Dr Seto is an excellent endodontists. I have experience with getting root canals. The quality of work Dr Seto did for me on my root canal is excellent and no pain afterwards. I value his opinion on treatments. Thank you for your professionalism Dr Seto. BONUS: His staff is very nice and knowledgeable. read more

I just had a big cervical surgery but before I could get it, I had to get clearance because of a possible dental infection I had from a failed double root canal. I had moved up to the Bay Area a couple of years ago but when I told my amazing former dentist down here about the 4 wildly different opinions I got from 4 different endodontists up there, he referred me to Dr Seto. I flew down here just to see him. I can't say enough about how professional, thorough and just plain nice Dr. Seto is. I had already researched the 3D camera systems that other endodontists used so I could see that Dr Seto has the absolute best state of the art imaging equipment. The combination of knowing that and experiencing his gentle and sincere disposition made me feel certain that his was the most accurate assessment I could ever get. You'd be very fortunate to be a patient of his! read more

Dr. Brandon Seto is truly the best of the best! After having two root canals done at another office that needed retreatment, I was incredibly nervous but Dr. Seto immediately put me at ease. He was patient, efficient, honest, and so compassionate throughout the entire process. His chairside manner is exceptional and he took the time to explain everything clearly and make sure I was comfortable every step of the way. His assistant Brenda was wonderful as well. The two of them work so well together and made the experience feel smooth, calm, and reassuring. Iris at the front desk made scheduling such a breeze and went above and beyond to accommodate my busy work schedule, which I truly appreciated. I cannot recommend Dr. Seto and his team enough. I would absolutely recommend him to all of my friends and family as well as anyone local to the area looking for an outstanding endodontist. Thank you all for making such a stressful situation so much easier! read more

Dr. Seto is an excellent dentist! I had some mysterious pain in my teeth and was sure it was coming from the top. He thought it was coming from the bottom teeth and he was right! Ultimately, I needed two root canals. He took a lot of time with me, with multiple appts to carefully diagnose and assess, to be sure both root canals were necessary. They were! Now I can finally eat again on my left side. Highly recommend Dr. Seto and his great office staff, too. read more

Two root canals. Both failed. He refused to admit to failure and sent me away with both teeth still infected. Now I'm looking at apicoectomy, major surgery on both teeth. NOT from Seto. read more

Doctor Seto and his staff go above and beyond for his patients. As someone who has high anxiety with dental work, Doctor Seto is calming and talented in his work leaving me confident that he will take care of me regardless of what procedure he may have to. 11/10 read more

I saw Dr. Brandon Seto on referral from a Beverly Hills dentist to the office. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Seto or his office. Dr. Seto is not only an expert in his field, but he is also warm, caring, knowledgeable, honest and kind. I am always nervous at the dentist, but as soon as he warmly greeted me and listened to my concerned I felt relaxed, and in good hands. I would give him a billion stars if I could. I wish all healthcare professionals had the qualities and kindness that he possesses read more

So glad my dentist recommended this place...especially since they were open on Saturday and took me right away with an emergency root canal..even though my original appointment was still one week away. Very professional office staff and I was fortunate Dr. Seto could do the procedure quickly and almost painlessly and very accommodating when I asked for an additional novocaine shot. Couldn't believe how quickly it was over. Can't recommend this office any more than I already do.. read more

Recommended and referred to from my dentist . The office space is super nice and clean but it is Santa Monica after all! The staff were super friendly and on top of it. They were a bit on a time table so even when I requested for more time for numbing they didn't allow for much extra time. However, I do appreciate their honesty. I was in there for a second root canal, and the doctor Seto reviewed and gave me the his honest opinion and experience where it would have gained him more money to have continue with the procedure as opposed to sending me back. I find that as I get older and the more dentist I see it is harder to find good dentists that are really there to look out for your health and the longevity of the pain that you will go through based on just completing a procedure to complete the procedure as opposed to providing a true analysis and what is beneficial for the patient. I really appreciate and I am thankful that I was able to go to this office and doctor to get a second opinion and highly recommend. read more

