If you are looking for an endodontist who combines top-tier clinical expertise with a genuinely patient-first approach, I highly recommend Dr. Yigal Zibari. While visiting from San Diego to seek a second opinion from my brother (a dentist in Manhattan Beach, CA), I was facing a time-sensitive dental issue right before a heavy professional travel schedule. I needed an expert evaluation immediately, and Dr. Zibari's office went above and beyond, showing immense flexibility by fitting me into the schedule on very short notice. Dr. Zibari's friendly, welcoming, and highly professional demeanor instantly took the anxiety out of the visit. He was thorough, transparent, and precise in his diagnostic work, ensuring I understood every step of the process. In a profession where quality and trust are everything, Dr. Zibari stands out as an exceptional clinician. Thank you to Dr. Zibari and his team for their swift, expert, and accommodating care! read more

I got referred out to Dr. Zibari to complete some endodontic work. From start to finish it was a great experience. The office was well located, bright, clean and tastefully decorated. His staff was extremely professional and attentive and there was virtually no wait. I have to say, for someone who has spent alot of time at the dentist, this was hands down one of the most relaxing and comfortable visits I've had. Things were explained thoroughly which helped put me at ease and it didn't have the typical sounds of shrieking drills and fatigue from having to hold open my mouth because there were tools available for that. Dr. ZibariI had a calming, gentle manner and I would highly recommend his office for your endodontic needs! read more

What a wonderful experience again! I always love coming in and catching up with DR Z! He's so cool and nice. His assistant is phenomenal! They are a great team! I'd highly recommend getting a root Chanel here. read more

See all

It was supposed to be a stressful experience BUT Dr. Zibari made it more than bearable. He talked me thru' and made the whole time less stressful. He is so kind, professional, and willing to make every step easy for me. I had extra nerves in my tooth and he took more time than he scheduled to finish my root canal. I hope I don't have to go back there... But will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs to have their root canal done. read more

When my dentist told me he gets his root canals done here, that was good enough for me. Dr Yigal was great. His receptionist is very friendly and his dental assistant was as well. Dr Yigal was gentle and made the experience of a root canal about as painless and comfortable as one could possibly make it. I'm back to eating with full gusto! read more

Clean, kind and on time! Great place for all root canal needs! Grateful to Dr Zibari and the entire team

I was referred to Dr. Zibari by my regular dentist. Needing an emergency root canal, Dr. Zibari fit me in last-minute - thank you! Dr. Zibari and his assistant were outstanding, simply put. Professional. Explained everything in great detail. Instilled confidence with his warm demeanor. As good as it gets - 5 stars. Thank you Dr. Zibari & team! read more

In short, Dr. Zibari is FANTASTIC. With a few more details, I am usually skeptical of dental work but Dr. Yigal Zibari made me feel comfortable and created a sense of trust. He explained everything that will, could or might happen and what the scenarios could be and what I need to do. All clear and easy to understand information. He just flips a switch and it's game time. I had a split root canal (which he said they are fun to work on which showed me how much he loves his profession and cares about his work). he did quick work of it like it was nothing. I was so comfy I was falling asleep while he was going to town with the state of the art equipment that he has. I did not feel a thing. He was impressive to say the least. He also found time to call later in the evening to check if everything was ok with my tooth and if I had any pain or anything. Very caring. Literally the best doctor I've ever been to and I recommend him to anyone who needs dental work done. read more

Dr. Zibari is an outstanding endodontist. I couldn't have asked for a better dental experience. I had a fractured back molar with several, out of the norm complications. So not the easiest case coming into his office. I was in a lot of pain. So I can't tell you how thankful I am that Dr. Zibari was able to see me asap. He has a very busy practice. So seeing me on such short notice was him being a kind, empathetic person. Dr. Zibari was very thorough and scientific in diagnosing my issue. And he presented my options simply and clearly. I had a lot of questions. He answered every one with great patience and understanding. As for the root canal procedure itself? Virtually painless. It was such a pleasant surprise. I didn't feel a thing. From the initial numbing injection to the root canal itself, absolutely no discomfort or pain. Never thought I'd say a root canal could be an amazing experience, but as root canals go, this one was amazing. No pain or discomfort at all. Which speaks volumes of Dr. Zibari's skill as an endodontist. His office is just super calming. And his staff are all very kind and patient. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. So if you're in need of a great endodontist, just give Dr. Zibari's office a call. He's the best. read more

