Dr. Barbon and his wife, Janelle came to a staff meeting to introduce themselves and invite us to their dental office. Janelle told us that they have a small office and that if we become a patient, we become a part of their family. I hadn't seen a dentist in years, but a throbbing pain in my molar pushed me to make a call to the warm and friendly dentist who had visited my school. The receptionist was sympathetic to my pain and scheduled me for an appointment immediately. Once there, I was greeted and attended to by a team of friendly and informed assistants. When Dr. Barbon reviewed my dental x-rays, he clearly and patiently explained what was causing my pain. Dr. Barbon has the technology to show me on a big screen colored monitor what is happening inside my dental cavity. As he pointed, circled and underlined the treatment area, he also reviewed the different options available and allowed me time to process the information and ask about the pros and cons of each option. Later, Janelle came and discussed with me my financial responsibility. She too explained the information with patience and clarity. Most importantly, she worked with me to make my payment more manageable. Dr. Barbon was able to fit me into his appointment calendar that day so that I wouldn't have to miss another day of work. He relieved the pain immediately and I was able to return to work. Dr. Barbon and Janelle treated me with the care and respect they promised. Unlike my own family, however, there was no shaming or scolding for not taking better care of my teeth. I highly recommend Superb Dental. I look forward to a lasting patient relationship with Dr. Barbon, Janelle and their staff at Superb Dental. read more

I don't mind my visits here because i know that Dr. Barbon will not hurt me. Call me a sissy but i hate pain, specially in my mouth. I don't feel any pain when Dr. B is working on my GRILL. I can honestly say i have never been to a dental office as often as this one in my entire life. I make sure to schedule my follow up visits. Also the office itself is very fancy. When i walked in I honestly though i was going to have to pay an arm and a leg to get my teeth to stop hurting, because it looked really expensive and high class. But you cant judge a book by its cover, even if its a fancy one. The staff was very nice,polite,considerate, and worked with me financially to make arrangements. I never once felt like i didn't belong or that i couldn't afford their services. Overall GREAT DENTAL OFFICE!!!! I would recommend this office to anyone to hates dentists, Dr. Barbon and his staff will definitely change your mind. read more

Superb Dental in Pasadena is definitely superb! Being a bit nervous and leery when it comes to the dentist office, it was surprising how communicative and gentle Dr. Barbon and his staff were. Dr. Barbon had a steady hand and kind words when he sensed my nerves were getting the best of me. Dr. Barbon was very patient and showed that he genuinely cared if I was okay when he was deep cleaning my teeth. The needles are scary to say the least and his numbing technique is one for the books. His secret is...slow and steady introduction of the numbing agent into the gums....makes such a huge difference in the potential pain experience! My last dentist treated me as a number and didn't communicate to me that the needle was coming...how frightening when you don't know what to expect! Feelings of powerlessness & fear of the unknown were what I learned to expect from my last dentist. Dr. Barbon is very respectful of his staff and this helps because the team can focus on the care of the patient instead of the bad feelings of the Dr.! Overall great experience with Dr. Barbon and I am less anxious for the other appointment this upcoming week for the other side of my mouth's needed deep cleaning. Thank you, Dr. Barbon and staff. read more

Pros: They know what they're doing. You get to watch a movie. Cons: They tried to convince me I needed a bunch of things I know I don't. They were so far off schedule I watched a WHOLE movie. Unacceptable read more

Great dentist in Pasadena! Love the service. Great and friendly employees. Helped me with all my questions. Definitely recommend!

Dr. Barbon is a great dentist, I highly recommend him to anyone searching for dental care or treatment.

I initially responded to a free tooth whitening advertisement and ended up with a great dental team caring for me, well over two years now! Dr Barbon employs the latest technology to deliver the best possible customized results. I am delighted with all of the work I've had done here, from regular cleanings to crowns and dental implants! The hygienist is knowledgeable and effective. The front office team is professional and great at working with your schedule, budget and insurance company. I love the electronic appointment reminders via email and text. My mouth has never been happier or healthier, thank you Superb Dental team! read more

For the last year I've been jumping from dentist to dentist not being able to find a facility and staff that made me feel comfortable while also doing an excellent job. At Superb Dental Care they really took their time and made sure I was informed each step of the procedure. From the front desk to the doctor; the service and professionalism, and quality of work was outstanding. Thank you Superb Dental for such a great experience! read more