Excellent care. After having a root canal, I had no pain, and the following morning I went to the gym as I always do. I didn't use any pain medication. I recommend him highly! Great experience including the nurse and the front desk. Thank you! read more

My dentist recommended Brandon Seto for a routine root canal. The office was new and modern. The staff was fabulous and kind. The doctor is the best He is kind extremely knowledgeable and I recommend him highly. He made me feel comfortable and cared for. Thank you Dr Seto read more

I'm so thankful I found Dr. Seto! When I went to my regular dentist, he said the words you don't really want to hear: "root canal." And he referred me to Dr. Seto. Scheduling with Dr. Seto's office was really easy . And when I arrived at the office, I knew I was in good hands. The staff are friendly and very competent. The office is impeccably clean and totally state-of-the-art. Dr. Seto was so compassionate and capable. When I had heard the words "root canal" I was originally nervous, but Dr. Seto made it as close to a pleasant experience as one could imagine! (Who would have thought that I would ever type "root canal" and "pleasant" in the same sentence!) He was kind and empathetic, and he earned my confidence immediately. He has a gentle touch and paid close attention to my body language regarding my level of comfort, which I truly appreciate. And he did a terrific job. The procedure was virtually pain-free. I had a little soreness that night, and the next day I was feeling great. I recommend Dr. Seto very highly. read more

Thank you Dr Seto for your professionalism and honesty! What we thought was going to be a root canal ended up needing to be an extraction. I'm thankful to have been in his honest hands, because he could have totally sold me a root canal, and I wouldn't have known any better. Very friendly and clean office as well! read more

Dr. Brandon Seto is a wonderful endodontist with an equally wonderful staff! I needed a root canal and was having pain. Initially, I found Dr. Seto online and saw that he was highly recommended. I almost called to set up an appointment but then decided I should find out who my dentist recommends. I was pleasantly surprised when they said Dr. Seto! I called to make an appointment and mentioned the pain I was having so they fit me in that day!! Dr. Seto was fantastic in so many ways! I highly recommend him! read more

I was incredibly nervous to undergo my very first root canal, and I must say that Dr. Brandon Seto was amazing! It was honestly relatively pain-free, and now that I have to get a second root canal, I am no longer anxious about doing so! If you have to get a root canal, don't even think about going anywhere else! Great doctors here at their practice! I am very grateful for such professionalism, competence, and sensitivity for their patient's feelings! A huge thank you from Linda Thompson! read more

As a dental student, I was personally recommended and referred to Dr. Seto by my school faculty in my search to find a doctor who could perform a relatively newly developed and not yet widely available endodontic procedure to save my tooth from a future root canal. His staff was incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and responsive, getting me in within the week. I went for my appointment and found the office modern and beautiful, with free parking underneath. Dr. Seto took every opportunity to talk me through each aspect and step of the procedure, assuaging any nervousness I had about it, and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. He even allowed me to watch the entire treatment through a screen on his state-of-the-art microscope, stopping to point out and explain things that as a dental student, I would find relevant and applicable. He has an amazing soft touch and there was absolutely no pain during or after the treatment, and I received a follow-up inquiry the night of. It has been a couple weeks and my tooth feels 100%- no post-op sensitivity at all and I'm very optimistic regarding its prognosis. I have nothing but the utmost respect and gratitude for Dr. Seto and his staff and would not hesitate to recommend them to any of my dental colleagues, family, and patients. read more

I have been going to Dr. Brandon for many years now, and I just can't believe he is still as caring, patient and generous as ever. The staff are also very caring and attentive. The absolutely best endodontist clinic ever! Thanks so much! read more

I was feeling a bit apprehensive when I found out I needed my FIRST root canal. I've heard stories of painful experiences. However Dr. Brandon Seto assured me it would NOT be painful. AND HE WAS RIGHT! My mosquito bite from a few days earlier was more painful. I had NO pain from the root canal procedure or even from the injection area of the numbing medication! A few weeks later I was speaking with my cousin who also heard stories of people with painful root canal procedures. However she also had no pain from her root canal. When I asked her who did the procedure she said Dr. Rauth [can't remember if it was the father or the son] who are also in the same offices shared with Dr. Brandon Seto and his father! Thanks to Dr. Steven Cook who highly recommended to me any of the endodontics at this location. read more

