Dr. Cranon is the best dentist for those who are scared of dental work. The whole office is friendly and welcoming. He ensures that you have a good experience while taking great care of your teeth. Highly recommended! read more

Dr pulled 6 of my front teeth and never provided replacements. That was November 2025, it is now March 2026. Whenever I went back to finish the procedure and get my crowns, he would claim that there was some problem with the lab or that I came on the wrong day. All of the temporaries have fallen out so I'm walking around with no front teeth. When I went in to have the temporaries reglued back in, he simply ignored me. It is clear to me that he has no intention of finishing the job since I have now been informed that he is retiring. I have paid him a partial payment of $1500 that he refuses to refund. I desperately need my money as I have no intention of returning to this horrible dentist. read more

Yes I have recommended lots of people. Dr D Cranon is a gentle man he works with my anxiety and his staff are very much supportive, I truly will say if anyone is afraid of going to the dentist and have tremendous fear. There are this type of Dr that make it so much better. I enjoy it and I'll continue to go to Dr Cranon read more

First, I am extremely puzzled as to how this office can have more than three stars. Perhaps your experience may vary depending on what type of insurance you have, but my experience is as follows: Appointment: Do not bother making an appointment because "walk-in" patients will be seen before patients with appointments (See other reviews regarding appointments vs "walk-in"). For instance, my appointment was at 1:00 pm, and I waited an hour, but multiple "walk-in" patients who came after me, saw the dentist before me - outrageous. Medi-Cal: While I was lying down on the dental chair - getting ready for the checkup and cleaning - the dentist asked his staff if I was a Medi-Cal patient. Now, I am not a dentist, and I am not sure whether the type of insurance I have has any effects on the outcome of the checkup but I could attest that the "cleaning" I got lasted less than 10 minutes - and certainly not because my teeth were clean because I saw another dentist three days after, and they were surprised that I even got any "cleaning" done. All in all, my experience was not pleasant, and I will not return. But you may have a better experience if you do not have Medi-Cal. read more

No , I don't recommend This Dental office at all. For starters you make an appointment and they don't see you until one hour to two hours past appointment time . Also, they are very slow. Customer service sucks very badly,, lobby area always had a bad Odor !! read more

I've been going to Dr Cranon since I was a little girl! He's the best Dentist in the whole wide world! I don't let anyone else touch my teeth. The staff is friendly and efficient! It's a 2 hour drive from where I live but wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you Doctor Cranon & Staff for all that you do! read more

I was recommended to this dentist from my best friend. I went to Dr Cranon on April 12, 2024. Going in the office, it was patients in the lobby. Everyone look so relaxed. I had to fill out forms being a new patient. I fill out my forms gave them back to the nurse at the front desk She was very professional and so sweet. I was called about 30 minutes after. The nurse name Anna did my X-rays so nice and gentle. Then Dr Cranon came examine my teeth, told me what I have to get done, but was also very professional and gentle and just kind. I'm scheduled for my cleaning on next week and the journey begins. Dr Cranon has a wonderful staff working with him. I already recommended some of my family members to check him out. You should too. read more

Only go if you're interested in spending several hours in a waiting room. Terrible scheduling system. It's great that this place offers walk-in appointments and takes medi-cal but there's literally no reason to add yourself to the schedule if everyone is treated to the same first-come first-served selection process -- and not even because I noticed two people serviced before me were long gone by the time I decided three hours was more than enough time to wait for a BOOKED appointment. They really need to work on the amount of time allotted for each patient instead of cramming as many people in the waiting room (or parking lot) as possible. I'm sure Dr. Cranon is nice. I'll never know. read more

Best dentist very caring and have compassion and empathy to his patients all smiles over here go check them out 5 stars

