Downtown Dental

They were able to schedule me for an appointment right away, which I really appreciated. Pria the dental assistant was very warm and welcoming. The Dentist was rather impersonal - I prefer someone more engaging. I went here because I wanted 2 fillings done since my normal dentist is on an extended vacation. My regular dentist quoted me $110 after insurance for the fillings. Downtown Dental refused to do my back filling without a crown, and quoted me around $1,400 after insurance. They did do a panoramic X-ray and found an additional cavity my normal dentist didn't find (I'm eager to get his second opinion). It seems like they offer top of the line care, but it's definitely not practical for all.

what an amazing experience! I was never a fan of going to the dentist, just went for a cleaning maybe every two years, but decided to go to downtown dental since it was close to work and WOW! the staff was friendly and nice. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by passion who made my life easy. she was fantastic all the paperwork was done digitally (maybe it's been that long since I've seen a dentist) I was taken to my room where Lali took all my x-rays and did a cool 3d scan of my teeth. she was great too made my x-ray experience easy and fun. then I waited for my dentist who was Tara I was nervous at first but let me tell you I'm coming back every 3 months for a cleaning. The first dentist I have had that I was comfortable with and took the time to go over my x-rays and explain where and why I need fillings and most importantly she showed me why I need Invisalign. SHE WAS FANTASTIC! on my way out I was introduced to Priyam for my billing, and she saved the day, she had already looked up my insurance and attached it to my account. I enjoyed my dental experience, I highly recommend Downtown Dental, thank you guys for an amazing experience!

The individuals in the office are friendly and efficient, however, I went in for a general cleaning and they suggested Invisalign. As it was something I was already considering, I heard about what they had to say. They pushed me into a 3 year contract, saying that my teeth would easily take that long. I am now 12 weeks into Invisalign and my teeth are straight. When you go to a dentist you expect them to suggest the best thing for your health and not for their pocketbooks. I feel completely scammed.

- I was asked to pay before any services rendered. They say they take all PPO insurance, but they charge you the full amount and say your insurance will send you a check. Online they say they have a $99 new client special, but they still charged me $199 (non of this was explained before I entered their facility)
- I interacted with 5 different techs, all very kind and nice, but it was all a distraction
- my teeth cleaning only lasted 15 minutes
- I came in to get a new night gaurd but the dentist and dental hygienist spent a great deal of time trying to pitch me on a $5800 Invisalign system, I left without any information about the night guard or even if I had any cavities. It felt like a scam. I had never interacted with these people before and the main impression I had is that they wanted my money.
- they do not have your best interest at heart, they just want to upsell you

- extremely disappointed

I recently moved to Los Angeles from WA State and was overwhelmed with finding a new dentist office. I chose Downtown Dental base off the reviews and they definitely lived up to my expectations. Dr. Tara is amazing! She is personable, friendly, and knows her ish about teeth lol. She definitely made me feel welcomed and understood all my concerns. Every staff member I have encountered has been so nice and caring.

I made an appointment for tooth extraction with Orthodontist's letter with this place and they refused to extract my teeth even though I have a letter from a doctor. Instead they were trying to sell me their service for Invisalign even though I am in the process with another place and I already have braces. They tried so hard to sell their service while I am just there for tooth extraction. They didn't do anything to my teeth and charged me $99 for the visit. Just a joke!

The staff here was amazing! I enjoyed the customer care and appreciation from the whole team (Susie, Dr. McCall, Priam, Dr. Rizk - hope I spelled everyone’s name correctly!). My cleaning and check up went smoothly from start to finish. 100/10 would definitely recommend

Wanted to say Thank you for the great work and on my beautiful teeth!! Everybody in the office so professional, friendly, well organized and enjoy every visit!! I greatly appreciate each and everyone that keeps me coming back!! Love this office

Best dental office in the business!! Since the last time I went the staff is full of friendly new faces and it’s better than ever before 💯

Passion, Tahnee, Jessica, Susie, Lali, Priyam, Sol, Jesse, Dr.Tara, Dr.Chen & everyone else on the team, thank you all for really providing the best possible care I could ask for 🙏🏾

I wasn't sure how to rate this place. My first visit for a cleaning was very pleasant. The staff is very nice and the office is very clean. It's also very cold in the office so either bring a jacket or they have blankets for you which is nice.
My second visit for a filling was however less pleasant. They numbed me and then left me for 35 minutes by myself. Then the dentist came again and numbed me a second time because I was there for so long. Let me tell you, sitting alone at the dentist with a numb mouth, not the best. And I was annoyed that I had to get numbed a second time. The rest was okay but I wish they didn't leave me because the appointment took way longer then they said it would.
Overall it was just okay. I know they do invisalign here as well.