Ouch! Once again I felt that stabbing pain whenever a liquid made contact with my recently crowned molar. After an "I need to get in today" visit with my long time Santa Monica dentist, they contacted Dr Seto, who was able to see me right away. After his exam, I heard the words nobody in a dentist chair wants to hear: "you need a root canal". I'd had one ten years ago and it wasn't as bad as I'd feared. I'd woken up with a throbbing toothache on a Saturday and was grateful to find a good oral surgeon that day. But maybe I just got lucky? This was an upper molar that had just been crowned...how's that going to work? Dr. Seto gave me the option of getting it done that day so I went for it. He explained that he'd drill through the new crown. After a few skillfully placed injections and wait time, he got to work. I don't see how one could make this process any easier or less painful. He has a calm easy manner and you just know you're in good hands. Afterwards, he gave me 4 Advil's for the rush hour drive back home to the valley and recommended taking more as needed. Well, I didn't have to. Next day I felt fine and was able to enjoy my morning coffee pain free. The office and staff are first rate and let's not forget the free ground level parking. read more

I had a very yellow tooth from a root canal I had when I was young. Dr. Seto very quickly and painlessly turned my tooth to the same color as the rest of them! Also after a misunderstanding with the front desk he called me directly to resolve the misunderstanding. His quality of service and his work is the best I've seen! He is the only endodontist I will go to now. read more

Just wonderful! As a practicing dentist on the west side myself, I'm familiar with most of the endodontists practicing here. My patients always come back really satisfied with his treatment and as such I have trusted him to treat my family through the years as well. This morning however, Dr. Seto has left me speechless! I had a filling done on one of my own teeth by a friend last year. Over the past couple of days, the tooth has started to bother me a bit but as a dentist myself, I was thinking how could I need a root canal? Well, last night (Friday night) the tooth flared up and my pain was unbearable. I called Dr. Seto's office at 7:30am (Saturday morning) expecting to leave a voicemail. Well, Iris his receptionist answered and rushed me right in. Despite being booked himself, Dr. Seto treated my tooth painlessly! I was so scared that because I was in excruciating pain, he would have a hard time numbing me. I was wrong. He was quick and detailed. I left so humbled and blessed to have such a talented colleague. Thanks a million!!! read more

I had a nightmare of a day when a simple visit to the dentist for what I thought to be a teeth grinding induced toothache turned into a referral to Dr. Seto and a root canal that same day. It's a bit out of my way, so it was great he was able to accommodate me the same day, especially since I had to go back for a second visit / root canal. Dr. Seto puts you at ease and the whole thing, albeit awkward, was completely painless. And at the end, the pain for the toothache that I had originally gone in for was completely gone! He sent me home with a prescription for antibiotics and an appointment to return in 2 weeks for a follow up root canal. I wasn't thrilled about having to go back, but it was included in the same price and shows how thorough Dr. Seto is in wanting to make sure that he got 100% of the infection. He also said I'll get a postcard in the mail in 6 months for a free x-ray / follow up to make sure things are healing properly. Because he drilled through my crown to treat the tooth, we had the option of whether to fill the crown or replace it. This wasn't entirely clear to me as he told me that the crown looked fine and I should be able to re-use it - but when I went back to my referring dentist - she said he would have only sent me back to her if it needed replacing. Turns out he just wanted her to take a look and give her opinion - but he hadn't called her before my appointment so there was a bunch of confusion as to why I was there because I didn't think it needed replacing. Just a small miscommunication and I could have asked more questions to make sure I fully understood the situation. Also the claim they sent in to my insurance (out of network) was lost in the mail and I had to follow up when it hadn't gone through over a month later. But once it went through, they promptly sent me a refund check for my over payment (they charged $500 for an estimate of my co-pay). All in all still very happy with the whole experience! read more

Doctor Brandon Seto is great! I was referred to this endodontics clinic by my general dentist - I had an old root canal that wasn't done properly, so a re-treatment was required before the crown could be placed on the tooth. Doctor Seto did an amazing job - the process was painless and took much less time than I had originally anticipated. He was very attentive and made sure to check in throughout the process to ensure I was comfortable. The staff was really nice as well. And there is a free parking! Definitely one of the best dental clinics out there. read more