Dr Barbon's hands are the best!!! Not heavy and you don't feel anything when he is injecting the anesthesia... one of the best "Bedside manners" I have encountered... hassle free appointment booking. If you are or even if you aren't in the area, I highly recommend him. read more

I had a filling done to both my front teeth. Dr. Barbon, Gracie & the rest of the team did a great job. I feel relived that I can finally smile and not feel uneasy to do so. Thanks guys!!! I would definitely come here for any dental work. read more

Edit to review: 1.) POINT ONE: My tooth is bleeding, I'm in pain & I can't chew on it. They won't refer me to an endodontist I can afford. I never said I wasn't willing to pay some out of pocket for an endodontist. What is unreasonable is to pay too much out of pocket for an endodontist I DONT WANT, because this place will not send a referral to an endodontist I can afford and do want. They actually refused to send a referral to my endodontist of choice when they know I need to pay less out of pocket! They aren't willing to help knowing my situation. In addition I was told after I go to their choice, the more expensive endodontist which would use up all monies on my insurance plan, I needed to go back to them for the filling to same tooth!! I was told the filling costs 200. Extra!!!!! Out of pocket. I wouldn't have any money left in my insurance after the endodontist. That's WHY I wanted a referral to a cheaper place, to help me and they were unreasonable even though they were aware of my situation. Seriously in this case who does such a thing? Barring someone from requesting their own endodontist to save money? Not sending a referral and being so difficult? I have a PPO plan so I can go anywhere - a PPO plan! I I talked to my insurance company and they said "you have the best plan you can go anywhere and they should be able to send a referral for you to go anywhere". The representative didn't know why I needed to go back to them for filling after a root canal. THAT is my biggest problem with this dental office. I had another procedure where a small fee was waived but I don't believe they suffered doing this. I'm suffering greatly because I still have to find a new dentist to get ANOTHER consult about my tooth as endodontists require dentist referrals! I have to go out of my way (very time consuming) because superb dental isnt superb. They won't work with me and send a referral upon my request (because they care so much?) Im fine with MY personal data faxed over. They didnt care. I'm simply still in pain & can't chew. I may lose my tooth because I have to wait longer. Doesn't that sound counteractive to their claim that they care? When I called they absolutely refused to send a referral!!! Then when I asked the lady WHY WON'T YOU? She actually replied "I DONT KNOW"! None of this is "Superb". Point 2.) My tooth wouldn't be in so much distress if they hadn't stopped accepting HMO plans. Out of MY loyalty to them (as I liked them before) I waited a very long time to see this dentist because it takes a long time to switch back from HMO to a PPO. When I came in Jan. they said the cavity was very small. Nothing to worry about. No indication it would turn into a huge problem. Due to illnesses I put it off a little bit thinking I had time. They should have fixed it then though when they saw it. But the biggest issue I have with them besides what I wrote in my review which were MANY things is the fact they DIDNT WRITE A REFERRAL TO SOMEONE SUFFERING for dentist of my choice. Their complete indifference to sending a referral to a different endodontist was SHOCKING TO ME considering its an emergency. That's crazy, considering they consciously are aware I need to save money and I'm in pain, the tooth IS BLEEDING (I TOLD THEM THAT) AND I CAN'T CHEW on my right side. THEY'RE AWARE I can't chew & its bleeding! They don't care. They just wanted to do things their way..because of money. That's my response to this dentists excuses that he posted below. ***** This clinic has completely changed its format to money-grubbing and high priced!!! The assistants will urge you to pay for the higher prices. It's a huge disappointment. They stopped accepting hmos and now only accept PPO's. I very clearly told the dentist that I had to wait almost 2 years to go back to him because that's how long it took to get back to a PPO plan!! He looked uninterested! They're so BUSY in January, they couldn't take care of a cavity that only got much worse. They could have taken care of it that day. Instead they were more interested in replacing all my 3-4 yr old undamaged resin fillings with new ones to capitalize on my PPO allowance. Drawing up a very expensive estimate! They have trained their new staff to encourage higher sales. I was told that I required a mouth insert... instead of suggesting that I might need one!!! I didn't want it but they went ahead and said "think of your health" and then they quoted me the ridiculous price of $2,500 out of pocket!!!!!!. THEY DONT CARE.. They entrap you into getting high priced work done "that day" by knocking a little money off if you get it done that day, that way they get a bigger payoff. I did not require the mouth insert yet they were forcing it on to me. They took a lot of training classes to essentially learn to coerce people into paying a lot out of pocket. I am an astute observer, I present you with my findings. read more