Saw an Endodontics 18 months ago. Said I needed a molar pulled and a root canal of another tooth redone. I wasn't feeling any pain, so I did nothing. Fast forward to today. Sought out a second opinion from Dr. Zibari, who -- after x-rays and 3D imaging -- said I need to do NOTHING. Come back when, and if, the tooth chips or I feel pain. Wow! How's that for HONEST?! Plus, he's a gem of a guy... competent, professional, yes -- but also kind, friendly, respectful. What more do you want? How about office staff that is equally competent, professional, warm, welcoming, kind, helpful. Ok. You get that, too. This.place.is.GREAT. read more

I have been to this office multiple times over the years. The quality of work, the care, the personal touches have never changed. Dr Z is an outstanding human being, and I'm grateful for the work he does and I'm continually impressed by his level of skill and precision. Now he is on the expensive side for sure, but you really can't complain based on the work that he does, he is worth it. The only reason I would not see him, is if I couldn't afford it, otherwise this is the guy. If your having anything to do with root canals then this is your first stop. read more

I found Dr Zibari through Yelp and was very impressed by his 5 star rating and multiple positive reviews from patients. I would recommend him to anyone needing root canal surgery. He has excellent training, and his professional demeanor and communication skills are excellent as well. His office is efficiently run with excellent staff and modern equipment. My root canal surgery was far easier then I anticipated, and I would recommend Dr Zibari to anyone needing an endodontist. read more

Everyone shutters when they hear the word "root canal" and like most, I have had my fair share both good and bad. What sets a great endodontist apart from all the rest is not only their experience but their bedside manner and their interaction with their patients. I recently took my mother to visit Dr. Zibari and we could not be happier. He is a true professional with great precision, accuracy and incredible bedside manner. From the get go he seemed caring and concerned about the inflammation and my mother's anxiety. He took the time to explain every step of the way made sure we were both on board with what was going on. He even called for a follow up to make sure my mother was ok. My mother had no pain, no discomfort and no issues! If you are looking for an endodontist with laser focus, attention to detail and a heart of gold I highly recommend Manhattan Beach Endodontics, and Dr. Yigal Zibari. read more

Was referred to Dr.Zibari by my Dentist. Best experience I've ever had. Dr. Zibari & his staff are AMAZING. Made the whole process extremely easy & painless. Had a root canal done & felt no pain. I was able to go back to work with no issue right after the procedure. If I could get all my dental needs done here I would! Thank you read more

Dr. Yigal is great! Western Dental completely messed up my root canal I had to go to an endodontist to get it looked at. Dr. Yigal warned me he might not be able to save it but he would try, and he did try. Sadly my tooth cannot be saved but I trust him for future work. read more

Dr Zibari and his staff are off the charts amazing. So thankful my friend recommended him. I'd never ever go to another endodontist. If I could give ten stars, I sure would! read more

I was referred to Dr. Zibari (a few years back) by MB's finest dentist, Dr. Brian Wither's after I rolled into his office complaining about an excruciating pain in my jaw. They phoned Dr. Z. and his staff fit me in immediately. Once I was there Dr. Z informed me that I needed a root canal A.S.A.P. and my anxiety went right through the roof. He sensed my fear and calmed my nerves right away, and treated me as though I was a member of his family or his best friend. He assured me the whole way through that if I felt anything he would stop and would administer more numbing medication...he kept his promise and kept me extremely comfortable the entire time. Dr. Zibari is incredibly skilled in his line of work and is the best Endodontist in Los Angeles. I hope I never need another root canal...but know who to see if I do. Thank you Dr. Z. and staff for your patience, professionalism, and friendly faces. Side-note: I was on State insurance at the time and had to pay out of pocket to see Dr. Zibari. He worked with me the best he could and I will always be grateful for his kindness and generosity. read more