Amazing dentist I was a Mess looking like Chrisiana Rock missin my front tooth because I was so traumatized by a bad experience in Palmdale with a horrible dentist! Dr. Cranon always got the jams playing to help you relax and is so attentive to your comfort ensuring that if your feeling any pain he will stop numb the area again and wait for it to take effect. He is so patient and clearly experienced I mean he only went to USC & UCLA!!! Dr. Cranon got me back to my confident LA self sharing this Colgate Smile again so I'm forever grateful!! read more

cool dentist very detail honest and gets me tight every time . only problem is his staff brenda clark he needs to get rid of her and her nasty attitude, she thinks because she works there she can do what she wants on ortho days not having it read more

Love Dr Cranon, I moved to Las Vegas about 5 years ago but I come back to LA for the Dentist. I only want him working on my teeth. He is almost 100% pain free! Great doctor! I give him a 5 Star rating! read more

I grew up going to fancy dentist offices in beverly hills where you paid $500 for a cleaning. Maybe this place doesn't have marble floors and flat screen tvs in every room but dr. cranon does just a good of a job if not better read more

Horrible experience. My wife had a dental emergency in awful pain and I called on a Saturday, explained the situation and asked if they could look at her mouth and make a diagnosis. They do braces on Saturday so no work could be done but a diagnosis could be made. I Uber my wife from Sherman Oaks to the dental office (they knew the distance she was coming). She gets there and the doctor looked at her mouth the gave her a prescription for antibiotics. Didn't look in her mouth, looked at her mouth and gave no diagnosis. Then they would not take my call the next couple of times I called which means they recognized the number and knew the did wrong. Dirty players don't go to this office! read more

Dr Cranon is the best dentist EVER!!! He is very affordable also. As the other reviews state--Dr Cranon cares for people, he is gentle and kind, a very genuine person. Believe me you cannot go wrong with this dentist, once you go visit him, you will be sorry you never visited him sooner. read more

Myself & my now 18 year old daughter have been patients of his for years. I was originally referred to him by a friend who understood my fears and my dentist hoping because I wouldn't like the lack of a bedside manner I would receive, I often couldn't relax and experienced extreme anxiety that I couldn't shake. Dr Cranon has been a perfect fit for me he listens and takes note of the type of patient you are and treats the patient accordingly. What I have valued most is his patience with me. He takes the time to explain what to expect & makes sure I'm okay as we begin and all of his staff give you the same care, compassion & patience. I'm sure there's a lot of adults that share in anxiety when it comes to dental work. If so, try his office everyone has a heart! read more

So lets go based off the fact , i get so much anxiety for the dentist even though im a dental assistant myself lol , BUT DR.CRANON IS HANDS DOWN MY DENTIST shout outs to his practice well put together and great communication skills . Took care of me so well with the wisdom tooth that has been bugging me for the past year . Popped the puppy out in less than 5 minutes . Thank you guys .you guys are appreciated !

Sitting here very frustrated my appointment was at 9 AM and it is 954 this is my return visit I have paid $500 out of my pocket not no free insurance from the government my hard worked for money.. They need to work on their scheduling and their appointments read more

Cranon Daryl, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Where do I start? Maybe by saying that if I could give him more stars, then I would! I have lived in several states and different countries around the world, however, Dr. Cranon is the only person I have allowed to touch my teeth. I am a lifelong patient of his and I can't see that ever changing. I have experienced nearly every procedure you can imagine here and have always had a pleasant experience. He has always done a great job of explaining what I can expect and has been unbelievably accommodating when it comes to fitting me in the schedule. In fact, I recall coming in a few times before office hours to get some work done before leaving town. The dental assistants in the office are amazing, the music is always good, and I love the receptionist Brenda and Antoinette! Little word of advice... always bring a light jacket as it can get chilly in the chair. Thanks for all your outstanding work over the years Dr. Cranon! read more

The only dentist I've been to my whole life . So gentle & always takes his time ! Takes my insurance which is a big plus lol never pay out of pocket ! :) read more

