The key to me, was post-operation trauma, which there was none. Mind blown. "How?" I have stitches in my mouth. But coming home, first rinse, and the water was clear. "How in the?" And indeed, the next day, no swelling, no pain, just, feeling stupidly normal, dumbfounded, knowing clear well 24-hours ago I was knocked out for surgery. This level of skill mastery has to be marveled, and I hope studied by young up-n-coming surgeons. An absolutely amazing, Healer from the Heavens. Thank you Dr. Miyatake. It is more than clear, the tremendous care you put into your craft, the same care you offer to your patients. Thank you for healing me

    PLEASE READ PRIOR TO COMMITTING TO THIS DOCTOR. Just like the other reviews have mentioned - this…read moredoctor is a scammer, disrespectful to her patients, and extremely unprofessional. I paid $175 out of pocket for another 3D x-ray to "locate my nerves," only for her to end up extracting one wisdom tooth instead of 2. She claimed that she couldn't take out my impacted wisdom tooth that has been causing me pain and took out the tooth that wasn't causing ANY ISSUES... told me I need to pay almost $800 for this ONE extraction. I asked to be referred to another doctor to take out the bottom tooth or if she could take it out and she told me I need to go back to my dentist for this referral. She also said " You need to be nice to the doctors or they won't take out the tooth for you." She then took it even further and blamed me for not getting my wisdom teeth, extracted earlier/ in my teens - stating that my bones are too hard and it's too difficult for her to take out my impacted tooth. Anybody with common sense knows that as we age, our teeth grow and bone hardens. As a former medical sales rep, I saw right through her tactics and sending patients to get another 3-D x-ray is all a referral network for her and the x-ray business to make more $$$. PLEASE GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE for your safety and sanity! She continuously interrupts patients when they are trying to speak or ask clarifying questions, and uses a bunch of anatomical filler words to try to make herself seem smart smarter than she is. Do not come here!!!!!!

And to bloom dental after I already went to two appointments with other dentist. I almost that morning canceled the appointment honestly That would have been a HUGE mistake on my end. The appointment was nothing but perfect when I went. I originally called in to see about getting bridges after consulting with one other dentist and a surgeon about getting 4 teeth extracted. When I first called, I wasn't sure but the receptionist almost encouraged me not to come in and let me know to make an appointment after my teeth got removed. I challenged and let the lady know that I wanted to have everything prepared in advanced she said she understood and she let me make an appointment and I am so grateful that she let me go to the appointment. that morning I almost canceled , I didn't know why , but my intuition was screaming loud and clear to go to bloom dental and I had a super crystal clear good feeling I didn't know why so I went, and I will say the staff and receptionist were welcoming, informative , the Dr's assistant who she mentioned specifically they been working in the office for 17 years has made me feel extremely comfortable she did the x Ray exam and was done in a breeze, they seem to have advance technology where other dentist make it sometimes painful when doing xrays, and made the process extremely comfortable what I am so grateful for was when after my x rays the Dr explained to me that I needed to have 5 teeth removed instead of four and the severity that was going on with my overall oral health. Dr Temir, if you are reading I am extremely grateful for you, no other dentist took the tome to explain what all my problems were and come up with a GAME PLAN. When I thought I was only coming in for bridges after surgery with a different office. Dr demir is experienced I can tell, highly skilled. Extremely knowledgeable, cares for his patients and has great expertise the fact that he gave me a game plan and his assistant got me me feel very calm as I was already nervous was A+++ Service, going to the dentist was is greatest fear of mine, I am actually afraid to go to the dentist from previois experience and I highly recommend bloom dental and I know and trust that this is the best of the best. I feel like that they can handle my case and now im ready to restore my oral health with the game plan they gave me. If you are reading this yelpers do yourself a favor book an appointment with bloom dental, I checked them out myself and was nothing but a great experience. Do yourself a favor! Thank you bloom dental and Dr temir for giving me hope and helping me just at the first visit. You have my trust and thank you Dr temir for taking the time to create a treatment plan for my case. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Forever grateful

From the first consultation, it was clear I was in the right hands. Dr. Ahani is calm, focused, and incredibly thorough.

The procedure itself was handled with skill and precision, and every follow-up visit reflected that same standard of excellence. Dr. Ahani takes the time to answer questions, check healing closely, and make sure nothing is overlooked. You never feel rushed -- only well cared for by someone who genuinely takes pride in doing things right. His team is just as impressive.

It's clear that Dr. Ahani has built a practice rooted in excellence, empathy, and respect -- and that shows in every interaction. If you're facing a more involved dental procedure and want to be sure it's done right, I can't recommend Dr. Ahani highly enough.