My fiancé ended up needing a root canal. Dr. Brandon Seto is one of the endodontist that we refer out to at the practice I work at. It was really nice of them to accomodate us and get us in, in the middle of the day. My fiancé had been experiencing some discomfort on one of his teeth and when they opened up the filling the pulp was aggravated. So we decided to go ahead and get a root canal on the tooth. He no longer feels discomfort and is really happy with the job Dr. Brandon Seto did. My fiancé expressed how thorough the doctor was and is really happy with the result. I'm happy that my fiancé's tooth is no longer bothering him. read more

state of the art equipment. compassionate, expert care. read more

I was referred to see Dr Brandon S. for a root canal. First off, the office was super clean and elegant! The staff was Friendly and helpful. Dr Brandon Seto is amazing his hands maneuvering his tools without discomfort. Seemed like a quick simple procedure. With this being my first root canal, it was totally the opposite of what I read online and stories from friends. I would highly recommend him to friends and family for future dental issues. OH AND DID I MENTION FREE PARKING!?! Some offices don't even validate. Two Thumbs Up!!! read more

I took my brother to Dr. Brandon Seto earlier this week for an emergency root canal because of a dental abscess. Dr. Seto was fantastic - great disposition, very calm, and took the time to explain what was going on and what to expect. My brother was in a lot of pain and very scared prior to the procedure, and I was a little frazzled from all the angst, but both of us left feeling so much better that not only had the infection been treated, but that my brother was in very capable hands. The root canal was completely painless as well, despite major preexisting sensitivity to the area. Later in the day, my brother checked his voicemail and found that Dr. Seto had personally called to follow up and check, leaving his personal number in case there were any questions or concerns. That really impressed us both! That's something that *may* happen with a country doctor in a town with a pop. of 100, but in LA?! What a nice guy! My brother is recovering very well too. If I ever need a root canal, I don't care where I may be living, I'll go here. read more

If you want the best look no further, I cannot say enough good things about this office. My first appointment was last Saturday I was so nervous, I went in for an exam and a possible root canal. My first impression of the dental office was so relaxing the front office staff is just fantastic, and the Dentist was so professional, yet very compassionate, I felt so at ease due to the welcoming from the moment I walked in the door. When the assistant seated me she made sure I was comfortable, and within 5 minutes the Dentist Dr. Brandon Seto came in the room and introduced himself. Dr Seto explained everything to me I did not feel rushed and he answered all my questions. WOW a Doctor that actually had my best interest at hand. This is a ten star practice I would recommend to anyone needing endodontic treatment to search no more this is defiantly where you should go. They are the best! My next appointment is coming up I am actually looking forward to it. read more

As a practicing dentist, I was very particular about who I wanted to see for my root canal. I was so fortunate to find Dr Brandon seto's practice. His office was in a great space in Santa Monica with its own parking structure (very rare for medical offices on the Westside). His staff wa so friendly, in fact they made me a same day appointment because I was in pain. Dr seto did not only have great bedside manner, but his knowledge and confidence made me feel at ease the minute he examined me. He retreated one of my previous root canals and was very thorough and precise. I would highly recommend any of my patients to Dr Seto for endodontic therapy. read more

Brandon, Seto, DDS is a very nice and great specialist one I wanna to refer. He is responsible and kind to patients. I like him.

Dr. Seto accepted me for an emergency root canal. He was personable, trusting and kind. He took his time explaining the procedure. I had the unfortunate need for a second root canal shortly after the first and did not hesitate to return to Dr. Seto. In fact his office called me and move my appoint up to after hours because he knew I was experiencing discomfort. Dr. Seto is what all dentists should be, excellent, warm and personable. read more

