SmileWell Family Dentistry

Dr. Jasmin Takemoto is my family's forever dentist. -So intelligent and kind with her approach to dental care and knowledgable about all facets of dentistry. Everything is explained in a clear, comprehensive manner. From the front desk staff to the dental hygienist, all let you know you are in excellent hands. The office is immaculate and modern. Parking is easy and plentiful. Highly recommended!

The dentist office I’ve been looking for my entire adult life. Why are so many dentists like used car salesman these days, upcharging you for things you don’t need (pressuring for a mouth cancer screening for non smokers in their 20s??) or slipping a teeth whitener ad in during your cleaning? SmileWell does exactly what I want—clean my teeth every six months, double check my gum health, and send me on my way. And they’re really nice when doing it!

After visiting countless offices around the greater Los Angeles area, I finally found a fantastic Dentist! Dr. Takemoto was outstanding! I have always been nervous about having work done and Dr. Takemoto and the hygenist Bhelle made me feel right at home. Their professionalism, kindness, love of cookies, and ability to talk me through my procedure really took the cake. I could tell they cared about me and were willing to work with my unique situation even going the extra mile to start treatment that day. Dr. Takemoto is such a sweet person. I have a complicated work schedule and this meant the world to me that I wouldn't have to take more time off work. It was so refreshing to see and hear the comradery between all the staff. It's clear that SmileWell Dental is one big happy family and they made me feel like family too. I have referred countless friends who have given nothing but the highest praise!

Different folks have different priorities for choosing a dentist. Mine include up-to-date competence - I like a professional who stays current on the developments in her field - and Dr. Jasmin Takemoto is amazingly up to date. I like a dentist who is considerate - someone who treats me like a human being and not just a source of income – Dr. Takemoto is warm, and caring and concerned, and really ranks way up there in overall thoughtfulness. And my comfort - hugely important to me! And Dr. Takemoto makes sure I'm comfortable, and ensures that any possible pain is properly controlled - don't want to sound like I'm a whiner, but - well, let's face it - I am! But not at Dr Takemoto’s office - her attention, care and concern provide the best dental experience I've ever had.

For some folks, I guess it would stop there, but let me also mention the courteous, responsive staff and office support - all 'round, this is as good as dentistry gets, from a patient's perspective. LOL - any questions? Just give them a call!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with the staff here. Dr. Hilario performed a wisdom teeth extraction and did an excellent job.
The team made such a deliberate effort to make sure I was comfortable.
No nonsense billing and a straightforward process. They are now my regular dentist.
Would highly recommend!

If your insurance doesn't cover the cost, they trick you and wait until the day of your appointment. Also, the dentist takes the liberty to make some extra services without you approving them, and tacs it onto the bill. Surprise! Surprise! Super bad ethics! Sneaky! I can't believe they are willing to lose clients over a few dollars. Social media companies are giving these businesses fake reviews to boost up business, but this review is real and genuine. I will absolutely be getting in touch with my insurance company to double check things. I don't trust them.

The best dental experience I’ve ever had

Their dentists and hygienists are incredibly gentle and skilled.

Front desk staff are very friendly and helpful.

Appointments start on time, so don’t be late!

No upselling and some of the best prices in the area to boot.

Dr. Pham is amazing!!!

I happily make the drive from downtown LA to this place.

5/5

I found Dr. Lontoc on Google...she had a lot of excellent reviews so I made an appointment and because of a cancellation, I was able to get an appointment that same day. As soon as I entered her office, I was assisted with some paperwork by a very pleasant staff person. She was totally awesome. When I finished my paper work, I was led into the dental room with the dental assistant who was as kind as the first person I met there. She took exrays and then Dr. Lontoc came in and I thought she was highly knowable and was able to help me. She was just as kind and gentle as her staff. I am supposed to followup with her in a week...at that time, I will make an appointment for a check up and cleaning. I have never written this long of a review but I know how difficult it is to pick a Dentist. If this helps someone trying to find a dentist, it is well worth the effort.

They have been my dentists for decades now. They have watched my children grow up from babies to adults themselves now. Dr Lontoc and her team are the best of the best. The employees know our names by heart. Ask how we are doing and how the kids are. They truly care! My teeth have never been so white and healthy than ever!! We will come here as long as we live in the area! If you want good work, friendly faces, and great teeth..... there is no other place than this one!!! ❤️ Trust me, I’m a medical professional and I am very picky!

The entire staff and team here at this dental clinic is excellent. I have been here several times and the care and treatment here are above and beyond. I got pregnant when I needed a filling and Dr Lontoc, gave me an advice to do it after I have the baby, she said if I was her sister she would not let me do it while pregnant. That was really nice and it stuck with me. I came back after I had my baby and Dr Pham took care of me and she is very gentle and she even gave me a mild anesthetic since I am breastfeeding. They are very considerate of my condition and I really appreciate that. I recommended my sister to come also and will have my husband have his dental needs done here. Will definitely recommend. Even the front desk staff are very nice and helpful. The assistants and hygienist are really great too! You feel secure and in good hands when you are there.