This is a well kept dental care office and everyone is superb. My hubby and I have been with them for several years now. This dental clinic uses modern technology and they are pretty good with doing a follow through after every dental procedure done. Appointments are always kept on time so you can plan your day accordingly. read more

I love Dr. Barbon and his staff. This is by far the best dental experience I have ever had. I have recommended all my co-workers and family to Dr. Barbon, and all had nothing by 5 star reviews. The most gentle dentist I have had. Very informative and very detailed. Josie and Yvonne are great too. You really feel like your comfort and well being is number one! I highly recommend Dr. Barbon. My 04 year old neice's first ever dental experience was great. I think she cried more when she had her first haircut. Thank you for the eperience and great customer service!! read more

Dr. Barbon is amazing at what he does, he seen me in an emergency fit me right away, no wait, helped my pain go away made me feel confident in my smile ! The staff is amazing very friendly! Janel and Kristina very helpful! I appreciate all of them for helping me out! I highly recommend this office ! read more

I do not really post reviews but this office deserves one, because they have really helped me so much. I moved to Los Angeles 6 yrs ago... Had some tooth issues that needed to be addressed. I went to 5 other places, in 5 different cities... but wasn't convinced with their treatment plan. Being "IN" the dental field myself, finding someone to work on my teeth is just as difficult as finding a hairstylist to work on your hair... FACT: hair can grow back.. Teeth dont! I'm glad to have found Dr Barbon :) read more

I just wanted to say that if your are not getting your teeth examined by Dr. Barbon in Pasadena your are not getting your teeth examined. Dr. Barbon and staff continues to show excellent professionalism and comfort to any type of procedures needed. Dr. Barbon and his very knowledgeable staff has treated myself and family for the past 3 years. This is a great fine for our dental care in Pasadena. read more

Great dentist office! The staff is so nice. And Dr. Barbon is a wonderful dentist. I love that their always willing to work with your budget and never pressure you. They have a great referral program as well. Definitely our new family dentist! read more

I am beyond words of how to describe how amazing and excellent the dental office of Dr. Barbon is! I was referred to his office from a co-worker due to a toothache, luckily it was within walking distance from where i work. I was so happy i was able to come in the same day i called them and all i can say is wow, i was blown away by the extremely friendly staff, they were so caring, attentive and made me feel like part of their family, even had my name in the front office to welcome me. The office is amazingly clean & organized, its such a nice office. This is the best dental office i have EVER been to and im so happy i came in. I tell everyone i know if you want a great caring dentist and staff come to Dr. Barbons office. I have been coming back ever since for my cleanings and other procedures. This is my new permanent dentist for life! Thank you Dr. Barbon and all your wonderful staff. I even come by just to say hi to them on my lunch break sometimes because they are just that great in my opinion. read more

Superb Dental Care - Best dental office here in Pasadena, CA - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Pasadena, California

Even though I live far from his office, I am switching my dental care to Dr. Barbon. He has is great and extremely gentle. I had a cavity and numbing was necessary to have the procedure. I am VERY scared of needles, so I just closed my eyes so I won't see it. Next thing I know, he was done with the anesthetic! I swear I did not feel a thing! Not even a pinch. Looking at my filling, you can't tell I had one. He is great at what he does! There might be a bit of a wait for your appointment, but that's totally fine with me since Dr. Barbon takes time with his patients. I don't feel like just another number in the line. Besides, they have some great movies on the screen while you wait. The staff is great. They are friendly and very welcoming. The office is very pleasant, clean, and organized! I myself have been called OCD and this office gets my approval when it comes to cleanliness. If you're looking for a great dentist and a nice office, check out Superb Dental. read more

This place is a little far from my area but I commute because the staff here is incredibly welcoming and professional. I've currently maxed out my insurance for the year and on my last visit I needed a deep cavity fill and they took care of me free of charge since I'm a regular and have had lots of work done here for the past couple years. The staff are very friendly and get to know you on a personal level which makes you feel a lot more comfortable while you're getting work done. They really care about keeping you as a regular and do anything they can to accommodate you like they've done with me. Once I get my dental insurance reactivated I'll definitely keep coming back. Dr. Barbón is awesome. read more

I can say I liked it because the front desk are so kind friendly and caring, I did the cleaning with Nelssy, she is so experienced and dedicated in her work. The doctor is a very nice one as well. read more