    "Not all dentists are created equal." This is the conclusion I reached after Dr. Ronderos treated…read moreme. Let me explain: I went to Dr. Ronderos at the recommendation of my Endodontist, Dr. Jean Yang. I had been going to my regular dentist for 10+ years (not naming names, but let's just say I will not go back to that dentist anymore). For about 2-months, my teeth grinding (bruxism) had gotten worse, and it was giving me progressively worsening SEVERE pain on my left lower molar. When I went to my regular dentist (actually 2-times). Without taking an X-ray for either exam, he visually examined me and concluded that my teeth looked fine. He said to keep using the night guard. And if the pain persists or gets worse, he would recommend a tooth extraction and an implant - due to the worsening pain. After my 2nd (and maybe last) visit, I knew I needed a 2nd opinion. So I went to see my client, who happens to also be a Peridontist (just like Dr. Ronderos). He agreed to examine my left lower molar and took an X-Ray and did a full exam on all the teeth. The X-Ray showed an active infection, so he prescribed some antibiotics, and his recommendation was that I do a Root Canal for that left lower molar, and he gave me a referral to his Endodontist, recommending a Root Canal. Thinking that I would need to do a Root Canal for sure, and wanting to locate a good Endodontist, I called around various Endodontist based on Yelp Reviews and I luckily found Dr. Jean Yang (Woodside Endodontics) on my own. At this point, I am completely on my own, with a severe and worsening tooth pain from severe daily teeth grinding and an active infection, thinking the worst - that I needed a Root Canal ASAP to relieve myself from the daily, VERY SEVERE tooth pain. Dr. Yang took a very methodical approach and gave me a thorough exam, and she first took X-Rays, then examined the teeth carefully, then she recommended to take a CT Scan to ensure there is no crack or fracture on that teeth. Her conclusion, after the detailed exam, is that the Root Canal may not be the correct solution. Given my teeth grinding and bruxism, she said even if she performed a Root Canal and saved that teeth, the bruxism would eventually crack that teeth and the Root Canal would be useless, because I would likely need an extraction and an implant. She said I have a peridontal issue, and she recommended me to see Dr. Ronderos. She said Dr. Ronderos is very busy and it might be difficult to get an appointment. I chose Dr. Ronderos because he was recommended by Dr. Yang, and I really want to best, most qualified dentist to work on my teeth. I was luckily able to get an appointment due to a cancellation, and saw Dr. Ronderos last week. Dr. Ronderos may have saved my teeth and made it unnecessary to do a Root Canal or an Implant. Dr. Ronderos looked at my CT Scans, and he carefully examined my teeth and my bite, and he concluded that I have an uneven bite, causing my teeth to exert significantly more pressure to my left bottom molar teeth. Imagine if that left bottom molar is the only teeth at the highest location, and is the only teeth that comes in contact with the top left molar, essentially getting ALL the pressure exerted throughout the day and into the night with bruxism. And even with the night guard, I would still wake up with a loose, shaky left bottom molar with SEVERE pain because that 1 singular tooth just got pummeled DAILY with all that grinding and pressure. So, Dr. Ronderos explained to me: I have 2 options: Option 1: Extract and Implant. Success rate is 98%. But there is Option 2, which he recommends, which is: adjust the teeth (grind/level down the teeth enamel slightly and grind down the night guard slightly - so that when I bite, the pressure would be evenly distributed throughout all the teeth, and not just on that 1, poor left bottom molar). He did a careful exam with the color strip, asked me to bite down and grind my teeth. He looked at the coloration on my molar, and my night guard, and did some careful adjustments on both the bottom left molar and the night guard. He also tested to ensure the nerve under that bottom left molar is still alive and well, and responsive to electric magnetic test, so that it would be worth saving. After all these tests, and careful adjustments, I left Dr. Ronderos' clinic with a renewed sense of optimism, and asked myself: "Why isn't every dentist like Dr. Ronderos? A dentist who carefully examines the patient and makes proper adjustments to really address the root cause of the problem." I left his clinic with a lingering tooth ache (from the grinding), however, 2 days after Dr. Ronderos' adjustment of my left bottom molar and the night guard, I now no longer feel pain, and I feel like that bottom left molar is becoming stronger and better, and now it no longer hurts. When I wake up, I no longer feel pain, and I don't need a Root Canal or an Implant. Dr. Rondero's and Dr. Yang are the only dentists I trust. Go see them!

I was originally referred to a different oral surgeon, but deep down I knew I could not go through with it because I did not feel comfortable.

She even reached out to him personally to let him know about my fears. When I met Dr. Reddy the very next day, I instantly felt at ease. His calm demeanor, compassion, and genuine understanding of dental anxiety made all the difference. When I asked when the procedure could be done, he surprised me by saying, "How about now?"