I just LOVE these people. Sore tooth after crown replaced so my dentist referred me to dr. seto. first of all, everyone was just so genuinely friendly and caring it made you want to invite them to thanksgiving dinner :) dr. seto sr. examnined me first by testing my whole row of teeth's response to heat and cold. and sadly my root did not do too well. he was very gentlemanly and caring. he suggested a root canal and i was able to make one that same day. when i came back, i saw dr. brandon seto, dr. seto's son. i have to say that i have never automatically trusted a health care provider as much as i did brandon. i truly believed that he had no agenda other than to meet my needs. he repeated the earlier test, and it was negative. he let me know that i could come back in the morning if the pain came back, but otherwise he'd hope for the best. great, great place. lauren read more

Brandon Seto was referred to me by my general practitioner dentist (Dr. Kenneth Wong in Santa Monica). Dr. Wong is a five star GP, and suggested that for my Root Canal on my front tooth done 20+ years ago I get a second opinion on if it was done properly and if my front tooth would potentially require a porcelain veneer. Dr. Seto was extremely professional and patient, and provided expert advice. From my experience, he did not push me to do an operation that he did not feel was necessary (eg. a porcelain veneer on the tooth), and helped provide an accurate assessment of my situation. This helped me to make a more informed decision on if I want to get a veneer placed on the tooth (decided not to). In addition, his office is top notch, with state of the art equipment and digital x rays. The front desk staff is also professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Seto for all things root canal related. Note: Everyone's specific situation is different, so please do not take my review as dental advice. Would strongly suggest see a specialist. read more

Had my follow up appt. Dr. Seto is very gentle and I had no discomfort at all. I am 100% satisfied with his service. He also didn't charge me an additional fee for his service today. His staff said it was all included from the consultation fee. Even his staff is very nice. Aside from the great service, the parking is also free which is rare in Santa Monica. Thanks Dr. Brandon Seto! read more

Beyond amazing! I was in pain for a week and because it was radiating all over my lower and upper jaw and x-rays didn't show any cracks or chips so we had to wait and see. Finally, it was clear that my molar was the one and Dr. Seto did all 4 root canals on it (in two visits). The pain was gone along with the numbness of the shot and I was in disbelief. Dr. Seto has a light touch and flawless technique - virtuoso! Highly, highly recommended! read more

I really recommend this office for all who need a root canal, or a 2nd opinion for peace of mind. Dr. Seto is really amazing, and he has an incredible bedside manner so there is no need to be nervous at all. The office staff is simply amazing too, and the office is immaculate and comfortable. Parking is free while you are seeing the Dr., and I just can't say enough good things about Dr. Seto, or this office! Take good care of your teeth, you need them for life! :) read more

Friendly,great service, convenient hour of cooperation, and state of the art equipment. I love this dentist in one session he made the ache I was feeling for over 4month go away, something my regular dentist could not do. read more

Dr. Seto did a root canal for me and he was wonderful. The office is very clean and modern, the staff is super nice, and Dr. Seto is professional and knowledgeable, had a gentle touch, answered all of my questions clearly and patiently, and called to check on me the day after the root canal. A very positive experience! read more

Highly recommend this office for root canals, Especially if you're going to see Dr. Brandon Seto, He's AMAZING, super sweet and very patient! My 12 year old autistic son needed a root canal, Dr. Seto gave me a few options. #1 to get an anesthesiologist and have my son sedated for the whole process #2 work on the root canal little by little. I went with option #2. Dr. Seto didn't force my son to do anything he felt uncomfortable with and everything went just fine! My son actually wants to go to the dentist to get the root canal finished. Oh, I can't forget to mention his assistant, she's was awesome too, she is Super patient and sweet. Definitely going to spread the word about this office! read more

I have hypersensitive teeth and gums. Usually dentist and endo appointments leave me traumatized in bed for the rest of the day (no, seriously). My experience with Brandon Seto was not that. Brandon had a wonderful demeanor and was willing to answer my questions. He and his staff were able to accommodate my schedule. I was amazingly not-freaked out throughout the entire procedure. For those times when I did tense, he was reminded me to breathe and I relaxed. I am thoroughly impressed with him and plan to send anyone whom I care about to him. In a sentence, Brandon Seto is excellent. As a bonus they have free parking for their patients in the building. No valet, not tickets, no stickers or guards. This is a truly unexpected and wonderful perk for an office in Santa Monica read more