Totally recommend this Root Canal specialist. I was in need of possibly 2 root canals . Yes 2! Dr Zibari said only 1 was needed !This office makes everything so stress free . Especially during covid! No paper work to sign in office; I was able to do it from the convince of my home. My appt time was at 3:20 I was seated at 3:25pm. Talk about being sharp!!! I forgot to mention I myself work in the dental field for 10+ yrs and trust me I know a great dentist from an okay dentist. Thank You Dr Zibari your the best in the South Bay!!!! #DentistryRocks read more

I had the best experience ever here! Dr. Zibari did a root canal for me, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He and his staff are absolutely top notch, and gave me the best service I could possibly ask for. First of all, Sharon at the front desk is super nice and helpful, every time I called she was cheerful and worked extra hard to try to squeeze me into the schedule when the books were tight. Dr. Zibari is world class at what he does, and is truly a prince among men. Super nice guy, super straight up about the root canal when he gave me a consultation. He told me that realistically it might not work out, but he would be happy to do it if I wanted to. He said, "I mean, I would do it for my brother - no question - but then my brother would get it for free." As you can see, he has a great sense of humor. I decided to go for it and give it a shot. Well, after the root canal was finished (probably 45-60 mins in the chair - absolutely zero pain, I think I actually fell asleep ;-) he showed me an x-ray (or digital image, I can't remember exactly) of the root canal he had just done. He seemed very pleased, and said it had turned out very well. Woo hoo! Here's the thing that maybe impressed me the most of all, on top of all the great service: The next day, my cell phone rings, it's a local number I don't recognize, and so I answer. It was Dr. Zibari calling me personally to ask how I was feeling and how was my tooth!! I was totally surprised and impressed. Now that is a gesture that truly puts the CARE into healthcare! Thank you Dr. Zibari - you are the MAN!! =) Tom ps - thanks again Sharon and the rest of the staff! read more

It's been awhile ago but I wanted to come back and say Dr. Zibari was a great doctor when he performed my root canal! There was no pain involved and I wanted to thank him for helping me getting rid of my tooth pain. The whole staff was also great and the office seems clean! Dr. Zibari followed up with me himself after the procedure to see how I was doing and I was blown away as I never had a doctor call me personally before. Thank you again! read more

I had two root canals done by Dr Z. Extremely competent and painless since I am sensitive to it. State of the art newest medical equipment and techniques. I would give him a 10 star if I could. read more

Look, you need a root canal right? Well, let's just say that I understand what pain is. I also will say that Dr. Z was amazing. Truthfully, during the procedure I fell asleep AND woke up 2x because I snored myself away. I'd say that speaks for itself. For the record, I cannot stand shots from any doctor...period. Post recovery is always supposed to be a b---, a bear, but seriously I only had to take 4 tylenols the next day and was eating and drinking within 24 hours. Of course, everyones pain threshold operates differently but I have had 5 root canals in my life time and this? God I hopeI never need another but if I do, trust me, I'm knocking his door. read more

Dr. Zibari saved my tooth by re-doing my root canal that have been infected for 5+years. He is very friendly and professional and I felt like I was in really good hands from the first consultation to the whole 2hr long procedure. He even gave me a call himself later that day to make sure I'm doing ok. I highly recommend to visit his office! read more

Referred here by Dr Brian from Withers Dental- who, side note, is also awesome, but that's another review! I was in town on vacation when I ended up needing an emergency root canal. Dr Z was so patient with me, fit me into his schedule last minute and took care of it all same day! I was a nervous wreck because I've never had a root canal before but he made things as pain-free as possible and helped to keep me calm. Would highly recommend this office and all of his staff - easily five stars!! Thank you! read more