The office was unprofessional. I signed in and waited almost two hours, no body came to help me. I was there on appointment. Many people who came behind me , got in and got treated, but not me . The patients who got in before me look like they knew each other. I went to the receptionist to check why I am not being called. He said he has no idea why. Yes, he can't even tried to help. All he said was he can't control what was happening and suggested to give me another appointment date! read more

Horrible service. Always waited HOURS before I was seen. They obviously book several people in one time slot in order to make more money. Extremely unprofessional. Dr.Cranon is not welcoming or comforting at all, I was his patient for months and he never even cared to remember my name or talk to me. He also misdiagnosed one of my dental issues which led to my tooth having to be extracted. The office and equipment are very outdated. I'm at a new dentist now and they are wonderful which led me to leaving this review because I want to let people know that there's way better options. read more

Today's bad experience. I had a 7:00 am appointment. There were 6 walk-in patients that came the same time that I did and all walk-in patients were taken back for service and I was left waiting in the waiting room, even when I told the receptionist that I had an appointment. He verified my appointment, but still left me waiting, while the walk-in patients were getting service. I have been a patient there for 14 years and this is my last time dealing with office. Rating minus 0. read more

Dr. Daryl Cranon does great work and has great prices. Every dentist office I called near me charged more than this one. That's why I went here to begin with. He ended up doing a lot of work for me. It was as pleasant as a dentist's office can get. :) Thank you for a good experience! The rest of the staff is friendly as well! read more

The best dentist I have ever been to. Very professional and fast. Almost painless procedures. Highly recommend him to anyone needing a dentist. read more

I had perfect experience with Dr. Cranon. I've had a difficult time finding a knowledgeable dentist who takes the time to explain my dental health to me. He was all the above and I'll be visiting him for all my dental work in the future. I highly recommend him and his friendly staff. read more

Very insensitive and unempathetic dentist. Initially he seemed courteous but when it was time for him to pull out my tooth, i felt a little bit of pain and jerked. The insensitive dentist said if you cant sit still, i might need to cancel this procedure. I told him, i still felt some pain, then he applied more lidocaine (numbing medication) and i was good from there. Will never go there again. Dentist need to know most people visit them because it's inevitable. read more

I'm so thankful i went here. The service is genuine, pretty timely, and very good at what they do. I don't usually put in reviews, unless i feel something really stood out. I had an immediate appointment to extract my wisdom tooth. Quick with the xrays, quick to tell me the procedure and options, and have me a price before doing anything (couldn't take my specific insurance, that's not their fault). The procedure is gruesome in itself, i have had a wisdom tooth removed before so i knew what i was getting myself into. The fact that I had to be awake again bothered me, but this time it was my choice. They made it as easy as possible for me, sparing the gory details, I walked out smiling. Gauze and all, haha. ...and this was all yesterday evening! The fact i could get my tooth pulled the DAY i called AND two days BEFORE Christmas is not usual. Thank you! read more

I've been to Dr.Cranon several times and it's been a great experience. The staff and doctor are EXTREMELY friendly and make you right at home. The facility is nothing to look at from the outside, but on the inside it's very clean and fully equipped with several dental areas and all the latest dental technology. The prices have always been VERY affordable and they very easy to work with on payments. Dr.Cranon offers nitrous oxide gas for relaxation during dental procedures, an option I've used several times to loosen my nerves. Once you have the gas and the shots, you'll barely notice any discomfort (even during full extractions). Dr.Cranon is very skilled in his craft, and was very gentle in all my dental work. Everything was extremely clean and sterile, the staff really does a great job on that. You don't really make appointments, you just come in and wait in the waiting room. Making appointments is pointless because it will be the same wait time regardless. Speaking of which, be prepared for a 30-60 minute wait time because the doctor hops from area to area working on several people at time. It's understandable because the prices are so low, a lot of people are lining up to see him. Dr. Cranon is also someone I trust, he's never attempted to upsell me into expensive procedures. I'll keep coming back as long as he's in business. read more

