My daughter has been going to Dr. Rick since she was a toddler…read more Due to age (getting older), we were told she is ready to see a primary dentist. After (2) different primary dentist visits, both had the same results of 14 cavities. We have been faithfully going every 6 months. Not once have we ever been told about any issues. So much for preventive care. We can't wrap around on how an individual can get 14 cavities within a year... Dr Rick and staff are clearly not doing their job. Shame on you. Look elsewhere or advocate for you and your family. Clearly Small World Dentistry doesn't care.

Since apparently my other review was somehow deleted, but either way I still feel like I need to…read moresay it again. I was a patient throughout 2011-2020. For years 2013-2016, I was mistreated and am now here out the the anger of my PTSD. 1: They did work on me that both my mom and I think was unnecessary, as I recall never feeling pain or any signs of cavities or abscesses in the teeth that needed to be work on, extensively, with apparently enough numbing being laughing gas and an "anesthesia" covered scraper, poked hard into my gums. 2: Apparently, they thought that the issue was that I was not happy with the dentists, considering at the time of the abuse, I was between 5-8 years old. So instead of giving me actual numbing to do work that I believe was not needed, they changed me to a different dentist. 3: In May of 2021, I switched to a nicer, local dentist, he asked this office for the files with my history and they refused to give them to him. Hiding your abuse, eh? 4: My mom was not allowed to be in the room with me after I turned 5, because apparently that's the age where children and old and mature enough to go anywhere without their parents, shit, we should make the drinking age 5 if you think that 5 is the age where people are comfortable being on their own! 5: They told my mom for years and years that i should get braces, not when I have adult teeth, IMMEDIATELY, put braces on baby teeth and have them fall out and fuck up your adult teeth! Anyways I got Invisalign from a nicer, local orthodontist and not these child abusers. This place hurts children for no reason for money, take my word. You guys are lucky, when malpractice happens to a minor they have until they're 18 to sue, and we don't want to sue as of now due to how hard malpractice cases are to win. Maybe it was by design? To make money and not face consequences? I can tell you who I am, and we'll see what you have to say.

The exam room has a TV on the ceiling so kiddos are distracted while dental work is being done. Kids also get a token to use for a prize once the exam is complete. Standard cleanings have gone really well. Recently, my daughter fell off of her bike and landed on her face. Everything seemed fine until two weeks later when one of her front teeth started turning gray. We called the office and were reassured that all should be fine, teeth bruise, and as long as long as she is not in pain and her gum looks ok we can wait until her next exam which was only a week and a half away. I felt so much better. I cannot imagine a better pediatric dental experience!

Growing Smiles is such an amazing pediatric dentist! We just brought our son here for his first…read moredental visit and were so pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. Everything about the office is super exciting and inviting -- especially for a two year old! I don't think he felt an ounce of fear. The dental hygienist did a great job showing him the tools and being so patient with him. It warmed my heart to see how much they truly care about the kids. They have tvs on the screen, which I think makes for the perfect distraction. He flossed, got a cleaning, and then our dentist, Dr Shah, came in and looked over his teeth and gave us some tips/tricks for brushing with a two year old. She is great and we feel like our little guy is in the best hands!

I had a gut feeling something was off, so I decided to trust it--and that decision led me straight to Dr. Showers . The moment I walked in, I felt calm. The staff was so kind and welcoming and the energy in the office just felt different... peaceful, honest, safe. Dr. Showers was everything I didn't know I needed--wise, clear, and genuinely caring. His presence alone felt like a blessing . Instead of jumping into treatment, he walked me through all my options with compassion and knowledge. He even explained the possibility of going the natural route. That moment of honesty gave me clarity and peace of mind ‍. I didn't need the root canal. I saved so much money but more importantly, I felt seen and respected as a patient and a person. That's rare. That's priceless . I've already recommended this place to friends because when something feels this right, you want to share it with the people you care about . Thank you, Dr. Showers, for living up to your name and showering me in blessings And thank you to the entire staff for making me feel at home

They would tell me that the Maryland Bridge is outdated. Nobody uses that technology anymore, everybody uses implants now . The west coast is ALL about implants. They'll try to tap into your insecurities to persuade you into changing your mind. It's truly surprising how relentless they are. My bridge came out and no one would offer a solution to what I wanted. It was ALL about what they wanted and how they felt about it. It doesn't matter if I go to Beverly Hills, Encino, Venice, the valley, 5 star ratings and reviews, THEY ALL SUCK! Almost $1000 later, a tore up mouth from the new "stay plate" (that didn't stay in my mouth) made by another new dentist, feeling discourage, upset, and mad over every LA dentists pushing implants that would cost me 10k. I got on a plane from LAX and came here to finally get my teeth fixed by professionals!! I can't thank Dr. Michelle Singapori enough for fixing my HUGE problem! I was out of my network for health insurance but they made it really affordable for me. I paid less out of pocket at Dr Singapori office to fix me, then being in network in LA and paying to see new dentists to help me fix my problem. If I was my insurance I would pay them. Cheaper than seeing every single shady dentist in LA. Thank you Dr Singapori!

The next day they told me they had an opening and I was able to go at the open time slots. Everything done via text. Very efficient. The entire staff was great. I got X-rays and a cleaning. They kept checking in to see if I was ok, and if I'm doing good. They even allow you to put on anything you want on Netflix if you want. Never had a dentist offer that haha The cleaning went great. Fast, and pain free. I've had some pretty rough cleanings before, this was as pleasant as it could be. I am coming back in to get a new retainer. And before I left they gave me an estimate of how much it would cost and they put me on the calendar for the return visit.

Her approach to her patients' treatment is one of the most compassionate and ethical I have ever seen. As a result of the practice's incomparable reputation, it is a busy practice. However, I have seen how the entire office works to accommodate patients who have dental emergencies. She treats every patient as if it were a member of her family. For this reason, even though I am no longer a part of her team, I am still a patient. This practice is the only practice I recommend my friends to go to. I know that they will be attentively cared for by the entire staff.

They charged me about 450$ for nitrous gas and the treatment. He would not sit still. He has terrible anxiety about the noise and the look of the instruments. The Dr. who was extremely pleasant and patient said she would give him a temporary sealant. This temporary sealant fell off while we were flossing and brushing. They set up a new appointment and quoted me 105$ and after we went the second time the charge was 275$. How did something go from 105 to 275? 675$ for one tooth that was never filled after three visits? Sinful. Today we went to get the regular check up at our dentist around the corner. The dentist told me that whatever they filled the tooth with has fallen out. I'm 675 plus out of pocket and there is still a cavity in his mouth that has not been filled. This Yummy dental is a scam for either people who have money to burn or your insurance covers everything. Will never be going there again. I'd like my money back. Send me a check.