Dr. Zibari is fantastic! I don't have much to add beyond what other patients have said, but he really goes above and beyond with patient outreach and keeping you informed. read more

I was out of state and experiencing severe tooth pain. I got a consult from a local dentist and was told I needed an emergency root canal (I had never had one). I called my long-term dentist (Dr. Brian Withers of Withers Dental - fantastic), who recommended Dr. Zibari. In mere minutes Dr. Brian had corresponded with Dr. Zibari's office and an appointment was made (I suspect they added an appointment at the end of the day for me since I was getting off a plane which is beyond nice). They also sent me the convenient, easy-to-navigate, online patient forms right away. From the moment I stepped into the office and met the team I knew I was in good hands. I immediately felt less nervous. Not only was the procedure painless but I have NO PAIN the afterwards or in the days to follow. Dr. Zibari explained what he was doing every step of the way, complete with a slide show at the end to show me the work he'd done. Furthermore, he placed a call to my dentist to let him know how everything went within minutes of me leaving (definitely off the clock, taking time out of his own evening). In a nutshell: If you have to get a root canal, this is the man you want to go to. In the words of my dentist, "He's an artist." ** P.S. IF YOU LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE LA AREA, IT'S WELL WORTH THE TRIP TO THE SOUTH BAY TO SEE DR. ZIBARI. read more

Can't say enough good things about this Doctor. He is ALWAYS willing to go the extra mile for his patients. He calls to check on you. He stays late when you have an emergency at the end of the day. His work is amazing, you don't need any dental knowledge to easily see how amazing his work is on the final x ray he shows you. If you are looking for an Endodontist, look no further. If your dentist doesn't work with him, then let your dentist know that they are missing out. I have many friends who have been in to see him, and the results are the same across the board. Woohoo! DEFINITELY as good as it gets. read more

This guy is so amazing he cured me of my fear of the dentist!!! I had to have 2 root canals and was so afraid to go get them done, I waited until I was in so much pain it was necessary. After being referred to him by another amazing dentist who is doing the crowns, I went and had the two root canals done and everything was amazing from start to finish!! There was no one else in the office and the windows were open with a nice breeze so I felt totally safe Covid wise, the office was beautiful and clean, They were so nice and made me feel at ease! The best part was when he did the Novocain, he didn't even have to put numbing cream on and I didn't even feel it at all!!! I have no idea how he even did that the guy has serious skills!!! Completely cured me of my fear of the dentist could not recommend anyone better to go to!! read more

Dr. Zibari performed my root canal. With my oddly shaped roots, he was able to navigate the canal through the use of his microscope. His technique is flawless and his hygienist was on the spot. She was able to anticipate everything he was about to perform, and they executed flawlessly like a complex orchestrated dance. He also takes the time to explain everything that is happening, which is something analytical people like me can appreciate. Finally, Dr. Z takes the time by following up with a personal phone call to make sure the treatment was successful. I, unfortunately got referred to another practice for my crown--I really wish he was the one doing it. Look no further--Dr. Z is the man. read more

My second root canal with Dr Zibari was painless. He has an outstanding staff and state-of-the-art equipment. Prior to my root canal Dr Zibari explained the procedure, answered all questions and flawlessly executed the root canal procedure. After my root canal Dr Zibari called me the check to see how I was feeling. He is one of the best endodontists in the industry. I highly recommend Dr Zibari for any root canal procedure!! read more

Amazing doctor. Very caring and always follows up with patients. He saved my smile and I'm forever grateful.