Ive been coming for years and every appointment and procedure have been excellent. The Doc and his staff are knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and always courteous. They truly emphasize on patient care by making sure you are comfortable during any procedure. The facility is always clean and equipped with a lot of new technology. Theres always something new when I come in or something new to learn when I come in. You can tell the Doc makes a real effort into learning and implenting new methods to truly take care of his patients and develop his skills. There are great and hardworking people here so do yourself a favor and take care off all your dental needs here. They go above and beyond to help you out. You wont be dissapointed. read more

After my visit with Dr. Barbon I'm definitely switching dentists. He was gentle and practically painless. The smiling staff was wonderful and very helpful. Driving far from home was worth it! Lalalalove the awesome service!! read more

They have multiple reminders for appointments and they takecare of you right away when you come for your appointment. Everyone here is very warm and accommodating! read more

I hated going to the dentist until I came here. The staff was truly amazing and we didn't know better about scheduling an appt at the same time and we have a baby. But,they were so understanding and flexible and helpful. I got the deep clean done and usually at other places,it was so painful,I hated going back but here,it was painless and very well done. It's crazy but I'm looking forward to getting all the work I need done here because they're just that good. I truly suggest that if you're contemplating going to the dentist,this is the place. Tell em I sent you lol. read more

Good staff and gentle doctor.. I will reccomend superb dental!!!

Dr. Barbon is by far the best dentist I've ever had. He's friendly, been very sensitive to my dental needs, and very accommodating with scheduling appointments. I'm super sensitive when it comes to a dentist, due to so many unfortunate dental experiences as a kid. I'll admit those memories are still there, but Dr. Barbon is very aware of my anxieties and always makes sure that I'm comfortable and relaxed during procedures. I now see him at least three times a year. Even though I'm a little anxious about a dental office, I always look forward to seeing Dr. Barbon. When I'm in the chair and he's next to me ready to begin work, I know everything will be ok. He's been the best for me. read more

I really like this place. Here's why: 1. The dentist is very caring and personable. He remembers details about my life, and is genuine. 2. They have very reasonable rates - very easy on the wallet. 3. The front office people are very friendly and have worked with me several times to schedule appointments at very specific times (I have to work around my full-time work schedule). 4. The dentists and hygienists are SO gentle. If I flinched even the tiniest bit, he would make sure I was OK. 5. I get to watch a recent movie while they're working on me. Entertainment is always nice, and they always seem to put on a movie that I really enjoy. 6. The have turned my husband from a man who wouldn't go to a dentist if his life depended on it, into a man who has been miraculously inspired to brush his teeth every other day and who drives himself to the dentist willingly! PRICELESS. 7. Free, plentiful parking, right in front of their office. 8. They ALWAYS give me a take home package with a good quality toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash. I have a whole drawer of it stockpiled now! 9. Their office looks brand new and it's always spotless. I like the bright yellow paint - it makes me happy. Overall, I've gotta give it 5 stars. read more

Don't go to this dentist if you have HMO. I was a new patient and had a broken bridge and requested the dentist, Dr. Barbon to re-cement it. He did not want to re-cement it because he wanted me to undergo bone work to correct the bridge problem . In other words, he would not want to band-aid by re-cementing it in the interim while I can look for other options. He did the free cleaning but did not give me water to rinse my mouth. He did not have an assistant. I felt my service was a discrimination perhaps because I have HMO insurance and since he probably will be paid a flat fee for his service, he did not want to expend more hours with my concern. This doctor SUCKS! read more

Gracie and the team are very professional, I have been going to this place for a year now!. I got my Invisalign done here. At first I was very hesitant of getting an invisalign, they were very helpful of explaining how invisalign work and that change my stigma from practical braces to invisalign. I would highly recommend the place!!.. read more

Best dental experience I've had in a long time. Staff are super friendly and professional. I had 5 cavities to get rid of and Dr.Barbon did a great job. I was so nervous to get them out but Dr.Barbon was always asking me if I was ok? Or to let him know if I needed anything while my cavities were being taken out. I've also had to reschedule a few times due to emergencies but the staff has always been understanding and willing to book me for another date that's convenient for me. read more

Dr. Barbon and his staff are A+. I went in to have my wisdom tooth extracted and was seen quickly. A week later I got my tooth extracted his staff was very soothing and made my jitters be distracted by having me watch movies that were funny. The tooth extraction was painless and post the tooth extraction I did not even have to use any medications for pain, this was a huge surprise. I was eating again soft foods within 18 hrs. I recommend an early morning extraction. His easy text appointment reminders were great and his office cleanliness is a plus. I would not hesitate to contact him for wisdom tooth extraction. His shots of anesthetics are great! read more