First time visitor. Last time customer. While Dr. Cranon was cordial & professional, he certainly was not warm or inviting. I didn't really feel at ease while I was there. The equipment was not up-to-date nor was I offered a copy of my x-rays once the work was completed. (I did end up getting them, but only after I requested them.) I originally came for a cleaning but don't feel that Dr. Cranon did a thorough job. He barely "scraped" my teeth, didn't administer an oral cancer screening & didn't polish all of my teeth. He FAILED to check my gums to see if there was any receding or gum disease. EPIC FAIL on his part. I almost called my insurance company to report malpractice - I will definitely NEVER return. On a bright note, the office staff was very friendly. read more

Dr Cranon has become one of my most favorite Dentist. He is very kind, gentle & has a very relaxing voice. He takes his time with his patients. So if ur in a rush cancel ur other appointments. He is ole skool & I luv that!!!! I had my Xrays procedure & cleaning no problem. I had 2 reschedule 2 return...one of the procedures was just 2 uncomfortable (even with an injection & gas). I had 2 get a prescription of Diazepam (Valium)...omg that made a world of difference!!!! So far this has become my favorite Dentist office!!! read more

I called a month in advance to make appointments for wisdom teeth extraction for my three daughters. I inquired at that time if they could be put to sleep for the procedure and was given a positive response. After making work arrangements for myself and the two oldest upon arriving at the office was informed that the procedure could not be done that day due to them needing to take valium 24 hours prior to procedure. So in the end nothing was done and I will have to locate an oral surgeon that give you all the information in advance when asked. Beware of info given by his front office. read more

Good dentist, a few of my family members go there he does great work. Today it was very disappointing my family was there with my two girls (7,2) all the staff acted very stupid because kids where there. They kept complaining about them. my girls aren't trouble makers that's why is very disappointing. They weren't allowed to touch magazines or sit on the floor. They were being supervised at all times and when they had a snack they acted like the world was ending. They might as well say no kids allowed. read more

Great staff, Dr. Daryl is a real pleasure to be treated by he practices patience and is an easy going kind of guy. The office is clean and tidy. Parking is a NIGHTMARE !!! I like to make my appointments easily enough to get out of the way before everyone else wakes up and decides they want whatever else in that strip mall. I wish he had a private location to park at , but he doesn't so customer service makes up for it. read more

Came in for an emergency molar repair. Dr Cranon was very accommodating and did excellent work. Great facility and staff as well. Will recommend him to everyone! read more

Very easy to get a walk in never too crowded but busy all the same long on service short on wait time experienced dentist has been in the Crenshaw Venice community for decades read more

If Los Angeles had any idea how brilliant this doctor is, we'd have to wait months to see him. Today I had the best experience in a dentist's chair of my 63 years. I'm so happy I found Dr. Cranon. The man has the touch of an artist. read more

THIS IS SOOOOOO MY DENTIST! I base the type of insurance that i get on if his office accepts it! And for a while when i didn't have insurance i paid cash! He has been in my mouth for over 23 years now!! I was a young 20 with a terrible tooth ache and he got me together! Dr. D.C has the most gentle touch and will do all that he can to save your teeth... He is a master at his craft and no one ever believes me when i say that my experiences at the dentist are pleasent and pain free... SERIOUSLY the smallest of pricks and then NOTHING! Now the wait can be long SOMETIMES but think about it ... Its because he takes his time making sure that you and every one of his paitents are comfortable...you wouldn't want a dentist who rushed you in and out would you? And to top EVERYTHING eles off the front desk staff are kind helpful and professional! Love love love this place... read more

I love going to the dentist now that I have been so fortunate to be Dr. Cranon's patient. He is so calm, caring and very attentive to my every need. I love the service his facility provides. I found this facility about 2 years ago in yelp with great reviews, and ever since then I have not thought of going to see a different doctor other than Dr. Cranon. It's a small clinic but with an appointment and a punctual arrival you will be seen right away. I had 1 wisdom tooth extraction, my teeth cleaned and 3 fillings all in one visit and I was in no pain during and after the procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Cranon! read more
