisalign. http://carozy.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Prevent-Cavaties-with-Invisalign That having been said I probably would have bought them anyway... read more

Dr. Ron Sparks is amazing and so is his staff. I first went to a dentist who accepted my HMO insurance. They gave me a whole list of things to be done along with a total cost AFTER insurance - it was nearly $4,000. I decided to go to Dr. Sparks to get a second opinion, which he provided for FREE. His examination matched the first I had gotten from the other dentist, BUT his cost breakdown was less than half of what the other dentist was proposing - even without my insurance. Not only were his prices unbeatable, but he also did AMAZING job on the work I had done. I have officially switched to Dr. Ron Sparks and will continue to see him in the future - with or without dental insurance!!! read more

I"m 54 and have been going to Dr. Sparks for Many years. I have very sensitive teeth and have almost never felt uncomfortable or like i was in any pain. The cleanings always go smoothly. This is one GREAT Dentist. He and his staff are the best in town! If you are looking for a dentist this is is the place to start! We have recommended several friends who have come from other places in town and are also now happy clients! read more

I was in dire need of a cleaning and found this practice through my insurance provider list. The front end staff is super amicable. I had an interesting experience with the xray tech/dental assistant. I have a locked jaw and it was a little challenging getting the film in my mouth to get the xrays of my wisdom teeth. I usually am an easy patient but I needed a little warming up in this case and the tech wasn't really as patient as I would have hoped (or maybe I'm used to a little TLC?). Dr. Sparks is clear in his findings and very thorough at explaining everything to you, but I only saw him for about 10mins. I suppose because I was only there for a regular cleaning, so it's understandable. Angela, the hygienist is as amazing as all the previous reviews state. She is super gentle, explains the procedure step by step and always makes sure you're comfortable. She is a miracle worker. I hadn't been to the dentist in 4 yrs, so she had her work cut out for her. I felt I had a deep cleaning instead of a regular cleaning. I could've been there all day! Indya explained all the fees, what my coverage was and my out of pocket co-insurance and co-pay, which I greatly appreciate. There are no sneaky/hidden fees. Gabriella was super sweet, from the moment I called to make the appointment to the moment I checked out. The office is cozy and very intimate, but highly functional. All in all, I am very happy with my decision to choose this practice for my oral health care needs. read more

Dr Sparks & his entire team are simply the best. I have been going for about 12 years (because I am apparently old AF at 33) anyway, Gabriela at the front desk has been there since Day 1 , and is nothing but kind and gentle - amazing customer service! Angela is the best hygenist (Tues & Fridays!) , so friendly and warm and knows just how to make you comfortable. Dr Ron always gives honest warm advice and knows how to take care of his clients with skill. 10/10 read more

Good dentist. Been going here about 4 years now. The staff are almost always very welcoming, sensitive, generous, and professional. Easy to get to by public transit, too. My interactions with Mr. Sparks have been limited, but whenever I do see him he has always come across as friendly and skilled. Nice that they give reminders before appointments. read more

Love this dentist!! He is the BEST!! I was in pain because of a broken tooth and he fixed me up! Even on a Saturday!

I've been seeing Dr. Sparks for several years now and he really does make the experience pleasant! His office staff is so nice, he's super-friendly, and I love how it's a mystery elevator to their floor. Everything is clean and I always feel very comfortable when I have my visits. I've referred a couple friends over to him which says more than words can, and they've also had only great experiences there. I'm determined to catch Gabriella in a bad mood and I just can't! She's always Carol Brady happy and just an absolute doll! read more

Best experience I've had at a dentist. I had an extremely bad cavity in my muller that caused me pain for close to half a year and was referred to his office through coworkers, and he saw me the first time I went in and through one x ray he was able to sit down and explain to me in detail how bad it was and how exactly the root canal procedure would fix it , and I didn't have medical insurance so I was a bit scared of it emptying my pockets but even without a payment plan or credit check it was not crazy expensive even though it was done in Beverly Hills. I've never experienced this kind of professionalism or kindness in any doctors office in the 6 years I've lived in la. I never once waited more than 3 minutes when I came into the office. It almost felt like I was the only patient they had for the day. It was very quick and discrete , and I didn't feel a thing. I was awake for half of the procedure and could hear every bit of what was going on and didn't feel an ounce pain the whole time. I was also proscribed two different medications which were not expensive , and I haven't even used yet, because it doesn't feel like I had anything done. Dr. Sparks opened the tooth cleaned it out, patched it up and sent me on my way. It was literally that easy. Aside from being a tad but sore every other symptom I had prior surgery is gone. Thank you so much to everyone who was there to help me in a time of need . You have earned me as a reoccurring customer. read more

Really the best dentist around. Honest, straightforward and does great work. He doesn't try to upsell you on unnecessary work. I've been going to Dr. Sparks for over 10 years now with no issues. All the staff are great, but, as others have mentioned, Angela is the best hygienist around! read more

I really, really don't like going to the dentist. It gives me anxiety and I often flip out. Dr. Sparks is the first dentist I've found in LA who doesn't produce this reaction in me. His staff is so friendly. They are fast and efficient so you don't worry about what's about to happen :) They have little TV's above the chairs too. I still don't like going to the dentist, but I've finally found an office that I can make myself go to every 6 months. read more

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Sparks for years and I have recommended friends to him as well. We love Dr. Sparks and his staff so much, that we commute from Long Beach to see him. During my last visit I was told that Angie, the dental hygienist had called in sick and that all her patients were cancelled. However, because Dr. Sparks and his staff knew that I was driving in from Long Beach, they kept my appointment and Dr. Sparks cleaned my teeth himself. Thank you Dr. Sparks! read more

Great Dentist and staff... only had to switch b/c of my insurance .. very sad.. but def will be back once insurance lets me!!!!! Highly recommend this office!! read more

I've been going to Dr. Sparks for a little over two years and have always had a very pleasant experience going to the dentist. (Who says that?) There's never a long wait in the waiting room and the staff is very friendly. And, they're open Saturdays which is great when needed! read more

Simply the best dental experience I've had in a long time & yes even after finding out I have some dental work to be done...not happy about on my end, but I feel better to know I'm getting it done by Dr. Sparks & his team. When learning that I did need some work down they basically mapped out the process letting me know what needed to be done first & how much it would cost. I also felt the staff wasn't about making you feel bad about what made you have the tooth issues, they were about solutions. No up-selling either. I felt comfortable (as much as you can in a dental office). I would say if you haven't gone in a while to a dentist & you are a fearful patient this is the place to go. read more