I had to find a new dentist really close to home. But I'm a bit apprehensive finding a "new" one that will actually fit with my checklists (expectations) because I'm choosy. I checked over here on Yelp and found Superb Dental Care. I read their reviews and thought I should give it a try. I just returned from my first appointment last Friday. I have to say... I must say that I'm EXTREMELY HAPPY with my decision. Scheduling an appointment was absolutely painless and fast; Yvonne was excellent in setting my first visit and I'm so grateful she called me to remind me of my appointment. The staffs are courteous, friendly and helpful. The office is located just across Huntington Memorial Hospital in a practically convenient location besides Vons, Bank of America etc, and easy access to buses. Inside is bright, clean and organized with modern up-to-date equipments and furnishings. I always get to any appointment earlier than schedule. While waiting at the office, I was able to have a short talk with two other patients who were already done but were waiting for a relative in the treatment room. They've been patients for 3years now. They were only walk in but never left the clinic since then. Busy as a bee working in medical fields now in the Beverly areas, they still find time coming back to this clinic because of the excellent service and skills performed by the dentist and his staffs. So, I thought... I need to see to believe. The dental assistant came, introduces herself and explained to me what she's going to do then she took an xray. Soon after, Dr. Barbon came, courteous and humble, introduces himself, he explained what exactly he was going to be doing during my visit. He made sure to ask about any concerns I might have before beginning the oral examination. He discussed what my xrays showed, my teeth and gum condition while looking at a mirror; reviewed my dental history but never pass a bad judgement to my previous dentist as other dentist does. I actually came with a lot of dental issues but he took time to explain thoroughly about my condition, in layman terms... meaning he uses words that are easy to understand and encouraged me to ask questions anytime. I hate those dentists who would talk to you like you're one of them. Hello, I didn't go to a dental school. But Dr. Barbon worked with me slowly, explaining each option I had for the next step in getting me to a better place. He explain how much my insurance would pay per year, my co-pays, what percentage of what procedures (xrays, cleanings, fillings, root canal) the insurance would pay, explain what cost more, or what is affordable. He is a good listener too. I felt fully informed that my questions are answered. Dr. Barbon did my cleaning himself. He's gentle, efficient with so much energy when working. He tells me briefly how cleaning procedure is done and to tell him by raising my hand for any discomfort that I will feel during the procedure. The dental assistant has demonstrated proper knowledge of her job and made me very comfortable. After the cleaning, I was given a cup of mouthwash (not water) to rinse and a mirror to see the difference of the before and after. For me, the most important aspect is trusting a professional and exceptional dentist, which in my opinion, Dr Barbon is the best. I have had my share of dental work done but this one, I really admire his approach. I never get the sense that he is forcing me to have something done but is honest in his recommendations. There was never a feeling of chaos even if I am an HMO patient. And I know that the work he does is of first-rate quality- what is best for patient. That's why it is Superb!!! It was a very great wonderful experience. I'm definitely coming back for my next appointment with my husband, my son and my two bestfriends here in Superb Dental Care. I am very grateful for Yelp in finding me Dr. Barbon and his staffs. So if you're looking for a great, friendly, efficient, professional, painless, comfortable, affordable and honest dental office, don't hesitate to go to SUPERB DENTAL CARE. You won't regret it!! Bring your family and friends too. read more

The Dr. was awesome and the staff were amazing. Would definitely recommend this dental office.

This review is more about the dental practice than the quality of Dr. Barbon's work. The people running the front desk are incompetent and shady. A few months ago I was told that I have 4 cavities. I'm still not quite sure that I believe them, but they told me it would be $800. I have amazing dental insurance and said, "No way that can be the correct pricing. I'll need to call Cigna." Immediately the woman at the front desk said, " Oh no problem. We can do it for a zero charge." How did my total go from $800 to $0 without her even looking at my insurance?? Fast forward a few months later (yes, I was dumb enough to book another appointment after that) and I emailed with one of the receptionists a few times to schedule an appointment. Her poor grammar and broken English via email should have given me a clue that I could not trust what she was saying, but I specifically asked several times if my cleaning would still include a free whitening during the appointment. She said yes. I arrived to my appointment and was told that they don't do them on the same day. I was very frustrated and told her that I had an email trail showing that I was told that they did and she said, "You don't need to raise your voice. I'm not deaf." That was strike 3. Dr. Barbon lost both myself and my husband as patients thanks to his shady, incompetent, rude staff. read more