Dr. Zibari was incredible. I called in the afternoon in pain and he took me right away. He did a root canal and he and his staff stayed well after closing time to finish. He did a great job and if I ever need another one he will be the guy to do it. read more

I am the world's biggest dental chicken, so this review should weigh a lot! Today I saw Dr. Zibari for a root canal that I had put off way too long, making it more complicated! From the moment I walked in the office, I was greeted with kindness and understanding from Erica at the front desk, Dolores the dental assistant, and Dr. Zibari. What impressed me most was the interaction between Dr. Zibari and his coworkers! Dr. Zibari and his assistant, Dolores, were completely in sync during the entire duration of my procedure, and he treated her as the professional that she is. To me, this is most important. Highly recommend! read more

Note on this review: I had written the following review a couple months ago and saved it. I apologize for its tardiness, but my feelings remain the same: Dr. Zibari is a rock star! I cannot thank Dr. Zibari and his wonderful staff enough. Today, in a flash, I went from throbbing pain in my tooth and jaw to pain free. They fit me in last minute which is not the norm in my experience with doctors these days and tonight, amazingly, I am feeling like my old self. I was recommended to Dr. Zibari by my dentist. Being that I did not know Dr. Zibari, my husband rallied for a second opinion, but I was in such discomfort, I did not care. I was not expecting to have a root canal on our first meeting, I was expecting diagnostics and a future appointment as it was late in the day. What I got is a doctor that cared about my well being and willing to take on a last minute patient with a not so easy procedure. That to me is exceptional. If you can call a root canal great, then it was great. Easy. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Dr. Zabari and his wonderful team!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Zibari and his staff. 10 STARS!!! My husband and I both had urgent endontontal emergencies that were handled expertly and immediately by Dr Zibari. As anyone who's had a serious problem like root infection or abscess, it is beyond anxiety provoking and painful. Post-procedure, Dr Zibari called several times, after hours to follow-up. His care, concern, expertise and "bedside" manner are beyond reproach. Thank you Dr Zibari & staff! read more

Dr. Zibari was my life savor! I needed a root canal and I was in so much pain! I was a nervous wreck! Took my in the same day as well. He calmed down and did an amazing job and his assistant was on point as well! The staff is great too! I recommend him all the way. read more

I have always had a lot of anxiety when going to a dentist, but even more so when having to get my first root canal. After reading all the glowing reviews for Dr. Zibari, I decided to schedule an appointment. His staff was very kind and courteous when I got there, which instantly put me at ease. When Dr. Zibari came in, he had such a calming presence that my anxiety dissipated even further. I was bracing myself for what I thought was going to be a painful experience, but I was amazed at how there was absolutely no pain! I didn't even feel the novocaine injections which were done without numbing gel. Not only were the injections painless, but my mouth was not numb after the root canal, when I have always had half my mouth numb for hours after going to any dentist. The root canal itself was pain free from start to finish! To my further surprise, he called me personally to follow up after he was done working for the day to see how I was doing. I have NEVER had any medical professional follow up after a visit. The fact that I would rather get a root canal done by Dr. Zibari than get a regular teeth cleaning should speak volumes. I do not write yelp reviews, but I was compelled to share my very positive experience and I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Zibari. read more

I was referred to Dr Zibari by my dentist Dr. Calleros. I had an abscess attached to my #3 molar that had a root canal done on it long ago. He said he wanted to redo the root canal at a cost of $1,500.00 then open up the side of my gum and extract any thing left of the abscess for an additional $1,776.00. I don't have insurance. When I went to pay the exam fee of $150.00 with my Amex card they would not take it. Luckily I had $150.00 in my wallet. Dr. Zibari is probably a great Endodontist, if you have insurance. I got a 2nd opinion, went to Dr Singer who managed to replace the root canal and remove the abscess for less than $1500. On the same day I called him. I get the feeling some of these doctors just look at their clients as dollar signs and not people with other bills to pay. read more

Dr. Zibari and his staff are wonderful. They very professional in the way their staff know their positions, deliverying care and expertise. Dr. Zibari took excellent care, time and percision in performing a successful rrot canal without damaging the crown only a year and half old. I would highly recommend Dr. Zibari, as they made the experience from start to finish the very best it could be. Thank You, John W. Riley read more
